"There's nothing to say to a woman like you!"
Seeing that Tu Nian's secret technique revealed the level of the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core, Yuqing and the other two felt uneasy and planned to slip away with a random excuse. Unexpectedly, they turned around and walked out for only a few steps when a man came towards them.
When the two saw the newcomer, the haste on their faces immediately vanished, and they approached him as if they had found their backbone: "Senior Brother Xiao, you are finally here!"
Frowning, Xiao Yunxiang swung a folding fan at the two men on the head, "I told you to go on patrol, but you've been dawdling for so long. Are you slacking off again?"
Taking advantage of the two timid ones making way, Tu Nian used a wind spell to bring the snow-covered disciple to his side. After confirming that he was alright, he protected him behind him. Immediately, he raised his eyebrows and said to Bo Qiu, "Hmm, another acquaintance."
Bo Qiu remained noncommittal. This man had often opposed Tu Nian when he was still in sword form, and the frequency of this had been truly impressive.
Tu Nian was thinking about how to catch up with this buddy when he suddenly felt his hand was empty. It turned out that the little boy in the snow had pulled his hand out.
She turned and asked, "What's wrong?"
The boy bowed respectfully to her and said seriously, "Thank you for your help, senior. I will always remember this and will repay you if I have the chance in the future. However, I have never seen you in the sect before, so I wonder who you are..."
Tu Nian blinked, but before he could say anything, the boy waved his hand again, "In an emergency, we have to make decisions based on our circumstances. Everything you said was to protect me, and I understand. But for now, you two should just leave me alone. That man is the son of the Xiao family, and he's not someone you'll want to mess with."
"My fellow disciples are not far down this street. If I carry it, someone will definitely see me. But it would be bad if it affected you two."
Good boy!
Tu Nian's affection for the boy instantly increased. He immediately held him in his arms and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry. With me here today, they can't touch a hair on your head."
Protecting one's shortcomings is instinctive, but it also requires positive and negative feedback. In other words, what adult wouldn't like such a polite and responsible child?
However, even though he was protecting his son, Tu Nian seemed to have forgotten that he was just a little kid who had just turned sixteen, and was only a few years older than the boy.
Except for the stubborn and dull young man like Xu Ziqiao, most of the Taoists are quite precocious. Being held in the arms of a soft and fragrant girl, the little boy blushed suddenly, his eyes moved around in panic, not knowing where to look.
Taking in the expressions of the two men, Bo Qiu's brows twitched slightly, and he reached out to grab the two men on both sides of him.
Tu Nian looked at him suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
"Who did you learn this habit of touching me?"
He calmly withdrew his hand and said, "Can't you see that I'm unhappy?"
"I……"
The boy was stunned for a moment, and was about to explain when he looked up at Bo Qiu's slightly dull eyes. He immediately understood something and lowered his head again, scratching his head and saying, "My parents said that men and women shouldn't touch each other..."
Tu Nian didn't think much about it and smiled at him in understanding, "Oh, yes. That's the reason. Sorry, I'm being rude."
After saying that, she looked at Bo Qiu again and teased, "Not bad, very considerate."
Bo Qiu turned his eyes away speechlessly, too lazy to pay attention to her, while the boy smiled secretly at her.
"I'm not being lazy. What could take so long?"
On the other side, Xiao Yunxiang was questioning his two useless junior brothers with a sullen face.
The one with the small eyes suddenly became extremely arrogant now that he had someone to back him up. He pointed at Tu Nian and Bo Qiu and said loudly, "Those two people wanted to cause trouble on our territory. My junior brother and I wanted to intervene, but they relied on their cultivation to ignore us and insisted on bullying us!"
Tu Nian laughed out loud at this, crossing his arms and saying, "That's strange. When did Tianmu Ridge become your Yuqing territory?"
Xiao Yunxiang hadn't thought it was a big deal, but when he heard her say that, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his spiritual sense locked onto Tu Nian and Bo Qiu. "How did you know we were from Yuqing?"
"You take care of me."
Looking past him at the two behind him, Tu Nian said, "These two threatened my sect's disciples, and I haven't settled accounts with you, Yuqing. So, from the look on Master Xiao's face, are you planning to act recklessly?"
Xiao Yunxiang felt a moment of relief when she called his name. It turned out that she mentioned Yuqing because she recognized him, but the next moment he narrowed his eyes again.
The sect’s plan cannot be leaked from him, especially not to Jixue!
The spiritual power explored the cultivation level of the two people and found that one of them was in the middle stage of Jindan, and the other was actually an ordinary person. Xiao Yunxiang lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, playing with the folding fan and moving towards Tu Nian.
"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."
"Don't try that."
Tu Nian didn't give him a chance to get close to her. She threw out several talismans from the mustard seed, isolating Xiao Yunxiang and her. She said indifferently, "Either cede the land or pay compensation. You choose one."
Xiao Yunxiang had originally hoped to quietly take down the three men by using some intimacy, but when he saw their vigilance, he immediately gave up hope. His expression suddenly changed as he said, "Since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being reckless. Capture them!"
As Xiao Yunxiang swung his hands repeatedly, several powerful spells quickly rushed towards Tu Nian and the other two. Then, a fine iron sword with a plain blue hilt appeared out of thin air in his hand. He used the Jade Clear Sword Technique and stabbed towards Tu Nian with great momentum.
Two of Yuqing's disciples also rushed forward. Tu Nian and his companions were instantly surrounded on three sides and the situation was very dangerous.
Tu Nian didn't expect that Xiao Yunxiang, who always put interests first, would attack them in broad daylight, especially when she had already reported Jixue's identity. She was a little surprised and her reaction was a little slow.
At the moment she slowed down, the little boy stepped forward, the sword at his waist was already unsheathed, and a sword energy shaped like a long dragon was drawn across his chest.
"Two seniors, you go first, I will cover you!"
His bravery is certainly worthy of praise, but Xiao Yunxiang was determined to capture the three people, so he would not feel pity just because his opponent was a child.
The sword wind spells intertwined and merged into a hurricane, almost overturning the shops on both sides of the street.
Tu Nian boasted that she was not able to withstand a move from Xiao Yunxiang, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, with her own strength. She grabbed the boy by the back of the collar with one hand and immediately performed several techniques to lighten her body and raise her energy, which forced her and Bo Qiu to retreat rapidly. She did not seek to completely avoid the opponent's killing move, but only to slow down their offensive so as to find the right opportunity to counterattack or escape.
With Tu Nian's cultivation level at the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, he couldn't defeat Xiao Yunxiang, who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm relying on drugs, but he had room to escape.
Xiao Yunxiang failed to succeed in several attempts and suddenly became anxious.
