These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

A blush crept up from the girl's cheeks to her ears.

Jiang Ying glanced at the boy timidly, then spoke softly.

"This won't work..."

Wei Tu chuckled, "I do have that much self-control, but the key is that I don't want anyone to see me doing this. Let me rest for a bit."

Jiang Ying looked at the boy with a puzzled expression.

"Shouldn't we go somewhere else? After that guy escaped, he'll definitely try to reveal our location so that others can come after us."

"Senior sister used her brain."

Wei Tu smiled, then nodded and said, "It's alright. Hiding here and there is too embarrassing. Besides, the two of us can't hide, and there's no need for it. We might as well sit and wait for them to come. I want to see who wants to get into trouble first."

Wei Tu had just finished speaking.

He had just released the girl's hand.

"Om..."

ground.

Bamboo leaves suddenly flew up from the ground.

The ground was shaking, no... it was undulating as if something was moving underground.

It hurtled towards Wei Tu's feet with lightning speed. PS: Although I've already achieved my perfect attendance of 180,000 words this month, I'm still updating twice today! Damn it, what's going on with me going to bed earlier and waking up later and later?

85. The oriole is unaware of the mantis behind!

The swift airflow was like a dragon moving through the earth.

They didn't even come from one place, but wandered from all directions.

Although the air currents on each line do not appear to be large, the closer they get to Wei Tu, the more one can feel their mutual resonance.

It seems that the moment they come together, they will become an incredibly terrifying and unstoppable massive energy.

"Om..."

"Om..."

"Om..."

The distance was getting closer and closer, but Wei Tu showed no sign of leaving the center.

Perhaps it was because the speed was so fast that there was no chance for anyone to react.

At this point, the most effective and simplest method had already been found by the boy.

He drew his sword, Shen Tu.

"boom!"

As Wei Tu slammed Shen Tu into the ground, several hidden auras burst forth from the earth, like ferocious beasts finally revealing their sharp fangs at the last moment.

The aura bursting forth from the earth was like a sharp blade, rushing directly towards Wei Tu.

But at the same time, sword energy burst forth from the earth, centered around Wei Tu.

"Om!!"

It was like the clanging of metal when swords clashed.

The sword energies clashed and began to fight each other.

At the center of this shockwave, Wei Tu's calm gaze pierced through the raging sword energy, and he saw a fleeting figure to his left.

As the sword energy gradually subsided, the sword energy that had been fighting and then dissipating quickly left behind a mess: fallen leaves were crushed and soil was turned upside down.

"Junior brother?"

Jiang Ying glanced at Wei Tu and knew he was alright, but he seemed a little strange, as if his breathing hadn't completely stopped.

Wei Tu did not respond to Jiang Ying, but stared fixedly in that direction, looking somewhat different.

Because the other party did not leave, it seemed they were waiting for something.

Is it waiting for me to catch up with them?

Then someone from the shadows will attack Jiang Ying, breaking their bond of life and death?

So Wei Tu didn't move, his expression calm and his breathing steady as he looked in that direction.

Until the other party finally seemed unable to hold back and spoke.

"Not bad, are you sure you don't want to join forces?"

The man's voice.

It even sounds somewhat familiar, if I'm not mistaken.

This is... Dou Qinhu of Snow Knife Manor.

Number 13, the effeminate boy who entered the bamboo forest before me.

He actually found his and Jiang Ying's location? Did he come looking for them intentionally? Just to suggest joining forces?

Why now instead of before? Why make it seem like you only get the chance to join forces if you pass the other party's test? What a madman!

"I can do even better, do you want to give it a try?"

"hehe."

Dou Qinhu emerged from the shadows, a knife in his hand.

Jiang Ying clearly noticed this unusual scene as well, "That was clearly sword energy just now..."

She gently reminded the boy beside her.

Dou Qinhu, who was not far away, obviously heard it too, and smiled with his effeminate face.

“I learned swordsmanship first, but my master said I had more talent for swordsmanship. The way of the sword is like the way of the sword, and that is how it is.”

Wei Tu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Many people learn swordsmanship after mastering the knife, combining strength and flexibility. It's rare to see someone learn the way of the knife through the way of the sword."

"Everyone has their own path, that's all, right?"

"nothing."

"Not planning to join forces? Four or five people have already formed an alliance and are preparing to come towards you. At this time, joining forces with me, with the three of us together, is the best option."

Dou Qinhu said this.

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes. "You came here to test me just for this? This doesn't seem like sincerity in wanting to join forces."

Dou Qinhu crossed his arms over his chest, casually holding a knife, his eyes darting around.

"I'm just seeing if joining forces with you will be a burden to me."

"Since there are such concerns, not joining forces in the first place would have been the best choice. Don't you think that's a bit too much trouble?"

Dou Qinhu shook his head.

“You are different from them.”

"You noticed that too?"

"Hmm, I'm pretty good at judging people. Although you don't give a definite answer, if you agree, you're unlikely to go back on your word, unlike those who are hypocritical and have ulterior motives. If possible, I'd prefer you to be the one who stays with me until the end, so that the duel can be fairer."

"So you're quite righteous after all."

Dou Qinhu smiled and said, "There's no such thing as justice or injustice. It's just that at the right time, we are all forced to make choices. Sometimes, the choice doesn't have to be about maximizing benefits; it should be about being the most correct and reliable. What do you think?"

Wei Tu blinked, about to say something.

A sound came from the wind.

"They're here!"

The shouts came.

Wei Tu turned around and looked over. Several figures were faintly visible in the sky above the bamboo forest.

Dou Qinhu leaned against the bamboo behind him and smiled, "This is your last chance. Do you want to reconsider? Even if you are very strong, the cost to you if you win will be unimaginable. These people are not the kind of people you can slaughter pigs and sheep for. You should be able to make that judgment."

Jiang Ying had already taken out a large knife from the side.

Around them, five people landed at the same time.

"Wei Tu, will you admit defeat gracefully, or will you fight to the bitter end?"

Wei Tu laughed, not for any other reason than because the person who said those words was An Rou, who had used her beauty to seduce him just the day before in his own courtyard.

The female swordswoman from the Cangqing Sect stood with four men, holding her sword in one hand and pointing it at Wei Tu, who seemed to be firmly locked onto by the five men.

“Miss An, we have some friendship between us, yet you come here and immediately send someone to deal with me. It’s really heartbreaking.”

An Rou sneered.

“Wei Tu, being so naive is not a good thing. You’ve been an enemy ever since you refused to join forces.”

Wei Tu shook his head regretfully, "I thought we were friends, even if a deal falls through, we can still be on good terms."

"Miss An, don't waste your breath on him. This kid talks too much and is probably waiting for someone."

A young man holding two swords said this, clearly impatient.

An Rou nodded.

Just as he raised his sword, Wei Tu in the center suddenly turned his head to look in the other direction.

"Dou Qinhu, does your suggestion to join forces still stand?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the effeminate young man holding a knife in his hands.

An Rou frowned.

"Dou Qinhu, you didn't want to be with us, so now you're determined to be with him?"

Dou Qinhu slowly released his grip, then held the knife in one hand.

He glanced at An Rou.
