Seeing that Nangong Yanran had stopped them, Nangong Qi walked forward and said to Yang Li, "Miss Su is protecting you. We won't say anything, and I can guarantee that I won't do anything to you. However, if you act like this again, even if I don't do anything, I can't stop the anger of others. At that time, I'm afraid that even Miss Su won't be able to stop them."
"So, you know what you're doing. We're all cultivators, and your cultivation is already so high. You know the principles and so on. I don't think I need to teach you anymore. Take care of yourself."
After saying that, Nangong Qi walked to the side. His eyes were full of coldness. Fortunately, he had good self-restraint. Otherwise, he would have taken action just now.
Yang Li didn't comment on Nangong Qi's words and didn't say anything. However, Nangong Yanran's face was full of worry, but she couldn't say anything. After all, Nangong Qi didn't threaten Yang Li. He just gave Yang Li a plain warning, which wasn't too much.
She could only comfort Yang Li and said, "It's okay. Next time there are demonic beasts, I'll tell them in advance. I'll say that you protect me and don't participate in the battle. There are demonic beasts above the Illuminating God Realm nearby. If you're not careful, you may die."
Hearing that, Yang Li raised his head and glanced at Nangong Yanran. He saw that Nangong Yanran's eyes were full of worry. He calmed down a little and said with a smile, "It's okay, Miss Su. I know what to do."
Although he said that, Yang Li still didn't plan to take action. Among the guards around Nangong Yanran, except for Nangong Qi, he didn't care about the others.
During this time, Yang Li had observed them a lot. He found that except for Nangong Qi, who really took care of Nangong Yanran as a junior, the others more or less had a lot of dirty thoughts about Nangong Yanran, which made him despise them even more.
After a while, when they were almost done, they set off again and walked towards the depths of the mountain, looking for herbs.
Along the way, they saw a cave. They thought it was the residence of the demonic beasts, but after entering, they found that it was just an ordinary cave. There was nothing special about it. Although there were one or two herbs, they were not what they needed.
At this time, the sky was about to turn dark. Nangong Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Su, why don't we rest in this cave today?"
Hearing this, Nangong Yanran looked up at the sky. It was already getting late. Knowing the dangers of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range at night, she immediately said, "Alright, let's do as Captain Qi says."
Hearing this, Nangong Qi let out a sigh of relief. He called out to the others to prepare a place for Nangong Yanran to sleep in the cave.
Hearing this, the others took out some daily necessities from their spatial rings. Not only were there mattresses and quilts, but there were also firewood and other things. It seemed that they were preparing a fire at night to make Nangong Yanran a little more comfortable.
Nangong Yanran did not resist. After all, she did not cultivate and had a strange illness. Therefore, her body was extremely weak. The guards prepared these things for her out of consideration for her body.
When the few of them moved, Yang Li stood still. This immediately made the few of them unhappy again and mocked Yang Li. Yang Li treated them as barking dogs and ignored them. He stood in his own way.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Qi slightly frowned. Then, he sighed and muttered, "Forget it, he is also a pitiful youth. Otherwise, he would not have fallen into this deep forest without anyone to protect him."
"However, this kid's talent is not bad. He has already cultivated to the Spirit Movement Realm Ninth Level at the age of seventeen or eighteen. We can rope him in and let the family nurture him. Who knows, he might be able to contribute a lot to the family in the future."
"Yes, I will discuss with this kid later and see if he is willing."
Thinking until here, Nangong Qi did not think about anything else. He took out an inexplicable thing from his spatial ring that emitted a faint fragrance. The smell entered Yang Li's nostrils. Yang Li could not help but look over in surprise.
According to what he knew, this was an extremely expensive medicinal powder. The fragrance it emitted was extremely beneficial to the human body. However, when demon beasts smelled it, they would be afraid of it and would not be willing to approach it. In a mountain filled with demon beasts, sprinkling this kind of medicinal powder could be exchanged for a night of peace.
However, there were some demon beasts that did not care about this medicinal herb. However, those demon beasts were of a higher rank. In the depths of the mountain, it was obvious that they would not encounter such demon beasts.
After Nangong Qi finished sprinkling the medicinal powder, he turned around and noticed that Yang Li was looking at him. His eyes were filled with surprise. He thought that Yang Li was thinking about what it was, so he waved his hand at Yang Li and gestured for him to come over.
Originally, Yang Li did not want to move. After all, a Spirit Movement Realm fourth level cultivator wanted to order him around. However, after thinking about it, he was currently disguised as a Spirit Movement Realm Ninth Level cultivator. If the other party called him and he did not go over, it would raise the other party's suspicions.
Without a choice, he could only move towards Nangong Qi's direction.
Nangong Qi saw Yang Li walking over and nodded in satisfaction. In his eyes, at least Yang Li was obedient.
When Yang Li walked to his side, he softly said, "Let's go outside the cave. I have something to tell you."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the cave. Yang Li was bold because of his skill. He was not afraid that the other party would harm him, so he directly followed him out.
There was a gentle breeze outside the cave, and the roars of Monstrous Beasts rose and fell in succession, adding a terrifying atmosphere to the originally dark environment. Under the bright moonlight, one could clearly see Monstrous Beasts flitting through the forest in the distance from time to time.
Looking at the scene outside, Nangong Qi was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Li Yue, I know that what we said to you today was a bit over the top. Please don't take it to heart. After all, we are all worried about the Eldest Miss."
"Big brother Qi must be joking. My cultivation is still shallow, so it is natural for me to be criticized." Yang Li casually replied. In his heart, he did not take Nangong Qi's words to heart. Instead, he was thinking about the purpose of Nangong Qi's words.
However, just as he began to think, Nangong Qi threw him a big pie, causing him to be even more confused.
"Li Yue, how about this. From tomorrow onwards, you will directly follow beside the Eldest Miss. I will convince the others. When we meet demon beasts, we will naturally fight them. However, you must promise me one thing."
"Big brother Qi, what do you mean?" Yang Li asked in confusion.
"Join my Nangong family." Nangong Qi said concisely.
Yang Li instantly understood the other party's thoughts. However, this was not out of his expectations. After all, with his current age, even if he was only at Spirit Movement Realm Level 9, he would still be considered a genius. Presumably, the other party had taken a fancy to his talent.
However, Yang Li naturally could not directly agree to the other party. He pretended to think about it. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Big brother Qi, I need to think about this. After all, I still have a sect."
Nangong Qi heard this and said unhappily, "No matter how strong your sect is, it will not be stronger than our Nangong family. In this land of the Southern Fire Region, I have not seen many families that are stronger than our Nangong family!"
Nangong Qi's voice was full of confidence. Nangong Qi was obviously blindly confident in his own family's strength. However, he also had the confidence. After all, the Nangong family had three Half Law Realm cultivators. Other than the hidden Lunar Exploration Association, no one could be stronger than them.
If Nangong Qi's words were seen by others, it would certainly be extremely infectious. Just based on the identity of the Nangong family, it was enough to make the other party join at all costs. However, Yang Li did not care.
After all, one day, his cultivation realm would surpass everyone in the Nangong family. Therefore, words that were extremely bewitching to others had no effect on him. "A teacher for a day is a father for life.
I still have a teacher in the sect. I also know that the Nangong family is powerful. The two hidden families in the Southern Fire Region are both stronger than the sect. However, I am not the kind of person who would go back on my word and forget my ancestors. I still have to ask my teacher, "said Yang Li calmly.
When Nangong Qi heard this, he was about to persuade Yang Li again. However, he changed his mind and decided to ask. After all, he might not be able to recruit Yang Li into the family. When the time comes, he would have to tell the Great Commander. This also happened to prove that Yang Li was loyal and would not betray the family after joining the family.
Thinking of this, Nangong Qi said, "Alright, this jade pendant is for you. If you want to join the Nangong family in the future, you can contact me directly through this jade pendant."
After saying this, Nangong Qi casually took out a jade pendant and handed it to Yang Li. Yang Li hurriedly took it with both hands to show his respect. This scene made Nangong Qi extremely satisfied. His disdain and dissatisfaction towards Yang Li completely disappeared.
The two of them chatted outside the cave for a while before returning to the cave.
At this time, everything in the cave had been tidied up. Nangong Yanran was sitting on the bed and sipping porridge. Her eyes kept drifting outside. Obviously, she had seen Nangong Qi call Yang Li out.
Seeing that Yang Li's expression didn't change when he came back, Nangong Yanran was slightly relieved. She put the porridge aside and waved at Yang Li.
Seeing that Nangong Yanran was waving at him, Yang Li walked over with steady steps. This weak woman really made his heart ache.
"Yang Li, why did Captain Qi call you out? He didn't beat you, did he? " Nangong Yanran's eyes were full of worry, and her eyebrows were knitted together. In her eyes, Yang Li was like a younger brother, which reminded her of her younger brother who had died before he was born. Therefore, she was very concerned about Yang Li.
Yang Li smiled when he heard this and said, "Nothing. He just asked me why I haven't broken through to the Illuminating God Realm."
Nangong Yanran let out a breath of relief and rebuked Yang Li.
Just when she was about to say something, the roar of a demon beast came from outside the cave. From the sound of it, it came from the entrance of the cave.
The people inside the cave immediately tensed up. As Yang Li spread out his divine sense, he found that the demon beast that appeared at the entrance of the cave was a Demon Spirit Realm level 5 demon beast, the Scarlet Demon Tiger. It was from the same clan as the demon beast that they killed during the day.
A Nangong family disciple said with a trembling voice, "I hope it's not here for revenge."
This Scarlet Demon Tiger wasn't something they could deal with. They might not even be able to take down a Demon Spirit Realm level 4 demon beast, let alone a Demon Spirit Realm level 5 demon beast.
As if to confirm what he said, a low voice came from outside the cave.
