"Stop! Stop..." With a loud shout, Xue Yun suddenly raised his hand and tried his best to meet Xie Qi's extremely fierce attack.
In an instant, a powerful impact force came like a tidal wave. Xue Yun only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and his whole body was like a kite with a broken string, and was shaken and flew several meters away.
It has been a month and a half since he entered the secret realm. He didn't expect that the first person he met again would be Xie Qi. What he didn't expect was that Xie Qi's strength was so terrifying.
After just a few rounds of fighting, he was already clearly at a disadvantage and was controlled everywhere.
Seeing that Xie Qi showed no intention of stopping and was about to launch an even more fierce and fierce attack, Xue Yun's heart tightened and his eyes narrowed slightly. At the same time, his right hand subconsciously stroked the ring on his left index finger.
However, just as he was about to secretly take off the ring, he caught a glimpse of several figures running quickly from a distance.
Xue Yun's heart moved, and his hand paused for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, he gave up the idea of taking off the ring.
Meanwhile, Mu Ze saw the two men fighting fiercely from afar. Fearing the situation would worsen, he quickly used his agility to fly in front of Xie Qi.
Mu Ze held Xie Qi's arm tightly and said, "Don't do it. I know him. He is the disciple of the dean of the academy, Brother Xue Yun."
Hearing this, Xie Qi was slightly startled, and the moves he had been preparing to launch suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Mu Ze, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, as if he was still a little skeptical about the situation before him.
However, since Mu Ze said so, there must be something true. So, Xie Qi slowly lowered his hands, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
The group that followed closely behind Mu Ze, upon seeing Xue Yun's figure, ran to his side with faces filled with joy. They were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves, and shouted in unison: "Senior Brother Xue Yun! Why are you here? Could it be that the elders sent you to take us out?"
"We've endured so much hardship until now, and finally we can see the light of day again!"
"That must be the case. Senior Brother Xue Yun must have come all the way here to greet us!"
Xue Yun overheard their chatter, and a look of deep apology crossed his face. He slowly explained, "My fellow junior brothers, I'm truly sorry. I've been entrusted by the dean to monitor your assessments. Unexpectedly... as soon as I entered this secret realm, the entrance would no longer open. Now... I'm trapped here."
After saying this, Xue Yun cast his gaze towards the group of fellow apprentices in front of him, who all looked a little dejected, and continued, "I originally wanted to reunite with you all as soon as possible, but I couldn't find any trace of you anywhere."
At this point, he frowned slightly, a look of suspicion on his face, and asked, "Where have you all been?"
However, in response to Xue Yun's question, no one present responded. Instead, they all turned their heads and focused their attention on Xie Qi.
It seemed as if they were waiting for Xie Qi's order. For a moment, the atmosphere in the field became a little subtle.
Xie Qi walked to the front of the crowd and glanced at Xue Yun who was standing beside him, but did not respond to the other party's previous question.
After a moment of silence, Xie Qi suddenly asked, "Why did you attack me just now?"
Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes shot towards Xue Yun like lightning, their eyes full of vigilance and alertness.
Although these people did not know what exactly happened between Xie Qi and Xue Yun that led to the fight between them.
But at this moment, when they heard Xie Qi's questioning, they almost subconsciously chose to believe Xie Qi, and took a step back, slowly moving towards the direction where Xie Qi was.
It was obvious that in the minds of these people, they trusted Xie Qi more than the senior brother who was highly respected in Wuxing Academy.
Facing the enemy-like gazes of the crowd, Xue Yun's face instantly turned a little surprised. He thought that his status would at least make them trust and rely on him, but this was not the case now.
Xue Yun hurriedly explained, "This is a complete misunderstanding! Just now, when I was passing by here, I saw a dark shadow swaying in the grass. Because monsters often appear in this area, I was nervous and attacked directly. When I got closer, I realized it was you, Brother Xie, squatting there."
After listening to Xue Yun's explanation, Xie Qi turned his head and looked at the place where he had just squatted.
I saw that the grass there was more than one meter high, and I was indeed half-squatting to pick herbs. If I hadn't looked closely from a close distance, it would have been difficult to find that there was a person hiding in the grass.
At this moment, Xue Yun hurriedly spoke again, "Originally, I wanted to explain to you. However, before I could even say a word, you attacked me directly... I'm so sorry, I definitely didn't mean to attack you on purpose!"
Xie Qi stood there quietly, listening to every word Xue Yun said. After listening, he looked at Xue Yun deeply with a puzzled and inquiring look.
For some reason, he always felt vaguely that there seemed to be something wrong with what Xue Yun had just said, but for the moment he couldn't point out exactly where the problem lay.
Time passed minute by minute, and the surroundings fell into a depressing silence.
After a long while, Xie Qi finally broke the silence. He slowly said, "Now that we've figured out this is just a misunderstanding, let's just leave it at that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Qi bent down and picked up the precious herbs that had fallen to the ground and that he had just found with great difficulty.
Then, he reached out and took Mu Ze's hand, turned around and walked in the direction they came from, while saying to the people behind him: "Didn't you just ask where we went? Then follow us."
Xie Qi strode forward without looking back, and soon he had put some distance between himself and Xue Yun. The others who had originally gathered there saw this and followed Xie Qi's steps.
Xue Yun stayed there alone, staring at the backs of Xie Qi and his group, feeling an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
You know, it was the first time for him to be looked down upon or even ignored by a group of new junior brothers like today.
However, although he felt very strange, Xue Yun did not dare to delay too long. After a little hesitation, he immediately took a step forward and hurriedly chased forward.
