Mu Qing Xue nodded when she heard this. She didn't even say anything as she was not interested in this so-called Li Zhe at all. After nodding his head, he decided to leave on his own.

Seeing that Mu Qingxue was about to leave, Li Qinglin immediately wanted to wink at her. However, this slight movement still entered Mu Qingxue's eyes. A trace of coldness flashed past Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes.

Sima Zhao's heart was known to all. How could Mu Qingxue not know Li Qinglin's intentions?

"Ai …" Miss Mu, today you and I believe it is better to go to my tent and have a drink to increase our understanding! "

Receiving his uncle's hint, Li Zhe hurriedly stood in front of Mu Qingxue.

"Out of the way!"

Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes narrowed as she spoke.

"Miss Mu, I have no other intentions but to become friends with Miss Mu!"

Li Zhe said with a face full of smiles.

"I told you to scram, did you hear me?"

Mu Qing Xue's charming face was slightly angered. She was extremely disgusted by Li Zhe's pestering, so she scolded him with her charming voice.

Having been scolded by him, Li Zhe's expression also changed. Although he was not the number one genius of the 18 cities of the Nine Prefectures, he was still considered a person that he focused on in his family. When had he ever been treated like this?

"Miss Mu, I heard that your fiancé is the trash of the Cyanwood City, Young Master Xiao Jiu. How am I, Li Zhe, worse than a piece of trash? "

Li Zhe said with an unsightly expression.

"Whoosh."

Mu Qingxue's charming face was filled with coldness as a snow-white longsword appeared in her hand. She didn't wait for Li Zhe to speak before placing it against Li Zhe's neck.

Li Zhe didn't expect Mu Qing Xue to be so direct. Mu Qing Xue had already taken control of his vitals. At this distance, if Mu Qing Xue wanted to kill him, that would be a matter of minutes.

"I'll say it again. Scram! Dozens of times I hit you, either you scram or your head falls to the ground!"

She could not bear to see others speak ill of Xiao Jiu. All along, Xiao Jiu had always been an inviolable existence in her heart. What did Li Zhe count for? He actually dared to speak so arrogantly.

"Hehe …" Miss Mu, don't be rash. I'll go, I'll go! "

Li Zhe's face was a bit pale. He was a sensible person. If he didn't admit his mistake in time, he completely believed that Mu Qingxue would use her sword and take his life.

Even if his uncle was here, he couldn't do anything. Even if his uncle could do anything to Mu Qingxue, so what? Since he was already dead, what was the use of revenge?

"Miss, don't be rash. If you have offended her in any way, please forgive me!"

Li Qinglin also felt that it was extremely painful. Originally, he wanted to let his nephew climb up the branch of Mu Qingxue, but he didn't expect her to have such a huge reaction. Also, could it be that the trash of the Xiao family was really that important?

Even Mu Qingxue was protecting him like this, so what was so good about that trash?

"If I were to hear any more insults directed at my fiancé, you all would not have to return to the Mu family!"

Mu Qing Xue withdrew her sword as she spoke with an ice-cold expression. Then, he left without even glancing at the two.

After Mu Qing Xue left, the uncle and nephew duo looked at each other. They could see the unwillingness and hatred in each other's eyes.

"What's so good about that piece of trash? A piece of trash can actually get her favor, while I can't?"

After Mu Qing Xue had left, Li Zhe said bitterly. There was a trace of jealousy in his eyes. He couldn't figure it out the most. In the eighteen cities of the Nine Prefectures, there were countless young talents who were infatuated with Mu Qingxue. Only Xiao Chen was unfathomable like her.

As for Xiao Jiu, he was a well-known piece of trash. He simply could not understand what was going on.

"I heard that Xiao Jiu also entered the Blazing Mountain. Moreover, this trash has no cultivation, so he probably won't be able to get out of the mountain. When that time comes, as long as you shine in the battle for the Holy Beasts and obtain the benefits that you deserve, then I am afraid that it will not be our request for the Mu Family, but the Mu Family! "

Li Qinglin's eyes flashed with a bright light as he spoke.

"Uncle is right, that is a Saint Beast after all. A seriously injured Saint Beast can soar into the sky after taking just a little bit of flesh. When that happens, I want the Mu family to beg me. I want Mu Qingxue to kneel in front of me and beg me to look at her!"

When Li Zhe heard what Li Qinglin said, his eyes flashed with a fiery passion. In his eyes, he had already seen the scene of Mu Qingxue gently turning and turning under his crotch.

"Good nephew, that's right. This is a chance for you to participate in the competition, but I begged the Patriarch to come and fight for you, so don't let me down! "

Li Qinglin was very satisfied with his nephew's performance. He nodded and said.

"Nephew will live up to uncle's expectations!"

"Very good. In the future, our future prospects will depend on yours, uncle and nephew!"

Li Qinglin patted Li Zhe's shoulder in satisfaction and said. He left first. Seeing his uncle leave, Li Zhe also followed, but his eyes were still full of unwillingness.

As night fell, intermittent howls of demon beasts could be heard coming from the Blazing Mountain. Some were far away, some were close, some were high, and some were low. If a person were to be left alone in such a deep forest, the average person would definitely be scared out of their wits.

Xiao Chen carried a huge boulder on his back as he advanced. By the time night fell, he had already entered the range of Blazing Mountain. As long as another day passed, he should be able to reach his destination, Flame Valley.

The deeper they went into the Blazing Mountain, the higher the temperature would be. Xiao Jiu carried a huge boulder on his back. He had already walked for five or six hours, and his clothes were already soaked through.

He wanted this kind of effect. As night fell, he wanted to stop, but he realized that he was in a bad situation. He walked up to a protruding rock and put down the boulder he was carrying. He then stood up the boulder while leaning on it.

He took off his clothes and threw them on the grass. Then, he took out his water bag and started drinking.

Not too far away from Xiao Jiu, a group of wet and salty eyes were staring at him.

"Go back and tell the young master that the trash of the Xiao family has entered the range of Blazing Mountain. We have stopped here and are continuing to keep an eye on him!"

There were a total of three people hiding in the darkness, and the leader of the group said to a skinny little man beside him. Hearing this, the short one immediately nodded his head and stepped back.

Just now, his body had been covered by the huge rock. The remaining two people, one was the leader, and the other one was a chubby young man. Both of them were wearing gray clothes with a stone character embroidered on the front of their chests.

The two of them hid in the darkness and observed for a long time. However, Xiao Jiu, who was sitting behind the rock, didn't make the slightest movement. And because the angle was blocked by the rock, they couldn't see Xiao Chen at all.

After a while, Xiao Jiu, who was behind the rock, did not move at all. The two people who were observing from the dark were starting to suspect something. This situation seemed to be rather strange.

"Fatty, go over there and see what this trash is doing hiding behind a rock?"

The leader felt that the situation was too strange, so he spoke up. No one answered him after he finished, so he urged again.

"Fatty, did you listen to me? Go over there and see what that trash is doing?"

The fatty ignored him. The person in the lead became a little angry and his tone became a little more serious. However, there was still no response from behind him. However, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"What for?"

The leader of the group was thoroughly angered. However, when he turned around to look, he saw a smiling face with an indifferent smile on it. The smiling director was none other than Xiao Jiu.

When the leader of the group saw this, he was completely stupefied. He was about to struggle free, but before he could do so, he suddenly felt a chill down his throat. An ice-cold dagger was stabbed into his neck.

Before he died, his face was filled with disbelief. His eyes were wide open as he stared at Xiao Jiu, unable to rest in peace. However, his body had uncontrollably collapsed to the ground.

After putting down his corpse, Xiao Jiu searched around the two people's bodies and took out all the things that they could use.

Both of them were servants of the Shi family, so they didn't have much valuables on them. Xiao Jiu only found a total of 300 silver coins and two Rank 1 Demonic Beast Cores on them.

Silver Coins were a good item. Even though it was a bit small, it was still a good thing to keep. Moreover, he was currently in the Xiao Clan. Although the Xiao Clan was considered to be a large clan in the Greenwood City, the city itself wasn't a big city, so he didn't have much resources.

Compared to the huge amount of cultivation resources he needed, it was obviously not enough.

In the past, he didn't need to cultivate; he wouldn't even need to use things like monthly cultivation. But now, he could cultivate Xuan Qi, and the amount of resources he needed would be massive.

Even if the family was willing to support him, it would not be enough to satisfy his training needs. Therefore, he could only rely on his own hands. Three hundred silver was not a lot, but it was still a little bit much.

In the Xiao family, if they wanted to use the family's resources, their father would have to see the expressions of those old fellows. Xiao Jiu did not want his father to be troubled.

After putting away all the things he had collected, Xiao Jiu suddenly thought of something and chased after the skinny little man.

The skinny little man brought back his report and ran through the forest. The forest was unusually quiet at night, and although he was a cultivator, he could feel that the atmosphere in the entire forest was strange. He felt a chill in his heart and quickened his pace.

At this time, a cool breeze blew through the forest and swept up the leaves on the ground. The coldness in the skinny man's heart became even stronger as he quickened his pace. At this time, he was already running as fast as he could.

The cool breeze was getting stronger and stronger, even lifting up the leaves and sending them flying into the air. He always felt uneasy, as if someone was following him.

"Who, come out!"

The skinny and short man summoned up his courage and shouted at the flying leaves in the sky, but still no one answered him.

"Swoosh …"

Just at that moment, the sound of wind breaking rang out. A leaf flew towards him, and that leaf gradually enlarged in his eyes before being forcibly inserted into his throat.

Looking at the tree leaves that were stuck in his throat, the skinny, short man's eyes widened in disbelief. Even in death, his body collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.
