Seeing this panicked girl running in, Xiao Chen stood with his hands behind his back, motionless. The long hair behind his shoulders was gently raised in the wind.

Ruoshui didn’t expect that there was actually someone else in the valley. Although she didn’t know who the other party was, she couldn’t care less now. She ran up and said, “Big brother, save me. There are bad people chasing after me …”

“There’s a dead end ahead. Let’s see where you’re going this time …”

Behind them, He Chongtian and Xu Taichang also chased after her. However, when they saw the white-haired young man beside the young girl, they felt as if they had seen a ghost. They were immediately frightened to the point that their souls flew into the sky and their souls scattered into the nine heavens.

“Xiao … Xiao …”

He Chongtian was so frightened that he couldn’t speak clearly. At this moment, his mind seemed to be filled with paste. With a buzz, he didn’t know anything. He just stood there in a daze. Before he could say the word “Xiao”, Xu Taichang quickly covered his mouth and pulled him away.

The secluded valley gradually regained its calm. Ruoshui did not expect that these two people’s abilities were not small. How could they be so frightened? Who was this person beside them? Why was he standing alone in this valley?

“Then … well, big brother, thank you for saving me. I still don’t know your name …”

Ruoshui opened his big eyes and looked at the white-haired man in front of him. His heart suddenly beat non-stop. How could there be such a cold and handsome man in the world? Who was he?

“Why are those two chasing you?”

Xiao Chen looked in the direction where Xu Taichang and He Chongtian had escaped and asked indifferently. At this moment, he was still standing with his hands behind his back. If he wanted to attack just now, the two of them would have grown wings and would never be able to escape.

“Ah … they … they …”

Ruoshui looked at the cold and handsome man in front of him and slowly regained his senses. He said, “I accidentally overheard them talking. That’s why they chased after me all the way.”

“Oh …”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were still indifferent. The reason why Cangfeng Valley’s people came here was obviously because of the power of the cold pool. However, he didn’t need to worry at all.

“The two of them are gone. You can go now.”

As Xiao Chen spoke, he turned around and went to the other side of the valley. Ruoshui hurriedly chased after him, “Hey, wait, big brother, I don’t know your name yet. You just saved me, I still have to thank you.”

“No need.”

Xiao Chen walked forward. At this moment, he didn’t know what kind of feeling he felt in his heart. His ears echoed over and over again. Ten years ago, he said, “Today, our master-disciple relationship is over. Let’s go …”

Today, our master-disciple relationship is over. You can leave now …

“Big brother, what’s wrong with you?”

The young girl chased after him again. At this moment, it was unknown whether it was an illusion or something. It was as if she saw a lonely flash across his cold and stern face.

Suddenly, the young girl was also dazed. His eyes were so cold, but behind the ice-cold, there was an invisible loneliness carved on them. Who exactly was he … that senior apprentice-brother that he had never met before, was he as lonely as he was?

Just like this, at dusk, when the young girl was still following behind him, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly, “Why are you still following me?”

“Ah …”

Ruoshui raised his head and blinked at him, “Big brother, where are you going?”

“Inner Mountain.”

“Inner Mountain …”

Ruoshui stood on tiptoe and looked at the vast green mountain range in front of him. He frowned and said, “I want to go to the inner mountain too, but I can’t. Otherwise, big brother will take me with him.”

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the girl in front of him. His face was still as calm as water. “Inside the inner mountain, it’s extremely dangerous. You little girl, what are you doing there?”

“I…”

Ruoshui lowered his head and whispered, “I went to the inner mountain to see someone, but I don’t know if he will go or if he will recognize me if he sees me …”

“You don’t know anything, just barge into the mountain like this. If you lose your life because of it, is it worth it?” Xiao Chen looked at her and said slowly.

“I…”

Ruoshui lowered his head and wrapped his hair around his fingers. His voice became even lower, “I don’t know, I don’t even know what he looks like. I’ve never seen him before …”

“Boom!”

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion. Immediately after, beansized raindrops fell down. The entire mountain became misty. Xiao Chen stood there motionlessly. Ruoshui raised his head and said, “It’s … raining.”

When she raised her head, she happened to collide with Xiao Chen’s line of sight. She stood there blankly for a while before she reacted. She hurriedly took out an umbrella to cover him from the rain and said, “Big brother, it’s raining.”

Before Xiao Chen could speak, he turned around and walked deeper into the mountain range. The girl immediately followed him. Under the heavy rain, the mountain path became even more muddy and difficult to walk. Only then did Xiao Chen find a cave to hide from the rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Ruoshui’s clothes were a little wet from the rain, and his hair was on his face. He looked even more adorable.

Xiao Chen stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the boundless rain outside. Originally, he could enter the inner mountain on a single day. If the rain didn’t stop, it would probably take him three days to enter.

Standing behind him, Ruoshui naturally didn’t know what he was thinking. He said, “It’s raining heavily outside. Big brother, come in. Otherwise, you’ll get caught in the rain …”

Xiao Chen remained silent. The night passed just like this. The next morning, the heavy rain stopped temporarily. Ruoshui followed him closely. Fortunately, after the night, the Wind Riding Orb recovered a little bit of Spiritual Energy. Otherwise, it would not be able to keep up with his speed.

Just like that, the sky finally cleared up on the third day. When he looked up, he saw clouds scattering in the sky, and the multicolored light was tens of thousands of feet long. The one hiding in the depths of the mountain range was the inner mountain of the Xiqi Mountain Range.

Inside the mountain, there were many poisonous miasma swamps, insects, ants, and ferocious beasts. Ordinary people would most likely die if they entered. Even if they were cultivators with profound cultivation, no one would dare to easily enter the mountain for thousands of years. It was only because of the news of the Eye of Spirit Veins that so many people from the Righteous and Demonic Daos were attracted to it.

When dusk fell, the two of them arrived at a swamp forest. Miasma soared into the sky in front of them. For thousands of years, this miasma had condensed into layers of extremely powerful poisonous miasma barriers. No one dared to enter unless they were highly skilled in the Dao.

“Big brother, there’s no way ahead. What should we do …”

Ruoshui looked at the miasma in front of her. Even though she had many magic treasures protecting her, she did not dare to easily enter such a dangerous place.

“Follow me.”

Xiao Chen swiped his finger and a layer of azure light shrouded her body. He tapped his feet and flew into the poisonous miasma. The poisonous miasma that was originally frightening and frightening, when they met him, it continuously spread to both sides. It was as if it was blocked by an invisible force and was unable to penetrate her body.
