Feng Yuqin listened to everyone's words and smiled. "Your strength has improved a lot."
Dongfang Zhi said, "You entrusted them to me. It seems I haven't let you down."
"I just hope they'll be safe. After all, I brought them in. I don't want anything to happen to you guys," Feng Yuqin said. It was also her responsibility.
"We'll be fine. We can leave this secret realm tomorrow," Dongfang Zhi said.
Mo Xuanye gave him a cold look. "Don't be too happy too soon."
Both Feng Yuqin and Dongfang Zhi were taken aback.
"Do you know something?" Feng Yuqin looked at him and asked.
"When we were gathering spiritual energy this time, it was originally related to you. But since they were also cultivating nearby, they're involved too," Mo Xuanye said.
Feng Yuqin was smart. She understood immediately after hearing this. "Someone has set a trap for us, right?"
"Li Muchuan is taking the lead. After all, he's the most outstanding alchemist in the Alchemy Guild. It's normal for him to have some treasures in his hands," Mo Xuanye paused for a moment and then said, "It's a small problem for us."
Dongfang Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth. "You mean Li Muchuan's trap can't harm you two, but it can harm us?"
Mo Xuanye didn't confirm or deny. Dongfang Zhi felt even more depressed. "What kind of monster are you? When we first met, our strengths were about the same. How come you've left me far behind now?"
Otherwise, those traps wouldn't be able to hurt him.
"I'm just born like this. You can be jealous," Mo Xuanye said sarcastically.
Dongfang Zhi: "..."
Yan Xiao and the others: "..."
Mo Xuanye used to be rather aloof.
Although they'd seen him before, they also knew that Mo Xuanye's heart was all on Feng Yuqin.
But now seeing him bickering with Dongfang Zhi like this, they found it quite interesting. They even forgot about the traps Li Muchuan had set for them.
Maybe it was because Mo Xuanye and Feng Yuqin looked so calm that it influenced them, making them think it wasn't a big problem.
"What traps did Li Muchuan and the others set?" Feng Yuqin looked at Mo Xuanye and asked.
She knew that since Mo Xuanye said so, it meant he knew.
"What kind of traps do you think there could be in this secret realm now?" Mo Xuanye looked at Feng Yuqin, a doting smile curving his lips.
Seeing the different treatment Mo Xuanye gave to others and Feng Yuqin, they understood that only Feng Yuqin had walked into his heart. Others didn't matter.
Mo Xuanye was such a powerful person and also the young master of the White Flame Sect. His care for Feng Yuqin made them all happy for her.
A trace of envy flashed across Ye Ying and Ke Ruxia's eyes.
To be so highly regarded by someone, they all thought it was a great blessing.
Feng Yuqin thought for a while and said, "Demonic beasts?"
Yan Geng said, "Aqin, we've dealt with quite a few demonic beasts before. We'll be fine."
Mo Xuanye gave Yan Geng a disdainful look, as if looking at an idiot.
Yan Geng instantly felt really bad.
The others originally had the same thought as Yan Geng, but after seeing Mo Xuanye's look, they felt there must be something more to it.
Dongfang Zhi was quick - witted. He immediately asked, "Did he attract all the demonic beasts in this secret realm?"
Mo Xuanye glanced at Dongfang Zhi. "You're not completely hopeless."
Mo Xuanye said it casually, but everyone else felt really bad.
Xia Hao's voice trembled a little. "All... all the demonic beasts in the secret realm... Isn't this too terrifying?"
The secret realm was so big. How many demonic beasts would there be?
"This is Li Muchuan's scheme," Mo Xuanye said indifferently and then fell silent.
Actually, he didn't really care about the lives and deaths of these people.
It was just because Qin'er was worried about their safety, and he didn't want Qin'er to be unhappy, so he told them about it.
Feng Yuqin quickly understood. She said to everyone, "Li Muchuan is widely recognized as a genius alchemist in Tiancheng. It's normal for him to have treasures in his hands, and it's even more normal for him to have something that can attract demonic beasts."
"Isn't he worried that the attracted demonic beasts will also harm him?" Dongfang Zhi asked doubtfully.
After all, not all the demonic beasts here had developed intelligence. What if he was attacked?
"When did your IQ drop?" Mo Xuanye said another extremely sarcastic sentence.
Dongfang Zhi: "..."
This bastard. Was he addicted to teasing him?
Yan Xiao said, "Li Muchuan is rather insidious. So he should be fine, but we don't know about the others."
Yan Xiao had competed with Feng Yuqin in Tiancheng, so he knew something about Li Muchuan.
A person like Li Muchuan could incite many people to target them.
"Master attracted all the spiritual energy this time. Besides Li Muchuan, the others must be resentful too," Su Bing said. "So he took advantage of this."
"Li Muchuan will arouse the resentment in these people's hearts," Ye Xianyu also spoke up.
Ye Ying added beside him, "Once these people are resentful, they'll do whatever Li Muchuan tells them to do."
"You're mostly from Tiancheng. Aren't you worried?" Yan Geng joked, looking at Ye Xianyu and his sister.
Ye Xianyu said indifferently, "We're just members of the General Guild, not the city - lord of Tiancheng. What does their life and death matter to us?"
Due to the poison he'd been suffering from for so many years, Ye Xianyu had seen the warmth and coldness of the world. So his character was also a bit cold - hearted.
He was comparable to Mo Xuanye.
He didn't care about the lives and deaths of these people at all.
Moreover, he was very clear - headed. If it weren't for Feng Yuqin's spiritual pet protecting them, those people from Tiancheng would have tried to snatch their hard - won results.
So, it was already good that he didn't directly take action against these people. How could he care about their lives and deaths? It was a joke.
"Do you know which demonic beasts are coming?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"You can try using your spiritual sense," Mo Xuanye said. "Haven't you noticed that your spiritual sense has become many times stronger than before?"
The stronger the spiritual sense, the farther the detection distance and the clearer everything around would be.
"You even know that my spiritual sense has become stronger?" Feng Yuqin said.
She hadn't even mentioned it.
Mo Xuanye gave a doting smile, his voice a bit charming. "How could I not care about Qin'er's matters?"
Dongfang Zhi let out a wail. "What did we do wrong to be tortured like this?"
"I should also find a woman, or I'll be tortured again next time," Yan Geng nodded seriously.
"Do you think a woman will like you if you're so silly?" Dongfang Zhi said impatiently.
Yan Geng: "..." Were these people's mouths poisoned?
