Chapter 162 (2/2)

He wanted to shout loudly at this moment, but Li Muxue was here. He could not show this kind of emotion. He put the sadness aside, walked through the bamboo forest, and there was a flower forest in front of him. Li Muxue seemed to be unhappy all the way, so he asked, “What happened?”

Li Muxue looked sideways and said, “Humph! You are thinking about someone else. It must be Huangfu Xin’er, right?”

Xiao Chen was a bit stunned and said, “No! Xin’er…”

Li Muxue pursed her mouth and looked like she was wronged greatly. “You call her so intimately, and you still said no. It’s right. I heard that she also came to Violet Manor a few months ago. You must want to go meet her again. I was not around for some time, maybe you already…”

Xiao Chen was shocked. “Xin’er also came here?” However, he did not see her in the Skygale Sect last time. If she stayed in the Skygale Sect, what should he do?

Looking back, he found Li Muxue was gone. He turned around and saw her standing at his back, being angry. He smiled and said, “All right, Muxue…”

Li Muxue looked sideways and said, “Who is Muxue? What are we? Call me Miss Li!” Xiao Chen said in surprise, “Didn’t you say that Miss Li sounds bad?”

Li Muxue pretended to be angry and snorted to the sky.

Xiao Chen smiled gently and walked back, taking her hand, saying, “Well, Miss Li, we should proceed, or it’ll go dark. Then the leopard and worms in the mountains would all…”

Before his voice fell, he felt something flying on the left side. He swung his sleeve, and with a few noises, some silver needles stuck into the soil. The end of the silver needle was black. Obviously, they were very poisonous. If it weren’t for his good Divine Sense, they would’ve been killed.

“Who is sneaking! Come out!”

This time was the same. Before his voice fell, a few silver needles arrived. The hidden weapons were sent very fast. They could only hear the sound and could not see their shadows. The person who sent them had extraordinary cultivation, and a normal barrier was hard to block them.

Xiao Chen took Li Muxue and jumped to the sky, standing on a tree. With a few sounds, several silver needles stuck on the trunk of the flower tree. Then, the tree withered instantly.

Xiao Chen was shocked because the weapon was so toxic. Obviously, the person aimed to take their lives. He was annoyed and said, “Who are you exactly? If you don’t come out again, don’t blame me for being rude!”

At this time, a crisp, female voice in the deep forest rose. “Thief! When have you been polite!” As her voice fell, a dozen women in white flashed out of the forest with noise.

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. Everyone was holding a sword, and their costumes were all the same as those of Chu Lingjiao’s girls on that day. They should be disciples of the Heartless Palace. Their eyes were filled with resentment, and they just called him thief. It must have been caused by a misunderstanding. He landed to the ground with Li Muxue and clasped his hands. “Junior sisters, I’m…”

Before he could finish, a woman shouted, “Thief! Do you think that we cannot recognize you if you disguise like this?” Then, a dozen of them immediately formed a sword formation and trapped the two in the center.

A dozen long swords were shining in the sun, just like the golden snakes. Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. Although they only had average cultivation which was about Lv 2 or Lv 3 Foundation Building Realm and it was easy to defeat them, it would offend their master, Huashang, if he attacked them.

While thinking, a long sword suddenly moved. Xiao Chen worried that Li Muxue would be injured, so he caught the blade with two fingers, saying, “Junior sister, listen to me, I’m definitely not some…”

The woman wanted to draw back her long sword, but her strength was not as great as that of him. She was so angry, and the rest of them saw it and attacked after giving battle-cries. In an instant, the wind blew madly, and the sword shadows were moving in disorder.
