Chapter 246: Ruins Exploration Invitation, Agree to Join the Team
The fist with the strong wind directly hit his spell.
Boom!
A loud sound was heard, and a wave of air appeared where the air wave intersected. The air wave blew up the surrounding dust, and the robes of the two people were blown up.
Even Nie Ling and the others, who were not far away, unconsciously used their hands to cover the impact of the air wave.
The dust and ashes slowly dissipated. In front of Su Yi, he had used his true essence punch to shatter the opponent’s probing spell.
The result was obvious. Wang Baocai had no need to continue probing.
At that moment, Wang Baocai looked at Su Yi with surprise in his eyes. Although he had heard that Su Yi’s name was very well-known in the Central Plains, he was still shocked.
Only those who had truly experienced his strength could not help but be incomparably shocked.
Was there really someone in this world who could use pure true essence to withstand a spell that was one level higher than him?
Yes, Wang Baocai had sensed it when Su Yi had activated his true essence. At that moment, Su Yi’s cultivation level was only at the late foundation establishment stage, the seventh level.
It was even one level lower than him, Wang Baocai, but he was able to use his fist to break through a spell. One could imagine how powerful and even terrifying Su Yi would be if he used a spell.
At the same time, for the first time, Wang Baocai felt the unfathomable pressure of an old monster in front of his peers.
“Fellow Daoist Wang, do you think you still need to test my strength?”
He slowly withdrew his fist. White smoke seemed to rise faintly from his fist, completely enveloping the fist he had used to clash with the spell.
Hearing this, Wang Baocai recovered from his shock. He looked at Su Yi and said with a faint smile.
“Fellow Daoist Su’s strength is indeed as unfathomable as the rumors say. I admire you.”
As he said this, Wang Baocai cupped his fists at Su Yi. Then, he slowly walked to Su Yi’s side and said, “I wonder if fellow Daoist Su is interested in the map of the ancient ruins?”
Wang Baocai spoke very softly. Other than Su Yi, no one else could hear him.
Nie Ling, Li Mengxi, and the others, who were not far away, naturally did not have the habit of eavesdropping. They could only wait quietly for Wang Baocai and Su Yi to finish their conversation.
When he heard what Wang Baocai said, his pupils constricted slightly. Then, he said indifferently, “fellow Daoist Wang, what do you mean by this?”
His eyes flashed with a bright light as he asked Wang Baocai.
When the other party saw this, he naturally knew that he had already aroused Su Yi’s interest, so he said, “fellow Daoist Su Yi, I want to invite you to explore the ancient ruins together.”
As he spoke, Wang Baocai did not lower his voice this time. Instead, he openly invited him.
Hearing this, Nie Ling and the others who were not far away were shocked. He actually invited Su Yi to explore the ancient ruins together. Could it be that this person did not know that opportunities were limited? One more person would mean one less opportunity.
Of course, no one thought that Wang Baocai was an idiot. To be able to be brought by an elder to explore the ancient ruins, which one of them did not have the strength to take charge?
However, why did he invite Su Yi?
In reality, it was not the case. During the previous probing, Wang Baocai had already completely acknowledged Su Yi’s strength. He even had a trace of admiration for this influential figure who was only rumored to be in the Central Plains.
Regarding this, when he sent out the invitation to Su Yi, his eyes were filled with seriousness. He had already placed Su Yi in the same position.
When he heard Wang Baocai’s words and the map of the ancient ruins that he had mentioned earlier, he was slightly moved.
If the other party was not an idiot, he would not have lied to him after seeing his strength.
The other party had the map and had actually asked him. It could be seen that the other party was still vigilant when exploring the ruins. It could also be extremely dangerous in the ancient ruins.
“Why did you come looking for me?” He looked at Wang Baocai with a questioning ancient gaze and asked faintly.
He had just thought about it. If he joined Wang Baocai’s team to explore together, what would happen to Nie Ling?
He had promised Old Master Nie that he would protect her in the ancient ruins.
Who knew that the other party would be slightly startled when he heard this, and then he said indifferently.
“Fellow Daoist Su Yi, you don’t know that the ancient ruins are filled with danger. Even if my map is the outer area of the ancient ruins, I can’t underestimate it. Therefore, having a powerful companion is also a guarantee of my own safety, right?”
“Forgive me for refusing to join. I’m sorry.”He closed his eyes slightly and refused.
When the other party heard this, he became anxious. It wasn’t easy for him, Wang Baocai, to share his secret with a cultivator. It was only because Su Yi was an itinerant cultivator and was not a disciple of any family.
However, the other party actually rejected him.
As for why Wang Baocai did not share his secret with those other disciples of an aristocratic clan and explore together with them…
What a joke. As a disciple of an aristocratic clan, how could Wang Baocai not know the twists and turns involved?
On the other hand, an itinerant cultivator like Su Yi had borrowed the Nie family’s quota to come to the ancient ruins. According to the rumors, this Su Yi had feelings and righteousness. He did not seem like a disciple of an aristocratic clan who would stab his companions in the back.
However, now that the other party had actually rejected him, he immediately became anxious. Is he going to explore the ancient ruins alone? What a joke. If he did not have anyone to take care of him, he would not even have the chance to ask for help if he was in danger.
Wang Baocai quickly stepped forward and stopped Su Yi who was about to leave. Then, he asked with a pleading look in his eyes.
“Fellow Daoist Su Yi, can you reconsider this matter?”
He stopped in his tracks. From Wang Baocai’s eyes, he could tell that the other party was sincerely inviting him.
However, he looked at Nie Ling and the others, who were not far away, and a bold idea arose in his heart.
“Fellow Daoist Wang, it’s not impossible for us to explore together. However, can I bring someone along?”
He looked at Nie Ling, who immediately understood and frowned slightly.
Although Miss Nie Ling was very suitable for his taste and was a rare companion. However, in this ancient ruin, Miss Nie Ling’s cultivation was indeed too low.
Mid foundation establishment stage…
Wang Baocai looked at Nie Ling, then at Su Yi. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said calmly.
“Alright! I agree. Fellow Daoist Su Yi, it’s just that Miss Nie Ling safety… When the time comes, I’m afraid…”
He waved his hand and said calmly to Wang Baocai.
“You don’t have to worry about this. I will naturally guarantee fellow Daoist Nie’s safety.”
When Su Yi said this, Wang Baocai could actually feel a kind of force, a kind of determination-like force from him.
At the same time, he planted a seed in Wang Baocai’s heart. He could definitely be on good terms with this person.
Then, Wang Baocai looked at Li Mengxi and Li Zhengxuan, who were beside Nie Ling, and said to Su Yi calmly.
“Fellow Daoist Su Yi, if those two fellow Daoists are interested, why don’t you invite them along?”
Wang Baocai could see that those people were all in the same team as Su Yi. Since he had poached Su Yi away, he might as well do them a favor and bring them along as well.
On the other hand, he was slightly startled when he heard that. Li Mengxi and her big brother might have their own plans. He did not ask before, but since Wang Baocai had already mentioned it, he would mention it to them later.
Whether they came or not, that would be their own choice.
