What could I say? I could only admit that my cultivation was still insufficient.
The girl behind me looked extremely ugly, with a somewhat gloomy look in her eyes. I could feel her scorching gaze on my back without even turning around.
I turned my head slightly towards the back and happened to meet Yan Yan's smile. I was stunned for a moment and then awkwardly turned my head back.
His smile was really quite interesting. I couldn't help but turn back to look at him, and a sound that made my own skin crawl came out of my throat.
"Who are you? I feel like I've seen this girl somewhere before, but I can't quite remember who she is for the moment."
"You really have the nerve to ask?"
The girl curled up a smile and turned away. Looking at her back facing me, I suddenly froze.
At this moment, I finally remembered where I had seen her before. It turned out that she looked so much like Hua Lian'er.
I thought of that person and turned to Yan Yan. "What's going on? Is it what I'm thinking?"
Yan Yan nodded. "She used to be one of our clan members, but she betrayed us later."
"Betrayed you? Isn't the real betrayer..."
Suddenly, I realized something was wrong. Looking at the other person, I carefully asked, "How are you doing now?"
After all, Yan Yan used to be the Holy Son of the clan. Now that he had left there, it made people feel a bit uncomfortable.
My cautious look made the other person couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry. I'm fine."
Yan Yan suddenly reached out and stroked my head. He took out my phone from my hand and flipped to a photo.
I hadn't even recovered from the fact that he had touched my head when I saw the smiling look in his eyes as he looked at me.
"Take a look at what this is."
I stared into his eyes, a bit dazed. The next second, I was immediately attracted by the thing on his hand.
"What is this?"
I swallowed hard, staring at the thing in his hand. A question mark flashed through my mind.
The next second, I saw the true appearance of that thing clearly. It was a bronze carving of a horse.
"Didn't we agree before to look for these things? Each of these things is worth ten points. Collecting them will be of great help to you. And I know where this thing is."
Yan Yan's words immediately dispelled my doubts.
"Do you mean...?"
"Right."
Yan Yan nodded. "I know where it is."
I swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "What do you mean? You know where it is. Is it really what I'm thinking?"
I looked at the object in the photo again and suddenly remembered that I seemed to have seen this thing somewhere.
No way!
I swallowed hard and squeezed out a few words through my teeth. "You don't mean to let me go there, do you?"
I tentatively asked, "Are you joking?"
Whether this guy was really joking or not, anyway, I wasn't going. I'd rather die than go.
I had seen this thing in a place before. It was Yan Yan's clan. I didn't find anything wrong with it at all. Instead, I wasn't at all surprised that he could come up with such a crazy idea.
I swallowed hard, took two steps back, and turned around without looking back. Yan Yan's eyes turned gloomy behind me. He directly reached out and grabbed me, grabbed my collar, and dragged me inside.
"You have to go with me. This thing is very important to you. There's something in there that you must get."
I stared at him curiously, thinking to myself that I didn't even know what I had to get. How did he know?
When Yan Yan turned to leave, his movement suddenly froze. He looked back at me, with a smile in his eyes.
"Anyway, you'll know later."
I looked at his back, stroked my chin, and suddenly my eyes lit up.
"What are you doing?" A voice came from behind.
I stiffly turned my head and smiled at him. "Let's just forget about this, okay?"
The other person sneered. "Forget about it? Don't even think about it. You have to go with me anyway."
"Why do you have to make me go there?"
I roared angrily. After roaring, I immediately forced a smile. "Don't blame me for getting angry. I'm really having a headache. Your clan's place once wanted to cut me to pieces alive. Do you think I have any reason to go back there?"
The other person smiled so happily at me and coldly spat out a few words. "It's very necessary."
I stared into his eyes and helplessly shook my head. "You have the final say. You have the final say in everything. Is that okay?"
I turned around and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, my movement suddenly froze.
"What's that?"
There, not far ahead, a figure was just standing still.
"Don't you understand? Although he has betrayed his former family, if he gets the chance, he will surely make you pay the corresponding price."
But I didn't understand. This girl and I were strangers. Why did she treat me like this?
The girl standing in front was very angry, looking at me with hatred in her eyes. I thought and thought but couldn't remember ever offending her.
God knows when I had offended her. The girl's eyes were full of hatred. I looked left and right, and suddenly my movement froze.
I embarrassedly looked back at the guy behind me and squeezed out a few words through my teeth. "It can't be what I'm thinking, can it?"
Yan Yan nodded and smilingly spat out a few words. "Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking."
Instantly, my face turned bitter. Being reserved and flirtatious was really scary. This guy must have inherited the essence of it and fully exerted this characteristic to the extreme.
"Just tell me what I've done wrong."
I sighed with a headache and turned around to retreat.
"What are you doing?"
Someone beside me grabbed me. I turned my head and met Xu Yang's eyes. Xu Yang was also looking at me seriously. "We should leave soon."
"What do you mean? I don't quite understand."
Xu Yang shook his head at me. "You don't understand. Anyway, if we don't leave now, we won't have a chance. See that woman? We really miscalculated this time. We originally thought this matter was over, but unexpectedly, there are also that guy's people here."
"Didn't she already betray you? What's going on?"
Xu Yang didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the man beside him. "You understand what I mean, right?"
Yan Yan nodded. For the first time, the two of them were so in sync. They glanced at each other and turned to leave. My movement suddenly froze behind them.
I embarrassedly smiled. "Hey, don't be like this. I want to retreat, but..." My movement of turning around immediately paused slightly.
Wait a minute. I stiffly looked at the place behind me, with a look of solemnity in my eyes.
