Xie Zhou casually waved his hand, absorbing the mysterious power on the spirit insect. Although he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, he felt a trace of spiritual energy within his body changing with the fluctuations.
She raised her hand to look at her fingertips, waved it in the air, and closed her eyes to search for traces of that mysterious power within her body.
Before he could react much, he heard a gasp from behind him.
Hua Zilai was initially surprised by what he saw, but suddenly his head started to ache more and more, causing his vision to blur and him to fall to the ground.
Xie Zhouzong's power disappeared. He turned to look at the person lying behind him. Although he didn't know what had happened, he could tell from the other person's expression that it wasn't good. He walked over and squatted down to examine the person.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel conflicted. Hua Zilai, wake up! Don't let anything happen at a time like this.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even Xie Zhou couldn't protect the disciple who had caused the problem. If anyone became suspicious, she wouldn't know how to explain it.
Elder Xianjian slowly stood up from the side, walked forward, and bent down to try to touch him, but before he could touch him, Xie Zhou reached out and shoved him away.
"What is the elder trying to do?"
Seeing that he was being questioned, the elder spoke up to explain, "Your disciple fainted in front of everyone, so naturally I had to investigate to see if he had accidentally ingested anything. That way I can give everyone an explanation, and please don't make things difficult for me."
Xie Zhou knew that he absolutely could not let these people get close in the current situation. After all, no one knows what people are thinking, and their thoughts are never revealed on the surface.
We still don't know why Hua Zilai fainted. What if there was some accident, or if Elder Xianjin revealed something she didn't know in public? What would become of her reputation then?
"Xie Zhou, as a direct disciple, you should know what is most important in the sect. Don't be confused at this crucial moment."
Elder Xianjian made it clear that he was determined to conduct an experiment before he would give up.
But Xie Zhou is no longer the child she once was, and a few words of deception are not enough to make her submit.
"Elder, please do not worry about my disciple. I know that if anything happens, I will take full responsibility and will not implicate anyone else in the sect."
Upon hearing this, Elder Xianjian wanted to say something more, but he saw Xie Zhou pull out a knife from the side and point the sharp point at his own throat.
"I've said all I have to say. If anyone dares to gossip behind my back again, don't blame me for being impolite." Xie Zhou frowned, looking at the people around him, making it clear that he was memorizing their faces. If anyone dared to challenge him, they might as well give it a try.
"Xie Zhou, don't think that just because the sect leader favors you, you can act recklessly. Do you expect to warn every single one of the people present?"
Elder Immortal Sword raised her hand to try and catch the blade. After all, no one here had ever dared to point a weapon at her. Xie Zhou was the first, but she would never be the last.
Before things escalate beyond your control, you must stop them as soon as possible.
However, the other party had no intention of paying the bill. He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, slashed it into the air, and pressed the blade against the Immortal Sword Elder's arm. The threatening aura intensified wherever his gaze fell.
Seeing this, everyone finally shut up and decided to keep the matter a secret.
After an unknown amount of time, the boy's injuries had healed somewhat, and he slowly tapped the ground a few times with his fingers.
He opened his eyes, his gaze slowly focusing, and suddenly saw Xie Zhou appear before him. He instantly became furious, his eyes filled with a bloodshot red.
Before the other party could react, he sat up and grabbed Xie Zhou's slender neck, pinning her to the ground.
No matter how much the other party tries to entangle them, their strength is fixed here, and they really can't break free for a while.
Xie Zhou swung his arms around the ground, then suddenly grabbed something that looked like a stick, lifted his leg and pushed upwards, then knocked Hua Zilai unconscious with the stick.
Having finally broken free of his restraints, Xie Zhou reached out and covered his neck, which had been choked red, gently rubbing it as he observed the person lying on the ground.
"Your strength is really considerable. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I probably would have been finished off by you."
But no matter what he's thinking right now, he has to seriously consider what kind of dark things this guy has gone through to go crazy like this.
And what was the reason that the bloodshot eyes suddenly became so foul?
Xie Zhou took a deep breath, squatted down, and gently poked Hua Zilai's cheek, which was pressed against the ground, with the stick in his hand.
"You brat, you really go to sleep right after you've gone crazy. Let's see how I deal with you when you wake up."
After confirming that the other person had really fainted, she casually threw away the wooden stick she was holding in her palm and gently pinched and rubbed Hua Zilai's soft cheeks with two fingers.
"The feel is really good, but the feeling of anger just now is very unpleasant. If Elder Immortal Sword saw this, I don't know what crime he would punish you for."
Then, after thinking for a moment, he added in his mind, "Thank goodness I'm not him."
Otherwise, would you still be able to stay here peacefully?
This little thing has really impressed me!
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang out in the air, "Host, you really went all out. This kid's background was already pitiful enough, and now you've made him even more injured."
Xie Zhou finally snapped out of his daze upon hearing that shrewish voice, then sat down on the ground with a backhand swipe and looked up at the system floating in the air.
"He's pitiful, but am I not miserable too? Didn't you see me being choked to the ground and held so firmly? You didn't even come out to save me. The day your system can sense things, I'll make you the first one to experience the thrill of suffocation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zhou frowned, as if he had suddenly remembered the clue the system had mentioned earlier.
"Host, the system is aware of this. You'll probably have to wait eight hundred years, and by then, who knows how many missions you'll have to complete..."
Before the system could finish speaking, it was interrupted by the person in front of it, "Wait, you just said this kid's background is pitiful enough, what's going on? Do you know some clues?"
"That's right. This kid's childhood wasn't very pleasant to begin with, so naturally no one taught him how to conduct himself. He fainted because of the spiritual energy in his body, and now you've knocked him unconscious with a single blow. Isn't that just adding insult to injury?"
Hearing this, Xie Zhou finally felt a pang of heartache...
