The little phoenix rolled its eyes speechlessly and continued to rest on Gong Yihan's shoulder without moving.
On the other side.
Chu Junmo led his disciples south. Perhaps due to the mutual attraction of the male and female leads' auras, Chu Junmo encountered the female lead, Miao Yinyin.
At the previous ancestor's disciple recruitment event, Chu Junmo had been knocked unconscious and hadn't met Miao Yinyin. Therefore, the moment he saw the female lead this time, he felt as if he had seen a heavenly being. Although she was slightly inferior to the red-clothed woman he met last time, the female lead's beauty deeply captivated Chu Junmo.
Chu Junmo immediately stepped forward, bowed very gentlemanly, and said, "Is this young lady also here to train in the Beilun Secret Realm?"
Miao Yinyin frowned, her beautiful small face expressionless, and said, "I'm here for fun."
Chu Junmo: "..."
Chu Junmo smiled without any awkwardness, completely failing to notice Miao Yinyin's disinterest in talking to him. He continued, "Haha, this young lady is quite amusing. The Beilun Secret Realm is so dangerous. I am the ancestor's eldest disciple. Why don't I protect you, young lady?"
Upon hearing this, Miao Yinyin's gaze sharpened. She seemed to recall something, nodded, and said in a flat tone, "Alright."
As soon as she spoke, the person behind Miao Yinyin frowned and called out, "Saintess!"
Miao Yinyin raised her hand and said, "It's fine. If he wants to follow, let him. Perhaps we can lose fewer people when danger strikes."
Chu Junmo beamed with joy and quickly followed Miao Yinyin and her group with his junior disciples.
When Gong Yihan arrived, he saw Chu Junmo and Miao Yinyin's group being chased and attacked by a frenzied divine beast.
The divine beast was the Twin-Plumed Winged Tiger from the original plot.
The Twin-Plumed Winged Tiger had two pairs of black wings, was two to three times larger than an ordinary spirit tiger, and excelled in speed.
At this moment, the Twin-Plumed Winged Tiger's eyes were fierce, attacking anyone it saw. Many people from the demon tribe and the Xianli Sect had already been injured, some severely.
Chu Junmo and Miao Yinyin were also heavily injured and hiding in a very disheveled manner, but they always managed to perfectly evade the Twin-Plumed Winged Tiger's fatal attacks.
Seeing this scene, the system silently sighed in its heart, "This halo is terrifyingly strong."
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, Chu Junmo's gaze landed on Gong Yihan standing in the jungle.
Chu Junmo narrowed his eyes. Seizing an opportunity when the Twin-Plumed Winged Tiger was attacking someone else, he leaned close to Miao Yinyin's ear and whispered, "The one over there is my junior disciple, the ancestor's personal disciple. His cultivation is higher than mine. We'll lure this frenzied divine beast to him later and let him deal with it."
Hearing this, a fleeting thought flashed through Miao Yinyin's beautiful eyes. She curled her lips in disdain and nodded faintly.
Tsk, tsk, tsk! It seems these two disciples of the ancestor are not so harmonious! Luring the divine beast to him to deal with? Who would believe that? This guy is probably trying to lure the divine beast to get rid of his junior disciple.
Chu Junmo pulled a bag of white powder from his spatial storage. As the divine beast attacked, he sprinkled the powder on it and then darted towards Gong Yihan and his group.
Gong Yihan's mouth twitched violently upon seeing this.
This guy is truly ruthless! He's actually trying to use a divine beast to get rid of him!
Looking at the giant divine beast rushing towards them, Gong Yihan glanced down at his small frame and finally decided that the best strategy was to flee.
He prepared to slip away with his junior disciples.
The little phoenix on Gong Yihan's shoulder nudged him and said in a completely emotionless tone, "Why are you running? Can't you handle such a small fry? Master usually just goes all out when encountering something like this. Go!"
Gong Yihan: "..." Master is such a formidable figure, of course, he'd just go all out. But are you sure I can handle this big guy?
The little phoenix seemed to know what Gong Yihan was thinking and said, "Isn't there me? This guy can be used to improve your combat experience. Go! I'll protect these disciples."
Gong Yihan's mouth twitched slightly. Looking at the little phoenix, he wondered if it was that eager to send him to his doom.
ps: Thank you, little cuties, for the gifts!!
