Di Mo Jiu was momentarily stunned by Jun Qiyan's words. He frowned as he looked at her. He was about to ask her something, but after some thought, he suddenly understood —

"So that's how it is …"

Although his eyebrows had loosened, Di Mo Jiu's expression didn't look any better.

Since it was a spirit beast hunted by Jun Qiyan, and the quantity was so huge, then the crystals formed would be extraordinary.

Not to mention this was the result of Jun Qianyan's seriously injured body. Just based on the relationship between Jun Qianyan and Li Shu Ran, it was impossible for Jun Qianyan to be so generous as to give this hard-won crystal core to Li Shu Ran.

In this way, there was only one possibility that the crystal core was not in Jun Qiyan's hands — that was, Li Shu Ran had stood idly by and stolen the crystal core that Jun Qianyan had risked her life to obtain!

"This has nothing to do with you."

She knew that he must have understood her meaning, but this was after all, a grudge between Li Shu Ran and her, and shouldn't involve a man like Di Mo Jiu. Jun Qi suppressed her voice and warned, "But I won't let her off just like this. I don't want other people to get involved in this matter between us!"

"Yes."

Seeing the resolute look on Jun Qianyan's face, Di Mo Jiu didn't say anything else. He simply gave a faint "yes" and gave up.

"Swish ~ ~ ~"

The sound of the leaves rustling in the evening wind lingered in his ears as he followed Di Mo Jiu back the same way they came.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jun Qiyan only felt that she was on the verge of collapsing. The wind was blowing her black hair into a mess, causing her eyes to be dazzled.

The sky had already turned completely dark, leaving only the bright red light in the horizon.

The faint sound of footsteps came from behind Jun Qiyan. After nightfall, the forest seemed even more tranquil, and the slight sound was amplified many times. Compared to the miasma that shrouded the forest during the day, the forest that was shrouded in darkness was not safe at all.

Jun Qiyan didn't have the strength to continue walking. She didn't know why, but she felt that the way out of the forest was many times longer than the one she had come from. No matter how long she walked, she still couldn't see the end of the forest.

Helpless, she could only hold on to the tree trunk with one hand as she turned around to check that there were no spirit beasts watching her from the shadows. Then she took a deep breath and followed God Mo Jiu's footsteps.

Even though Di Mo Jiu was walking right in front of Jun Qianyan, he was still aware of Jun Qianyan's small movements, but he just couldn't say it out loud. That frown on his face was enough to pinch the mosquitoes surrounding him to death.

Just because he was patient on the surface did not mean that he would be able to endure the bullying caused by Li Shu Ran.

No matter what, he would have to inform Saint Silkworm Origin Sentinel after he returned tonight.

Di Mo Jiu secretly planned something in his heart, but he suddenly heard Jun Qianyan's breathing get heavier and heavier behind him. In the end, he was still a bit worried. He quickly turned his head and saw that Jun Qianyan's complexion was paler than before; her eyes were misty, and she was even panting heavily.

Di Mo Jiu's heart tightened and subconsciously reached out to help Jun Qiyan.

"You're okay …"

Di Mo Jiu extended his hand to touch Jun Qianyan, but before he could finish his caring words, Jun Qianyan's half-closed eyes slowly closed. His feet staggered, and he was about to fall to the ground.

It was a good thing that Di Mo Jiu had already caught Jun Qianyan, otherwise this fall of hers would have made her face intimately touch the earth.

Di Mo Jiu's pupils constricted. He felt that it would be better to carry the unconscious Jun Qianyan all the way back, since it would save more effort by doing so. Thus, he simply carried her with his back to the room where the Saint Silkworm Master was.

The candle wick was shaken by the sudden gust of wind and almost went out.

The Saint Silkworm had been sitting quietly on the ground, resting with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes in shock, and when he looked up, it was Di Mo Jiu who had returned with Jun Feiyan in his arms.

"What's going on?"

At first, Saint Silkworm had wanted to ask the two why they returned to the wooden house at such an hour, but when he saw the bloodless face of Jun Qianyan in Di Mo Jiu's embrace and the large amount of blood on his body, he was frightened to the point of furrowing his brows.

"That's what he did when I got there."

Di Mo Jiu said those words expressionlessly, but his ice-cold voice was enough to let the Saint Silkworm understand the meaning behind his words.

The Saint Silkworm Master frowned as he stared at Di Mo Jiu. He was about to inquire about the details when Di Mo Jiu suddenly added, "None of the twenty beasts returned, but their cores are not with her."

"What did you say?"

Saint Silkworm's face was filled with fear. He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and asked in a low voice, "Was Mu Kui on the same team as Shu Ran back then?"

Di Mo nodded his head at 9 points and didn't deny it. He felt that since he had already said everything, he might as well not hide it anymore and continued, "Last time Miss Li acted recklessly and caused the devil to injure him. Luckily, his injuries were not serious and he did not pursue the matter. I'm afraid you have to give an explanation. "

The Saint Silkworm's pupils immediately contracted. So this was the reason for Yin Muda's previous injury!

"This is too much!"

He scolded angrily, "I only agreed to accept her as a disciple because of her father's kindness. I didn't expect her to hurt her fellow sect members many times and even steal their crystal cores to fool me! This is too much! "

"It's good that you know what you're doing."

Di Moyu placed Jun Qiyan flat on the ground so that the Saint Silkworm would be able to treat her wounds. As he slightly bent down, he said calmly, "I can endure this once, but I won't be able to endure this for the rest of my life. Last time I didn't say anything, but this time... "I'm afraid you need to go and talk to the Li family's master. Otherwise, the next time —"

"Next time?" "How is this possible!?"

Saint Silkworm stared at Di Mo Jiu with his eyes wide open. He shook his head while furiously blowing on his beard. He waved his hand and said to Di Mo Jiu, "I know my limits, so there's no need for you to worry …" Mo Du told me to heal him, so you should go back and rest. Tomorrow — I will give you an answer! "

"Thank you."

When Di Mo Jiu heard this, he knew that Saint Silkworm must have been unable to bear it any longer. He was determined to beat Li Shu Ran up, so he didn't say anything more, slightly nodded his head, said a few polite words, and stared at Jun Qiyan for a while before turning around and leaving.
