Su Xiaolu said again, “If you’re afraid that I’ll poison you, then forget it.”
With that, Su Xiaolu retracted her hand.
However, in the next second, Bai Xu reached out and snatched the medicine bottle away fiercely. She said to Su Xiaolu fiercely, “Hmph, don’t think that I’ll thank you. Don’t think that you can lie to me. If I’m poisoned, I have a way to kill you!”
Su Xiaolu chuckled. Under Bai Xu’s angry gaze, she pursed her lips and said calmly, “Up to you.”
Su Xiaolu turned around and returned.
Bai Xu bit her lip and looked at Su Xiaolu’s back with a blank gaze. In the end, she stomped her feet and moved her lips without making a sound. She took off her coat and opened the medicine bottle. She reached in through the collar at the back of her neck and poured it around. The powder would somehow cover her wound.
She bit her lip and did not make a sound of pain. She applied the medicine, put on her coat, and returned to the crowd.
Her surroundings were empty because the master and disciple were not easy to get along with. No one was willing to approach them. Compared to the others who sat in groups of twos and threes and chatted, this place was abnormally cold.
Bai Xu glanced over and saw Su Xiaolu massaging the shoulders and backs of her two Masters. She snorted in disdain.
She gradually felt sleepy, but she did not dare to sleep.
She kept looking in Zhou Heng’s direction. When she saw that cold and stern person return, she heaved a sigh of relief. When Bai Liu walked in, she said, “Grandma, can I sleep now?”
百柳神色冷漠,看了一眼百诩,冷声回应’嗯’.
Bai Xu seemed to have been saved as she leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep.
At night, many people did not really sleep. They only sat down and circulated their internal breath and practiced breathing techniques.
After eating, everyone tacitly quietened down. The forest was quiet, and there was no sound of insects.
Su Xiaolu could not sleep. This place was too strange. Why were there no traces of animals?
She released her five senses and sniffed gently.
In this forest, the smell of trees was too strong. The faint fragrance of plants entered her nose, and it was very comfortable mixed with spiritual energy.
She had a good sense of smell. She felt like she had a dog’s nose.
After smelling so many complicated smells, she finally smelled a little blood and a very faint stench of beasts.
She let go of her thoughts. So there were beasts, but they were too far away.
She was relieved to know that there were beasts, but soon, a new worry surfaced.
This large area was quiet and there were no traces of beasts living here. This meant that this area had been marked. They had been traveling for a day, and this area was already very large. What kind of beasts could mark such a large territory that there were no other beasts living in this territory?
‘Not a good one,’ Su Xiaolu thought.
Meeting a ferocious beast was actually within their expectations. Beasts were not easy to deal with, and neither were humans.
Su Xiaolu rested in peace.
Nothing happened that night. When they woke up the next day, everyone packed up and ate their dry rations before continuing on their way.
Zhou Heng’s goal was very clear, but when the others saw that there was no danger, they walked around with their friends, all hoping to find precious medicinal herbs.
Even Su Xiaolu flew up the tree to take a look at the terrain.
There were birds in the trees, but these birds were very quiet. Even if they were startled and flew away, there was very little movement.
At noon, everyone rested on the spot.
Su Xiaolu picked some wild fruits and distributed them to the two masters.
Bai Xu glanced at her, stood up and said to Bai Liu, “Grandma, I’ll go pick some wild fruits for you to try. They’ve all eaten them. If it’s poisonous, they’ll die first.”
As she spoke, Bai Xu pointed at Su Xiaolu.
Bai Liu replied in a deep voice, “Go.”
Bai Xu left in the direction where Su Xiaolu had returned. Not long after, Bai Xu returned with the fruits. She placed them in front of Bai Liu.
Bai Liu took a look. Bai Xu picked one up and wiped it before smiling at her. “Grandma, here you go.”
Bai Liu’s current appearance did not have any sharpness at all. She was like an ordinary child trying to please an adult.
Bai Liu was overly cold. She took a bite and spat it on Bai Xu’s face before throwing the fruit into her arms.
Bai Liu did not say a word, but her attitude made everything clear.
Bai Xu was stunned for a moment before lowering her head and apologizing. “Grandma, I’m sorry. Xu’er was wrong. I’ll throw them away now.”
Bai Xu stood up and stomped all the fruits into pieces before kneeling in front of Bai Liu.
Bai Liu closed her eyes and did not say a word. Bai Xu knelt upright and did not speak or get up.
Everyone saw it and felt that Bai Xu was a little pitiful to have such a strange master. However, no one said anything because Bai Xu had a bad temper and was arrogant and domineering. If they spoke up for her now, they would inevitably end up in a thankless situation.
People were only guessing. Could this be how the master and disciple interacted in private?
“It’s peculiar.”
Old Wu clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Everyone agreed with this statement. Wasn’t it peculiar?
Bai Xu glared at Old Wu angrily. “I won’t allow you to speak ill of my Grandma!”
Old Wu rolled his eyes. “I didn’t name anyone. Don’t make a connection. I could be just talking about this plant, right? Why did you have to rush here to be scolded?”
Bai Xu was not to be trifled with, and neither was Old Wu.
“Bai Xu, shut up.”
Bai Liu said coldly.
Bai Xu glared at Su Xiaolu and the other two angrily and lowered her head without saying a word.
Old Wu snorted.
“This fruit is really delicious. Good disciple, find more for me later. I love it.”
In terms of making people angry, Old Wu had never lost. He actually liked it.
Su Xiaolu coughed and agreed. “Okay.”
She felt that Bai Xu’s gaze was going to skin her alive.
Moreover, this wild fruit tasted really good. Su Xiaolu did not understand why Bai Liu did not like it and was even sarcastic. However, with a master like her, it was not strange for Bai Xu to have such a temperament.
After resting for half an hour, everyone continued to set off toward the place that Zhou Heng had set.
After ten o’clock, the roar of a beast suddenly came from the forest.
The sound was very loud. With that roar, a large group of birds flew away.
Zhou Heng and the others also stopped and looked around warily.
Su Xiaolu released her five senses and smelled the stench of beasts. The stench was blown by the wind and became stronger and stronger.
Vaguely, they heard someone shouting, “Help…”
A voice was rushing over.
Zhou Heng immediately ordered, “Everyone, be on guard.”
This was the first time they had encountered a beast after entering the mountain after a day and a night. They were excited and nervous about what kind of beast it was and whether it would overturn their previous understanding.
The roars of the beast were getting closer and closer. Su Xiaolu saw two miserable figures using Qinggong to come over. A thousand feet behind them was a huge beast. It was a black beast and looked like a “huge bear”.
