Mu Qihan cast a disdainful glance at the three of them, and his gaze fell on Feng Xiao and Feng Ji.
"If you two are still at this level, you're not qualified to stay by her side."
Feng Ji's face changed. He was about to say something, but was tugged by Feng Xiao, and swallowed the words that followed.
He shot Feng Xiao an indignant look, not understanding why he stopped him from speaking.
Feng Xiao was thinking more.
Although their master never said why she followed Mu Qihan, they more or less knew that the man in front of them was the one their master had been looking for.
But judging from the previous situation, this man didn't seem to remember their master for some reason. But now...
Thinking of this, Feng Xiao asked seriously, "Young Master Mu, do you remember our master?"
When Mu Qihan mentioned Nan Chaoyu, his expression softened, and his look towards Feng Xiao improved a lot.
He nodded.
Seeing him nod, Feng Xiao was a bit excited. "Young Master Mu, our master will surely be very happy."
"My memory and strength were sealed. This state won't last long. Xiaoyu fell into the Eye of Death. But I can feel that she's okay."
Mu Qihan reached out and stroked his chest.
Half of his blood was given to Xiaoyu. With the blood bond, this feeling couldn't be wrong.
Hearing that Nan Chaoyu was okay, Feng Xiao and Feng Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
But Xiao Tian was a bit unhappy. Didn't they see how embarrassed his young master was?
It must be that woman who caused this!
Since he followed the young master, he had never seen the young master like this for anyone.
Just as he was muttering to himself, he suddenly felt a cold look fall on him.
He was startled. He looked up suddenly and met Mu Qihan's deep eyes.
At this moment, Mu Qihan was looking at Xiao Tian expressionlessly, and his look carried a bit of unfamiliarity.
It made Xiao Tian shiver involuntarily.
Although the young master was usually cold, he had never looked at him like this.
After just one glance, Mu Qihan shifted his gaze and said coldly, "From now on, you don't need to follow me. After we leave this secret realm, you can go back. If Father asks, I'll explain it to him myself."
"Young Master!" Xiao Tian panicked.
It was a great honor to be able to follow the young master. If he was driven back by the young master, he would surely be laughed at.
Moreover, although the young master looked cold, he was kind to him and usually indulged him a lot.
Now the young master was driving him back directly. It must be because of that so - called princess.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian's expression distorted. "Young Master, your subordinate has made no mistake. I'm not convinced that you're driving me away!"
"When did it become your turn to question my decisions?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tian's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that his young master would say such a thing to him.
"Young Master..." Xiao Tian didn't expect Mu Qihan to be so heartless. His words blocked all the words Xiao Tian wanted to say, without any mercy.
Feng Xiao and Feng Ji exchanged a look, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
But thinking that this man in front of them was the one their master had been longing for, and his doing so was to protect their master, it was worth their master's affection.
At this time, the water around them was calm, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafted in the wind. Mu Qihan's face became solemn.
He turned back and ordered the three of them, "You two take him out. I'll go pick the flower."
After saying that, without waiting for the three to reply, he flashed and disappeared.
The three of them were left standing there, stunned.
Even Xiao Tian didn't understand when his young master had become so powerful.
On the other side, Nan Chaoyu took Xie Zhenming's Soul - Devouring Palm and fell into the Spirit Lake.
As soon as she entered the water, she noticed something was wrong.
The spiritual energy in the lake seemed to rush towards her crazily.
It quickly repaired the injuries she had suffered from the Soul - Devouring Palm, and showed no sign of stopping.
Compared with this spiritual energy, her internal energy had no resistance at all. She could only let the spiritual energy rush in and fill her dantian.
Soon, after her dantian was full, the spiritual energy entered her flesh and blood.
At first, Nan Chaoyu felt nothing, but then she felt as if her whole body was about to explode.
Now she understood why Mu Qihan said there was something strange about this lake.
It was simply evil!
This body hadn't gone through body - forging training. Now she was just a senior cultivator and couldn't bear such powerful spiritual energy at all.
Just when Nan Chaoyu thought she was going to explode, suddenly a whirlpool swept over and dragged her down.
In an instant, she reached the bottom of the lake.
"Bang!" She hit the ground.
"Um~" The strong impact made her body, which had just been tortured by the spiritual energy, even worse. She couldn't help but groan.
"I've waited for over a thousand years, but unexpectedly, I've waited for such a thing."
"..." Nan Chaoyu, who was called a thing, scrambled up from the ground on all fours, sat up straight, and looked around.
But she didn't see anyone.
However, she suddenly found that the spiritual energy around had disappeared.
But where was this place?
Nan Chaoyu sat up straight and shouted, "Who's talking? Stop hiding!"
"Rude little girl."
The voice was far and near, lingering around Nan Chaoyu.
Nan Chaoyu was startled, because she found that she couldn't find where the person was.
But her panic only lasted for a moment. Anyway, it was better to be here than to be inflated to death by the spiritual energy outside.
Since she was here, she'd better accept it!
"Little girl, you're quite brave." As the words were spoken, a ripple flashed in front of Nan Chaoyu, and a man in a bright silver robe walked out.
Strangely enough, this man had horns on his head.
Seeing Nan Chaoyu sizing him up directly, the man showed a smile and asked, "You dare to look directly at me!"
Nan Chaoyu frowned. "Didn't you come out for me to look at? If you didn't want me to look, why did you come out?"
"..." It made so much sense that he couldn't refute.
But just because he couldn't refute didn't mean he would let a little girl talk back to him.
Immediately, he released all his momentum and pressed towards Nan Chaoyu.
When the man's spiritual energy fluctuated, Nan Chaoyu felt something was wrong.
She felt a bit regretful in her heart.
She had said she should be able to yield and strive, so why was her mouth so sharp!
But to everyone's surprise, when the man's coercion rushed over, it didn't cause the slightest pressure on Nan Chaoyu.
Instead, she felt a bit of familiarity.
The man on the opposite side was also stunned.
He had no descendants here! Why did he feel a strange sense of familiarity from this little girl in front of him?
But this feeling was very faint and disappeared in a flash.
Seeing that the man's coercion didn't hurt her, Nan Chaoyu's rebellious spirit stirred. She shouted, "Do you have any shame? You're relying on your age and strength. You can't win the argument with me, so you want to fight."
"..."
Whose little brat was this? Could he just beat her to death?
This man probably didn't know that Nan Chaoyu had been practicing in the mainland for three years and had contacted all kinds of people.
Although she was now the Grand Princess, in her bones, she was still that wild girl who wanted to fight at the slightest disagreement.
Of course, it was also okay to argue when she couldn't win the fight.
