"Why are you shaking?" Leng ruoxue could not help but laugh when she saw his reaction.
"You lied to me." Ji Yun said in an extremely aggrieved tone. His clear eyes began to water again.
"I"m not going to beat you up. " Leng ruoxue was speechless.
"Oh! Then why are you pulling me?" Ji Yun didn"t understand. From his point of view, ruoxue was just angry out of embarra.s.sment and wanted to vent her anger on him.
"You"re walking too slowly. I can walk faster if I drag you along." After Leng ruoxue finished speaking, she took out a rope and tied it around Ji Yun"s wrist. She held the other end of the rope in her hand.
"There"s no need to do this, right?" Ji Yun said somewhat gloomily. If he kept him tied up like this, he would have bad thoughts.
"I need it! I"ll give you two choices now. Either we part ways, or I"ll take you with me. " Leng ruoxue laughed evilly. When she saw Ji Yun"s face turn red and white, she was in a good mood and spoke in a much friendlier manner.
"It"s better for you to hold onto me!" Forced by Leng ruoxue"s tyrannical abuse, Ji Yun had to admit defeat.
"That"s a good girl!" Leng ruoxue extended her hand and patted Ji Yun"s head as if she was petting a puppy. She was just short of giving him a bone to chew on.
Ji Yun was praised by ruoxue, but he couldn"t bring himself to be happy. This wasn"t what he had imagined.

At the thought of this, Ji Yun pouted and said with an aggrieved expression,"Ruoxue, even though you can walk faster by holding me, I"m a man after all. You should at least give me some face, right? If my Ji clansmen were to see me like this, it would be very embarra.s.sing. "
"You"re also afraid of losing face?" Leng ruoxue was very surprised, but she had no intention of letting him go. Instead, she continued,""Don"t worry. This place is so big that we might not be able to touch your Ji family. "
"What if we run into them?" Ji Yun shamelessly asked.
"Then I can only say that you"re too unlucky." Leng ruoxue"s words carried a hint of sympathy, but the expression on her face revealed that she was gloating over his misfortune.
"AI!" After hearing Leng ruoxue"s words, no matter how stupid Ji Yun was, he knew that Leng ruoxue would never let go of him. Hence, he could only accept his fate. Sob ... He hoped that he would not meet anyone he knew. Otherwise, he would really lose all his face.
Seeing that he had accepted his fate, Leng ruoxue smiled in satisfaction. Then, she pulled him towards the path that she had chosen.
Even though that path was also covered by yellow sand, it was more pleasing to the eye than the other paths. Thus, Leng ruoxue pulled Ji Yun along and walked over.
The two of them walked on the soft yellow sand for an unknown amount of time. Just as they were about to walk out of the desert, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting not far away. Leng ruoxue"s face lit up with joy, while Ji Yun"s heart sank. "What I"m afraid of is coming true!" I didn"t expect there to be a fight here. He stole a glance at Leng ruoxue and prayed that she would not be a busybody so that the two of them could quickly leave this place.
Oh! It wasn"t that he was timid, it was just that he was too lazy and didn"t like to cause trouble. He was trying to find a reasonable excuse for himself.
"Let"s take a look over there. " Leng ruoxue clearly did not hear the prayers in Ji Yun"s heart. Her tone was firm, and she did not allow Ji Yun to refuse.
"Ruoxue, that"s not a good place. Let"s not go there. Let"s go another way!" Ji Yun"s heart trembled. Wu...What was he afraid of? He was clearly trying to avoid the partic.i.p.ants, but he just had to b.u.mp into them here, and in the middle of a fight.
"If you don"t want to exchange, we"ll go over there. If you don"t ..." Leng ruoxue said with a faint smile. However, she only said half of what she wanted to say. As for the other half, she believed that Ji Yun would understand.
"It"s not that I don"t want to go, I"m just afraid of getting caught in the crossfire! They"re having a good time, so it"s not good for us to interfere, right?" Ji Yun said in a low voice, not very confident.
"Who said I"m going to interfere? I just want to take a look. What if it"s someone I know? We"ll be able to help out when the time comes. " Leng ruoxue spoke the truth. They could help each other here, and this was not against the rules of the compet.i.tion.
"If it"s not someone we know, then let"s leave immediately, okay?" Seeing that Leng ruoxue had already made up her mind, Ji Yun could only talk about the conditions.
"Good! As long as they don"t attack us, we"ll leave immediately. " Leng ruoxue agreed.
"Then let"s go and take a look!" With Leng ruoxue"s a.s.surance, Ji Yun was at ease.
The two of them lowered their footsteps and cautiously walked towards the vicinity of the battle. Not far from them, there was a huge tree that blocked their view of the battle. Thus, Leng ruoxue and Ji Yun hid behind the tree and observed the battle.
At this time, there were a total of five people in the chaotic battle. It was obvious that there were two groups of people because two of them were wearing the same clothes, and the other three were also wearing the same clothes.
"Ji Wu, ji tao!" Just as Leng ruoxue was carefully observing the strength of these two groups, Ji Yun, who was beside her, suddenly called out softly. When Leng ruoxue heard this, she couldn"t help but turn her head and look at him with slight surprise,"You know them?"
"Uh! I know two of them. The two in white are from the Ji family, and the other three in gray are the compet.i.tors from the Zhou family. " Ji Yun"s expression was grave as he explained. His originally clear as water eyes grew even deeper.
"Since we"re family, why don"t you hurry up and help?" Leng ruoxue saw that although Ji Yun"s expression had turned serious, he did not move at all. She couldn"t help but remind him.
"There"s no hurry. Let"s see how the situation goes first. " Ji Yun had suddenly become calm and collected. This caused Leng ruoxue to cast a sidelong glance at him. She had never thought that Ji Yun would have such a serious side to him.
However, if Ji Yun knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be depressed to death. This was because in Leng ruoxue"s eyes, Ji Yun was not a normal person.
"Ji Yun, why aren"t you wearing the clothes those two were wearing?" Leng ruoxue asked curiously after sizing up the two people in white. From the day she saw Ji Yun, he had always been dressed in black.
"Why do I have to be like them?" Ji Yun said matter-of-factly.
"Uh!" Ji Yun"s words caused Leng ruoxue to regret her previous thoughts. Ji Yun was still the same Ji Yun she knew. He had not changed at all. She must have been seeing things before, that"s why she felt that Ji Yun had changed into a different person.
"What"s wrong? Am I wrong?" Ji Yun looked at Leng ruoxue and asked cautiously.
"Right! You"re right, but if you don"t hurry up and save your clansmen, I"m afraid they"ll have to stay here forever. " From the corner of her eyes, Leng ruoxue could see that the two men in white were showing signs of exhaustion. Their divine power was obviously running low as well, so she quickly reminded them.
"I"ll go now. " When Ji Yun heard this, he immediately felt his heart heat up and spoke with a high-spirited manner.
After he finished speaking, he requested Leng ruoxue to untie the rope. Then, he strode towards the few people who were fighting valiantly and in high spirits.
"All of you, stop!" Ji Yun shouted loudly as he walked to the side of the five people in the chaotic battle.
When they heard this sudden voice, all five of them were stunned and involuntarily stopped fighting. However, when they saw that the person who stopped them was Ji Yun, the people on the grey-clothed man"s side were immediately enraged!
"I was wondering who was acting like a big Shot here! So you"re a coward from the Ji family!" The leading grey-robed man sneered. With that, the three other grey-robed men burst into laughter. Clearly, they did not place Ji Yun in their eyes.
"Zhou kun! You better watch your mouth. " "Shut up!" Ji Wu reprimanded Zhou kun while Ji Yun stood by the side heartlessly, not taking Zhou kun"s words seriously at all.
"What"s wrong? Did I say something wrong? This Ji Yun is a famous coward of your Ji clan, and to think that your clansmen are still so protective of him. If he was a member of our Zhou clan, we would have kicked him out long ago. Our clan doesn"t need such trash. " Zhou kun"s face was filled with undisguised contempt, while the three members of the Zhou family who were standing together laughed even more wildly.
"Shut your stinky mouth! Zhou kun, if I don"t beat the three of you up until your parents can"t recognize you, I"ll write the word "Ji" backward!" Ji tao roared with a fiery temper. He was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. If he could, he really wanted to rush up and bite the three people from the Zhou family a few times and trample them under his feet. After all, the Zhou family had been the Ji family"s arch-enemy for many years! The two families had always been at each other"s throats! Now that they had met here, it was impossible for them to let the other party go!
"Alright! Then you can write the word "Ji" backwards! Brothers, if the word "Ji" is reversed, is it still a word? Hahaha!" Zhou kun laughed smugly, while the other two members of the Zhou family also laughed wildly in cooperation.
In their eyes, the three people from the Ji family were like arrows at the end of their flight and were not worth mentioning at all. Ji Yun was a useless coward who had always been timid and afraid of trouble. On the other hand, Ji Wu and ji Tao"s physical strength and divine power had almost been exhausted by the three of them. They were not their opponents at all. Therefore, it could be said that Zhou kun and the other two people were completely fearless.
"Zhou kun, don"t be smug too early!" Ji Wu"s handsome face was flushed red. He was also quite angry.
"So what if I"m proud? Our young master kun has the right to be proud. " The person beside Zhou kun said with a fawning look on his face.
"That"s right. If your Ji family is tactful, quickly send Ji min to our Zhou family to be young master kun"s concubine. If our two families can become in-laws, young master kun can take care of you in the future. As for that coward, don"t even think about it." The other person also laughed wretchedly.
