Chapter 284 Challenge

Seeing that Mr. Feng and his apprentice were arguing for a while, Gu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Stop for a moment, do you think we just need to cook a decent meal so that you don't have to argue anymore?"

Master Feng looked at Gu Zheng and nodded at the same time.

"I don't have quality ingredients here, but there are in Shushan. As long as Elder Feng takes a walk with me in Shushan, I think there will definitely be quality ingredients for me to make delicious food."

Visiting Shushan is what Gu Zheng wants to take the opportunity to do.

Shushan Mountain is very large, and many places can be said to be in a primitive state. After all, cultivators will not cause serious damage to the ecology like ordinary people. Moreover, many of the good ingredients in Gu Zheng's eyes may not be recognized by practitioners, or they may just be edible wild vegetables.

For Gu Zheng, Shushan is a 'primitive forest' worth exploring. But unfortunately, Shushan is not for people to wander around casually, not even for disciples of branch sects.

"You want to visit Shushan to find ingredients. Although this is difficult, it is not impossible."

Elder Feng's voice paused, and he seemed to have made up his mind: "You can go to Shushan if you want, but you must be obedient. Don't go to places you shouldn't go, don't touch things you shouldn't touch, and don't cause any trouble for me. ”

Gu Zheng was overjoyed: "Senior, don't worry, I have memorized everything you told me!"

"Also, I can't go with you, so let my disciple Luo Xiao go with you. She is the granddaughter of Elder Qin Wanxia, ​​and she is also one of the disciples of the Shushan sect who has entered the Shuxu since then. You need to obey when visiting Shushan. Her instructions. The last thing is that you can only go with her and stay here to play chess with me!"

It is understandable for Gu Zheng to let Elder Wuchou stay. After all, it is illegal to take outsiders to visit Shushan. It is naturally even worse if you take more people. As for the little Taoist nun Luo Xiao, Elder Feng directly pointed out her identity. Was she reminding him of something?

"Hey, why are you dazed? Do you still want to find ingredients?" Luo Xiao asked.

Gu Zheng smiled slightly: "Of course I do, let's go!"

Gu Zheng followed Luo Xiao and left Hidden Sword Peak, but every few steps he took, Luo Xiao, who had been silent, started to speak.

"Wait for me here, I'll change my clothes and come back."

Without saying a word, Luo Xiao left immediately.

Looking at Luo Xiao's back, Gu Zheng smiled in his heart.

During the ranking event, Luo Xiao was also present. Gu Zheng had seen her, but he just glanced past her and didn't pay attention at all. If Luo Xiao hadn't appeared in front of Gu Zheng today, Gu Zheng would have forgotten it soon.

If Elder Feng hadn't pointed out Luo Xiao's identity, he wouldn't have thought too much about this silent dispute. Now that Elder Feng has pointed out her identity, her attitude means that she is a bit unfriendly.

"Luo Xiao is Qin Wanxia's granddaughter. Qin Wanxia received benefits from the Qingcheng sect but failed to accomplish anything. She must have some objections to me. She is traveling with Qin Wanxia's granddaughter, and her attitude is not very friendly. How long is it? He has a good heart," Gu Zheng said secretly.

Luo Xiao said that changing clothes was just an excuse. At this time, she had arrived at Qin Wanxia's residence.

"Grandma, I saw Gu Zheng at my master's place."

After meeting Qin Wanxia, ​​Luo Xiao went straight to the point and told everything that happened at Elder Feng's place.

"Feng Hansheng made an exception for him and let him visit Shushan. This is not a particularly excessive thing. You can take him to visit. However, you can tell me what happened along the way when you come back."

Qin Wanxia's expression didn't change much, and she didn't even make waves. This was a bit beyond Luo Xiao's expectation. According to her understanding, grandma was a person who kept her word and retribution. Now that she had accepted the Qingcheng faction But it didn't work out. It should be said that Emei would not be let go easily. It is only right to make small things difficult. As for her, Luo Xiao, she naturally shares the same hatred as her grandmother, so she is very displeased with Gu Zheng, but she doesn't show much on the surface.

"What's wrong? Do you feel weird?"

Seemingly seeing through Luo Xiao's thoughts, Qin Wanxia smiled lovingly at Luo Xiao.

"It's a little bit, but grandma can be so open-minded, so of course there is a reason for you." Luo Xiao took Qin Wanxia's arm and smiled coquettishly.

"Ghost girl, are you talking about grandma's small belly?"

Qin Wanxia tapped Luo Xiao's eyebrow with her finger, causing Luo Xiao to stick out his tongue playfully.

"Girl, in your opinion, what kind of person is this Gu Zheng?" Qin Wanxia asked.

"He is a person, but I hate the way he deliberately hides his strength at the ranking event and his publicity." Luo Xiao answered directly, with both praise and criticism.

"He is from the outside world. He is not like the kind you see in ordinary times. He is a senior brother and sister who has little experience in the world. It is really nothing to use a little trick in such an important place such as the ranking event." Qin Wanxia touched it. Touching Luo Xiao's hair, she said earnestly: "Girl, it depends on the person, don't just look at the appearance!"

"Grandma, I feel like you think highly of him. What's different about him? If he's just young and promising, you shouldn't be like this?"

Suspicion appeared in Luo Xiao's eyes. In her heart, her grandmother was a very arrogant person. In terms of seniority, she was older than Gu Zheng. Even if Gu Zheng was young and promising, in common sense, grandma should evaluate the younger ones in the same way as the elders, and It shouldn't be like today, as if talking about someone of the same generation, with a rather sad expression on his face.

"Different?" Qin Wanxia murmured, looking slightly absent-minded, as if she didn't know what to say. However, her eyes regained their sparkle instantly, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning in them: "Girl, he has many differences. Now we people in Shushan also want to know more about him. Grandma also just received the news, Gu Zhang Men seems to have won several food competitions, so you shouldn't be surprised that he has good cooking skills. Doesn't this make a difference? He is young, has high cultivation, and has good cooking skills. Do you want to find someone like this for you? Where is the Taoist companion?"

"Grandma, why did you drag me?" Luo Xiao almost jumped up as if the hair on her tail had been stepped on.

"What grandma said is true." Qin Wanxia said with a half-smile.

"Grandma, I want to take Gu Zheng to visit Shushan. Let's take the first step. I'll report back to you after we finish visiting Shushan!" Not wanting to get entangled in the issue of Taoist companions, Luo Xiao ran out directly.

Not far after leaving the house, Luo Xiao's eyes became suspicious.

"Did grandma not want me to ask more questions and deliberately brought up the matter about the Taoist monks to make me go away? After all, she knew that it was annoying for me to talk about this matter. Well, old age is still hotter!" Luo Xiao turned around and said angrily Stomped his foot.

Gu Zheng didn't wait long. When Luo Xiao came back, he changed his Taoist robe into a set of clothes that were relatively close to the body and more convenient for traveling in the mountains and forests.

It had to be said that Luo Xiao's figure, which was hidden by the Taoist robe, was particularly curvy. Gu Zheng took one look at it and then moved his eyes elsewhere. But even so, Luo Xiao still snorted coldly: "If you dare to wear it, you won't be afraid of being seen!"

"You misunderstood. It's not that I don't dare to look, nor do I look in secret. I just think it's not good to stare all the time. If you insist that I'm being hypocritical by looking away and disrespecting you by looking away, then I don't think so. I can be more sincere and respect you a little more!”

She was a little girl, and Gu Zheng didn't want to be acquainted with her. Although he said two words with force, he didn't actually do it.

Moreover, Gu Zheng also felt a little change in himself. It seemed that in the outside world, whether he behaved or spoke, he was a little different from when he faced cultivators. Just like what happened just now, if it were in the outside world, Gu Zheng might not even bother to tell a woman this.

When he first discovered these differences, Gu Zheng also communicated with Elder Wuyou. Elder Wuyou thought this was normal. After all, the world of cultivators is very different from the outside world. If it is still like the outside world, in the world of cultivators, and even in the world of immortal cultivators, you will suffer losses. You have to endure it when you should tolerate it, and you must not tolerate it when you should not tolerate it. After all, he is the leader of a sect. , things like face should still be fought for.

"You..." Luo Xiao was so angry at Gu Zheng's words that she hesitated for a moment, but soon she smiled slightly: "Okay, you are really sharp-tongued. Fortunately, I saw it during the ranking event. If you want to Otherwise, why don’t you get mad at me? Let’s go on the road!”

Luo Xiao didn't want to worry about what to wear, and Gu Zheng certainly didn't want to either. The two of them walked down the path on the side of Zangjian Peak to the back mountain of Shu Mountain.

Zangjian Peak is the highest peak in Shu Mountain. Every time you walk along the steep mountain road, you will reach the top of another mountain.

The sea of ​​clouds is rising all around, and cypress and fir trees can be seen everywhere.

"Can I take a walk around here?" Gu Zheng asked.

"If you want to visit more hills, don't stay here for too long. There are also a few seniors in the Shushan sect who like cooking. They sometimes come to the back mountain to collect some ingredients. This mountain is considered the periphery of the back mountain. , has been visited the most, so if you want to find good ingredients here, you may be overthinking it!" Luo Xiao's attitude has become much calmer, but there is still a sense of ridicule in his words.

Gu Zheng didn't say a word and walked straight in one direction, where a huge tree crown looked very eye-catching.

There are very few pine trees in the Shushan Mountains, but the crown of the tree is that of a pine tree. Judging from the crown, this pine tree is at least as thick as two people hugging each other, and it must be more than a thousand years old.

"Pine pollen, a common ingredient."

The voice of Qi Ling sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.

"Can you let me pick some of the pine pollen here? I only need one money, which can be used for cooking." Gu Zheng said.

"You think so! Pine pollen has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. It is an indispensable medicinal material for refining the 'Beauty Pill'. You don't know, don't you? Let alone a penny, I can't give you even a cent! In addition, Not only are you not allowed to collect pine pollen, but you are not allowed to collect any medicinal materials. These are the resources of the Shushan Sect. You can only dig some of them for use!"

There isn't much pine pollen, and more than this amount is blown away by the wind every day from this pine tree. But who makes Luo Xiao unhappy with Gu Zheng? Gu Zheng can't even think of getting anything that is even slightly suspected of violating regulations.

Luo Xiao looked at Gu Zheng proudly. She thought Gu Zheng would be a little unhappy, but who would have thought that Gu Zheng actually nodded and seemed to agree with what she said.

Gu Zheng continued to search, but he stopped again after not going far.

"Morning dew vegetables are inferior ingredients."

Ingredients that are lower than second-rate, unless it is required by the ancient competition, otherwise the current weapon spirit will no longer repay it.

"Can I dig this morning dew plant?"

Gu Zheng pointed to a small green vegetable hanging slightly dew under the fir tree.

"No, these are also medicinal materials, used to refine the 'Bai Ling Dan'!"

If Gu Zheng hadn't spoken, Luo Xiao wouldn't have recognized the leek-like weed at all. She hasn't been difficult enough for Gu Zheng, so naturally she won't let him get the ingredients so easily. But she didn't know that the so-called 'Morning Dew Vegetable' was actually made up by Gu Zheng, and it was simply a weed.

"What is the Bailing Pill?"

There was a hint of sarcasm on Gu Zheng's lips.

'Bailing Dan' was something Luo Xiao made up casually. She was stunned and said displeasedly: "Bailing Dan is a unique elixir in Shushan. This is not something you should ask about! Did you look at it before leaving? "Didn't my master tell you not to ask questions that you shouldn't?"

"Is that so?"

Gu Zheng's voice paused: "Then next time you go to a place, if there are medicinal materials from your Shushan Mountain, just tell me directly. It will save me the trouble of telling you, but you said no."

"I'll tell you when we get to a place, then I'll die from exhaustion?" Luo Xiao rolled his eyes.

"I'll ask you, I don't have to ask you to take the initiative."

As Gu Zheng spoke, he continued to search.

After another moment, Gu Zheng stopped and spoke: "Are there any medicinal materials from your Shu Mountain within a radius of five meters?"

Without even looking, Luo Xiao knew that there were no medicinal materials from Shushan here. As the only disciple of Elder Feng, she often entered the back mountains for the first time, and was also responsible for taking care of some medicinal materials. There were no medicinal materials growing in the back mountains of Shu Mountain. She was like a mirror in her heart.

But now that Gu Zheng asked, he should have discovered some ingredients. Luo Xiao wanted to take a closer look and continue to make things difficult for him.

"It, it, it, it! They are all medicinal materials from Shushan. As for their names, don't ask. If I tell you, you don't know!"

Luo Xiao lit three weeds that she thought might be ingredients. To be on the safe side, she also lit a suspicious sapling.

"Is that all?"

Gu Zheng seemed to be smiling but not smiling. The ingredients he was interested in were not something that this little girl could detect in the film.

Sure enough, when Gu Zheng finished speaking, Luo Xiao glanced around with vigilant eyes, feeling that there was really no decent food available, so he nodded his head.

Gu Zheng didn't say anything else, and walked straight to the foot of an old cypress tree. There was a piece of green moss, and in the middle of the moss was an inconspicuous little white flower.

Gu Zheng walked to Xiao Baihua's side, pinched Xiao Baihua with two fingers, and frowned slightly.

"Damn it!"

Luo Xiao secretly cursed, Gu Zheng's current appearance was obviously due to the use of internal energy. It allows a practitioner to use internal energy to pick a small white flower. This only shows that this small white flower has a relatively developed root system.

A plant whose outer flowers are only as big as a pinky fingernail and has no exposed flower diameter, but has a well-developed root system, must be extraordinary!

In Luo Xiao's wide eyes, Gu Zhengsheng twitched a grass root half a meter long, as thin as a little finger, and as white as jade, from under that inconspicuous little flower. If you don't look at the thickness and management level, the shape of the strange grass roots is quite similar to thatch roots, and they are also segmented.

The name of this grass root that Luo Xiao didn't recognize was "Bingtang Dimei". In addition to being relatively rare, its ingredients were of average quality. As for the age of its growth, it was at least a thousand years old.

Moreover, 'Bingtang Dimei' is very rare. It is both a medicinal material and an ingredient. Not to mention that Luo Xiao doesn't know it, even the elders of the Emei Sect don't know it. Otherwise, this thing would not have grown to this day. It would have been long ago. It was picked up.

Ignoring Luo Xiao's shock, Gu Zheng directly held up the 'Bingtang Dimei' and shook it. At the same time, he used the immortal soil control technique, and all the soil on it immediately fell away.

Gu Zheng took out a piece of wet cloth he brought with him, wrapped the 'Bingtang Dimei' and rolled it to the end, then folded off a section and put it in his mouth.

"Crunch..."

A very crisp sound came from Gu Zheng's mouth, just like taking a bite of radish, and as Gu Zheng's mouth chewed, a sweet fragrance filled the air.

"What's this?"

No matter how careful he was, Gu Zheng still found the ingredients. Luo Xiao was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn't show it at all on the surface.

"Who knows what it is? I think it can be used for cooking. Do you want to try it?"

It was nothing on the surface, but Gu Zheng was sneering in his heart. He didn't want to follow the little girl's movie. She was always looking for trouble, so she had to deal with it. If she let her temper go wild, how could she look for ingredients later? ?

"Yes, why not!"

Luo Xiao didn't hesitate at all. Since the ingredients had been found by Gu Zheng, it would be free if he didn't eat them.

On the surface, there was no difference at all. Gu Zheng broke off half of the 'Bingtang Dimei' to Luo Xiao, but in fact, the half of the section he broke off had already been manipulated.

‘Bingtang Dimei’ is very strange. It looks completely white. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that it is divided into two colors. One is slightly more transparent, and the other is slightly less transparent. The two subtle differences are divided into sections and intersections. The one with higher transparency has a sour and sweet taste, which is also the origin of the word "plum" in its name. As for the one with slightly lower transparency, it tastes as sweet as rock sugar. This is what was eaten in ancient times as sweet as rock sugar. kind.

What Luo Xiao got was only the sour and sweet half of the knot, and Gu Zheng used his hands and feet to control the water, condensing the purification of the sour taste.

Seeing how sweet Gu Zheng had eaten just now, Luo Xiao put the 'rock sugar plum' in his mouth and chewed it hard.

"Bingtang Dimei" exploded in Luo Xiao's mouth, and the smell was like old vinegar, flowing straight into Luo Xiao's nostrils.

"Ahem..."

Luo Xiao coughed violently and sprayed out the 'rock sugar plum' in her mouth. Even though she was a practitioner, she was caught off guard and was still so stimulated by the mellow sour taste that she almost burst into tears!

"Why is this happening?" After Luo Xiao stopped coughing, he frowned at Gu Zheng.

"This kind of ingredient is very strange. Good-hearted people taste it sweet when they eat it, but bad-hearted people taste it sour. Are you always trying to make things difficult for me, so the food you eat tastes sour and refreshing? "

Gu Zheng's face was very serious, and it didn't look like he was joking at all.

Luo Xiao was not stupid, and suddenly thought of something: "Did you do anything in it?"

"Mingren doesn't talk secretly. Yes, I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. I'm looking for ingredients this time. Of course, I have benefits, but I will share some of the ingredients with you, and I will make delicious food for you when I get back. . If you still want to make things difficult for me, then I'm sorry, I will turn around and go back now, and I will also inform Elder Feng of everything that happened here."

Gu Zheng paused and grinned at Luo Xiao, who was obviously in a daze: "I won't accompany you anymore!"

"Stop!"

Luo Xiao was indeed yelled at by Gu Zheng's words just now. How could she bear it when she had never been yelled at before.

"If you tell me to stop, I will. Why?"

Gu Zheng was still walking forward, but Luo Xiao swayed and immediately stopped in front of him.

"What are you so arrogant about? Besides playing tricks and informing, what else can you do? Do you think your cultivation level is very high? You are only in your twenties and you are in the late fourth level of cultivation, but you happened to take Tiancai Dibao, we It’s not that Shushan disciples have reached the fourth level in their twenties. I am also at the fourth level. Although I am only at the early stage of the fourth level, I am younger than you. I am only nineteen years old this year. When I reach your age, I will cultivate Why can’t I be worse than you?”

Luo Xiao was really angry. She was shaking all over and her words were a bit incoherent.

"What's your logic? I happened to have taken Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but what about you? If the sect hadn't used various elixirs to help you improve, would you have reached the fourth level of early stage cultivation at this age? As for what to say At my age, your cultivation will not be much worse than mine. What's the point of waiting for you to come to me? At this age, I don’t know what level of cultivation I have reached! Also, you said that I am playing tricks on you. Isn’t it because you are making things difficult for me? Why can’t you explain it clearly from the beginning? Did you start making things difficult when you were getting the ingredients? As for snitching, since you did it, why do you care about it? "

There was undisguised sarcasm in Gu Zheng's eyes, and he said a lot in one breath.

"I want to challenge you, but you don't have the guts to accept it? If you have the ability, just suppress your cultivation to the early stage of the fourth level, and don't use your 'Meteor Immortal Steps' and fairy weapons. See if I don't hit you and beg for mercy!"

Luo Xiao was so angry that she was unreasonable. She pulled out the sharp sword from behind and pointed it at Gu Zheng.

"You actually want to challenge me? You actually want to beat me until I beg for mercy? Okay! Since it's a challenge, how do you win or lose?"

Gu Zheng really didn't want to be angry, but he was also happy. If a man made such a request, Gu Zheng would definitely give him four words - shameless.

"If you win, I will no longer make things difficult for you along the way. But if you lose, you will look down upon me when you see me in the future!" Luo Xiao said bitterly.

"Okay, come on!"

Gu Zheng nodded in agreement, stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword from his back. This sword is still the one given to Gu An. Even if there are no ferocious beasts on the trip to the back of the mountain, it would be nice to have a sharp weapon in hand to clear the way. Gu Zheng will also go and kill Luo Xiao while waiting for her to change clothes. The sword was brought. As for his immortal weapon Tang Mo, it was still placed in the prehistoric space.

"Watch the move!"

On one side of Luo Xiao's body, a half-moon-shaped inner energy slashed towards Gu Zheng with his sword.

"cut!"

Gu Zheng swung the sharp sword in his hand, and when the inner force made a hole in the half-moon-shaped inner force, the person was already rushing towards Luo Xiao using the ethereal illusion technique.

Luo Xiao said that he was not allowed to use the 'Meteor Immortal Step'. Although the speed of the Misty Body Illusion Technique was not slow, it was far worse than the so-called 'Meteor Immortal Step'. Gu Zheng was not worried that Luo Xiao would accuse him of violating the rules.

"Qiang..."

They were not far away, so Gu Zheng rushed forward, and Luo Xiao met him with his sword. The two weapons collided heavily.

Gu Zheng had no intention of fighting with Luo Xiao. When the weapons collided with each other, he used the "Sixth Form of Falling Leaf Sword Technique" to fight against the enemy. A strange inner strength came out of the sword, attracting Luo Xiao's sword like a magnet. live.

Luo Xiao frowned and tried to break free, but it was of no avail. The suction force generated by the sixth form of the Falling Leaf Sword Technique was actually the internal strength of the two parties competing against each other. If Luo Xiao's internal strength was not as strong as Gu Zheng's , then her weapon will be extremely difficult to break free of.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

The sound of gold and iron kept coming out, Gu Zheng's arm was drawing circles, and Luo Xiao's arm was also passively making the same movement, her weapon was about to be rolled away by the internal force of Gu Zheng's sword. Fly.

"Let go!"

Gu Zheng yelled, Luo Xiao didn't dare to let his inner strength slip away, but he had the upper hand but he dared! No matter how hard he suppresses his cultivation, the so-called 'internal energy' in his body is actually immortal power. This kind of more profound power cannot be compared to internal energy when the two forces collide.

"Bang..."

Luo Xiao also pushed out a palm to counteract Gu Zheng's internal energy, but the sword in her hand was blown away by Gu Zheng as expected.

Giving Luo Xiao no chance at all, Gu Zheng's figure immediately became erratic, and the sharp sword in his hand attacked Luo Xiao frequently.

"Arm!"

"Waist!"

"Thigh!"

"Neck!"

Without a weapon, and not as agile as Gu Zheng, Luo Xiao, who could not hit Gu Zheng at all, was simply beaten by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng relied on the exquisiteness of the "Falling Leaf Sword Technique" and would report the name of Luo Xiao's body part in advance every time he wanted to attack her, and he did not make false reports, simply hitting wherever he pointed.

However, this was just a competition, and the opponent was a little girl, so Gu Zheng naturally did not really hurt her, and every time he hit her with the sword as a ruler. Although he only used the sword as a ruler, it still hurt when he used internal energy in it.

After all, Luo Xiao was still a little girl, how could she withstand Gu Zheng's abuse with immortal skills? She was stunned after a few hits, and she was completely distracted while parrying, and tears had already flowed down.

After beating Luo Xiao several times, Gu Zheng asked, "Do you accept it?"

"I accept it, I accept it, wow..."

Before, Luo Xiao just shed tears, but now she really cried out in pain.

Seeing that Luo Xiao gave up resistance and said she accepted it, Gu Zheng stopped and stood aside.

The little Taoist nun, who was originally pretty, was now beaten with blue and red skin, and she was still standing there crying. This made Gu Zheng ask himself if he hit her too hard? However, this thought only flashed through his mind!

Was it too hard? Not at all. It was just a small lesson for her. If it was really in actual combat, she would have died several times just now.

"Since you accept it, let's continue on the road?"

The bet was over, and Gu Zheng's words were not as cold as before.

"Yeah."

Luo Xiao was still crying, and her voice of agreement was low, full of grievances.

Gu Zheng didn't say much, and continued to look for ingredients.

Luo Xiao was considered a "royal relative" in Shushan. Gu Zheng gave her a lesson, but he was not afraid that she would go back and complain. After all, this was a competition, and he had already shown mercy. Moreover, he was on the right side of the matter. He did not believe that Elder Feng would be so protective of his shortcomings.

As for other people, Gu Zheng could not care so much. No matter what Luo Xiao planned to do in the future, he had to harvest some ingredients first. The back mountain of Shushan was really a treasure land. He encountered pine pollen and white jade ground plum not long after walking. He was looking forward to what he would harvest later.

Gu Zheng walked in front, and Luo Xiao followed behind with a sob. She was really hit hard this time.

I thought that after Gu Zheng suppressed her cultivation, she could completely rely on the exquisite swordsmanship of Shushan to defeat the opponent, but she never thought that the opponent's swordsmanship and footwork were beyond imagination and exquisite, and she was directly defeated.

At the age of 19, Luo Xiao was like a little princess in Shushan. She had never been bullied, and she had never lost so badly in a competition. When her so-called arrogance was ruthlessly pushed away by Gu Zheng, the strong sense of frustration not only made her see some realities clearly, but also made her cry like a normal 19-year-old girl.

Looking at Gu Zheng's back who was only looking for food, Luo Xiao, who had stopped crying, gritted her teeth. She thought she had already convinced him. Even if Gu Zheng didn't comfort her at the time, he should have comforted her later, right? But all this didn't happen. Even her master, Elder Feng, had to compromise after making her cry, but crying here was useless. This made her anger, which had already been extinguished, rise again.

"Hmph, wait and see. If I don't show you some color, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Although she gritted her teeth at Gu Zheng's back, Luo Xiao didn't realize that after being severely frustrated by Gu Zheng, she didn't feel that Gu Zheng was not satisfied with anything he did as before.

Gu Zheng didn't know what Luo Xiao was thinking. He only knew that he felt really good now. Without Luo Xiao's deliberate trouble, he only walked two more miles of mountain road and harvested two inferior wild vegetables.

Gu Zheng glanced at Luo Xiao and said in his heart: "I hope you don't come to provoke me. It would be great if we can live in peace!"

"I'm hungry!"

Gu Zheng had just had hope, and Luo Xiao spoke immediately as if he had sensed it.

"Then let's take a break. I have some fruits here."

It was almost noon when they set out from Cangjian Peak. It was not too much for Luo Xiao to say that he was hungry at this time.

"I don't want to eat fruit. I want to eat what you cook. You caught a rabbit on the road. You should plan to use it to make lunch, right?"

Luo Xiao shook his head and refused the fruit handed over by Gu Zheng.
