Chapter 179 - Jealousy
Dong Yuan, Pann Xiaoying, and the others watched as the two little foxes jumped out and heard a “catch the adulterer.” All of them stared at them with their mouths agape. Then they looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“Follow them.” After a long time, Dong Yuan ordered, “Since it is someone they know, it should not be too dangerous. Maybe we can work together to explore this island.”
Pann Xiaoying snorted, “Maybe they know people from the Snowflake Mansion. They came to find their lover… The demon race is indeed the demon race. They already have a man at such a young age.”
The person who went to check on the island earlier teased, “That person brought two pretty little girls with him. It seems like he is good at this.”
Someone added, “I just don't know how he managed to trick Tu Shan.”
Everyone made wild guesses and discussed for a while. Dong Yuan clapped his hands and ordered them to stop talking and get ready.
“Since we are able to find this place, I don't think he is a good person. Moreover, he found clues before us. It would be best to treat him as an enemy.” Pann Xiaoying said.
Dong Yuan nodded and said, “Be careful. It is best to observe first and keep alert.”
They followed the traces of Si Mi and Su makeup all the way to the side of the stone monument. They saw the young man and four young but very good-looking girls. At first glance, they felt like they had entered the backyard of some sect's dissolute young master.
The few of them were stunned by this scene. They saw that the oldest girl in white had turned around and pulled out her sword. She looked at the crowd with killing intent.
That girl had a slender figure and an exquisite appearance. However, her eyes were cold and full of oppression.
Especially that killing intent. It was as if she had been stared at by that abnormal and terrifying puppet in the tomb. It was terrifying.
The hairs on everyone's body stood up. They knew that this was not a girl in the backyard, but a spider poisonous snake that had chosen to devour people.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Everyone took out their weapons and looked at the girl vigilantly. The atmosphere was a little tense.
In such a crucial place regarding the Martial Emperor's inheritance, the two parties had met on a narrow path. If it wasn't for the two little foxes suddenly running over, the two parties would have already started fighting. Now, they could be considered to have calmed down.
The two little foxes tugged at the corner of Guo Fan's clothes and explained, “Those are the cultivators from the Soul Haunt Ship who came with us.”
Guo Fan nodded his head and helplessly looked at Yijun who suddenly became angry.
He walked forward and reached out his hand to touch Yijun's head. He said in a low voice, “Don't be angry.”
Yijun was expressionless and said faintly, “I am not angry.”
It did not look like she was not angry at all…
Previously, she was still perfectly fine. However, since she dried her clothes earlier, something suddenly did not feel right.
In the past, Yijun had always been very calm and even cold. She definitely wouldn't make a decision on her own. She would listen to Guo Fan and the most important thing was… She had always been hiding in the dark. Every time, she would move quietly in the dark. Even if she showed up, she would keep a very low sense of existence and try her best not to be noticed by others.
But this time, she took the initiative to pull out her sword. Moreover, she did not dodge or avoid it. She looked like she was planning to face it head on. It was very unusual.
This was the first time she showed off so much in front of others.
When she saw Qingfu previously, she already had such a tendency. But now… With the appearance of the two little foxes, Guo Fan had been happily interacting with them for a long time. It seemed to have ignited a fuse in Yijun's heart, causing the usually calm girl to reveal a leopard-like side.
Guo Fan felt that he had smelled jealousy.
This was a subtle change that even the girl herself did not notice. Or rather, she herself did not know what kind of relationship this was, so she did not know how to deal with it.
Guo Fan let the girl put down her sword and waited at the side for orders for the time being. Yijun's movements were not as obedient as before. She walked slowly to stand behind him. She seemed to want to coax him in order to get better, but now she was in front of someone else. Guo Fan did not want to do anything intimate, so he could only let her calm down for the time being.
The atmosphere eased up slightly, but it was still not too good.
Dong Yuan and the others turned their eyes back to Guo Fan. Since the girl who had revealed such killing intent had listened to him, it meant that this young man was the leader among them.
Including the two little foxes, they were now obediently snuggling in his arms.
At such a young age and with such distinctive features, he shouldn't be a nobody.
However, after searching in their minds, they still couldn't find any useful clues.
It was as if a person had appeared out of thin air, and none of the new generation that had made a name for themselves in the cultivation world had met this requirement.
If one were to say that he always had many beautiful women by his side, there was also a “Young Master Wen Qing” Ji Wen who was more suitable. However, as a world-renowned handsome man, who didn't know what Ji Wen looked like? He definitely didn't look like this young man.
Dong Yuan was the first to ask, “As the two Tu Shan men said, this is the Soul Haunt Ship's team. I am Dong Yuan. May I ask who you are?”
“A nobody with the surname Liu, Yuan.” Guo Fan replied, “The inheritance of a Martial Emperor is not easy to find. Why don't we work together for the time being? How about we wait until we find it and then rely on our own abilities? At least Ah Bi and I know each other. We trust each other more than strangers.”
The Soul Haunt Ship had to sign a contract before they set out for a mission. Otherwise, if the people in the team came blindly, their efficiency would definitely drop drastically. Before they completed the mission, they could not kill each other.
Dong Yuan and the others did not expect him to be so straightforward.
However, such straightforward words made them feel relieved. If they were to pretend to be sincere, it would seem that they were plotting something.
Dong Yuan didn't immediately agree. Instead, he said, “What is this stone monument?”
Guo Fan turned to look at the stone monument and said with a smile, “I haven't even had the time to check it when I was interrupted by these two little fellows.”
Si Mi puffed up her cheeks and said, “Anyway, this thing is right here. It is not like you can run. If you are late, you will be late.”
Guo Fan could only answer properly.
He said to those people, “Why don't I give this opportunity to everyone.”
Once Guo Fan said this, Dong Yuan's team immediately began whispering. Dong Yuan cupped his hands and said loudly, “Many thanks for Fellow Daoists's good intentions, but it was you who discovered it after all. How can we have the face to take advantage of it?”
Obviously, he did not trust Guo Fan.
Guo Fan's plan to use people to probe had failed. He shook his head regretfully and said, “Alright, let me take a look. It is rare to see such a humble person like Brother Tang this year.”
Dong Yuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, “No, no, no.”
They saw Guo Fan reach out his hand to touch the stone tablet that looked very suspicious.
Suddenly, a woman's call for help came from afar.
