When Yan Baibai and his group finished their meal and went downstairs, they found the shopkeeper. Everyone spent spirit stones to buy some of the tea they had just drunk. The shopkeeper smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
The fact that the tavern can sell spiritual tea of this level, and the price is within the acceptable range for everyone, shows that the owner behind the tavern is not an ordinary person. Fortunately, they did not make a fuss.
By the time they left the tavern, only two incense sticks had passed. It was dusk, and the streets were slowly becoming bustling. If everyone had continued to follow their pre-determined route, they would have missed the sect's bed inspection.
"What should I do now?"
Reading looked at the sky, frowning. It seemed that everyone knew that today's plan could not be completed.
"I looked at the map. Not far ahead is the largest library in Wuzhi Mountain, which my senior sister has always wanted to visit. How about we go there first today, and then continue to visit places we haven't been to tomorrow?" Yan Baibai suggested.
Everyone looked at each other, and then fixed their eyes on Shi Lidan. As the captain of the team, everyone relied on him to make the decision at this moment.
"I think it's okay. If we go back now, we will definitely be caught by Senior Brother Mu for training. We have already trained for a month. It's time to relax." Shi Lidan whispered his decision to his teammates.
Then, everyone nodded in unison, looking at Shi Lidan with starry eyes. Their eyes showed that they didn't want to go back, because Shi Lidan was not exaggerating, because if they went back, they would definitely be arrested by the captain and trained.
The captain was Mu Jian, a disciple from the Yanjian Sect's main peak and Lu Wuxiu's senior. He was usually a stern man. He had participated in the sect competition ten years prior, and perhaps because he was very dissatisfied with his sect's second-place finish, he seemed determined to avenge his previous defeat after becoming captain this year. For the past month, all the disciples participating in the competition had been subjected to his strict teachings, which were truly unbearable.
After getting off the boat at Wuzhi Mountain today, everyone quietly observed and found that, as expected, the team led by Mu Jian had no intention of going out to relax. They were all pulled back to the resting place of Yanjian Sect. Without a second thought, they went to train again.
So, a group of people were about to head towards the center of the city. But when they saw Song Yu next to Yan Baibai, they hesitated to move.
"Ahem!" Shi Lidan faked a few coughs, then looked at Song Yu: "Fellow Daoist Song, thank you very much for inviting me to dinner today. How about we get together again after the sect competition?"
"You're too polite, Fellow Daoist Shi." Song Yu smiled and bowed, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Shi Lidan's words at all.
"When are you leaving?" Lu Wuxiu didn't want to beat around the bush. He had been wanting to say this since he left the restaurant.
"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Song." Shi Lidan quickly took over the conversation, "I know you're a friend of Junior Sister Yan Baibai, but you're also a disciple of another sect, and the competition is coming up soon. I think if you hang out with us right now, it might have a negative impact on both sects. After all, there's so much talk..."
Song Yu also knew that what he was doing was inappropriate, but he really didn't want to leave now. He looked at Yan Baibai.
"Baibai, can you spare some time to be alone with me? I still have a lot to say to you."
Yan Baibai also wanted to ask about Song Yu's current situation, so he nodded and looked at his teammates.
"Brother, please go to the library and wait for me first. I'll come over later."
Shi Lidan and others thought about it and nodded.
"Junior sister, come here quickly."
"Be careful" was too embarrassing to say in front of Song Yu. Then everyone walked towards the city center, except Lu Wuxiu.
"I'm worried about leaving you here alone."
Lu Wuxiu crossed his arms in front of his chest, then avoided Yan Baibai's puzzled gaze and spoke in a somewhat stiff voice.
"Friend Lu, don't worry. I won't let Yan Baibai fall into danger." Song Yu said immediately.
"Hmph!" Lu Wuxiu snorted disdainfully, and said darkly, "I don't know who was so useless a year ago that put Senior Sister in such a dangerous situation. Do you know what the consequences would have been if I hadn't arrived in time? How can you have the nerve to say such things now!"
"You mean to say that it was you who saved Yan Baibai a year ago?"
Song Yu frowned and looked Lu Wuxiu up and down for a while. Because he had fought with Lu Wuxiu before, he had a good idea of Lu Wuxiu's strength.
"Just you?"
Song Yu knew very well that Lu Wuxiu could never be a match for Mo Li.
"What do you mean!" Lu Wuxiu couldn't stand it anymore. Song Yu's eyes seemed to indicate that he didn't want to believe that he had the ability to rescue Yan Baibai.
"Junior brother, come here first." Yan Baibai grabbed Lu Wuxiu's hand and said as he pulled him a little further away from Song Yu, "Junior brother, Song Yu and I really have something to discuss. I won't be in any danger. Can you wait for me at the library first?"
"Senior Sister, do you think I'm being unreasonable?" Lu Wuxiu stared into Yan Baibai's eyes and asked seriously.
"No, that's not what I meant." Yan Baibai was stared at by Lu Wuxiu's aggrieved eyes, and she explained in a panic: "Lu Wuxiu, I really didn't mean that. My matter is a bit complicated. Song Yu also saved my life. I don't want you two to quarrel again at this time, especially because of me, you know?"
