He was clearly only at the first level of Qi Refining, yet he appeared in this sort of place. One must know that with the cultivation of the first level of Qi Refinement, even if one met a Rank 1 Demonic Beast, it would only be a dead end.

There was no lack of Rank 1 Demonic Beasts in the Intense Flaming Mountain, especially in the periphery. That was the world of Rank 1 Demonic Beasts. As long as one encountered a Rank 1 Demonic Beast, Xiao Duanshui, who was only at the first level of the Qi Refining stage, would basically lose his life.

But now it wasn't the case. This person had magically appeared here. No matter what, this couldn't be justified.

Although Lin Jing was puzzled, she did not ask.

What she was most concerned about right now was not Xiao Jiu's ancestry. No matter how much this Xiao Duanshui's background was, it was useless and could not pose any threat to them.

What she was concerned about was if what Xiao Jiu said was true, then how could she bring her juniors of the Xiao family to Flame Valley? If they did not arrive in time and missed the opportunity for the Saint Beast to be reborn, then she would definitely be criticized by the family.

Moreover, for a Saint Beast, even if they obtained even the slightest bit of benefits from it, it would bring a tremendous change to the clan. Furthermore, this change was a good one.

"I know of a path that leads to Flame Valley in one day, but I don't know if you'll dare to take it!"

Xiao Jiu faintly smiled as he spoke. He had decided to help the Lin Clan because he had a good impression of Lin Wan'er. As for Lin Cheng, he would let him go, no matter what he wanted to do.

Xiao Jiu also felt very depressed. If it wasn't for the fact that he had bet with him to get the money, he wouldn't even want to say a word to this Lin City.

"Eldest Miss, this person's background is unknown, please don't listen to him. What route is closer? It's clearly bullshit!"

Lin Cheng coldly snorted, looked at Xiao Jiu, and said somewhat indignantly.

"Believe it or not, it's not like I'm going to make you believe it!"

Xiao Jiu yawned, stretched his back, and said.

"Brother Broken Water, are you coming with us?"

Lin Wan'er walked up to Xiao Jiu and took his arm, speaking in a rather intimate tone. He had only known her for less than two hours, just like an old friend. Perhaps this was what the legends described as natural familiarity.

Otherwise, he and Lin Wan'er would have been on very good terms.

"I can go with you!"

However, when these words fell into Lin City's ears, it made him feel extremely uncomfortable. What did it mean that he could walk with you? Could it be that he couldn't walk with them?

He was only at the 1st level of Refinement Stage. If he were to leave, he would be eaten by the beasts in just a few minutes. Xiao Duanshui's words were obviously meant that he got lucky and was acting good.

"You can come with us, but don't tell me that you feel wronged just by coming with us?"

Lin Cheng sneered. If it wasn't for the fact that Lin Jing was right in front of him, he wouldn't have been able to stop himself from killing this trash. He was simply too arrogant and fearless.

What kind of cultivation did he have? Did he not have any points in his heart?

Compared to Lin City's indignation, Lin Wan'er didn't care that much. What she cared about was whether Broken Water's brother could go with them. Everything else was secondary.

"I do feel a bit wronged. At that time, if I encounter any danger, I will need to protect you!"

Xiao Chen nodded his head and said with a serious expression.

Hearing that the Xiao family is so stubborn, Lin City's expression became even more unsightly, "What did you say? Can you not be so shameless, we were clearly the one bringing you down, and now you actually said that you were going to protect us, with that little cultivation of yours, it's already not bad that you could protect yourself, and even protect us, it's really laughable! "

"Alright, shut up!" A trace of displeasure was written on her face. When the crowd heard this, they also quieted down, "Let's go and take a look at that Fire Spirit Beast. It should not be far from here since it is heavily injured!"

Lin Jing pondered for a moment before making such a decision.

It had to be said that Lin Jing was a very dignified person. As soon as she spoke, none of the Lin Family members spoke a word.

Lin Jing walked in front, and the Lin Clan disciples followed.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu's heart felt a little weak. This kind of deficiency came from the heart. It was not out of fear, but rather a feeling that he had done something shameful and said something he didn't mean.

If Lin Jing knew that the demonic beast that she had been chasing after had been taken away by her, she wondered how she would react.

Once upon a time, Xiao Jiu was also a wealthy man, the world's number one assassin. He had never thought that he would do something so vile for the sake of a Rank Four Fire Spirit Beast's beast core.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was in a dire situation. There was nothing he could do about it.

After the group walked forward a distance, they finally discovered the fire spirit beast.

"Hmm? It's dead! "

Lin Jing looked at the gigantic demonic beast in front of her. She furrowed her brows and said with a trace of doubt.

"Let's go up and take a look!"

Lin Jing instructed the people beside her. The disciples of the Lin Family that were called over went up to check on the corpses of the fire spirit beasts.

"Eldest Miss, this Rank 4 Fire Spirit Beast was killed by someone else. The beast core has already been taken away. Moreover, the person who killed the demon beast used a very blunt saber!"

After the Lin Family disciple who was sent to see the dead Rank 4 Fire Spirit Beast, he spoke up.

"Hmph …" I didn't expect us to work so hard, and we actually took advantage of others! "

Lin City was somewhat indignant as he replied. At this time, he thought of Xiao Jiu once again, and his anger even began to rise.

"It's all this man's fault. If it wasn't for him wasting our time, we wouldn't have had our beast cores stolen!"

Lin City pointed at Xiao Jiu as he complained. This was clearly aimed at Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu did not say anything. Perhaps, it could be said that he was already used to this kind of person. He believed that this so-called Lin City would one day pay the price for his words.

"Brother Lin Cheng, how can you say that about Brother Duanshui? Brother Duanshui is not that kind of person!"

Lin Wan'er looked at Lin City with a trace of displeasure in her eyes as she defended Xiao Jiu. From Lin Wan'er's gaze, Xiao Jiu could see a trace of disgust in Lin Wan'er's eyes.

When Xiao Jiu heard Lin Wan'er's words, he immediately felt some guilt.

Am I not that kind of person? I'm sorry, but I really am that kind of person. Will I tell you that the Monstrous Beast core that you chased after for half a day is on me now?

"Although a Rank 4 Demonic Beast's beast core is extremely precious, the number one clan of Full Moon City should not lack these things, right?"

Although a Rank 4 Demonic Beast was quite precious, it was nothing to a powerful clan like the Yue Lin Clan. As long as an elder of a clan were to make a move, killing a few Rank 4 Demonic Beasts would not be a problem.

"Not for money, but for something special. However, even if it's on the market, I can still buy it, it's just that I need to spend a bit of money to buy it. "

Lin Jing did not say what she was here for, but Xiao Jiu had already vaguely guessed that there must be some special needs. As for the specific needs, Xiao Chen did not ask about them.

"Big sister, are we going with big brother Xiao Jiu?"

Lin Wan'er asked. Ever since Xiao Jiu had appeared, Lin Wan'er had shown a great amount of trust and reliance in him. This strange situation caused Lin Jing to be a bit surprised.

Of course, this was only astonishment in his heart and he did not reveal it.

However, she still believed in her little sister because she knew that the strength her little sister possessed was not something she could understand.

"What does Wan-Er think?"

Hearing this, Lin Jing'er did not give him an answer directly. Instead, she threw the question back to Lin Wan'er for her to decide. As for Xiao Jiu following her, she had actually rejected him in her heart.

First of all, Xiao Chen was only at the first level of Qi Refining. It was impossible for him to protect himself, and he had to arrange someone else to protect him.

Secondly, this person's origin was unknown. Although he came from the Xiao Clan of the Cyanwood City, it was hard to tell if the Xiao Clan of the Cyanwood City had such a person.

Third, it was this person. There were many strange things about him that even she couldn't figure out.

"Wan-Er thinks that we should let Broken Water brother stay here. If Broken Water brother enters alone, I'm afraid he will encounter danger!"

The little girl fiercely nodded and said with complete certainty.

"First Miss and Second Miss, please reconsider. This trip is very dangerous, we really do not need to bring along any burden. We can't even protect ourselves, how can we have the time and energy to protect someone we don't even know! "We can't believe his words. We must follow the path that he talks about. Maybe this person has some sort of secret plan."

Just as Lin Wan'er was about to make Xiao Jiu stay, Lin Cheng suddenly became anxious and stood up to defend himself. Although he didn't say that Xiao Jiu was scheming, it was still more effective than saying that Xiao Chen was scheming directly.

Although he had a bet with Xiao Jiu, when faced with such a trash who was only at the first level of Qi Refining, as long as he could win Xiao Jian's confidence, he would be able to take the wager without a problem.

This was the world where strength was respected.

"Lin Cheng ge, this is a matter between my sister and me, can you be quiet?" It's not like I'm asking you to protect me! "

Lin Wan'er looked at Lin Cheng with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. Lin Wan'er was already dissatisfied with Lin Cheng's words.

She didn't know why, but this Big Brother Broken Water whom Lin City had always been targeting from the very beginning had made her suspect that the real culprit was not Xiao Jiu, but the Lin City in front of her.

This Lin City was simply too annoying.

"Big sister, just let big brother Xiao Jiu stay with us, okay?"

Lin Wan'er walked up to Lin Jing and asked. Although Lin Jing was asking for her opinion, she knew that this group would only be decided if her sister told them.

When Lin Jing heard this, her gaze once again landed on Xiao Jiu. In between her brows, there seemed to be a trace of hesitation.
