One of the Guixi Sect disciples, who had already arrived at the cultivation grounds, held a long spear and ran the Jade-faced Mantis through with a single thrust.
Then, with a flick of his spear tip, he hooked the mantis's corpse with a rope and dragged it back.
Only after doing all this did he notice Wang Xiedi standing not far away.
???
Uh...
"Oh! Wang Xiedi!"
The disciple scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't realize you had your eye on this one.
No worries, there are plenty of these Jade-faced Mantises. Take your pick, look all you want!
We still have to go fertilize the Spirit Plants, so we'll be leaving now, leaving now!"
With that, he shot his companion a look.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"I told you there was something wrong with this junior brother!"
"If he sees us again and starts spouting some weird stuff, it'll be a real pain!"
With a CLICK, the two Guixi Sect disciples dragged the mantis corpse and scurried away.
