Should he say he was just lucky? Or what?
The time given to them by the Qing Yun Clan was limited and they were not confident that they would be able to find the herb within the allotted time. Seeing that Jun Xie had already found the herb, they began to have other ideas.
The kid before them was dressed plainly and looked poor. He must not have any family background to rely on.
To this group of youths who were so desperate to join the Qing Yun Clan, Jun Xie, who looked like a weakling, was a perfect target for them.
The Qing Yun Clan had only said to find the herb, but they did not state that they were not allowed to steal it.
"Kid, give us the herb in your hand. It's easy for you to find it anyway, you can just go look for it yourself." One of the youths said as he looked at Jun Xie, obviously intending to snatch the herb.
In fact, such occurrences happened every month when the gates opened. If the younger ones managed to find the herbs in advance, they were easily snatched away by the older generation. The disciples of the Qing Yun Clan paid no heed to such occurrences. Just before Jun Xie's batch, there had been quite a number of fourteen to fifteen year old youths who had their herbs snatched away by the older generation. When their herbs were snatched away, it meant that they were eliminated in the first round and had no choice but to return home sullenly, having their opportunity to join the Qing Yun Clan snatched away.
Unfortunately, the younger youths were not strong enough and could only endure the robberies from the older ones.
The two men in front of Jun Wu Xie, were thinking the same thing.
They couldn't be blamed for locking their sights onto Jun Xie. Although Jun Xie was already fourteen years old, but she was still a young girl after all. Even if she had disguised herself to look like a youth, her frame was still there for all to see. Looking at all the youths who had come to visit the mountain, it was almost impossible to find one who was more petite and petite than her. She was already small and petite, and dressed so plainly, which made people feel no apprehension towards her, making her a fat sheep in the eyes of others.
Jun Xie frowned as she stared at the two arrogant youths, and raised an eyebrow.
Someone dared to snatch what belonged to her?
Just as Jun Wu Xie was about to open her mouth to say something, a figure flashed like a bolt of lightning to appear right before her. Before she could even react, she saw a slender figure stretch his hand out towards one of the youths, and with lightning speed, a shoulder throw, sent the youth who had been trying to rob them flying out of the way!
"You bunch of bastards, you must be tired of living! How dare you rob us! I'll kill all of you! " A youth dressed in patched-up robes stood in front of Jun Xie, his eyes brimming with vigour as he pointed at the youth who had been thrown to the ground and the other youth who had been staring dumbfounded at the side, cursing loudly.
"….." Jun Wu Xie's expression froze.
After he finished scolding Jun Xie, the youth immediately turned his head and a face that was rather plain but highly exquisite suddenly appeared before Jun Xie.
"Haha, what a coincidence. To think that I would meet you here! Don't worry, I'll protect you in the future! If anyone dares to bully you, I'll beat them until their faces turn red! " The enthusiastic youth looked at Jun Xie smilingly, his entire body exuding a strong air of familiarity.
The corners of Jun Wu Xie's mouth twitched slightly as she stared at the highly unfamiliar youth before her. She searched her mind over and over again, but could not find any impression of this person.
"You've got the wrong person." Jun Wu Xie said coldly.
The youth was slightly taken aback and the warm smile on his face turned into a conflicted one. He scratched at his head and looked at Jun Wu Xie with a rather forlorn expression. Finally, he seemed to have thought of something and he squatted down, his two paws rubbing a layer of dirt on the ground, and quickly smeared it all over his face. He picked up a blade of grass and hung it at the corner of his mouth as he held it up before Jun Wu Xie and said: "Can you think about it a little more carefully?"
