They were lucky, but Mei Gui's plight filled their hearts with unease, and a good number of doubts permeated their minds.
To hit someone in the face is, after all, the favorite pastime of petty women.
The extent of the injuries on Mei Gui's face indicated that the culprit had been exceptionally cruel.
The question was, in a forest full of assailants, could there be a Fierce Beast that was so personable, so fond of hitting people in the face?
Or had their junior sister encountered another group of Cultivators?
Regardless of the situation, it wasn't one that those of their meager abilities could afford to linger in.
When he finally calmed down to think, the eldest disciple, too, regretted that in his confusion he had agreed to Mei Gui's request to go out and gain experience.
Somehow, like he had been bewitched, he had even brought along Xue Jian and Xue Xu.
