After seeing their faces clearly, Han Li secretly sighed. They were actually two disciples who, like him, only had cultivation technique at the eleventh layer. One had an aged face but with sly glints in his eyes, while the other looked simple and naive, clearly an inexperienced young man.
This strange pair seeking him out truly surprised Han Li. However, with a quick thought, he vaguely guessed their intentions.
"Fellow disciples, is there something you need?" Han Li said coldly out of politeness, but with an obvious tone that showed unwillingness to get close to anyone. He tried to make them retreat.
Obviously, this Senior Brother Xiang had much thicker skin than Han Li had imagined. Not only did he ignore Han Li's distant tone, but he also spoke enthusiastically as if they were old friends:
"Hehe, I wonder if Junior Brother Han has any good strategies for tomorrow's Forbidden Land expedition? You know, our three have the lowest magical power, and if we clash with other sects, we'll be the first to be eliminated! Why don't we all discuss it and come up with a plan?"
Upon hearing this, Han Li blinked several times without speaking, but he completely confirmed the other party's intentions and guessed what this person wanted to say eighty or ninety percent correctly.
It seemed this old fox intended to rally some disciples with low magical power to act and fight together, which would make it much safer and apparently increase the chances of survival.
But Han Li clearly understood the consequences of doing this - there were both benefits and drawbacks.
Because everyone would be concentrated together, the searchable area would be much smaller, resulting in very few spirit herbs being discovered. And even if they found some spirit herbs, it would still be hard to say who would end up owning them! Most likely, it would be determined by strength.
Han Li naturally had no interest in such an alliance. Not only would he not get any benefits, but there was also a high chance he would be used as cannon fodder by others.
As for this old fox, he probably didn't have good intentions either - his plan was definitely to fish in troubled waters, trying to gain advantages in the chaos.
When the elder saw that Han Li remained silent after his words, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious and said impatiently:
"I actually have an idea. I wonder if Junior Brother would like to hear it? It can definitely help everyone safely get through this expedition!"
The elder put on a mysterious expression, his face full of secrets, the wrinkles on his forehead squeezing together, making Han Li feel both angry and amused.
The young man beside him, however, seemed to greatly admire this old fox. Although he didn't say a word, he consistently showed an expression of following the elder's lead.
Since he would absolutely not join their alliance, Han Li didn't want to entangle any further, so he rejected them directly:
"Sorry! I'm not accustomed to acting with others, and I have no such plans this time. If you want to join forces with someone, you'd better find other fellow disciples!"
Han Li spoke very frankly and thoroughly.
He knew that only by showing he was not some inexperienced newcomer could he completely make the other party give up hope and stop pestering him. Otherwise, with so few fellow disciples here, this Senior Brother Xiang would likely persist with any target as long as there was even a slight possibility. Han Li didn't want to be bothered by this person continuously.
After hearing this, the elder named Xiang realized he had targeted the wrong person. The person before him looked very young but spoke with maturity and experience, clearly a seasoned hand who had weathered storms. He didn't say any more nonsense and left with a slightly disgruntled look.
From their direction, they were heading toward another disciple meditating on the rocks.
Han Li smiled slightly, turned back, and continued observing the notable fellow disciples. But this time he saw "Junior Sister Chen" standing with another ordinary-looking woman, with several guys who considered themselves handsome young talents gathered around them.
Han Li's mouth twitched several times. For some reason, those guys just didn't look pleasing to him no matter how he looked at them. Finally, he simply chose not to see them and found a secluded spot to close his eyes and rest.
就这样,到了第二天早上时候,所有弟子再次聚集在山顶上,有次序的站列好,等着其他仙派的到来。
这一等,就是数个时辰,可直到现在,还是一丝人影未见,这让韩立心中大骂不已,几乎要怀疑其他派之人是故意要如此做的,好能消耗黄枫谷众人的体力。
更让韩立心烦意乱的是,不知是否凑巧,在安排站立次序的时候,"陈师妹"正好站在了他的右手侧,其身上的那种熟悉的女人体香味,不时钻入他的鼻孔里,让他有些想入非非,似乎又回到了那极其香艳的一夜。
为了掩饰脸上的不自然,无奈之下,韩立低起了头,装成了局促不安的样子,可心里大为抱怨自己没出息,只不过是个漂亮点的女人而已,竟能让他如此的失态。
不过,韩立倒很佩服站在最前面的那位李师祖,他望着天空的姿势,竟然能维持这么长的时间都没有动弹分毫,就不知其是在神游天外,还是在思虑着什么!
突然,韩立感到周围的人一阵的骚动,似乎有什么事情发生了!
他忍不住,抬起了头。
四周的同门全都仰着脖子,向着一侧的天边望去,韩立也顺着目光望去。
只见蔚蓝的天空上,出现了几点星星样的光芒闪烁,并渐渐的大了起来,片刻之后,就多出了一连串的黑点出来。
在黑点们的下方,银光闪动,似乎黑点们就是乘坐着这些星光,从天外而来。
看到此奇景,众人骚动的更厉害了。
"安静!你们成了什么样子了!这是清虚门的飞行法器——雪虹绫,不要大惊小怪,丢了我们的黄枫谷的脸面。"前面一位四肢粗短的中年管事,脸色一沉,回头训斥了几句。
这话果然管用,骚动立即平息了下来,当然小声的嘀咕,偶尔还是有的。
此时,黑点已经清晰了,是一个个身穿灰色道袍的修仙者,其中大部分都是真正道士,手持拂尘,头盘道髻。但也有几位仅衣衫是道袍,其余一切却完全是世俗的样子,看来是未出家的俗家子弟。
而韩立等人看清楚了,他们脚下的星辰,竟是一道白色无暇的虹桥,虹桥上银光点点,甚为耀眼,不知镶嵌着何物。
韩立正仔细观看之际,那白色虹桥已架载着清虚门的众人,降落到了山上,正落在黄枫谷等人的对面。
为首的一位中年道士,用手轻轻一招,然后白光一闪,雪虹绫所化的虹桥消失不见了,只是对方的手中,多了一件锦缎状的物品。
"没想到这次又是李施主带队,贫道浮云子有礼了!"这道士,几步走到了李师祖的面前,满面春风的说道,听那口气,似乎还是熟人。
"哼!你这个牛鼻子能来,李某人就不能来了吗?"李师祖双手一背,不客气的说道。
"嘿嘿,在各自门内,就你我进入结丹期最晚,这跑腿的工作,我们不做谁又去做。"道士毫不在意,把拂尘一甩,脸上的笑容不变。
"你这牛鼻子诡计多端,上次可坑苦了我,这次别想再来这一套!"
"李施主这是什么话,认赌服输是天经地义的事,哪有什么谁坑谁啊?"道士打了个哈哈!
李师祖闻言,双目寒光一闪,似乎想要发怒,但随即想到了什么,气势又回落了下来,满是不甘的说道:
"我那块铁精,炼入到了你的青钧剑,让它威力又大了一分吧!李某辛苦了十来年,就提炼出了这么一块,还便宜了你这牛鼻子!"
他的话里,酸意十足,显然对那所谓的铁精,大感心痛。
"哈哈,原来大名鼎鼎的李仙师,竟对区区一点铁精也会如此上心!好吧,这次我带来了另一件东西,绝对在那铁精之上,只要这次的赌局赢了,足可以弥补你上次的损失。"道士手捻胡须,笑吟吟的说道。,等着其他仙派的到来。
