575 Enter, Enter
Su Xiaolu nodded. She paid attention to the ground under her feet. Here, because there was too much spiritual energy, even ordinary plants grew quickly. Any blade of grass was as thick as a finger.
The secret guards who were leading the way at the front were slashing as they walked. There were many places with no roads here, so they had to open up a path themselves.
Su Xiaolu found a ginseng and stopped, digging carefully.
“This ginseng is of excellent quality. It looks to be at least 300 years old.”!!
An old granny said.
Old Wu rolled his eyes. “What? You want to snatch it?”
“Old Master, my grandma doesn’t want to snatch it. It’s just that the things inside should belong to the capable. The treasures are dazzling. I just want to ask for guidance,” the little girl beside the old granny said politely with a smile.
Old Wu sneered. “These days, even snatching sounds so polite. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Girl, go and teach her a lesson. I’ll take care of it here.”
His family was not to be trifled with.
He knew that Su Xiaolu and Zhou Heng were friends, but not with anyone else.
Ever since Su Xiaolu discovered the ginseng, there had been many covetous gazes. This old woman had only done what others wanted to do first.
This gave the others a reason.
Everyone was watching.
Su Xiaolu did not retreat. She unsheathed her sword and flew towards the little girl.
The little girl raised her eyebrows and took out something from her waist. With a whoosh, the whip tore through the air.
Su Xiaolu dodged lightly. The little girl was very smart. She did not let Su Xiaolu get close and only whipped her.
“Hmph, I’ll show you how powerful my Spirit Snake Whip is.”
The little girl was in high spirits. She whipped nimbly, and the whip seemed to come alive in her hand.
Su Xiaolu had already put away her sword. She knew that this girl was good at using the whip, so she changed her strategy. She casually swiped her hand into the bag and held a silver needle in her hand. She pushed it with her Internal force and rushed towards the little girl.
The little girl blushed and said, “You cheated.”
“Damned girl, if your skills are inferior, then your skills are inferior. What trickery? Are you allowed to use what you’re good at and not my disciple?”
Su Xiaolu did not speak, so Old Wu spoke up for her.
The old man was very protective. He could not listen to anyone that bullied Su Xiaolu.
‘What? Only you guys are allowed to snatch things and not let others fight back?’
Every silver needle of Su Xiaolu’s was a sharp weapon. The little girl had to deal with the hidden weapons with her whip. Her face was red and she was already struggling.
Su Xiaolu had good Qinggong and thick internal energy. She quickly gained the upper hand.
The old lady was tempted.
Old Wu was disdainful. “What? The little one can’t win, so you want to help? Do you think we don’t have anyone? Kid, can you bear to see her bully your disciple?”
Gui You’s expression was dark. The sword in his hand had already been unsheathed three inches, and a cold glint appeared. As long as the old lady attacked, he would also attack.
Su Xiaolu hurt the little girl’s hand that was holding the whip. She pressed her sword against the little girl’s neck. “You lost.”
The little girl was very unconvinced and wanted to move again.
“Madam Bai Liu, Miss Bai Xu, this is just the beginning. Su Lu was the one who saw this first. You guys have already fought, so you should stop now. You don’t want Su Lu and his masters to keep an eye on you and your disciple, right?”
Liu Zijin said with a smile. He cupped fists at the old lady and her disciple, then at Su Xiaolu and the others.
“Stop.”
Bai Liu stopped the unconvinced Bailing. Liu Zijin was right. They had just entered the mountain. There were still good things behind.
Su Lu’s wasn’t half bad either. Her old Master didn’t seem to be very skilled, but the younger swordsman was unfathomable.
It was indeed not worth it to fall out with him now.
Bai Xu glared at Su Xiaolu, picked up the whip, and returned to Bai Liu’s side.
Old Wu had already dug out the ginseng. The old man happily put it away and did not mind the matter at all. He said sarcastically, “Tsk, I didn’t think much of it at first. Now that I look at it, I actually find it very pleasing to the eye. It’s even more precious than that 500-year-old ginseng.”
“Girl, come. Keep it well.”
Old Wu handed the ginseng to Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu nodded and put it away.
“Your Majesty, I suggest that we continue on our way. We’ll set up camp after walking for two to three days. Then, we’ll search for treasures on our own and set a time to return to the camp before coming out together.”
Bai Liu’s expression darkened as she advised Zhou Heng.
This old man was really infuriating. The master and disciple had only done something that others wanted to do but had not done. What was wrong with that?
Zhou Heng looked at the mountains in the distance. He looked at everyone and said calmly, “That mountain is my destination. If anyone sees anything good on the way, you can leave the team to retrieve it. I won’t wait. At that time, you can decide if you want to leave or follow me.”
He pointed out the direction. If they encountered a treasure, they probably wouldn’t be able to make people give up. This was the best solution.
No one had any objections to this.
Su Chong nodded gently at Su Xiaolu, who returned a reassuring look.
Zhou Heng was right. Su Xiaolu would not blame him.
She and her two Masters were not afraid of anyone finding fault with them. This was the world of the martial world.
Perhaps because Su Xiaolu had encountered the ginseng, everyone looked at the road more carefully.
Those who were skilled would even leave the team to open up a path at the side. Soon, the path became very wide.
The young lady called Bai Xu also used a whip to cut through the weeds and trees to open up a path.
Not long after, a chubby middle-aged man flew into a rage. “Hey, brat, do you have no manners? You’re opening the way and destroying everything. All the treasures have been destroyed by you.”
Bai Xu was instantly enraged. “Damn fatty, who are you calling no manners!”
Fighting was inevitable.
The fat middle-aged man did not care that Bai Xu was a young lady. He did not care about the whip that the young lady swung at him and reached out to grab it.
However, he immediately felt pain, and his palm quickly bled.
“Girl, you have a vicious heart. You actually attached a small knife to the whip!”
The fat uncle was very angry.
Bai Xu mocked smugly, “What right do you have to call me vicious? You’re the one who’s inferior.”
Her whip was agile, and with a shake, the fat uncle let go. Bai Xu raised the whip again, and the fat uncle reached out to grab it again. Bai Xu sneered, “You overestimate yourself!”
“Stupid girl—”
The fat uncle grabbed the whip and gritted his teeth as he called out to Bai Xu. Then, with a pull of gravity, Bai Xu was caught off guard and lost her balance. She leaned towards the fat uncle. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she saw the fat uncle exert force. A stream of white ash followed the whip and Bai Xu let go in an instant.
The whip changed hands once again. The fat uncle did not show any mercy. He grabbed the end of the whip and whipped Bai Xu’s back. Then, he spat viciously and threw Bai Xu’s whip away. The fat uncle walked back to his friend, who took out the medicine and was about to apply it on him.
“Wait a minute.”
Su Xiaolu shouted.
