Eleven's alert voice sounded, his eyes fixed on the door.

Xiao Ruyu was awakened by him and came to consciousness instantly.

【Where is the person? 】

Following his gaze, I saw seven or eight people outside the temple gate, their figures were somewhat unclear under the pouring rain.

Eleven drew his sword, placed Xiao Ruyu behind him, and signaled everyone to be prepared to defend against assassins.

The moment the group walked in, Eleven's sword was placed on the leader's neck.

His cold voice sounded, and he exerted slight force on his hands.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

The leader's legs went weak and he was immediately at a loss.

"Please spare us, sir. We were sent by Doctor Yang."

"Lord Yang specially sent us here to pick up the little princess."

Hearing the master's name, Xiao Ruyu poked his head out from behind.

"Did the master really ask you to come?"

Eleven did not relax his vigilance, but put down his sword and protected Xiao Ruyu behind him.

"Do you have any evidence? If others knew about this, they could use this as an excuse to deceive the little princess."

The leader did not dare to slack off and quickly took out a fan from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ruyu.

"Imperial Doctor Yang said that if you take out this fan, the little princess will understand."

Eleven took the fan for her, checked it to make sure there was no hidden weapon, and then handed it to Xiao Ruyu.

Xiao Ruyu opened the fan. The handle was carved from jade bamboo and had the word "Yang" clearly engraved on it.

She recognized it at a glance; it was the token that her master had mentioned in the letter.

[Eleven, let them in quickly, this is Master's stuff.]

Eleven then waved his hand, asking everyone to put away their weapons and welcome the group in.

After the leader thanked them, he called the others to follow in.

Seeing that they were all wet, Xiao Ruyu ordered people to bring out the servants' clean clothes.

The others were flattered and hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you, little princess."

Half an hour later, the rain gradually stopped, and taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone immediately set off on their journey.

With Doctor Yang's men leading the way, Xiao Ruyu and his group soon arrived outside the camp.

Doctor Yang was recording today's disaster when a familiar voice came from behind him.

“Master!”

He quickly turned around and caught Xiao Ruyu who was running towards him.

"You're so impatient. Be careful, Princess."

Doctor Yang picked her up and spoke with a doting look on his face.

Xiao Ruyu rubbed his face, looking obedient.

[I really want to see Master.]

[But Master, how did you know our whereabouts? I didn't even reply to your letter saying I would come.]

Doctor Yang tapped her nose and told her the truth.

"It's the Queen. She sent a letter a few days ago saying that the princess is on her way."

[My mother is so kind. Not only did she not blame me for running away without permission, she also told Master to pick me up.]

When Xiao Ruyu learned that the letter was sent by Empress Duan, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

[I miss my mother so much. I haven’t seen her for several days.]

She rubbed her eyes, feeling aggrieved.

Eleven looked at Xiao Ruyu silently from the side, his brows furrowed, and his heart seemed to be tied into a ball.

When Doctor Yang saw both the master and servant acting like this, he clicked his tongue.

"Okay, it's not a life-and-death separation, don't be sad, little princess."

"When Master left before, I never saw the little princess being so pretentious."

Xiao Ruyu lightly hit his chest with her little fist. Master is always so sharp-tongued!

Her eyes moved away and fell on the disaster record on the table.

The densely packed records were shocking, so she quickly jumped down to check.

Doctor Yang met Xiao Ruyu's gaze and sighed deeply.

“This matter is more difficult than we thought.”

"Well, I'll take you there when the rain stops."

Xiao Ruyu agreed and followed Doctor Yang towards the outside of the city.

After walking a few kilometers away from the county town, we arrived at the woods outside the city.

This is a dense forest. The towering trees block half of the sunlight, making the light inside even dimmer.

Xiao Ruyu noticed that the trees on the roadside were marked with directions.

Doctor Yang began to explain.

"The situation here is very complicated, so Master has marked the way in."

After walking a few hundred meters along the marks, the scene in front of me changed drastically.

The original trees were uprooted, leaving an entire area of ​​land empty.

There is a spring in the middle of the ground, but no one knows where the water comes from.

Following closely, there was a circle of complex dark red symbols around it.

The color was extremely horrifying, and no one knew what it was made of.

Xiao Ruyu was stunned by the scene in front of her. She squinted her eyes and looked at the entire formation.

Memories of her past life came to her mind and she suddenly remembered.

Use blood as strategy, springs as formation, and the five elements reversed.

What is in front of you is the long-lost rain-summoning formation!

[Master! This is something from the previous life, why is it here! ]

Xiao Ruyu cried out in surprise, her heart in turmoil.

In the previous life, there was spiritual power in the world, so naturally there were also many formations.

But the formation that should not have appeared in this world actually appeared in front of the two of them in this way.

She was a little bit unbelievable.

Doctor Yang sighed deeply, his face looking extremely solemn.

"Master doesn't know what the connection is, but what is certain is that the continuous rainstorms in the south of the Yangtze River are due to this formation."

【Let me find out! 】

Xiao Ruyu walked over cautiously, and Doctor Yang reminded her to be careful behind her.

She drew out a stream of spiritual power from her wrist and let it penetrate into the formation, wanting to see who had set up the formation.

The rich spiritual power hit the formation and was instantly bounced off, turning around and bouncing back in her direction.

Eleven quickly picked her up and turned away.

Xiao Ruyu was shocked and realized something was wrong.

[This formation has been enchanted by someone. If you use spiritual power to forcibly break it, you will inevitably suffer backlash! ]

She stared at the spring in the middle with a heavy face. If she forced it, there would be danger.

[Master, this formation is not so easy to break. We still have to think long and hard.]

Xiao Ruyu looked at Doctor Yang and motioned for him to come over to discuss the matter.

Doctor Yang looked at the formation worriedly, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"This thing is too powerful. I wonder if the princess has any good solution."

He knew that Xiao Ruyu had spiritual power, so he wrote a letter to Xiao Ruyu.

But even she couldn't do anything about it, and the situation suddenly came to a stalemate.

Xiao Ruyu stared at the formation in a daze for a long time.

[This formation is not without solutions. I remember reading an ancient book that recorded it.]

[But it was too long ago, and the thing is in the bookcase of Medicine King Valley, and I can't get in right now.]

Doctor Yang also fell silent. His memory was fragmented and he couldn't remember what to do.

Even the air fell into silence, and everyone fell silent.

Just when everything was silent, a clear and somewhat lingering sound was heard.

"puff--"
