The group of three were obviously Xue Yong, Xue Wen, and Jiang You; they were the ones that Ye Xin and Gai Luo encountered in the wilderness near their village.
They tried to steal Gai Luo's boars and even tried to kill Ye Xin and Gai Luo. At that time, Ye Xin let them go only after they gave him gold coins.
"If we can find Luo Xiaoli, our team would be enough to collect a lot of merit points, and at that time we can get into Heihui Sect." Xue Yong said and looked at the detection stone in his hand; he wondered how he could find Luo Xiaoli fast.
"Boss, we will find her; don't worry." Jiang You suddenly said with a determined expression on his face.
Xue Yong looked at him, and a smile formed on his face. "Jiang You, tell me you like her, right?" He said.
Jiang You, who was running with them through the wilderness, suddenly stopped and looked at Xue Yong with a surprised expression on his face.
Xue Yong also stopped, "Don't worry, once we get inside Heihui Sect, I will personally help you to get her." He said.
Jiang You heard him, and a slight blush appeared on his face. He smiled, "It's not like that boss Xue Yong." He said while rubbing the back of his head.
"Really, then how about my brother? I think Luo Xiaoli would be a perfect dao partner for my brother." Xue Wen also stopped and said suddenly, There was a mocking expression on her face as she looked at Jiang You.
Jiang You heard her, and his eyes narrowed in annoyance. He liked Luo Xiaoli, and he couldn't take it if someone else was trying to steal her from him.
"Xue Wen! Stop teasing him; can't you see that he is in love with Luo Xiaoli? How can I get a girl that my friend is in love with? And on top of that, I think these two would be perfect partners." Xue Yong said with a smile on his face; however, there was a hint of disdain in his voice, and Jiang You didn't manage to catch it.
"Thank you, boss; you understand me the best." Jiang, you said.
Xue Yong nodded with a smile at him.
Xue Wen looked at her brother and also smiled. Although it was hard to see through Xue Yong's expressions, she could easily see through him; she could tell that Xue Yong was going to play with Jiang You and Luo Xiaoli after they get selected in the sect.
After all, that was the nature of her brother; he liked stealing what belonged to others, and he hated when someone tried to steal his stuff.
At this point a face flashed in front of her eyes, and she gritted her teeth in anger. Ye Xin was the first person that managed to steal from them, and he also fooled them.
He was no servant of the Lin family; instead, he was just an ordinary villager.
'If I see him again, I will make sure to kill him this time!!' She thought as a determined expression appeared on her face.
Xue Yong noticed the change in her expression and took in a deep breath. He then placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, sister, I will make sure to kill him! He will pay ten times the amount that he got from us!" He said, and a determined expression appeared on his face.
He also hated Ye Xin and Gai Luo to the core; after all, they were the first people that had managed to make a fool out of them; they also took all their savings.
He could never forgive such an insult to his ego, and if he didn't kill them, then their faces would always haunt his memories.
Jiang You looked at the two and sighed internally; he could tell that they hated Ye Xin more than anyone and wanted to kill him. Specifically Xue Yong, he has taken an oath to kill both Ye Xin and Gai Luo.
'He is getting blinded by hate.' Jiang You thought and shook his head in disappointment.
"Let's go and find some beast to kill for the time being." Xue Yong said suddenly and nodded.
The two also nodded and were about to move deeper in the wilderness when they heard a loud voice in their right.
All of them turned their heads and looked in the direction of voice with their eyes narrowed. They couldn't see anything because of the foliage but could tell that someone was killing beasts just a few hundred meters away from them.
"Jiang You, go take a look." Xue Yong said suddenly.
Jiang You listened to him and took in a deep breath; he then summoned his crow.
"Quelpi, Shadowless Doppelganger!" He said.
Quelpi was his crow; it was a kind of beast that could create many clones and is best for spying and locating things.
Just as he said so, the Quelpi's body split in too, and one of them began to fly towards the source of the voice.
Jiang You's eyes suddenly turned red, and his body went completely still. Now he could see through the clone of his beast; from high in the sky, he could see a fight going on between two people and a beat.
The beast was a giant fox with three mouths. Jiang You failed to identify this beast, but he could tell that the beast was strong.
And in front of that beast were a guy and a girl.
The girl had a Grokie with her, and the guy had a red-coloured squid. When Jiang You saw the guy, his eyes suddenly widened, and he returned to his body again.
The crow Doppelganger dispersed in the air.
Jiang You looked at Xue Yong with a surprised expression on his face. "Master Xue Yong, it's that guy! The guy that stole all our money!" He pointed in the direction of the form where the sound was coming from and said,.
Xue Yong heard him, and his eyes narrowed, and then suddenly anger appeared in them.
Even Xue Wen's expressions changed, and she stepped towards Jiang You. "Are you sure?" She asked with hatefilled eyes.
"Yes." Jiag You nodded.
"Brother, let's go and kill that piece of shit!" Xue Wen said in an angry tone.
"Let's go!" Xue Yong also stepped forward.
"But master, he is not alone; he has a girl with him!" Jiang You suddenly said as he saw both brother and sister moving towards the source of the sound.
Xue Yong stopped, and a frown appeared on his face; however, soon a smile appeared on his face. "So what? She must be a village bumpkin too; just like him, they won't be our match."
"Last time those guys only managed to defeat us was because we just got our pets and didn't know how to use them properly. However, now that we have trained for a month under my father's guidance, we don't need to be scared of poor villagers like them."
"And I am sure that the squid he had was a wild one. Hmph, to think I lost to a wild one! I will avenge my disgrace today! And as for that girl, he stole my money; now I will steal her from him!" Xue Yong said.
Jiang You heard his words and saw the hatred in his eyes. He then gulped his saliva; he could tell that Xue Yong was really angry at Ye Xin, and he would not rest till he killed him.
"Bother, we have to kill him today! My Bai Bai has learnt a new attack; I am sure that this time he won't be able to deflect my y attack." She said and clenched her fist.
Last time Ye Xin's squid managed to deflect her attacks like he was deflecting a water balloon. However, this time she was sure that he wouldn't be able to do so.
"Let's go before they run away!" Xue Yong said and quickly stepped forward. Xue Wen followed him. Jiang You saw them both and sighed. He has no other choice than to follow them; after all, they were team members, and he can't abandon them.
Although he wanted to take revenge from Ye Xin, he was a bit scared. Last time, Ye Xin dealt with them as if he were dealing with some kids; although they have now trained under Xue Yong's father, he was not sure that they would manage to defeat him.
Soon enough, the three of them reached an open area; it was filled with grass, and in the middle of the area there was a big, three-faced fox lying down dead. Above the fox stood Jia Mei with a proud expression on her face, and below the fox stood Ye Xin, and he was currently looking at Jia Mei with a smile on his face.
"Ye Xin, look, my merits shot up to three hundred in just an hour; ain't I amazing?" By now she was completely open to Ye Xin and didn't feel awkward talking to him.
Instead, because of Ye Xin's easygoing nature, she felt like he was her best friend, and that was the reason why she was talking to him so enthusiastically.
Ye Xin nodded at her. "You are strong." He said.
Jia Mei jumped down from the fox with an ahamed expression on her face. "Or so I thought, before I met you, compared to you, I am like a child." She said.
"Don't worry, you will be stronger in no time." Ye Xin said with a smile.
"Thanks." Jia Mei nodded.
"You! I am going to kill you today!"
Suddenly a high-pitched voice resounded in the area, and both Ye Xin and Jia Mei turned their heads towards the source of the voice.
