Encounter

Then they went.

The situation is not very optimistic.

Upon seeing these people, Master's annoyance was practically written all over his face.

However, Master's aura seemed to have weakened, perhaps due to some unknown experience.

Originally, as agreed, it was Mo Gen who was supposed to say the good things this time.

After all, Mo Gen had been with the sect the longest and had never left. Before Qin Jiuxiao arrived, he was also the one most cared for by the master.

But for some reason, he felt a sense of unease.

He refused to believe that his master could suddenly change.

After all, some things, when left unseen, cannot be hidden.

He made a decisive decision at that moment.

He tried again.

He was a man of action; he would only say one thing to Mo Gen and the other two, and then he would do it.

Of course, he didn't say it directly on the surface.

After all, some words and some ways of speaking are only meant to add a little fun in private.

Actually, he didn't say anything.

In such a situation, the most appropriate approach is to get straight to the point.

He knows all of this.

Therefore, he chose to use the method of awakening his master's inner self.

He directly used the affectionate nickname that the two of them often used together, a nickname that would greatly excite his master—"Little slut."

Knowing his master as he did, he was absolutely certain he could make his master unable to maintain his angry facade.

In the past, there were seven face-to-face teaching sessions between master and disciple throughout the twelve-hour period. Now, everyone around him believes it, but does he really believe that once this desire is aroused, it can be easily suppressed?

Furthermore, it was an unexpected delight; he even felt a surge of excitement as he said it.

The physical body regained the hardness it had when the Holy Water was poured that day.

However, at the same time, the master could no longer keep up the act.

It was as if it had suddenly exploded.

Aside from saying "You're asking for it," he didn't say anything else and immediately started attacking.

Even with the experience from last time, and a quicker reaction this time, he was still blasted away.

Fortunately, his physical body had already become stronger by the critical moment, and his master's power did not seem as terrifying as it had been last time.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have exploded on the spot, just like the other two senior brothers.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Mo was still reliable; at the crucial moment, he blocked Master's attack and led me to escape.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it really would be...

Recalling everything that had happened, Qin Jiuxiao painfully closed his eyes a few times.

I never expected that after relying on my master for so long, he would become unreliable.

A street in the city.

Luo Zhen was walking down the street, his face showing a mixture of helplessness and sorrow.

The Holy Water didn't change him at all; it seemed as if he simply didn't have that kind of luck.

The only thing worth mentioning is the few people who traveled with me; they all carried quite a few nice things.

But that's nothing compared to the fact that they encountered danger on both the way there and back, and their luck was truly terrible.

If I hadn't been quick-witted, I probably would have gotten myself into a lot of trouble because of this.

"But what happens next..."

While thinking to himself, Luo Zhen also looked around.

In this vast and desolate world, where is my place...?

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Luo Zhen's expression shifted slightly.

He saw a familiar figure.

It's him!

Luo Zhen's eyes narrowed, and he quickly stepped forward to approach the other party.

He had guessed about this figure before, but lacked the opportunity to get close.

Now, unexpectedly, we've run into each other again, so I'll take this opportunity to verify my guess.

If my guess is correct, perhaps I can establish a connection with the other party and gain some benefits.

The other person seemed to notice Luo Zhen's approach, slowed their pace, and turned to look.

At this moment, Luo Zhen said:

"Are you also from Land of the Four Directions?"

Upon hearing this, the man's expression shifted, and he nodded, but did not speak. Then, as if he had lost interest, he turned his head away.

At this moment, Luo Zhen quickly added:

"Judging from the location of the Holy Water in the Southeastern Sea Region of the previous shrine, do you have a grudge against Qin Jiuxiao?"

As the voice faded, the figure stopped turning his head and stared at Luo Zhen:

"You know him?"

Seeing the other party's reaction, Luo Zhen was secretly pleased.

Sure enough, it was just as he had guessed.

At that moment, he made a gesture, indicating to the restaurant next door, and said:

"If you are interested in him, why don't we have a talk?"

"Let's go." The figure nodded.

The two then entered the restaurant together.

Qin Han was very excited at that moment.

It wasn't just because of his performance at the Holy Water that he gained widespread recognition and received numerous offers of assistance.

It's not just because they are recognized and worshipped by many people.

Furthermore, it's because right now, this fellow villager from Land of the Four Directions that I have no interest in happens to know Qin Jiuxiao.

The first step to advancing in one's cultivation level is to take up one's sword and slay old enemies!

Unfortunately, the other party reacted quickly and escaped before I even realized what was happening, even though the Holy Water had been there.

Finding someone in the vast sea of people is not easy; it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

He wasn't really hoping for much at the moment.

Unexpectedly, news has suddenly emerged again.

Immediately after taking his seat, Qin Han got straight to the point:

Do you know where he is?

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhen gently shook his head:

I don't know right now.

Just as Qin Han's expression was about to change, Luo Zhen turned and said:

"However, I have a way to find out."

Qin Han gave Luo Zhen a deep look and said:

What is your relationship with Qin Jiuxiao?

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhen smiled:

"Back then, we were both prospective holy sons of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, and in terms of the Holy Land's attention to us, I was even a step ahead of him."

"Both are quasi-saints?" Qin Han's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at Luo Zhen.

"So, you two have a pretty good relationship?"

Qin Han's words startled Luo Zhen slightly, who then said:

"You must have always preferred freedom and to be alone, right?"

In any major power, for important positions involving advancement, the competition is fierce, with all candidates being potential saints. He was somewhat puzzled as to how the other party came to the conclusion that they had a good relationship.

However, he didn't pay attention to these things and instead said:

"Qin Jiuxiao and I have had some conflicts, but the most recent one was when he tried to ambush me from the shadows. Luckily, I had an inside man who left beforehand, otherwise I might have been killed by him."

After a pause, Luo Zhen added:

"However, he must hate me to the core now and would definitely kill me."

Luo Zhen's words clearly piqued Qin Han's interest.

Why?

Luo Zhen revealed a cold smile and said:

I slept with his woman.

"Qin Jiuxiao is extremely possessive. He controlled and trained that woman very well, which benefited me. He would never tolerate such a thing."

Qin Han's brows furrowed for no apparent reason.

He felt that something was off.

At this moment, Hua Yunfan suddenly uttered a sentence from within the ring:

"Both of you have slept with that Qin Jiuxiao's woman; maybe you even slept with the same one."
