At this moment, Xie Cheng, who didn't get a single pill, stood there, looking at Xie Qi's happy face in embarrassment.
Xie Cheng's anger grew, and before he knew it, he hated the entire Mu family. Especially when he saw Mu Ze treat Xie Qi so gently and kindly, but was so cold to him, he was furious, but he dared not say a word.
Xie Cheng had always thought that Mu Ze treated everyone the same, but he had never expected him to be such a snob! Whenever he saw someone powerful, he would immediately go over to offer his attention, completely disregarding him.
Thinking of this, Xie Cheng's impression of Mu Ze completely changed 180 degrees, as if the white moonlight he thought he had was suddenly shattered.
However, even though Xie Cheng kept cursing in his heart, Xie Qi and others didn't seem to notice his dissatisfaction and were still immersed in the happy and peaceful atmosphere.
Finally, Xie Cheng couldn't hold back any longer and shamelessly walked over to the table and sat down in the last empty seat. Seeing this, Xie Qi just glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Night had already fallen, and stars twinkled in the vast night sky.
This was the time when the spiritual energy in Lingquan Valley was at its most abundant. Therefore, everyone present crossed their legs, closed their eyes, and began to practice breathing exercises quietly.
However, not everyone was so absorbed in their cultivation. Each family would carefully dispatch a member to guard the night, to prevent the sudden appearance of the ferocious monsters lurking in the darkness.
Mu Ze also took the initiative to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to practice, and took on the responsibility of keeping watch for his fellow disciples without hesitation.
Time passed quietly, and when the night was gradually dispelled by the dawn, Xie Qi slowly opened his eyes and noticed the familiar figure not far away.
Without any hesitation, Xie Qi immediately stood up and walked quickly towards where Mu Ze was.
When he got closer, Xie Qi asked with concern: "Why don't you go and rest first? There are still two hours before dawn. I will guard the back."
At this time, Mu Ze was leaning lazily on a big rock. After hearing the sound, he turned his head slightly and looked at Xie Qi calmly.
However, in response to Xie Qi's question, Mu Ze just smiled lightly and replied calmly: "I'm not sleepy. It's more important for you to practice with peace of mind." After that, he shifted his gaze back to the still dim forest in front of him.
But Xie Qi did not listen to Mu Ze's advice. Instead, he walked straight to the stone behind Mu Ze and sat down without saying a word.
Then, he looked at Mu Ze, a warm smile appeared on his lips, and he said softly: "Then I will keep watch with you."
Hearing this, Mu Ze couldn't help but turn around, frowning slightly, and said seriously: "Don't be like this. The spiritual energy here is extremely rich, which is very suitable for cultivation. Don't miss this precious opportunity."
But Xie Qi remained unmoved. He shook his head firmly and replied, "Don't worry. Even without the help of this spiritual spring, my cultivation speed will not slow down at all. We will have plenty of time to cultivate and improve together in the future."
Hearing this, Mu Ze tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Xie Qi from the corner of his eye. Then he turned his head away quickly as if he had received an electric shock, and at the same time advised: "Don't always rely on pills to practice. If you continue like this for a long time, too much pill poison will accumulate in your body, which will cause great damage to your body."
Hearing this, Xie Qi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a subtle cunning flashed in his eyes, and he asked softly: "Are you worried about me, A Ze?"
Mu Ze's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm on his face and answered without hesitation: "You think too much, I just said it casually..."
Hearing this, Xie Qi deliberately put on a pitiful look and sighed, "Alas, it turns out I was just being sentimental. It really makes me sad..."
Mu Ze felt a wave of emotion as he listened to Xie Qi's words. He wanted to explain, but when he turned around, he saw Xie Qi staring at him with a smile on his face. In an instant, Mu Ze knew he had been tricked by this guy.
However, before Mu Ze could react, Xie Qi suddenly raised his hand, gently placed it on Mu Ze's hair, and said softly: "Don't move, there is a leaf here..."
At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, and the distance between the two was so close, so close that it could only accommodate a small fist.
At this moment, Xie Cheng, who had been practicing beside him and couldn't concentrate, slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the scene before him, his eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "What the hell are you two doing?!"
Xie Cheng, who had been holding back his anger all the way, when he saw the two of them getting along, all his forbearance instantly broke through his carefully constructed camouflage defense line like a flood breaking through a dam.
No matter how perfect he had behaved before, at this moment, he could no longer maintain that hypocritical mask and completely exposed his true nature.
Xie Cheng walked hurriedly towards the two men with a gloomy face. When he reached them, he could no longer suppress his anger and questioned Mu Zelai with his eyes wide open: "Have you forgotten who your fiancé is? How dare you flirt with another man so brazenly in front of me! Is this how you, the Mu family, raise your children? You have no shame and no manners!"
Mu Ze turned around at the sound, his expression darkening at Xie Cheng's rebuke. But he still managed to maintain basic courtesy, responding in a cold tone, "Mr. Xie, please respect yourself. I've made it clear, absolutely clear, that I have no feelings for you at all. As for compensation, you can always ask the Mu family for it if you're willing, but you've been so persistent, refusing to let go."
"Bah! Stop pretending to be noble! You won't even let me touch you, but you throw yourself into the arms of that wild man and let him touch you! You obviously already have a fiancé, but you still shamelessly seduce other men..." Xie Cheng became more and more excited, and his words became more and more unbearable to hear.
However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a huge amount of energy rushing towards him like a tidal wave.
The energy came with such force and speed as lightning that he was knocked away before he even had time to react.
The body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily several meters away, raising a cloud of dust.
