Although Ye Fan understood that the four blue-clothed youths were here to provoke him, in order to stay at the Xuanwu Sect, he couldn't directly confront them. He could only choose to endure and shake them off.
However—
The four were like sticky sugar, following Ye Fan wherever he went.
Gradually, under their tailing, Ye Fan slowly moved out of the Xuanwu Sect's territory, advancing deeper into the Xuan Beast Forest.
Just like before, the four always followed at a distance. As soon as Ye Fan spotted traces of a Xuan Beast, the four would swarm over like flies, using their numerical advantage to beat Ye Fan to killing the Xuan Beast.
Moreover, after killing a Xuan Beast, they would deliberately tease Ye Fan, claiming they were protecting this junior who had just joined the elite disciples, to prevent him from being eaten alive by powerful Xuan Beasts.
Ye Fan ignored this, but he was also somewhat anxious.
