Everyone: ......
The woman in pink was furious upon hearing this, raising her sword to strike in Ming Li's direction.
But her sword was stopped by Liu Ci halfway.
This woman clearly wasn't simple, and she even possessed a high-grade spiritual artifact. If he could recruit her into the sect, his status would surely rise accordingly...
Liu Ci spoke, "Junior Sister Chu Yue! Do not be rude to this young lady!"
Wen Chu Yue, being stopped, looked at Liu Ci with disbelief.
"Senior Brother, it's clearly this woman's fault. Why are you stopping me?"
Liu Ci subtly signaled to Wen Chu Yue, wanting her to let it go, as he had other considerations.
However, Wen Chu Yue didn't understand the meaning in Liu Ci's eyes at all and continued to glare at Ming Li with anger.
Ming Li's mouth twitched wildly under her gaze.
Did she say something wrong?
Ming Li rolled her eyes and, picking up the system that was still ravenously devouring the grilled meat beside her, prepared to leave this place of trouble.
Seeing Ming Li about to leave, Liu Ci quickly got up to block her path. He couldn't let this opportunity slip away.
"Where is the young lady going? The Spiritual Mist Mountain Range becomes perilous at night, let alone its depths. I believe it would be safest for the young lady to stay with me and my junior disciples."
Ming Li glanced calmly at Liu Ci, whose eyes were full of calculation, and a slight smile touched her lips. She said, "Young man, you have a lot of ideas, but that depends on whether you can keep up with me."
With that, Ming Li's figure vanished from her spot at an incredible speed, reappearing elsewhere, then vanishing again. After repeating this twice, Ming Li's figure completely disappeared from Liu Ci's sight.
Liu Ci: "...This is... the Seven Steps Art!"
The Seven Steps Art was a rare high-level cultivation technique. Those who mastered it could instantly move thousands of miles within seven steps.
This woman actually possessed such a technique. She must have other treasures on her. If he could recruit this woman into the sect and bring her to the Grand Elder, the Grand Elder would surely gain more power, and replacing the Sect Master would not be impossible.
With this thought, Liu Ci narrowed his eyes, reached out to touch his spatial ring, and looked at where Ming Li had disappeared, a peculiar smile appearing on his face.
By then, he would definitely make this woman willingly join their sect.
Thinking this, Liu Ci returned to his junior disciples and began eating the grilled meat with them.
Meanwhile, the system was being tossed around in Ming Li's hands, almost throwing up.
The system, covering its mouth with its pig's trotters, spoke nervously, "Host! The grilled meat! The grilled meat! We forgot the grilled meat!"
It had been snatched up so suddenly that it forgot its grilled meat, woo woo woo! That was the grilled meat roasted by its Host, and it was just given away to those little cannon fodder!
Ming Li: ...She looked at the system, full of reluctance, with suspicious eyes. This fellow wouldn't happen to be a glutton, would it? Ming Li was very doubtful.
The system felt a little embarrassed under Ming Li's gaze and immediately straightened its small body, speaking with utmost seriousness, "Host, don't look at me like that. This system just feels it's a shame to waste..."
Qi Qi: Don't hide it, you are just a gluttonous pig.
System: ...... Where's the knife, where's the knife! Where's the fourteen-meter-long knife that its Host hid!
ps: Thank you, little darlings, for the gifts! Read novels!
