Chapter 160 Eastern Regions 23 Wang Min wanted to avoid making herself too conspicuous...
To avoid drawing attention, Wang Min only slowed down slightly, and then, when she thought no one was watching, quietly turned around and ran behind Xie Jiaoyue, at a distance that was just enough to eavesdrop.
All that could be heard was Xie Jiaoyue whispering to Feng Qianqian beside her.
"There's a weird person over there. It's not surprising that he's running, but he seems to have no sense of direction. He's actually run behind us. If he keeps running, he'll run off the field."
Feng Qianqian couldn't help but glance back. The person looked somewhat familiar but not quite, like someone she knew.
The mage and sword cultivators weren't together at first, so Feng Qianqian had only been with Xie Jiaoyue for a short time and hadn't seen Chu Xingjin yet. She was still excited to see her friend again, shaking her head left and right: "Jiaoyue, aren't we going to cut some bamboo? Do you know what purple bamboo looks like?"
Those who hadn't left yet overheard their conversation and couldn't help but shake their heads. Their tone suggested they didn't recognize Zizhu at all. Great, two less rivals.
Xie Jiaoyue shook her head honestly: "I really don't know him, but I have a way."
Wang Min was extremely curious. Seeing Xie Jiaoyue and Feng Qianqian walking into the woods, she couldn't help but follow them, and before she knew it, she was even closer to them.
Then, a fireball flew over his head, taking away a lock of his hair, turning the vigorous young man into a nearly thirty-year-old balding man.
Wang Min let out a howl and squatted down, clutching his head. This handsome young man had been hoping to meet his soulmate at the All-Region Grand Competition, but now he had completely lost his right to choose a partner!
"You've gone too far!"
"You're following us, is that going too far?"
“This isn’t stalking, I’m following you openly and honestly! We’re all from Jinling City.” He held up one finger, pointing at Xie Jiaoyue, but he didn’t dare to straighten it, making it look somewhat contorted. “You’re the leader of Jinling City, what’s so strange about me following you?”
Xie Jiaoyue then remembered, "Oh, so this is the person. I almost forgot there was such a person in the team."
Although their relationship was clearly not good, they were still from Jinling City and didn't seem to know Zizhu, so they would help her if they could.
Of course, it wasn't because of the large bag of spirit stones that Wang Min had taken out.
"Besides this, I also exchanged two sets of women's clothing with the people from the Northern Region!" They were made according to Xie Jiaoyue and Feng Qianqian's figures, full of the cold and murderous aura of the Northern Region, and they were trousers, which were very suitable for the current scene.
Knowing that he was not well-liked because he had teamed up with Chu Xingjin, he had long been trying to curry favor with the core members of the team.
Xie Jiaoyue's face immediately lit up with a smile.
This kid, although he didn't know how to do things before, is quite savvy now.
Xie Jiaoyue tacitly allowed this person to stay by their side.
There are several laborers.
"You can fly on a sword, right? Oh wait, there are restrictions on flying on a sword here. Can you climb trees? Climb to the top of the tallest one, and then count the disturbance of the bamboo in each place."
Wang Min was confused, but he really didn't recognize the purple bamboo, so he had no choice but to obediently act like a monkey and huff and puff as he climbed up the bamboo.
He didn't know what was wrong with the bamboo; he couldn't use any light-body techniques to climb it, so he had no choice but to climb it using his physical strength.
He's a magic cultivator, not one of those sword or body cultivators who rely on physical strength. What sins did he commit to deserve being treated like a monkey here?
With a creak, Wang Min felt her lower back strain.
Wang Min huffed and puffed as he climbed down again, bent down to pick up many bamboo leaves from the ground, and then used his feet to clear a large area of clean land. Using the leaves to represent the number of people, he began to explain the flow of people in different directions to Xie Jiaoyue.
Xie Jiaoyue held back for a while but couldn't help asking, "Didn't you bring paper and pen?"
Wang Min looked up, like an innocent kindergarten child: "Why bring something like this?"
"Why don't you just draw that branch on the ground? Isn't using leaves too abstract?"
As Xie Jiaoyue spoke, a gentle breeze blew by, and the leaves on the ground were scattered in disarray.
Wang Min: ...
Maybe he's gone mad from being a monkey.
Wang Min picked up another twig and scratched it on the ground, then leaned close to Xie Jiaoyue and asked, "Sister Jiaoyue, how do we find Zizhu?"
What did you call me?
Xie Jiaoyue remembered that this person was older than her.
Wang Min cupped her hands in greeting: "The one with higher cultivation is the elder sister!"
Their Wang family's ancestral precepts are so simple and honest.
Wang Min smiled innocently, her former arrogance completely gone: "My mom threw me into the Trial Zone for a month, but when I came out, my cultivation was still not as good as yours. I knew then that you were my only sister!"
And now that I think about it, the reason he chose not to let Feng Qianqian perform with him was because he had no connection with Feng Qianqian. He could find an opportunity to stand out, so he naturally couldn't let go of such an opportunity.
But Chu Xingjin and Feng Qianqian are in love, so why did he agree to prevent Feng Qianqian from participating in the research conference? This person is so heartless even to his lover; he is not someone who can be trusted.
Then look at Xie Jiaoyue, she's completely different. At such a young age, she has already attracted so many people to her side with her personal charm.
If he's one more, it means he has good judgment.
Xie Jiaoyue smiled.
In the original work, this person was considered one of the male protagonist's staunch henchmen.
When Chu Xingjin was no longer the person with the highest cultivation level, nor the person with the best talent, he lost his halo, and his various flaws in personality finally began to be exposed.
Xie Jiaoyue released her spiritual energy.
Pure metal-elemental spiritual energy flowed from her fingertips and was channeled into the nearest bamboo stalk.
This one is wrong, this one is wrong, this one is right!
Since purple bamboo is known for its hardness, it must contain a rich metal-type spiritual energy.
What kind of creature is bamboo? It grows new bamboo shoots from its root system. As long as there is one mother bamboo, you can have a bamboo forest.
By following the root system and heading towards areas rich in metal-elemental spiritual energy, they can quickly find the purple bamboo.
Xie Jiaoyue was a little apprehensive when she first tried it. After all, many bamboo forests were practically barren, and apart from herself, there wouldn't be any plants taller than a meter in the bamboo forest.
Here, two kinds of bamboo grow together.
As a result, the bamboo in the cultivation world still did not violate the basic laws of bamboo, and each stalk remained together.
Xie Jiaoyue gave two locations: "Each of you go to one, there's purple bamboo there. After you've cut it down, come back here to find me."
Before leaving, Wang Min was skeptical. This was the first time he had seen purple bamboo. Purple bamboo looked no different from other bamboo. How could Xie Jiaoyue determine the location of the other two purple bamboos after touching them for a short while?
Can this person be trusted?
After walking for a while, Wang Min followed Xie Jiaoyue's directions and conjured an ice blade from water into ice in his hand. He raised his right arm and slashed with the blade.
Wow, it didn't budge an inch.
It really is purple bamboo!
