"How could a beggar like you be qualified to be here? I know, you must have snuck in here. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! "

The man arrogantly raised his head and said with a disdainful look on his face.

It was only when Jun Qiyan heard this that he finally recognized the other. Normally, Jun Qiyan would be too lazy to lower herself to the same level as such an arrogant and despotic young miss.

However, it was obvious that this woman had come at the wrong time. Jun Qianyan had always been unhappy about the matters in her heart, and this woman had rushed to her doom.

Just as Jun Qiyan was about to mock him, Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun interrupted him.

"Rest in peace!" Saint Silkworm said with an unfriendly expression, "I've already said this many times, you should retract your temper, young miss!"

The Saint Silkworm had a stern expression on his face. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with what Li Shu Ran had said just now.

"Both of them are my guests. If you say that Mu Jiu is a beggar, then wouldn't that mean that I'm not even equal to a beggar?" Saint Silkworm coldly snorted in displeasure.

Seeing that Saint Silkworm was truly angry, Li Shu Ran was clearly flustered. She hastily explained, "I … I didn't mean that …"

The Saint Silkworm sighed and apologetically said to Jun Qiyan, "It's a relief that he doesn't know anything. Don't take the words just now to heart."

Since Senior Saint Silkworm had already said this, Jun Qiyan naturally could not say anything else.

"Then, what are your thoughts on that matter?" Li Shu Ran asked cautiously, a trace of caution in his eyes.

When he said that, a trace of helplessness appeared in the depths of Saint Silkworm's eyes. "Let me think about it. You can go to a nearby village and find a place to stay for the time being."

Saint Silkworm slightly perfunctorily replied.

Li Shu Ran bit her lips and agreed.

After Li Shu Ran left, Saint Silkworm Master Ye rubbed between his eyebrows as if he was extremely tired.

Jun Qiyan raised his eyebrows as he noticed the envelope in the Saint Silkworm's hand.

"What's going on?" Jun Qiyan curiously asked.

Saint Silkworm finally spoke after a long while, "Li Shu Ran's father was a benefactor to me in the past, and now Li Shu Ran wants to acknowledge me as his master."

Jun Qiyan wore a look of understanding.

If Li Shu Ran became a disciple of Saint Silkworm Origin Sentinel, this place would no longer be peaceful.

Moreover, a young lady like this was obviously someone who was spoiled by her family, so how could she be willing to train properly?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Saint Silkworm waved his hand and continued, "How is it going over there?"

As the matter of the secret realm was brought up, the smile on Jun Qiyan's face lightened. Just what kind of intelligent person was Saint Silkworm? One look at Jun Qianyan's appearance was enough to tell that there was something fishy going on.

Seeing that Jun Qianyan was unwilling to bring it up, the Saint Silkworm Elemental Sovereign said nothing more.

"Mo Jiu, how is your health?"

Di Mo Jiu acted as if he was not affected by the secret realm's incident as he calmly replied, "Nothing serious already, I'm sorry to trouble Saint Silkworm Master Yuan to worry about that."

Saint Silkworm nodded. "The two of you should go back and rest first. The secret realm also uses up a lot of spiritual energy."

Seeing that the other party had already sent out the order to leave, Jun Qianyan did not keep them any longer and returned to the small storage room with Di Mo and Di Jiu.

The items in the storage room had already been moved away by Saint Silkworm and he also added a bed. This way, Di Mo Jiu wouldn't have an excuse to share the bed with Jun Qiyan.

The following days were much calmer. Jun Qiyan and Di Mo Jiu seemed as if they had said something beforehand, and didn't pay any attention to each other.

To be more accurate, the chances of the two meeting had become very small.

In order to avoid Di Mo Jiu, Jun Qiyan went to the back of the mountain every day at dawn to accompany the magical beasts.

He would return in the evening with a body full of wounds.

Di Mo Jiu also didn't know what he was busy with recently, it could be considered as him not coming back for the rest of the night.

He would only return to the chore house in the middle of the night. Sometimes, Jun Qiyan would fall into a daze in the middle of the night, and the bed beside him was still empty.

However, Jun Qiyan was glad to have nothing to do, and did not know how to face Di Mo Jiu.

The sun rose along a green line in the horizon, and the golden light scattered along the lush forest.

Jun Qiyan had been called out by the Saint Silkworm. He tidied himself up and prepared to walk into the forest with the morning dew.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, they met Li Shu Ran, who had changed into casual clothes. He stood up straight and looked at them.

"I want to go too!"

She spoke without a doubt and walked forward without waiting for Senior Yuan and Jun Qianyan to speak.

The Supreme Yuan frowned and used a flash to stand in front of her. He said with a slightly heavy tone, "The forest is dangerous. If you go in, you will be injured."

These words sounded like he was very concerned. However, Jun Qianyan only needed a glance to know that Saint Silkworm Yuan Zun was only afraid that Li Shu Ran would be injured and come looking for trouble.

She shrugged her shoulders. She didn't want to talk to him about this.

While they were talking, Di Mo Jiu walked out and stood beside Jun Qiyan and the others. He lightly said, "Today, I am going to bring Qiqi. Yuan Zun will protect Miss Li first. "

When Li Shu Ran heard this, although he was glad that he could follow them, his dissatisfaction with Jun Qiyan had reached its peak.

What right did such a good-looking man have to protect Jun Qiyan and not her?

She gritted her teeth and secretly tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.

Even though Saint Silkworm still had a trace of worry, he agreed after thinking for a while.

After all, if Li Shu Ran was forced to stay, who knows what this pampered young miss would do, it would be better to bring her along.

"Then, Miss Li, please follow behind me. Don't wander around." Senior Saint Silkworm warned her repeatedly before shifting his gaze back to Jun Qiyan. He said slightly sternly, "I killed three magical beasts today and obtained their cores."

Jun Qiyan nodded without even looking at her.

The four of them advanced forward a bit and entered into a thick fog. Di Mo Jiu subconsciously wanted to grab onto Jun Qiyan's hand, but after hearing her cry out, he felt that his hands and feet had been bound.

"I'm so scared. Can you not push me away?" Li Shu Ran desperately leaned over. That soft voice made people's heart ache.

Di Mo Jiu only had Jun Qiyan in his heart, so he didn't listen to her. He didn't even think about it as he pushed her away, turning his head to look for her.

Jun Qiyan stood alone in the fog, frowning as he faintly sensed the aura of a magical beast.

"Woosh ~ ~ ~"

Suddenly, there was a piercing sound and a figure quickly flashed in front of him.

Her heart tightened. She already knew where this fog came from.

He quickly turned around and unsheathed his sword. A snow-white shadow flashed through the fog. The sword's edge descended and directly collided with the hard object. With a heavy "plop!" sound, the blade collided with the hard object.

He didn't expect that the magical beast skin would be so thick.

She narrowed her eyes and drew back her sword.

She couldn't clearly see through the fog, so she could only rely on her hearing. Although the wind in the forest wasn't that strong, it was enough to confuse the crowd.
