Shui Han did not wish to be used. Suddenly, a mischievous thought crossed her mind, and she slowly stood up and walked down the mountain.
Mo Qi naturally rose without hesitation and followed.
A faint, imperceptible smile flickered across Shui Han’s lips.
If anyone had seen it, they would have found it astonishing!
Alas, no one did!
Shui Han walked all the way into the midst of the Wang family’s entourage, and Mo Qi, as expected, followed without hesitation.
Lu Feng, Dongmen Butong, Ximen Tong, and Tang Jiayan of the Wang family were desperately trying to devise a plan to escape. Being constantly watched by the four members of the Xin family was not a viable option.
If they didn’t find a way to change the situation, they would have to give up the competition.
Meanwhile, Ge Jia’s Fu Chuande had already found many spirit stones. Time was ticking away, and the distance between them and him was growing. It would become increasingly difficult to catch up later.
And at this moment, Shui Han arrived!
Someone else followed behind her!
They thought she was just passing by, but the two continued to follow.
What was going on?
The four members of the Xin family were utterly bewildered, looking at each other.
Could it be that Miss Shui Han thought they were too arrogant and deliberately came over to warn them?
At the same time, the four members of the Wang family had the same thought. They believed Shui Han had come to protect them.
Thus, the four were overjoyed and began to act. They started searching for spirit stones in the forest and putting them into their storage bags. Da Feng Novel Network.
Ji Wei, Qiang Senrui, Dou Jing, and Yuan Jiadong of the Xin family were indeed intimidated and dared not step forward to snatch them.
The four then began to collect spirit stones with the ferocity of a whirlwind.
Shui Han’s true intention was to bring Mo Qi in front of the four Xin family members, expose his “Little Dot’s” actions of searching for spirit stones to everyone, and have them all attack him and seize his spirit stones.
Unexpectedly, Little Dot never returned. Coincidentally, she ended up helping the Wang family.
What surprised Shui Han even more was that Mo Qi was no longer idle. He also entered the forest, searching for spirit stones everywhere, and frequently put them into his storage bag.
Ji Wei and the others were hesitant to act, fearing repercussions.
Shui Han felt she had miscalculated again!
By coming over, she was still helping him!
She gritted her teeth in anger and then swept away into the distance.
Mo Qi immediately swept away and chased after her.
The four members of the Wang family, seeing their “backer” had fled, were greatly alarmed and quickly pursued in the direction Shui Han had gone.
The four members of the Xin family also immediately pursued.
Ximen Tong and Dongmen Butong of the Wang family suddenly turned around and smiled at the four: “Where are you four generals going?”
Ji Wei and the other four also stopped. Unwilling to appear like overbearing bandits, they put on a friendly expression: “This is a competition, so conflict is inevitable. You two are certainly no match for us. Surrender them willingly to avoid an unpleasant scene and unnecessary physical pain.”
Dongmen Butong said, “Since it’s a competition, we must settle it with our skills. If you four truly defeat us, we will gladly hand over the spirit stones with both hands.”
Qiang Senrui chuckled, “If you don’t fight, you have to hand them over. If you fight and lose, you still have to hand them over. Why go through the trouble? Do you have a masochistic tendency?”
Ximen Tong said with a serious expression, “This is a matter of attitude. Handing them over without a fight is laziness. Losing after a fight is a matter of ability, at least you’ve tried your best, and no one will criticize you when you return.”
Dou Jing suddenly said with a grim expression, “That’s not right. They are stalling for time. Where are the other two?”
Qiang Senrui also realized something was wrong and immediately said to Ji Wei, “You and Dou Jing go find those two. I’ll stay here with Yuan Jiadong to guard these two.”
As Ji Wei and Dou Jing were about to chase Lu Feng and Tang Jiayan, they suddenly saw a light screen rise in front of them and disappear in an instant.
Ximen Tong laughed heartily, “I don’t think you need to go. They have already sent those spirit stones out through the teleportation array. Faced with your formidable lineup, we naturally had to have some preparation.”
The four members of the Xin family were so angry they wanted to jump, wishing they could kill these two. However, it was just a competition, and they couldn’t act like bandits and kill people if they couldn’t snatch something.
They glared fiercely at them, but were helpless.
Shui Han sped for a while and then found another place to sit and rest.
Mo Qi walked over again and sat down three zhang away from her.
As soon as he sat down, Little Dot crawled out from a crack in the rocks again and gave the storage bag it was carrying to Mo Qi. Mo Qi gave it an empty storage bag in return.
Little Dot left again. Shui Han looked at Mo Qi, her eyes flashing with a cold glint.
Mo Qi acted as if he hadn’t seen it, leaning back and lying on the grass.
He even plucked a blade of grass and chewed on it.
“Do you know you are really annoying?” Shui Han couldn’t help but say.
“Hmm?” Mo Qi turned his head to look at her. “Miss Shui Han, are you talking to me?”
Shui Han paused. There were only the two of them here. If she wasn’t talking to him, who was she talking to?
She detested such meaningless communication the most.
Why explain something that was perfectly clear?
Yet, she couldn’t help but say, “Yes!”
“I didn’t know before, but I know now,” Mo Qi said emotionlessly.
Shui Han’s heart stirred like dead water rippling. He actually admitted it so readily? Was he giving up on himself?
Just then, Little Dot let out a joyful cry, and at the same time, a brilliant white light shot up into the sky from that location.
Something valuable must have been discovered.
Mo Qi flipped over and got up, immediately using his Golden Light Teleportation technique to head towards where Little Dot had made its sound.
Shui Han also realized that the little demonic beast might have discovered something. After hesitating for a moment, she chased after him.
When Mo Qi arrived, he saw Little Dot holding a piece of stone as smooth as jade in its mouth. It was crystal clear, with a thin layer of white mist on its surface, and a faint humming sound, as if it had life and was gently trembling.
It was clearly not an ordinary spirit stone!
Little Dot wagged its tail, looking as if it was seeking praise.
Mo Qi took the spirit stone and felt a continuous stream of spiritual energy flowing into his body.
Just then, several figures suddenly arrived and landed in front of Mo Qi.
It was Xin family’s Qiang Senrui, Dou Jing, Ji Wei, and Yuan Jiadong!
These four had rushed over as soon as they saw the anomaly.
Their eyes widened when they saw what Mo Qi was holding.
Qiang Senrui’s tongue was twisted: “It, it, it’s the Heavenly Profound Origin Stone. Refining it directly can greatly increase one’s cultivation.”
Dou Jing got straight to the point: “Hand it over!”
Mo Qi patted Little Dot, letting it leave. Then he raised his head and looked at Dou Jing like an old monster: “Why? Why should I hand it over?”
Dou Jing coldly snorted, “A man’s downfall is due to his possession of a treasure.”
Mo Qi retorted sharply, “If you were holding it, wouldn’t you also be guilty?”
“I am not a common man,” Dou Jing immediately found the flaw in his words.
“You are!”
“I am not.”
“You are!”
…
Qiang Senrui waved his hand, “Stop talking nonsense with him.” He then looked at Mo Qi, “Are you going to hand it over or not?”
In his words, a chilling glint appeared in his eyes.
Mo Qi assessed the situation. Four cultivators at the True Immortal realm. Any one of them could give him trouble, let alone all four of them ganging up on him!
A wise man knows when to retreat, but he couldn’t just hand over such a good find!
Just then, Shui Han walked over.
Mo Qi shouted loudly, “You are too shameless! I found this first, why should I give it to you? Even if I agreed to give it to you, Miss Shui Han wouldn’t!”
The four pairs of eyes turned towards Shui Han in unison.
Shui Han was stunned. She thought, “He’s using me as a shield again. I won’t be your shield.”
With that thought, Shui Han turned around and flew away.
Her turning around had already signaled her stance, and the four were overjoyed.
Mo Qi hurriedly used his Golden Light Teleportation technique to chase after her.
Their movement techniques were faster than anyone else’s. They quickly escaped the pursuit of the four and landed on the ground.
Mo Qi took out the origin stone, sat down, and activated his Fire Divine ability. The origin stone turned red in his palm, and streams of spiritual energy flowed into his body like water.
Shui Han watched him refine the origin stone as if no one else was around and couldn’t help but let out a cold snort, “You’re quite trusting, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid I’ll snatch your things too?”
Mo Qi was unable to divide his attention at this moment and couldn’t answer her question. Instead, he closed his eyes, seemingly answering her question with his actions.
In his opinion, someone who was willing to sacrifice themselves to ease everyone’s conflict would not take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state.
“Hmph!” Shui Han snorted coldly and slowly walked towards Mo Qi.
The chilling aura emanating from her body gradually approached.
