Chapter 142
The fruits of the Dao were naturally extremely good, but life was obviously a bit more important.
"It's still better to play it safe," Qin Ran said. He cherished his life very much and did not want to stay behind.
He discovered that after Huang Feiyu had transformed into fire, his temperament had become more ostentatious and fiery.
The previous Huang Feiyu was a character who seemed to have maxed out his EQ, IQ, talent and cunning. The current Huang Feiyu, as Qin Ran examined the flames around him, really did seem to have become fire, irascible and irritable like fire, devoid of cunning and IQ.
"Uncle-Master, why be so cautious and careful, wretched like a rat, just to live one lifetime?" Huang Feiyu said. "If you live like this, even if you can survive for thousands or tens of thousands of years and attain immortality and the Dao, what meaning would that have?"
These words were extremely rude, practically insulting Qin Ran for being as timid as a rat.
Qin Ran's expression was a bit ugly, but he did not flare up. He only said, "It's better to be more cautious."
"Uncle-Master is clearly only in his twenties, yet acts like a hundred year old man, utterly boring!" Huang Feiyu shook his head.
Li Shiyin did not detect any insults in Huang Feiyu's previous words, but she could tell that his later words about the Master being old and boring were insulting.
She frowned at Huang Feiyu and said, "If Senior Brother wants to go by himself, just go! Where do all these nagging words come from?!"
Whether it was being nagged by a woman or being called timid and weak by a junior, in any case, Huang Feiyu was rendered speechless for a time and could not open his mouth to speak anymore.
Seeing his silly disciple stand up for him, Qin Ran secretly laughed to himself. He turned to look at Tian Wenjin and asked, "Do you want to go as well?"
Tian Wenjin hesitated very much. She was no longer as arrogant and proud as when she had just joined the sect. Now she knew her own talent and strength, and could roughly find her own position.
She knew that she was only at the middle Foundation Establishment stage. The battles that those at the Core Formation and Yuan Ying stages participated in were not something she should get involved in.
However, she did not answer Qin Ran, but looked instead to Huang Feiyu.
At sects on peaks as flourishing with people as Sword Peak, masters could not possibly arrange everything in detail for their disciples like Qin Ran did for Li Shiyin. More often, the disciples were left to freely cultivate on their own.
For example, in the two months since Tian Wenjin had joined the sect, her master had only met with her twice. In truth, it was Huang Feiyu who had been guiding her these past two months...
It was very much like a university class advisor whom you barely saw a few times in four years.
And also because Tian Wenjin actually liked Huang Feiyu, so even for matters like this, she subconsciously sought Huang Feiyu's decision.
"Neither daring to go here nor daring to go there, then why not just die?" Huang Feiyu's temperament had truly changed much. He said, "A hero wields the azure sword, establishing his grand reputation. Strumming the sword and singing, treading the heavens and traveling, magnificent and passionate is best."
He had seen this face before, and would definitely never forget it... Any man who saw this face would never forget it.
"Why would she be the one blasted out?" Qin Ran did not understand. When he came out, the beast side was at an absolute advantage, right?
Li Shiyin noticed something was off and pretended to be unconcerned as she asked, "Master, do you know her?"
"Can't say I know her..." Qin Ran was still guessing about the situation in the mist and did not notice Li Shiyin's expression as he casually replied, "Only seen her twice."
One time was even when they saw her together, only Li Shiyin had been asleep.
"Oh!" Li Shiyin was relieved.
Long Qiqi secretly glanced at Li Shiyin, inevitably worried for this silly girl - she was too easy to deal with...
The Five-Tailed Fox Spirit crawled up from the ground and looked around. Suddenly seeing Qin Ran not far away, her eyes lit up and she loudly shouted, "Young Master, save me!"
In the Five-Tailed Fox Spirit's understanding of Qin Ran, he was a lustful, cowardly, sinister, and crafty guy - the best candidate to beg for help from right now.
Being cowardly and lustful meant he would save her, while being sinister and crafty meant he could save her.
Of course, Qin Ran would never actually save her.
In Qin Ran's perspective, he had only met this vixen twice. He didn't even know her name, so why should he save her? He was about to directly reject her...
Then he suddenly noticed Li Shiyin's expression was a bit off.
Hm? Not right! What's with that look? Qin Ran panicked for no reason and hurriedly explained to Li Shiyin, "I really don't know her!"
His voice had just fallen when the peerless beauty the Five-Tailed Fox Spirit had transformed into flew straight towards him. Her brows and eyes were pitiful as she pleaded with him, "Young Master, I obtained a fruit of the Dao, hurry and run away..."
"???" Qin Ran was confused, his mind full of question marks.
He really wanted to say, Sis, we really aren't familiar!
But before he could speak, over twenty figures flew out from the mist again with a series of booms. These figures included humans and beasts, males and females, old and young, but no matter what, their auras were extremely terrifying...
None below the early Core Formation stage!
As these figures emerged, they all looked towards Qin Ran's side with formidable gazes... Their eyes could really kill!
"So she dared to privately take the fruit of the Dao, turns out she had backers," someone coldly laughed.
