Nearby, Su Jiu noticed that when the girl called A Jing looked at the man, there seemed to be no love in her eyes. There was even a faint trace of contempt hidden within them.
As Su Jiu and Chu Luohen approached, the pair finally noticed their presence. That was hardly surprising. They were both in the Nascent Soul Realm and had deliberately concealed their auras. Neither had drawn attention to themselves, so it was only natural that they had gone unnoticed until now.
A Jing and Dali simply assumed that they had only just arrived.
"Are you two from the outside world as well?"
When A Jing saw Chu Luohen, her eyes all but glued themselves to him. Dali, too, was briefly stunned by the sudden appearance of these two exceptionally attractive people.
Chu Luohen ignored A Jing outright and instead asked Dali, "Is the true territory of the Wuyi Tribe beyond this Poison Valley?"
Dali came back to his senses, inwardly marveling at their looks, but did not forget to answer. "Yes. Beyond these Woods lies the Wuyi Tribe."
Undeterred by Chu Luohen's indifference, A Jing continued, "Are you two going to the Wuyi Tribe? I plan to enter in the next day or two. If you wish, you can come with me."
A thoughtful look crossed Su Jiu's face. A female cultivator merely in the Foundation Establishment Realm was confident she could cross Poison Valley? She must have something to rely on.
Chu Luohen glanced at the girl called A Jing, his brows drawing together slightly, and refused bluntly. "No need."
With that, he turned to leave.
A Jing hurried forward a couple of steps and planted herself directly in Chu Luohen's path, failing to notice the hint of dejection in Dali's eyes behind him.
