Li Ruolan frowned.
Ji Xin looked at Li Ruolan's hand and shook his head. "Wen Tingdao is very cunning. I'm sure he won't give up."
Li Ruolan asked, "Senior Brother Ji, how did you offend him? The Sword Moon Sect is the top sect in the Fu Dynasty. "
The world was divided into five and the Fu Dynasty was the most powerful.
Among the five nations, the Ji Dynasty was the weakest, followed by the Zheng Dynasty, the Li Dynasty, and the Qiu Dynasty. The strongest was the Fu Dynasty, the center of the world. To them, the other four nations were poor and remote.
Li Ruolan knew that the top sects in the Fu Dynasty were not the four top sects, but the eight sects, and the Sword Moon Sect was one of them.
Ji Xin said, "A disciple from the Sword Moon Sect came to the Li Dynasty and killed a few people. How could the Holy Church of Light not do anything? I was ordered to kill him, just like what happened to you this time. In the end, I offended Wen Tingdao."
"Their swordsmanship is strange." Li Ruolan frowned.
Cunning and ferocious were two extremes, but they coexisted in the Sword Moon Sect's swordsmanship. It made people feel uncomfortable, and they would often be restrained due to this discomfort, which increased the power of the Sword Moon Sect's swordsmanship.
Ji Xin said, "I've been defeated by him before. His swordsmanship is cunning, and he's also cunning. You must be careful."
Li Ruolan nodded. "Junior Brother Zhao, he hasn't left yet?"
Chu Li raised his voice. "Wen, if you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Hehe …" Wen Tingdao appeared and shook his head. "I didn't expect an ugly person like you to be protecting Ji Xin!"
Chu Li stared at him coldly.
Wen Tingdao smiled at Li Ruolan. "Little beauty, it's a pity that we're not fated to be together!"
Li Ruolan's face, which was covered by a white veil, was tense. She glared at him emotionlessly with her charming eyes.
Wen Tingdao shook his head and sighed. "What a heartless little beauty! … Ji Xin, you're really something. You're relying on the little beauty, and in the end, you even have to rely on the little beauty's Junior Brother for help. I'm ashamed for you! "
Ji Xin scoffed. "You with the surname Wen, shut up!"
"If you can do it, why don't you let others talk about it?" Wen Tingdao laughed out loud. "You're only slightly good-looking. Apart from 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 expression darkened as he scoffed. "You're not much stronger than me!"
"I'm still stronger 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 into Ji Xin's heart.
Usually, Ji Xin would not take it to heart.
However, in this situation, he could not protect himself in front of Li Ruolan. Instead, he needed Li Ruolan's help and Chu Li's help. 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 as he retreated into the forest. Laughter could be heard from the forest. "I'll spare your life today for Zhao Dahe's sake. Ji Xin, you can't always stay by Zhao Dahe's side. We'll meet one day!"
Ji Xin held onto the hilt of his sword so tightly that his veins were bulging.
Chu Li shook his head. Ji Xin's heart was wavering.
When Li Ruolan felt the suction force disappear, she moved her palm away. "Senior Brother Ji, he's trying to distract you. Don't fall for it."
Ji Xin forced a smile. "Of course I know that. He's 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 a difficult person to deal with. I'm sure he's a powerful figure in the Sword Moon Sect."
"He's a rising star in the Sword Moon Sect." Ji Xin nodded.
Li Ruolan said that he was not as good as Wen Tingdao. Ji Xin shook his head and sighed. "He's similar to Junior Brother Zhao, but he's still weaker than him."
Chu Li said, "It's all thanks to Senior Sister Li's help. If not, I wouldn't have been able to defeat him on my own. He's a troublesome person indeed. Senior Brother Ji, you must be careful of him!"
He secretly sighed at Li Ruolan's intelligence. By praising 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 and that it was rare for him to escape.
This way, Ji Xin's uneasiness would be alleviated.
A verbal and psychological battle was similar to a knife fight. If one was not careful, one's state of mind would be disturbed. Once one's 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 quotient in his past life.
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother Ji, we can't let him ambush us. He's good at hiding his tracks. It's impossible to guard against him."
"The Sword Moon Sect is indeed good at assassination." Ji Xin nodded slowly with a serious expression. "They have a secret skill called Moonlight's Mirror. It's unpredictable. Not only is it true, but it's also true for their swordsmanship. He didn't use his best skill against Junior Sister Li just now. Junior Brother Zhao, you suppressed him and he couldn't use his swordsmanship. He must've been so frustrated!"
He smiled as he spoke. He was delighted when he thought of Wen Tingdao's frustration.
"Senior Brother Ji, you should heal your wounds quickly. Stop talking," Li Ruolan said gently.
"My wounds are fine." Ji Xin shook his head.
He suddenly frowned as his wounds began to worsen and he began to feel intense pain.
"Heal your wounds quickly," 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 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've heard it. She must keep her distance from Junior Brother Zhao and not be as close 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. His ugly face did not look so ugly under the light of the bonfire. Instead, it looked strangely charming.
