26: Chapter 26 Almost Succeeded

"I remember now, you must be that fiancé of Junior Sister Xiahou that the rumors talk about!" Wan Shan stared at Xiang Tian.

In the information he knew, Xiang Tian was an out-and-out waste, with low cultivation, finding it difficult even to Cultivate.

But the person before his eyes, calm in manner and daring to take the initiative to claim ownership, didn't seem to have anything to do with the word "waste" no matter how he looked at it.

"Hmm? You even know about this?" Xiang Tian feigned vigilance and stepped forward, shielding Xiahou Yun behind him, "You wouldn't happen to be plotting against Little Yun, would you?"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Xiahou Yun's wrist, his posture intimate.

Xiahou Yun wanted to break free, but was quietly stopped by Xiang Tian with a look.

"Hmph! It really is you." Wan Shan frowned, "But how are you different from the rumors? Supposedly, you have trouble even Cultivating, so how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me?"

He really couldn't understand how a waste could have such a big change in just one short year.

"Brother, what ancient history are you talking about!" Wan Jingyun rolled her eyes, stepped forward, and said, "As early as a year ago, Senior Brother Xiang had already risen. I heard that he wreaked havoc in the Secret Realm, and even many veteran Cultivators were no match for him!"

"Is that so? There's actually such a thing?" Wan Shan looked at Xiang Tian in surprise. He had been busy with closed-door Cultivation for the past year and hadn't paid much attention to news from the outside world.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Wan Jingyun looked up at the sky; the sunset was about to set, "It's getting dark, not suitable for continuing to go deeper. The nights in the forest are not safe, as high-level Spirit Beasts will come out to forage."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Wan Shan: "Brother, have the Junior Brothers set up tents right here."

"Good." Wan Shan nodded and instructed the Wanyun Sect Disciples behind him: "You few, hurry up and set up the tents, be quick!"

"Yes!" Several Disciples immediately took action, took out the tools and cloth they carried with them, skillfully set up the tents, and sprinkled beast-repelling powder.

"Junior Sister Xiahou, you rest on the side first, I will help you set up a more spacious tent." Wan Shan looked at Xiahou Yun.

"Senior Brother Wan, there is no need to trouble yourself with taking care of my Dao Companion." Xiang Tian interrupted him directly and exchanged an inflatable tent from the System shop.

He pressed the inflation valve, and the tent expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, a spacious and exquisite tent was set up.

"What is this thing? Why have I never seen it before?" Wan Jingyun curiously leaned forward, reached out to poke the tent fabric, and discovered it was actually elastic.

"Little Yun, let's go in and rest." Xiang Tian pulled Xiahou Yun and was about to walk into the tent.

"You..." Xiahou Yun just wanted to object, but her mouth was covered by Xiang Tian.

"In front of outsiders, our relationship needs to be closer." Xiang Tian leaned into her ear and whispered, "That Wan Shan clearly has bad intentions, don't give him any opportunity."

After saying that, he pulled Xiahou Yun into the tent without further ado.

Inside the tent, Xiahou Yun pushed Xiang Tian away, her face cold: "What do you want to do?"

"What else could I want to do?" Xiang Tian spread his hands, "We have already practiced Dual Cultivation, do we still care about sleeping in the same tent?"

"Xiang Tian, what do you mean?" Xiahou Yun's eyes instantly became sharp.

"Don't be angry, I was just saying it casually." Xiang Tian quickly softened his stance, "When out and about, one must guard against others, especially people like Wan Shan who are interested in you. Rest assured, you sleep on the bed, and I will just make do on the floor for the night."

"Who said you have to sleep on the floor?" Xiahou Yun took a deep breath, "Come up and sleep, but you are not allowed to move around."

"Alright!" Xiang Tian immediately jumped onto the bed, lay down obediently at the edge of the bed, and closed his eyes.

Xiahou Yun looked at his appearance, feeling somewhat complicated, always feeling like she had fallen for his trick.

"See, I'm beside you, and I didn't plan on doing anything to you, right?" Xiang Tian opened his eyes and smiled at her.

Xiahou Yun didn't speak, turned around, and lay down with her back to him, but secretly remained vigilant in her heart, fearing he might suddenly make a move.

Fortunately, for the next few hours, Xiang Tian was very well-behaved and didn't make any unnecessary moves.

Xiahou Yun gradually relaxed and fell asleep without realizing it.

In the middle of the night, Xiang Tian quietly opened his eyes, looking at the sleeping Xiahou Yun beside him.

Moonlight shone through the cracks in the tent, landing on her exquisite profile, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, looking exceptionally alluring.

Xiang Tian swallowed his saliva. He was no Liuxia Hui; with such a great beauty lying beside him, how could he not be tempted?

"Anyway, we have already practiced Dual Cultivation, it doesn't matter if we do it one more time." He muttered in his heart, carefully reaching out his hand, little by little unbuttoning Xiahou Yun's clothes.

Just as he was preparing for further action, Xiahou Yun suddenly opened her eyes and kicked him onto the floor.

"Ah!" Xiang Tian cried out in pain.

Xiahou Yun quickly sat up, not even bothering to put on her clothes, rushed to Xiang Tian's side, and punched and kicked him: "Xiang Tian, you actually dare to make a move while I'm sleeping!"

"Little Yun, I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!" Xiang Tian covered his head and begged for mercy.

"Hmph! If I don't beat you up, you won't know how tough I am!" Xiahou Yun was furious.

"Hurry up and put on your clothes, I've seen your whole body." Xiang Tian reminded her.

Xiahou Yun finally realized, and quickly turned around to put on her clothes.

Xiang Tian muttered in his heart: Next time I must find a more secure opportunity, this time was just too impatient.

But right at this moment, the tent curtain was suddenly pulled open, and Wan Jingyun poked her head in. Before she could speak, she saw the two of them in disarray.

"Ah! Pervert!" Wan Jingyun shrieked, turned around, and ran away.

"Are you crazy! Peeping at other people's privacy and still calling me a pervert?" Xiang Tian rolled his eyes and quickly scrambled up to put on his clothes.

After such a commotion, he had no heart to sleep anymore, so he simply walked out of the tent, intending to wander around the vicinity and find a place with water to calm down.

Soon, he found a lake in the depths of the forest and jumped in without hesitation.

"Splash!"

"Comfortable!" The cold lake water made him sober up instantly, "This can't be blamed on me, who let Little Yun be so beautiful."

Just as Xiang Tian was enjoying the coolness of the lake water, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the bank: "Hmm? Kid, you are actually here?"

He looked up, and his face changed instantly. Standing on the bank was none other than Deacon Yang!

Xiang Tian's heart tightened; this was too coincidental!

"Hmph! Didn't expect this, right?" Deacon Yang sneered, "You thought hiding in the depths of the forest would make you safe? Tell me, where is Xiahou Yun? As long as you tell me, I will let you go."

"Old thing, don't even think about it!" Xiang Tian snorted coldly, "Little Yun is my wife, how could I possibly betray her?"

"Oh? This is a bit interesting." Deacon Yang raised his eyebrows, "Then that means if I capture you, I can find her."

"Deacon Yang, you shouldn't be the only one here! Call them all out!"

"Hehe, do I need others to deal with you? If I bring you to the Fifth Elder, wouldn't the reward be mine alone?" Deacon Yang was indifferent.

Xiang Tian rolled his eyes, "Deacon Yang wants to capture me so much."

"So don't struggle anymore."

"Then how about this, let's have a fight. If I lose, I will surrender. I am too lazy to run away anyway, and I can't escape."

"Hmm? You kid have good awareness, I appreciate you. If you help us capture Xiahou Yun, I can help you find whatever kind of woman you want."

Xiang Tian swam slowly to the bank and steamed the water off his body.

"Kid, you have courage, you make the first move!"

"Then I won't be polite, go."

Xiang Tian moved his body.

Deacon Yang didn't pay much attention.

However, this move was not that simple.

Suddenly, his vision blurred, and a fox claw swiped at him.

"Bang!"

It hit his head, and he died on the spot.

"Well done!" Xiang Tian gave a thumbs up to Bai Yu.

"Master, is there a reward?"

Bai Yu transformed into human form and ran to Xiang Tian.

"Mwah!"

"That's enough, right!"

Xiang Tian kissed her on the face.

"Wow! Master kissed me!" Bai Yu jumped up happily.

Xiang Tian looked at her like this, feeling somewhat speechless in his heart.

"Alright, let's see what's in his Storage Pouch first." Xiang Tian gathered his thoughts, picked up Deacon Yang's Storage Pouch, opened it, and his eyes instantly brightened.

"There are actually 5 million Spirit Stones! This guy is really filthy rich!" Xiang Tian exclaimed, "There are also many healing Medicinal Pills and Qi Gathering Pills, and even a sword of Divine Ability level!"

He continued to rummage and soon found a recording jade slip.

After injecting spiritual power, a cold voice came from the jade slip: "You must kill Xiahou Yun. I have already invited external aid; the Sect Leader must die."

A short sentence made Xiang Tian's face instantly turn gloomy.

"Actually wanting to make a move against the Sect Leader, it seems the Grand Elder's faction is determined to rebel!" Xiang Tian clenched his fists, "It's a pity that Xiahou Yu and Duanmu Hongdie are still in the Haotian Sect. If I leave now, they will definitely be in danger."

He must think of a way as soon as possible to resolve the crisis of the Grand Elder's faction and ensure the safety of Xiahou Yu and Duanmu Hongdie.
