The more she cultivated with Xie Tian, the more Bell felt that Xie Tian was unfathomable.
Thus, she believed that Xie Tian was the true Senior Brother of Mu Ye Cave.
An Xi, on the other hand, didn't have the guts to stand in front of his Third Junior Brother, even if he didn't fully believe that the person who saved him was Xie Tian.
Thus, even though Xie Tian took the initiative to stand where he was supposed to, the two people who were supposed to stand in front of him moved to stand behind him.
"What's the matter?" Mu Ye looked at his servant in confusion.
The owner of the twelve small swords, the many questions he had about the trap … Xie Tian had a lot of them.
However, he knew that even if he asked, Mu Ye wouldn't answer, so he took three steps back and let Bell take her place.
Mu Ye smiled at the sight of Bell, but then he sighed. "It's time to take on a mission."
Both Bell and An Xi's expressions turned solemn.
The first mission was especially difficult and important for the frost level assassins of the Underworld Cave.
If they failed, they would be stripped of their status as frost level assassins and become slaves of the Underworld Cave for the rest of their lives.
"But I believe that," Mu Ye said with a smile, his eyes moving back and forth between Bell and An Xi. "With your strength, you two should be able to complete the first mission easily."
"I will do my best to live up to the name Mu Ye."
"Haha."
Mu Ye chuckled and began to examine his disciple.
Without Xie Tian's permission, Bell didn't dare to reveal her identity. After a moment of hesitation, she first mentioned the challenges of the frost level assassins in the three caves, then began to demonstrate what she had learned in her recent cultivation.
Bell's rapid progress almost made Mu Ye jump in joy. For a moment, the cave was filled with his maniacal laughter.
"It's your turn." Mu Ye turned to An Xi.
An Xi subconsciously glanced at Bell. When he saw Bell's "I didn't lie to you" expression, he took a deep breath and began to demonstrate what he had learned from Xie Tian.
"Huh?" Mu Ye's green eyes lit up. "You've impressed me. Eldest Senior Sister must have taught you something, right?"
An Xi didn't know if his master was praising him or not. "Uh, yes, yes …"
"You're lucky to have an Eldest Senior Sister like Bell …" Mu Ye sighed and looked at Bell. "But you can't delay your cultivation for Junior Brother's sake, understand?"
Bell's face twitched as she awkwardly nodded.
Mu Ye hesitated for a moment before glancing at Xie Tian. "You can ask him if you have any questions as long as it doesn't interfere with Second Senior Brother's cultivation.
An Xi finally regained his composure, but his eyes became even more dazed.
He had just used what Half Life had taught him!
He had used Teacher Half!
He had been praised by his master!
"I feel a little dizzy …" For a moment, An Xi's eyes were filled with circles.
Xie Tian nodded, "Yes."
Mu Ye grunted, his green eyes flashing as if he were lost in thought. After a moment, he sighed inwardly and didn't say anything.
Mu Ye's green eyes twinkled as if he was thinking. A moment later, he sighed inwardly but didn't say anything.
Mu Ye smiled. "You've been cultivating the art of traps for several months. I'm very pleased." Mu Ye smiled. "So, what is a trap?"
What is a trap?
Bell subconsciously wanted to look at Xie Tian, but she restrained herself. After a long silence, she said, "Disciple believes that Master's art of traps is a divine ability."
Mu Ye didn't comment. He looked at An Xi.
"Uh …" An Xi paused for a moment, then smiled flatteringly. "Master's art of traps is amazing …"
Mu Ye's green eyes widened.
If it was tens of thousands of years ago, this kind of disciple who said that the Art of Traps was amazing would have already been slapped to the wall by him.
"Sigh …"
Mu Ye's sigh was enough to show his disappointment.
"But it's not bad." Seeing Bell's unease, Mu Ye chuckled. "You've only cultivated for a few months. It's not easy for you to have such insight."
Bell asked doubtfully, "Master, what do you think a trap is?"
Hearing this, Mu Ye's eyes dimmed.
Xie Tian stared at Mu Ye in Silence. It was as if he had entered a different world.
In this world, there was a hunter's child who couldn't hunt because of his frail body. He was laughed at by the villagers.
The child laid out the first crude trap of his life and caught his first prey.
Feeling the joy of success, the little hunter set up a trap in his heart, determined to traverse the mountains.
After traversing the mountains, the savage middle-aged hunter entered the first cultivation sect of his life.
When he discovered that his fellow sect members were just another group of villagers who had laughed at him, the untalented hunter picked up another trap.
Time and time again, his traps allowed him to grow beyond his expectations. Time and time again, his growth spurred his traps to improve.
This pair of good friends walked on and on …
Suddenly, one day, the hunter found himself standing at the top of a mountain. Beneath his feet were the corpses and the people who had laughed at him.
However, the hunter didn't mock them. He understood that without them, he and his traps wouldn't have reached this point.
There was still a long way to go. For his own sake, he had to walk.
The world was vast, but it was a trap.
Years passed. The hunter became an assassin, the assassin became an elite assassin, and the elite assassin became the master of a cave. His name shook the three realms.
However, at this time, the hunter who had hunted his entire life walked into a trap set for him by others.
After climbing out of the trap, the hunter became a human swine. The disciples of the cave scattered and were forced to guard the cave for tens of thousands of years.
… …
"What is a trap …?"
Mu Ye's eyes regained clarity. A vast, ancient voice woke Xie Tian from his reverie.
"This is a trap." Mu Ye's green eyes turned to look at a pebble on the ground.
The three of them looked down in unison. Bell frowned, An Xi was dumbfounded, and Xie Tian narrowed his eyes.
"This is a trap." Mu Ye's green eyes turned to the stone bowl beside him.
"This is a trap." Mu Ye looked at the little bells tied to Bell's braids.
"This is a trap." Mu Ye looked at An Xi's frost-level assassin token.
"This is also a trap." Mu Ye's immortal will moved, and Frost Slaughter appeared.
"This is also a trap." Mu Ye's immortal will moved again, and Frost Slaughter appeared.
"This is also a trap." Mu Ye's immortal will moved again, and the entire Mu Ye Cave seemed to come to life.
Mu Ye stopped talking and looked at his disciple.
Bell's brows were furrowed, and the light in her eyes flickered.
Seeing this, Mu Ye sighed in disappointment. He was about to speak again, but he couldn't bear to, so he glanced at Xie Tian.
The moment he did, he froze.
Xie Tian was looking at his fist, but there was no fist in his eyes. There was only a trap that Mu Ye had never seen before.
This trap was very crude, and it was only in its embryonic form. It was laughable, but it caused Mu Ye's entire body to crack!
"My fist is also a trap …"
Mu Ye completely ignored the fact that Xie Tian had betrayed his master and ancestor. Suppressing his disbelief, he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by a trap?"
Xie Tian subconsciously replied, "Everything under the heavens is a trap …"
Mu Ye's body trembled as he asked anxiously, "What is a trap?"
Xie Tian subconsciously replied, "Everything under the heavens is a trap …"
Crack!
One of Mu Ye's ribs broke, but he didn't care. His green eyes glowed, and he shouted for the third time, "What is a trap?!"
"Heavens …"
Boom!
Mu Ye's green eyes were filled with excitement, shock, and incredulity as they widened!
