Chapter 351 Oh, it’s so hard to guess
In the projection, Miao Kaijie was smiling and talking to Lan Huaiqing. Lan Huaiqiu looked at the two people who seemed to be in a slightly harmonious atmosphere and slowly frowned.
"Do you care a lot?" Qiu Puyue knew a little about her situation, and seeing her like this, she asked softly.
"...I'm a little worried." Lan Huaiqiu smiled and quickly changed the subject, "Who is that girl? Why is he hugging her?!"
Qiu Puyue looked over when she heard this. Miao Kaijie suddenly reached out and hugged the girl beside him around the waist, then leaped back.
At the same time, a snake several meters long appeared in front of them. Its back was pitch black, its head was flattened, and its sharp fangs were exposed. It swayed its upright body and demonstrated to them.
The girl shuddered, having never expected Miao Kaijie to suddenly make such an intimate move. As soon as her toes touched the ground, she quickly distanced herself from Miao Kaijie, looking at him in astonishment and vigilance.
"Be careful." Miao Kaijie faced her wary gaze, and the fingers he had just held around her froze, then smiled casually, as if not taking it to heart. But Lan Huaiqing and Tian Yanyan both noticed his stiffness, and for a moment, their expressions varied.
He's not interested in her, is he?
Tian Yanyan looked at him with a strange expression and suspicion.
Lan Huaiqing glanced at Miao Kaijie, frowned slightly, and turned to look at the snake that suddenly jumped out.
Miao Kaijie glanced at Tian Yanyan and smiled at her, as if he was trying hard to suppress something, and looked at the snake calmly.
Tian Yanyan's suspicions grew. It wasn't like she hadn't encountered this kind of sudden lover before; most of them showed interest in her after just a brief encounter.
Lan Huaiqing glanced at Tian Yanyan. She did have a good look and figure, and her ability was acceptable, so it was normal for her to be favored by others.
...But he always felt that Miao Kaijie was not responsible for this.
Miao Kaijie did not give any explanation for the two people's complicated psychology. He just twisted his knuckles and flicked his fingers to drive the snake away.
"Humph--"
Yuan Tao snorted coldly: "You really have a lot of little tricks."
Lan Xinci glanced at her and said, "But it's very secretive."
"Hmm...did he do something?"
The girl next to Yuantao looked thoughtful and asked hesitantly.
Yuan Tao looked at her and slowed down her tone, but still spoke with some disdain: "He used his attributes, probably to test her."
"I don't think so." Lan Xinci said, "Yuan Tao, have you figured out what his attributes are?"
"Thread." Yuan Tao glanced at him. "Silk thread."
"Silk thread?" Shao Xinran was stunned. "Can such an attribute be cultivated so quickly? If I'm not mistaken, he should be at the same level as Brother Huai Qing."
"Yes, you didn't." Lan Xinci said, "He is also in the upper level of the Xuan realm."
Shao Xinran's eyes changed several times as she looked at Yuan Tao.
"To have achieved this level of cultivation before the age of twenty is truly a gifted person." Lan Xinci nodded, "It also requires hard work."
"In that case, he doesn't seem as bad as you thought." Lan Xinci said, glancing at Yuan Tao.
Yuan Tao snorted coldly, but said nothing.
Lan Xinci first noticed him because of Lan Huaiqiu and only glanced at him occasionally, but since he was with Lan Huaiqing, he naturally paid more attention to him. Now, seeing his sudden and inexplicable actions, he became interested and looked forward to whether Miao Kaijie would bring him a surprise.
but--
Lan Xinci glanced at the noisy crowd and immediately saw Lan Huaiqiu, who was looking at them with his chin in his hand.
I wonder if she noticed it too. If not, would she be sad?
Lan Xinci tried to figure out Lan Huaiqiu's mood at the moment, but Lan Huaiqiu kept his head tilted and his face could not be seen at all.
"That shouldn't be... that's what he meant, right?" Qiu Puryue glanced at Lan Huaiqiu cautiously and said, "Didn't he let go right away?"
"...Yeah." Lan Huaiqiu curled his lips and stared at the young man with half-closed eyes in the projection, frowning slightly.
In fact, she did not doubt that Miao Kaijie was interested in that girl. After all, after so many years, she still had some understanding of Miao Kaijie.
Although Miao Kaijie often makes jokes and seems quite frivolous and frivolous, he actually has a clear sense of distance and closeness in his interactions with anyone.
He probably didn't realize that when he disliked or had no feelings for someone, no matter how friendly his smile was, his body would unconsciously distance himself from them.
Just like now, although he was polite and smiling brightly towards the girl, as if he had a good impression of her, in fact, from the time they met until now, Miao Kaijie had kept a distance from her. It was just unclear why he had hugged her just now.
Lan Huaiqiu believed that Miao Kaijie had a purpose and was not trying to take advantage of others as most people thought. He must be going to do something, or had already done something, but she just didn't see it.
What did you do...
"Ah sneeze——!"
Miao Kaijie suddenly sneezed twice, rubbed the tip of his nose, and asked suspiciously, "Who is scolding me behind my back?"
Lan Huaiqing glanced at him and was already used to his eccentric behavior.
"Can't you keep your voice down?" Tian Yanyan complained. "What if you disturb them?"
"What can we do..." Miao Kaijie chuckled, "Just fight them."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lan Huaiqing frowned.
The three of them were on the cliff, watching the quarreling people below. Miao Kaijie secretly extended a wire to eavesdrop on their argument.
It turned out that there was a dispute between the Beastmaster Sect and other sects - Lan Huaiqing said it was the disciples of the Xuantian Sect. The cause seemed to be that the disciples of the Xuantian Sect wanted to use the magical beasts of the Beastmaster Sect disciples, but they were unwilling, so they started quarreling.
"How dare you say that? When has your Beast Taming Sect ever ranked in the top three in the Qi Cultivation Competition? Our Xuantian Sect has never fallen out of the top three. You're not even happy to borrow a magical beast from me!"
I only heard the Xuantian Sect disciple say angrily.
"Oh yes, you are so awesome, always in the top three... Are you among those in the top three? Are you among them?" The Beast Taming Sect disciple raised his lips to fight back.
"Exactly. Besides, if you're really like what you said, then why do you need our monsters? Just go by yourself!"
"Also, do you call that borrowing? Asking Cang Yue, who has been with me for over ten years, to be bait? Why don't you go yourself? Just peel off your clothes and go. Don't worry, someone will definitely be attracted here."
"You guys—are going too far!"
The Xuantian Sect disciple finally erupted, summoning his attributes and challenging the two Beast Taming Sect disciples to a duel. The two disciples, undeterred, attacked, and the three of them immediately engaged in a fight.
Miao Kaijie: ...
Miao Kaijie listened to them talking and felt it was childish.
The fact that they quarreled over such a small matter meant either they had a long-standing grudge or they were extremely arrogant. From what I heard, it seems to be the latter.
Are all the sect disciples so ambitious?
Miao Kaijie glanced at Lan Huaiqing. Lan Huaiqing keenly sensed the question he was about to ask, paused, and pretended not to see it.
The fight was a chaotic one, with clouds of dust and flying rocks. Both sides were at a higher level, and after just three moves, they began to unleash their full power. The aftermath naturally affected all three of them. While Tian Yanyan was still hesitating whether to leave, Miao Kai, Jie Lan, and Huai Qing had already retreated a distance.
"Why are they fighting?" Tian Yanyan was only at the intermediate level and had no idea what they were talking about.
Lan Huaiqing glanced at Miao Kaijie without saying anything. Miao Kaijie looked back in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh, "Why do the people around me always become mute for no apparent reason?"
Lan Huaiqing: ...
He couldn't tell for a moment whether this was a genuine sigh of emotion or a mockery.
Miao Kaijie shook his head and tutted his words twice, then glanced at Tian Yanyan and didn't answer: "I don't know, I didn't hear it clearly either."
Tian Yanyan frowned slightly and looked at him.
Miao Kaijie noticed her scrutiny and his eyes suddenly turned cold. He stared at her with a half-smile: "Don't look at me like that."
Tian Yanyan was startled by the look and her body froze, not knowing how to respond.
But Miao Kaijie laughed the next moment, and the sharpness just now seemed to be just an illusion. "Why are you so nervous? It was just a joke."
"...You don't seem to be joking." Tian Yanyan frowned, feeling depressed.
She had never seen such a fickle person before. Could it be that he was holding a grudge against her because she didn't thank him for helping her before?
But it was obviously him who was too abrupt, jumpy and had no manners at all.
Tian Yanyan thought about it, glanced at Miao Kaijie's attire, and thought that judging from his appearance, he must have come from a poor background, no wonder he looked like this.
"Are you from the Qin Sect?" Tian Yanyan couldn't help but ask when she saw Lan Huaiqing's familiar clothes.
"I am." Lan Huaiqing nodded to her.
Miao Kaijie: "I'm not."
Tian Yanyan nodded. This was within her expectations. She casually asked, "Where are you from?"
"Me? Jade." Miao Kaijie glanced at her, jumped up and hung on the branch, putting some distance between him and the two of them.
Lan Huaiqing has become accustomed to his occasional nervousness. Tian Yanyan frowned. Although she didn't say much, she could feel that she was disgusted.
"...Jade?" Tian Yanyan suddenly realized what was happening and looked up in surprise. "Are you an evil cultivator?"
"No." Miao Kaijie pulled the silk thread and swung to a distant tree, letting out a strange cry of "Ah~~".
Lan Huaiqing: ...
Tian Yanyan:......
Tian Yanyan's mouth twitched, and she trotted after him: "Then aren't you going up the stairs?"
"Yes." Miao Kaijie didn't even turn his head, as if he didn't know she was chasing him, and his speed didn't slow down at all.
"That--"
Tian Yanyan wanted to say something else: "Then you know—Ahhhh!!"
Lan Huaiqing who just caught up:?
Lan Huaiqing took a closer look and saw a cliff ahead. Miao Kaijie swung over easily to the opposite cliff. Tian Yanyan slipped and fell without noticing.
Fortunately, he grabbed the tree trunk beside the cliff at the critical moment. Half of Tian Yanyan's body was hanging in the air, still in shock.
"What...are you doing?!" Tian Yanyan came to her senses and couldn't help but curse.
"Huh?" Miao Kaijie sat on the opposite branch, his legs dangling in the air and swinging back and forth, tilting his head in confusion. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?!" Tian Yanyan mobilized her vital energy and jumped over. She stood under the tree where he was sitting, pinching her waist and angrily scolded him, "Why didn't you tell me?!"
"What did you say?" Miao Kaijie became more and more confused.
"A cliff!" Tian Yanyan looked at him in disbelief. "What if I fall down and die?"
"It's just your bad luck." Miao Kaijie smiled brightly, just like before.
"You——" Tian Yanyan was speechless and looked at him as if he were a monster.
Miao Kaijie seemed oblivious: "I just saw it too. Besides, you're at the Profound Realm at least. If you can't even react to this and get thrown to death, it only shows that you're too stupid and not worthy of this realm at all."
After saying that, his face was still facing forward, and his distinct black and white pupils suddenly moved downward, staring at her coldly.
"Isn't it?"
It was very strange. Miao Kaijie was clearly smiling, and the curve of his mouth hadn't changed at all compared to before, but he gave people a cold and heartless feeling.
Tian Yanyan was frightened by his eyes again, and felt a chill all over her body. She couldn't help but take two steps back.
"If you retreat any further, you'll go down."
Unexpectedly, Miao Kaijie suddenly narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand with a smile, and did something to pull her back through the air.
"Be careful..." Miao Kaijie jumped down from the tree and was in front of her in the blink of an eye. The cold air on his body disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. "Don't fall again."
Tian Yanyan's body trembled as she stared at him in shock and doubt, and a sudden fear arose in her heart.
At this time, Lan Huaiqing had already crossed the cliff and frowned slightly as he looked at the two people with a strange atmosphere.
With his level of cultivation, he could certainly hear the conversation here. He didn't know why Miao Kaijie made such a move, nor could he figure out what Miao Kaijie was thinking.
"What's wrong?" Lan Huaiqing broke the silence.
"Is it okay?" Miao Kaijie blinked innocently and smiled, "It's just that this girl has a prejudice against me."
"What do you mean I—"
"Isn't that so?" Miao Kaijie asked back, "Why was your first reaction when you couldn't stop and fell to put the blame on me? And how could I have imagined that a mid-level Profound Realm cultivator couldn't even react to this? If your reaction is really so slow, then you'd better admit defeat quickly, and don't let yourself be beaten and cry for your mother later."
"You—!" Tian Yanyan was furious. "You're going too far!"
"I'm just telling the truth." Miao Kaijie disagreed.
"Are you going to imitate the three people just now?" Lan Huaiqing asked, looking at Miao Kaijie and Tian Yanyan, and said softly.
Tian Yanyan choked, glanced at Miao Kaijie, then glanced away and ignored him.
Upon seeing this, Miao Kaijie also stopped and said nothing more.
"The results are out just now?" Miao Kaijie looked at Lan Huaiqing, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who won?"
"I don't know." Lan Huaiqing glanced at him, "You guys were moving so fast, I didn't have time to look."
"Oh, it's too late, so forget it." Miao Kaijie shrugged, not feeling any regret. "Just don't get affected."
"You're such a coward! Your cultivation is truly wasted." Tian Yanyan couldn't help but sarcastically say, "You still have the nerve to criticize me like this."
"If you want to go, then go." Miao Kaijie looked at her and said with a half-smile, "Why not pick up some loose ends after they fight and eliminate the winners? Or perhaps take advantage of the chaos to trip them up and make them perish together?"
Miao Kaijie had a fake smile on his face.
"Don't you want to, or don't you have the ability? Oh, it's so hard to guess..."
