At this time, the purple flame finally broke through the defense line of the vine roots, and the raging fire instantly ignited the entire root.

Without the support of their roots, the vines' resistance quickly weakened, and large tracts of them were reduced to ashes in the flames.

Zhuge Heping ran to Chu Hao, and Chu Hao took the opportunity to pull him and turned to escape from the dangerous grassland.

Behind him, the purple flame was still burning, completely engulfing the purple vines.

The midday sun shone directly, baking the surface of the tents in the camp hot.

Qin Jiaojiao was fidgeting in her tent, her hands tightly clenched around the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her surging emotions. She must settle the score with Ding Peng today!
She stood up and walked out of the tent. The hot and humid air enveloped her, making her more irritable. When she arrived in front of Ding Peng's tent, she opened the tent curtain, but found that there was no one inside.

"Where are the people? Where did they go?" Qin Jiaojiao muttered in a low voice, frowning.

When she turned around to leave, she bumped into Wang Lin who was passing by.

"You're walking with your eyes open!" Qin Jiaojiao exploded like a flaming gunpowder barrel. She stretched out her hand and tightly grasped Wang Lin's arm, and asked viciously, "Where's Ding Peng? Where did he go?"

Wang Lin was a little confused by the sudden collision and questioning, but quickly regained his composure.

She looked at Qin Jiaojiao's angry face and rude look, and suddenly felt disgusted.

"How should I know? Why are you asking me?" Wang Lin frowned and tried to shake off Qin Jiaojiao's hand.

How could Qin Jiaojiao let him go so easily? Her eyes seemed to be spitting fire. She took a step forward and pushed Wang Lin against a tree nearby.

"Don't play dumb, you must know where he is! Stop talking nonsense and tell me!"

Wang Lin was also angry at this moment. He straightened his back and looked directly into Qin Jiaojiao's eyes without fear.

"I told you I don't know, can you please stop being unreasonable?" Wang Lin struggled to break free from Qin Jiaojiao's hand and rubbed his arm which was red from being grabbed.

Qin Jiaojiao sneered, her eyes full of disdain. In her opinion, Wang Lin was just a bumpkin from the countryside, who dared to talk back to her like that.

"Humph, do you think I can do nothing if you don't tell me? You are from the countryside, how capable can you be? Don't play tricks in front of me, tell me where Ding Peng is, or you will be in trouble!"

When Wang Lin heard Qin Jiaojiao talking about her background, her face turned pale instantly, as if she had been slapped hard in the face.

Since she was a child, she had suffered a lot of strange looks and ridicule because of her rural origin, which had always been the deepest pain in her heart. Her lips trembled slightly, and a trace of hurt and anger flashed in her eyes.

"Why do you say that to me? What's wrong with me being a country person? I don't steal or rob, and I live through my own efforts. I'm no worse than you!" Wang Lin tried hard to hold back her tears, her voice a little choked, but her tone was firm.

Qin Jiaojiao did not restrain herself at all, but became even more aggressive.

"You are just bad! Look at your rustic appearance. You are not from the same world as us. Now, tell me Ding Peng's whereabouts immediately, and don't force me to be even more rude to you!"

Wang Lin's grievance and anger reached a peak, but she knew that it was meaningless to continue arguing with Qin Jiaojiao. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Okay, you're so cruel. Ding Peng has gone to see Teacher Wang Zhiyao. Are you satisfied?" After saying that, Wang Lin turned his head away, not wanting to look at Qin Jiaojiao again.

Qin Jiaojiao got the answer she wanted and a smug smile appeared on her face.

"You should have said this earlier. You're really asking for trouble." She glanced at Wang Lin contemptuously, shook her hair, turned around and prepared to leave.

After walking a few steps, Qin Jiaojiao stopped again, turned around, and taunted Wang Lin: "You, don't get involved here. Some things are not for you to covet. Recognize your own identity and stop dreaming unrealistically!"

After saying that, she strode towards teacher Wang Zhiyao's tent, leaving Wang Lin standing there alone, tears finally bursting out of her eyes.

Wang Lin looked at Qin Jiaojiao's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't understand why she had to suffer such insults and harm simply because of her background.

Qin Jiaojiao hurried towards Teacher Wang Zhiyao's tent, her heart full of doubts.

From a distance, she saw two figures projected in the tent, one was Ding Peng, and the other was undoubtedly Teacher Wang Zhiyao.

The two figures sometimes approached and sometimes separated, as if they were having a heated conversation. This scene made Qin Jiaojiao's steps become more hurried.

She almost trotted to the tent, and just as she stretched out her hand and was about to lift up the tent curtain and rush in, Ding Peng happened to walk out.

When Ding Peng looked up, he suddenly saw Qin Jiaojiao standing in front of him, and a hint of barely perceptible panic flashed in his eyes.

However, he quickly pretended to be calm, frowned slightly, and asked, "Jiaojiao, why are you here?"

Qin Jiaojiao looked at Ding Peng pretending to be calm, and her anger grew even stronger.

She did not answer Ding Peng's question, but asked sharply: "I came here to find you, but why did you stay in Teacher Wang Zhiyao's tent for so long?"

As she said this, her eyes were fixed on Ding Peng, trying to catch a glimpse of guilty conscience on his face.

Ding Peng sighed softly, his expression very sincere: "Jiaojiao, don't think too much. I have recently encountered a bottleneck in my practice of magic. I have tried many methods but can't break through. I heard that Teacher Wang Zhiyao is experienced in this area, so I came to ask her for advice."

Qin Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes full of suspicion. She thought to herself: "Why do I have to find Teacher Wang Zhiyao when I encounter problems with the magic? Why does this sound so unreliable?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her voice: "Ding Peng, don't lie to me. There are so many seniors in the whole camp, but you chose to find Teacher Wang Zhiyao. Do you trust her so much?"

Ding Peng felt anxious when he saw Qin Jiaojiao's face full of distrust.

He took a step forward and tried to hold Qin Jiaojiao's hand, but she pushed him away.

Ding Peng said helplessly: "Jiaojiao, I really didn't lie to you. I also looked for other seniors, but their suggestions didn't work. Just a few days ago, I heard from my classmates that Teacher Wang Zhiyao had unique insights into the situation I encountered, so I thought of giving it a try. Look, I just asked and it came out."

Qin Jiaojiao looked at Ding Peng's eager explanation, and the doubts in her heart were slightly alleviated, but still not completely eliminated.

She bit her lip and said, "Did you get any results? Did it really help to break through the bottleneck?" Ding Peng nodded, with a flash of excitement in his eyes: "Well, Teacher Wang Zhiyao pointed out a new idea for me and shared some of her previous practice experiences. I think it makes sense. I plan to try it when I go back later."

Qin Jiaojiao looked at the light in Ding Peng's eyes, and the jealousy in her heart was gradually replaced by concern for him. She said softly: "Okay, I believe you this time. However, if you encounter problems in the future, you must discuss it with me first, and you are not allowed to secretly come to other teachers alone."

Ding Peng nodded and agreed quickly: "Okay, I promise. No matter what happens in the future, I will tell you the first time."

Qin Jiaojiao smiled with satisfaction and held Ding Peng's arm. "Let's go back to the camp. I'll wait for you to try to break through the bottleneck. If you need any help, don't be stubborn."

Ding Peng looked at Qin Jiaojiao, pretending to be touched, but declined: "Go back first, change your clothes, and we'll play something exciting."

After hearing this, Qin Jiaojiao left shyly.

Qin Jiaojiao's figure gradually disappeared in the distance, and Ding Peng's tense nerves finally relaxed.

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he had handled the situation appropriately and had deceived Qin Jiaojiao.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and he secretly felt happy about his own cleverness and wit.

Turning around, Ding Peng couldn't wait to walk into the tent again.

At this time, Teacher Wang Zhiyao's clothes were disheveled, and her hair was scattered messily on her shoulders, which added a different charm to her.

Seeing this scene, Ding Peng's eyes instantly became hot. He took a step towards Teacher Wang Zhiyao, stretched out his arms and wanted to hug her tightly in his arms, and continued what was interrupted by Qin Jiaojiao before.

However, Teacher Wang Zhiyao suddenly exerted force and pushed Ding Peng away.

She quickly straightened her clothes, with a hint of anger and seriousness in her eyes.

"Ding Peng, I told you not to come here during the day, why didn't you listen? If Qin Jiaojiao had found out just now, we would all be doomed!"

Ding Peng smiled disapprovingly and moved forward, trying to get closer to Teacher Wang Zhiyao again, muttering, "Oh, teacher, it's okay. Look, I wasn't discovered. And I reacted so quickly just now that Qin Jiaojiao didn't suspect anything at all."

Teacher Wang Zhiyao took a step back, avoiding Ding Peng's approach. Her eyes were full of worry: "Don't be so careless! Today was a fluke, but what if it happens again? The truth will come out sooner or later. If others find out about what happened between us, my reputation will be ruined, and your future will also be affected."

Ding Peng didn't care. He crossed his arms over his chest with a look of unruliness on his face. "Teacher, don't be so timid. I can just coax Qin Jiaojiao. As for the others, as long as we are careful, how can we be discovered?"

Teacher Wang Zhiyao looked at Ding Peng's reckless look and felt angry and anxious: "Why don't you understand? If this kind of thing gets out, the consequences will be disastrous. We can't take risks like this anymore. You must never come to see me during the day again."

Seeing that Teacher Wang Zhiyao was so determined, Ding Peng felt dissatisfied but did not dare to act rashly.

He lowered his head and pretended to admit his mistake: "Teacher, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry. I will pay attention next time, but don't worry too much, it will be fine."

Teacher Wang Zhiyao looked at Ding Peng and shook her head helplessly.

She knew that Ding Peng was young and impulsive, and did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all.

But she herself was deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate herself.

"Ding Peng, go back and think carefully about what I said. We are all responsible for our own actions."

Seeing that Teacher Wang Zhiyao had made up her mind, Ding Peng had to turn around and leave reluctantly.

After he walked out of the tent, he looked back and thought to himself, "This woman is really a coward, but as long as I can continue to be with her, it doesn't hurt to restrain myself for the time being."

Afterwards, he whistled and walked towards the camp as if nothing had happened, but he didn't know that his illicit love affair with teacher Wang Zhiyao was like a bomb that could explode at any time.

At the same time, Cai Xiaoxiao's leg injury finally healed. When removing the bandage, she looked at her skin which was as smooth as before and stretched her calf with satisfaction.

Hearing the faint sobbing coming from the next tent, she stood up curiously, lifted the curtain and walked over.

As soon as I entered the tent, I saw Wang Lin curled up in the corner, her shoulders trembling slightly, tears rolling down her face uncontrollably.

"Wang Lin, why are you crying?" Cai Xiaoxiao pretended to be concerned, with a hint of surprise in her voice.

Wang Lin raised her head, her face full of tears, her eyes full of pain and confusion, and her voice was tearful: "Xiaoxiao, tell me, is it really wrong that I am a country person?" Her voice trembled, as if she had mustered up great courage to ask this question.

Cai Xiaoxiao was slightly startled, then a seemingly gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Ah, who can choose when they are born? Just like a pig is born a pig, and a dog is born a dog. What's right or wrong about this? Don't let your imagination run wild."

As she spoke, Cai Xiaoxiao reached out and gently patted Wang Lin's shoulder, as if to comfort her.

After hearing this, Wang Lin nodded thoughtfully, and a glimmer of light gradually appeared in his originally dim eyes, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Really? You're right, I shouldn't care so much." She wiped her tears and tried to calm herself down, secretly vowing to forget the grievances she had suffered because of her background.

Cai Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Lin's reaction, her lips curled up slightly, and she laughed in her heart: "What an idiot, you were fooled by me so easily."

On the surface, he still pretended to be concerned and said, "That's right, don't cry about this kind of thing in the future."

Wang Lin quickly wiped the remaining tears on her face with the back of her hand, then she came back to her senses and looked at Cai Xiaoxiao, her voice still a little hoarse: "By the way, Xiaoxiao, why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"

Cai Xiaoxiao raised the corner of her mouth, a proud smile appeared on her face, she lifted one leg and shook it gently: "Look, my leg injury is all healed! I just removed the bandage today, and I thought of coming to chat with you." As she spoke, she deliberately straightened her back to show the results of her recovery.

Wang Lin's eyes fell on Cai Xiaoxiao. She was wearing a playful short skirt, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements.

Cai Xiaoxiao's pair of white and straight thighs were faintly visible under her skirt, and her skin looked particularly delicate under the dim light in the tent.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed with envy, and she praised sincerely: "Xiaoxiao, your legs are so beautiful, white and straight, and paired with this skirt, it's absolutely amazing! I wish I had legs like yours."

After hearing this, Cai Xiaoxiao felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. (End of this chapter)
