Everyone searched the surroundings, trying to find Xu Yuehuai's whereabouts. The magic seal dissipated after hitting the trees and Xu Yuehuai disappeared. Su Chen sat on the spot, sharing the same doubts as everyone else, but he preferred to believe that Xu Yuehuai had been defeated. "What kind of senior sister is she? Her strength is nothing special. Even I could defeat her, let alone protect the sect. Moreover, she dared to target our Senior Sister Song. Doesn't she know what kind of person she is!"

Seeing that Xu Yuehuai hadn't come out yet, the man became extremely arrogant and domineering, his face filled with disdain. He didn't take Xu Yuehuai seriously at all.

While everyone was discussing and announcing Xu Yuehuai's fate, Xuan Chi remained silent, staring intently at the spot where Xu Yuehuai had disappeared. He was certain that Xu Yuehuai was not dead.

His gaze remained fixed on Xu Yuehuai without ever leaving her, so he knew perfectly well whether she had been injured or not. He just couldn't figure out where Xu Yuehuai had gone. He kept staring at the spot where Xu Yuehuai had disappeared, waiting for her to reappear.

"Today, I am the victor here. If I hear anything bad outside, don't blame me for being ruthless and taking action against you. Watch your mouths! You know what you should and shouldn't say, right?" Su Chen was very unwilling for everyone to talk about his embarrassing moment at the beginning, and since he couldn't think of a better way, he used this method that he himself thought was quite good.

For a moment, no one dared to speak. Everyone had their own thoughts, but at this moment, keeping quiet was the best way to protect themselves.

Just as everyone was preparing to go out and check on Xu Yuehuai, Xu Yuehuai, who had disappeared from the spot, reappeared.

Xu Yuehuai only had some minor injuries, none of them fatal. The fact that she was still injured meant that she hadn't been expelled from the secret realm. Su Chen looked at the woman who had reappeared before him, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"Impossible! How could you escape from the Lotus Seal! You were clearly dead just now, and suddenly you appeared here. Did you tamper with this secret realm?" Su Chen said, looking around the secret realm as if it were some kind of monster.

Xu Yuehuai didn't speak, but simply drew her sword and approached Su Chen. Su Chen, whose mental state was somewhat weakened, was no match for Xu Yuehuai and was subdued in a few moves.

Xu Yuehuai rested his sword on his nose, his eyes filled with the disdain one would show to a tiny creature.

"You lost." Xu Yuehuai said those three words calmly.

The words struck Su Chen's heart, and for a moment, those who supported Xu Yuehuai began to cheer.

"Yay! I knew Senior Sister wouldn't lose so easily!"

"I'm so happy that Senior Sister is still here! Senior Sister killed this thing! Let her get out on her own."

The people around were making a fuss about it, but Xu Yuehuai didn't listen to a word. She just kept staring at Su Chen.

After a cold laugh, Su Chen burst into laughter, looking up at the sky and howling. He felt like a complete fool at that moment, being played like a fool.

Su Chen was unwilling to accept defeat. He still believed that he could beat Xu Yuehuai, but not now.

When He Qi and the others saw the sudden reversal, their faces darkened, and they turned and left without waiting for Su Chen.

Su Chen was in a daze and didn't know how he got back. After returning, he collapsed on his bed, his mind filled with images of how Xu Yuehuai had treated him during the day.

Xu Yuehuai wasn't as petty as he had imagined. He had thought that since he had lost, Xu Yuehuai would take the opportunity to mock him, since he hadn't been very polite at the beginning. According to reason and rules, Su Chen should have been taught a lesson.

But Xu Yuehuai was different. When Su Chen admitted defeat and turned to sheathe his sword, he showed no intention of making things difficult for him.

Su Chen turned around and saw that the others who had come with him were already gone.

After Xu Yuehuai finished, she glanced at the people watching the show and instructed them, "Everyone, go do what you're supposed to do, don't crowd around here."

Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed, except for Xuan Chi, who remained standing in place, his eyes fixed on Xu Yuehuai.

Xu Yuehuai felt the intense gaze and looked up. Seeing it was Xuan Chi, she was somewhat surprised. "What's wrong?"

Xu Yuehuai went straight to the point and asked directly.

Xuan Chi seemed surprised that she would pay attention to him, and was somewhat at a loss for words, but he quickly composed himself. He looked at Xu Yuehuai with a hopeful look in his eyes, "I want to know where you went just now? Why did you use that move?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai glanced at the person in front of her with curiosity, while no one else thought to ask her the question.

She didn't intend to hide anything and said, "In the space, the magic seal's attack power decreases after it attacks something. So I deliberately ran behind the tree just now to take advantage of this characteristic, so that less damage would hit the tree. When it gets close to me, I will dodge, thus forming a closed loop."

That was what Xu Yuehuai thought at the time, but she wasn't sure if her method would work. However, she still gave it a try, and it didn't disappoint her.

Xuan Chi wasn't interested in prying into other people's privacy. After getting the answer he wanted, he raised his hand and bowed to Xu Yuehuai, saying, "I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister."

Everyone around had left, and no one remained. Only Xuan Chi heard what Xu Yuehuai said.

Xu Yuehuai waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

Her injuries were still burning painful. She exchanged a few words with Xuan Chi and then left the secret realm.

Even after leaving the secret realm, the pain in my body did not subside for a while.

Shangguan Xi happened to be heading this way. When she saw Xu Yuehuai, whose face was slightly pale, she looked puzzled and quickened her pace to walk to Xu Yuehuai's side. "Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

As Shangguan Xi asked the question, he reached out and helped Xu Yuehuai to sit down to the side.

After taking two pills to calm her emotions, Xu Yuehuai looked at Shangguan Xi and said, "I'm fine. I just used too much spiritual energy in the secret realm and got a little injured. I haven't recovered yet."

Worried that Shangguan Xi would be anxious, she quickly explained after regaining her composure. Normally, such a situation would never occur, but the power of this lotus seal was extraordinary; most of Xu Yuehuai's injuries were caused by that thing.
