Wu Qianwen then happily said in her heart:
"My na is Wu Qianwen, you can just call Wen Er. Nice to et you, we can travel together from now on."
At this mont, Tong Xie heard Wu Qianwen's words and couldn't help but pause in surprise. He obviously didn't expect the other party to be so forward and even interested in him, which made him inwardly delighted, feeling as if they were long-lost friends.
Seeing Wu Qianwen and Tong Xie together, Ding Fan couldn't shake off a bad feeling. Tong Xie was clearly not a good person, and if Wu Qianwen got too close to him, it wouldn't do her any good. However, Ding Fan knew that Wu Qianwen didn't particularly warm up to him either, so even if he wanted to warn her, it wouldn't have any effect.
Moreover, this was just Ding Fan's current guess, as these two had just begun their acquaintance.
Soon, Ding Fan had already finished dealing with the Ferocious Tiger and walked over to Wu Qianwen and the others. Tong Xie and Wu Qianwen were happily chatting away. Tong Xie was trying various ways to make Wu Qianwen laugh, and Wu Qianwen, blushing, was playfully responding to him.
At this mont, Tong Xie saw Ding Fan, and although his eyes briefly expressed disdain, he quickly hid it, and then spoke seemingly politely to Ding Fan:
"Hello, brother. Since we're all heading to Lan City, why don't we travel together?"
Just as Ding Fan was about to refuse, Wu Qianwen suddenly said:
"Ding Fan, let's travel with them. After all, we're going the sa way, and with more people, we'll have more cover. You encountered a Sixth Grade Ferocious Tiger this ti, but next ti, there could be an even more formidable Yuan Beast. Traveling together gives us more protection, even against powerful Yuan Beasts."
Hearing her words, Ding Fan felt a bit troubled. Clearly, it seed Wu Qianwen wanted to go with them. Although Ding Fan didn't want to travel with them, he had promised Wu Zun. It was evident that letting Wu Qianwen travel alone with Tong Xie would be very dangerous for her, even if right now Tong Xie appeared fine.
But Ding Fan knew that Tong Xie wasn't that kind of person, and was rely putting on an act.
Ding Fan then looked at Chai Er, obviously seeking her opinion. Seeing Ding Fan's glance, Chai Er continued:
"I think sister has a point."
Chai Er said, feeling a bit distressed, realizing that Ding Fan was unwilling to travel with them. However, her own sister was suddenly quite taken with Tong Xie. Chai Er understood her sister well enough to know that once she liked a cultivator, she wouldn't easily give up. Thus, they had no choice but to go along with her sister. Leaving her sister alone here certainly wouldn't sit well with her either.
Although Chai Er had no issues with Tong Xie, she was still worried about her sister, so she said that in hopes Ding Fan would agree.
"Alright then, let's go!"
Upon hearing Chai Er's words, Ding Fan agreed reluctantly.
Clearly, Ding Fan completely disagreed with Wu Qianwen's statent. If they really encountered a Yuan Beast even he couldn't handle, there's no way this caravan could either. After all, Ding Fan had not yet t a cultivator stronger than himself, and even with the Clothed Elder, Ding Fan believed the elder's power didn't surpass his own.
Tong Xie, upon hearing Ding Fan's words, lightly instructed the cultivators behind him:
"Prepare a few horses for these friends, let's travel together."
After saying this with a cold expression, Tong Xie continued to chat and laugh with Wu Qianwen, clearly not considering Ding Fan at all. In Tong Xie's eyes, Ding Fan was just a cultivator below the Nascent Soul Stage, utterly incomparable to himself. Naturally, he was most interested in these two beauties. He noticed that Chai Er wasn't particularly interested in him, but Wu Qianwen was very enthusiastic. Tong Xie believed it wouldn't take long for him to win her over!
Thinking of this, Tong Xie gave a sinister smirk in his heart but outwardly wore a polite smile. Wu Qianwen, looking at him, found him to be her ideal man in every way.
In this situation, Ding Fan could only turn a blind eye. Clearly, Wu Qianwen had her own freedom to do as she pleased. However, he should find a ti to remind her, but if she was unwilling to listen, there wasn't much he could do. Obviously, he had done everything he could. Following this, Ding Fan and Chai Er boarded a carriage, and everyone started moving.
At this ti, the Clothed Elder within the caravan looked in Ding Fan's direction, his brows furrowing slightly. Clearly, the Elder found it puzzling that Ding Fan's cultivation seed to not even reach the Nascent Soul Stage, yet a Sixth Grade Ferocious Tiger had died by his hand—it was simply too bizarre. The Elder knew that even with his own cultivation, slaying this Sixth Grade Ferocious Tiger was far from easy. Clearly, it was quite odd!
But the Elder quickly let it go. No matter how odd Ding Fan appeared, he had no reason to worry. After all, he was only one step away from the Divided Spirit Stage, clearly far above most cultivators. Furthermore, the Elder knew the Young Master was only interested in the two daughters, making Ding Fan inconsequential.
Additionally, the Elder noticed that Ding Fan seed not to have a husband-wife relationship with the two won, so there was nothing to worry about...
Afterward, Ding Fan and his companions continued traveling with the caravan. Ding Fan, Chai Er, and Wu Qianwen initially walked together, but not long after, Ding Fan took advantage of the scattered resting ti to approach Wu Qianwen.
Seeing Ding Fan approaching, Wu Qianwen was taken aback, not expecting him to seek her out at this ti. Wu Qianwen found it slightly amusing; although she initially didn't think much of Ding Lin, he seed not to exhibit much interest in her either, making her feel quite relaxed during the journey.
For Wu Qianwen, clearly, she would be very proactive with n she liked, even seeking them out actively. But with n she disliked, she was notably annoyed. Wu Qianwen found it strange herself that she was quite clear in her heart—she definitely didn't like Ding Fan, and he would never be her future partner.
Yet Ding Lin didn't seem as repulsive to her, especially when Ding Fan slew the Sixth Grade Yuan Beast, she found herself sowhat worried for him. She had to admit that Ding Fan was handso and quite powerful, traits that most won would have no reason to dislike. But she valued n's power and wealth the most, not those traits. Clearly, she couldn't favor a cultivator without power or money!
Therefore, in this aspect, Ding Fan did not satisfy Wu Qianwen's criteria, but she could tell that Ding Fan wasn't particularly interested in her either. Although her sister seed to like Ding Fan, Ding Fan appeared indifferent to her, which annoyed Wu Qianwen!
For Wu Qianwen, she clearly preferred soone like Tong Xie, not only handso but with decent cultivation. More importantly, he was a direct descendant of the Tong Family, offering a promising future. Far superior to Ding Fan.
But Wu Qianwen didn't expect Ding Fan to seek her out at this mont, finding it amusing. Could it be Ding Fan was envious and jealous of her eting her true love and ca to tell her he liked her too? Wu Qianwen looked at Ding Fan with a disdainful expression, asking:
"Is there sothing you need?"
Seeing her expression, Ding Fan felt a bit clueless but didn't mind. He directly said to Wu Qianwen:
"I wanted to remind you, Tong Xie isn't as he seems. Be more cautious."
After saying this, Ding Fan didn't wait for a response and left imdiately. Clearly, for Ding Fan, it was enough just to give the warning. Whether she listened or not was none of his concern!
Wu Qianwen was surprised by Ding Fan's abrupt departure after saying just those words! Her heart filled with anger, but since Tong Xie was nearby and for the sake of her image, Wu Qianwen chose to endure, dismissing his words like a fart!
Warn that Tong Xie is no good, how absurd!
If Tong Xie isn't good, does that an you, Ding Fan, are?
Wu Qianwen watched Ding Fan's departing figure with contempt and anger, not taking his words seriously at all. Her heart was only filled with thoughts of Tong Xie.
After everyone finished resting, they resud their travel. Clearly, Wu Qianwen not only disliked Ding Fan now but was annoyed by him. So, after walking with Ding Fan and Chai Er for a while, she went directly to Tong Xie's side, and the two rode a chestnut-colored horse side-by-side, laughing and chatting rrily. Yet Tong Xie's gaze occasionally showed a trace of vulgar intent.
Tong Xie hid it well, and Wu Qianwen didn't notice, taking his gaze as one of affection.
Seeing this scene, Ding Fan and Chai Er no longer paid attention to them, clearly realizing it was a waste of ti. Instead, they focused on refining and perceiving the "Wind-like Sword Technique," which was more important. Ding Fan realized Tong Xie was skilled in seducing won, and Wu Qianwen was deeply drawn to him—others' words couldn't compare to Tong Xie's gaze.
Chai Er was also worried about her sister's safety; she too felt Tong Xie seed different—too seductive...
