Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266

Unconsciously, Su Chen also fell asleep.

In such an environment, even when asleep, Su Chen would maintain a certain level of vigilance, a habit developed over a long time.

Unless he's at home, beside his women, only then would he let down all his defenses!

After sleeping for a few hours, Su Chen opened his eyes at dawn and continued on his journey...

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Dark Forest, a grand procession was advancing, seemingly searching for something.

The group was clearly not from a single faction, but rather a combination of several, yet everyone centered around a particular youth!

Standing among them, he was naturally the focal point!

However, at this moment, his face was gloomy as water, seemingly about to erupt at any moment!

"Did you really see that kid with Miss Qin?"

He asked as he walked.

"Yes, at a glance, their relationship looked unusual!"

"I saw them too, they were holding hands!"

"What? I saw them kissing in a secluded place!"

"You're making a fuss, I saw them entering a cave together a few days ago!"

Upon hearing the youth's question, those around him immediately responded, some even vividly describing what they saw!

The young man's originally handsome face turned as black as charcoal upon hearing these words!

Especially the one who mentioned entering the cave, though they didn't say what they did inside, the human imagination is vast, the less said, the more boundless the speculation!

For example, a man and a woman alone in a cave, what exactly were they doing?

He had heard many people along the way talking about Qin Nishang being with a strange man; at first, he could endure it, but as the rumors grew more exaggerated, he couldn't hold back anymore!

Thus, he decided to personally find this kid for a confrontation, Qin Nishang was his forbidden treasure, no one could touch her!

Now that Qin Nishang was so close to a stranger, how could he bear it?!

So he intended to find that man and kill him in front of everyone!

Those following behind the youth, seeing his aggressive demeanor, roughly guessed the reason, thus joining the group, ready for a good show!

Although no one had seen Su Chen in the past couple of days, prior to that, when he and Qin Nishang were "walking" in the Dark Forest, several factions had seen them and knew roughly where they were!

Su Chen was unaware that he had been targeted; at the moment, he was again slaying demon beasts in the Dark Forest!

Just then, Su Chen heard some commotion ahead, and immediately saw a demon beast resembling a lion sprinting wildly not far from him!

Of course, Su Chen was heading north, while the lion was fleeing from east to west!

"A third-tier demon beast?!"

Su Chen's eyes lit up upon seeing the beast!

However, he didn't move because he soon saw a man dressed in green following closely behind the beast, his movements as graceful as a startled swan, clothes fluttering, looking very dapper!

The man in green suddenly let go of his long sword, which shot straight towards the lion!

The lion demon beast tried to escape, but it was too late; the long sword pierced right through its body!

Seeing this scene, Su Chen couldn't help but curl his lip.

In his view, the green-robed man's graceful actions seemed more like acting in a movie, giving him only one impression—showy, as if afraid to dirty his clothes!

If Yunlong were here, he'd definitely snarkily say—Don't pretend, pretending will get you struck by lightning!

Of course, this was just a random thought of Su Chen!

After all, they were strangers, how the man acted was none of his business.

However, Su Chen was somewhat impressed by the other's strength, no matter what, being able to take down a third-tier demon beast with a single sword strike certainly required notable skill!

Of course, Su Chen could naturally achieve the same!

The man seemed to have noticed Su Chen as well, but merely glanced at him and looked away!

Su Chen felt as though this man didn't see him at all, it was a strange feeling, as if he was invisible!

Along his journey, he had seen many people from top factions, though most were quite proud, this person had an air of looking at others as if they were ants!

Subsequently, the man walked over and retrieved the demon core from the lion demon beast; although it was a third-tier demon core, Su Chen had no intention of seizing it!

While this was common in the Dark Forest, there were some things Su Chen simply couldn't bring himself to do.

After retrieving the demon core, the man in green left without a backward glance at Su Chen.

Su Chen continued forward, slaying demon beasts along the way!

Unknowingly, a few more hours passed; during this time, Su Chen only encountered three demon beasts: two first-tier and one second-tier!

Of course, Su Chen effortlessly dealt with them, then collected their demon cores...

A few hours earlier, somewhere in the Dark Forest.

"Miss, there's something I've been contemplating and feel it's necessary to tell you."

The Qin family member named Qin Hui spoke to Qin Nishang.

Qin Nishang looked at him and asked:

"The Young Sect Master of the Wuji Sect, Chu Yuntian, may cause trouble for your friend."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nishang's face showed a hint of impatience.

"Miss, you mean you don't know?"

Another person couldn't help but say.

Qin Nishang was even more puzzled upon hearing this.

"It's about you and a stranger being together; it's spread throughout the Dark Forest now, and some say..."

Another Qin family member chimed in, but he hesitated to continue after glancing at Qin Nishang! Latest content publıshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Qin Nishang's expression changed as she asked.

"They say, you held hands... kissed... were being intimate... things like that..."

The man said in a small voice.

Upon hearing this, a line appeared across Qin Nishang's forehead in disbelief!

They were merely traveling together, how did the rumors twist it into this?

Of course, except for that small incident in the cave...

"Miss, actually, we rushed over here because we heard those rumors."

Qin Hui said naively:

"I think Chu Yuntian will inevitably hear about this too, and by then..."

Qin Nishang understood Qin Hui's meaning and indeed, knowing the nature of the Young Sect Master of the Wuji Sect, he wasn't likely to spare Su Chen!

Because she knew Chu Yuntian's feelings towards her, it was just that she didn't feel anything in return...
