Upon hearing this, Geng Qi turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Your junior disciple has quite good insight."
Because she participated in the apprenticeship ceremony, Su Mo'er became a second-generation disciple of the Tianzhi Sect and addressed Rong Yu as her senior uncle.
Seeing that the man walked towards Rong Yu with a calm expression, Su Mo'er was stunned.
The two were master and disciple. The disciple did not greet his master with proper etiquette. Although he lacked respect, his words and actions were full of undisguised intimacy.
She suddenly realized something, looked up, and realized that she should call him "Royal Brother" in terms of closeness. After hesitating for a moment, she cupped her hands and called him "Uncle-Master".
She always felt that her elder brother, the emperor, didn't treat her very well!
Rong Yu ignored him and just watched the person slowly walk towards him. When the person got closer, he reached out and pulled him to his side.
"It is said that royalty has no close relatives, and you siblings are indeed not close at all."
"..."
Su Mo'er was almost certain that she was worrying for nothing.
This person is definitely not from Sangzhong City, but he is also someone who would never harm them.
Rong Yu clearly knew this person's true identity!
It's even possible that Rong Yu deliberately brought this person in!
She even harbored suspicions and tried to probe him, wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Look at that hand that's already wrapped around the boy's waist—it's blatant possessiveness!
There's definitely more to the relationship between these two than meets the eye.
She wondered about the relationship between the two, and seeing that there was no movement from the other side, she couldn't help but secretly raise her eyes to take a look.
Geng Qi was actually quite nervous!
He cursed the system in his mind: "This kind of situation should have been warned in advance?!"
system:
Geng Qi: "..."
He used to be afraid to interact with the female lead because he was afraid the male lead would kill him. Now that he's become the male lead, he's still afraid to interact with the female lead because he's afraid the male lead will be "killed"!
Although he wouldn't mind carrying out a thorough "silencing" now, he was afraid of upsetting the young girl's heart!
Silence spread among the three. Geng Qi looked at the expressionless face of the person beside him and involuntarily swallowed.
I wasn't scared, I was lured in!
He was already strikingly handsome, and with this serious expression, his watery eyes were like a bottomless pool, and his slightly pursed thin lips gave one the urge to pry them open.
How about we have the female lead leave and silence her first?
He turned around to speak when a shrill scream came from not far away, startling all three of them.
"Oh no! Run!"
Beauty really can be a trap; he almost forgot about Qinghan!
He didn't intentionally prioritize women over his friends!
My apologies!
While trying to justify himself in his mind, he pulled the person and ran in the direction from which the sound came.
Su Mo'er stared at their hands, which were almost intertwined, with a strange expression. If Rong Yu could see the light gradually brightening in her eyes, perhaps he would be less likely to be jealous in the future.
Before even getting close to the scene, a strong smell of blood could be smelled from afar. Geng Qi frowned slightly and quickened his pace, heading into a thicket of thorns. The lush greenery was now covered in blood.
The green thorns twining around the branches outline an exquisite cage; if a few roses were inserted, it would certainly be an indispensable decoration for a wedding venue.
But what's planted on this thicket isn't roses, but vibrant people!
They were alive because they still had a breath left. Warm blood was flowing from the pierced bodies along the ends of the thorns. Their pupils were dilated, and their mouths were also filled with blood. They could no longer utter a complete sentence!
The longsword was drawn, passing over the heads of the two men, and flew straight towards the thorns that were entangled with them, cutting them in half and saving the two men from the brink of death!
However, her attack also attracted the attention of the thorn vines, which turned their attention to the three of them and attacked them.
"This is the Blood Vine, a plant-like monster that feeds on blood and will wound its prey, causing them to bleed to death."
As Rong Yu introduced the situation, he raised his hand, and pure black thorns sprang up from the ground, intertwining with the thorn vines attacking from above. They passed through the area as if it were deserted, and arrived at the two people who had landed but were seriously injured.
He took out two pills from his storage bracelet and threw them into the mouths of the two men.
Geng Qi looked up and saw that the forest was covered with thorny vines. The only way out of the maze was to pass through this thorny forest. Judging from the blood and flesh stains on the thorny vines, even if someone escaped, they would probably be seriously injured.
"Find someone first."
Geng Qi looked around and followed a direction to find Qing Han. He and Scorpion were in the same 'maze', so even if they came out, they should be in the same place.
Thorns kept attacking them along the way, but even though they knew they were no match, they refused to give up. Su Mo'er followed behind the two, worried that the entangled thorns would attack them from behind after they left. But when she looked around, she was surprised to find that the vines entangled by the black thorns, like the corpses they trapped, had been drained of their life force and hung shriveled on the ground.
There was originally no path in this thorny thicket, but after they passed through, they paved a path with withered vines.
The black thorns gradually receded, only to reappear in front. The withered blood vines relentlessly launched their attack, enveloping everything in front like a cage. Just as they were about to strike, a low shout suddenly came from the dense forest ahead: "Withdraw!"
The withered blood vines, which had been radiating murderous intent, seemed to have received some kind of command and quickly shrank back.
The vines contracted, clearing a space in front. The deadly blood-sucking vines were gone, replaced by a patch of tender green grass.
