Li Ruolan frowned.
Ji Xin looked at Li Ruolan's hand and shook his head. "Wen Tingdao is very cunning. He won't give up."
Li Ruolan asked, "Senior Brother Ji, how did you offend him? Does the Sword Moon Sect belong to the Fu Dynasty? " Wen Tingdao laughed out loud. "You're only slightly good-looking. Other than your good looks, you're still far from your Junior Brother. If I were a woman, I wouldn't be interested in a man like you. You look good but you're useless!"
Ji Xin's face turned pale as he scoffed. "You're not much better than me!"
"I'm still better than you." Wen Tingdao said with a grin, "If it wasn't for your Junior Brother, your life would've been in my hands. You should really thank your Junior Brother. Apart from the fact that he's not as good-looking as you, which was given to him by his parents, he's still young and powerful. What do you have to compete with him?"
Chu Li frowned. "Wen Tingdao, don't waste your breath. I won't give you a chance to sow discord. Get lost!"
Wen Tingdao was indeed sinister. His seemingly normal words were like daggers stabbing Ji Xin's heart.
Ji Xin would not have taken it to heart normally.
However, in this situation, he could not protect himself in front of Li Ruolan. Instead, he needed Li Ruolan's help and even Chu Li's help. This made him very concerned. Wen Tingdao's words were extremely powerful. Even though he knew that it was Wen Tingdao's evil plan, he could not get rid of it.
Ji Xin sneered. "Wen Tingdao, don't be too full of yourself. I'll kill you one day!"
"Haha!" Wen Tingdao laughed. "You'll only fall further behind me. With such a beauty by your side, you won't be able to focus on your cultivation. A hero's home is the grave of a woman. That's right!"
Ji Xin scoffed. "What's the point of having a glib tongue? You only have one left!"
Li Ruolan felt a strong suction force coming from her palm. Her inner energy was instantly devoured. Then, Chu Li raised his hand.
"Tss!" A soft whistle was heard.
Wen Tingdao wielded his sword in front of him and retreated into the forest. Laughter could be heard coming from the forest. "I'll spare your life today for Zhao Dahe's sake. Ji Xin, you can't stay by Zhao Dahe's side forever. We'll meet one day!"
Ji Xin gripped the hilt of his sword so tightly that his veins were bulging.
Chu Li shook his head. Ji Xin's heart was already wavering.
Li Ruolan felt the suction force on Chu Li's back disappear, so she removed her palm. "Senior Brother Ji, he's trying to distract you. Don't fall for it."
Ji Xin forced a smile. "Of course I know that. This fellow is too evil!"
"Senior Brother Ji, you're quite capable to be able to escape from him." Li Ruolan said, "His cultivation level is higher than yours, and he's so good at scheming. He's really difficult to deal with. I'm sure he's a powerful figure in the Sword Moon Sect."
"He's the rising star of the Sword Moon Sect." Ji Xin nodded.
When Li Ruolan said that he was not as good as Wen Tingdao, he felt very comfortable. He shook his head and sighed. "He's similar to Junior Brother Zhao, but he's still a notch below Junior Brother Zhao."
Chu Li said, "It's all thanks to Senior Sister Li's help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to defeat him on my own. He's indeed a troublesome person. Senior Brother Ji, you have to be careful of him!"
He secretly sighed at Li Ruolan's intelligence. By elevating Wen Tingdao, it would not highlight Ji Xin's incompetence. It would make others feel that it was not a big deal to be defeated by Wen Tingdao, but it was rare for him to be able to escape alive.
With that, it would resolve Ji Xin's uneasiness.
A verbal and psychological battle was similar to a confrontation with a knife. If one was not careful, one's state of mind would be disturbed. Once the state of mind was disturbed, the power of one's martial arts would be slightly affected. Sometimes, a slight difference could mean the difference between life and death.
Such a battle was usually complemented by talent and experience. It was just like the emotional intelligence of the modern world in his past life.
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother Ji, we can't let him sneak an attack. He's good at hiding his tracks. It's impossible to guard against him."
"The Sword Moon Sect is indeed good at assassinations." Ji Xin nodded slowly with a serious expression. "They have a secret skill called Moon's Mirror. It's unpredictable. Not only is it true, but it's also true for their swordsmanship. He didn't use his best skills against Junior Sister Li just now. Junior Brother Zhao, you suppressed him and he couldn't use his swordsmanship. I'm sure he's going crazy!"
He smiled as he spoke. He was delighted when he thought of Wen Tingdao's suffocation.
"Senior Brother Ji, you should heal your wounds quickly. Don't talk anymore," Li Ruolan said gently.
"My wounds are fine." Ji Xin shook his head.
He suddenly frowned as his wounds started to worsen and he started to feel intense pain.
"Hurry up and heal your wounds," Li Ruolan said.
Ji Xin stopped trying to be brave. He closed his eyes and sat on the ground with his legs crossed to meditate.
Chu Li closed his eyes as well and said nothing.
Li Ruolan looked at Ji Xin and sighed.
She knew that Wen Tingdao's words were effective. Although Senior Brother Ji did not say anything, he must have heard it. She had to keep her distance from Junior Brother Zhao and could not be as close to him as she was now.
Otherwise, the knot in his heart would grow bigger and affect his state of mind.
She turned to look at Chu Li. Under the bonfire's illumination, his ugly face did not look so ugly. Instead, it looked strangely charming.
