But Li Yirou thought about it and felt that she couldn't do it. Could she really be prepared to risk her life at all times? She would only dare to give it a try if she had even a 50% chance of success. She was in this world to live, not to die... She couldn't see through this obstacle for the time being, so she had to put it aside for the time being.
"Let's go eat?" Li Yi sheathed his sword and ran his fingers over its blade, seemingly admiring it. But Li Yirou could sense a faint sense of life. Perhaps a spirit had been born within the sword.
With a "hum" sound, the sword body shook. Li touched it again and again before carefully putting the magic sword into the scabbard.
Should I remind him to hide this treasure so that no one could covet it? Li Yirou thought about it, but she didn't say anything. She wasn't sure if everyone could sense it. If she leaked her high-level skills, and the other party's cultivation was higher than hers, she didn't want to take the risk.
"I'm here to call you. Let's go!" Li Yirou boarded the paper crane and, after dining with Li Yi, returned to her cave to cultivate. She still had her protective concealment array activated, but she used her spiritual sense to secretly monitor the other three's cultivation, only occasionally opening and closing it, as if she was quite comfortable with the environment.
Li Yirou also followed suit. When she sensed the five elements' spiritual energy, she would open the formation. She would only set up the formation when she was concentrating on learning those high-level skills.
.
After a month, Li Yi would occasionally teach her some new sword techniques he had found in Wuji Palace and exchange a few moves with her.
The sword techniques she obtained were similar in grade to the ordinary ones sold by Hu Qianyan. After all, she wasn't an inner sect disciple, so the grade wasn't high. Fortunately, there were a wide variety of them, and Li Yirou would borrow any that had strong attack power to learn from.
But today, after finishing his meal, Li Yi looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and that little expression revealed all that was on his mind.
Li Yirou immediately guessed the reason. She really didn't care. They were never on the same level to begin with, and the gap would gradually widen. Just like how, even without Han Yuzhen's threat, no matter how well she got along with the Feihong team, she would still separate from them and move on to higher ground.
On the other hand, she can accept the fact that others can no longer care about her and act with her with a normal mind.
Another reason was that she didn't really care. They were just playing together, having fun, and there was no need to get upset about not being able to travel together anymore; it was something that couldn't be changed.
"Brother, do you have anything to say?" After Li Yiru had dinner with him and returned to the dormitory, she took the initiative to speak before the other two came back.
"I..." Li Yi was actually very sorry. Originally, Fang wanted to act alone, but he thought that Fang was a nice guy and they were of similar age, so they could be friends, so he took the initiative to chase him and asked to go with him.
But now, he was invited by someone to explore a secret realm that required a minimum of the fifth level of Qi Refining to enter. Fang Ye's cultivation level was not high enough, so he couldn't take him along. But he really wanted to go to this secret realm.
It was unclear how long it would take to enter the secret realm; it might take a month or two to return. He hadn't told Fang Fang he was leaving, and he even wanted to ask him to take care of the wind chime tree. Although he would pay him more than the market price, he still felt very embarrassed, as if he had betrayed a friend.
"I'm going to the Kuanglan Secret Realm and can't take you with me, so..." Li Yi spoke haltingly, obviously very sorry.
"It's okay, my cultivation is not good enough. Don't worry, I will help you take care of the trees. If you need to plant some, I will find time to plant some for you." Li Yiru smiled at him without any estrangement or displeasure.
Li Yi looked into her eyes carefully, without seeing a trace of falsehood, "I will pay you..."
"Come on, let's not talk about this, brothers. If you do this, do you want me to pay you for your guidance?" Li Yirou remained calm, but pretended to be angry. People can be extremely hypocritical and even appear sincere.
Li Yi was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He put his arm around her shoulders and became a good brother.
Unexpectedly, Li Yiru dodged her and said, "Sorry, I'm not used to people touching me." She said the same thing to Ren Fei, but it didn't work this time. The other party had a higher cultivation level than her, and was a little shorter than the boy he transformed into. He hung on her like a monkey.
"Are you still angry?" He really had the mind of a young boy. At this moment, he felt like making trouble and climbed up Li Yiru to hook her body slightly.
...boring. But Li Yirou was really scared, so she stretched out her spiritual sense to examine it carefully. She didn't see any poisonous insects brought out by Li Yi, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she said to him seriously, "No, I really hate it when people touch me." She struggled a few times, and Li Yi finally let go, turning his head to look at her: "Are you sure you're not angry?"
Li Yirou didn't want to get entangled with him, so she made her position clear and moved on. "I'm going to practice." After saying that, she was about to draw the curtain, but then she remembered something. "When are you going to the secret realm? With whom?"
"Tomorrow... with Yu Maolu and Huairen..." Li Yi felt embarrassed again, as if isolating her, and explained, "We are fellow disciples and live in the same cave, so I feel more at ease."
"Really? Do you need to plant trees?" Although Li Yirou didn't show any abnormality on the surface, she was a little upset this time. There were four people in one cave, and she was excluded without knowing it. Li Yirou didn't do it because of any roommate friendship, but this action of three people gave her a great visual shock. She was really weak.
But she quickly told herself not to feel burdened, as long as she persisted and did not give up, she would always have the opportunity to catch up.
By then, she could team up with more powerful people, or even venture out on her own without fear. She really didn't need to be sad; she just needed to keep getting stronger. Li Yirou quickly composed herself and faced the neglect calmly.
Everyone, including Li Yiru herself, overlooked one thing, which was that she had only been in the cultivation world for less than a year.
Li Yi didn't bother to be polite with her this time. "Just help me plant one every day."
"I'll give you half of the sea beasts I brought back." Li Yi made a promise. After spending a few days with him, Li Yiru found that he was a man of his words. He was not willing to lie and would keep silent about things he didn't want to say.
Knowing that he was sincere, Li Yirou politely declined, "No need, just give me some advice when you have the chance." This was what she really wanted.
"No problem. I'll teach you some moves when I get back." Hearing him say that, Li Yirou was even happier. Teaching moves was a very important part of learning swordsmanship. Improving swordsmanship through combat practice was best done with someone who was more skilled than you, as the guidance during combat would be more effective.
"Hahaha, it's a deal. Come back safely~" Li Yirou smiled at him brightly and closed the bed curtains.
