The first thousand two hundred and fifty-seven chapters
Chapter 1257: Traveling Together
Facing that cold peerless face, Bi Fan could only sigh in confusion: "I'm a grown man. It doesn't matter if I encounter some danger while walking. It's just a matter of life safety. Besides, I have the means to save my life, but I really can't beat him."
There is still a chance to escape."
"Your girl's family is different. If you meet some bandits and gangsters and have any ill intentions towards you, then the problem will be serious."
Hearing this, Chu Qingjue's face became slightly hot. He lowered his eyes and whispered softly: "As a fellow cultivator, I shouldn't be as exaggerated as you said."
Bi Fan raised his eyebrows lightly. He didn't know whether this girl really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand. He just smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. People's hearts are sinister. How do you know that others don't think so?"
Chu Qingjue fell silent. She also knew that it was a bit impulsive for her to leave the team like this, but the situation at that time made it impossible for her to make a choice.
I finally found someone who could remove the evil spirit poison for my grandfather, but when I returned home, I had a premonition that he was being hunted down by his fellow disciples.
Although Mu Yi tried her best to deny it, she knew that those people would never disappear for no reason. Under urgent questioning, he finally made him angrily confess the truth, and in turn asked herself why she was so protective of a foreigner.
Due to some reasons, she couldn't truthfully explain the reasons behind it. She could only use the reason that everyone had the same strength to fight against the demons and could not kill each other.
However, Mu Yi also scoffed at this and warned in a cold voice that if she insisted on intervening in this matter, it would be tantamount to betraying Wuji Palace.
She didn't want to stay with such an overbearing and authoritarian person for a moment, so she left the team angrily and decided to act alone. However, this completely worsened the relationship between the two.
However, she fully understood this matter. The seemingly neutral elder Baili in the sect had completely joined the palace master's faction. This was not good news for them.
After gathering her thoughts, she raised her chin and looked at Bi Fan. There was a kind of resilience in her soft voice: "Maybe, thank you for reminding me, I will be more careful."
As she spoke, she raised her steps, wearing a silver-white dress with ribbons and long hair flying in the dim night, her back was resolute and firm.
Bi Fan sighed silently in his heart. He knew that the reason this girl had a fight with everyone in Wuji Palace must be because of him.
If he ignores her, if something unexpected happens to this girl, his conscience will be troubled day and night; secondly, he will feel a little ashamed of her original intention of protecting him.
Finally, after Chu Qingjue's figure gradually faded away, he tapped his toes lightly on the ground and quickly caught up with her footsteps.
Hearing the noise coming from behind, Chu Qingjue frowned slightly, turned around silently and looked at him and said: "I don't need your protection, I don't like to owe others favors."
Bi Fan tilted his head slightly, folded his hands lazily behind his head, and said with a smile: "Miss Chu, you are worrying too much. This is the path I want to take. How can I say that I am protecting you?"
She was slightly startled. Obviously, in her daily cultivation environment, she had never encountered a scoundrel like Bi Fan. She immediately had no choice but to pretend she didn't see him and continue walking on her own path.
Bi Fan was behind her, not too far or too close, as long as he could make sure there was no strange smell around her.
Not long after, night fell completely, with only a half-curved moon hanging in the dark blue and deep sky. The dim light was not enough to illuminate the vast land. Bi Fan unconsciously narrowed the distance between him and the silver-white figure.
, after all, the darker the environment, the harder it is to see everything clearly.
Chu Qingjue held the long sword in his hand. Seeing that everything he could see was already dark mountains and jungles, he had no intention of continuing on.
He stopped and looked around, chose a big, strong tree, cut off some extra branches and leaves, sat down half-relying on the trunk, closed his eyes and rested.
Bi Fan walked to the bottom of the big tree with a smile on his face, picked up a few leaves and branches, and used a flame to ignite the dead leaves. A small bonfire slowly rose in the night.
And rise.
Chu Qingjue glanced sideways, frowning slightly as she wanted to say something, but in the end it was her character that made her remain silent.
Until Bi Fan's fire burned bigger and bigger, bright enough to clearly reflect the firelight on her cheeks, she finally couldn't help but ask: "In this wilderness, without the danger of the enemy, how can we light a fire?"
A firewood pile doesn't seem like a wise choice, right? If it attracts the attention of enemies or wild beasts, can you handle it single-handedly?"
Bi Fan raised his head and glanced at her, the smile on his face not diminishing, but he didn't respond.
With a casual grab, he found a hare that he had hunted from nowhere. He plucked it out, cleaned it, and then put it on a wooden stick and slowly roasted it on the fire.
He turned the wooden stick leisurely and contentedly, and from time to time sprinkled some broken leaves or powdery objects on it. Soon, the aroma of meat mixed with medicinal herbs spread with the breeze.
This made Chu Qingjue, who was leaning against the tree, frowning more and more. She didn't expect that this guy ignored her words at all and behaved like this. He was clearly trying to seduce her, who hadn't eaten for most of the day.
But even though she was a little unhappy in her heart, she still resisted her hunger and greed, folded her hands around her chest and turned away, keeping her eyes out of sight and her mind at peace.
The time of burning incense has passed, but the roaring sound of the firewood pile below is still heard, which is particularly clear in the quiet night.
Chu Qingjue's brows furrowed even tighter. Just when he was about to open his eyes and say something, he silently saw a roasted hare stretched out in front of him, which was brown and exuded an alluring aroma.
She couldn't help but be stunned, her eyes flickering as she looked at the familiar face smiling at her.
Bi Fan weighed his hands and said naturally: "Take it, I don't like to owe favors. Didn't you run all the way out just because you were afraid that I would be killed by the people from your Wuji Palace? This
I mean, it’s not an exaggeration to eat a rabbit.”
Seeing what he said, Chu Qingjue's expression calmed down a little. After hesitating for a moment, he took the hare and asked, "What about you?"
"Of course I roasted two." Bi Fan smiled and took out another rabbit from his body, which was obviously a size smaller. Before he could put it in his mouth, she snatched it away and took the other one.
The big one was stuffed back into his hand, and he started to eat it gracefully.
Bi Fan just smiled silently, and the two of them sat on the tree trunk and finished eating the hare without saying a word, and most of the firewood pile underneath was extinguished.
Chu Qingjue used her spiritual power to shatter a tree trunk and threw it towards the fire accurately, keeping it burning.
Seeing this, Bi Fan smiled and asked, "Aren't you worried that it will attract enemies or wild beasts?"
"You're not worried, so why should I be worried?" She said calmly, as if something really happened, and you should solve it yourself if you cause it.
