Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

He handed the fish to Feng Yaoshan without any fuss. Qin Xiao looked at him, still a little puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Feng Yaoshan asked when he saw Qin Xiao staring at him.

"What's the meaning of this?" Qin Xiao asked. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was understood.

Feng Yaoshan seemed a little puzzled: "Do you think this is troublesome?"

"It's a very simple thing." Qin Xiao said, "I have had a lot of experience before this."

“Is it easy?” Feng Yaoshan smiled. “That’s true, but catching something is different from just killing it. If I give you a fish, and if you actually go to the river to catch a fish, the level of trouble is different. To survive in the mountains, having the ability to kill prey is just the most basic thing, isn’t it?”

Qin Xiao didn't say anything else and nodded.

When I was about to leave, I ran into a boy with the number 2 on his name tag.

Qin Xiao brushed past him, paused when he missed him, and looked back at him.

He remembered...the child's name was Tian Miao.

Tian Miao's face was expressionless, he stared straight ahead with innocent eyes. Beside him was a ball of blue liquid suspended in the air, a closer look revealed that it was a stream of water stained with the color of Qi.

A red carp is swimming in the water, still alive.

"Water..." Qin Xiao just opened his mouth and his voice was clearly transmitted into Mo Hanyu's ears.

Mo Hanyu also glanced at Tian Miao and said nothing.

Qin Xiao looked at him again.

He sensed something strange from the aura emanating from this child.

"His attributes are somewhat special." Mo Hanyu said softly. He saw what Qin Xiao was thinking.

Qin Xiao did not reply immediately. He turned around thoughtfully and was about to ask Mo Hanyu something when he was interrupted.

"99."

Mo Hanyu frowned slightly and looked towards the source of the sound.

Qin Xiao turned his head and saw No. 11, with whom he had had a conflict before, walking towards them.

11 They kept their promise that day, and they really didn't come to see them during this period.

When Qiu Puryue saw them, she immediately frowned.

Qin Xiao...

Qin Xiao forgot about them.

Seeing No. 11 and a few others walking towards him with a smile, Qin Xiao was silent for a moment and asked, "Who are you...?"

11 seemed not to have expected him to answer like this, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

"We had a small misunderstanding before." 11 forced a smile and said lightly, "I want to reconcile with you now, is that okay?"

Qin Xiao:?

Qin Xiao didn't understand: "Did we have a grudge against each other?"

11: "…It's not really a grudge…it's just——"

Qin Xiao: "Then why do we need to reconcile?"

11: "Wasn't there some small misunderstanding before——"

Qin Xiao: "What misunderstanding?"

11: "That misunderstanding is not worth mentioning——"

Qin Xiao: "Then why do we need to reconcile?"

11: ...

11 couldn't keep the smile on his face anymore.

Qin Xiao was still confused and looked at her in confusion.

When Qiu Puryue saw 11's look, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and immediately reacted by using Yin Xihui to block it.

She didn't like No. 11. When she wanted to make friends with them, No. 9 and No. 4 repeatedly provoked her and even did some excessive things. Every time she wanted to get angry, No. 11 would just brush it off with a few words, as if she was being arrogant if she continued to argue...

Now seeing 11's frustrated look, she felt very happy.

Seeing that 11 didn't speak, Qin Xiao asked directly: "Why don't you speak?"

11: ...

11 licked the corner of his mouth and was about to say something when No. 9 interrupted him.

"Do I need to ask? Of course there's something wrong with what you said!"

No. 9 looked at Qin Xiao with her slender eyebrows furrowed. Although she was pinching her waist, looking at her smart and cute appearance, she would not be considered as spoiled. Instead, people would unconsciously rely on her and be tolerant of her.

Qin Xiao glanced at her, his expression unchanged: "What's the problem?"

Number 9 raised his chin and said matter-of-factly: "Need I say more? She has already said that we had some friction with someone, but now we want to make peace with you, so we want to ask you -"

When he mentioned "someone", he obviously emphasized his tone and glanced at Qiu Puyue meaningfully.

"So... why do we have to make peace?" Qin Xiao was still confused and didn't give any face. "Did we have a good relationship with you before?"

When No. 9 heard his straightforward question, his face froze for a moment.

Qin Xiao was afraid that they didn't understand what he meant, so he repeated it again: "Before we had a grudge, did we have a good relationship?"

11: "It's not a grudge..."

"So the relationship is just like that." Qin Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "Then why do you want to reconcile?"

No matter how precocious 11 was, she was only a 6-year-old child, and she had never encountered anyone asking her such a question. In this situation, she inevitably felt embarrassed, but these people were still watching, so she could only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm while communicating with Qin Xiao.

"Yes...I used the wrong word." 11 blushed and said stiffly, "So what I mean is that there is no need for us to become enemies. It's just...we want to have a competition with you, is that okay?"

"Train?" Before Qin Xiao could speak, Mo Hanyu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "You want to compete with us..."

“No, that’s not it…” 11 waved his hands quickly, “It’s the kind that doesn’t use attributes, only physical skills…”

"Why?" Qin Xiao pressed Mo Hanyu's shoulder and interrupted him.

Mo Hanyu slapped Qin Xiao's hand away, glanced at him, and walked to Yin Xihui's side.

11: "What?"

Qin Xiao looked at her: "I mean, why should we spar with you?"

No. 9 couldn't help but said, "Why so many questions? I just want to try it, right? Are you afraid?"

Qin Xiao ignored her and continued to stare at No. 11.

11 was silent for a moment, then sighed and said honestly, "We have already competed among ourselves, but we didn't know how much difference we would have with the boys, so we thought of trying it out with the boys' group... Actually, we also looked for other groups and competed with them. We basically won all of them, except for you guys."

Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally looked at her straight in the eye.

Although there was no change in his expression or posture, 11 still felt the crisis in an instant.

An inexplicable and irrational fear suddenly rose in her heart. The aura of the person in front of her was completely different from the cold and aloof one before. It was like a ferocious beast in human skin, slowly looking at and sniffing her, assessing her strength... as if he would pounce on her and tear her apart in the next second.

11 frowned, not even realizing the cold sweat running down his forehead.

Qin Xiao didn't say anything and just looked at her in silence for a while.

"Wait a moment." Qin Xiao spoke, neither agreeing nor refusing, and turned to walk towards Yin Xihui and the others.

"Is there something wrong?" Mo Hanyu was just staring at No. 9 who looked like he was ready to take action at any time, and didn't pay attention to their conversation.

Yin Xihui was indecisive, and both sides noticed it. He looked at Qin Xiao straight in the eye: "What do you think?"

Qiu Puryue was only thinking about hiding behind Yin Xihui to avoid No. 4's gaze. She didn't think too much. After hearing the conversation between Yin Xihui and the others, she raised her eyes and looked at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao repeated what 11 had just said: "...What do you think?"

"What do you think?" Yin Xihui still looked at him.

"If what she said is true, I think we can give it a try." Qin Xiao said, "But even if she is not lying, we don't know whether their opponents are letting them win."

"What do you think?" Qin Xiao looked at Mo Hanyu.

Mo Hanyu glanced at him: "I'm fine with it, it doesn't matter."

Qiu Puyue also expressed her opinion: "Me too, it's all right."

Seeing that Yin Xihui hadn't spoken, Qin Xiao asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Yin Xihui raised his head, an unknown light flashing in his eyes: "It's very strange."

"What's strange?" Mo Hanyu looked at him.

"It sounds like these people, although they are divided into waves and groups, still communicate with each other." Yin Xihui crossed his arms, a little confused, "Why has no one ever communicated with us?"

"If what 11 said is true, then doesn't that mean that these small groups are not just internally bound, but also form alliances or communicate and cooperate with other small groups? But no one has come in the past few months. Isn't it strange?"

Yin Xihui frowned, as if he was really confused.

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, then said softly: "...Have you forgotten your reputation as an evil cultivator?"

Yin Xihui: ...

Yin Xihui: “Ah?”

Qiu Puyue said weakly, "...and the Corpse Binder."

Yin Xihui: “…”

Mo Hanyu glanced at him and said, "You said before that corpse binders are all crazy."

Yin Xihui: “…”

Qin Xiao: "To be precise, there are four of us in total, and you are the only one who is normal."

Yin Xihui: ...

Yin Xihui: ………………

Faced with the extremely sincere and self-aware words of these three people, Yin Xihui fell into deep thought.

It’s no wonder that Yin Xihui forgot their identities, they behaved so normally.

It does not fit the world's impression of evil practitioners at all.

Yin Xihui said with difficulty: "...then they also--"

Qin Xiao said slowly: "Mo Hanyu offended a group of people the day he arrived."

Mo Hanyu glanced at him and said, "Qin Xiao broke a man's index finger that day."

Yin Xihui: ...

Qin Xiao was still a little surprised: "Have you forgotten why you were interested in us in the first place?"

Yin Xihui: ...

Qiu Puyue was surprised: "You like it?"

Yin Xihui: “Ahem——”

Yin Xihui blocked Qiu Puryue's curious gaze and coughed twice calmly: "Okay, okay, let's not discuss this topic anymore. In the end, do you agree or not?"

Qin Xiao: "...Change the subject?"

Yin Xihui didn't blush at all: "I just thought about it, isn't this strange?"

Qin Xiao looked at Yin Xihui, whose expression remained unchanged, and felt that 11's facial expression management was still a little poor.

Qin Xiao didn't think too much about it, and just said lightly: "You are the only one who didn't express his opinion."

Yin Xihui: ...

Yin Xihui remained calm: "Really? Then what do you all say?"

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao had no choice but to repeat: "I want to agree, Mo Hanyu and she don't care."

Yin Xihui looked at Qiu Puryue beside him, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "I think so too. After all, it won't hurt to fight with more people and gain experience."

In that case, Qin Xiao looked at Mo Hanyu and Qiu Puyue, and seeing that they had no objection, he went to talk to 11.

I don’t know what 11 said to the others just now, but when they heard Qin Xiao and the others agreed, they actually showed surprised expressions, as if they found their agreement incredible.

"So how do you want to fight? One-on-one or taking turns?" Qin Xiao looked at her.

11 didn't expect Qin Xiao to give her the right to choose. After a moment's hesitation, she made a decision: "Here's what I was thinking. Can everyone fight once? That would be better."
