These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

A horse's hoof trampled the chest of a man at the city gate who had no time to dodge.

She rushed into the city, and the troops behind her followed like a confluence of rivers, arriving in an endless stream.

"Oops!"

Tuoba Rouran's eyes widened, and he finally realized that things were not as he thought. He was about to shout loudly.

Then a familiar figure came rushing toward the city wall. He was carrying a large sword and had a noticeable scar on his face.

"Xiao Ziyi!"

Tuoba Rouran revealed his name.

Xiao Ziyi appeared on the city wall, holding a large sword.

"My dear brother, it's time we settled things!"

-

Where are we going?

The little fox has been very well-behaved lately, and she has learned more or less about some things. Even though Mu Xitong deliberately doesn't tell her, she can tell from the expressions of others and the recent changes in the atmosphere that something bad has happened to her master.

Mu Xitong patted the little fox's head. "I'll go get some medicinal herbs and show you around while I'm at it. Are you happy?"

The little fox looked up and smiled; she was still beautiful, though she seemed like a flower that might wither at any moment. Her pale face couldn't be concealed by rouge or powder. "If Master is happy, then I'm happy. Is Master happy?"

Mu Xitong smiled as she watched the light array gradually dim, and saw the boy standing silently with his back to them.

"Yes, I'm very happy."

That's good!

The little fox rubbed against her palm, behaving as docilely as a well-behaved child.

Wei Tu did not turn around.

He knew that while others were being kind and gentle, he was the least qualified to be. It wasn't that he couldn't, but there were some things he had to do himself.

He cherishes the chance to start over; he doesn't expect the world to give him more—gentleness, happiness, ease... such desires are unrealistic.

He can get tired, he can carry the burden on his shoulders and keep going.

This is all repayment, and it's a repayment he willingly made.

The light array dispersed.

Wei Tu and Mu Xitong behind him appeared in front of the teleportation stone tablet at the same time.

At the same time, Wei Tu immediately noticed several young men and women looking at him with puzzled expressions.

"Who...are you?"

Wei Tu glanced at Mu Xitong.

Mu Xitong took the initiative to speak.

"We were sent by the Yuanjian Sect to gather herbs. Who are you?"

The young man in the lead asked warily, "You claim to be from the Yuanjian Sect, carrying out a mission for the Demon Hunting Manor. Do you have any proof?"

Without wasting any words, Wei Tu directly tossed over a disciple's name tag.

The young man accepted the wooden plaque.

Then he handed it to a pretty girl next to him.

"Wanwan, take a look."

The girl named Wanwan looked at the brand name, then at the handsome but calm-looking boy, and then lowered her head.

"These are the name tags of disciples from the Yuanjian Sect, there's no mistake..."

The young man was slightly relieved and returned the name tag to Wei Tu, bowing respectfully.

"I am Mo Yao, a true disciple of the Demon Hunting Manor."

Before Wei Tu could speak, Mu Xitong said, "Mu Rou is a disciple of the Yuanjian Sect."

Wei Tu instantly understood Mu Xitong's meaning. She didn't want to reveal her real name, either because she was worried about others gossiping about their relationship, or because she wanted to relax and didn't want to bear any identity.

So Wei Tu cupped his hands and said, "Disciple of the Yuanjian Sect, Wei An." PS: My cold feels worse. I took a nap this afternoon and slept straight until noon. I almost thought I wouldn't wake up; I feel weak all over…

60. Where do you want to be?

Wei Tu had some impression of the Demon Hunter Manor, but they didn't interact much. However, one of the unique features of this sect was that their disciples usually practiced on demonic beasts.

The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was their hunting ground.

It is said that there is a trial in the sect where disciples must go deep into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to hunt down several demonic beasts in order to pass.

Although the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain has been cleaned up quite thoroughly by several sects, the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain remain a forbidden zone for humans.

You never know the true strength of the monsters hiding inside; a powerful beast you've never even heard of might suddenly appear.

Because of this tradition, although there are not many disciples in the Demon Hunting Manor, those who survive can be considered elites. Moreover, unlike disciples from other sects, each of them has a wealth of practical combat experience.

"Miss Mu, Young Hero Wei. This is my junior sister, Tu Shan Wanwan."

Sitting in the simply set up camp, the young people greeted them in a fairly friendly manner.

Mo Yao smiled and introduced the pretty young woman sitting next to him. Wei Tu glanced at her.

"Tushan is an uncommon surname."

The little girl blinked and said, "But I don't think I've ever heard of either of you in the Yuanjian Sect."

Mo Yao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "My junior sister is very outspoken, please don't mind her."

Wei Tu shook his head and said with a smile, "Who has Miss Wanwan ever heard of?"

Tu Shan Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Ying... Qiao Zhiheng, oh, and Wei Tu. Have you met them?"

Mu Xitong held the little fox beside her, suppressing her laughter, while Wei Tu said in a very ordinary manner, "Of course we've met, but we don't have any deep relationship. It's just a matter of nodding and greeting each other."

"Oh...that's a pity."

It's unclear what this girl was regretting, but when Wei Tu and Mo Yao were talking, the girl's eyes kept darting around his face, as if she was very curious about something.

"Are you planning to venture deep into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain this time?"

Mo Yao asked.

Wei Tu nodded. "Yes, we need to collect some special medicinal herbs, which are not available in the surrounding areas."

Mo Yao said thoughtfully, "What a coincidence, we're also going deep into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain..."

"You went in to hunt monsters?"

Mo Yao shook his head. "I don't know."

"do not know?"

The young man sighed.

"Recently, someone saw black mist rising into the sky from the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. The demonic energy inside has suddenly become very dense. Something may have happened. We need to go in and take a look, get some firsthand information, and bring it back to the sect."

"Black mist soared into the sky..."

Wei Tu thought for a moment, and there was nothing strange about looking at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

Mo Yao nodded. "Yes, even the elders in the manor have never seen anything like this before, so they dare not act rashly. That's why we're taking the lead. Since we're all going deep into the mountains, why don't we travel together and look after each other?"

Mo Yao offered his suggestions in a very amicable manner.

Before Wei Tu could answer, a young man on the other side, holding a sword with both hands, who looked arrogant and whose face practically screamed "unruly arrogance," said, "Why should we, who are gathering herbs and hunting, take care of them? Should we ask him to treat us?"

"Mo Qiu!"

Mo Yao scoffed.

The boy named Mo Qiu seemed used to it, and without saying much, he snorted coldly, picked up his sword, and turned to leave.

Mo Yao looked at Wei Tu and Mu Xitong apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, this is my younger brother... He's a bit proud, but he's not a bad person."

Wei Tu truly couldn't tell that they were brothers; they looked completely different.

"It's okay, young people are all like that."

"Then do you want to...?"

Wei Tu shook his head and said, "We should go the same way. We're heading south. Our strength isn't that great, so we shouldn't be a burden to you."

After speaking, Wei Tu stood up and glanced at Mu Xitong, who was standing to the side and had been quiet but looked relatively normal.

The woman also gracefully rose to her feet.

We'll be going now.

Mo Yao sighed and nodded, "Alright, but Young Hero Wei, the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain are not the same as the outer area. Be careful and don't take any risks."

Wei Tu smiled and nodded, "Alright, everyone too."

After saying this, Wei Tu and Mu Xitong left without saying anything more.

After the two people and the fox left.

Tu Shan Wanwan said to the man beside her, "They said they came to gather herbs, but it doesn't seem that simple. The woman next to Wei An has a very weak aura, and something seems wrong with her. She shouldn't be able to travel far, let alone to such a dangerous place."

Mo Yao nodded and said, "It's definitely not simple. Two people dared to go deep into the area without changing their expressions and with ease. They must be quite something... But does the Yuanjian Sect really have these two people? They might be using aliases."

"What should we do? Should we try to persuade them to stay?"

Tu Shan Wanwan's eyes flickered slightly as she spoke.

Mo Yao shook his head. "Forget it, they probably have other things to do, so it's not convenient for us to go together. Let's rest, and once we're ready, we'll head deeper into the area."

Why didn't you go with them?

"Holding the little fox, Mu Xitong asked softly."

Wei Tu walked beside her and said with a smile, "It wasn't about the same goal to begin with. If something else happens, should I accommodate them or they accommodate me? It's better to just let some casual encounters pass by, at least we can leave a good impression in the future."

"You're quite cunning."
