Chapter 207 - Eldest Senior Brother’s Doubts, Hiding His Achievements and Fame

When she met Gu Xi’s deep eyes, Fang Qinyu’s heart was extremely complicated. Her heart suddenly beat faster, and her cheeks burned up for some reason.

She stammered, “I...”

Before Fang Qinyu could say anything, the disciples of the Moyu Tower surrounded her. They immediately squeezed Gu Xi behind them, and they could no longer see his face clearly.

“Junior Sister Fang, are you alright? That was really close. We were scared to death.”

“Junior Sister Fang, you were too amazing just now. How did you discover the Demon Bear’s weakness and even gave it a fatal blow? This time, you really impressed us.”

After all, Fang Qinyu rarely left the sect, let alone a battle like this. It was almost the first time, but the result was out of everyone’s expectations.

If Fang Qinyu had not found an opportunity and discovered the Demon Bear’s weakness, they would have to fight for a long time and spend a lot of effort to defeat the Demon Bear.

“Actually, it’s not... It’s because...”

Fang Qinyu subconsciously looked in Gu Xi’s direction.

At that time, she did not know what had happened to her. She only knew to listen to Gu Xi and then pick up the sword. Because she was too afraid, she even closed her eyes, not knowing what happened next.

When she opened her eyes again, the sword in her hand had already flown out, dealing a heavy blow to the Demon Bear. She vaguely felt that this matter was related to Gu Xi.

However, wasn’t he a heavily injured ordinary person who had lost all his cultivation? How could it be...

Fang Qinyu could not figure it out no matter what. Gu Xi seemed to know what she wanted to say. He shook her head slightly. At that moment, Fang Qinyu instantly understood what he meant.

“Why, Junior Sister Fang? Why aren’t you saying anything? Why did you stop halfway?” Everyone was still waiting for Fang Qinyu to speak, but they realized that she had not spoken for a long time.

“It’s because Senior Brother and Senior Sister had already caused a lot of damage to the Demon Bear. I was just taking advantage of the situation. I thought that the Demon Bear didn’t have scales on its chest, so I wanted to give it a try–”

“Junior Sister Fang, you’re too modest. This time, you should have taken the credit. Master will be very pleased when we get back.”

While everyone was complimenting her, only Eldest Senior Brother noticed Fang Qinyu’s strange behavior. He followed her gaze and saw Gu Xi with her head lowered, her shoulders trembling violently.

“Cough, cough, cough–”

A sudden cough sounded, especially obvious.

Everyone looked over and saw Gu Xi’s pale face. He must have been quite frightened just now.

Zhou Haozhe immediately said sarcastically, “Not even as good as a woman. At any rate, Junior Sister still knows how to pick up a sword and fight back. Such a big man actually hid behind a woman.”

There was more than one person who had the same thoughts as him. They all had looks of disdain on their faces. They completely forgot that it was Gu Xi who had pulled Fang Qinyu back from the Demon Bear in the beginning.

“That’s right. You’re still so scared now. Aren’t you a little too timid?”

Who would have thought that Fang Qinyu’s expression would change? She pushed aside the people around her and quickly came to Gu Xi’s side. With a caring expression, she said, “Are you alright? Are you alright?”

Gu Xi shook his head and suppressed the blood in his throat. “I’m fine.”

He had not expected that he would suffer such a powerful backlash just by borrowing a little bit of the power of the Black Soul Sword. It seemed that he could not use his spiritual power for a short period of time. Otherwise, it would cause irreparable damage.

However, the situation was too dangerous at that time, so he could not care too much, so he borrowed Fang Qinyu’s hand.

Gu Xi’s voice were so weak that it was as if he was going to die in the next second, which made everyone look at him with even more disdain.

Especially Zhou Haozhe, who so angry that he clenched his fists. What did this man do to be able to receive such care from Fang Qinyu?

“He’s just a little good-looking. He’s just a shell of a person. He’s just a flower. He’s just a facade. He can’t do anything when he’s faced with any sort of challenge.”

Hearing Zhou Haozhe say this about Gu Xi, Fang Qinyu was finally angry. “Senior Brother Zhou, please watch your words.”

One had to know that Fang Qinyu was really cute. She had a gentle personality. She was a Junior Sister that everyone doted on and took care of. She had never blushed with anyone before. This was the first time she had spoken like this.

Zhou Haozhe closed his mouth unwillingly. His gaze towards Gu Xi was filled with gloom. He could not help but complain to his fellow disciples around him, “What kind of bewitching potion did this kid give Junior Sister Fang to protect him so much? She doesn’t even care about the friendship between fellow disciples. This kid is simply a burden. He will only be a hindrance.”

The people of Moyu Tower also had a headache. If it was not for Fang Qinyu’s insistence, they definitely would not have brought this man along.

“You know Junior Sister Fang’s character. No one can waver in her decision. Just like this trip down the mountain, didn’t the Sect Master agree to her participation in the end?”

“Forget it, let’s follow Junior Sister. As long as she’s happy, it’s fine.”

Zhou Haozhe saw the situation and did not say anything else. His eyes flickered with an unknown light.

The people of Moyu Tower quickly took out the inner core of the Demon Bear, but the fur still needed some time to be treated.

Eldest Senior Brother looked at the huge corpse of the Demon Bear, or more accurately, the sword wound on its chest. He could not help but fall into deep thought, so much so that he did not even notice when Li Qing came over.

“Eldest Senior Brother, what are you thinking so deeply about?”

“Look at this sword wound. It’s extremely sharp and penetrates its defenses. Otherwise, the Violent Demon Bear wouldn’t have panicked and been defeated by us. Junior Sister Fang’s words are really too modest.”

The Demon Bear’s defense was extremely high. The damage they had caused previously was not very significant. This was still the fatal wound.

After hearing what he said, Li Qing discovered some clues. He observed the wound and seemed to be able to feel the sharp Sword Intent that had not dissipated.

Li Qing subconsciously shivered. This kind of Sword Qi was truly terrifying. It did not seem like a move that the delicate and gentle Fang Qinyu could use.
