Chapter 95 Secret Realm 2 Commander Guo isn't just a talkative, sentimental man...

Commander Guo wasn't a talkative or sentimental person. She was always incredibly busy, and even when she wasn't at the clan school, she was always in a rush. After giving a brief speech to boost the morale of her students, she immediately left with them.

After everyone left, only Xin Rong and Xie Lingliu remained.

Xin Rong sighed, looking aggrieved: "Sigh, why didn't I put in a little more effort and get myself a qualification?"

After he finished speaking, no one paid any attention to him.

Xin Rong raised her head and looked around blankly.

No, how come he's the only one left?

Xie Lingliu was also a very proactive person. After Commander Guo left, she immediately changed her clothes and quietly left the inn when no one was paying attention.

Although Heaven only gave her a morning, not enough time for her to work carefully, she did not come away empty-handed. She found out when the Gongshi clan was going to the Qingyuan Secret Realm.

She's right in front of Jinling City in line; if she's quick on her feet, she'll definitely be able to catch up!

Flying magical artifacts are prohibited within the city, so Xie Lingliu rushed out of the city, flipped onto her flying sword, and traveled along the city wall before entering Yicheng at the next city gate.

The entrance to the Azure Kite Secret Realm is located on the edge of Yicheng City, which will greatly increase her speed.

The guards at the city gate only saw a streak of light flash past them, but before they could stop it, the figure had vanished, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

The two guards exchanged a glance.

"This is a very sensitive time, we shouldn't just let people in."

"But the city gate's magical artifacts did not sound their horns."

"That's strange. The whole city is under martial law today. Are there still people from Yicheng going in and out of the city?"

"Maybe we're seeing things? Maybe it's actually a bird?"

"Sigh, there's no other way to explain it."

Even though she was mistaken for a bird, Xie Lingliu did not slow down at all after entering the city. When she finally saw the entrance to the Azure Kite Secret Realm, she was out of breath, her cheeks were flushed like the evening glow, and strands of hair clung to her face. She looked quite disheveled, which was rare for her.

"Who goes there! No unauthorized entry is permitted today!"

Xie Lingliu's voice trembled: "I'm here to find someone." She saw Chu Xingjin in the distance and raised her arm high, waving, "Xingjin! It's me!"

Hearing the familiar call, Chu Xingjin turned around.

Not far away, a woman appeared mature and beautiful, her cheeks flushed, her voice tender and affectionate, as if she were shy upon seeing her lover.

It turned out to be Xie Lingliu.

Gong Shiyu gave Chu Xingjin a push: "Lord Chu, your confidante has arrived."

Although Chu Xingjin explained that this was his fiancée's sister, the expression on his face didn't lie.

The experienced Gongshi Yu could tell at a glance whether Xie Lingliu's feelings were genuine or not, but the Chu ruler was definitely moved.

However, her heart was only slightly moved; she could only be a close confidante, not a romantic partner.

Men are normal.

Chu Xingjin ran quickly towards Xie Lingliu: "Sister Lingliu, what brings you here?"

Xie Lingliu's physical fatigue had eased considerably, but she still feigned exhaustion: "I was very worried when you left without saying goodbye, so when I heard there were traces of you in Yicheng, I came to check on you."

She covered her chest with both hands: "I was thinking that if I waited for you to come out of the Azure Kite Secret Realm, I didn't know how long it would take, so as soon as I heard the time you entered the secret realm, I made a special trip to see you."

After showing weakness and making overtures, the next step should be...

Let's look forward to it!

Xie Lingliu raised her head, her eyes filled with tender affection: "Xingjin, I'll wait for you to come out of the secret realm, and then I'll throw a welcome dinner for you."

Chu Xingjin felt a warmth in his heart. Neither his fiancée nor his chosen soulmate had ever shown him such care. Deeply moved, he blurted out, "Only Sister Lingliu would care for me like this, unlike Xie Jiaoyue, who only knows how to arrogantly humiliate me with spirit stones! This time in the Qingyuan Secret Realm, I'll definitely teach her a lesson and make her kneel on the ground to see her place!"

The tender affection in Xie Lingliu's eyes disappeared, and she lowered the hand that was covering her chest.

What's wrong with this person? How could they say such a thing?

You can insult her, but you can't insult their Sister Jiaoyue! Sister Jiaoyue is beautiful, kind-hearted, and generous. How could you, a future Immortal Venerable, possibly humiliate her?

It's not like I'm some kind of immortal being.

Immersed in his own fantasy world, Chu Xingjin was unaware of Xie Lingliu's indifference and was still fuming. When he looked up, Xie Lingliu, who had come like a gust of wind, had also disappeared like a gust of wind.

He rubbed his eyes. Could it be that everything that just happened was just his hallucination?

Xie Lingliu ran even faster than before, striding along a completely different road from where she had come. In less than two minutes, she bumped into the Jinlingcheng team, who were also moving at full speed.

Division Commander Guo squinted: "Xie Lingliu? What brings you here? Has something happened?"

She continued talking without stopping. Time waits for no one; they couldn't afford to stop.

Xie Lingliu ran so fast she was out of breath. She didn't have time to pay attention to Commander Guo and ran straight to Xie Jiaoyue's side, continuing to run alongside her, calling out, "Jiaoyue, Jiaoyue."

She felt her physical strength was nearing its limit, so she cut to the chase: "Chu Xingjin is in the Gongshi clan's group. He will also be going to the Qingyuan Secret Realm. This brainless person holds a grudge against you and wants to trip you up in the Qingyuan Secret Realm."

To make a long story short, but personal emotions were still included.

Who can remain calm when faced with someone slandering a generous benefactor?

Seeing that Xie Lingliu was almost exhausted, Xie Jiaoyue handed her a bottle of Qi-boosting pills: "Take it easy, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After saying that, she gently supported Xie Lingliu and injected some spiritual energy into Xie Lingliu's body, relieving the unbearable pain in Xie Lingliu's dantian and slowing down Xie Lingliu's speed so that she could no longer keep up with their high-speed travel.

You can get some rest.

Xie Lingliu looked down at the Qi-boosting pill in her hand, then looked up at her cousin's departing figure. A shy and joyful expression appeared on her face, even more so than when she saw Chu Xingjin.

How could there be such a good person as Jiaoyue? If she were a man, she would definitely fall in love with Xie Jiaoyue without hesitation.

Alas, Chu Xingjin is truly unworthy of our Jiaoyue.

Gong Shiyu naturally knew about the grudges between the Chu ruler and Xie Jiaoyue. He knew that Xie Jiaoyue used spirit stones to humiliate the Chu ruler and bribed her teachers with spirit stones to steal the first place that should have belonged to the Chu ruler several times, preventing such a talented person as the Chu ruler from fully displaying his talents.

Therefore, when Chu Xingjin suggested teaching Xie Jiaoyue a lesson, Gongshi Yu immediately nodded vigorously and, along with the disciples of the Gongshi clan, echoed Chu Xingjin's request.

"Lord Chu, I've already inquired. They're entering the Azure Kite Secret Realm right behind us, so the distance between us won't be too far." Gong Shiyu unfolded a map that everyone in Golden Spirit City dreamed of owning, pointing to several points on the map. "We're here, and they entered from roughly this location. There are only these three points around here with valuable spiritual items. Those people from Golden Spirit City will most likely go to the closest one first, and then to this one. They might not go to the third one. It's best for us to prepare in advance at the second point; this is the most suitable place for an ambush."

The analysis is clear, logical, and well-organized.

Chu Xingjin raised an eyebrow: "Did you come up with this analysis?" Although this was his first staunch supporter, Chu Xingjin felt that the other party's brain wasn't very sharp.

Gong Shiyu was smug: "The analysis by my subordinates is essentially the same as my analysis."

No problem, it fits Gongshi Yu's mind perfectly.

Chu Xingjin and his group quickly arrived at the designated spot, which was a patch of small, inexpensive white flowers. Hidden among the flowers was a cave that was both conspicuous and inconspicuous; it could be discovered with a little careful inspection.

These semi-concealed caves clearly contain treasures, and if they lay an ambush inside beforehand, it would be very easy to catch them.

Chu Xingjin and his group exchanged glances and, taking advantage of the fact that the people from Jinling City had not yet arrived, immediately began to make arrangements to prepare for an ambush.

In the dark cave, it was so quiet that the excited heartbeats of the Gongshi clan could be heard.

They were people who usually followed Gongshi Yu around, often showing off their power and enjoying the feeling of being superior and bullying others.

The thought of that stunningly beautiful woman from Jinling City sobbing in front of them in a little while made them feel exhilarated!

After squatting for fifteen minutes, the crowd's excitement began to dissipate.

Why are the people from Jinling City so slow? It's been so long and not a single one has shown up. Shouldn't people from such an unsophisticated small town be incredibly excited and running around everywhere as soon as they arrive at the Qingyuan Secret Realm?

How come I'm acting even calmer than them?

"They're here, they're here," Gongshi Moyan, a disciple of the Gongshi clan, whispered.

Everyone perked up and listened intently to the sounds outside the cave.

The noise was deafening; it sounded like those male disciples from Jinling City.

"Wow, there are so many little white flowers here."

"What little white flowers? Those are poplar flowers. I've read about them in ancient books before. It's the season for poplar flowers now, and they taste incredibly delicious. If you stew them with fresh fish, they'll be so delicious that your eyebrows will fall off. Come on, let's pick some together."

The people inside the cave laughed.

No wonder they're from a small town; they're so ignorant. A few poplar flowers make them so happy.

Soon, after they've been picking poplar flowers for a while, they'll discover this cave and will inevitably enter out of curiosity.

To lure them in, they even brought out several magical artifacts to increase the spiritual energy within the cave.

Only a quarter of an hour had passed, and those people from Jinling City were still picking poplar flowers.

No, these lousy flowers are practically useless. What are you going to do with so many of them? Are you out of your minds after picking them for fifteen minutes?!

If you keep collecting, your storage rings will probably be full. What will you be able to do in the secret realm after that?

A cheer of excitement came from outside.

“I just asked Jin Wan, and he said we have enough to go back on and we’ll make a whole fish feast for Sister Jiaoyue! Let’s go and gather the next spiritual item for stewing chicken.”

A series of hurried footsteps approached, and a group of people left happily.

The members of the Gongshi clan: ...

Are you guys out of your minds?! What the hell is on your heads besides food?!
