nIn the middle of a lush forest, a group of cultivators was rushing along a small path in the forest.

nThey were all wearing the same style of clothes, as if they were disciples of some faction. The leader was a female cultivator, the one who had appeared in the Maple Leaf Forest.

nThis female cultivator was an inner disciple of the Spirit Firmament Sect. Her name was Yun Bing, and she was the daughter of the sect master of the Spirit Firmament Sect, Yun Mofeng.

nHer talent was extremely high, and she had already stepped into the core formation realm at the age of 20.

nSuch talent was one of the top existences in the central sky region, and the Spirit Firmament Sect had long treated Yun Bing as a treasure.

nWith Yun Bing’s talent, she would definitely be able to break through to the nascent soul stage and step into the soul formation realm in the future, and the entire Spirit Firmament Sect would become a second-tier faction in one fell swoop.

nBeside Yun Bing was a handsome man who was also wearing the uniform of an inner sect disciple of the Spirit Firmament Sect. He was Yun Bing’s senior brother, Zhou Xiaojian. His strength was also in the early stage of the core formation realm, and his talent was not too bad.

nThey had both stepped into the core formation realm at a young age of 25, and Zhou Xiaojian seemed to have taken a liking to Yun Bing.

nAfter that, there was a third cultivator in the early stage of the core formation realm. He was a relatively strong cultivator called Tai Shan. The Spirit Firmament Sect’s uniform could not hide his strong muscles, his muscular body gave off an extremely reliable and secure feeling.

nBehind the three of them were three late stage foundation establishment disciples, two women and one man.

nThis time, Yun Bing had originally brought three late stage foundation establishment outer sect disciples out for training. Who knew that Zhou Xiaojian was like a mangy dog. When he heard that she was going out for training, he shamelessly followed her.

nHe had snatched the spot of an outer court disciple. This was also the reason why Yun Bing did not pay much attention to Zhou Xiaojian. She could not stand that kind of bullying. Perhaps it was because she had a little protective desire in her heart. She could not help but feel pity for the weak things.

nTherefore, those who were familiar with Yun Bing knew that she was a pretty woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

n“Junior sister, do you think this flower is beautiful?” Zhou Xiaojian found a blue flower from somewhere. This flower was surrounded by spiritual energy and was emitting a faint blue light.

nAt the back, the two female outer court disciples who were in the late stage of the foundation establishment realm were already looking at each other. The two of them whispered to each other.

n“Senior brother Zhou is really good to senior sister. He is handsome, gentle, and romantic.”

nA female cultivator’s eyes were filled with peach-pink color, as if she was fantasizing about something.

n“If senior brother Zhou gave this to me… Oh my god, just thinking about it makes my heart beat faster.”

n“Forget it, you’re not even as pretty as me. If senior brother Zhou wants to look at someone, he’ll look at me first,” the other female cultivator also said with infatuation.

nBecause of this, the two female cultivators almost quarreled. At this time, the male cultivator, who was also an outer sect disciple, said somewhat bitterly, “come on, everyone in the entire spirit firmament sect knows that senior brother Zhou is interested in senior sister Yun. Compared to her, the two of you have no chance.”

nWhen the male cultivator mentioned Yun Bing, admiration flashed across his eyes. However, he knew that Yun Bing would never take a fancy to him. Therefore, this thought was deeply buried in the bottom of his heart.

nIn front of him, Tai Shan scanned his surroundings. He could not be bothered to care about the love between men and women. He only had one goal in his heart, and that was to become stronger! Become stronger!

nObviously, under Tai Shan’s seemingly simple and honest expression, he was someone with a story.

nWhen Zhou Xiaojian, who was leaning close to Yun Bing, heard the conversation behind him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He thought to himself that these junior brothers and sisters were really good at assisting him.

nEven if his junior sister, who had always been as cold as an ice mountain, would melt a little bit to him today, right?

nZhou Xiaojian thought so, but who knew that Yun Bing would still treat him coldly. She took an extra step to the side and kept a distance from the blue flower as she said coldly, “senior brother Zhou, please keep a distance from me. I don’t like flowers.”

nShe covered her nose with her jade-like hands, and an uncomfortable expression appeared on her ice-cold face.

nNot all girls liked flowers. For example, ever since she was young, she felt uncomfortable when she smelled the fragrance of flowers. Even now, she was still in the core formation realm, and she still could not change her reaction.

nMaybe it was because of her constitution? Only the people closest to her knew about her reaction, and ordinary people did not know at all. Therefore, Zhou Xiaojian’s seemingly quick-witted romantic behavior was completely disgusting to her.

nAt this time, Zhou Xiaojian saw that Yun Bing’s reaction towards him had become even colder. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Then, he threw away the flower in his hand, he continued to approach her with a cheeky smile and fawn over her.

n“Ah, sorry, sorry. I didn’t know that junior sister you don’t like flowers. Then, junior sister, what kind of things do you like?”

nYun Bing did not even look at Zhou Xiaojian. Just as she was about to say no, Tai Shan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shouted, “Stop! There’s movement!”

nThe group of people suddenly stopped moving forward. As the leader, Yun Bing felt a little guilty. She was not the first to feel that there was a strange movement around her.

nIn her opinion, she had failed as the leader, but she did not lose heart and looked around with full attention.

nAs they focused on their surroundings, in their eyes, a figure fell to the ground from a tree in the distance.

n“Ouch– it hurts, it hurts, it hurts.”

nSu Yi rubbed his head and climbed up from the ground, looking a little disheveled.

nAt first, he had finally sensed the presence of a human cultivator. He had wanted to make a good first impression and how a handsome appearance, but he did not expect that Little Xie actually tripped him. Only then did he fall from the tree with his head on the ground.

nWhen he got up, he wanted to find Little Xie to settle the score, but he soon found that a group of cultivators was staring at him from afar.

n“Ahem, hello!” He waved his hand and greeted them. Yun Bing and the others immediately heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that it was a human cultivator. They thought that it was some demon beast that had attacked them.

nHowever, even so, they could not let down their guard. It was not like they had never encountered a fight between cultivators who were secretly plotting against each other. In the face of a cultivator who had suddenly appeared, it was better to be careful.

nVery soon, Su Yi slowly arrived in front of them. Tai Shan glanced at Yun Bing, who nodded. Subsequently, Tai Shan used his gong-like voice to shout at him.

n“Who are you?”

nAt the same time, a core formation aura pressed down on him and locked onto him.

nSu Yi’s expression changed slightly. He thought to himself, could it be that the first cultivator he saw in the central sky region was the kind that committed all kinds of evil? Was he that unlucky?

nHe revealed a trace of aura. This aura was of the late stage of the foundation establishment realm. This would make the other party think that he was only at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.

nHe glanced at the other party. There were a total of three early stage core formation realm cultivators and three late stage foundation establishment realm cultivators. The lineup seemed pretty good. Therefore, he raised his hands and said with an embarrassed smile.

n“Fellow Daoists, don’t misunderstand. I was just lost in this forest. I just wanted to ask for directions.”
