Just as Xiao Qingyu was speaking with Shangguan Ying'er, a tall and imposing young man in a black robe approached. He suddenly wrapped his arm around Ling Mo Xie's neck and whispered in his ear, "Kid! I advise you not to have any ideas about Shangguan Ying'er. You are not worthy!" As he spoke, he slowly shook his head, his eyes filled with warning as he looked at Ling Mo Xie.
"Heh!" Ling Mo Xie chuckled lightly and defiantly glanced at the young man. "Who do you think you are? You’re not worthy either!"
"Kid, you!" The young man tightened his grip around Ling Mo Xie's neck, causing Ling Mo Xie’s face to flush red as he struggled to break free. "You’re seeking death! Miss Shangguan Ying'er and I are a perfect match, well-matched in status! How could I be unworthy?" The young man said coldly, looking at Ling Mo Xie, whose face was turning red from the pressure.
Ling Mo Xie felt a surge of anger. Strength! Strength! If only he had greater strength than this young man, why would he be at his mercy without any means to resist? The young man's arm was like an iron chain locked around him; Ling Mo Xie tried to pry it off with both hands but to no avail. He had no idea what level of cultivation this young man possessed.
The air grew thinner. Ling Mo Xie was only at the late stage of Enlightenment and had not yet reached the realm of inner breathing. His complexion gradually turned blue, and he seemed to hear the cracking sound of his own neck bones. Was he really going to die like this, suffocated without being able to put up any effective resistance? "Bang!" Yuyao kicked the side of the carriage nearby.
"Zhou Buzhi?" At that moment, Shangguan Ying'er, who had been discussing with Xiao Qingyu, turned her head upon hearing the commotion behind her and saw Zhou Buzhi choking Ling Mo Xie, whose face had already turned blue.
Not far away, other disciples from the Sect were whispering among themselves: "Look! That kid who came with Shangguan Ying'er has no power to resist under Zhou Buzhi's grip. He really is weak! I couldn’t tell his cultivation level before; I thought he was impressive!"
"Exactly! Look at him like that; ha! It’s so satisfying. I never thought Zhou Buzhi would be this good and so well-liked!" A boy with a twisted face from jealousy sneered in response.
"Tch! Turns out he's just a pretty boy! Haha! I bet he's just living off Miss Ying Er's looks!" A slender young man with a mole on his cheek said to those around him.
"What? Are you jealous? Who told you not to have a face like his? Haha!" Another person chimed in from the crowd.
Ling Mo Xie, already feeling dizzy, heard the discussions flooding into his ears and felt stifled by anger and humiliation. In the end, everything coalesced into two words that floated in his mind: strength!
"Zhou Buzhi! Let him go now!" Shangguan Ying'er turned around after assessing the situation and frowned as she sternly commanded.
"Ying'er! Look at him, his strength is so low, how can he be worthy of you? Why do you even care about his life or death? Let me take care of him for you, so you won't lose face!" Zhou Buzhi glanced at the nearly unconscious Ling Mo Xie and said to Shangguan Ying'er.
"Brother Zhou, that's where you're wrong! This young man is Ying... Shangguan Ying'er's friend. How can you harm him?" Xiao Qingyu maintained a graceful smile as he spoke, casting a glance at Shangguan Ying'er.
"Pah! Xiao Qingyu, stop pretending. Who doesn't know that you want to kill this kid even more than I do?" Zhou Buzhi spat disdainfully.
"Hmph! Have you two said enough? If you don't let go, do you want me to take action?" Shangguan Ying'er snorted coldly, pulling out a colorful ribbon from her storage ring. It was her weapon, a high-grade spiritual tool - the Colorful Silk Ribbon.
"This..." Seeing that Shangguan Ying'er was truly prepared to fight, Zhou Buzhi hesitated. He initially thought that this kid's low cultivation meant he wasn't important in Shangguan Ying'er's eyes. Even if he killed the kid, she might not distance herself from him. But the situation was clearly different from what he had imagined!
Seeing that Shangguan Ying'er was serious about taking action, Zhou Buzhi threw Ling Mo Xie aside and said, "Fine! I'll let him go then? I really don't understand why you value this kid so much when his cultivation is so low."
"He's at least a Level 3 Alchemist, not inferior to either of us!" Shangguan Ying'er put away her weapon and hurried over to support Ling Mo Xie, speaking calmly to Zhou Buzhi and Xiao Qingyu.
"You really underestimate us. So what if he's a Level 3 Alchemist? I'm also a Level 3 Array Master, but his cultivation can't compare to mine. How can we be on the same level?" Zhou Buzhi replied unhappily. Xiao Qingyu beside him merely waved his fan in silence, but his gaze clearly showed disdain for Ling Mo Xie.
"But he can refine perfect pills and produce Level 4 quality pills as a Level 3 Alchemist. Can you do that?" Shangguan Ying'er carefully helped the semi-conscious Ling Mo Xie lean against the carriage behind her.
"This..." Zhou Buzhi was at a loss for words. He exchanged glances with Xiao Qingyu, both falling silent. However, their gazes toward Ling Mo Xie were filled with even more hostility. Previously unaware of Ling Mo Xie's abilities, they were simply jealous that he could ride in Shangguan Ying'er's carriage. Although Zhou Buzhi and Xiao Qingyu wanted to kill him, they didn't believe Ling Mo Xie had the capability to compete with them.
But now that they knew Ling Mo Xie's talent in Alchemy, Zhou Buzhi and Xiao Qingyu regarded him as a real threat; they couldn't let him live! It was important to note that Shangguan Ying'er's master was the Grand Elder of the Azure Emperor Pavilion. The Azure Emperor Pavilion was renowned for its Alchemy skills and had many loose cultivators and sects seeking their guidance; their connections were incomparable to those of the Divine Martial Sect or the Weapon Sect.
Moreover, Shangguan Ying'er herself was an exceptionally beautiful woman! Zhou Buzhi and Xiao Qingyu had been eyeing her for a long time; obtaining her would mean more than just gaining a beauty! With Shangguan Ying'er's support, they were confident they could compete for the position of junior master within their sect!
Shangguan Ying'er, with her keen insight, had already noticed the intentions of the two and chose to ignore them. Instead, she continuously infused Ling Mo Xie with spiritual energy, aiming to heal him. All Ling Mo Xie could see were green +100 numbers appearing repeatedly in front of him, and he felt a sense of relief; this was restoring his health! He had just been choked by Zhou Buzhi and was determined by the System to have taken damage, leaving him in a stunned state where he couldn't use the Small Red Bottle. Now that he was saved by Shangguan Ying'er, he was finally able to use it again.
