Feng Xi shrunk his shoulders, tried to make himself look weaker, and said in a low voice:

"I'm really just passing by......"

A crisp fragrance of lotus flowers entered the tip of Feng Xi's nose, and a corner of black robe appeared in her lowered gaze.

"There's something in you."

He said firmly.

Feng Xi was taken aback, and couldn't help but think in his heart:

Could he be able to see Zi Mo's existence at a glance?

I saw that the young man had an extra arrow in his hand at some point, and slowly put it on the longbow and aimed at the location where Feng Xi was.

Looking at the black arrows, Feng Xi's hairs stood up, and she couldn't move a single step, this was the first time she felt such a real sense of death threat after a long time.

There was another "boom", and the thin arrow broke through the wind, but it passed through the young man's chest and firmly stuck to the trunk of the tree behind him, the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly, and the big tree also shook a few times, and many innocent leaves fell.

The tremendous force caused the young man to fall to the ground in an instant, and there was still a triumphant smile on his face that had not had time to dissipate, but it was quickly replaced by expressions of surprise, fear, and despair.

"Qingyu, you really underestimate me."

The young man's face remained unchanged and he put away the longbow, and the black luster reflected a trace of cold light in the sun, and it didn't look like a natal spirit weapon, and he didn't know what material it was made of.

It turned out that the young man pretended to aim his bow and arrow at Feng Xi, but in fact, he secretly looked at the young man's expression, and finally confirmed his conjecture, and without hesitation, he turned the arrow and shot it over, killing him with one move.

The man named Qingyu seemed to understand something, and moved the corners of his mouth weakly, wanting to say something more, but in the end he just stared at his unwilling eyes and lost his breath.

Looking at the crisp arrow, Feng Xi couldn't help but be a little afraid, and at the same time secretly admired the young man's scheming that was completely inconsistent with his age.

"Let's go."

The voice, still without any emotion, sounded.

Feng Xi left in a hurry as if she had been amnestied, and when she was far away, she stopped and breathed a sigh of relief, and was shocked to find that her back was covered with cold sweat, and the sense of oppression brought to her by that person was too strong, and she couldn't even give birth to the idea of resisting.

The young man behind him looked at Feng Xi's figure leaving, revealing a thoughtful expression, and the golden-brown light under his eyes flashed.

After another day's drive in the established direction, Feng Xi finally walked out of the huge forest, she squinted slightly, a little uncomfortable with the bright light outside.

Jinxi Town is a small town located in the border area of the Eastern Wilderness, located in the middle of nowhere, hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest Splendid City.

Legend has it that spirit grass is very easy to grow on the periphery of the Silence Forest, and low-level spirit beasts are also common, but the deeper you go, the less spirit grass there is, and even the spirit beasts are nowhere to be seen.

Groups of people had gone to the deepest part of the jungle to investigate, but they came back with nothing, and without exception they all became delirious, and talked madly all day long until they died in a daze.

The people of the town felt even more strange from then on, and over time, the depths of the jungle seemed to have become a taboo in Jinxi Town, and even the caravans that made a living by selling spirit grass and spirit pills would not easily go inside.

The exit of the Silent Forest is connected to the town, and across a weather-beaten stone bridge, you will reach the entrance of the town, and you will see a modest street, lined with houses of different heights, tiled blue roofs, azure stone slabs, and in the light of the early morning sun, like a colorful ink painting.

The first to break the silence of the town was not the shouts of the merchants, but the shrill shouts and curses.

"Look at the girl of the Ye family, she has been focusing on cultivation every day since she awakened her talent at the age of twelve, and now she has been recruited by the largest family in the city, and I heard that she may be sent to several major sects in the Eastern Wilderness as a disciple in the future, how can it be like you, the talent awakening is a year earlier than others, but you play with these weeds every day, what is the use?"

A fat woman was tugging at the ears of the little girl, who looked about the same age as Feng Xi, but was half a head shorter. Due to the pain, her big eyes were full of tears at this time, but she still didn't say a word, her face was full of stubbornness, and she was still holding a handful of ghostless grass tightly in her little hand.

It was a very common first-order spirit grass, and it was ordinary, and it did look like a roadside weed if you didn't distinguish it carefully, but in fact, it was a necessary spirit grass for refining low-level elixirs, which could increase the probability of successful refining of elixirs.

Seeing this, the woman became even more angry and continued:

"Anyway, you don't want to cultivate well, and you don't expect you to enter the big family to earn some spirit yuan back, so I'll sell you today, so as to save the trouble of looking at you at home, look at you like a dead fish, just like your mother who died early!"

When the little girl heard this, she seemed to be unable to hold back her emotions anymore, tears rolled out in big pieces, she suddenly broke free of the woman's hand, and ran away, her pace was hurried, and she didn't pay attention to the things around her, and she bumped into Feng Xi who was coming towards her.

She raised her head and just wanted to apologize, but she happened to meet Feng Xi's bright eyes, like the stars in the sky, gathering the most intoxicating power in the night sky.

Just as she was stunned for a few breaths, the woman behind her rushed over, grabbed her pigtail hanging behind her, and said viciously:

"Stinky girl, you're fat, aren't you? Dare to run away! My mother has raised you for so many years, and now it's time for you to repay it! ”

As he spoke, he dragged her back hard, the girl still didn't cry or make trouble, but her big eyes were full of confusion and helplessness, and the eyes were so pure that people couldn't help but have a desire to protect.

"Wait......"

Feng Xi's heart softened, and finally she couldn't stand it anymore, so she called out to stop the woman.

"What? You want to be nosy with a girl? You ask the surrounding residents, who dares to care about my old Qi family? ”

As she spoke, the woman's fierce eyes swept around, and the people in the street who had been watching the commotion at the door took refuge in the house.

To say that this woman is the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, and the girl is the daughter of Qi Ran, the eldest girl of the Qi family.

More than ten years ago, the Qi family was also prosperous, and the strength of the family could almost squeeze into the middle of the town, and all of this was due to Qi Ran.

Qi Ran has been obsessed with the refining of pills since he was a child, and his talent is quite outstanding, and when he was twenty years old, he reached the realm of a third-grade alchemist, and the Qi family also made a fortune by selling the elixir she refined, and jumped from an ordinary family to a new family in Jinxi Town.

The turning point of the matter occurred when Qi Ran accidentally disappeared during a trip to pick spirit grass, when the Qi family sent a large number of people to search everywhere to no avail, and after the Qi family lost Qi Ran's elixir, the family road quickly fell.

It wasn't until a year later that Qi Ran came back, six or seven months pregnant, with a sad face.

Qi Ran's brother and sister-in-law did not force the child's father in various ways, and her personality changed from cheerful and lively to depressed, staying in her room all day without saying a word.

And since then, no matter how the Qi family coerces and tempts, she is unwilling to do alchemy, so the Qi family drove Qi Ran, who was about to give birth, to the backyard.

Until the child was born, Qi Ran had a difficult birth and fell into the root of the disease, coupled with depression in his heart, and died when the child was five or six years old.

Leaving the poor daughter to live with her aunt and uncle, and her aunt, the woman, Qi Ran's sister-in-law, Wang, was notoriously fierce and fierce throughout the town, and no one wanted to befriend her, and no ordinary family would provoke her.
