Opposite, the teenagers from Dilongmen also took out some food such as sesame cakes and dried meat from their soul guides, and baked and heated them next to the campfire before filling their stomachs.
At the same time, they were also carefully looking at Xu Zihuang, who was sitting on the other side of the bonfire with cold eyes.
Those dark purple eyes that looked extremely clear, with the firelight reflecting in them, looked like leaping elves.
After leaving Shrek Academy, Xu Zihuang took off all his previous disguises.
He is his truest self now.
Indifferent, respected and precious beyond words.
Although these young men from Dilongmen are more talented than the younger generation in the sect, they are destined to become Xu Zihuang's foil here.
Sitting aside, the graceful Nan Shuishui has never taken his eyes away from Xu Zihuang since he saw him. The same pink eyes as Nan Qiuqiu's are filled with light, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
.
Xu Zihuang swallowed the tender black-scaled chicken leg meat that he had cut into his belly, and looked at Nan Shuishui appropriately and politely.
"Senior Nan, do you have any advice?"
"I'm not talking about advice, I'm just a little curious about how you came to Sunset Forest alone, young man." Nan Shuishui came back to his senses and smiled slightly, sinking the thought in his heart.
Xu Zihuang does look a lot like an old friend of hers, but she still has doubts.
Is there really such a coincidence in this world?
There are tens of millions of people on the mainland, and it is not impossible for two people who are not related by blood to look similar.
Perhaps it was because she had not seen her old friend for fourteen years since that goodbye, which made her too sensitive.
Xu Zihuang did not respond, but cut off a piece of roasted chicken with a dagger and chewed it carefully.
Although Nan Shuishui was well hidden before, Xu Zihuang, who possesses the spiritual attribute of the Golden Child Martial Spirit, observed even more carefully and discovered some strange things about Nan Shuishui.
Moreover, Nan Shuishui and his mother were both from Longcheng and were similar in age.
Combining these and thinking about it, an idea comes to mind.
It is very likely that Nan Shuishui is familiar with his mother. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, it is better to speak as little as possible.
His identity is too sensitive.
When you go out, especially near places where wild spirit beasts gather, such vigilant behavior is very common sense and does not appear to be out of the ordinary.
Nan Shuishui understands this, but it does not mean that others do the same.
Xu Shenshu, a sturdy black-haired boy who was leaning next to Feng Shen, wanted to get up and question him dissatisfiedly, but was held down by Feng Shen.
"Feng Shen, why are you stopping me? The sect master put down his posture and asked nicely. What's his attitude? He is so disrespectful to the sect master. He doesn't take our dragon sect seriously."
Disciples like them who come from a sect with a long history have always had a sense of superiority.
Their Dragon Sect is also ranked among the most powerful sects in the Heavenly Soul Empire, which further strengthens the superiority in his heart.
He did not lower his voice, and it reached everyone's ears clearly in this silent wilderness.
As he spoke, he glared at Xu Zihuang, his eyes widening.
His actions immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone present. Even Nan Qiuqiu, who was carrying the antidote to Xiao Ye, turned his head and looked over. His eyes rolled, and a hint of cunning flashed in his pink eyes.
However, Xu Zihuang acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't even look at him. He still calmly handled the roast chicken in front of him.
But his calm look made Xu Shenshu furious. For him personally, being ignored like this was even more unbearable.
After all, he is also one of the top talents among the younger generation of Dilongmen.
Just when Nan Shuishui frowned and was about to say something to stop this farce, Nan Qiuqiu's voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone.
"Mom, my soul power has been consumed too much and I can't hold on any longer. The toxins in Xiao Ye's body haven't been removed yet. Please help me."
As she spoke, she pretended that her soul power was excessively exhausted, and stroked her smooth forehead with her free jade hand. Her voice sounded weak when she spoke. It really looked like that.
Xiao Ye, who was the only one to notice the clue, had a look of surprise in his eyes. However, Nan Qiuqiu was right in front of him, and no one could see his facial expression clearly.
Nan Qiuqiu raised her eyebrows at Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye, who was very familiar with this eldest sister, had no choice but to cooperate with Nan Qiuqiu silently due to the majesty she had accumulated in the sect for a long time.
Nan Shuishui couldn't help but stood up and walked over with a look of concern on his face.
The annihilation attribute of the Rouge Dragon martial spirit passed down by their family can indeed eliminate various toxins, but what Xiao Ye hit was the poison of the Seven-Jue Phosphorus Flower, which is also the top poison in plants.
It was related to Xiao Ye's life, so she couldn't help but take it seriously.
"I told you not to pay attention to your usual practice. When you return to the sect this time, you will practice in seclusion for a while until I am satisfied." Nan Shuishui did not forget to take this opportunity to give his daughter a good beating.
Nan Qiuqiu looked aggrieved, but in fact she didn't take it to heart at all.
Over the past many years, Nan Shuishui has said this countless times.
Passing by Nan Shuishui, she seemed to have changed her face, a bright smile blooming on her pretty face.
He walked happily to the bonfire and waved his hand to Xu Shenshu, who looked angry.
"Sister." The anger in Xu Shenshu's eyes dissipated a lot in an instant.
But seeing Nan Qiuqiu's next behavior, not only him, but the emotions of several other teenagers were also ignited.
The reason why they leave everything up to Nan Qiuqiu is never just out of pure awe.
Nan Qiuqiu came to Xu Zihuang's side with a familiar look. She hugged her knees with her arms and squatted down, her plump chest rising and falling. Her eyes were shining, and she tilted her head and looked at Xu Zihuang lively.
The distance between two people should not exceed three inches at most.
Xu Zihuang could even clearly smell the faint fragrance on his body.
Nan Qiuqiu, who originally just wanted to tease Xu Zihuang, got closer and realized that Xu Zihuang's flawless profile was so impeccable that it really touched her aesthetic taste.
I was immersed in it unconsciously and lost my mind for a while.
Well——, this guy is so good-looking.
She suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.
The roasted black-scale chicken was set up not far away, and the rich aroma of the meat lingered in her nose, making her wake up from a dream. She exclaimed in wonder: "The roast chicken in front of you smells so good."
After saying this, she looked directly at Xu Zihuang deliberately.
But Xu Zihuang was still minding his own business, cutting off a piece of tender and oily chicken, chewing and swallowing, and so on.
It lasted for several minutes without any response from Xu Zihuang, and Nan Qiuqiu's neck felt a little sore. The other six Longmen teenagers, including Xiao Ye, stared at Xu Zihuang and Nan Qiuqiu.
, the atmosphere became very strange for a while.
"You are such an incomprehensible guy. Shouldn't you take the initiative to ask me if I want to eat at this time? Are you a man?" Nan Qiuqiu, who has always been doted on by her elders and admired by her peers, is the oldest sister in the family.
His temper suddenly broke.
Nan Qiuqiu stood up, her almond-shaped eyes widening in a condescending manner.
There was no fluctuation in Xu Zihuang's deep eyes. He glanced at Nan Qiuqiu indifferently, then withdrew his gaze again. He continued to cut off a piece of black-scale chicken with a dagger.
No one is qualified to serve him, including Nan Qiuqiu.
He has no habit of being a bitch to please others.
"There are one hundred gold soul coins in the bag. Is it enough to buy your roast chicken?" Xu Shenshu roared angrily, his soul power surged throughout his body. When a heavy money bag was thrown towards Xu Zihuang, his right hand was wrapped in black soul power.
He grabbed the black-scale chicken that was roasted to a crisp and fragrant with oil.
He didn't know whether it was because he was dissatisfied with Xu Zihuang's attitude of being neither salty nor indifferent, or because Nan Qiuqiu's behavior with Xu Zihuang just now was too close, which made him feel a little offended.
Or maybe both.
Xu Shenshu stomped the ground heavily with his right foot, and his body was already violently rising. Although he had not released his martial spirit yet, due to the great force, all the bones in his body were crackling.
All this happened in a flash, and even Feng Shen next to Xu Shenshu didn't have time to stop it. Perhaps, he had no intention of stopping it at all.
But something unexpected happened.
Xu Shenshu's outstretched right hand was tightly held by Xu Zihuang. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break free, and his face turned red.
Xu Zihuang stood up. Although his figure was not as strong as Xu Shenshu's, he suppressed him in terms of momentum.
The money bag fell at Xu Zihuang's feet, making a crashing sound. Only then did everyone react and looked at Xu Zihuang in disbelief.
They grew up with Xu Shenshu and know his power very well.
Among the entire younger generation of Dilongmen, Xu Shenshu's talent may not be the best, but in terms of strength alone, no one can surpass him.
Xu Zihuang looked at Xu Shenshu calmly, and crushed Xu Shenshu's palm with his right hand, making clear bones cracking sounds.
"Who do you think you are? If you want to buy it, I have to sell it?"
"Roar!" Xu Shenshu's chest heaved violently, and he looked up to the sky and shouted. He became so angry that he directly released his martial spirit under Xu Zihuang's pressure.
His body expanded rapidly, and a layer of black horn appeared on the surface of his skin, and bulges bulged out on his back. As the bulges ruptured, thick and sharp dorsal fins appeared.
Like Nan Qiuqiu, he has the best soul ring ratio of two yellow and one purple. This is also a major advantage of joining a soul master sect.
His martial spirit is the saber-toothed earth dragon, a pure strength spirit beast. It is good at both offense and defense, but its disadvantage is that it is not good at long-range attacks.
As soon as he stretched out his arms, he broke free from Xu Zihuang's grasp in an instant, revealing his majestic chest muscles. Then, a layer of saber-tooth-shaped protrusions appeared on the outer edges of both of his arms.
He suddenly rushed towards Xu Zihuang.
Looking at it like that, if it were hit, I'm afraid the muscles would be broken immediately.
With a powerful earth dragon martial spirit, coupled with his own level 40 soul power, he is worthy of being a disciple of a large sect.
But when he faced Xu Zihuang, his tragedy was doomed.
A bright golden light flashed from Xu Zihuang's eyes, and the originally dark purple eyes instantly turned into bright gold. A powerful wave of soul power that was not inferior to Xu Shenshu swept over, causing the bonfire in the middle of the two people to beat crazily.
, the surrounding flowers, plants and trees move automatically without wind.
In his erratic body shape, Xu Shenshu didn't even see Xu Zihuang's movements clearly when he was hit by a knee heavily on his abdomen. Even under the amplification of the martial soul's possession, he staggered.
And when he raised his head again, the tip of a short blade with violent deep purple lightning was pressed against the tip of his throat.
Facing Xu Zihuang's indifferent eyes, his eyes were erratic. Faced with the crisis of death, he was afraid.
Nan Qiuqiu and the five nearest Earth Dragon Gate youths all stood up and released their martial souls. They were all two yellow and one purple, the best combination of soul rings.
At this time, Nan Qiuqiu's expression also changed. It didn't matter how willful she was usually, but now she had to take the initiative to protect Xu Shenshu's life.
"Let go of Xu Shenshu!"
This is the iron rule of the sect.
This is one of the reasons why the cohesion of the soul master sect with a long tradition is so strong.
"That's enough!" A soft shout came, and Nan Shuishui walked over, with surprise and doubt in her beautiful eyes.
She had actually noticed the situation here for a long time, but she didn't stop it immediately just to verify her initial suspicion.
It can only be said that part of it was within her expectation and part was beyond her expectation.
As expected, although she did not see what Xu Zihuang's martial spirit was, she could feel that after using the martial spirit, Xu Zihuang obviously did not have the aura of the dragon-like martial spirit. Facts have proved that all this is
coincide.
What she didn't expect was that Xu Zihuang looked two or three years younger than her daughter, but his soul power was not compromised. Moreover, his essence was restrained, and his soul power was far more concentrated than her daughter's.
above.
More importantly, he has rich combat experience and instantly subdued Xu Shenshu, who was ranked among the top three in strength among the younger generation of Dilongmen. He even managed to release his martial soul without revealing his soul ring.
With such a profound foundation, one could tell that he was the kind of genius who came from a top soul master sect.
Seeing Xu Zihuang, who had no emotional fluctuations from beginning to end, she began to wonder if there was a top-notch Titled Douluo-level person around who was secretly protecting Xu Zihuang.
Thinking of this, she felt scared for a while.
Then she sincerely apologized to Xu Zihuang: "Young man, I apologize to you on behalf of Shenshu. This matter is our fault. I will use the reputation of the entire Dilongmen as a guarantee and will do my best to compensate you. You have
If you have any requests, feel free to make them."
"Then Master Nanmen, please remember what you said today. I hope you won't shirk when I come to make my request." Xu Zihuang took back the short-blade whale tooth and remained calm in the strange eyes of everyone.
He sat down by the campfire again.
"Of course, as long as we can do it, we will definitely satisfy you." Nan Shuishui nodded solemnly.
Xu Zihuang's calm attitude made her even more determined in her previous thoughts.
Then Jiang glanced at his daughter again, compared the two, and couldn't help but sigh sadly in his heart.
Why is the gap so big?
