At some point, the sky had completely darkened. In an area in the middle and outer reaches of the Star Forest, two strong old men were whispering to each other next to a bonfire.
"Old Bainiao, do you think he is from Wuhun Palace?"
"This is absolutely impossible, and don't you already believe him? You still ask me."
"That's true. Why do you think he is with a hundred thousand year soul beast? From the looks of it, those two soul beasts are clearly protecting him. Old White Bird, what do you think this young man is?"
"I don't know, but this is other people's privacy. It's not for us to pry. If he is willing to talk, we will listen. If he is not willing to talk, forget it. All we need to know is that he saved Xiangxiang, and he is not from Wuhun Palace.
He is a friend of our Po and Min tribes, and that is enough."
As Bai He spoke, he stirred the bonfire, picked out the charcoal from the fire that had lost all the smoke and open flames, and placed it under the big bluestone where Bai Chenxiang lay.
"Others, we will eventually know when we get in touch with him more deeply."
Yang Wudi, like Bai He, was also carrying smokeless and open-flame charcoal while chatting, and occasionally adding some new firewood to the campfire.
"That's true. He is really a mysterious young man, and so is his sister. Old White Bird, what do you think these brothers and sisters have done? Why haven't they come back after so long?"
"Why, are you envious of that young man?"
"It's better that you understand me. If I have such a spirit beast by my side, I can pick all kinds of poisonous grasses and medicinal herbs in this Star Dou Forest."
"That's right. Wherever precious medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs grow, there will definitely be powerful soul beasts guarding them. In this Star Dou Forest, for a medicine refining madman like you, it is the poisonous and medicinal herbs here that are more attractive to you."
Yang Wudi was noncommittal, and said with a slight smile, "Old Bainiao, that boy is the Fire Phoenix Spirit, and he saved Xiangxiang. Do you have any ideas?"
Bai Chenxiang was out of danger, Yang Wudi and Bai He also breathed a sigh of relief, and even had the mood to tease each other.
Bai He was slightly startled and looked at Bai Chenxiang, who was lying quietly on the big bluestone with a blanket covering her body. He looked away and glared at Yang Wudi in annoyance.
"If you don't have a single character, don't mess with this couple's story. After all, this young man and we just met by chance. Maybe he already has a confidante?"
Yang Wudi retorted, "You don't even dare to think about it, so how do you know that Xiangxiang has no chance? I think they are a perfect match. If it weren't for my grandson's poor talent, I would have asked you to book a baby and kiss him.
"
He could see that Lao Bainiao obviously had this idea. After all, that was a top-notch beast spirit, the best among fire-attribute spirits.
"You three old guys really have bad intentions, old goat, I tell you, don't even think about it."
Bai He was startled and glared at Yang Wudi fiercely as if guarding against a thief.
Niu Gao, Tai Tan, they thought about his granddaughter for their little calf and little monkey, but Bai He never expected that even Yang Wudi was thinking about his granddaughter for his half of a lamb.
Fortunately, the half of the lamb was too talented, and the old goat knew that the lamb was not worthy of his granddaughter. Otherwise, given his relationship with the other party, it would be difficult for him to refuse.
"Look how scared you are."
"..."
The bonfire danced, illuminating Bai He and Yang Wudi's expressions, which were somewhat uncertain, as they chatted wordlessly.
Next to the big bluestone, Bai He and Yang Wudi simply set up a tent to shield Bai Chenxiang from the night wind.
Under the big bluestone, which had been hollowed out by some sharp weapon, the big bluestone, which was as tall as half a man, looked somewhat like a stone bed. Under the stone bed was charcoal placed by Bai He and Yang Wudi.
There is no smoke, no open fire, and the burning charcoal makes the big bluestone a little warm, but it will not burn the white agarwood because it is too hot.
A blanket that is neither too thin nor too thick just covers the sleepy Bai Agarwood. After all, even if the climate here in the Star Forest is hot and humid, the nights are still relatively cool.
When Ma Hongjun came over, he happened to see Yang Wudi and Bai He adding charcoal under the stone bed.
"Two bad old men are pretty good at taking care of people."
Ma Hongjun complained in his heart, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He nodded secretly, smiled and said hello, "What are the two seniors talking about? They seem to be in good spirits."
Bai He stood up to greet her, smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a casual chat. Little brother, why didn't your sister come with you?"
Ma Hongjun walked to the tent, felt Bai Chenxiang's pulse, and said casually, "She prefers to be quiet, so she can practice there. Senior doesn't need to worry about her. Well, her breath is stable. Although she is still weak, it's not a big problem.
very good."
Bai He nodded slightly, the expression on his face became more and more relaxed. Seeing that Ma Hongjun was about to attack Bai Chenxiang again, he smiled and said, "Little brother, there is no rush to heal the injury. You haven't eaten yet? Come over here first. We brought some dry food."
, Let’s talk after eating.”
"Well, senior said, I happen to be hungry too. But I also brought dry food myself, so I won't bother the two seniors."
Ma Hongjun smiled slightly and did not refuse. He walked to the campfire and skillfully began to take things out of the flame ring.
Soul beast meat, fruits, vegetables, water, nourishing elixirs, pasta, pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches, etc. are all available.
"Little brother, what are you doing?"
Yang Wudi and Bai He's eyes twitched. The more they looked, the more surprised and speechless they became. Did they move the kitchen here? Or did they carry a kitchen with them?
Ma Hongjun had an embarrassed expression on his face, smiled shyly, and said in a low voice, "The teacher said that boys should take care of themselves when they go out, so they prepared these things for me. You two seniors, you can chat while I pack them up."
These will come quickly."
After setting up the iron pot with a stand, Ma Hongjun began to skillfully wash vegetables, cut vegetables, cut meat, etc. Everything seemed quite skillful and natural.
Bang bang bang!
Dang Dang Dang!
Bai He and Yang Wudi stared at Ma Hongjun's skillful movements, then listened to the roar of beasts in the distance, and then looked at the young man wielding a knife on the cutting board beside the bonfire. No matter what they looked at, they were shocked.
How weird it feels.
The soul beast meat was hunted when he obtained the soul ring in the Sunset Forest last time. Apart from the refined blood essence and the part given to the Shrek Academy cafeteria, Ma Hongjun also left some for him as a spare for emergencies.
But even so, after going all the way to Wuhun City last time, he didn't have much soul beast meat left on his body.
"Little brother, are you like this every time you go out?" Bai He couldn't help but ask.
Ma Hongjun smiled slightly, kept moving his hands, raised his head and said, "Yes, when you go out, if you don't want to wrong yourself, you have to fend for yourself."
Bai He opened his mouth, then looked as if he had just seen the Chongming Bird on Ma Hongjun's shoulder, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Yang Wudi stood up and picked up a few nourishing elixirs placed on Ma Hongjun's cutting board. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes and he said in surprise, "Little brother, you also know how to refine elixirs?"
Ma Hongjun smiled slightly and said casually, "I don't dare to say that I understand, I can only say that I know a little bit. After all, during the process of cultivation, if a soul master can eat nutritious meals on a daily basis, it can still play some supporting role in his cultivation.
.”
"Indeed, it seems that my little brother also comes from a famous family. I wonder who your sect or your family is?"
Yang Wudi nodded in agreement, but he did not doubt what Ma Hongjun said. After all, in his opinion, Ma Hongjun looked similar to Bai Chenxiang. At this age, his current performance was enough to surprise him, and even more
No need to say anything else.
Bai He's eyes twitched. He looked at Ma Hongjun's clothes, then at the soul beast meat and nourishing elixir on the cutting board. He secretly touched his slightly bulging money bag and said nothing.
He roughly estimated that if Ma Hongjun eats the way he sees it now, even if his small thoughts really come true, his sensitive clan will not be able to raise this gold-swallowing beast.
Ma Hongjun smiled, shook his head, and whispered, "Senior, I have misunderstood. This boy is not from a famous family, he is just a poor boy from the countryside."
Yang Wudi and Bai He had smiles on their faces, with just the words "disbelief" and "hehe" plastered directly on their faces. However, as they said before, since Ma Hongjun didn't want to talk, they were sensible enough not to ask any more questions.
Ma Hongjun glanced at the two of them, smiled slightly, and said solemnly, "Master Flanders, one of the Golden Triangle, a student of Shrek Academy, has now graduated."
"Flender, the Golden Triangle, Shrek Academy."
Yang Wudi and Bai He pondered the information revealed by Ma Hongjun. Suddenly their eyes lit up and they said in unison, "Old orangutan."
"Yes, Tai Long and I are classmates, but we have graduated now." Ma Hongjun responded with a smile.
"Little brother, are you really a civilian soul master?"
Except for Ma Hongjun's own martial spirit, Yang Wudi and Bai He had no doubts about his words.
Ma Hongjun nodded and shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I am a mutated martial spirit, born as a commoner, but I am no longer a commoner."
"What do you mean?" Yang Wudi and Bai He were confused.
Ma Hongjun did not answer, but asked, "Senior Bai He, I have a question for you. Eleven or twelve years ago, did you take Miss Bai through a town called Qingyang Town?"
