Xue Fuyao looked at Zhao Sheng, who had been following her for a while, and turned to ask, somewhat speechless, "Why are you following me instead of looking for opportunities?"
At her words, Zhao Sheng looked up at the sky and down at the ground, saying rather guiltily, "Who says I'm not looking for opportunities? I just happen to be going the same way as you."
Xue Fuyao gave two cold chuckles, then circulated her spiritual power and darted off in another direction.
Zhao Sheng's eyes widened at the sight. Then he activated his cultivation method and followed her. When he found that his speed could not quite keep up, he even used an acceleration talisman.
After running for a while, Xue Fuyao saw that she still had not shaken off the person behind her. If she had not sensed no killing intent from him, she would have thought he was deliberately trying to provoke her.
"What exactly do you want?!" Xue Fuyao drew Shattered Star, pointing its tip straight at Zhao Sheng as he caught up.
Zhao Sheng chuckled sheepishly at the sight and said, "Well, are you really just Venerable Spiritwood's disciple, and not his daughter or something...?"
His voice grew quieter toward the end, because he noticed that Xue Fuyao's gaze was becoming increasingly hostile.
"Bastard! How dare you slander my master! I'll kill you!"
With that, Xue Fuyao raised her sword and slashed at Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng dodged her blade while explaining, "Sorry, sorry! I was just curious! Venerable Spiritwood hasn't taken any disciples all these years, and now he suddenly takes one, a little girl who isn't even ten at that. Anyone would have their suspicions, wouldn't they? Besides, you have a wood spiritual root, just like Venerable Spiritwood."
That only made Xue Fuyao
