"Huh?" Ye Hongjian and Tong Tiexin were both stunned at that time. Obviously, they did not expect Xu Han to stop the carriage for this reason.
Luo Yin and Meng Shuge 's faces were filled with astonishment. It was only when Xu Han gave them a teasing smile that the two of them regained their senses. It turned out that Xu Han was teasing them.
Luo Yin was fine, after all, what Xu Han said was only aimed at Meng Shuge .
Meng Shuge , on the other hand, was not. His heart could be said to be filled with fear and anger, but Xu Han's move had already shocked him. No matter how much dissatisfaction he had in his heart, it was still not easy for him to explode.
"Food? Yes." Ye Hongjian 's gaze swept across them, but from the smile on Xu Han's face and the sweat on Meng Shuge 's forehead, she knew that there was something fishy about it. However, she did not tear it apart and instead cooperated with Xu Han.
"Xuan'er is hungry. I want to ask for some food from you." Xu Han lifted the black cat from his shoulder with a puzzled expression. He ignored the dissatisfied protest from the black cat and smiled.
"Oh." Ye Hongjian gave Xu Han a meaningful look and handed over some dry rations from the carriage to Xu Han.
"Thank you." Xu Han took the food and nodded at Ye Hongjian and the ugly Tong Tiexin . Then, he turned around and walked into his carriage. Luo Yin and Meng Shuge , on the other hand, stayed in place for a while before recovering from their shock and followed Xu Han into the carriage with a dejected expression.
Tong Tiexin looked at the strange atmosphere between Xu Han and the others and vaguely guessed something. His expression became a little gloomy, but he did not say anything else. After the few of them got on the carriage again, he drove the carriage and went on the road again. However, his face was no longer as cheerful as before.
…
Returning to the carriage, Xu Han seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness the three of them had felt before. He held the dry rations Ye Hongjian had handed him and wanted to feed Xuan'er.
However, Xuan'er sniffed at the smell of the dried food, but her face revealed a look of disgust as she pushed it away with a claw.
Luo Yin and Meng Shuge had experienced what had just happened, but they did not dare to make any mistakes anymore and quietly sat to the side.
Xu Han did not have any thoughts about Ye Hongjian . In the end, he only wanted to rely on Ye Hongjian 's relationship to sneak into the Exquisite Pavilion to find an opportunity to heal the meridians in his body and refine the demon arm. But if he hadn't done anything, Meng Shuge or anyone else would have thought that he was easy to bully, and he would have been upset by the noise along the way, so he would have taught them a lesson to avoid any further troubles.
As Xu Han had expected, Meng Shuge was much more at ease along the way with the previous incident. In the blink of an eye, it was night.
The group found a wide area to camp and rest.
A group of eight people, Ye Hongjian was surrounded by people like a princess. A group of people surrounded her and asked about warmth. Tong Tiexin even thought of a way to be courteous. Ye Hongjian was also quite sociable. She responded to everyone one by one. She would not make anyone unhappy. She felt even more amiable. On the contrary, she made everyone fall in love with this Taishang Elder 's closed-door disciple from the bottom of their hearts.
On the other hand, Xu Han was left to the side and sat alone on the side of the fire, quietly eating the dry rations in his hands.
After dinner, the people who had worked hard for a whole day had to prepare to rest.
Xu Han had originally planned to sleep. Although he had been riding in a carriage, the road was bumpy, and the feeling wasn't good at all.
However, Tong Tiexin walked up with a smile on her face.
"Brother Xu." He kindly placed his hand on Xu Han's shoulder, and the tone in his mouth was exceptionally eager.
"Hmm? Brother Tong, do you have any instructions?" Xu Han knew that he hadn't come out of nowhere, but he didn't reveal a single expression on his face. Instead, he had a face full of fear.
"It will take more than ten days to reach Linglong Pavilion. Junior Sister Hongjian has a distinguished status, so I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen to me. You don't travel much in Jianghu. I'm afraid I don't know. The thief's favorite thing is the surprise attack at night. I thought about it and decided that it would be better to arrange a vigil." Tong Tiexin said as if he had been there before.
"Yes. Big Brother Tong's words are reasonable. The thief has to be on guard. I wonder when Big Brother Tong will arrange a vigil? I will definitely cooperate." Although he had figured out that Tong Tiexin had ulterior motives, Xu Han knew that the people of the Long Night Division would not let Ye Hongjian go to the Linglong Pavilion. The journey over the past few days would not be peaceful. Although he did not like Tong Tiexin, his suggestion was very necessary, and Xu Han had no reason to refute it.
"No, no, no. Brother Xu misunderstood." Tong Tiexin waved his hand repeatedly, his face still carrying a smile that made people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.
"If there really is a thief, we must rely on our junior brothers to attack. Brother Xu's cultivation is indeed not satisfactory. I have no other intentions. I hope Brother Xu doesn't misunderstand. It's just that it's related to Junior Sister Hongjian's safety. I thought it would be better to let Brother Xu guard the vigil and let the junior brothers and sisters cultivate well just in case. What do you think, Brother Xu?"
Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned, but he didn't want this Tong Tiexin to have such an abacus.
"What? Brother Xu, do you have any misgivings?" Seeing that Xu Han seemed to be hesitating, Tong Tiexin asked again with a threatening tone.
Xu Han looked sideways at Tong Tiexin , who still had a thick smile on his face, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
He had a leather pouch, and under his lustful heart, his ferocious face was revealed at this moment.
"It's all up to Big Brother Tong." Xu Han, however, did not break it and replied.
If Xu Han were to hand over the vigil to these young disciples of famous sects, he would feel somewhat worried. It would be better for him to block it alone. Of course, this was not for the sake of the disciples of the Exquisite Pavilion, but for his own sake.
Seeing that Xu Han was so weak, the smile on Tong Tiexin 's face became even more intense. He patted Xu Han on the shoulder and said, "Then it will be hard for Brother Xu. Then, he turned around and swaggered away."
About fifteen minutes passed and everyone was asleep. Only Xu Han was sitting by the campfire. His gaze fell into a daze as he looked at the leaping campfire in front of him.
The vigil was no stranger to Xu Han.
Whether it was as an assassin of the Dark Asura Hall , in order to hunt down certain targets, or to travel with the Vastsea Stream afterwards, or to guard against those vengeful bandits who were following them, Xu Han had done something for several days without sleeping.
It's just a normal meal for him.
However, from the death of Canghai Liu to the departure of the Headmaster, to what he had seen and heard in Chang'an, and to the man from the Tiance Prefecture that he had met yesterday, these things were intertwined together, causing Xu Han to feel somewhat irritated.
Canghai Liu once said that everyone had their own mission when they came to this world.
Canghai Liu had completed his mission.
And what about Xu Han?
Xu Han didn't know that he was still confused about the future.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and touch the jade pendant in his arms, thinking about the three-year agreement that the man made yesterday. The thoughts in his mind grew more and more irritable.
"Da."
At this time, a soft sound suddenly occurred not far away.
It was the sound of riding boots breaking dead branches on the ground.
Xu Han suddenly recovered from his thoughts. He looked sideways and saw a beautiful figure slowly walking towards him not far away.
At that moment, his eyes narrowed. "Miss Ye, are you still awake at this late hour?"
Hearing this, Ye Hongjian smiled brightly, but she walked over to Xu Han and sat down beside him.
"This is the first time I've left home since I was young. I can't sleep." Ye Hongjian propped up her side face with her hand, looked at the flames in front of her, and said softly.
Her voice was extremely gentle, even a little lonely, causing Xu Han to be stunned.
He couldn't help but look sideways. At that time, the flames reflected Ye Hongjian 's side face. Her eyebrows were delicate and beautiful, like a painting brush, and her cherry lips were bright red, as if they could drip water.
The so-called "falling fish, falling wild goose, shutting the moon and shaming the flowers" was probably nothing more than that.
Xu Han couldn't help but have this thought in his heart.
"Does it look good?" Ye Hongjian 's voice sounded at that moment.
Xu Han was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses, only to see Ye Hongjian turning to look at him with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
Only then did Xu Han know that he was being teased by Miss Ye and cursed at his perverted heart, but his face was forcefully calm.
"Miss Ye, you didn't come here late at night just to show me your beauty, did you?" He calmed his mind and said, shaking off the slightest bit of depression in his heart.
"Are you practicing external techniques?" Ye Hongjian did not answer and asked.
On that day of probing, Xu Han had already exposed his hand. He did not need to conceal it from Ye Hongjian , so he immediately nodded in acknowledgement.
"When we fought that day, I saw that your cultivation had already reached the Vajra Realm. It is truly unimaginable for you to be the same age as me, yet be able to cultivate your fleshly body to such an extent." Ye Hongjian looked up and down at Xu Han with interest, as if she wanted to see it clearly.
"I'm overpraising you. After all, cultivating your physical body is an external path. It can't compare to the purple pill in Miss Ye's body." Xu Han's words were not complimentary.
One had to know that the world's acknowledged righteous path of cultivation was guided by internal force, gathering the inner core, producing three elements, opening the secluded door, connecting the heavens and earth with the soul, leaving no dust on one's body, and finally transforming into a great spill. Although the physical body cultivators advanced extremely quickly in the early stages and their combat strength surpassed that of cultivators in the same realm, once they reached the Diamond Realm, their next step would be to struggle.
Even Xu Han was still 108,000 kilometers away from him at the Purple Firmament Realm.
On the other hand, although Ye Hongjian 's cultivation was only at the Pill Yang Realm, it was important to know that the most important thing in the Pill Yang Realm was to condense an inner core with the internal strength in his body. The inner core was divided into three grades, the lower grade was yellow, the middle grade was red, and the upper grade was purple. Ordinary cultivators could only come into contact with yellow pills, and those who could obtain red pills could already be considered geniuses of the heavens, but what about Ye Hongjian ? However, it was a purple pill that was unparalleled in the world. This also meant that once he broke through the Pill Yang Realm, his future path would be smooth and smooth. It was no wonder that such talent was valued by Sikong Bai.
However, in the face of Xu Han's praise, Ye Hongjian only smiled valiantly and didn't take it seriously. This kind of praise had been heard too much in her more than ten years of life, and she had long since gotten used to it.
Her face suddenly straightened, and her voice lowered a little.
She asked.
"Do you think they can stop the people from the Long Night Division?"
