Chapter 567 Boy? Girl?

somebody is coming?

Xu Yuan's hand movements paused slightly unconsciously, and he subconsciously looked where Bai Muxi was looking.

The dense forest at night in early spring carried the sound of natural revitalization. The moment of silence beside the campfire made the rustling of mosquitoes and sounds of animals around them become particularly clear. However, Xu Yuan saw nothing, and the dark mist blocked his view. sight.

Turning to glance at the expression on Bai Muxi's face, Xu Yuan continued to turn the barbecue on the wooden stand and said with a leisurely smile:

"There really is a family deep in the jungle. But judging from the look on your face, I guess you are not an expert hermit."

Bai Muxi stared into the depths of the mist for several breaths:

"He is a young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old. There is the Feng family emblem on his clothes."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately thought of the two geniuses from the Feng family.

The secret letter recorded that the two were biological siblings.

The sister is eighteen and the brother is fifteen.

Now I meet a fourteen-year-old Feng family boy again

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly and he suddenly looked at the general direction of the ancestral temple.

Mud, he just said that there are so many geniuses in the world. Could it be that the two siblings stole what his grandfather left him? !

While he was thinking, Bai Muxi seemed to see what he was thinking, and quickly explained:

"Sir, that young man only has an iron body cultivation level, and is not the genius in the secret letter."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately relaxed his brows, exhaled a breath, and snorted coldly:

"Next time you speak, don't gasp."

"Yes." Bai Muxi looked a little embarrassed.

Glancing at the dense forest again, Xu Yuan's words were slightly confused: "This valley is already in the hinterland of the Xifeng Mountains and hundreds of miles away from the main peak of the settlement. What is an iron-clad young man doing here so late? "

It was dark all around, and Bai Muxi was sitting on her knees opposite the bonfire. The jumping fireworks trailed across her beautiful face, and she thought for a moment:

"Sir, could it be a post post?"

"Post post?"

Xu Yuan stared at the half-cooked skewers in front of him and murmured back: "It's possible."

The Xifeng Mountain Range, as the ancestral land of the Feng family, strictly prohibits outsiders from entering, just like those sect mountain gates.

But as a feng shui treasure land full of spiritual energy, the mountains produce many natural and earthly treasures every year. When the Feng family was strong, no one dared to covet these things. However, with the opening of martial arts schools, the number of mud-leg cultivators has increased exponentially. After the direct lineage of the Feng family was absorbed into the Prime Minister's Mansion, this deterrence was greatly reduced.

This was also mentioned in the information sent by the Black Scale Guards.

Every year, many fly-like "gold diggers" sneak into the mountains to try their luck. For them, a rare elixir may allow them to exchange for a pill that can break through the bottleneck.

In order to prevent these outsiders from disturbing the ancestral land, and to prevent the few financial resources from being encroached on, the Feng family branches not only arranged for powerful masters to patrol the mountains, but also set up hundreds of outposts in the thousands of miles of mountains.

Most of the tribesmen stationed in the outpost are about six or seven levels in cultivation, so a starving camel is bigger than a horse.

Taking off a fat and thin skewer from the wooden stand, Xu Yuan bit off a piece of fat meat. The delicious spices and the meat juice penetrated his taste buds. While chewing, he whispered:

"It's still a bit strange. Most of the tribesmen stationed at the outpost are middle-aged people from some tribes. Most of them are stuck by bottlenecks and cannot make progress in their cultivation. Fourteen or fifteen years old in the iron body realm. Based on the current situation of the Feng family's collateral branch It seems that this young man should be studying in Fengqitang."

After hearing this, Bai Muxi gently placed her white palms on her knees where she was sitting cross-legged. Just as she was about to stand up with her knees up, Xu Yuan's voice was muffled by eating meat:

"What do you want to do?"

Bai Muxi glanced at Xu Yuan and replied truthfully:

"Since the young master suspects that he has found the Feng family's ancestral temple, you might as well arrest him and ask him directly."

Xu Yuan glanced at him calmly, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and uttered two words:

"sit down!"

"." Bai Muxi put down her hand honestly and looked at Xu Yuan eagerly.

Didn't the young master's words just mean that this young man might have robbed him of his opportunity?

Why are you being mean to me?

Wiping off the oil stains on the corners of his lips with a brocade handkerchief, Xu Yuan exhaled a breath of white mist, raised his eyes through the woods to look at the stars in the sky, and said in a calm tone:

"Mu Xi, if you find out that the young man has indeed discovered the location of his ancestral temple, what do you want to do? Imprison him or kill him?"

"." Bai Muxi was silent, but her eyes acquiesced.

Xu Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled slightly:

"It doesn't matter. Even if the young man finds the Feng family's ancestral temple, so what? If outsiders can get the things in the ancestral temple so easily, there will be no such thing as blood in this world?"

As he spoke, he paused and whispered:

"Most of the literati in the world call my father a thief who steals the country and would like to eat his flesh and blood. Have you ever seen my father pay any attention to these people? Hehe, even looking at him is a waste of time.

"You can indeed exclude people who are a threat to me, but the prerequisite is that they have the qualifications first. Wouldn't it be tiring if we killed everyone?"

Bai Muxi pursed her lips slightly and murmured in a low voice:

"Sir, isn't fifteen-year-old sixth-grade iron body enough to attract attention?"

"."

The air was quiet for a moment, and a strange flash appeared in Xu Yuan's eyes.

As soon as he said this, he suddenly understood what Xiaobai meant.

He was exposed to wall hangings like Xu Changge, Tian Yan, Ran Qingmo and the like all day long.

Are those who have not reached Grand Master before the age of twenty considered a genius?

That's bullshit.

Except himself, of course.

However, in terms of normality in the world, although the sixth-grade boy who is about fifteen years old is not as good as those who are the top in the world, he can still be regarded as a "genius".

It means there is a slight deviation in the vision.

With a sigh in his heart, Xu Yuan waved his hand:

"There is no need to scare the snake, you can use magic to lure the young man away. When Ran Qingmo comes back, we will set off immediately. This young man must have a name with the Feng family. If something happens to him, he may cause some unnecessary trouble. trouble."

"Young Master"

Bai Muxi suddenly interrupted: "That young man is going to be attacked by a monster, a fifth-grade monster python."

Xu Yuan waved his hand without thinking:

"Don't worry about him."

The words fell,

"boom--"

A muffled sound suddenly sounded and fell from the dense forest more than a hundred feet away.

Bai Muxi stood up, looked back at Xu Yuan, and said with some hesitation in her voice:

"Mr. Ran rescued the boy."

"." Xu Yuan smacked his lips.

The handsome young man knelt down by the bonfire meticulously, his eyes darting back and forth on the three people in front of him.

Feng Fangming felt that he seemed to have met three incredible people today.

The first is the girl with cold temperament, Ru Mo.

This sister, who looked to be a few years older than him, punched the head of a fifth-grade jade-scaled snake, saving his life.

She was practicing with her eyes closed at the moment, as if the violent scene just now had never happened. The white crystal in her hand seemed to be the Source Crystal.

Next is the quiet sister in white clothes with a curvy figure.

The other party's bright eyes were as bright as a lake, but for some reason, Feng Fangming always felt that this beautiful elder sister looked at him with a hint of hostility in her eyes.

And finally there was the brocade-robed brother who was tinkering with bottles and jars, skewering green-scaled snakes into meat skewers.

Judging from the atmosphere between the three of them, it seems that the eldest brother with a laid-back temperament is the one who calls the shots.

But more importantly, with his own cultivation, he couldn't see through the state of the three people in front of him, but the other party's appearance looked a few years older than him.

Thinking of this, Feng Fangming's fists clenched slightly unconsciously.

These three people reminded him of the towering figure in Qifeng Hall, as if looking down on all living beings.

An eerie silence spread among the four people around the campfire.

Feng Fangming wanted to break the silence several times, but he didn't dare to disturb the three of them.

Due to his duties as a guard, Feng Fangming felt that he should ask the three of them what they were doing in their ancestral land, but the temperament of these three did not seem like they came here for the treasures in the mountain.

In the inner struggle, a wisp of meaty fragrance quietly drifted into the tip of his nose.

Then,

Then he heard a gentle and gentle male voice:

"Feng Fangming, right? How old are you this year?"

Hearing this, Feng Fangming quickly raised his eyes and looked at the man who made the noise, only to see the other man hand him a bunch of fragrant meat skewers with a smile.

He quickly stretched out his hands to take it. When his fingertips touched, he took it back like an electric shock. After taking a sip, Feng Fangming replied softly:

"Young Master Hui has just turned fourteen."

"Iron body of fourteen years old"

The man in front of him smiled softly after hearing this, then handed two skewers of snake meat to the two sisters beside him, and lightly praised: "Very good."

Just as Feng Fangming was about to express her gratitude, she heard a sentence that shocked her:

"but.

"You must be a girl, right?"

"."

You can hear needles dropping in the air, and the campfire is crackling.

Bai Muxi's bright eyes were surprised.

Ran Qingmo blinked, his eyes widened, his cheeks bulged, and he stopped chewing in his mouth.

Xu Yuan bent his eyes and smiled, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

Three eyes fell on her at the same time. Feng Timing opened her small mouth, closed it, opened it again, blinked her eyes, forced herself to be calm, and her voice was filled with a hint of confusion:

"Master, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about it. I just feel that your aura is a bit strange. If it offends you, please forgive me."

Feng Ziming lowered her head and smiled coquettishly:

"Sir, you are really good at joking."

Xu Yuan looked at her deeply with a half-smile, then said:

"We have reached the hinterland of the Xifeng Mountains. All kinds of poisonous insects and monsters are extremely dangerous. Why are you still running around in the forest so late?"

Speaking of this matter, Feng Ziming suddenly looked straight:

"I am the garrison of the Qixuan Valley, and I am on duty tonight."

As she spoke, she raised her middle hand and saluted Ran Qingmo:

"Thank you to the sister in black for coming to the rescue. Otherwise, with the habits of the green-scaled snake, I would probably be in a hard fight tonight."

Ran Qingmo didn't speak, just shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't need to care.

Xu Yuan on the side showed a hint of interest.

It’s a hard fight, not a fight between life and death.

It seems like this girl can still fight higher and higher.

Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan asked again:

"Fang Ming, with your age and cultivation level, according to common sense, you should study in Fengzi Pavilion of Qifeng Hall, right? Why is your second elder willing to send you here?"

Qifeng Hall is an academy for young members of the clan, where they both learn Xuan Kung and teach arts and sciences. Fengzi Pavilion is the top academy among them, and is taught by the elders themselves.

A flash of surprise flashed in Feng Ziming's eyes, as if she didn't understand why the young master in front of her knew so much about the inside of the Feng family, but after a moment of silence, she still whispered:

"Entrusted by others."

"Entrusted by someone?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Feng Yuming remained silent.

Xu Yuan thought for a moment, but chose not to ask further questions. He pointed at the snake meat skewers in the other person's hand:

"Eat quickly. It's cold in the early spring night. It will be cold soon."

After he finished speaking, there was a rustling chewing sound.

While eating the delicious snake meat that stimulated the taste buds in his hand, Feng Yuming glanced back and forth at the young man in brocade robe for several times. In the end, he couldn't help but whispered:

"Young master, I wonder what you three are doing in my Feng family's ancestral land late at night?"

As soon as he said this, Bai Muxi glanced at him lightly.

With just one glance, Feng Yuming felt like falling into an ice cave. There was only a chaotic buzzing in his mind, and his frail body trembled uncontrollably.

"Pa——"

But the next moment, a crisp slap brought Feng Yuming back to reality. It was indeed the young master who slapped the lower back of the big sister in white.

This Xiaobai is the same as Lou Ji, scaring children at every turn.

It belongs to the food chain.

But he does need someone to accompany him with a stern face.

Retracting his palm, Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said lightly:

"How about this, you tell me who entrusted you, and I will tell you why we are here, how about it?"

Because of the fear rooted in the depths of his heart, Feng Yuming subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw the eyes of the big sister in white again, he silently swallowed his words back.

Sentinels have a mortality rate.

Every year, a few sentries guarding the forest die at the hands of outsiders.

The three people in front of him have unfathomable cultivation. Just based on the punch that the sister in black casually smashed the head of the Bilin Snake, Feng Yuming would not have any room to resist.

Biting the corner of his lips and clenching his fists, Feng Yuming said in a low voice:

"A brother in the clan asked me to come here."

"Brother?" Xu Yuan frowned: "Which one?"

Feng Yuming stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths, and whispered:

"Young Master, you should not know him."

"Just tell me directly, and I can judge for myself whether I know him or not."

"It's Feng Ruxian."

"."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan did not say anything, but glanced at Xiaobai beside him, and a slightly playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Seeing the expression of the young man in brocade robe, Feng Yuming's eyes were even more puzzled. He clenched his fists slightly and asked subconsciously:

"Young master, do you know him?"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished asking."

Xu Yuan observed the other party's expression, raised his hand to interrupt, with a smile on his face, and his voice echoed softly:

"Why did he ask you to come here?"

"He wants me to take care of a cave for him."

"There are nine bright lights in that cave?"

"Hey, young master, how do you know?" Feng Yuming's eyes were a little shaken.

"Good question."

Xu Yuan supported his knees and slowly stood up from the futon. He stretched out his hand and took out a token and threw it to the unknown girl in front of him, saying indifferently:

"Because, my name is Xu Changge."
