Chapter 365: Teaming Up (1/2)

Wang Xiaoyun's companions were all shocked when they heard the tone of voice that she used. Although she was clearly stating that she had no interest in traveling together with this Xue Wei, her voice was so soft that it was hard to believe her, and her cheeks were flushed red, her eyes lowered and her hands tightly clenched.

She was clearly nervous. The Elders of the Murdering Heavens Sect were unaware that their sect master could actually look so feminine, look so innocent, and behave like a girl her age.

While two of the Elders found it endearing, another three were unhappy. The three that were unhappy were all young men, and they too had been chasing the Sect Master, but she had never paid any attention to any man before, so who was this person who was able to cause her to become like this?

”You heard our sect leader,” one of them rushed up to say, ”we are not willing to travel together with you.”

Xue Wei glanced at the speaking person; his eyes narrowing slightly. Who was this fly that was around his Wang Xiaoyun? It was clear he had some ulterior motives, was it time for him to do a spring cleaning amongst Wang Xiaoyun's companions?

After calming down for a moment, Xue Wei thought against it. Although it might be what he truly wanted to do, he was not willing to anger Wang Xiaoyun when they had just met again.

Wang Xiaoyun was also displeased with this Elder. Although she had said that she was not willing, she knew that both from a tactical point of view and from a personal point of view, she really wanted them to travel together.

”Be quiet,” Xue Wei said as he looked at the two Elders. Although he would not kill them, that did not mean that he would be friendly towards them. They were, after all, rivals in love.

Xue Wei did not have too much confidence in himself. Wang Xiaoyun had left him once before, and he understood her hatred towards the beasts.

He could not blame her, as Chu Huiyin had killed her entire Wayfarer tribe, but he was unable to change his heritage too. Although he was a bit unsure about what exactly he was, he knew that part of him was a beast, and that was what she hated most.

But when he heard her soft-spoken voice and saw her reactions to him, he felt as if spring had arrived. It was as if a breeze was sweeping across his frozen heart and letting him taste the sweetness of warmth once more.

He still had a chance!

”Looking at your group, you are likely not to have been able to go against the other groups that are currently occupying summer,” Xue Wei began analyzing. ”Your group is small, and the strength is not considered top tier here within the Ascended's Realm.”

”That is correct,” Wang Xiaoyun did not hide the truth as she nodded her head.

”So far, we have managed to get rid of both the Ouyang family, but also the Dongfang family,” Xue Wei continued. He was not intending to brag but use their achievements to get the Chang'an group to realize that working with them would be beneficial.

Everyone from the group that originated from Chang'an was unaware of who the Ouyang and the Dongfang families were.

As inhabitants of Chang'an, they were completely unaware of the outside world. They knew nothing of the power structure, and all they knew had been taught by Lan, which meant that they knew barely anything.

”Where have you been?” Finally, Wang Xiaoyun could not hesitate to ask the question that had bugged her for a long time.

She had been looking around for traces from Xue Wei, but it was as if he ha vanished into thin air.

After her last meeting with him, where she ran away after realizing his real heritage, she had not heard any news of him. However, his pictures had been spread all over the entire continent; he was known as one of the most wanted beasts around.

She had also heard what the other Elder had said. One of Xue Wei's companions was a wanted person by the Diviners. To be wanted by the Diviners was in no way less troublesome. However, the two of them were unharmed an even much stronger than before.

Wang Xiaoyun had thought that she had raised her strength at a tremendous pace because of her wayfarer bloodline, but when she compared herself to Xue Wei, it was still worse.

One has to remember that when they first met, Wang Xiaoyun was stronger than Xue Wei, but now that they had met again after such a long separation, Xue Wei had far overtaken her.

Hei Gou was also much stronger now than before, and Lin Xiao should not be belittled either. Luoluo and Bai Tianyi were a bit more mysterious, and because of them being spirits, it was impossible for her to see their actual strength.

If it were merely Xue Wei, who had advanced by leaps and bounds, she would not be so shocked, but seeing that they had all grown so much more than herself. Just what had they experienced during the time they had been apart?

”I've been to a continent called Yan Dalu, and now I am here to represent the Demon Phoenix Continent.”

Xue Wei did not hide anything and smiled as he spoke. ”I am not sure where the rest of the team has gone, but it should still be possible to meet up with them later.”

Wang Xiaoyun nodded her head and decided that it would be a good idea to work with Xue Wei. Their group was simply too weak on their own, and if they wanted to fight for some better resources, then they had to team up with someone, but being from Chang'an was making this hard.
