Within the trial grounds, amidst the commotion, one of them interrupted in a deep voice: "Quiet down, everyone! Who are the people who killed my nephew? Explain yourselves to me, one by one!"

"Father, when my cousin died, he had injured the other man's arm. This was his weapon. Can we follow this bloodstain to find any clues about that person?"

The middle-aged man took the weapon, examined the bloodstains on it, and said with a solemn expression, "It is possible to trace the person's whereabouts based on the bloodstains. However, your cousin was the number one expert in my Luo Yun Sect. His strength was not weak, yet he was killed in one move..."

"Dad, my cousin was probably ambushed. I heard that the person he was trying to catch was quite handsome. My cousin always likes to provoke good-looking men..."

"Lust is a double-edged sword, he really is..." The middle-aged man sighed, "Give the order to lead the disciples of the sect to track down the owner of the bloodstains with me!"

...

Song Xiwei walked around to Aoqian's side. In front of Aoqian, she moved her limbs and turned her neck to show that she was fine.

Incidentally, she pointed at Aoqian with a gloating expression, "However, Young Master doesn't look too good. Apart from his facial features, he can't move at all."

Aoqian listened to Song Xiwei's playful tone teasing him, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.

He didn't know what was wrong with him.

In this chilling silence, only the person before him stood out. Her eyes shone brighter than the stars, and though he couldn't see her expressions clearly in the darkness, he could imagine how vivid her mischievous and lively smile would be.

"Why aren't you saying anything? You really don't plan to let me make a move?" Song Xiwei asked him.

Aoqian didn't know how to bring it up.

He knew that he was useless without demonic magic, and without Song Xiwei, he couldn't even deal with a few ferocious beasts.

This was very damaging to his self-esteem, but it was also the truth.

At this rate, when and where will he become stronger again?

The light in his eyes dimmed.

At this moment, Aoqian felt somewhat disheartened.

Song Xiwei must have been extremely disappointed.

He wasn't as brave as she was. Wanting to try is one thing, but actually doing it is another.

Right now, if Song Xiwei doesn't intervene, he won't be able to escape at all.

"What are you being so stubborn about? The task I gave you wasn't to provoke ferocious beasts. You already used your speed to dodge the one-eyed bear. It's just that you were unlucky and got targeted by the mother spider, so you couldn't escape. Isn't that normal? Everyone does what they are capable of. Now you want to challenge greater difficulties beyond your level, but you should first consider whether you are suitable for it."

Song Xiwei's voice clearly reached Aoqian's ears.

He stared at her blankly.

Then she said, "I asked you to lead the group to move those animals so that you could obtain the purest purifying spiritual energy from them. But you accidentally stumbled into the area of ​​ferocious beasts, which was not our purpose this time. Why are you making things difficult for yourself?"

Aoqian was even more at a loss for words.

Song Xiwei had even prepared the steps for him.

If he accepts Song Xiwei's help without feeling guilty, will everything really be alright?

"Young Master, do you know when you're at your least lovable?" Song Xiwei changed her serious tone from before and said in a somewhat nonchalant manner, "Like right now, with your gloomy and dejected look."

Aoqian: "..." He was just confused as to why he had made himself so contradictory.
