Yang Li did not have to wait for long. Using his divine sense, he sensed that they were not far from him. He quickly retracted his divine sense.
He pretended to be a lost cultivator and walked towards the direction the seven people came from.
Not long after, Yang Li could already hear the conversation between the two.
"Miss, we have not found the Carnage Flower yet. If we go any deeper, we may encounter danger." A guard with a rough voice said.
"Let's go deeper and search. Captain Qi, if we can't find it in two days, we will go back." A gentle voice sounded. The helplessness and disappointment in her tone made it hard for others to refuse.
"Hmm? Who is it? "Nangong Qi's divine sense detected Yang Li. He immediately raised his guard and asked.
When Yang Li heard the voice, he quickened his pace and walked towards them. After seeing them, he immediately pretended to be happy and said: "Hello big brothers, my name is Li Yue. I'm lost here. I wonder if you can bring me out of this mountain range?"
"I'm sorry, little brother. We are going into the mountain and not going back."
When Nangong Qi heard this, he immediately rejected the other party. In the deep mountains and forests, it was not easy to trust people. According to his observation, the cultivator in front of him was only at the Spirit Movement Realm Level 8. He would most likely drag their team down.
When Yang Li heard this, he knew that the other party was afraid that he would drag them down. He laughed disdainfully in his heart. How much effort did he have to put in to kill this group of people?
However, he approached them with a purpose. Naturally, he would not give up so easily. Of course, he would not easily reveal his strength either. Otherwise, the other party would definitely be suspicious. He then pretended to be pitiful and said: "Big brother, please help me. This place is too dangerous. I don't even dare to walk around. I'm afraid of dying here."
Nangong Qi's face suddenly showed an impatient expression. When he was about to refuse, Nangong Yanran spoke.
"Captain Qi, what's going on?" Nangong Yanran looked at Yang Li and asked curiously. The tenderness in her voice remained unchanged, but her big eyes were filled with doubt.
"It's nothing, Eldest Miss. He's just a little brat." When Yang Li heard Nangong Yanran's words, he hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm lost. I don't know how to get out. Can you bring me out?"
"I said I won't take it, so I won't take it. Get lost!" Nangong Qi's anger suddenly rose, and he scolded.
The other guards also looked at Yang Li with unfriendly gazes, disdain written all over their faces.
"Captain Qi, why don't we bring him along? It won't delay too much, right? " When Nangong Yanran heard Yang Li's words, her face revealed a difficult expression. After thinking for a moment, she still spoke, wanting to help Yang Li.
"This …" Nangong Qi's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. He knew that if Eldest Miss heard this brat's words, she would definitely bring him along. However, this brat was dragging them down.
At that moment, Nangong Qi made up his mind and said, "Eldest Miss, it's not that we don't want to bring him along, but this brat's cultivation realm is too low. If we bring him along, we won't be able to protect the two of you when you encounter danger."
When Nangong Yanran heard this, she felt even more embarrassed. Her face revealed a weak and helpless expression, which made Yang Li, who was not interested in women, feel distressed.
"How about this, Captain Qi, we'll bring him along and look for him tomorrow. If we can't find him, we'll go back. Is that okay?" Nangong Yanran's voice was still as irresistible as before.
Seeing Nangong Yanran's expression, Nangong Qi sighed and said, "Sigh, then we'll do as Eldest Miss said and bring him along."
Then, he directly arranged for Yang Li to stay by Nangong Yanran's side. With six people protecting a larger area, there was also a slight gap. This made Nangong Qi extremely unhappy, but he could not disobey Eldest Miss's will. Since Eldest Miss was born, she had the same strange disease as the Family Head and the Family Head's wife.
This time, they entered the mountain to look for the Carnage Flower for the sake of their bodies. Nangong Yanran even snuck out secretly. The Family Head and the Elders of the family did not know. If they knew, they would certainly be furious. When they returned this time, they would definitely be punished.
Since twenty-five years ago, the Family Head and the Family Head's wife had a strange disease. Every year, they would consume a large amount of elixirs to maintain their lives. Even their cultivation was gradually declining. If it wasn't for the fact that the Elders of the family did not want the Family Head to abdicate, the Family Head would have left the Nangong family a long time ago.
When they got sick, they coincidentally became pregnant with Nangong Yanran. Originally, they thought that after Nangong Yanran was born, she would not be like them. Who would have thought that when Nangong Yanran was born, she would be diagnosed with the same strange disease as them?
This caused the whole family to be shrouded in a dark cloud. Moreover, since young, Nangong Yanran had been extremely obedient and sensible. Even when facing the servants in the family, she would speak softly and softly. She rarely scolded anyone. Everyone in the family was extremely fond of Nangong Yanran and rarely refused her requests.
Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Nangong Qi finally agreed to Nangong Yanran's request. Although he was extremely unhappy, his self-restraint was still very good. Although there was a sneer on his face, he did not open his mouth to ridicule Yang Li.
However, it was different for the others. They were relatively younger. Although the Eldest Miss was beside them, they constantly ridiculed and ridiculed Yang Li.
"Some people really don't have any self-awareness. Their own cultivation is a mess, but they still want to follow those with higher cultivation and drag them down."
"Isn't that right? He clearly knows that his cultivation is weak, but he still courted death by running into the dangerous Demon Beast Mountain Range. If he isn't an idiot, then what is? "
"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Maybe he thinks that Demon Beasts are not a threat to him? Look at him, he is already at Spirit Movement Realm Level 9 at such a young age. Maybe he will break through to Spirit Realm under the danger? "
"But it's wrong of him to implicate us before he breaks through. Moreover, he can't be compared with our Young Miss. If something happens to our Young Miss, he won't be able to compensate even if he has a hundred lives!"
Originally, Nangong Qi felt a little relieved. However, after hearing the last sentence, Nangong Qi directly stopped them.
"Enough! Don't jinx it! "
When Nangong Yanran heard Nangong Qi's words, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She also wanted them to shut up. Although they wouldn't disobey her words, they would probably hold a grudge against Nangong Yanran because she hadn't reprimanded them before.
Yang Li, on the other hand, had a calm expression as he listened to their mockery. Summer insects cannot talk about ice. A group of arrogant people mocking him did not affect him in the slightest. Not even a ripple could be felt in his heart.
When the others heard this, they immediately fell silent and didn't dare to speak again. However, the person who had been reprimanded by Nangong Qi was extremely unhappy. He looked at Yang Li, who had a calm expression on his face, and the unkind look in his eyes became even more intense. He even made up his mind that if he could make Yang Li stay in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, he would definitely do so!
Although they were a hidden family, they were not good people. Which cultivator was not stained with blood? When they were young, they also went out to explore the world. However, they did not go out with the identity of the Nangong family.
Along the way, they walked for a few miles. From time to time, they would stop to check the surrounding medicinal herbs. There was also someone who cooked some porridge for Nangong Yanran for her to eat.
"Do you want to drink something?" Nangong Yanran handed the porcelain bowl of porridge to Yang Li. Her clear eyes were filled with an inquiring aura.
Yang Li was stunned. He could see that Nangong Yanran was kind, but he did not expect that Nangong Yanran could be so kind. Cultivators did not need to eat anything. Moreover, those people only cooked porridge for Nangong Yanran.
She actually asked him if he wanted to drink something. This touched Yang Li's heart. His sense of guilt increased, and his desire to use Nangong Yanran faded a little.
Gently shaking his head, Yang Li smiled and said, "It's okay, Miss. I don't need to eat anything."
When Nangong Yanran heard this, she looked at him hesitantly. She opened her mouth but did not say anything. She quietly drank the porridge.
At this time, the roar of a beast was suddenly heard. Yang Li hurriedly used his divine sense to explore. When he found that it was a beast at the first level of the Spirit Realm, his body, which was about to stand up, stopped moving.
A beast at the first level of the Spirit Realm was not much of a threat to these guards.
Sure enough, when the guards heard the beast's roar, they hurriedly rushed over. They were afraid that the beast would get close to Nangong Yanran and hurt Nangong Yanran. Yang Li secretly arranged a spiritual force to protect Nangong Yanran.
However, Nangong Yanran did not think so. After hearing the beast's roar, the porcelain bowl in her hand almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Yang Li was fast and grabbed her arm. Otherwise, she would have been scalded by the porridge.
"Thank you." Nangong Yanran thanked Yang Li in a low voice. She looked in the direction where the beast's roar was coming from. Her eyes were full of worry.
Yang Li's divine sense was also observing that direction. At this time, under the leadership of Nangong Qi, the six guards had suppressed the beast.
Not long after, the few of them completely killed the demonic beasts. Then, they turned around and returned to where Nangong Yanran was. The few of them were covered in the blood of the demonic beasts and it looked slightly terrifying.
When they came back and saw Yang Li standing calmly beside Nangong Yanran, their faces suddenly became angry. They walked directly toward Yang Li. Only Nangong Qi stood still and looked at Yang Li coldly.
"Brat! There was a beast just now, why didn't you go over?! "
"That's right! Even if your cultivation is low, you can still help a little! Why didn't you go over?! "
"You're just standing there like Master, and you have such a calm expression on your face. Are we your guards?"
When Yang Li heard their accusations, a trace of helplessness appeared in his heart. He even had the thought of exploding his cultivation and slapping them in the face. In the end, he forcibly endured it and didn't say a word. He lowered his head and looked at the ground. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and fight with them.
When the guards saw him like this, they became even angrier. Their spiritual energy fluctuated and they asked coldly.
"Brat, why didn't you go?! Tell us! "They had the thought of beating up Yang Li if he didn't speak.
Nangong Qi also watched this scene with cold eyes. Yang Li's actions clearly did not show his position properly. He was clearly asking for help, yet he made it seem as if he was a hired bodyguard. This caused Nangong Qi to feel extremely displeased.
Nangong Yanran looked at their posture and became nervous. She said, "Li Yue is still young and his cultivation is not high. He won't be of much use in the battlefield, so I let him stay by my side to protect me."
"Don't blame Yang Li. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
Nangong Yanran's soft voice sounded, and the guards immediately stopped. Although they were still angry, they had to take care of Nangong Yanran's face.
They didn't say anything and sent a voice transmission to Yang Li. "You can't help the wall. Wait until we get out of the Demon Beast Mountain Range and you are separated from the First Miss. See how we will deal with you!"
Yang Li didn't say anything, but his eyes couldn't help but become a bit colder. He could ignore their ridicule, but it was a different matter if they threatened him. There was no one who didn't pay a price for threatening him.
