"Huh? Isn't this description of the water when we came in?" Yun Jianyue said in surprise. Back then, they came in from the deep pool of the Demon Clan's royal tomb and then appeared in the Feather Abyss. The water there had no buoyancy at all, and even a feather could sink. Even a being as powerful as the Demon Emperor almost capsized.
In retrospect, they were fortunate to have been imprisoned by the Demon Emperor in his sleeve-shaped universe; otherwise, given their cultivation level, they would probably have perished as soon as they entered the secret realm.
Zuan glanced into the distance and said, "Judging from the direction of the water flow, it should be flowing towards Yu Yuan."
He subconsciously turned to Yan Xuehen beside him and said, "Lend me a hair."
Yan Xuehen's eyes instantly turned murderous, and Zu An finally realized what was happening:
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, lend me a hair."
Yan Xuehen glared at him, but still gently plucked a strand of hair and handed it to him.
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +233 +233 +233...
Yu Yanluo, standing to the side, looked strange. Why did Azu ask her for her hair instead of asking me for it?
Moreover, Yan Xuehen gave it to me directly. It felt like the two of them were cooperating so naturally. Am I overthinking it?
However, her attention was quickly drawn to Zu An's actions. He gently placed Yan Xuehen's hair into the river, and to everyone's surprise, the hair sank straight to the bottom without stopping for even a second.
The Fairy Tree Romance
It's important to know that due to surface tension, human hair can often float on water, let alone the hair of a grandmaster like Yan Xuehen, whose hair is soft, smooth, and even finer than silk.
"It seems to be from the same source as the water from Yu Yuan before." Zu An's expression was solemn. It really was the legendary Weak Water. This water had no buoyancy at all. Such a wide river would cut off the way forward. He didn't know how they could cross it.
"Can we fly over?" Yun Jianyue suggested. "Let's not fly too high, so we won't run into those terrifying birds and gales. Flying close to the water should be enough."
Zuan nodded; it was indeed a feasible method: "We can give it a try."
Yan and Yun were originally going to compete to be the first to go, but Zu An stopped them: "If you were in your prime, I wouldn't compete with you, but I'll go now. I'm tough and can withstand any danger."
Yan Yun and the other two women hesitated for a moment, but remembering that he always had a variety of skills, they didn't hesitate and said, "Then be careful."
Zuan nodded. After arriving at the water's edge, he was quite cautious and first used the jade cong to communicate with the nearby creatures.
As expected, it was completely silent; there were no fish, shrimp, or other creatures in the Weak Water.
Furthermore, when he used the Blue Fly's skill, he found that he was also unable to get close to the river in front of him. It was as if the water in front of him was not water at all, and he could not sense the presence of water elements at all.
"This is really a ghost story." Even though he was usually oblivious, he was a little nervous at this moment.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo came to his side and gently held his hand to comfort him.
Seeing this, Yun Jianyue couldn't stand it anymore and turned to Yan Xuehen beside her to complain, "I've been fed a mouthful of dog food..."
But then he noticed that Yan Xuehen looked somewhat lost, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Yan Xuehen awkwardly turned her face to the side. Why was her heart in turmoil just now? Was it because she saw other women being intimate with Chu Yan's man?
Hearing Yun Jianyue's words, Yu Yanluo blushed slightly, embarrassedly let go of his hand, gave Zu An a few instructions, and then took out her paintbrush, applying ethereal and transparent runes to his body to help him become more agile and nimble.
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue nodded in approval. Although her cultivation was not as high as theirs, her skills complemented theirs perfectly and could serve as a top-notch support.
Hearing their praise, Yu Yanluo felt a little embarrassed: "These are just basic runes. I have some knowledge of them because I learned to draw. The most skilled person in this field is my senior brother. He can use runes to achieve all kinds of magical effects. He is much more skilled than me. Back then, Master even said that in terms of runes alone, he might not be able to compare with my senior brother."
"The academy's senior brother has always been mysterious. It was rumored that among the disciples who served as the chief priest, Sword Immortal Xiao Yao had the highest talent. However, after his unexpected death, he should be the strongest now," Yun Jianyue said with emotion.
Yan Xuehen shook her head: "Xiao Yao has never been as good as him. He's just too low-key and mysterious. Not many people have actually come into contact with him."
"You, Baiyujing Temple Master, are quite something. In the capital, you talk to learned scholars and have no commoners among your acquaintances." Yun Jianyue snorted, but she knew that her status made it easier for her to access these core members of society. Unlike herself, she was treated like a rat crossing the street every time she entered the capital, hated by everyone.
The thought of this difference made her increasingly unhappy.
Yan Xuehen raised her eyebrows. She clearly had no intention of showing off, but this vixen was really infuriating. She didn't want to argue at this time and distract Zu An, so she changed the subject: "I heard that he recently took on a female disciple. It is said that she has good aptitude in the art of runes and will most likely receive his true teachings."
"The daughter of Lord Xie of Mingyue City is intelligent, virtuous, and well-educated." Yu Yanluo nodded. As the head of the Yu family, she naturally knew this information.
“Bright Moon City, isn’t that Xiao Anzi’s hometown?” Yun Jianyue was taken aback. Her disciple Qiu Honglei had gone to Bright Moon City on a mission, so she remembered it. As the three women were talking, they suddenly looked at Zu An, their eyes filled with suspicion.
Zuan was a little annoyed. What did they take me for? Did they think I was some kind of person just because I was a pretty woman?
