"What? Am I wrong? Do you think that I don't know you are approaching me just because of my father?" Xie Linna said sarcastically.

Wu Xiaomei shook her head, her eyes slightly red, "Linna, we don't..."

"I don't care what you think. If you don't catch that boy now, you can just wait to be kicked out of Fenghua College!" Xie Linna didn't bother to pretend anymore since they had already turned against each other.

Lin Nan's face darkened. He was staring at Xie Linna coldly, thinking that they were driven to the last ditch.

Xie Linna was a little frightened by Lin Nan's stare. Lin Nan was the one with the highest level in their team, and the teachers of Fenghua College thought highly of him, so they focused on training him. Of course, Xie Linna only knew this from her father. Because of this, she had been restraining her temper as a superior girl. But when she thought of her father, she raised her chin again. "What are you looking at?" No matter how high his level was, he was still a pauper without any powerful background.

"Are you sure you want to kick us out of Fenghua College?" Lin Nan asked coldly.

At this time, Xie Linna was agitated when being asked. They looked at her as if she had done something terribly wrong. Wasn't it normal for her to do this? They could only blame themselves for not being born into a decent family. Those with low status should be humble.

"Don't worry, as long as you catch him, you won't be kicked out." Her tone sounded like she was being incredibly kind.

The rest of the people couldn't help but be enraged. Wu Xiaomei also let go of her hand that was holding Xie Linna, feeling disheartened.

Murong Xue and Xiaobai were watching them with pleasure not far away.

"It seems that they are turning against each other. Now it's fun." Xiaobai said, hoping that the situation could get even tenser.

Murong Xue gently stroked its fur. She had seen such things many times. Although the world was different, the nature of people was still the same. No matter which world they were in, there were always some shameless people.

"With a student like you, I'm ashamed of Fenghua College. With a mentor like your father, I'll be glad to leave Fenghua College!" Lin Nan said coldly, and then he turned to face the other three and asked, "What about you?"

Zhao Qi and the others looked at each other and then seemed to have made up their minds. "We'll go wherever you go!"

"In the future, we may encounter so much hardship. Are you afraid?" Lin Nan asked again. It was likely that they would die because of it. However, compared to being banned, he was not willing to be someone else's flunky. He wanted to die with dignity.

"Captain, I'm not afraid!" Even Wu Xiaomei who was the most cowardly one in the team said firmly.

"Okay! Let's fight together hand in hand!" The captain held out his hand.

The rest of the people joined them one after another. "Never back down!"

Xie Linna's face suddenly became a little distorted. "How dare you?" She seemed to feel that the wound was even more painful because of anger. "Aren't you afraid of being banned?" She couldn't believe it. How dare they not listen to her? She clenched her fists and stared fiercely at these people.

Lin Nan sneered, "Don't worry about it, Miss Xie. You should worry about how you can go back later." Even the periphery of the Death Forest would be dangerous. It was fine if she only encountered spirit beasts of Level 4. She would be slightly injured at most. With Xie Linna's cultivation level, she could still get rid of them. If she encountered the Level 5 spirit beasts, she might have no chance to survive. They just spent so much effort to save her, which was a waste of time.

"You are digging your own grave! You must send me back." Xie Linna shouted angrily!

But they didn't pay attention to her.

Led by Lin Nan, the four people walked towards Murong Xue at the same time.

Murong Xue clenched the handle of Phoenix Sword and looked at them coldly, but at the next moment, the actions of Lin Nan and the others completely baffled her.

Lin Nan knelt down on one knee, held his right fist against his chest, and said firmly, "Master, please allow us to follow you!"

Seeing Lin Nan's actions, Zhao Qi and others also knelt down on one knee and did the same as Lin Nan. They said in unison, "Please allow us to follow you!"

She heard the whole conversation among them just now. There was no denying that she admired their bravery, but it did not mean that she was willing to attract trouble. Her expression was still cold. "You seem to have caused big trouble. You're only saying that you want to follow me because you want me to protect you." That was what she thought. She was not a fool.

However, Lin Nan didn't explain but asked instead, "May I have your name please?"

"Mu Tian!" Thinking that she was currently disguised as a man, Murong Xue gave a fake name.

When Lin Nan heard this, he bit his finger and took an oath with his blood, "I, Lin Nan, will be a knight of Mu Tian in this life. I am willing to clear his path for him and never betray him. If I break my oath, I'll die miserably!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew something in the air, and a star lit up on the ground with Lin Nan as the center. The oath took effect!

"This..." Murong Xue glanced at Xiaobai.

"He has sworn to you that he will be your knight in this life. He must ensure your safety all the time and he must not go against you. Otherwise, he will be wiped out if he has this thought." Even Xiaobai didn't expect Lin Nan to take an oath to Murong Xue, but Murong Xue gave him a fake name. In fact, this oath was not effective, but Lin Nan didn't know it at all.

After listening to Xiaobai's words, Murong Xue wore a complicated expression. It meant that they were tying herself with them forcibly. A trace of displeasure flashed on her face. The reason why she came to this world was to find her parents, and she didn't want to cause too much trouble.

"Master, I didn't take the oath to seek protection. I just want to be your strong backup. Now not only we but you also have become a thorn in Xie Linna’s flesh. Even without us, Xie Linna will definitely use her father's power to destroy you when she gets back."

Murong Xue's eyes turned cold, "Fine. I'll kill her now!" It was true that she should solve the problem once and for all. Since Xie Linna wouldn't let her go, she could only choose to get rid of this trouble.

She lifted her sword, walking to Xie Linna.

"Wait, Master, she has the life-saving Soul Connection that her father gave her. If you kill her, then the scene of you killing her will be transmitted back to her father. In this way, you will not only offend her father, but you will be the enemy of the entire Fenghua College. Fenghua College now has three experts who reach the ninth stage of purple-level. It is not a wise move to offend the entire Fenghua College!" Lin Nan hurriedly stood in front of Murong Xue, saying in a low voice.

Murong Xue thought to herself, "D*mn, there are actually such powerful things in this world, which is comparable to high-tech surveillance." She stopped in frustration. She felt as if the girl had been jumping on her constantly like a small ant, but she was annoyed that she couldn't get rid of her.

There was one more thing that Lin Nan didn't tell her, which was Fenghua College might have to let it go if they were intimidated by a person at purple-level. Perhaps Murong Xue didn't need to worry about that if she reached purple-level.

From Lin Nan's point of view, it would be remarkable if Murong Xue was at blue-level. He estimated that he only reached the beginning stage of blue-level at most. Each level was divided into 9 stages. The higher the level was, the more difficult it was for one to ascend. It took one an extremely long time to reach each level. As he could see, he bet that Murong Xue was only a boy in his twenties. Generally, if people could reach purple-level, they could maintain their current appearance without aging. However, they could only prevent themselves from getting old. But they weren't able to become younger. Hence, one would maintain his appearance when he just reached purple-level.

Therefore, he ruled out the possibility that Murong Xue was an old man and believed that Murong Xue was really about 20 years old.

"Why do you want to be my knight? It doesn't do you any good, does it?" Murong Xue asked in a cold voice.

Lin Nan got down on one knee, held Murong Xue's hand, and planted a light kiss on it, which was the highest level of the etiquette of the knight. "The moment you defeated the giant-tooth beast, you have conquered my heart as a strong man. I just want to follow you."

"And me!"

"And me!"

"And... And... And me!" Wu Xiaomei was timid by nature. Hence, she was so nervous that she stammered when she said this.

In the distance, Xie Linna was still shouting, "You b*st*rds, go to hell! I won't let you get away from this!" Although she had a healing pill, Xie Linna's injuries were not light. This was one of the reasons why she stayed where she was and didn't move forward. Another reason was that she was not Lin Nan's opponent. As for Murong Xue's move just now, she thought it was simply a coincidence.

However, everyone merely ignored her being hysterical.

Murong Xue took Lin Nan's hand and said, "I allow you to be my companions! But if I find out that someone does something to betray me, I will make you regret coming into this world!" The passion in their eyes touched her, which showed their inexplicable bravery.

The faces of Lin Nan and the others lit up, "Yes, Master!"

Murong Xue's face softened a little. "Don't call me Master. I'm about the same age as you. Just call me Mu Tian."

Seeing that their Master was easier to get along with than they imagined, they smiled, "Okay, Master Mu Tian."

Murong Xue rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go!"

"Wait a minute. Master... Mu Tian!" Lin Nan shouted.

Murong Xue stopped and looked at him in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"Each part of the giant-tooth beast's body is a treasure. It's a pity to throw it away like this. Please wait here for a while. We'll pack it up." Lin Nan explained.

Murong Xue nodded.

They immediately walked to the side of the large giant-tooth beast with joy and began to work. First, they peeled off the hard leather of the giant-tooth beast. Then, the two sharp horns of the beast were also carefully cut by them, which were carefully put into a fresh-keeping box. Even the flesh of the beast was cut into pieces and stored in the spatial bag.

"It seems that you are quite lucky. These people are not bad. Maybe they can be a big help for you." Xiaobai, who had not spoken from beginning to end, suddenly said at this time.

"You also know why I came to this world. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of them by then." Murong Xue said while looking at the few people in the distance.

Xiaobai curled his lips and said, "They don't need you to take care of them. In my opinion, they are much better than you..." With their bravery, Xiaobai could assume that they would have a promising future.

The corner of Murong Xue's mouth twitched. She almost couldn't help throwing Xiaobai out. She was its contractor. How could it help others? Although she was really weak in the beginning and it was a bit embarrassing, it was a long time ago. She was now at purple-level. Xiaobai had to keep that in mind! Murong Xue was a little mad.

"But what should I do with this trouble?" Murong Xue pointed to Xie Linna who was already sitting on the ground in the distance and asked.

After listening to what Lin Nan said just now, she felt that this Xie Linna was definitely big trouble.

"As they said, you can't kill her!" Xiaobai said.

"Then I'm just waiting to be hunted down?" Murong Xue was even more speechless. She would be hunted down no matter whether she killed her or not. Now Murong Xue wondered why she was such an unlucky person. She would have enemies wherever she went.

After thinking for a while, Xiaobai said seriously. "There is another way. You can find protection."

If it hadn't been for the fact that it couldn't be transformed to its physical body now, Xiaobai wouldn't have cared about any masters at purple-level and would have killed whoever came.

"Protection? Do you mean to go back to the depths of the Death Forest? I can't do that. I have to go to find my parents."

"Are you stupid?" Xiaobai glanced at her with contempt, wondering how she could be so silly. It might not be easy for her to grow so stupid.

After Xiaobai showed its contempt, it said lightly when Murong Xue was about to be mad, "There are several places in this world that can protect you. One is the college. One is the mercenary union, and the other is the royal family. But I don't recommend you choose the royal family. You won't have any freedom there."

"Tell me about the college and the mercenary union." Murong Xue said.

"I don't know. I haven't come out for a long time, and I don't know if this world has changed. You should ask those guys later. They might know that."

Murong Xue glanced at Xiao Bai with a little annoyance. "You're useless."
