Chapter 128 Top Love Brain
Chapter 128 Top Love Brain
"Hmm...where am I?"
"Ouch! My head hurts so much! And my whole body aches!!"
One by one, the group of people opened their eyes groggily, struggling to sit up and support themselves on the ground, momentarily disoriented.
Feng Xiyue noticed their matching clothes, her eyes flickered, and then she leaned close to Su Luo and whispered, "They should be disciples of the Fengying Sect."
Su Luo nodded.
Actually, she had only just noticed it herself. After all, the Wind Shadow Sect's robes were emerald green, and mixed in with the vines, she hadn't really noticed them at first glance.
In her previous life, Su Luo had only met the Fengying Sect twice and had little impression of the sect's members, only knowing that most of them were skilled in weapon crafting. Furthermore, the sect often ranked third and fourth in sect competitions, giving them a sense of being in the same boat.
Just then, someone with sharp eyes finally noticed the vines binding them and cried out in alarm, "How come I have vines on me?! Ouch! That hurts!"
"Oh right! We were just dealing with that poisonous vine when it suddenly bound us and we passed out! It seems the thorns on the vine are poisonous!"
"Waaaaah... I'm so glad I'm still alive! I thought I was going to die!"
Before the group could even calm down, a baby-faced boy spotted Chu Wenqing not far away. "Hey, Chu Wenqing?! What are you doing here? You... what are you doing here? By the way, where's my senior sister?!"
After saying that, the baby-faced boy, disregarding his pale complexion and the fact that his whole body was bound by vines, raised his head and tried his best to hop and jump to find his beloved senior sister.
"Senior sister! Senior sister, where are you?!"
Everyone subconsciously looked over, only then noticing Su Luo and her three companions, as well as the chaotic mess around them.
"He is a direct disciple of the Lingxiao Sect!"
What are they doing here?
"Holy crap! Isn't that the poison ivy that almost killed us?! It's got a huge hole in it, and all the vines are gone!!"
Chu Wenqing slowly raised her hand to greet the boy, "Oh, it's you, Shen Anzhi."
Shen Anzhi and Chu Wenqing were clearly quite familiar with each other. He hurriedly asked Chu Wenqing to help him untie the vines binding him, his head held high as he looked around erratically. "Hurry up and untie me! I still need to find my senior sister! Huh, where did my senior sister go?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're still the same as ever, always talking about senior sister..." You're such a love-struck fool.
Despite his complaints, Chu Wenqing moved swiftly, took his sword, and quickly cut off the vines covering Shen Anzhi's body.
"Brother, thanks!"
After regaining his freedom, Shen Anzhi thanked Chu Wenqing and was about to leave when Chu Wenqing grabbed him, saying, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't rush off! I have something to ask you."
"What is it?" Shen Anzhi was extremely anxious. He tried to shake off Chu Wenqing, but because he had been sucked a lot of blood by the thorns of the poisonous vine, he couldn't break free for a while.
Chu Wenqing pointed to the vines on the ground, "Look, I just helped you, so you don't need these vines anymore, right? If you don't want them, give them to me as payment for helping you."
Even a fly's leg is still meat, and Chu Wenqing wasn't going to let it go to waste! These vines would be enough for him to buy lots of good things!
Shen Anzhi glanced at the vines on the ground, knowing they were valuable spiritual plants, but he quickly looked away and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay! Here you go!!"
Compared to my senior sister's safety, what are the mere vines of the Bauhinia poison ivy?
"It's a deal!" Chu Wenqing was overjoyed. He withdrew his hand and bent down to gather the vines, while Shen Anzhi hurried to find his senior sister.
After Chu Wenqing put away the vines, he looked at the others, who were all looking completely bewildered.
"Do you need any help too? But I'll need your vines as payment."
The others were taken aback by Chu Wenqing's suggestion. They looked down at the tightly bound vines around their bodies, and several of them nodded hurriedly, "Please!"
Those men were all weapon refiners, and their pockets were always full, so they didn't particularly care about the Purple Thorn Poison Vine vines. After all, what's a life worth compared to that?!
The other disciples who hadn't asked Chu Wenqing for help were too embarrassed to ask him for free, so they had to ask their companions, who had already escaped, for assistance.
While busy with his work, Chu Wenqing didn't forget to call out to Su Luo and the others. Seeing this, Feng Xiyue went over to help, but Su Luo and Song Qiao didn't move and just stood by watching.
Su Luo didn't move because she was too lazy to do it; she didn't need those few coins. Song Qiao, on the other hand, was somewhat socially awkward and didn't dare to interact with outsiders.
Once the vines had been removed from everyone, Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue quickly collected them, beaming with joy.
Seeing its worthless appearance, the members of the Wind Shadow Sect all had extremely strange expressions.
They knew the Lingxiao Sect was poor, but this was just too much...
At this moment, Shen Anzhi finally found his senior sister Ye, who had just woken up, at the farthest point.
The girl was covered in wounds, and her pretty face was as pale as paper. After the vines were removed from her body, she was so weak that she almost fell. Shen Anzhi quickly supported her, his eyes slightly red.
"Senior sister! You're badly injured!"
Ye shook his head weakly, "It's nothing serious. Can you take out some healing pills from my storage bag so I can use my internal energy to heal myself?"
"Yes……"
Shen Anzhi sniffed and quickly took out a healing pill to feed Ye Yi.
After taking the pills and practicing her internal energy to heal her injuries for a while, Ye felt much better. Then, she glanced at the group of people not far away, got up with Shen Anzhi's help, and walked towards Feng Xiyue and the others.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, I see that this poisonous vine has fallen silent. Could it be that you killed it?"
Feng Xiyue had a good impression of Ye, so she said in a friendly tone, "It was indeed us who killed him."
Ye's gaze swept over Su Luo and the other two, pausing for a moment on Su Luo's face. He repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you all for your help. If it weren't for you dealing with this poisonous vine, we would probably be in grave danger."
Ye, being the senior disciple of the Fengying Sect, took the lead in expressing her opinion, and the others naturally followed suit. As a result, everyone expressed their gratitude to Su Luo and her companions, and their impression of the Lingxiao Sect improved somewhat.
Although the people from the Lingxiao Sect are strange, they are good people just because they saved everyone!
Feng Xiyue waved her hands repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's nothing! We were just doing it on the side. After all, we can only pass through the teleportation array smoothly if we deal with the Purple Thorn Poison Vine."
"Sigh, that's what I thought at first too. I thought that by leading a group to besiege this poisonous vine, we could get through the formation, but in the end, I was careless and almost suffered a total annihilation." As he said this, a look of self-reproach flashed across Ye's face.
Shen Anzhi was heartbroken and quickly comforted her, "Don't blame Senior Sister, she did her best! If it weren't for her efforts to protect us, we would probably all be seriously injured and unable to get up!"
The others nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes! We're only safe thanks to our senior sister!"
"It's all because our cultivation levels are insufficient. Not only could we not save ourselves, but we also caused our senior sister to get injured!"
Hearing her junior brothers and sisters' comforting words, Ye was moved. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and her pale face combined with her serene smile was truly captivating.
"It's good that everyone is alright..."
From childhood to adulthood, Shen Anzhi rarely saw his senior sister smile. Now, seeing her, he stared at her intently without blinking. Unfortunately, Ye Xi didn't react at all and turned to talk to Feng Xiyue.
Su Luo's gaze darted between the two, and finally she couldn't resist reaching out and nudging Chu Wenqing, asking gossipily, "Does Shen Anzhi like his senior sister?"
"More than just liking it."
Chu Wenqing rolled his eyes. "He's been determined to be Fellow Daoist Ye's childhood sweetheart since he was a child, following her around all day. He's practically the most love-struck person in the world!"
"So persistent?"
Su Luo raised an eyebrow, "So, did he succeed?"
"It's too early! Fellow Daoist Ye only regards him as a junior brother and has no romantic feelings for him at all."
Su Luo silently mourned for Shen Anzhi for two seconds, then asked, "You two seem to know each other quite well. Have you dealt with each other before?"
"Well, cough cough..."
Hearing Su Luo mention this, Chu Wenqing coughed awkwardly, then whispered, "You know, I used to be so poor that I had no choice but to set up a stall to help people with their problems. This guy came to me back then. Maybe he thought my advice was helpful, because ever since then he's liked to confide in me about his relationship troubles. He'll pour out his heart to me all the time, always calling me 'senior sister,' I'm sick of hearing it. If it weren't for the fact that he always charges a hefty price, I wouldn't bother with him at all..."
Su Luo understood. "I see."
When she first met Chu Wenqing, he was setting up a stall there listening to people's troubles. It turned out that this was his long-term side job.
However, Chu Wenqing himself is quite unreliable, and that boy named Shen Anzhi has contacted him so many times, it just doesn't seem right for him...
Su Luo and Chu Wenqing were still whispering to each other, completely unaware that Song Qiao behind them had heard everything. The boy's expression changed, and his gaze towards Shen Anzhi became very strange.
Completely baffled, Shen Anzhi asked, "?"
