"No problem, leave it to me."
Zhu Ji made the final decision.
Mingyue patted Zhuji on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Young man, you have a bright future."
What the heck is "young man"?
Zhu Ji was speechless. He was supposed to be a handsome young man, how could he be called "flirtatious"?
"But wait a minute, Jingyao, come here."
Jingyao pointed to herself, making sure she hadn't misheard, and walked over.
Mingyue shoved the person into a square with a slap, then smiled at the other two, "Let me take you out."
“She, no, you…” Zhu Ji’s hands were extremely delicate and well-maintained, and her raised orchid fingers trembled with shock.
Xie Si wasn't a talkative person, but he didn't understand what Mingyue meant by this move either. "She's your apprentice."
"So let her gain some experience, we'll just go outside and wait."
Mingyue took the lead, and Xie Si and Zhu Ji exchanged a glance and silently followed.
After leaving the secret realm, Zhu Ji was still somewhat dazed. "It's that simple?"
"Or do you want to grill some skewers inside and then come out?"
Mingyue pulled out a string of candied hawthorns from somewhere, took a bite of one, and felt like she had forgotten something. Oh well, forgetting means it's not important.
A-Yue sat cross-legged on the ground, refusing to believe that her guardian had really forgotten her!
The truth is, her guardian, Mingyue, had indeed forgotten her, and completely forgotten her. When the deep-sea secret realm was suddenly flooded by seawater, Ayue remained standing still.
When Jingyao came out, she was startled to see Ayue sitting in the middle of the floor. She quickly grabbed Ayue's wrist and started to run away.
Zhu Ji gazed at the sea, which was experiencing a violent storm, his unusually serious face now bearing a solemn expression. "What's happening in the Deep Sea Secret Realm?"
Xie Si also took two steps forward, his voice deep and somber, "It seems someone has inherited the secret realm's legacy."
“No one else has come out except us.” Zhu Ji subconsciously looked at Mingyue, who was peeling shrimp. “Master Mingyue, your disciple and the child next to you haven’t come out either. Shouldn’t we go and rescue them?”
"They will come out."
Seeing that Mingyue showed no sign of worry, Zhuji eagerly sat down next to her, "Could it be that you gave them a life-saving magic weapon?"
"No."
"So you're so at ease?"
"What can we do if we're worried? Prepare for a feast?"
Zhuji: "..."
Thankfully, he didn't have a mentor who could cause such heartache.
Dark clouds hung low over the sea, with flashes of lightning visible amidst the dense cloud cover. The waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, each sound louder than the last.
Zhu Ji called out to Xie Si, "Xie Si, is your apprentice inside too?"
Xie Si nodded. "Mm."
"How about we send a message to the sect leader?"
The Starry Sky Immortal Gate did not send anyone to the Deep Sea Secret Realm when it opened, but it also did not indicate that sect members could not come. The unusual nature of the Deep Sea Secret Realm this time must have prompted the sect to come and explore.
Seeing that the two had no objections, Zhu Ji released a spirit crane, which walked back and forth for a long time, unable to come up with any solution, and then sat anxiously next to Mingyue.
Mingyue tried to move away from Zhuji, but when she saw Zhuji grilling fish, she silently sat back down.
An hour later, the sect leader of the Starry Sky Immortal Sect led the other elders to the destination, and representatives from other sects also arrived.
Xie Si stepped forward and explained the situation. The sect leader's voice was somber, "The rescue operation still needs to be discussed."
"The danger of the Deep Sea Secret Realm has long been known throughout the ancient times. Even the Starry Sky has not sent anyone here, yet you masters dared to lead your disciples in."
"Let's forget about the rescue. It's just that we lost two juniors, one of whom had a mixed spiritual root."
