Having failed to complete the task assigned by Yan Shuai, now--
Before he could finish his thought, what happened next caused his brain to momentarily freeze, and even the hand that was raising the knife stopped for a moment.
Dumbly, he watched as Jiang Fan was carried out unharmed, wrapped in a peach branch.
No, not only was he completely unharmed, but his face also looked radiant, and he was in excellent spirits.
What Wei Jiu didn't know was that Jiang Fan's excellent condition was thanks to those three peaches.
Although he didn't eat it, or even lick it, the peach's miraculous medicinal effects meant that just smelling it relieved all his fatigue.
"That guy didn't kill you?"
It took Wei Jiu a long time to finally squeeze out those words.
Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow slightly. "What? Are you disappointed that I'm still alive?"
Despite Wei Jiu's relentless efforts to save him, it cannot undo what Wei Jiu had done to him in the past.
Moreover, he knew that Wei Jiu must have been ordered by Yan Tianyang to protect him so reluctantly.
That's right, it's all about being unwilling and reluctant.
He could sense this from Wei Jiu.
Moreover, he is Spirit Master, whose senses are far more acute than those of ordinary people.
To be honest, he couldn't understand why Yan Tianyang specifically sent Wei Jiu to protect him. He knew perfectly well about the conflict between himself and Wei Jiu.
Sensing Jiang Fan's rejection and hostility, Wei Jiu's already cold expression became even colder.
Like Jiang Fan, he couldn't understand why Yan Shuai had assigned him this kind of task.
Wei San told him to make the most of this opportunity to redeem himself.
He would certainly be willing to atone for his sins, but he would never, ever, undertake such a task.
If he could, he would be willing to spend his entire life hunting monsters in the Outer Wilderness Zone, only to be devoured by them in the end.
What he found most unacceptable was that Wei San actually told him that Yan Shuai had taken a liking to this kid and intended to have him succeed him as the commander of the Divine Wind Camp.
Yes! He admitted that Jiang Fan's talent was indeed amazing, something he had almost never seen before in his life.
But! In his view, Jiang Fan was too arrogant, extremely selfish, cunning, greedy, shameless, and vindictive.
Especially the last point, he couldn't accept it at all, not even a little bit.
The Li Family family had only had a minor conflict with him, but he managed to eliminate Li Family father and son.
As for the old patriarch of the Li Family, he believed that as long as Jiang Fan's strength increased, the old man would probably not escape Jiang Fan's revenge.
Isn't this just being vindictive?
Aside from ability, in every aspect, he is One Star inferior to Ye Qizhen.
Besides, Jiang Fan's rapid growth in strength might only be at this stage; he might be left far behind by Ye Qizhen in the future.
That's right! It will definitely happen that way.
A person with poor character is destined not to go far.
After calming down, Wei Jiu forcibly suppressed his emotions and said with a cold face:
Why didn't that guy kill you?
"Maybe it's because I'm handsome," Jiang Fan replied expressionlessly.
Wei Jiu "..."
He really wanted to complain, "Can you please stop being so narcissistic?"
But after seeing Jiang Fan's undeniably handsome face, they were speechless for a moment.
A few seconds later, Wei Jiu turned around, looked down at where Peach Fruit Old Man was, and said coldly:
"Forget it, since you're alright, that guy's lucky to be alive. Otherwise, I would have definitely uprooted it, chopped it into sticks, and taken it back to use as firewood!"
"You can't beat him, can you?" Jiang Fan bluntly stated the truth.
"Hmph!" Wei Jiu sneered, "You think I can't beat him? It's just that in a dangerous place like the Outer Wilderness Zone, I don't want to lower myself to his level. Besides, considering that person's status—"
At this point, Wei Jiu stopped talking, clearly not wanting to reveal more to Jiang Fan.
But he didn't know that Jiang Fan already knew what he was trying to hide.
"Is that so?" Jiang Fan's lips curled into a smirk as he mischievously looked in the direction where Peach Fruit Old Man was.
"So that guy can't even beat you."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless peach tree branches seemed to explode, spreading rapidly upwards and forming sharp cones that pierced towards Wei Jiu with lightning speed.
Upon seeing this, Wei Jiu's pupils suddenly contracted. He grabbed Jiang Fan's clothes, pushed off with his feet, and his whole body seemed to transform into a shooting star.
With a "whoosh," it shot off.
That speed!
It was even faster than when Peach Fruit Old Man had dragged him along.
His face was puffed up by the wind, and his hair was all over the place.
Jiang Fan mentally ranted and raved.
They both criticize Wei Jiu for being hypocritical and for his pretentious behavior, saying he was struck by lightning.
He also complained about his own sharp tongue, saying that now he's been dragged into this mess and his skin is practically peeling off.
Of course, he hadn't expected that Peach Fruit Old Man would be so understanding and cooperative with him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Was Peach Fruit Old Man cooperating with him? No, he was cooperating with that person, only he thought he was that person.
A moment later.
After concealing his face, Jiang Fan reunited with the anxiously waiting Sharp Edge Squad.
"How are you? Are you hurt?"
Wei Cangyue stepped forward, asking questions while looking Jiang Fan up and down.
He was then surprised to find that Jiang Fan was not only unharmed, but also had a rosy complexion and was full of energy.
This scene made him question the meaning of life.
Those who knew him would think Jiang Fan had been captured and torn to pieces; those who didn't would think he had done something to boost his yang energy.
"As you can see now, there is no sign of injury," Jiang Fan replied.
At this moment, Wei Jiu's icy voice rang out.
"I have to go now."
After saying that, without giving Jiang Fan Jiang Fan a chance to speak or even a second glance, he vanished from the spot.
Therefore, it is clear that Jiang Fan's previous description was quite accurate.
... reluctantly.
Jiang Fan didn't care too much. People with different values can't work together. Wei Jiu didn't like him, and so did he.
"Hiss--"
Bu Yingjun stared in the direction where Wei Jiu had disappeared, took a deep breath, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"The dignified Commander Wei Jiu has actually become a bodyguard."
They were stunned when Wei Jiu appeared.
But after calming down, and considering that Jiang Fan Advanced Psychic, it makes sense.
They quickly guessed that Wei Jiu's appearance was not accidental, but rather that he had been secretly protecting Jiang Fan all along.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes gleamed as they looked at Jiang Fan, making Jiang Fan instantly break out in goosebumps.
" Little Tang!" Bu Yingjun suddenly called out, his expression more serious than ever before.
Jiang Fan looked up at him once again, giving him goosebumps all over his body. Not only goosebumps, but even the hairs on his body stood on end.
You should know that the person staring at him wasn't some beautiful girl next door, but a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he wasn't tall, he still had thick eyebrows and big eyes.
No, no, no, even if he's not tall and has delicate features, he still can't accept it.
