The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2894 Disappointment

"Okay, you go back and reunite with the team first. I'll wait for a while and go back later than you. This way, we can go in different time periods and no one will suspect our relationship." After Chen Mo finished speaking, he headed towards the hill. He wanted to see if the golden-edged snow lotus on the hill nursery had been destroyed by Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing.

The two old men went up and were attacked by the big white dough, which might cause some golden snow lotus to be frozen. The loss of one of them would be a pain in his heart. The golden snow lotus in the hilly nursery was already regarded as his own possession by Chen Mo, so if one was damaged, he would suffer property losses.

As for staggering the time of returning, it was also because he considered that if he still wanted to be the sixth, he would have to continue to conceal his strength and not let Qian Ying and others turn their attention to him. Moreover, with such an old man in the open, if there is anything in the future, he can be more calm, at least he has a younger brother to command.

Otherwise, I would be alone all the time, which would make me feel a little weak. My girlfriend needs to be protected, and it is impossible for her to arrange things for her. So, if there is any dirty work that I don't want to do, I can just give it to Zhou Zixing, isn't it great?
After hearing this, Zhou Zixing immediately nodded in agreement. Looking at Chen Mo's back as he left, he finally let out a breath, which turned into smoothie and fell in the wind and snow.

The temperature here was so low that the gas coming out of his mouth turned into ice.

However, none of these could compare to the icy coldness on his back. If he hadn't been a congenital master, he would have been frozen into an ice crystal.

During the time he was in contact with Chen Mo, he had no idea how many times he had been scared to death. Anyway, his back had never been dry. If Chen Mo and he had not been inside the formation before, isolating the cold air outside the formation, then his back would have been covered with thick ice crystals.

Fortunately, when Chen Mo took away the formation, he performed the cleansing spell on him, so all the dirt on his body and the wetness on his back were cleaned up. This prevented his back from being frozen into ice crystals at the same time as the formation was eliminated.

However, after Chen Mo finished his last few words, he broke out in a cold sweat again, and then he became like this.

Fortunately, Zhou Zixing was a master of innate power, so after he reacted, he circulated his innate power, and as his blood and energy surged, he dried his clothes and the ice crystals on his body.

Although the current temperature is more than 100 degrees below zero, it is not as cold as the temperature in his heart at the moment, which is extremely cold.

He also sighed, why did he go this way? Why didn't he stay a little further away earlier, as long as he didn't run into Chen Mo, why did he run into him, and then directly trapped himself, it really felt a bit tragic.

But it has become like this now, especially when I feel discomfort on the back of my neck, I always want to reach out and touch it, but I force myself to endure it.

Go back. Now that it’s like this, let’s just take it one step at a time.

As for the future, if Chen Mo asked him to deal with other people or execute some orders, he would have to obey. However, if he wanted to kill his own warriors, he would have to think twice before doing so. In fact, this was also what Zhou Zixing was worried about. After all, he didn't want to attack his younger warriors, but...

Hey!
It gives me a headache just thinking about it, so I decided not to think about it.

Zhou Zixing walked quickly forward, but his steps were a little heavy. After all, he had a lot on his mind, so naturally his movements were a little uncoordinated and sluggish.

……

"Huh? Aunt, look, is there someone coming? Could it be A'mo?" Ouyang Ruoxi pulled Ouyang Nan and said quickly.

After all, Ouyang Nan had been running for a long time in the morning, so his energy was consumed a lot. If he had not had half an hour to recover, his energy would have run out long ago.

Therefore, he turned around and came here to accompany Ouyang Ruoxi while waiting for Chen Mo to return. After waiting for a long time and seeing no sign of him, he closed his eyes and meditated to restore his strength, so that in case of any emergency, he would be able to deal with it in time.

He is still the leader of the Ouyang family. Although the warriors under him do not obey orders very much, once there is an unexpected crisis, being able to reduce the losses can increase the survival insurance in this valley.

Although Ouyang Nan wanted to have a long talk with Ouyang Min and openly explain some of his ideas to him so that he could cooperate with her, he gave up after thinking about it. After all, although he was not familiar with Ouyang Min, he had heard some things about him, so he did not think he could persuade him well.

So, it depends on the situation. If you can protect some strength, then protect some strength. If you can't protect it, then just let it go. She just needs to protect her niece and Ouyang Nana.

Ouyang Nan, who had come to terms with it, felt less worried.

After hearing Ouyang Ruoxi's words, she immediately gathered her inner strength into her dantian. She felt helpless. If it weren't for the fact that this was in the valley, and there were only three of them staying here, a little distance away from the temporary camp of the Ouyang family, she would not devote herself to practicing and recovering, but would have paid some attention to her surroundings.

Therefore, when Ouyang Ruoxi pulled him, his practice was interrupted, and the Qi did not run around randomly. Instead, it was collected by her and entered the Dantian obediently.

Ouyang Nan felt a little helpless, but he also understood Ouyang Ruoxi's anxiety, so he could only look over there.

She was stronger than Ouyang Ruoxi, so she could see farther and more clearly. The fog was very thin here, so the obstruction to the vision was not as serious as it was in the morning.

However, she found that the person who came did not seem to be the young man Li Mo, but seemed to be someone else. Before the three of them could guess, the person who came was very fast and approached them in a few breaths.

"It's Elder Zhou!" Ouyang Nana shouted.

Ouyang Ruoxi was disappointed when she saw that it was Elder Zhou of the Zhou family. She was anxiously looking forward to Chen Mo's return, but she didn't expect it to be someone else. She turned her head and looked at Ouyang Nan, and said quietly and quickly: "Aunt, can you ask the elders around if they have seen Ah Mo."

She is just a warrior of the Ouyang family, and her strength is only at the eighth level of the acquired realm. She is definitely not on the same level as Zhou Zixing. Therefore, if you want to talk to her, she may not respond. So you should find Ouyang Nan and ask her to ask. Elder Zhou Zixing may stay for a while.

Ouyang Na nodded to indicate that everyone should be patient, then she stood up and walked towards Zhou Zi.

What the three women didn't expect was that after seeing them, Elder Zhou Zixing paused for a moment, then smiled at Ouyang Nan who was walking towards him, and then stopped.

Zhou Zixing had been walking for a long time and hadn't met anyone, so he was a little anxious.

Fortunately, when we split into two teams in the morning, we had a corresponding plan, so we saw many marks left by the team in front of us along the way. We felt relieved and continued to move forward.

Finally, after seeing a few people from a distance, he felt a little relieved. But when he got closer, he saw Ouyang Nan and the other two, and was stunned.

Although he couldn't wait to return to the family team, he saw that the people he wanted to pay attention to were all here, so he naturally remembered Chen Mo's horror and subconsciously stopped. But then he thought of what Chen Mo said, that under normal circumstances, they should just get along as usual, and wanted to walk away, but then he realized that it was a bit awkward, so he simply stopped and wanted to see what Ouyang Nan meant.

Ouyang Nan didn't expect Zhou Zixing to stop and look at her. When did Elder Zhou become so patient with her? She naturally didn't think that Elder Zhou would look at her with a high regard. Maybe he just wanted to ask her something. Since she also had something to ask him, she quickly walked a few steps and came to Zhou Zixing.

"Elder Zhou!" Ouyang Nan bowed and greeted him. But he couldn't say welcome back or say I didn't expect you to finally escape, so he could only address him and bow.

Zhou Zixing's cheeks twitched. This woman was someone Chen Mo had asked him to pay attention to, but he couldn't show it too much, so he nodded and said, "Oh, it's you. Why are you guys here? Who are you waiting for?"

He naturally guessed in his heart who the three women were waiting for, but he couldn't show it.

"Elder Zhou, because we were attacked by strange beasts this morning, Li Mo from my team fell behind and lost contact. He hasn't come back since, so the three of us are waiting here for him to come back." Ouyang Nan said.

"Li Mo was left behind after being attacked by a strange beast in the morning?" Zhou Zixing naturally didn't know the situation. When he saw Chen Mo, Chen Mo was killing people everywhere and showing his strength. As for what happened before, he didn't know anything at all, and Chen Mo didn't tell him, so he had some questions.

Ouyang Nan immediately recounted what happened in the morning, and then asked, "Elder Zhou, did you run into Li Mo on your way back?"

Zhou Zixing immediately complained in his heart, did he meet him? He was so unlucky that he had to meet that Li Mo. He absolutely didn't want to meet that guy, okay? If he had a choice, he really didn't want to meet him.

Now tell me if you have encountered this, do you think it is human language?
Thinking of Li Mo's explanation, and seeing Zhou Ke from the Zhou family and Qian Wantong from the Qian family rushing over here at high speed, he could only shake his head and say to Ouyang Nan: "I didn't meet the Li Mo you mentioned."

Seeing Ouyang Nan's disappointed expression, he continued, "I retreated from the other side of the hill this morning. Because there was a strange beast chasing me, I walked in a hurry. There was also fog all around, and my vision was not clear, so it was normal that I didn't encounter him. Maybe Li Mo will be able to catch up soon."

Ouyang Nan didn't know why Zhou Zixing could say this, but he also appreciated it, nodded and said: "Thank you for telling me, Elder Zhou, then we will wait a little longer."

"Yeah, okay." Zhou Zixing looked at Qian Wantong and Zhou Ke who were approaching, nodded to Ouyang Nan, then turned to look at the two of them.

"I've met the elder!"

"I've met Elder Zhou!"

Zhou Ke and Qian Wantong bowed and greeted them.

"Manager Qian, please tell Elder Qian that I will go back and rest before seeing him." After Zhou Zixing came back, he naturally had to meet Qian Ying and talk about what happened in the morning.

The situation in the morning was special, and the two could only run away separately, and they couldn't blame each other. So, they still had to meet and talk things out.

Qian Wantong immediately nodded in agreement, raised his eyes slightly to look at Zhou Zixing and Ouyang Nan beside him, did not say anything, but turned around and returned to the Qian family's temporary camp.

Zhou Zixing nodded to Ouyang Nan again, then waved to Zhou Ke, and the two of them walked towards the Zhou family's temporary camp, one in front and one behind.
