"Hmph! I have no reason to be prejudiced against you," Xie Qiye said fiercely.
He turned to look at Yun Lang beside him, knowing that the meager firewood would hardly last until dawn.
"Brother Yun Lang, wait here for me."
"Alright, but be careful," Yun Lang reminded him.
Whether Han Weiguo's words were true or not, the secret realm was full of hidden dangers.
A slight carelessness could indeed lead to trouble.
This was precisely why they had to be cautious everywhere, as they had no idea how many powerful experts might be lurking.
"Don't worry, I won't be like a good-for-nothing."
"You..."
Before Han Weiguo could finish speaking, Xie Qiye had already left the scene.
He had his own plans, and his thoughts were clear. If real danger arose, things might not be so simple.
"Brother Han, what did you discover just now?" Yun Lang inquired.
Since he claimed to have discovered something, it was likely true.
However, Yun Lang was somewhat puzzled. This was a secret realm, how could anyone be hiding here?
"I... I saw a figure, it disappeared behind me suddenly."
"What?"
"You saw behind you..."
Yun Lang was utterly speechless.
He hadn't expected him to say such nonsensical things, claiming to have seen something behind him.
"Yes... yes, it was in the blink of an eye."
"Alright... alright, alright," Yun Lang interrupted.
He might believe him about other things, but when it came to these words, the situation was different.
Regardless of anything, they understood the issues they faced and had no doubt about the trouble at hand.
"You... you don't believe me?" Han Weiguo asked.
He hadn't lied, but the tone of the other party clearly indicated doubt.
"Of course I believe you, but as you said, let's see when we encounter it," Yun Lang replied, shaking his head.
He could believe other things, but what he said was somewhat unacceptable.
If he had seen it in front of him, it would have been forgivable.
"I..."
"Alright, I think Qiye is coming back," Yun Lang interrupted.
Before he could say more, he walked forward.
"Where is this strange figure you speak of? Utter nonsense."
Xie Qiye said indignantly.
When he had gone earlier, he had wanted to investigate the situation as described.
However, he had shouted there for a long time and found no abnormality.
"Strange, could I have been mistaken..." Han Weiguo wondered.
But he had clearly seen it, so why had it vanished?
He couldn't help but wonder if he was too nervous and had experienced a hallucination.
However, it was unlikely that he had mistaken it.
"Alright, alright, stop the nonsense," Xie Qiye said impatiently.
He directly threw the firewood on the ground and began to build a fire.
"Han Weiguo, since you were separated from Jiang Feng and the others, you should tell us their whereabouts."
"This..." Han Weiguo hesitated.
Thinking of the blood bats made him a little worried.
If they were all going to that cave, who knew what dangers lay within?
"You're not deliberately concealing their whereabouts to deal with us, are you?"
"No, no, no! I... I didn't mean that," Han Weiguo quickly explained.
He was afraid that Xie Qiye's words would make Yun Lang suspicious.
If they then decided to deal with him, the situation would be rather unfavorable.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. But if we do this, won't we attract other demonic beasts?"
"Ah?" Han Weiguo was stunned.
He looked down at the bonfire, and indeed, the light here might attract other demonic beasts.
"Then... then let's extinguish it."
"Nonsense! Extinguishing it is even more dangerous," Xie Qiye said urgently.
If demonic beasts attacked them, they wouldn't even be able to discern their location, let alone have any good outcome.
"This..." Han Weiguo hesitated.
Thinking carefully, what they said was indeed correct. Any carelessness would certainly pose a great threat.
"Then what should we do?"
Han Weiguo was worried about danger. When he first came to the secret realm, he had only wanted to take a shortcut.
"Let nature take its course. Are the three of us afraid of demonic beasts?"
Yun Lang said indignantly.
The more he saw Han Weiguo's expression, the more annoyed he became.
He was clearly capable, yet he was constantly fearful of the present situation.
If this continued, what future could they possibly have? They might as well return to the Taichu Sect.
"I..."
"Han Weiguo, don't forget that we are here on a mission," Yun Lang urged.
Even with the best temper, seeing such a cowardly person like Han Weiguo, he couldn't control himself.
They had agreed to be prepared, but instead, they were constantly worried.
"Alright! I... I understand."
With so many things happening, no matter what, they couldn't refute them.
If there was danger in the future, no one would be able to accept it.
"Hmph! It's a waste of breath to talk to him," Xie Qiye said disdainfully.
He understood Han Weiguo's character well. He usually acted superior.
That was only towards those weaker than him.
As soon as he saw someone stronger than him in the inner sect, he would immediately go to greet them.
Fawning and shameless.
"Xie Qiye, I, Han Weiguo, believe I have never offended you."
"Yes! You haven't offended me, otherwise, you wouldn't be qualified to be here," Xie Qiye replied sarcastically.
He had wanted to teach him a lesson at the Taichu Sect back then, but due to sect rules, he couldn't.
However, the situation was different in the secret realm. Even if he killed him, no one would pursue responsibility.
"Xie Qiye! If you have the guts, let's have a match."
"Compete with you?" Xie Qiye shook his head. "You're not worthy of fighting me."
Upon hearing this, even Han Weiguo, who had been trying hard to control his emotions, could no longer bear it.
"Bastard!"
"Stop!"
Just then, Yun Lang suddenly shouted to stop them.
"We cannot act like this. Don't forget the purpose of our coming to the secret realm. If you want to fight, wait until we return to the Taichu Sect and let the Peak Lords decide."
"Hmph!"
Han Weiguo said anxiously.
He himself had been yielding, but Xie Qiye had been relentlessly provoking him.
"Brother Yun Lang, what shall we do tonight?"
Xie Qiye asked, confused.
The situation was clear. If danger truly approached, it would undoubtedly be trouble for them.
