Chapter 105 Unable to resist the urge to get closer
"It's not a big mission," Xiao Xueqing said in a nonchalant tone.
Yu Ming shifted his position for a while, only to find that Qin Chuan had no intention of giving up his seat at all.
Does this kid have no sense at all?
He is, after all, the mayor's son. If he wants to take this position now, anyone with a modicum of sense would definitely step aside.
Several rich kids gave Qin Chuan a wink.
Qin Chuan found it amusing and ignored it.
This made Yu Ming a little embarrassed. He bent down, wanting to sit in Qin Chuan's seat, but Qin Chuan didn't give up his seat, leaving him frozen in place.
"What are you doing...?" Xiao Xueqing looked at him suspiciously.
"Ah...it's nothing, it's nothing." Yu Ming gave an awkward smile and could only find a seat on the other side, but he looked a little unhappy.
However, because Xiao Xueqing was present, he couldn't lose his temper on the spot.
After a night's rest, everyone continued their journey the next day.
Originally there was one group of people, but now there is another group.
The two groups together numbered about thirty people, making it quite lively.
Wu Xiuyin deliberately slowed down and met Xiao Xueqing, who was walking behind her.
"Miss Xiao, I didn't expect you to personally come to a place like this."
"My family sent me here to gain experience," Xiao Xueqing said.
"The tomb of the terrestrial immortals can indeed serve as a training ground."
Wu Xiuyin nodded slightly, then looked at Qin Chuan with some confusion: "And who is this?"
"My friend heard about the tomb of a terrestrial immortal, so he came to check it out," Xiao Xueqing explained.
Wu Xiuyin glanced at them briefly and quickly categorized Qin Chuan and Yu Ming into the same group: these kinds of people were just bored and had nothing better to do than come and join in the fun.
Don't they know that the tombs of the strong are fraught with danger?
After chatting for a few minutes, Wu Xiuyin returned to the front.
"Grandma Wu, who is that young man?" Next to Wu Xiu was a young girl wearing a mask, but you could tell she was only about seventeen or eighteen years old.
She had been observing Qin Chuan. Although Qin Chuan's age was not something to be concerned about, she noticed that Xiao Xueqing seemed to respect the young man a lot, so she became a little curious.
"Miss Xiao is just a friend of Miss Xiao," Wu Xiuyin said calmly.
If others heard how Wu Xiuyin addressed this girl, they would probably be shocked.
Everyone thought Wu Xiuyin was the main person in charge of this group, but little did they know that the real person in charge was the girl next to her.
"Just friends..." The girl glanced back at Qin Chuan again, but only for a moment, so that no one could tell she was looking at him.
However, there were still some doubts about Qin Chuan's identity.
"Miss, perhaps you're overthinking it. At his age, even if he's a disciple of some master, his cultivation level wouldn't be very high." Wu Xiuyin didn't take Qin Chuan seriously.
"That's true." The girl nodded.
The moment the girl turned around, Qin Chuan noticed that she was watching him, but he didn't take it too seriously.
"You don't know the Wu family?"
"Never heard of it." Xiao Xueqing shook her head. "There are many martial arts families in the Dragon Kingdom. There are no less than twenty martial arts families in the capital alone. Moreover, many families will call themselves martial arts families as long as they produce a martial artist, regardless of their level."
"The Wu family is probably like that too. I wonder how they found out about the Tomb of the Land Immortal."
"However, it is a complete pipe dream for such a small family to try to break into the tomb of a terrestrial immortal."
His words also showed some disdain for Wu Xiuyin and others.
This is normal. Xiao Xueqing comes from the Xiao family of Kyoto, a top-ranking martial arts family. There are quite a few martial artists who came with her this time.
There are seven more realms!
With such force, they naturally didn't take Wu Xiuyin and her group seriously.
The reason I agreed to go together was simply to keep these people by my side and keep an eye on them.
Suddenly, Xiao Xueqing thought of something and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you perhaps think that Wu Xiuyin and her group are not simple?"
Qin Chuan shook his head. Even if Wu Xiuyin and her group were truly extraordinary, he wouldn't take them seriously.
Why would a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage need to be wary of martial artists on Earth?
It's uncertain whether this trip to the Tomb of the Land Immortals will yield any results.
For others, as long as they can enter the tomb of the terrestrial immortals, they are sure to reap a huge reward.
But Qin Chuan is different. He is a cultivator, and many things that are considered treasures by martial artists may be nothing more than trash in his eyes.
Even the most precious artifacts of the witchcraft path, in Qin Chuan's view, were barely usable and would need to be reforged.
They traveled in this way, stopping and starting, for three days.
The environment was getting worse and worse, with countless snakes and insects. Yu Ming and the others were starting to feel the strain, but they persevered in order to impress Xiao Xueqing.
"Actually, you can go back now," Xiao Xueqing said.
"That won't do."
Yu Ming said righteously, "Miss Xiao, my father specifically instructed me to take good care of you."
Xiao Xueqing didn't say anything more. After all, the other party was the mayor's son, so she naturally wouldn't say anything unpleasant.
Even martial arts families have to be polite when dealing with people in officialdom.
The increase in snakes, insects, and rodents has made life extremely difficult even for some high-level martial artists. Although they can release their internal energy to resist these snakes, insects, and rodents, they cannot release it indefinitely.
This harsh environment is especially unpleasant for martial artists, and being bitten by any of the insects here can cause them considerable discomfort for quite some time.
A martial artist who was a Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm was bitten and is still running a fever.
Not only this master, but many others have also been infected, which has slowed down the travel schedule.
"What kind of environment is this!" the girl said, sounding annoyed.
"Young Miss, please get as close to me as possible." Wu Xiuyin exuded a protective aura, shielding the young lady beside her.
When she got tired, she would have someone else take over.
We must do everything we can to prevent this girl from suffering even the slightest harm.
Xiao Xueqing was puzzled. Everyone else was suffering from this terrible environment, but she was completely unaffected.
wrong!
Sitting next to Qin Chuan should have been perfectly fine.
She looked at Qin Chuan in surprise. She couldn't see anything with the naked eye, but when she got close to Qin Chuan, she felt a cool sensation. It seemed that no snakes, insects, or rodents could get close.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xueqing moved a little closer to Qin Chuan, and the two were almost touching. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were a couple.
After the physical contact, Xiao Xueqing's face flushed slightly. She secretly glanced at Qin Chuan and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't seem to care at all.
The coolness emanating from the other person made her feel exceptionally comfortable, and she couldn't help but want to get closer...
