Seeing Tang Yu's reaction and the blush on this beautiful young master's face, Ji Chengtian and the others were enlightened.
Initially, Tang Yu was mischievous and wanted to tease Xiaoning. However, she was bullied by Su Zimo instead.
Everyone suppressed their laughter and looked at Tang Yu and Su Zimo.
Although Tang Yu was dressed as a man, she was a woman after all and was thin-skinned. How could she take everyone's teasing gazes? Raising her head, she turned to leave in a huff.
Xiaoning looked at Tang Yu's departing back view with a dazed gaze and did not recover for a long time.
"Xiaoning, don't think too much."
Su Zimo coughed gently and patted Xiaoning on the shoulder.
Turning to look at Su Zimo, Xiaoning frowned slightly and asked in disbelief, "Is Young Master Tang really a woman?"
Su Zimo nodded.
"Sigh."
Xiaoning sighed gently and could not conceal the disappointment in her eyes.
Su Zimo smiled bitterly to himself. Xiaoning was at the age where a young girl was in love for the first time. To think that the person who moved her heart would be a woman.
Thankfully, the two of them had not known each other for long and there was nothing more after he pointed it out.
Before long, Xiaoning recovered and came before Su Zimo, saying seriously, "Brother, I want to join Elixir Yang Sect."
"Why?"
Although Su Zimo had already vaguely guessed the reason, he still asked.
Xiaoning said, "If there's a place in Tianhuang Mainland with an elixir recipe that can increase one's lifespan, it must be in Elixir Yang Sect. I want to give it a try!"
Indeed, it was as Su Zimo had expected.
In reality, Xiaoning's greatest motivation and reason for becoming an Elixir Refinement Master was to learn and refine elixirs that could increase one's lifespan.
Their elder brother, Su Hong, was only a mortal and could not cultivate. He had less than a hundred years of lifespan.
Xiaoning wanted to increase her elder brother's lifespan so that he could live on as much as possible. That was why she chose to become an Elixir Refinement Master.
However, in the cultivation world, the rarest type of elixir was one that could increase one's lifespan.
Not to mention the Azure Frost Sect, such a pill had never appeared in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty's territory, let alone the pill formula.
It is a rare chance. Ning doesn't want to give it up!
In reality, Su Zimo hoped that Xiaoning would join Elixir Yang Sect as well.
Firstly, the enmity between him and Blood Crow Palace was extremely deep. When he returned to the sect, it was very likely that he would experience a life and death calamity. If Xiao Ning joins the Pill Yang Sect, she will be able to avoid this calamity.
Secondly, Elixir Yang Sect was one of the four unorthodox groups. It had a strong foundation and was not weak. It was far from what Azure Frost Sect could compare to and was suitable for Xiaoning's path of cultivation.
Su Zimo said, "Alright, I'll get Night Spirit to accompany you."
After all, Su Zimo did not know much about Elixir Yang Sect. He would only feel more assured if Night Spirit was by Xiaoning's side.
Su Zimo turned around and looked at Ji Chengtian and the others. After pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "I'll stay in Xuantian City for the time being. You guys recuperate and rest before leaving this place as soon as possible."
Little Fatty frowned and shouted, "Bro, we'll leave together if we leave together. We'll stay together if we stay!"
"That's right," Ji Chengtian nodded as well.
Su Zimo waved it off. "I'm the target of the three Mounted Bandits. If I leave with you guys, none of us will be able to escape. I'm strong enough to protect myself. However, you guys will only die for nothing if you stay in the city. There's no need to be impulsive. "
Ji Chengtian and the others fell silent.
They knew that Su Zimo was speaking the truth.
The three Mounted Bandits had seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators and at least hundreds of six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators under them.
Given the strength of Ji Chengtian and the others, they would not be able to survive the attacks of hundreds of desperadoes even if they were in peak condition.
Right now, they were of little help to Su Zimo and were even a burden to him.
Leaving Su Zimo and Xuantian City might be the best choice for them.
…
In reality, Su Zimo did not have no chance of winning against seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
As long as he released his blood qi, his strength would rise to another level with the help of his demonic qi and he would definitely be able to fight against seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
However, that way, he would also become a target for everyone and attract even stronger enemies. In fact, he might even be surrounded by all the cultivators of Xuantian City!
However, if he were to hide his demonic qi and only channel his bloodline, Su Zimo would only be able to fight evenly against seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators with Blood Quencher's help.
It would be extremely difficult to defeat or even kill seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Unless he could clear his mouth, eye and seven orifices within a short period of time and attain lesser mastery of the Orifice Clearing section.
However, that was not realistic.
In other words, Su Zimo's only chance was to hold out against the attacks of the three Mounted Bandits for 15 minutes and wait for Elixir Yang Sect's help!
"15 minutes …"
Su Zimo murmured softly and a cold glint flashed through his eyes as he began cultivating.
The next morning, Tang Yu did not appear. An Elixir Yang Sect disciple came to ask about Su Zimo's decision.
"I'll stay."
Su Zimo replied before looking at Su Xiaoning. "Xiaoning will return with you. Please pass on the message to Young Master Tang that I hope he can take good care of her."
The Elixir Yang Sect disciple smiled gently. "Young Master already expected that and asked me to pass on the message to you beforehand. He'll definitely protect Xiaoning well, don't worry."
"Also, here are the recovery elixirs that senior brother gave you guys. You might be able to use them."
Before leaving, the Elixir Yang Sect disciple tossed a storage bag to Su Zimo. There were many jade bottles inside that contained different types of elixirs.
Su Zimo took a quick glance and did not notice any perfect-grade elixirs. Hence, he passed them all to Ji Chengtian and the others.
Accompanied by the Night Spirit, Xiaoning left with the Elixir Yang Sect disciple.
Su Zimo continued cultivating.
In such a pressing situation, the fifth spirit meridian in his body was slowly appearing – there was a chance that he could unlock it in the next few days!
With the help of the recovery elixirs given by Tang Yu, the injuries of Ji Chengtian and the others healed extremely quickly. After another day, everyone was mostly healed.
This morning, Su Zimo said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Ji, you guys should leave today. The three Mounted Bandits will return at any moment and it'll be too late if you delay things. "
"Alright,"
Ji Chengtian nodded without hesitation.
Leng Rou, Little Fatty and Shi Jian stood up one after another and bade farewell to Su Zimo as well.
Along the way, the three of them were silent, as though each of them had their own thoughts.
After leaving Xuantian City and standing at the South gate, Little Fatty suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. "Senior Brother Ji, Sister Leng Rou and Silly Jian, I intend to roam the ancient battlefield alone from now on. Let's part ways here."
"I'm not silly," Shi Jian muttered.
Leng Rou nodded with an indifferent expression. "Alright."
Ji Chengtian smiled. "I had the same intention as well. After today's farewell, I don't know when we'll meet again. Everyone … take care."
"Take care!"
Everyone cupped their fists. Ji Chengtian, Leng Rou and Little Fatty split in three different directions and left on their swords. Before long, they disappeared from sight, leaving Shi Jian on the spot.
Scratching his head, Shi Jian chose a random direction and sprinted off in huge strides.
