After receiving guidance from her elder, Gu Yuxi immediately understood what she should do.
"Elder, I have something to take care of," Gu Yuxi said to the elder.
The elder knew perfectly well what Gu Yuxi was going to handle, and said with a smile, "Go ahead."
With permission from her elder, Gu Yuxi immediately flew to Liu Xiaoyuan's side. Liu Xiaoyuan, who was flirting with Chen Qiaoling, saw Gu Yuxi flying over and couldn't help but ask, "Yuxi, is there something you need?"
Gu Yuxi shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I just want to walk with you."
These words were tantamount to confessing her feelings to Liu Xiaoyuan, and Gu Yuxi blushed after saying them.
Chen Qiaoling, standing to the side, was also extremely surprised. She never expected Gu Yuxi to confess her feelings to Liu Xiaoyuan in front of so many people; it certainly took courage.
This was also beyond Liu Xiaoyuan's expectations, but Liu Xiaoyuan felt that it was really not easy for Gu Yuxi to confess to him, especially in front of so many people.
Women are generally more reserved than men, unless, of course, you're talking about outspoken girls. For a woman to confess her feelings to a man, she'll only do so if she's truly in love with him.
Faced with Gu Yuxi's confession, although it wasn't direct, everyone wasn't stupid; they could all understand the meaning behind Gu Yuxi's words.
"Then let's go together." Liu Xiaoyuan readily agreed. Why not have a beautiful woman by his side?
Chen Qiaoling was hostile towards Gu Yuxi's disturbance, as if someone had taken away something of her most important possession.
Throughout the journey, Gu Yuxi and Chen Qiaoling remained silent, each engaging in conversation with Liu Xiaoyuan. For instance, when Chen Qiaoling asked if Liu Xiaoyuan was tired, Gu Yuxi immediately offered to give him a massage.
In short, there was a strong tension between the two women.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know how to persuade them, because it was useless to persuade them alone; the two women would have to adapt to it on their own.
After a day of flying, we finally flew out of the Loess Plateau. In front of us was an oasis, a stark contrast to the barren landscape of the Loess Plateau.
Anyone would love an oasis, lush and green, representing vitality. But this Loess Plateau has no vegetation at all; it's like a dead land, lifeless and gloomy, giving people an uncomfortable sense of oppression.
Upon seeing the oasis, both Gu Yuxi and Chen Qiaoling were overjoyed and immediately ran towards it.
However, after running a few steps, both women stopped at the same time, because they were afraid that they might encounter some danger if they went in rashly.
This is an archaeological site, and it's outside, so we have to be extremely careful.
Liu Xiaoyuan and his group arrived at the place where the Loess Plateau meets the oasis, and stood there without moving, wondering whether they should take another step forward.
Everyone felt this was abnormal; this was the Loess Plateau, and just one step ahead was an oasis—it was too eerie.
Although everyone present was a cultivator, the more cultivators there were, the more afraid they were of death. Therefore, upon seeing this scene, no one dared to take a step forward and enter the oasis.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced around and saw that there seemed to be no hidden dangers in the oasis. However, some dangers are often hidden deep within.
"Xiao Yuan, what should we do?" Chen Qiaoling asked Liu Xiaoyuan, who was now the pillar of support for everyone.
Looking at the boundless oasis before him, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to be the first to stick his neck out, since he hadn't come for the treasure anyway.
"Let's wait and see. If things don't work out, we'll head back home. What do you think?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked Chen Qiaoling.
"Then why aren't we looking for the magical treasures in these ruins?" Chen Qiaoling asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Is a magic weapon more important than life? Besides, look how long we've been in here, haven't we found any magic weapons?"
Apart from Liu Xiaoyuan obtaining a Fire Pearl, the others really gained nothing and almost died of thirst inside.
After hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Chen Qiaoling felt that they made sense. Compared to the magic weapon, her own life seemed to be more important.
So everyone stood there motionless, and no one dared to step into the oasis.
Everyone was in no hurry, and Liu Xiaoyuan was even less anxious. Since he wasn't there to find treasure, he figured if they didn't go in, he wouldn't go in either. Liu Xiaoyuan found a nice spot to lie down and started flirting with Chen Qiaoling and the others. Time passed quickly.
Liu Xiaoyuan could wait, but the other cultivators couldn't. They were anxious and felt that staying here all the time wasn't a solution.
Now that everyone's already inside, waiting here any longer is just a waste of time.
So, a few of the bolder cultivators immediately discussed it and decided to rush into the oasis as a vanguard.
The cultivators nodded and entered the oasis together, proceeding cautiously forward.
The cultivators standing outside stared wide-eyed at the inside, not even daring to blink, as if afraid of missing something.
The few cultivators who led the way walked about a kilometer into the oasis without encountering any danger. Therefore, it seemed that the others were also safe.
So the cultivators immediately rushed in.
Once inside the oasis, Liu Xiaoyuan found the air much fresher and couldn't help but take a few more breaths.
Looking at this vast oasis, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know where to go. It was all the same here, an endless oasis, even bigger than the grasslands.
After entering the oasis, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Xiaoyuan, as if Liu Xiaoyuan were a compass, and they would go wherever Liu Xiaoyuan pointed.
Seeing that all the cultivators were looking at him, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Everyone, stop looking at me. This is my first time here too. What's the use of you looking at me?"
After hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the cultivators turned their gazes away.
However, no one knew what to do with this vast oasis.
Finally, some sects just went straight for the luck-boosting event, not caring about anything else, and led their sect members to fly forward.
Once the leader took the lead, the other sects followed suit, because this was an ancient ruin, and if they were lucky enough to find good magic weapons and techniques, they would make a profit.
If you're with other people and you encounter something good, a fierce battle is inevitable. So it's better to stick to your own sect and act alone.
With this in mind, the sects basically dispersed, each scattering in a different direction.
