The Disciple’s Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 144

[Chapter 144 I will protect this little fool (please subscribe)]

Everyone retracted their gaze and no longer paid attention to the little monk.

Because they had just probed their spiritual sense and saw something fishy. The little monk was only at the fourth level, and dealing with the wild bull was completely a matter of wits.

Su Xu and Yu Nu also discovered the fact that the little monk was at the fourth level, but they still came to him and clasped their fists to thank him. They didn’t expect that among so many strong people, only he, who was at the fourth level, would take action. The world is really cold and indifferent.

“Thank you, fellow Taoist.” Su Xu and Yu Nu clasped their fists again, and the man asked his name respectfully, “May I ask your name?” A

faint smile appeared on the corner of the little monk’s mouth. He twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand and introduced himself: “I just said that my real name is Mu Yishi, just call me the World Honored One.”

“Hello, Brother Mu.” Su Xu bowed and said embarrassedly: “My junior sister and I both came from the capital of Emperor Zhuanxu. My name is Su Xu, and this is my junior sister Yu Nu.”

“Hello, Brother Mu.” Yu Nu looked at him and clasped her hands.

“Who are these two?” Su Xu looked at Li Xu and Daxu.

Su Xu noticed Li Xu very early, because the realm of everyone present was very clear, only this person could not be seen at all.

He looked like a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old, with white and clean cheeks, a face as beautiful as jade, and white clothes as white as snow. Except for his outstanding appearance, the rest was ordinary.

“My name is Li Xu.” Li Xu answered simply, then looked at little Daxu and touched her head: “This is my biological sister Daxu.”

“Are you siblings?”

Yu Nu’s eyes kept sweeping across the brothers, frowning and thinking. Li Xu was a human, and Daxu was obviously a fox demon. Could they be brothers?

Daxu pouted and said, “We are half-siblings.”

“She’s right.”

Li Xu nodded and began to look carefully at the girl in front of him.

The woman had an extraordinary appearance, delicate features, and a tall figure. Her gorgeous dress was bound by a blue belt, which made her curves graceful. She was quite distinctive, and there was a jade pendant hanging around her waist.

The man’s appearance was slightly…

However, the man also had a jade pendant hanging around his waist. If nothing unexpected happened, it could be combined with the woman’s jade pendant to form a pair.

The relationship between the senior and junior brothers and sisters was indeed not simple.

Li Xu retracted his gaze and stopped looking at them, because looking at them for a long time would be impolite. He asked,

“The wild bull just now had a very strong evil spirit and attacked you. Can you tell me what happened?”

“Let’s talk while we walk.” Su Xu walked forward, and his junior sister Yu Nu followed him. The little monk, Li Xu, and Da Ru also followed his pace.

“My junior sister and I entered the Santu River last night. After entering, we found that something was wrong here. There was no sun here, only a red moon hanging in the sky. However, we relied on our fifth-grade realm and walked forward. We got lost while walking and kept going in circles. Later, we ran into this wild bull, and it chased us like crazy, and then you appeared.”

Su Xu briefly described his experience from last night to now. Now he is safe.

However, Li Xu felt that they must be hiding something. The wild bull could not attack him for no reason. They must have done something.

Obviously, they were not going to say it.

Li Xu did not ask, because he knew that they would not say it even if he asked. Those who dared to enter the Santu River were definitely not simple people.

“Excuse me, Brother Li, what realm are you in?” Su Xu asked, because he felt that Li Xu was unfathomable, but he was afraid of angering him by testing him.

“No rank.” Li Xu said lightly.

“Fifth rank!”

Hearing his words, Su Xu was obviously relieved and said, “I guessed right. You used some means to hide your realm. I thought your realm was higher than ours.” In

this case, the difference between the forces entering the Santu River is not big, and the strongest is no more than the sixth rank. In this way, even if there is friction, it may not be impossible to fight.

“Is it the fifth rank?”

Mu Yishi looked at Li Xu.

He always felt that Li Xu was not simple, because he knew that it was he who exposed the matter of the stealers, and he also beat the Yuyang County stealers branch. Is

this kind of strong man only fifth rank? Is it possible?

“It is indeed non-rank.” Li Xu said again. He said non-rank, not fifth rank. You can’t blame me if you heard it wrong.

Besides, he really needs to create the illusion that he is fifth rank, because if he is too weak, others can easily bully him.

“Awesome, fifth rank at such a young age, he looks like a teenager.” Yu Nu looked at Li Xu. It was the first time she saw such a young fifth rank.

“Don’t look at me because I’m young. I’m actually quite old.” Li Xu looked at her and said with a smile, “You’re also very young. You don’t look like you’re thirty years old, but you’ve already achieved the fifth rank. You’re really talented.”

You’re only thirty, and your whole family is thirty. Yu Nu said with a dark face, “I’m twenty-six this year, okay?”

Li Xu was astonished, “You can achieve the fifth rank at the age of twenty-six?”

“So young?”

The little monk was stunned. He had been in Yuyang County for so long, but this was the first time he heard that someone could achieve the fifth rank at the age of twenty-six. Is the outside world so scary?

Yu Nu’s face changed.

Su Xu quickly explained, “My junior sister was joking. She said she looked like she was twenty-six. Girls like to say their age is younger and their breasts are bigger.”

“She is actually in her forties or fifties, but she has a method to keep her youthful appearance, so she looks younger.” Su Xu explained a few words.

“Excuse me, sister, what method do you use to keep your youthful appearance?” Little Da’er looked up and asked.

“Miao Dou’s method of keeping your youthful appearance.” Yu Nu nodded and said, “Little sister, do you want to learn it? If you want, I can teach you.” “

I don’t need it.” Little Da’er shook her head.

“Little sister, where are you from? Are you from Qingqiu? I have always wanted to go to Qingqiu, but I am worried that there is no one to lead the way.”

“No, I became a monster through my own practice with the help of my brother.” Da’er said.

“So amazing.”

Yu Nu came over and wanted to touch her chubby face, but she quickly hid behind Li Xu, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and looked at her with her big eyes.

“Can I touch your face?”

“No.” Da’er refused her.

“Hahaha, then I won’t touch you.”

Seeing that Da’er was resisting, Yu Nu used laughter to cover up her embarrassment, then walked up to Su Xu, pretended to rub her belly, and said:

“Senior brother, I don’t know what I ate, my stomach aches slightly.”

“Go to the bathroom by yourself.”

“Senior brother, I’m scared.”

“Okay, then I’ll accompany you.” Su Xu stopped, turned and looked at the three of them, and said, “My junior sister is feeling a little uncomfortable. I’ll accompany her to the bathroom. You guys go first.” As Su Xu

spoke, he stretched out his hand and supported the arm of his junior sister, who was pretending to have a stomachache and whose face was still a little pale, and walked to the side of the road at a leisurely pace until they could no longer see Li Xu.

The man let go of the girl, his face grim: “Are you a pig?”

Yu Nu lowered her head and said: “I’m sorry.”

Su Xu said: “Your brain is not working well. You really can’t have too much contact with people. If I hadn’t been quick-witted just now, I said you were forty or fifty years old, and we would have died in your mouth.”

The girl also realized the seriousness of the matter and said: “We can’t stay here for too long. Find our things and leave immediately.”

The man looked behind him and sighed: “I don’t know if they have come to their senses. Let’s go, let’s go quickly.”

They turned into a gust of wind and disappeared on the spot.

…

Da’er looked at the direction where they disappeared, her ears moved, and said: “Do you think Su Xu and Yu Nu are a little bit wrong?”

“Even a blind man can see that they seem to be hiding something. I guess it’s the matter of the wild buffalo.” The little monk Mu Yishi said.

“It may be more than this one thing.” Li Xu said, “I should have touched the bones just now, touched the bones of this woman, but unfortunately they slipped away so quickly, and I couldn’t act rashly.”

“Master, can you touch bones?” asked the little Da’er.

“A little bit.”

“Why did you touch her?”

“I wanted to know her age.”

“Didn’t she say she was in her forties or fifties?” Dali asked in confusion.

“She said she was 26 at first, but later changed it to 40 or 50, and it was the man who said that.” Mu Yi said, “Is there any problem with that?”

Li Xu looked at the little monk and said, “Maybe she is really 26?”

Mu Yi shook his head and said, “How could she be 26? As soon as she opened her mouth, I knew she was lying. She couldn’t be that young.”

Da Ru also said, “Yes, she definitely lied about her age. I have been wandering around in Zhuanxu Country for more than 20 years, and I know all the lists of cultivators. In the entire Daozhou, the fastest person to achieve the fifth level in the known lists is Fang Zhongyong, who was 27 years old.”

“I have heard of him too. He is gifted and achieved enlightenment at the age of 27. He is also the only record that has not been broken so far. The girl said she was 26, which is obviously a lie.” Mu Yi shook his head and said,

“But it’s hard to say. I heard that there are many low-key families in Daozhou, such as the Yuluo family, the Huangmu family, and the Mengpo family. These families have many geniuses and talents, and they can also achieve enlightenment at a young age.”

“These noble families are very low-key, and it is normal that they do not disclose their strength.” Mu Yishi explained.

Li Xu said, “What if all these are ruled out?”

Mu Yishi touched his head and thought, “Then she lied about her age.”

Li Xu said again, “If she did not lie about her age and is not from a noble family, is this possible?”

“Yes.” Dahu suddenly raised her little hand.

“Who is it?” Mu Yishi looked at Dahu. This seemingly stupid thing actually used its brain. It was incredible.

Dahu’s expression was serious and she said three words: “Thief.”

Li Xu snapped his fingers and said, “Yes, it is a thief.”

“If they are not geniuses from aristocratic families, and if she is 26 years old, there is only one possibility, a thief. The starting point of a thief is often the fourth rank. It is possible to cultivate to the fifth rank at that age.” Li Xu said.

“Do you mean Su Xu and Yu Nu are thieves?” asked the little monk.

“Not sure, just guessing.” Li Xu shook his head and said, “If we were sure, they would have died long ago.”

“Should we chase them?” Mu Yishi moved to take a look and sighed, “It’s a pity that they are gone.”

Li Xu smiled and said, “Why are you in such a hurry? It’s just a guess. If it’s not, it’s a bit embarrassing. If it is, then they must have a purpose in entering the Santu River. They won’t leave until the mission is completed.”

Mu Yishi frowned and said, “Is their goal also the Sansheng Flower?”

Li Xu said, “It should be. Anyone who enters here at this moment should be aiming for the Sansheng Flower. There is only one Sansheng Flower. We will definitely meet. Next time we meet, I will try them. If they are not stealers, we will not lose. If they are stealers, things will become interesting.”

Mu Yishi said, “That’s right. Let’s not test them for the time being. Let them help find the Sansheng Flower. One more person means one more force.”

“That’s exactly what I mean.” Li Xu smiled and said, “Let’s keep going. The three young masters of the Demon Cave should have gone far away.”

They quickly caught up.

The journey was relatively easy and smooth. It was just that when they passed by, there were occasionally some corpses of fierce beasts on the ground.

It was obviously a good thing done by the group of people in front.

As he walked, Li Xu suddenly found that Xiao Daxu beside him had disappeared. He looked back and saw that she had fallen behind by dozens of steps.

She held her legs, panting, her forehead was full of sweat, and she stuck out her tongue, as if she was very tired.

Mu Yishi also stopped.

“What’s wrong with you?” Li Xu asked, “Why don’t you catch up?”

“I can’t walk anymore.”

“You are a second-rank cultivator, how can you get tired just by walking?” Li Xu looked at her, stunned, “You are too useless, aren’t you?”

“No, there is something wrong with the environment here. As I walked, my steps suddenly became heavy, as if something was dragging my feet.”

Li Xu looked around and frowned.

Then he took out a piece of transparent dragon scale and stared at Xiao Daxu. Suddenly, Xiao Daxu’s clothes disappeared, leaving her bare.

But this is not the point. The point is that he did see several hands dragging her feet.

These hands were very white, as if they had been dead for a long, long time. Several hands kept dragging her feet, as if they were not letting her move forward.

Seeing that Li Xu was holding something in his hand, Mu Yishi looked a little strange and asked,

“What did you see?”

He wanted to come over to see it.

But Li Xu stepped aside and told him to get out. Could he see through the dragon scales?

Of course not, only he could see it.

He came to Daxu and was about to use the Nanming Lihuo to kill the hands, but suddenly he felt that these hands had no ill intentions, they just didn’t want Daxu to enter the Santu River, maybe because Daxu was too weak.

He squatted down, looked at the hands, and said, “I won’t kill you, you go.”

The hands were unmoved and still dragged Daxu tightly.

“Brother, who are you talking to?” Daxu looked at Li Xu.

“No.” Li Xu shook his head.

“Ah, ah, ah…” Daxu gritted her teeth and tried to move forward, but her steps were so heavy, as if she really felt that there were hands holding her back.

But she couldn’t see it herself and was in a hurry.

So she forced herself to move forward, but she fell to the ground, and the hands immediately went to help her.

But Li Xu helped Daju up first, looked at those white jade hands, and said:

“You go, this little fool, I will protect you.”
