After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

With She Zhiyi's addition, the efficiency of hunting monsters actually increased significantly.

He was a disciple of the Beast Taming Peak. Although he was not good at direct combat, Lin Zhixu and Jiang Che were not as good as him when it came to understanding the habits and weaknesses of demonic beasts.

Lin Zhixu and Jiang Che took the lead in the action, while She Zhiyi provided logistical support from behind.

The distribution of the harvest was also simple and straightforward.

Lin Zhixu and Jiang Che are the main force, each taking 40%, while She Zhiyi takes 20%.

She Zhiyi originally didn't want anything, but Jiang Che and Lin Zhixu weren't the kind of people who could exploit others, so they gave him something to rely on.

She Zhiyi, holding the things Lin Zhixu had given her, lowered her eyelashes and silently followed behind the two.

After walking a while longer, just after turning through a dense forest, they heard a muffled thud as a monster fell to the ground ahead.

Lin Zhixu paused, then saw two familiar figures squatting beside the monster's corpse, deftly extracting its core.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Tong turned around warily, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.

Along the way, they encountered several groups of people trying to steal their belongings, and they all became extremely nervous.

Upon recognizing Lin Zhixu, he paused for a moment, then excitedly ran over.

He almost stopped in his tracks when he got to Lin Zhixu, his excitement barely contained: "Senior Brother Lin! It's wonderful, I've finally met you!"

Chu Yan followed behind, his whole body filthy, but he grinned honestly, clearly relieved as well.

Lin Zhixu glanced at the two men and, seeing that although their clothes were disheveled, they didn't seem to have any serious injuries, his tense nerves relaxed a bit: "Are you alright?"

Zhou Tong shook his head: "We're fine..."

Just then, a hurried voice interrupted him from behind: "Zhou Tong and Chu Yan, are you done? The smell of blood here is too strong; we need to leave quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, slender figure strode out of the forest, his robes stained with several wet bloodstains, clearly indicating that he had also just participated in the battle.

Luo Yiyan looked up and met Lin Zhixu's gaze.

Luo Yiyan suddenly stopped in her tracks.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Zhixu! Are you alright?"

Lin Zhixu shook his head slightly.

"Thank you for taking care of them these past two days."

Seeing Lin Zhixu's unusual gentleness towards him, Luo Yiyan was overjoyed. "It's only right. Your friends are my friends, so it's only right that I take care of them."

Lin Zhixu smiled faintly.

"Let's not reminisce now." Jiang Che interrupted them, waving his hand to summon a gentle breeze to dispel the increasingly strong stench of blood. "The stench of blood here is too strong; it'll attract other wild beasts in no time. Let's get out of here first."

Luo Yiyan nodded, only then noticing that there was an unfamiliar face standing next to Lin Zhixu.

When he saw She Zhiyi's face clearly, he frowned slightly.

I feel like this face is somewhat familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't quite place it.

The group quickly gathered up the usable materials from the monster's corpse, cleaned up the remains, and then swiftly left the area.

The group found an open space and, after confirming that there were no signs of monster activity in the vicinity, finally relaxed their tense vigilance that had lasted all the way.

Luo Yiyan intended to sit down next to Lin Zhixu, but as soon as he took a step, a figure slowly swayed over and took the spot he had chosen.

She Zhiyi seemed completely unaware, and as she bent down to adjust the straps on her cuffs, she sat down steadily next to Lin Zhixu.

Luo Yiyan: "..."

Luo Yiyan paused, his gaze lingering on She Zhiyi's face for a moment.

Where did this kid come from, so clueless?

He suppressed the subtle displeasure in his heart and turned to look at Lin Zhixu's other side.

Zhou Tong was sitting next to Lin Zhixu, excitedly recounting his experiences over the past two days.

Luo Yiyan didn't want Zhou Tong to give up his seat, so he could only sit down next to Chu Yan with a blank expression.

He remembered!

Lin Zhixu was completely unaware of the undercurrents around him, listening to Zhou Tong recount his experiences over the past two days.

Then I heard Zhou Tong mention another piece of news.

"Senior Brother Lin, we heard from others that there's a recently discovered ruin nearby, and it seems there's treasure inside. We were thinking that if we didn't run into you, we'd go check it out with Senior Brother Luo and join in the fun."

Lin Zhixu frowned: "What ruins? Are they dangerous?"

Zhou Tong: "We don't know exactly what kind of ruin it is, but it should be a bit dangerous. But fortune favors the bold, and we thought that if we went there, we might have a chance to find something worthwhile."

Lin Zhixu couldn't make a decision alone, so he looked at Jiang Che.

Among them, Jiang Che has the highest cultivation level. If he is willing to go, he can take a look from the outer circle.

Jiang Che thought for a moment and nodded.

"We've hunted enough monsters these past two days, let's go check it out. If there's danger, we'll retreat immediately."

Since no one had any objections, they agreed to rest for a while and then go find the ruins.

Zhou Tong and Chu Yan were slightly injured in their battle against the monsters, so they are taking this time to heal.

Luo Yiyan hesitated several times, wanting to talk to Lin Zhixu, but each time she was interrupted by She Zhiyi, intentionally or unintentionally.

Just like this time.

Luo Yiyan wandered around the nearby woods and found a few wild fruit trees. She picked a handful and tasted them, and they were surprisingly sweet.

Remembering that Lin Zhixu liked sweets, he tucked the biggest and reddest ones into his clothes and walked back excitedly.

"Zhixu, I just picked some fruit, it's quite sweet, you should try some." He had just handed the fruit to Lin Zhixu when a hand reached out and naturally took it from him.

She Zhiyi looked down at the fruit in her palm, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone critical: "Senior brother, this fruit has wormholes; eating it might upset your stomach. And you didn't even wash it before bringing it over; it's so dirty."

He turned his head, put on a well-behaved expression, and looked at Lin Zhixu. "Senior Brother Lin, wait here. I'll go find some good ones, wash them clean, and bring them to you."

Lin Zhixu: "...No need, thank you."

Luo Yiyan's forehead veins throbbed.

He stared fiercely at She Zhiyi's face and her attentive behavior.

He always felt that this person was doing it on purpose.

Moreover, it wasn't just his behavior that offended him; he felt he disliked the person from the very first moment he saw him.

Lin Zhixu also felt that She Zhiyi was acting strangely.

At first, everything was fine, but it seems that ever since she met Luo Yiyan, she has been intentionally or unintentionally competing with him.

Lin Zhixu couldn't help but start to have doubts.

After spending time with this person, he felt increasingly familiar with him.

But when he tested She Zhiyi, he didn't find any flaws.

He suspected several times that She Zhiyi was Yu Linzhou's alternate account.

He asked the system, and the system's answer was that it didn't know.

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Zhixu found it interesting.

It's basically a case of "protesting too much."

The system knows a person's entire life better than anyone else, but when he asked about She Zhiyi, the system's answer was that it didn't know.

If you say there's no ghost, I'd never believe it even if you beat me to death.

Lin Zhixu looked at She Zhiyi, and a smile slowly crept onto his lips.

Well, I was worried that something might have gone wrong with his seclusion, but I didn't expect him to create a new account to tease him.

Is she afraid that he won't find out?

Since he wants to play, then play along and have some fun with him.

She Zhiyi was arguing with Luo Yiyan when she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

He looked around but didn't sense any danger.

Or is it just my imagination?
