"Senior Sister, how are you?"

Jiang Xin looked at the injured Feng Qingxue and asked with a worried expression.

"It's alright, I've already taken the medicine."

Feng Qingxue's face was deathly pale from blood loss. Qi Feng looked at her pale face and stepped forward, saying, "Qingxue, let me bandage your wound."

Jiang Xin's expression immediately turned displeased: "No, men and women shouldn't touch each other. If anyone should be bandaged, it should be me!"

As he spoke, he took out gauze and other items from his spatial storage. This time, Qi Feng didn't refute anything.

The disciples not far away looked at Feng Qingxue with self-reproach on their faces when they saw that she had been injured because of them.

"Senior Sister, it's all our fault. If we hadn't been so stubborn, Senior Sister wouldn't have been hurt by the Death Mantis."

"Senior Sister, I'm so sorry!"

"It's all our fault..."

"Yes, yes, it's all our fault. Why don't you punish us? We will never say no."

Everyone crowded around, and by then Jiang Xin had finished bandaging her wound. Feng Qingxue glanced at everyone and said calmly, "I am your senior sister. I can't just stand by and watch you lose your life."

"Alright, let's leave this here and get out of here!"

After saying that, everyone returned to the original forest. Lan Zhao turned around, glanced at the barren plain behind her, and her eyes flickered a few times. Yes, she even had a divine beast, so it didn't seem so strange that she had a divine artifact.

There are still two days until the ranked tournament, so everyone went off to train instead of lingering.

Watching them walk away, Ji Jiuying led Feng Yu out of the space. Little Phoenix jumped a few times on Feng Yu's body, and a deep voice came. Little Phoenix returned to Ji Jiuying's shoulder.

Feng Yu slowly opened his eyes. The glaring sunlight made him instinctively shield his eyes with his hand. He slowly sat up, and at that moment, a voice came from behind him.

"woke up?"

"Get up quickly if you're awake."

Feng Yu turned around and saw Ji Jiuying looking at him with a half-smile. Thinking of something, he quickly looked at his arm that had just been tainted by the venom, but there was no trace of it. Feng Yu froze on the spot. He then used his mental power to check his body again and froze on the spot once more!

The excruciating pain was gone, and the poison in his body had vanished without a trace. His gaze fell on Ji Jiuying. Could it be her? She could even cure the poison of a level nine giant python! Her medical skills must be extremely high.

"Are those two giant pythons dead?"

Ji Jiuying nodded. A look of horror flashed in Feng Yu's eyes. She had actually killed two level-nine giant pythons all by herself. He was secretly shocked. He had a feeling that she would definitely be among the top ten in this year's ladder competition.

"Did you cure the poison in my body?"

Do you think there's a third person here besides you and me?

A hint of doubt flashed in Feng Yu's eyes. As far as he knew, to make an antidote for poisoning by a level nine giant python, one had to use blood from someone related by blood. Could she really be his second uncle's illegitimate daughter, his sister?

Looking into her eyes, he felt like he'd seen them somewhere before. After hesitating for a while, he decided to ask her about it.

"Are you... my second uncle's illegitimate daughter?"

Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly. If she were drinking water right now, she would definitely choke from his words!

She stood up and looked at Feng Yu's gaze: "No."

"Then how were you able to cure the poison in my body?"

Feng Yu also stood up. Ji Jiuying was only up to his chest. She didn't like looking up at others when she spoke, so she turned her back to Feng Yu and said coldly, "I have my own way of curing it. Also, I'm not helping you detoxify so you can question me here."

"From now on, stop following me."

As she spoke, she walked towards the depths of the desolate area. Feng Yu stepped forward and stopped her, saying, "Lanxi, don't go any further in."

A flash of cold light appeared, and Feng Yu felt a chill on his neck. Feng Yu froze on the spot again, not because he knew that her strength was above his, but because he met her cold and sharp eyes, which were chilling and frightening.

"Feng Yu, don't think I wouldn't dare kill you. I saved your life, and if you continue to follow me, I won't hesitate to take it back!"

As she spoke, the sword that had been pressed against Feng Yu's neck vanished instantly. She turned and left, and watching her figure recede into the distance, Feng Yu's brows were filled with worry.

Only after her figure disappeared into the desolate landscape did Feng Yu sigh softly, look at the mess on the ground, and turn back into the forest.

Xiao Yichen, who had been hiding in the shadows, narrowed his eyes. His guess was right; it really was that girl who caused the commotion.

It seems this year's ladder tournament will be very exciting. Thinking about this, he was already starting to look forward to it.

Two days passed quickly, and the annual ladder tournament was held today.

The huge square was already packed with people.

Feng Yu glanced at the crowd, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. Why hadn't she returned yet? Had something happened?

Among the crowd, Lan Zhao was also worried. Their eyes met, and they unconsciously walked past the crowd to get closer.

"Lan Zhao, Lan Xi hasn't returned yet?" Feng Yu asked in a low voice.

Lan Zhao shook his head. "I haven't seen her at all since she went on her training!"

As they were talking, Lan Zhao noticed his unusual behavior and thought of the feathers she had found on the desolate plains. Lan Zhao lowered her eyes.

"Although I've never met her, I know she's been to the desolate plains..."

A look of surprise flashed across Feng Yu's eyes. How did he know? As if sensing his expression, Lan Zhao told Feng Yu everything about the desolation. Feng Yu was stunned and stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.

It turns out that Senior Sister and the others all went to the desolate plains, the same place they were in. Judging from Lan Zhao's words, he had no idea that he and Lan Xi were there. But how could so many people not have noticed them?

What surprised him most was that they were all drawn there by the divine artifact.

Thinking of how she single-handedly defeated two level-nine giant pythons after he was poisoned, the answer suddenly dawned on her; it seemed she was uncovering more and more secrets…

"There's still an hour before the competition starts, so I'll head back to the Immortal Peak Mountains first."

Without a second thought, Feng Yu replied. Lan Zhao narrowed her eyes. Why was Feng Yu suddenly so concerned about Lan Xi?

At this moment, Jiang Xin blocked Feng Yu's way: "Brother Yu, the competition is about to start, where are you going?"

"Xin'er, I need to go to the Immortal Peak Mountains."

"Brother Yu, are you crazy? What time is it and you still want to go to the Immortal Peak Mountains! If you don't come back when the competition starts, you'll be considered to have forfeited!"

Jiang Xin frowned, looking at Feng Yu in disbelief, and tried to dissuade him.
