Chapter 15 Meeting Si Yunzhou Again
Looking at the young man in front of him, he has grown a lot taller than two years ago. No wonder Pei Cangli didn't recognize him at first sight. At that time, he didn't know what his cultivation level was. Now it seems that he has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Friend Si, what a coincidence! I am still alive and I have started practicing. I see you have got the mission. Are you still short of people?"
Si Yunzhou looked at Pei Cangli with great satisfaction, "I have to call you Fellow Daoist Pei now. Your cultivation has reached the peak of Qi Refining. When I saw you two years ago, you were still a weak mortal. It seems that you must have had a hard time alone in the past two years!"
Seeing Si Yunzhou's eyes becoming more and more loving, as if seeing her was like seeing his long-lost daughter, Pei Cangli quickly interrupted him and said, "It's not bad. Except for the time you saw, when I almost died, everything else was fine."
As soon as Pei Cangli finished speaking, Si Yunzhou's eyes immediately changed from loving to angry. "I was not thoughtful enough that time and failed to protect you. Don't worry, I will protect you well in the future and will never let you get hurt again."
What has happened to him in the past two years? He wasn't like this before. Could it be that the bright and cheerful young man has now been driven crazy by the world of cultivation?
After finally meeting an acquaintance, it turned out like this. Pei Cangli was wondering whether he should team up with him or not? Let me ask you one last time. If there are enough people, I will withdraw directly.
"Friend Si, what happened before has nothing to do with you. Besides, I am no longer a mortal. My cultivation is not bad now. I can protect myself. Does your team still need anyone?"
Perhaps Pei Cangli's tone was a little impatient, Si Yunzhou's expression returned to normal, "We just happened to be short of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, and you're here to fill the gap. The other team members have gone shopping and will be back soon."
"Fellow Daoist Pei, let's exchange jade slips so that we can communicate during the mission." Si Yunzhou said as he secretly observed Pei Cangli's expression. When he was discovered, he pretended to cough twice and turned his head to other directions.
Pei Cangli was somewhat speechless. What on earth was he going to do? I was a Qi Refining Stage person, so there was nothing for him to plot against. Besides, I was the first one to approach him, so he probably had no time to plot against me. Did he start to have this idea after he saw me?
"Friend Si Dao, if you have anything to say, please speak directly. I am a little uneasy because of your strange behavior. Or do you have any plans for me?"
The boy's face flushed red, and he explained hastily, "No, I didn't. I just blamed myself for not being able to save you before. I thought you were dead. Now that I finally see you, I want to..."
"Brother Yunzhou, I'm back." A familiar voice sounded behind me.
"Pei Cangli, why is it you again? You really are haunting me. You were with Lin Yi before, and now you are hooking up with Brother Yunzhou." Pei Cangli was about to reply when Liu You's delicate voice came out.
Si Yunzhou stepped in front of Pei Cangli and said expressionlessly, "Friend Pei is an old friend of mine. She also saved me before. I invited her here."
Liu You glanced at Pei Cangli and said coquettishly, "But Brother Yunzhou, the five of us are enough, why do we need another burden?"
"If we judge by your cultivation level, I'm afraid you are the burden." Another young man in a moon-white robe slowly walked over.
Liu You snorted, turned away and stopped talking.
The young man nodded to Si Yunzhou and said, "Brother, I have prepared everything."
Si Yunzhou took out the storage bag and handed it to him, "Go again and prepare one more portion, and also prepare some for Cangli."
"Friend Si, don't bother me. I have already prepared all my things."
Just as I finished speaking, the remaining two people also arrived. One of them was Lin Yi’s senior brother. I bowed and said, “Hello, Senior Brother Gu. Nice to see you again. Isn’t Lin Yi here today?”
"Stop trying to make connections here. When did my Senior Brother Gu become your Senior Brother? Some people should know their place."
Gu Chen glanced at Liu You and said directly, "It's okay. You and Lin Yi are friends. He calls me Senior Brother, so you should call him Senior Brother too. Lin Yi was delayed by something in the sect."
Si Yunzhou introduced the other two people. The young man in the moon-white robe was his junior fellow apprentice, named Ji Feng, who had reached the peak of Qi Refining. The other young man in the black tights was Senior Brother Gu’s friend, named Zhang Zhi, who had also reached the peak of Qi Refining.
"Friend Si, I see that your team already has two cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining. You really don't need another one like me. I won't go this time. We can go together next time if there's a chance."
"Some people are still self-aware and know the importance of things." Liu You muttered softly. Although his voice seemed low, everyone could hear it.
"Cang Li, you are just right. You know, some people in our team are just there to make up the numbers. Besides, I got this mission, so I will let whoever I want to participate. If anyone is dissatisfied, they don't have to participate."
Gu Chen looked at Liu You with dissatisfaction, "Fellow Daoist Si is right. Fellow Daoist Pei should stay. Besides, your cultivation at the peak of Qi Refining is also a great strength to our entire team."
After saying that, Gu Chen pulled Liu You aside and said, "Can you keep your mouth shut during this training? If you continue to target Pei Cangli like this, don't count on me in the future. I brought you out here. As a senior brother, I want to protect you, but if you insist on looking for trouble on your own, don't drag me into it."
Ji Feng looked at Pei Cangli with a surprised look on his face. "So you are Pei Cangli. You are not a mortal. Didn't you fall to the bottom of the lake?"
Without waiting for her to answer, Ji Feng continued, "Since my senior brother came back, he has been talking about you all day long, saying that you, a mere mortal, saved him, but he failed to protect you. He even chanted the mantra for you for eighty-one days, hoping that you can be reborn into a good family in your next life."
"Brother used to be extremely talented, but because of this incident, his cultivation has been stagnant. He just established his foundation not long ago, and Master asked me to accompany him and take a walk down the mountain. We are all worried that Brother will develop a mental disorder because of this incident and won't be able to form a pill."
Pei Cangli was a little surprised. It turned out that he became like this because of me. I didn’t expect that the young boy had such a strong sense of morals. No wonder he always said that he would protect me.
"Ji Feng, you happen to have a flying magic weapon, so you can form a group with Fellow Daoist Zhang Zhi. Fellow Daoist Gu Chen, you can fly the sword and form a group with your junior sister. Cang Li and I will form a group. Let's rush to Qingcheng Mountain together first."
"Brother Yunzhou, I want to be in a group with you. Senior brother flies his sword too fast, I'm scared..."
Before Liu You could finish his words, Si Yunzhou had already left with Pei Cangli, followed by Ji Feng and Zhang Zhi. They were riding on a gourd and were moving very fast.
"Cang Li, this is your first time flying with a sword, so you may not be used to it. Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Pei Cangli wanted to laugh. I’m not afraid at all. I closed my eyes and felt the wind blowing towards me. I quite like this feeling. Even if I really fall, Hongyu will catch me.
Seeing Pei Cangli closing her eyes in fear, Si Yunzhou thought: She is being chased by enemies at such a young age. Looking at her current level of cultivation at the peak of Qi Refining, she must have suffered a lot over the years and met many bad people. That's why she is so wary of others and doesn't trust me.
While thinking, Si Yunzhou threw out a magic circle to block the oncoming wind. As soon as the magic circle opened, Pei Cangli opened his eyes. Si Yunzhou thought silently, he closed his eyes because of fear.
Suddenly the wind stopped. Pei Cangli opened his eyes and saw that Si Yunzhou had thrown out a magic circle at some point. Was he worried that the wind would mess up his hair?
