Chapter 107 Each with their own thoughts
Bai Yan and the others rushed to the cliff, where several people were already attacking Zi Zhuoyuan. Judging from their clothing, they should be from the Ye family. The Ye family had sent quite a few people this time, so it seemed they had come prepared.
"It's the Ye family? They really have their eyes on Zi Zhuoyuan." Seeing the Ye family members, Xuan Yuan Ning frowned. The Ye family was much more powerful than their Xuan Yuan family, and it wouldn't be easy to snatch something from them.
Zhou Feng was taken aback and instinctively hid behind Bai Yan. What kind of situation was this? He had only come to join in the fun, but he ended up running into two major families? The key was that they wanted to compete for something. With his small frame, who could he possibly offend?
"I say, let's run away. Whether it's the Ye family or the Xuanyuan family, we can't afford to offend them. If we stay here, we might become cannon fodder!" Zhou Feng silently transmitted his voice to Bai Yan, already planning how to escape.
Bai Yan casually retorted, "Do you think you can escape? Since you came with the Xuanyuan family, you can't get away with it."
"This..." Zhou Feng was filled with regret. He should have known better than to agree to come. What kind of mess is this now?
Just as they were secretly exchanging messages, the Ye family noticed the situation. Ye Lan flew over and hovered in mid-air, looking down at Xuan Yuanmingyue and the others. She first used her divine sense to scan them one by one, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Bai Yan and the other person's cultivation was low.
"So it's Sister Mingyue and Young Master Ning from the Xuanyuan family. What, Sister Mingyue, you've also taken a fancy to this Purple Blazing Iris?" Ye Lan was asking a question she already knew the answer to. Since they'd come all this way, what else could it be for but the Purple Blazing Iris?
Xuanyuan Mingyue was not in a hurry. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a faint smile. "Isn't my sister the same? But it seems that Zi Zhuoyuan is not so easy to deal with."
Judging from Ye Lan's situation, she had several people, but they were clearly no match for Zi Zhuoyuan. Under the scorching heat of the white flames, many of them could only retreat. If it weren't for the powerful magic weapon, they would probably have been burned to ashes long ago.
Clearly, this Purple Blazing Kite, though only a fledgling, possesses formidable power, and taming it will not be easy.
Ye Lan understood the implication in Xuan Yuanmingyue's words and asked with a light laugh, "What, does sister have a way?"
"If I can subdue her, will my sister stop fighting with me for her?"
"That depends on whether my sister really has a solution."
The two were playing coy, neither willing to back down. To put it bluntly, it was because Ye Lan couldn't win over Zi Zhuoyuan at the moment and didn't want to waste any more time. If Xuan Yuanmingyue had a solution, she wouldn't mind letting her try. As for who Zi Zhuoyuan would ultimately belong to, that was a matter for later.
"Why don't you try and see?" Xuan Yuanmingyue laughed, turned around and glanced at Xuan Yuanning, giving him a wink to signal him not to do anything rash. Xuan Yuanning naturally dared not disobey his elder sister's wishes and nodded silently.
Ye Lan first invited Xuan Yuanmingyue and the others to the cliff to take a look. They would only know how to proceed after seeing it.
Before going up, Zhou Feng was extremely unwilling, but he couldn't show it. He hesitated for a long time before weakly saying to Xuan Yuanmingyue, "Miss Mingyue, I think we should wait for you down there. The terrain up there is high and the temperature is high, which is not suitable for our cultivation level..."
He actually said that? Xuan Yuanmingyue turned around and looked at Zhou Feng in confusion. Was this senior really such a good actor? Could it be that the two of them wanted to secretly get their hands on Zi Zhuoyuan? That wouldn't do. If they couldn't establish a connection, wouldn't everything she had done be in vain?
Xuanyuan Mingyue smiled faintly and explained, "It's alright. I have the Azure Sky's Soaring Will protect you both. I will absolutely not let these flames burn you."
"This..." Zhou Feng really couldn't refuse, so he kept giving Bai Yan meaningful glances, but Bai Yan didn't even look at him. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and go up with Xuan Yuanmingyue and the others.
After boarding Xuanyuan Mingyue's flying magical artifact, the Wind-Riding Silk Belt, Xuanyuan Ning was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Feng and kept sending telepathic messages to Xuanyuan Mingyue.
"Sister, what exactly do you see in these two? Their cultivation levels are both lower than the other, and they're also timid and cowardly. When did our Xuanyuan family become friends with people like them?"
“Ning’er, you don’t understand. I met that Senior Bai in Wude Town, and I mentioned him to you when I got back.”
"Senior Bai? Is that the senior who spent 100,000 spirit stones to bid for the Thunder Beast? But according to you, he should at least be in the Core Formation stage, so why is he here?"
"That's the key point. He came and managed to fool those old guys, which proves that there's something he wants here. Last time I wanted to offer him a treasure, but he wasn't interested at all. If he's really interested in the Purple Blazing Kite, I won't do him this favor."
"But wasn't the Purple Iris something Father specifically instructed us to obtain? If we give it to him, wouldn't that be..."
"Compared to an elder at the Core Formation stage, what is Zi Zhuoyuan? Besides, she's just a fledgling. You need to know how to make choices so that you can bring good fortune to our Xuanyuan family."
"My sister is right to reprimand... but that Zhou Feng!"
"Since he's with a senior, how bad could he be? You should just keep him."
Xuan Yuan Ning stopped talking. Xuan Yuan Ming Yue had already said everything, so what else could he say? In any case, he didn't think Zhou Feng was a capable senior at all. With that timid and cowardly appearance, could any senior really fake it?
Ye Lan was also constantly observing Bai Yan and the other person. She really didn't understand why two people with such low cultivation levels would be favored by Xuan Yuan Mingyue. It was one thing for others, but she knew Xuan Yuan Mingyue well. This woman was extremely intelligent. Although she seemed to have low cultivation levels and was just a junior, she was actually the leader of the Xuan Yuan family.
Someone like her would have a good eye for people, so could these two be hiding their true strength?
Seeing Ye Lan staring intently at Bai Yan and his companion, Xuan Yuanmingyue became wary and asked telepathically, "What are you looking at, little sister? You seem quite interested in my two friends."
"I'm just curious why their cultivation level wouldn't warrant such concern from my sister. Did my sister find some powerful experts from somewhere? Otherwise, how could she be so confident?"
"Whether she is a master or not, my sister can tell at a glance. I didn't stop her."
"Then why don't you let your sister make friends with them too?" Ye Lan said, walking towards Bai Yan and the others. Seeing this, Xuan Yuanmingyue immediately stopped her, saying, "Instead of worrying about those two, sister, why don't you focus your attention on Zi Zhuoyuan first? I don't think Zi Zhuoyuan is easy to deal with."
"But I still have my older sister."
Ye Lan's lips curled up slightly, and she walked towards Bai Yan despite Xuan Yuanmingyue's obstruction. She greeted him politely, "This young master's clothing makes it impossible to identify which sect he belongs to. May I ask if you could tell me?"
"Does it matter which sect I belong to? I am just a rogue cultivator, I have no sect, I'm sorry to disappoint you, young lady."
Bai Yan's tone was indifferent, revealing neither his joy nor anger, which surprised Ye Lan. To treat her, the daughter of the Ye family, with such an attitude naturally angered her, but she was also worried that he might be a hidden master, so she could only force a smile and say, "It is indeed impressive that a rogue cultivator could come here. I am Ye Lan of the Ye family. May I ask if you would be willing to tell me your name, young master?"
Before Bai Yan could speak, Zhou Feng interrupted, "His name is Bai Yan, and mine is Zhou Feng. Neither of us is worth mentioning."
