Before he had taken two steps, the disciples around him started to complain about the black grass.
"That's scary. Keep your voice down. She might fight you to death!"
"I heard she's a crazy woman. I walked by her before and she stinks. Judging from her appearance, has she never taken a bath?"
"Stop talking, it's disgusting, stay away from her."
There are always people who think that others can't hear what they say behind their backs. Ye Xinhai could hear it clearly even though he was only one meter away from Wucao, so Wucao himself must have heard it as well.
As Ye Xinhai knew Wucao, Wucao turned a deaf ear to these harsh voices.
This mysterious and persistent senior sister seemed to live in her own world. Since Ye Xinhai came to Wufeng Mountain, he had not been able to talk to her once.
After Ye Xinhai got up and had breakfast, Wu Cao was already sitting in the alchemy room refining the elixir. When Ye Xinhai went back to his room to rest, she was still refining the elixir. In his impression, her life was so monotonous and boring.
Occasionally, I heard Song Qingxue mention that Wu Cao had been learning alchemy from a master at Wufeng Mountain when he was ten years old. At the beginning, he learned some basic methods of making elixirs. After mastering the basics, he has been studying something.
What puzzled Ye Xinhai was that Song Qingxue did not try to stop her too much, as if she had tacitly approved her free actions a long time ago.
What a strange person.
"Senior sister, I also want to go down the mountain to collect herbs...but this is my first time going down the mountain, can you go with me?" Whether it was out of curiosity or overflowing sympathy, Ye Xinhai took the initiative to talk to the senior sister who accompanied him day and night for the first time.
I thought she would ignore me, but Wu Cao nodded, got the entry and exit permit, and left the meeting hall directly.
The consequence of the conversation was that Ye Xinhai became the second subject of discussion among the disciples, and everyone generously labeled him as dirty, filthy, and having strange behavior.
Ye Xinhai himself was not as focused as Wucao. The harsh words and strange looks made him feel uncomfortable all over, and he quickly chased Wucao out of the meeting room.
"It's just like talking to that classmate who was bullied in class and then getting bullied too... Such evil things will happen no matter which world it is in." Ye Xinhai complained.
The strange combination shuttled through the mountain paths. The two of them always kept a distance of about one and a half meters apart, one in front and one behind, and no one spoke.
The weather is very good today and it is midsummer. The sun shines through the dense woods onto the gravel road. For Ye Xinhai, who has never gone down the mountain since he began his practice, the annoying cicada chirping sounds a little more pleasant to his ears.
The destination of this trip is a high mountain not far from Lingyun Sect. Because the mountain streams are surrounded by spiritual energy, most of the treasures that can be used as medicine and elixir are gathered in the mountains.
It is said that in order to ensure the safety of the disciples who were picking herbs, the elders once personally surveyed several mountains near Lingyun Sect, and only after confirming that it was absolutely safe did they order the disciples to pick herbs freely.
Perhaps it was intentional, Ye Xinhai always felt that coming out to pick herbs was more like Song Qingxue giving him a short vacation so that he could get out and relax. The fatigue of staying in the mountains all day to refine pills disappeared today.
"No wonder some people love traveling. The beautiful scenery can really relieve fatigue…" Ye Xinhai sighed, but unfortunately no one around him agreed with him.
He came here to get some fresh air, but Wucao came here to collect herbs.
Ye Xinhai, who was immersed in the beautiful scenery, came to his senses and realized that he had lost Wu Cao. He shouted his senior sister's name several times, but the only response he got was the damn cicada's chirping.
"No way, how can Senior Sister walk so fast? My legs are hurting from walking, but she doesn't feel anything at all?"
After taking out the map and carefully comparing the routes, Ye Xinhai could only hope to meet up with his senior sister at roughly the same destination.
After giving up the idea of following Wu Cao closely, our Passerby A admired the beautiful mountain scenery even more wantonly, jumping and dancing happily, as if the guy who just complained about leg pain was not himself.
Suddenly, Ye Xinhai, who was walking to the edge of the cliff to see the beautiful waterfall, stopped...
Not far ahead, two wolves, one gray and one white, were confronting each other in a tense situation.
"How could there be wolves in this place!" Ye Xinhai roared in his heart. In all these years, no disciple who went to collect herbs had ever encountered a wolf, but he happened to win the jackpot when he came here.
It seems that he has been unlucky since he offended Wang Luzhen on the first day of the competition. When he has time, he must ask someone to tell his fortune to see if he is in conflict with the lucky year this year.
While Passerby A was still worrying about his bad luck, the two wolves that had been confronting each other for a long time launched an attack.
The gray wolf was obviously larger in size, and had an absolute advantage in strength and speed. It took the lead in launching the attack and knocked the white wolf to the ground in one fell swoop. After the white wolf's roar, a deep blood mark appeared on its neck.
The white wolf did not sit there and wait for death. When the other wolf pounced on it, it seized the opportunity and bit off a piece of meat from the gray wolf's chest.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the two wolves separated again and entered the confrontation stage again, looking for each other's flaws.
Unfortunately, the white wolf was injured in a vital part. The gushing blood dyed half of its snow-white fur red, and its body began to shake.
After the gray wolf howled in victory in advance, it actually took a few steps back and chose to wait for the other party to die.
"Are all the animals in Haoran's New Territory so smart? It seems that the white one is doomed to die. In order to ensure its own safety, the gray one will no longer attack..." Ye Xinhai, who had hidden behind a tree early, observed the situation. He had only seen such beasts fighting to the death in the animal world before. His curiosity outweighed his fear, so he stayed here to watch the fight.
"Awoo..." The white wolf let out a miserable howl, his eyes filled with despair and sadness.
Just when Ye Xinhai thought that the battle would end like this, the gray wolf seemed to sense something and rushed towards the cliff not far away with all its might.
The white wolf also bit the gray wolf's left hind leg desperately and refused to let go, as if it was protecting something.
Ye Xinhai was so frightened that he was stunned, because he was standing right where the gray wolf was rushing towards him. He thought he was exposed and tried to escape by crawling.
He had only run a few steps and passed by a big tree when a ball of white fur suddenly roared at him, frightening Ye Xinhai so much that his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.
"Woo… woo…"
When he looked closely, he discovered that the ball of white fur was actually a wolf cub, which looked exactly like the white wolf.
"Ah, so that guy was coming for you!" Ye Xinhai suddenly realized, and then he was amused by his own cowardice.
"Hiss…hiss…"
When the little guy saw the big guy in front of him laughing at him for no reason, he immediately got angry and warned the uninvited guest in his childish voice.
After laughing twice, Ye Xinhai finally realized that being with this little guy would be equivalent to exposing his position.
I immediately stood up and was about to leave, but I was still a few seconds late...
The gray wolf that was dragging the white wolf's body was already standing less than five meters away from him, staring at him viciously.
