Zheng Dan shook his head slightly: "No, it's just that there are some things I need to tell you."
"What did you say?" Zu An was taken aback.
Zheng Dan leaned close to him and whispered, "Be careful, someone in the secret realm wants to kill you." After saying that, she smiled sweetly and turned back to her previous camp.
Seeing Zheng Dan leave, the people around breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if even she chose Zu An, then this guy's luck with women was simply too incredible.
Zu'an fell into deep thought. Someone wanted to kill me. Was it Shi Kun and his group? Xue'er was here this time too. She would probably make a move as well.
Zheng Dan, who was in the distance, noticed his solemn expression and a faint smile appeared on her face. The reason she gave the warning was that if Zu An was not strong enough, he would not be able to avoid the killing trap even if he was warned. It would not affect the outcome, and Shi Kun would not blame her.
But if Zuan manages to escape alive, he will remember this kindness, and it will deepen Zuan's affection for him.
Why not take advantage of a business that guarantees a profit?
It's a pity. This secret realm was originally a good opportunity to get close to him, but unfortunately the Shi family has set up a trap. I can't stay by his side, lest I be caught in the crossfire.
After the group assignments were completed, Jiang Luofu frowned at Ji Xiaoxi, but ultimately said nothing. She concluded, "The deeper you go into the secret realm, the greater the danger! Everyone must act according to their abilities and avoid blindly venturing in. What you can obtain in the secret realm depends entirely on luck, so there's no need to force it."
"Yes, Principal!" the crowd answered in unison, clearly in high spirits.
At this moment, the space behind Jiang Luofu's archway twisted and formed vortexes, as if a lake were trapped within them.
After a while, the "water surface" gradually calmed down, forming a semi-transparent door with a faint blue hue, from which a fresh and powerful energy poured out.
Everyone present was invigorated. If they could feel such a strong spiritual energy just outside, how could they not take off in the secret realm?
Jiang Luofu said, "The entrance to the secret realm has been fully opened. I wish everyone good luck on their journey."
Led by Lu De and Bai Susu, a group of people walked towards the entrance one after another. Shi Kun paused near the entrance, turned around to look at Zu An, and revealed a smug smile.
Zu An thought to himself, "This guy wants to kill me without anyone noticing in the secret realm. Can I take this opportunity to kill him without anyone noticing?"
At this moment, Chu Chuyan came to his side and whispered a reminder: "I noticed that Shi Kun looked at you strangely just now. Just in case, you should stay by my side after we enter the secret realm."
Zuan shook his head: "I'm one of the teachers leading the team, how can I let the students protect me? Don't I have any pride?"
Chu Chuyan frowned: "What time is it? Why are you still concerned about these things?"
"If you really want to help me, keep an eye out for the 'Vanishing Lotus'," Zuan said. More people means more strength, and the probability is always higher than if he did it alone.
"The Vanishing Lotus?" Chu Chuyan exclaimed in surprise, and finally said, "What do you want to do with it? Even if I found such a legendary treasure, I might not be willing to give it up to someone else."
"You're quite honest, huh? Fine, just pretend I didn't say anything." Zu An shrugged, not caring at all.
Ji Xiaoxi, standing to the side, became anxious: "Sister Chu, my father prescribed him a medicine, and all that's missing is the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace, which can cure his...his hidden ailment."
Seeing Ji Xiaoxi's embarrassed expression, Chu Chuyan finally reacted, glancing strangely at his lower abdomen, her jade cheeks slightly flushed: "Alright, I'll keep an eye out for you then, but don't get your hopes up too high, this thing has always only existed in legends."
Feeling incredibly awkward as soon as she said it, Chu Chuyan quickly turned and left.
"Oh, what did you say to your wife that made her blush?" Pei Mianman walked over curiously.
“It’s a secret, a secret that makes men more attractive.” Zuan shook his finger.
“You’re quite the character,” Pei Mianman smiled. “Alright, be careful not to lose your life in here.”
After saying that, he followed them into the secret realm.
After a while, only Zu'an and Ji Xiaoxi remained. As they approached the entrance, Jiang Luofu suddenly stopped them: "Take good care of her for me. If she loses even a single hair, you don't need to come back."
Zu An chuckled and said, "Beautiful Principal, you're too kind. I don't need Miss Ji's help at all. Besides, what you're asking of her is far too demanding."
Jiang Luofu snorted: "Are you an idiot? I told you to take good care of her and make sure she doesn't get hurt or bump into anything!"
Zuan: "???"

I saw some comments in the book review section saying that before the book was published, the author was writing two books simultaneously, updating three chapters a day at a fairly consistent time. However, after the book was published, the author only updates one book, updating only two chapters a day at an inconsistent time. It seems like the author has become less diligent after the book was published...
The reason is actually quite simple. When I was writing two books at the same time, the new book used up my existing manuscripts, so I could update at a fixed time. But since I've been writing two books for almost two months now, the existing manuscripts have been used up at an alarming rate, so now I don't have any manuscripts left, and the update schedule is no longer stable.
A reader suggested that I change my update time to 12 noon and 9 pm, so that the update time would be more stable. This reader is so clever, haha.
