As evening fell, a paper crane carrying a message flew leisurely out of Xuanhuo Peak.

The next day, True Immortal Xieyang rushed to Xuanhuo Peak and earnestly explained the danger level of the Youle Valley Secret Realm. The Youle Valley Secret Realm Trial is open to cultivators below the Core Formation stage. Wenzhu is currently at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and in front of cultivators at the late-Foundation Establishment stage and the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, he is like an ant compared to an elephant.

Last time, he had wanted to persuade Bi Xie not to let Wen Zhu participate in the trial. After all, it would be such a pity if such a good cultivation prodigy were to perish in Youle Valley!

Unexpectedly, Bi Xie not only registered Wen Zhu, but also registered her mortal disciple. Isn't this ridiculous?

Bi Xie listened to Xieyang Zhenjun's rambling for a while, then smiled and pushed a plate of spirit water pears over, "Great Ancestor, are you thirsty? Have some fruit to soothe your throat."

"Feng Xie, did you listen to what I said?" Xie Yang Zhenjun continued to earnestly persuade him with a dark face, "It's not easy for you to take in disciples. If both of them are killed this time, Xuanhuo Peak will be deserted again."

“Great Ancestor,” Bi Xie drawled, “Feng Xie knows what’s going on; Zhu’er and Wuyou will be fine.”

"How can you be so sure?" asked the True Lord of the Setting Sun, his voice filled with worry.

"Because they are my disciples, Feng Xie, I have faith in my disciples, so please don't worry, Your Majesty. I noticed that Your Majesty has grown a few more gray hairs, so I will give this bottle of Black Ganoderma Pill to Your Majesty." Bi Xie stood up and dismissed the guests.

Master Xieyang glanced at the bottle of Black Ganoderma Pills, his face twitched, and finally he sighed and said, "As long as you know what you're doing, I won't interfere anymore. The secret realm will open in seven days, and we need to set off three days in advance. You should let your disciples prepare."

Bi Xie responded and watched as Master Xieyang left before returning to the Glazed Pagoda.

"Master, even True Lord Xiyang knows to worry about me, don't you worry about your disciple?" The boy's clear voice sounded from the left, his aggrieved tone sounding more like teasing than coquettish.

“Wuyou’er, eavesdropping is a bad habit,” Bi Xie turned to look at the boy who had appeared at the corner of the flower hall, his eyebrows twitching.

"I was watching the cultivation technique from upstairs the whole time. My master didn't notice me. The soundproofing in this glazed pagoda isn't very good either. I just happened to hear it," the boy said innocently.

"What kind of cultivation technique? You've been looking at it these past few days." Bi Xie glanced at the rose-red booklet again with suspicion. She knew the big boss's cultivation level; why would he need to practice mortal martial arts?

"Master will know in time," he said, his bright eyes curving into a half-smile. The boy's black hair had grown longer, reaching his hips, and was loose and untied behind him, every movement captivating.

Bi Xie's heart pounded; she had a feeling that Wu You was brewing some grand conspiracy!

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Early that morning, Bi Xie received a message from the sect, and the day had finally come to set off for the Youle Valley Secret Realm.

After receiving the message talisman, the peak masters of each peak brought their disciples to the main square of Cuiwei Peak. True Monarch Huaiming did not come. It was said that he had gone out to pick Bodhi flowers half a month ago. Venerable Chongyu also did not appear. He had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and was in seclusion to consolidate his realm after receiving the pills sent by True Monarch Xieyang.

Countless cultivators stood in the vast rectangular plaza, creating a truly magnificent sight.

Bi Xie glanced at them casually. These disciples were mostly inner disciples from various peaks. There were also some outer disciples, but they were extremely rare. The cultivation levels of these cultivators were also uneven. Most of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage, while some were still at the Qi Refining stage.

After the sect leader, True Lord Xieyang, delivered an inspiring speech, all the Core Formation cultivators and Nascent Soul elders summoned their flying artifacts, carrying their disciples as they transformed into streaks of light and left the Golden Light Sect.

Bi Xie spotted Jian Shui Zhenren in the crowd. She was wearing a light, moon-white gauze dress embroidered with large, light pink lotus flowers, a departure from her usual alluring demeanor, and instead exuded a somewhat aloof air.

She also looked at Bi Xie, her gaze filled with hatred, as if she wanted to shoot a thousand arrows through his heart. Clearly, the humiliation of that night was etched into her memory.

The location where the Youle Valley Secret Realm opens is in the northern part of the Floating Light Continent, which is the opposite of the Golden Light Sect. Therefore, despite traveling day and night, the Golden Light Sect was still the last to arrive.

"True Lord Xieyang, True Lord Xiaoyi, we have been waiting for you for a long time." True Lord Chengguang greeted them with a smile, but when he saw Bi Xie, he snorted and ignored him completely.

Bi Xie was inexplicably rebuffed. He pursed his lips and remained silent. Just as he was about to lead Wu You and Wen Zhu to find a futon to sit down, a clear male voice sounded from behind him.

"True Lord of Wind Evil, True Lord of Setting Sun, True Lord of Night One."

Bi Xie paused, turned around, and saw Wu Zhan Zhenjun, whom she hadn't seen for decades, walking towards her with a flushed face. His gaze darted away when they met, but after a moment of hesitation, he still walked over persistently.

She's so easily embarrassed, just like when we first met.

Bi Xie sighed for a few seconds, then paused slightly after sensing the spiritual energy around the man. In just ten years, he had already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He shouldn't be called Wuzhan Zhenren anymore; he should be called Wuzhan Zhenjun.

"Zhan'er, where is Fairy Chenxi? Why did you come back alone?" Cheng Guang Zhenjun glanced behind the man and asked with a frown.

“Great Ancestor, Fairy Chenxi, she, she... she lied to me and said I twisted my ankle, and then she tried to take off my clothes. I, I was scared, so... so I ran away.”

"You little rascal! You just ran away like that?" Cheng Guang Zhenjun looked at the young man, whose face was red with disappointment.

"Great Ancestor, I don't like Fairy Chenxi, and she doesn't genuinely want to spar with me. She's no match for me. You want me to spar with her, isn't that just asking me to hit a woman? I... I can't do it..."

"A blockhead!" Cheng Guang Zhenjun stamped his foot and added, "A piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved!"

Bi Xie couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the interaction between the two.

"Ding! Host out of character, 10 points deducted."

Deducting 100 points at a time is too much; these 10 points are like mosquito bites, and Bi Xie is not bothered at all.

Upon hearing her laughter, Wu Zhan Zhenjun's handsome face flushed bright red. He looked at her with a hint of bewilderment, seemingly unsure of what she was laughing about.

Today he was dressed in a blue brocade robe with a gold belt around his waist. His attire was simple yet luxurious. Bi Xie had seen many different kinds of men and knew how to read faces. Wu Zhan Zhenjun had sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose and thin lips. His clear gaze was free of any impure thoughts. He was definitely a very gentle and understanding man.

Such a pure and simple man, like the clear water of a lake rippling under the spring sun, is truly a rare gem!

"Hmph, I said back then that True Lord Fengxie would definitely regret it in the future, but it's too late for regrets now. Zhan'er is already a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and there are countless female cultivators who want to become Zhan'er's Daoist partner. My Zhan'er will not go back to her old flame. True Lord Fengxie, don't try to attract Zhan'er's attention!" True Lord Chengguang said angrily.
