"Wait, what's going on?"
Jiang Yuan originally just wanted to check the messages on the smart device, but he was surprised to see the school's forum in a fleeting glance.
"What's wrong? Did the school release a notice about the Divine Realm?" Gu Anlei got out of bed.
"That's not all!"
Jiang Yuan posted the information from the forum. The top post was an announcement about the Divine Realm, which was almost identical to what Gu Anlei had said last night. However, the second post made the two of them look uneasy.
“We were photographed last night!” Jiang Yuan shrugged and said speechlessly.
Gu Anlei suddenly realized something, quickly wrapped herself in the blanket, walked to the window and looked down. Sure enough, there was already a group of onlookers waiting below.
"Oh no, someone's blocking the door!" Gu Anlei was equally speechless. Although she had deliberately let slip a little information when she came back, she hadn't expected such a big fuss.
"Looks like this is going to be confirmed. A disciple of a sage and an unknown nobody drinking and staying out all night—is this a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality?" Jiang Yuan joked. He wasn't afraid of any rumors; they were all trivial matters to him.
"Am I going to ruin my reputation? I should have sent you to my house. That way, people wouldn't say that I, a girl, offered to let you stay overnight. Instead, they would condemn you for being shameless!" Gu Anlei was still struggling with the question of whose house to send you to.
"Forget it, let's just go! To the Central Heaven Realm. Anyway, the pilgrimage route has been postponed, so I'm not under any pressure," Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly.
"Then I'll put a headscarf on first!"
Gu Anlei was about to tear Jiang Yuan's bed sheet when Jiang Yuan quickly stopped her.
"No need, I can teleport!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand and cut through space. With the help of his newly comprehended spatial rules, he could teleport thousands of meters without any problem.
"You're a monster! You've only been doing this for a short time and you've already mastered spatial rules! Besides, shouldn't rules be controlled by gods?"
After becoming a disciple of a sage, Gu Anlei's discernment improved considerably.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm keeping you here if you're not leaving!"
"Of course I'm leaving! I'm in your house now, you have to take responsibility for me!"
"Then get up quickly! You're wrapped in a blanket, trying to take your bed on a trip?"
"Don't rush me, I'll send a message to Lin Siyin and the others."
The two used spatial cutting to escape the center of public opinion unharmed, and then immediately headed to the Central Heaven Realm.
At this moment, the entrance to the Central Heaven Realm was already overcrowded with people, and young powerhouses from various races kept emerging. The Heavenly Prefecture of China was simply unable to withstand such a surge, and in order to preserve its strength, it had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the Central Heaven Realm and instead use all its forces to guard the safe zone.
The saying "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight" perfectly describes the current state of China.
"Have you finalized the members of your team yet?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"It's confirmed. The other four are Lin Siyin, Xie Chuan, Meng Xin, and Ji Jingyun." Gu Anlei said the names one by one, then patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and asked again, "You're really not coming with me?"
“There are exactly five of you!” Jiang Yuan replied. If he were with Gu Anlei, he would inevitably expose some things during the battle. Now that Gu Anlei belongs to the Companion God camp, there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble.
“Ji Jingyun isn’t very keen on teaming up with us, so I can talk to her and have you join instead. That way, we’ll have two guys on our team, and it’ll be easier to distribute the dirty and hard work!” Gu Anlei joked.
"How dare you say that? So men are only good for doing dirty and tiring work, huh?" Jiang Yuan said with a wry smile.
"You scumbag, I let you sleep with me for nothing last night!" Gu Anlei muttered in dissatisfaction.
"hehe!"
Jiang Yuan ignored her and said, "You wait here for Lin Siyin and the others. I have some things to take care of."
Even though he was still groggy from the night before, he still had to ask Gong Suxin if she was alright. After all, he had faced Zhong Litong directly last night, and Gong Suxin must have been under a lot of pressure. Although one was in the open and the other in the shadows, giving them the advantage, Gong Suxin's divination skills were not as good as Zhong Litong's astrology skills, and he was worried that something might have happened to her.
"Keep in touch once you're in the Central Heaven Realm," Gu Anlei called out from behind.
"Let's talk about it later!"
Jiang Yuan left quickly, and only after finding a quiet place did he dare to take out the Tortoise Shell Immortal and ask it to help him contact Gong Suxin.
As for why he didn't enter the Central Heaven Realm, firstly, Gong Suxin's age was definitely still too old, and he worried that one of them being in the Central Heaven Realm and the other in the outside world would prevent them from establishing effective communication.
With the help of the Tortoise Shell Immortal, he finally connected with Gong Suxin after a long time.
"Sister, are you alright?" Jiang Yuan asked anxiously, not hearing Gong Suxin's voice.
"call!"
All that came from the other party was a long sigh.
"Sister Suxin, were you injured last night?" Jiang Yuan could hear the exhaustion in her voice. It was exhaustion of the soul, far beyond just the symptoms of not getting enough rest.
Gong Suxin did not answer immediately. She took a long time to adjust her breathing before continuing to communicate with her mind: "It's alright. Last night, my senior sister used the Hetu Luoshu. In addition, I was too close to you, so it took a lot of effort for me to be able to contend with her."
"Sister Suxin, we owe you so much this time!" Jiang Yuan knew that without Gong Suxin's help, he would have no secrets from Zhong Litong.
"You weren't bad yourself either; you disturbed her mind several times along the way." Gong Suxin tried to appear cheerful, but due to her injuries, she still seemed weak and listless.
"By the way, I'm heading to the Central Heaven Realm right now. Sister Suxin, will I still be able to contact you through the Heart Knot after I enter the Central Heaven Realm?" Jiang Yuan asked.
“Yes, it’s possible, but it will be difficult to contact you.” Gong Suxin paused for a moment after saying this, and then said helplessly, “Jiang Yuan, I can’t maintain contact with you right now. I’ll contact you again when I’ve recovered.”
