The surrounding trees are very tall, with a very rich spiritual energy, and there are many spiritual herbs and medicines on the ground.

They are no longer here; they must have gotten lost during the teleportation.

Everyone here has their own destiny, so she didn't intend to interfere too much. She found a secluded place with abundant spiritual energy and began to meditate and cultivate.

The fox leaped into the portal at the last second before it closed, moving with lightning speed.

My niece had completely forgotten about it, but luckily it reacted quickly and noticed, which allowed it to catch up at the last minute.

In a desert, several people stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Hello, we are students from Zhuoying High School. My name is Xue Ru and he is my senior, Li Gang."

The girl broke the awkward silence by introducing herself.

"Shang Minwen."

He hadn't expected to be teleported to the same place as Qi Yi and Tao Meng, along with two other people. Despite the vastness of the secret realm, they were all here at the same time.

"Hello, my name is Tao Meng, and this is my boyfriend, Qi Yi," Tao Meng said shyly.

She was very poised and gentle, which made others feel good about her. Compared to Shang Wenwen's coldness, Xue Ru preferred to be with her.

Upon seeing Qi Yi, Xue Ru's eyes flashed briefly before she smiled and said, "Hello, hello, Sister Tao Meng. We'll be spending time together in this secret realm from now on. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

After exchanging pleasantries for a few rounds, the two hit it off immediately, chatting like best friends who had known each other for a long time.

Of course, Tao Meng didn't leave Qi Yi's side while they were chatting. She noticed the girl's thoughts, but didn't expose them.

In unclear circumstances, if a sudden conflict occurs, it could very likely cause internal damage.

"Brother Qi Yi, this is all desert. If we stay here, we'll get thirsty very easily. Let's find a way out and see if we can get out of this desert."

"Okay, it's very windy and dusty here, be careful."

Qi Yi put his coat on her to block out the wind and sand, and Xue Ru looked on with some envy.

She leaned closer to Li Gang and said pitifully, "Senior, it's quite cold today."

"It's not cold! It's very hot down here in the desert. I'm almost sweating. I see you have a lot of sweat on your forehead too. Are you alright? Is there something wrong with your health?"

Xue Ru: ...

If this person hadn't been a well-known senior at their school, his words and actions today would have already provoked her.

"Haha, it is quite hot. I just said it backwards."

"I see. I thought you were sick. It's good that you're not sick. But you need to walk faster. You're slowing me down."

Xue Ru: ...

There was nothing she could do; the other three were already ahead, so she had to quicken her pace. Besides, even if she didn't, Li Gang had already run ahead, leaving her to walk alone at the back.

What an insensitive person!

Shang Wenwen walked at the front alone. She was fine just now, but now the sandstorm has picked up, and her hair is covered in dust, making it hard for her to open her eyes.

She didn't want to walk with these people, but they kept following her no matter which direction she went.

"Brother Qi Yi, why don't we go that way? I feel like there should be a water source over there." Tao Meng pointed in a direction.

Because it wasn't them following Shang Wenwen, but rather Qi Yi leading them to follow Shang Wenwen.

"The sandstorm is blowing from that direction. If we continue in that direction, we may encounter a storm."

What he said actually made a lot of sense, leaving Tao Meng speechless for a moment.

There's more than one way here; you can't go that way. There are other places, but she didn't want to ask, afraid that if she spoke up, it would offend him.

"Oh well!"

This time, Shang Wenwen didn't plan to walk in front. She intended to stop, let them go first, and then wander off in any direction.

She stopped, and the people behind her stopped too. Xue Ru and the other person then caught up.

"What's wrong? Did something happen up ahead? Why did you stop?"

"You guys go first."

After Shang Wenwen said that, she made way for them. Qi Yi glanced at her, then led Tao Meng away first.

Xue Ru asked with some doubt, "Aren't you coming with us? It's dangerous to walk alone in such a dangerous place."

Clearly, given the cunning in her eyes, this statement is not very believable.

"It's alright, you can go now! Don't worry about it."

After everyone had left, she turned and walked in the opposite direction.

"Brother Qi Yi, do you still like Wenwen? It's normal to like someone as outstanding as her. I won't force you. If you like her, I can let go."

"Don't overthink it. I will definitely keep my promise to you. I have nothing to do with him anymore."

Tao Meng didn't say anything more, because she understood what he meant. He agreed to be with her because of the promise they made when they were children, but those promises didn't belong to her; she had just stolen them.

She didn't know how long this stolen care would last, but she hoped it would last longer.

"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore, cough cough cough."

She coughed a few more times, her face already very pale. Qi Yi pulled her closer, blocking most of the wind and sand.

Xue Ru and Li Gang used their spiritual power to defend themselves.

"Why go through all this trouble? Can't we just use spiritual power directly? Didn't your school teach you how to use spiritual power?" Li Gang asked, his mind fixed on the matter.

Xue Ru didn't speak. She also felt that it was better for each person to use their spiritual power to leave. How could she make a move when the two of them were being so lovey-dovey?

Moreover, this man seems to like the woman who just left; you can tell from the direction he walked.

They were clearly going in the same direction as they started, but as they turned around, it seemed like they were going in a different direction, which made her a little unhappy.

Everyone comes here to train and improve their skills; continuing like this will only waste time.

"Senior Qi Yi, isn't this the wrong direction?"

The person has already disappeared without a trace; even if you go back, what can you find?

"You can go first."

Qi Yi's words silenced Xue Ru. If they continued like this and separated, Li Gang would definitely not go in the same direction as her, and it would be dangerous for her to be alone in the desert.

All we can rely on now is a little bit of team spirit.

"Alright, you guys don't need to lead the way anymore, I'll lead the way!" Li Gang, his temper flaring up, walked ahead, and no one knew what he pulled out.

That thing guided him in the right direction, and he walked ahead.

"Those who want to go out, follow along."

Xue Ru glanced at the two of them, then followed them.

Qi Yi hesitated for a moment, then followed with Tao Meng.

This time, he used his spiritual power to block the sandstorm blowing towards the two of them.

...

"Huh! How come it's just the two of us?" Feng Qing looked around and said incredulously.

"Yeah! How come it's just the two of us?"
