Xin Ling'er and Jiang Jiang entered the secret realm one after the other. When they landed, they were surrounded by other people from the Zixiao Sect, but there was no sign of Jiang Jiang.
Even except her, everyone else was not present.
The communication jade cannot be used in the secret realm. Although they brought a lot of positioning props, they still couldn't find any trace of Jiang Jiang.
"No, no, according to past practice, we should all be together."
Xin Ling'er was a little worried. The secret realm was full of dangers and there were demons lying in ambush to attack. Only if everyone gathered together could they ensure safety, but Jiang Jiang was missing.
She wanted to go find her, but was stopped by the senior brothers and sisters behind her:
"If Junior Sister Jiang doesn't leave, you're the most advanced among us, and Elder Nan Shang should have given us a lot of defensive items. If you go looking for her, we can't guarantee our own safety."
Yes, the mission that the master gave her was indeed to protect everyone.
"Junior Sister Xin, look, this is Junior Sister Jiang's life plate. It's brightly lit now. Maybe something went wrong during the transmission, and that's why she got lost."
Xin Ling'er took the lustrous jade token and saw the characters "Jiang Jiang" glowing with a gentle, steady, and bright green light. She gently stroked the surface of the token with her fingertips, feeling the steady fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from it, and only then did she feel a slight sense of relief.
"The fate plate is connected to the person's soul," the senior sister explained. "If she is injured, the green light will turn red; if she is in danger, it will flash violently. Now it looks like this..."
"She's safe, at least for now," Xin Ling'er replied, her brow furrowed. She stroked the cloud pattern on the edge of the jade token, a mark only worn by direct disciples of the Zixiao Sect. "But why can't the locator find her?"
Of course no one could answer her.
Xin Ling'er looked at the helplessness on their faces.
...To protect a group of people, or to find a person whose life is not in immediate danger, Xin Ling'er had made this choice countless times in her previous life.
She has been hailed as the leader of the righteous path since she first showed her talent, and she always makes choices that satisfy her teachers and fellow disciples.
But this time.
On the other side of the lever is her only friend...
"Junior sister..."
"Junior sister!"
The calls of people around her interrupted her thoughts.
Xin Ling'er looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar figure lying on the ground.
"Senior Brother Zou suddenly fell into a coma!"
"Ah! Why is he purple? What the hell is this?"
Her senior sister, who was from the same school as her, was also a little panicked: "We need to find a place to settle down quickly so that Junior Brother Zou can get treatment."
She pulled Xin Ling'er's hand, thinking that her master must have secretly given her a lot of magic medicine, which might be able to delay the disease. Just as she was thinking about it, she found that she couldn't pull this junior sister who was usually aloof but obedient.
She looked at Xin Ling'er with some confusion.
But I heard the other party's voice, which was so cold that it was almost indifferent, like a cold spring that penetrated my bones.
"Why should I save him?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, as if she had said something horrible.
Wei is a fellow disciple of ours... Wei's father is Elder Zou, the one who practiced refining magic. Junior sister, you'll always need him... Wei is the sect's appointed leader. Even the sect leader's personal disciple isn't as respected as you...
The reasons are almost endless.
But after meeting those clear eyes filled with sincere confusion, he suddenly fell silent.
