Chapter 231 Snow and Wind Block the Road
Yizhen sighed, no longer caring about whether he felt comfortable or not, and looked at Chu Xinglan with emotion.
"You are so awesome."
His straightforward and sincere praise made Chu Xinglan feel embarrassed.
He took the hand that was still on Yizhen's shoulder and touched his nose.
"Well, actually I was just talking nonsense. I just looked at him like that and it wouldn't make any sense, so I just scolded him and tried my best to save him."
Yizhen chuckled, shook his head, and did not refute his words.
"What about us now?"
Chu Xinglan looked at Chen Rui, who had already stood up and was ready to continue climbing the mountain, and took the lead to walk towards that direction.
"Of course we're going to laugh at him and then continue up the mountain."
"It has already wasted quite a bit of time. It looks like there is no time left to continue repairing it."
Yizhen: “…”
But soon, he chuckled and caught up with him, feeling a sense of clearing the clouds in his heart, which made him feel happy.
When Chen Rui heard the footsteps, he subconsciously turned around and saw Chu Xinglan, who should have walked far away, appear with a smile on his face, followed by Yizhen.
He was stunned on the spot for a moment. The guy who was full of morale just now suddenly became at a loss, looking at Chu Xinglan like a child who had done something wrong.
However, when Chu Xinglan walked up to him, he still mustered up the courage and took the initiative to speak.
"Thank you. I have figured it out. I am grown up now. Although I am not that strong yet, I am no longer the one who can only be bullied by others."
Chu Xinglan nodded in satisfaction when he heard that and patted his shoulder in a mature manner.
"Ruzi is teachable. Actually, saying no isn't that hard, right?"
"No one can control your life. All those who want to push you into the abyss are obstacles. All you have to do is say no to them, then raise your sword and defeat them."
Chen Rui nodded excitedly, his face flushed, and looked at Chu Xinglan with admiration.
Chu Xinglan suddenly changed the subject, "Well, if we can't win, we shouldn't just force it. We need to be strategic."
"Run first, then practice hard, and when you can beat him, take him down with one sword."
As he said this, he made a gesture of swinging the sword fiercely.
Chen Rui was suddenly amused by his cute actions, and the last bit of haze in his heart slowly dissipated, and the youthful vigor and fearless drive slowly appeared on his face.
In this world full of snow and biting cold wind, he felt the warmth he hadn't felt for a long time.
Chu Xinglan is that dazzling light. It seems that seeing him can dispel all the fear in his heart and give him the courage to move forward.
He suddenly felt that all the suffering and injustice of the previous twenty years were nothing, and meeting Chu Xinglan in this snowy mountain was fate's greatest gift to him.
Chu Xinglan saw that although he was full of fighting spirit, it was obvious that his body was still not able to keep up, so he generously took out two defensive magic weapons and threw them into his arms.
"Bring it on, we have to keep moving."
Then she looked at him seriously and said, "You must follow me. I won't stop to wait for you."
Seeing this, Yizhen also handed him two and said, "Take them with you. We don't know what dangers there are up there. Only when you are alive can you have a future."
Chen Rui, who originally wanted to refuse, pursed his lips and held the defensive magic weapon in his arms.
It's funny to say that over the years, no matter how dangerous the mission was, he had never seen a defensive weapon, not even the lowest level one.
If those people didn't still rely on him to help, they would probably be reluctant to give him even a better sword.
He did not express his gratitude again, but silently put the magic weapon away in the safest place on his body, then looked up at Chu Xinglan with a firm face.
"I won't hold you back."
Chu Xinglan nodded, looked at Yizhen, walked in front to lead the way, and Yizhen also tacitly chose to follow behind, and the three of them continued to move towards the top of the mountain.
I don't know when snowflakes started floating in the air. Snowflakes as big as half a palm swirled down in the increasingly cold wind.
Even Chu Xinglan, who had been handling the situation with ease, couldn't help but slow down. Since this was not an attack, the defensive magic weapon on his body was not triggered.
In order not to obstruct their vision, they could only take turns using their spiritual power to prop up the protective shield, resist the wind and snow, and walk upwards with difficulty against the wind.
After walking for about an hour, the three had to stop and rest.
The temperature on the mountain at the moment was so cold that even with their cultivation, they could still feel the chill. The chill penetrated into their exposed skin and wreaked havoc in their bodies.
Chu Xinglan rubbed his hands, looking a little unhappy.
"Under the current situation, I'm afraid we can't leave, and we don't know when the snow will stop."
Yizhen's expression was also somewhat solemn, "According to our speed, we should be almost halfway up the mountain."
"Apart from the obstacles of wind and snow, there has been no danger along the way. I'm afraid it won't be so easy halfway up the mountain."
Chu Xinglan and Chen Rui both nodded in agreement, but they were afraid that they couldn’t get up to the halfway point of the mountain now. The wind and snow kept blowing, and even if they did, their spiritual energy would probably be exhausted.
In a place like this where danger could occur at any time, exhausting your spiritual energy is simply waiting for death.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the three of them was a little heavy.
Chu Xinglan patted the snowflakes that had already fallen on his body, and the spiritual fire in his body surged out, turning into a line of fire that circled the three people.
In an instant, the cold was isolated outside, and Yizhen and Chen Rui both subconsciously sighed in comfort.
Chu Xinglan happily took out the tea set from his bell. He didn't care about brewing it correctly at this moment. He directly controlled the spiritual fire to boil the tea, and then poured a cup for each person.
"Don't think too much. If you can't go up, don't go up. Drink some hot water first."
Chen Rui was flattered and quickly took it with both hands. He held it in his palms and took a small sip. The warmth flowed down his throat and directly warmed his stomach.
Yizhen didn't bother to be polite with him. After taking the wine and taking a sip, he looked at his hand thoughtfully.
Then he took out a bag of dry food from his own space and said, "How about you heat this up too?"
Nowadays, it doesn’t really matter if they don’t eat for a month or two, especially when they are in seclusion, which often lasts for several months.
However, if conditions permit, there is no need to fast, especially in such cold weather, it would be so comfortable to eat something hot.
Chu Xinglan pouted speechlessly as he looked at Yi Zhen who was using him as a heater, but he didn't refuse.
But after taking it and opening the package, he widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Yizhen, you really don't want to hurt me? Who would eat something like this?"
