"Yes, Lord Lingshen!" The leaders of all major forces bowed their heads in agreement.
"Lord Lingshen, can you enter the Ten Directions Ancient Ruins?" At this time, Feng Tiancheng, the patriarch of the Phoenix clan, asked cautiously.
With Feng Tiancheng's start, the leaders of various major forces also joined in the conversation.
"Lord Spirit God, the team we sent to clear the black water from the Thousand Spirit Forest accidentally entered the legendary Ten Directions Ancient Ruins. It's been over a month since they entered the Ten Directions Ancient Ruins..."
"Lord Spirit God, please rescue them!"
If the young master of the Celestial Clan, Shen Ce, had not only sent one clone over at that time and was able to learn the ins and outs of the matter, they would probably have thought that the teams of the major forces had met with an accident.
The spirit god looked at them without changing his expression.
Her eyes were so cold that they unconsciously shut their mouths.
"Your mission is to defend this place to the death! We cannot allow even the slightest crack in the seal. As for those who are dragged into the Ten Directions Ancient Ruins, they can only rely on their own abilities to get out."
"Shifang Ancient Ruins is safer than here. What are you afraid of?"
These words made the leaders of the major forces look ashamed and they all lowered their heads.
…
Shifang Ancient Ruins.
In the Shangsanxu maze, Chen Yan had just defeated a defender and obtained a new maze puzzle.
Just as she walked down from the ring, she suddenly noticed a pair of eyes looking towards her.
She seemed to sense something and looked over. What came into her sight was a young man in a golden brocade robe. His handsome and charming face was covered with an unwavering smile.
Chen Yan raised her steps and walked towards him.
The young man was also walking towards Chen Yan.
"Sui Zi." Chen Yan looked at the person who came and called out.
Jin Suizi raised an eyebrow with interest, lowering his voice slightly, "Yanzi."
When Chen Yan heard the word "Yan Zi", his brows twitched slightly.
Jin Suizi stared at her beautiful face, feeling an indescribable complexity in his heart. Admittedly, he was amazed by her beauty, but for some reason, he wanted her to become an ordinary person.
That way, she wouldn't attract so many people's attention.
Jin Suizi stared into her eyes and asked, "Why did you look for me in Zhongjingdu earlier?"
"I'll return the Honghuang Pearl to you." Chen Yan said, and took out a ring containing four thousand Honghuang Pearls from the storage space and handed it to Jin Suizi.
Jin Suizi lowered his eyes and glanced at the storage ring.
He chuckled, "It's just four thousand Primordial Pearls, I'll give it to you. Why don't you also give me the Scarlet Flame Dagger, because I like it very much."
"Do you like it very much?" Chen Yan was a little puzzled. This Red Flame Dagger was obtained by her from Guiyuan Continent. The weapon level was very low compared to the spiritual weapons in the Honghuang Realm.
Jin Suizi smiled and nodded.
Chen Yan said, "This Red Flame Dagger is of great significance to me and cannot be given away."
"It's of great significance? Was it given to you by someone else?"
"no."
Jin Suizi felt relieved when he heard her answer.
As long as it wasn't given by her former lover, that would be fine.
Jin Suizi raised his eyes, wanting to ask clearly, "Why is this Red Flame Dagger so meaningful to you?"
Chen Yan said slowly: "This is my first weapon here."
Jin Suizi sighed softly, "Yanzi, am I your friend?"
Chen Yan raised her eyes and looked at him.
Jin Sui Zi felt a little guilty when she stared at him like that.
"yes."
"I really like this dagger. Can't you bear the pain and let it go?" Jin Suizi looked at her pleadingly.
Chen Yan was silent for a moment before answering.
"Just keep watch."
"Thank you, Yanzi." Jin Suizi smiled.
He glanced in the direction of the competition arena, and then said to Chen Yan: "Since you have obtained the puzzle here, let's go."
Chen Yan glanced at him sideways, "We?"
Jin Suizi said, "Let's collect the maze puzzle together."
Chen Yan's expression was indifferent as she declined politely, "Our goals are different."
Jin Suizi's smile faded slightly, and he stared at her seriously, "So what is your goal?"
"Become stronger."
"So, you want to compete with all the defenders?" Jin Suizi cleverly guessed her thoughts.
Chen Yan was a little surprised to see that he reacted so quickly.
"Um."
Jin Suizi said softly, "I can accompany you."
Before Chen Yan could reply, Jin Suizi said, "Yan Zi, I've been waiting for you in the Shifang Ancient Ruins for a long time. Now that we've finally met, you're trying to get me to leave? How are you trying to embarrass me, your friend?"
"Also, I haven't received a formal apology from you for deceiving me with a fake face before. Yan Zi, are we really friends like this?"
His words were full of accusations, causing Chen Yan to fall into a long silence.
She doesn't actually have many friends.
"Sorry." Chen Yan looked at him.
Jin Suizi looked down at her and somehow felt that she was a little cute at this moment.
The next moment, he quickly looked away, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
He coughed lightly, "I forgive you for lying to me."
Chen Yan: “Okay.”
Jin Suizi said, "Let's go, let's go to the next competition arena."
Chen Yan no longer refused Jin Sui Zi, because she felt that Jin Sui Zi had stayed long enough and would leave.
The two stood side by side, talking as they walked.
Many times, it was Jin Suizi who took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"I've been in the maze for several days now, and during this time, I've collected more than fifty pieces of the puzzle. How about you?"
Chen Yan replied: "I have collected more than thirty pieces of maze puzzles."
As they walked, Jin Suizi spoke casually.
"Yanzi, what kind of person is that demon clan master?"
When Chen Yan heard the words ‘your Excellency the Demon Race’, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she said calmly, “A good man.”
"Specifically? Like, what's his personality like?"
"Why do you ask?"
Chen Yan paused slightly and looked at Jin Suizi with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Jin Suizi noticed the change in Chen Yan's mood, pursed his lips lightly, and felt a sour and bitter feeling in his heart. He tried his best to sound calm and nonchalant, "They all said that you had a relationship with him."
Chen Yan fell silent.
Seeing this, Jin Suizi took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Yanzi, I was wrong. I shouldn't have mentioned your sad story."
Chen Yan shook her head, "I just thought of something else."
Jin Suizi's eyebrows darkened slightly, and he smiled and changed the subject, "Where are your friends?"
"They should have come to the maze as well."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man's clear voice called out.
"Yan Yan! Yan Yan!"
Chen Yan turned around and saw the red-haired boy running towards them with a look of surprise.
Chen Yan couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene.
Jin Suizi followed her gaze and saw the red-haired boy with bright eyes and white teeth, looking very ambitious.
