【 wǒ wú dí 】 zhè yī fān huà shuō de yún dàn fēng qīng ， dàn luò rù zài chǎng xiū shì ěr zhōng ， què wú yì yú jīng léi yì bān 。
【我无敌】这一番话说的云澹风轻，但落入在场修士耳中，却无异于惊雷一般。
【I Am Invincible】 spoke with a light and casual tone, but to the ears of those present, it was like a thunderclap.
yí gè gè dōu mù dèng kǒu dāi ， mǎn shì zhèn jīng 。
一个个都目瞪口呆，满是震惊。
Each person stared in shock, their minds reeling. They looked at the man facing off against Chen Yuru from afar, feeling as if their brains were in turmoil.
yáo yáo wàng zhe nà ge hé chén yù róu duì zhì de nán zi ， gǎn jué nǎo zi lǐ luàn hōng hōng de 。
遥遥望着那个和沉玉柔对峙的男子，感觉脑子里乱哄哄的。
After so much hard work to reach the Transcendence Realm, would he really just disperse his foundation and start over?
hǎo bù róng yì xiū liàn dào huà shén jìng jiè ， shuō sàn gōng chóng xiū ， jiù sàn gōng chóng xiū le ？
好不容易修炼到化神境界，说散功重修，就散功重修了？
Wasn't it supposed to be as easy as eating or drinking when one broke through to a higher realm?
nán bù chéng xiū xíng tū pò ， jiù gēn chī fàn hē shuǐ yī yàng qīng sōng ma ？
难不成修行突破，就跟吃饭喝水一样轻松嘛？
【I Am Invincible】 paid no heed to others' shock. Instead, he stared intently at Chen Yuru and asked, "What's the matter? Don’t you think that just because I’m at Foundation Establishment now, I can’t defeat you?"
【 wǒ wú dí 】 sī háo méi yǒu jiāng páng rén de zhèn jīng fàng zài xīn shàng ， ér shì duō duō bī rén de kàn zhe chén yù róu ， wèn dào ：“ zěn me ？ nǐ bú huì yǐ wéi wǒ xiàn zài shì zhù jī xiū wèi ， jiù dǎ bù guò nǐ le ba ？”
【我无敌】丝毫没有将旁人的震惊放在心上，而是咄咄逼人的看着沉玉柔，问道：“怎么？你不会以为我现在是筑基修为，就打不过你了吧？”
This statement caused even more commotion.
cǐ yán yī chū ， gèng shì yī piàn huá rán 。
此言一出，更是一片哗然。
The difference between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation was like night and day.
zhù jī hé yuán yīng zhī jiān de chā jù ， kě wèi tiān chà dì bié 。
筑基和元婴之间的差距，可谓天差地别。
A Core Formation True Monarch could kill a common Foundation Establishment cultivator as easily as crushing an ant.
yuán yīng zhēn jūn ， zhū shā xún cháng zhù jī xiū shì ， zhēn gēn niē sǐ yī zhī mǎ yǐ méi shén me qū bié 。
元婴真君，诛杀寻常筑基修士，真跟捏死一只蚂蚁没什么区别。
However, from the way 【I Am Invincible】 spoke, he claimed that despite being at Foundation Establishment, he could still defeat a Core Formation cultivator. How was this possible?
rán ér ， tīng zhè 【 wǒ wú dí 】 huà lǐ de yì si ， tā suī rán zhù jī xiū wèi ， dàn shì què néng jī bài yuán yīng xiū shì ？
然而，听这【我无敌】话里的意思，他虽然筑基修为，但是却能击败元婴修士？
What shocked everyone even more was that Chen Yuru, with her long hair and feminine appearance, did not react to 【I Am Invincible】's provocation. She merely glanced at him warily and snorted without refuting anything.
zhè zěn me kě néng ？
这怎么可能？
This amounted to an implicit admission of 【I Am Invincible】's words!
ràng zhòng rén jīng hài de shì ， nà cháng fà piān rán 、 nán shēng nǚ xiàng de chén yù róu ， miàn duì 【 wǒ wú dí 】 de tiǎo xìn ， jìng rán méi yǒu fā zuò 。
让众人惊骇的是，那长发翩然、男生女像的沉玉柔，面对【我无敌】的挑衅，竟然没有发作。
Perhaps this Core Formation cultivator Chen Yuru really wasn't a match for the Foundation Establishment cultivator, 【I Am Invincible】?
zhǐ shì jì dàn dì kàn le duì fāng yī yǎn ， lěng hēng yī shēng ， méi yǒu fǎn bó 。
只是忌惮地看了对方一眼，冷哼一声，没有反驳。
The gaze of the other cultivators toward the man in golden armor changed.
zhè jiù xiāng dāng yú zhí jiē chéng rèn le 【 wǒ wú dí 】 de shuō cí ！
这就相当于直接承认了【我无敌】的说辞！
At that moment, Chen Yuru suddenly smiled and said with sarcasm, "Anyone who knows anything about Nine Mountain Province will know you're the darling of the esteemed [Scarlet Snow Immortal Sovereign]. Don’t even think about it! Even if you’re only at the Qi Refining stage, I wouldn’t dare to attack you without provocation!"
zhè yuán yīng xiū wèi de chén yù róu ， huò xǔ zhēn de bú shì zhù jī xiū wèi 【 wǒ wú dí 】 de duì shǒu ！
这元婴修为的沉玉柔，或许真的不是筑基修为【我无敌】的对手！
"If I were to hurt you in any way, that person would come looking for us. The Spirit Origin Sect won't be able to handle it!"
yī zhòng xiū shì ， wàng xiàng nà jīn jiǎ nán zi de yǎn guāng ， yòu yǒu bù tóng 。
一众修士，望向那金甲男子的眼光，又有不同。
This statement caused the surrounding cultivators to look at 【I Am Invincible】 with new eyes.
cǐ shí ， bèi zhé le miàn zi de chén yù róu ， què shì hū de wǎn ěr yí xiào ， jiā qiāng dài bàng dào ：“ zhè jiǔ shān zhōu dàn fán xiāo xī líng tōng diǎn de ， shuí bù zhī dào nǐ shì táng táng 【 fēi xuě xiān zūn 】 de qīn qīn bǎo bèi 。 bié shuō zhù jī qī le ， jiù suàn nǐ shì liàn qì qī ， zhàn zhe bù dòng ràng wǒ dòng shǒu ， wǒ yě bù gǎn a ！”
此时，被折了面子的沉玉柔，却是忽的莞尔一笑，夹枪带棒道：“这九山州但凡消息灵通点的，谁不知道你是堂堂【绯雪仙尊】的亲亲宝贝。别说筑基期了，就算你是炼气期，站着不动让我动手，我也不敢啊！”
They all seemed to understand something.
“ yào shì bǎ nǐ nǎ lǐ dǎ shāng le ， nà wèi zhǎo shàng mén lái ， wǒ men líng yuán jiào kě chī bù xiāo ！”
“要是把你哪里打伤了，那位找上门来，我们灵元教可吃不消！”
Chen Yuru's words seemed to hit a sore spot with 【I Am Invincible】. His face turned grim as he stared intently at her, but she had no intention of纠缠 further.
cǐ yán yī chū ， wéi guān de xiū shì dǎ liàng 【 wǒ wú dí 】 de mù guāng zài biàn 。
此言一出，围观的修士打量【我无敌】的目光再变。
She smiled and gestured for him to follow, saying "Come on!"
fēn fēn lù chū yuán lái rú cǐ de shén qíng 。
纷纷露出原来如此的神情。
【I Am Invincible】 glanced at her coldly but didn’t continue the provocation. Instead, he turned and entered the passage.
ér chén yù róu de huà páng fó chuō dào le 【 wǒ wú dí 】 de tòng chù ， tā de liǎn sè shà shí jiān yīn chén xià lái ， sǐ sǐ dīng zhe chén yù róu 。
而沉玉柔的话彷佛戳到了【我无敌】的痛处，他的脸色霎时间阴沉下来，死死盯着沉玉柔。
Just then, a clear, young voice rang out from the crowd: "Wait! Wait! I’m with him; let me through!"
chén yù róu què méi yǒu zài gēn tā jiū chán de dǎ suàn 。
沉玉柔却没有再跟他纠缠的打算。
Everyone was startled as they followed the sound.
shēn shǒu wēi xiào ， bǎi le gè “ qǐng ” de zī shì 。
伸手微笑，摆了个“请”的姿势。
A little girl in red clothes, no more than seven or eight years old, was running toward 【I Am Invincible】 while shouting.
【 wǒ wú dí 】 lěng lěng kàn le duì fāng yī yǎn ， bù zhī wèi hé méi yǒu jì xù tiāo shì 。
【我无敌】冷冷看了对方一眼，不知为何没有继续挑事。
Behind her was a middle-aged man with an ancient copper-colored complexion, looking somewhat helpless.
fǎn ér zhuǎn shēn jìn rù xíng dào zhī zhōng 。
反而转身进入陉道之中。
The girl was naturally Su Xiaomei, and the middle-aged man was Zhang Haobo.
jiù zài zhè shí ， rén qún zhōng hū rán xiǎng qǐ qīng cuì zhì nèn de shēng yīn ：“ děng děng ， děng děng ！ wǒ shì gēn tā yī huǒ de ， ràng wǒ guò qù ！”
就在这时，人群中忽然响起清脆稚嫩的声音：“等等，等等！我是跟他一伙的，让我过去！”
Su Xiaomei ran up to 【I Am Invincible】, patted his arm, and looked relieved. "Let’s go!"
zhòng rén yī jīng ， shùn zhe shēng yīn wàng qù 。
众人一惊，顺着声音望去。
She stared at him with her wide, innocent eyes and urged, "Come on!"
zhǐ jiàn yí gè shēn chuān hóng yī ， bù guò qī bā suì dà de xiǎo nǚ hái ， yī biān hǎn zhe 、 yī biān fēi kuài cháo zhe 【 wǒ wú dí 】 bēn lái 。
只见一个身穿红衣，不过七八岁大的小女孩，一边喊着、一边飞快朝着【我无敌】奔来。
【I Am Invincible】 was initially taken aback but then glanced at the little girl who had appeared out of nowhere. He was about to say something when he changed his expression and said: "Alright! Let’s go!"
tā de shēn hòu ， hái gēn zhe yí gè gǔ tóng sè pí fū de zhōng nián hàn zi ， liǎn shàng yǒu xiē wú nài 。
她的身后，还跟着一个古铜色皮肤的中年汉子，脸上有些无奈。
He entered the passage with a sly smile.
xiǎo nǚ hái zì rán shì sū xiǎo mèi ， ér zhōng nián hàn zi zé shì zhāng hào bō le 。
小女孩自然是苏小妹，而中年汉子则是张浩波了。
Zhang Haobo followed closely, his expression serious.
sū xiǎo mèi yī liū xiǎo pǎo ， lái dào 【 wǒ wú dí 】 shēn biān ， pāi le pāi tā de shǒu bì ， yī fù hái hǎo gǎn shàng le de yàng zi 。
苏小妹一熘小跑，来到【我无敌】身边，拍了拍他的手臂，一副还好赶上了的样子。
The others watched them leave, speculating on the identity of the little girl.
“ zǒu ba zǒu ba ！”
“走吧走吧！”
Chen Yuru's face was also full of conflicting emotions as she pondered something.
tā yòng nà shuāng mǎn shì tiān zhēn de dà yǎn jīng dèng zhe 【 wǒ wú dí 】， cuī cù dào 。
她用那双满是天真的大眼睛瞪着【我无敌】，催促道。
The Fine Pebble Mountain Passage was about seven or eight miles long and穿过了山体。
【 wǒ wú dí 】 yǒu xiē xiān shì yǒu xiē mò míng qí miào ， dǎ liàng le zhè bù zhī cóng nǎ mào chū lái de xiǎo gū niáng yī yǎn ， zhèng yù shuō xiē shén me 。
【我无敌】有些先是有些莫名其妙，打量了这不知从哪冒出来的小姑娘一眼，正欲说些什么。
It seemed to have been carved through the mountain by someone. At intervals, there were Spirit Origin Sect cultivators stationed here.
què shén qíng wēi wēi yī biàn ， shuō dào zuǐ biān de huà yě shà shí jiān huàn le cí ：“ hǎo ！ zǒu ba ！”
却神情微微一变，说到嘴边的话也霎时间换了词：“好！走吧！”
【I Am Invincible】 didn’t ask Su Xiaomei about her background or intentions; he just focused on walking.
lù chū yí gè pǒ wèi wán wèi de xiào róng ， jìn rù xíng dào zhī zhōng 。
露出一个颇为玩味的笑容，进入陉道之中。
Zhang Haobo whispered to Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, what are you trying to do? The person ahead is not easy to deal with. Why do you want to be his ally? Are you just saving those two hundred spirit stones?"
zhāng hào bō shén sè sù rán ， jǐn jǐn gēn suí 。
张浩波神色肃然，紧紧跟随。
Su Xiaomei paused in her steps. "What about the spirit stones! I’m not so petty, okay? Don’t always treat me like a child!"
zhòng rén mù shì tā men lí qù ， fēn fēn cāi cè qǐ le zhè xiǎo nǚ hái de shēn fèn 。
众人目视他们离去，纷纷猜测起了这小女孩的身份。
《The Sword Comes》
ér chén yù róu yě shì shén sè yīn qíng bù dìng ， bù zhī dào zài xiǎng xiē shén me 。
而沉玉柔也是神色阴晴不定，不知道在想些什么。
"Besides, how can you be so scared as an adult."
xì shí shān xíng dào zhǎng qī bā lǐ ， chuān shān ér guò 。
细石山陉道长七八里，穿山而过。
"What’s hard to deal with… He’s at Foundation Establishment, and I am too. Why should I fear him?"
sì hū shì bèi rén yìng shēng shēng cóng shān tǐ zhōng yāng kāi záo ér chéng ， měi gé yī duàn ， dū huì kàn dào líng yuán jiào de xiū shì zhù shǒu 。
似乎是被人硬生生从山体中央开凿而成，每隔一段，都会看到灵元教的修士驻守。
Zhang Haobo was speechless.
【 wǒ wú dí 】 yě bù wèn sū xiǎo mèi de lái lì hé qǐ tú ， zhǐ shì mēn tóu gǎn lù 。
【我无敌】也不问苏小妹的来历和企图，只是闷头赶路。
Your Foundation Establishment is different from others'.
zhāng hào bō cǐ shí chuán yīn gěi xiǎo mèi ：“ xiǎo mèi ， nǐ zhè shì xiǎng yào gàn shén me ？ qián miàn zhè wèi kě bù hǎo rě ， wèi hé qiáng xíng yào gēn tā pān shàng guān xì ？ nán bù chéng jiù shì wèi le shěng nà liǎng bǎi kē líng shí ？”
张浩波此时传音给小妹：“小妹，你这是想要干什么？前面这位可不好惹，为何强行要跟他攀上关系？难不成就是为了省那两百颗灵石？”
However, the rebellious Su Xiaomei not only didn’t back down but approached him, asking questions left and right.
sū xiǎo mèi de jiǎo bù yī dùn ：“ shén me líng shí ！ wǒ yǒu zhè me xiǎo qì ma ？ nǐ bié zǒng bǎ wǒ dāng xiǎo hái zi kàn hǎo bù hǎo ！”
苏小妹的脚步一顿：“什么灵石！我有这么小气嘛？你别总把我当小孩子看好不好！”
"Are you really called [I Am Invincible]? What a strange name!"
《 jiàn lái 》
《剑来》
"Did you really used to be a Transcendence Realm cultivator and then disperse your foundation?"
“ zài shuō le ， nǐ zhè me dà rén le ， zěn me zhè me dǎn xiǎo 。”
“再说了，你这么大人了，怎么这么胆小。”
"What’s it like to become a Transcendence Realm cultivator?"
“ shén me bù hǎo rě …… tā shì zhù jī qī ， wǒ yě shì zhù jī qī 。 pà tā zuò shèn ！”
“什么不好惹……他是筑基期，我也是筑基期。怕他作甚！”
"The armor on me is nice. Is it some treasure?"
zhāng hào bō bèi duì de yǒu xiē wú yǔ 。
张浩波被怼的有些无语。
...
nǐ zhè zhù jī qī ， gēn bié rén de zhù jī qī ， néng yī yàng me 。
你这筑基期，跟别人的筑基期，能一样么。
Zhang Haobo listened with a pale face, fearing that 【I Am Invincible】 would get annoyed by Xiaomei.
rán ér ， yǒu xiē pàn nì de sū xiǎo mèi bù jǐn méi yǒu shōu liǎn ， fǎn ér còu shàng qián qù ， wèn dōng wèn xī qǐ lái 。
然而，有些叛逆的苏小妹不仅没有收敛，反而凑上前去，问东问西起来。
【I Am Invincible】 didn’t answer Su Xiaomei’s questions but didn't seem to be angry either. He even had an inexplicable smile on his face.
“ nǐ zhēn de jiào 【 wǒ wú dí 】 me ？ zhè me míng zì zěn me zhè me guài a ？”
“你真的叫【我无敌】么？这么名字怎么这么怪啊？”
Zhang Haobo suddenly understood.
“ nǐ zhēn de zhī qián shì huà shén xiū shì ， hòu lái sàn gōng chóng xiū le me ？”
“你真的之前是化神修士，后来散功重修了么？”
He knew that Su Xiaomei's cultivation method could sense the subtlest emotions of those around her.
“ chéng wéi huà shén xiū shì shì zěn yàng yī zhǒng tǐ yàn a ？”
“成为化神修士是怎样一种体验啊？”
Her actions earlier seemed rash, but they were actually quite safe.
“ gāng gāng shēn shàng zhè jù kǎi jiǎ bù cuò ， shì bú shì shén me bǎo bèi ？”
“刚刚身上这具铠甲不错，是不是什么宝贝？”
"It seems that Xiaomei has other intentions? Indeed, we shouldn’t underestimate her due to her age," Zhang Haobo thought.
……
……
The three walked together, with only Su Xiaomei talking nonstop.
zhāng hào bō zài hòu miàn tīng dé liǎn sè yǒu xiē fā bái ， shēng pà 【 wǒ wú dí 】 bèi xiǎo mèi rě nǎo ， fān liǎn dòng shǒu 。
张浩波在后面听得脸色有些发白，生怕【我无敌】被小妹惹恼，翻脸动手。
Soon, they crossed the passage and left the Fine Pebble Mountain area.
bù guò 【 wǒ wú dí 】 suī rán méi yǒu huí dá sū xiǎo mèi de wèn tí ， què méi yǒu fā nù 。
不过【我无敌】虽然没有回答苏小妹的问题，却没有发怒。
At this moment, 【I Am Invincible】 suddenly stopped.
shèn zhì liǎn shàng hái yǐn yǐn lù chū yī sī mò míng de xiào yì 。
甚至脸上还隐隐露出一丝莫名的笑意。
He turned around and looked at Su Xiaomei, asking curiously, "You’re a little kid, but why do you say we’re on the same side if we’ve never met?"
zhāng hào bō dùn shí yǒu xiē liǎo rán 。
张浩波顿时有些了然。
Su Xiaomei tilted her head and said innocently, "We’re traveling together now. That counts as being on the same side, right?"
tā zhī dào sū xiǎo mèi de suǒ xiū de gōng fǎ ， néng gòu chá jué dào shēn biān rén zuì xì wēi de qíng xù biàn huà 。
他知道苏小妹的所修的功法，能够察觉到身边人最细微的情绪变化。
She looked slyly at him and asked, "Have you answered my question yet!"
xiān qián xíng wèi kàn shì mǎng zhuàng ， dàn shí jì shàng què méi yǒu shén me fēng xiǎn 。
先前行为看似莽撞，但实际上却没有什么风险。
【I Am Invincible】 chuckled lightly but didn't get angry: "Alright, let me introduce myself first. My name is Suoxing, and [I Am Invincible] is just a nickname I use when traveling the world. What about you?"
“ sì hū ， xiǎo mèi tā hái lìng yǒu mù dì ？ dí què ， bù gāi yīn wèi tā de nián líng xiǎo ， jiù xiǎo qù le tā 。” zhāng hào bō àn zì sī cǔn dào 。
“似乎，小妹她还另有目的？的确，不该因为她的年龄小，就小觑了她。”张浩波暗自思忖道。
"I’m called Su Xiaomei, and that guy over there is Zhang Haobo!" Su Xiaomei answered quickly.
sān rén tóng háng ， zhǐ yǒu sū xiǎo mèi zài bù duàn láo dāo 。
三人同行，只有苏小妹在不断唠叨。
"Su Xiaomei…" Suoxing repeated her name.
hěn kuài ， tā men jiù chuān yuè le xíng dào ， lí kāi le shí xì shān de fàn wéi 。
很快，他们就穿越了陉道，离开了石细山的范围。
He looked at her seriously and asked, "Su Xiaomei, what do you intend to do with me?"
zhè shí hòu ， yì zhí chén mò bù yǔ de 【 wǒ wú dí 】 hū de tíng le xià lái 。
这时候，一直沉默不语的【我无敌】忽的停了下来。
This question made Zhang Haobo feel a bit tense.
zhuǎn tóu kàn zhe sū xiǎo mèi ， ráo yǒu xìng qù de wèn dào ：“ nǐ zhè xiǎo wá wá yě shì yǒu qù ， wǒ gēn nǐ sù bù xiāng shí ba ， wèi shén me shuō hé wǒ shì yī huǒ de ？”
转头看着苏小妹，饶有兴趣的问道：“你这小娃娃也是有趣，我跟你素不相识吧，为什么说和我是一伙的？”
But Su Xiaomei was unfazed. Her eyes sparkled as she answered frankly: "It’s because your name is too arrogant!"
sū xiǎo mèi wāi le wāi tóu ， mǎn shì tiān zhēn de shuō dào ：“ wǒ men xiàn zài yì qǐ gǎn lù ， hái bù suàn shì yī huǒ ma ？”
苏小妹歪了歪头，满是天真的说道：“我们现在一起赶路，还不算是一伙嘛？”
"Invincible?"
jiǎo xiá de yǎn jīng zhuǎn le zhuǎn ， wèn dào ：“ nǐ hái méi huí dá wǒ de wèn tí ne ！”
狡黠的眼睛转了转，问道：“你还没回答我的问题呢！”
"I don’t agree! I want to fight you!"
【 wǒ wú dí 】 qīng xiào yī shēng ， yě bù shēng qì ：“ hǎo ba ， nà xiān zì wǒ jiè shào xià 。 bǐ rén shuò fēng ，【 wǒ wú dí 】 zhǐ shì wǒ xíng zǒu tiān xià yòng de chuò hào ér yǐ 。 xiǎo gū niáng nǐ ne ？”
【我无敌】轻笑一声，也不生气：“好吧，那先自我介绍下。鄙人朔锋，【我无敌】只是我行走天下用的绰号而已。小姑娘你呢？”
Suoxing was taken aback by this answer.
“ wǒ jiào sū xiǎo mèi ， páng biān nà wèi jiào zuò zhāng hào bō ！” sū xiǎo mèi huí dá de hěn kuài 。
“我叫苏小妹，旁边那位叫做张浩波！”苏小妹回答的很快。
He paused, then laughed heartily.
“ sū xiǎo mèi ……” shuò fēng jiāng zhè ge míng zì chóng fù niàn le yī biàn 。
“苏小妹……”朔锋将这个名字重复念了一遍。
"Good! A fun little kid!"
suí hòu rèn zhēn de kàn zhe tā ， wèn dào ：“ sū xiǎo mèi ， nǐ gēn wǒ ， yì yù hé wèi ？”
随后认真的看着她，问道：“苏小妹，你跟我，意欲何为？”
"Just right; I’ve been itching for a fight on the journey."
cǐ yán yī chū ， zhāng hào bō dùn shí biàn dé yǒu xiē jǐn zhāng qǐ lái 。
此言一出，张浩波顿时变得有些紧张起来。
"This place is wide and empty. Why don’t we settle our differences here?"
【I Am Invincible】 spoke with a light and casual tone, but to the ears of those present, it was like a thunderclap.
Each person stared in shock, their minds reeling. They looked at the man facing off against Chen Yuru from afar, feeling as if their brains were in turmoil.
After so much hard work to reach the Transcendence Realm, would he really just disperse his foundation and start over?
Wasn't it supposed to be as easy as eating or drinking when one broke through to a higher realm?
【I Am Invincible】 paid no heed to others' shock. Instead, he stared intently at Chen Yuru and asked, "What's the matter? Don’t you think that just because I’m at Foundation Establishment now, I can’t defeat you?"
This statement caused even more commotion.
The difference between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation was like night and day.
A Core Formation True Monarch could kill a common Foundation Establishment cultivator as easily as crushing an ant.

What shocked everyone even more was that Chen Yuru, with her long hair and feminine appearance, did not react to 【I Am Invincible】's provocation. She merely glanced at him warily and snorted without refuting anything.

She smiled and gestured for him to follow, saying "Come on!"
【I Am Invincible】 glanced at her coldly but didn’t continue the provocation. Instead, he turned and entered the passage.
Just then, a clear, young voice rang out from the crowd: "Wait! Wait! I’m with him; let me through!"
Everyone was startled as they followed the sound.
A little girl in red clothes, no more than seven or eight years old, was running toward 【I Am Invincible】 while shouting.
Behind her was a middle-aged man with an ancient copper-colored complexion, looking somewhat helpless.
The girl was naturally Su Xiaomei, and the middle-aged man was Zhang Haobo.

Zhang Haobo suddenly understood.
He knew that Su Xiaomei's cultivation method could sense the subtlest emotions of those around her.
Her actions earlier seemed rash, but they were actually quite safe.
"It seems that Xiaomei has other intentions? Indeed, we shouldn’t underestimate her due to her age," Zhang Haobo thought.
The three walked together, with only Su Xiaomei talking nonstop.
Soon, they crossed the passage and left the Fine Pebble Mountain area.
At this moment, 【I Am Invincible】 suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at Su Xiaomei, asking curiously, "You’re a little kid, but why do you say we’re on the same side if we’ve never met?"
Su Xiaomei tilted her head and said innocently, "We’re traveling together now. That counts as being on the same side, right?"
She looked slyly at him and asked, "Have you answered my question yet!"
【I Am Invincible】 chuckled lightly but didn't get angry: "Alright, let me introduce myself first. My name is Suoxing, and [I Am Invincible] is just a nickname I use when traveling the world. What about you?"
"I’m called Su Xiaomei, and that guy over there is Zhang Haobo!" Su Xiaomei answered quickly.
"Su Xiaomei…" Suoxing repeated her name.
He looked at her seriously and asked, "Su Xiaomei, what do you intend to do with me?"
This question made Zhang Haobo feel a bit tense.
But Su Xiaomei was unfazed. Her eyes sparkled as she answered frankly: "It’s because your name is too arrogant!"
"Invincible?"
"I don’t agree! I want to fight you!"
Suoxing was taken aback by this answer.
He paused, then laughed heartily.
"Good! A fun little kid!"
"Just right; I’ve been itching for a fight on the journey."
"This place is wide and empty. Why don’t we settle our differences here?"
