Qin Weiyu lowered her head in silence.
Seeing the tense situation, the young man said, "Master, please don't be angry. Perhaps Senior Sister is indeed tired, or..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Weiyu suddenly flew close to Chunyu Zhenren, his wooden sword aimed straight at his vital points.
This action was completely unexpected, and Chunyu Zhenren was caught off guard. Qin Weiyu pressed forward relentlessly with sharp moves, as if she were facing not her master but her mortal enemy.
Chunyu Zhenren gradually showed signs of fatigue and fell into a disadvantageous position.
"The boy beside her shouted anxiously, 'Senior sister, what are you doing? Stop it right now!'"
Qin Weiyu's offensive continued unabated, and after several hundred moves, she finally subdued Chunyu Zhenren, asking, "Who are you? Where is this place?"
"My dear disciple, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Qin Weiyu brought the wooden sword close to Chunyu Zhenren's neck. Since absorbing the Xuanyuan Sword Qi, the wooden sword had also gained some Qi attributes, which greatly improved its power. Chunyu Zhenren shrank back.
"You're not my master. Your explanations are too flawed. I'm too lazy to explain. Answer my questions, or else..."
Seeing that there was no other way, the two people turned into two pieces of wood and scattered on the ground with two "poofs". Qin Weiyu looked around but still couldn't come to a conclusion, so he flew on his sword to Qingyuan Peak, which was closest to Chu Yufeng, to find out what was going on.
Unlike Chu Yufeng, the weather at Qingyuan Peak was somewhat gloomy.
They didn't encounter a single disciple of Qingyuan Peak along the way, and all the houses were empty.
Having never been here before, Qin Weiyu went to great lengths to find Xue Ming.
The Xue family was having dinner in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. When Qin Weiyu suddenly arrived, they acted appropriately without making any mistakes.
Xue Ming was quite surprised. Although the two had spent several months together, Qin Weiyu was always quiet and the two didn't know each other very well, so he really didn't understand why she had suddenly come over like this.
Xue Lan warmly invited her to eat together, and Xue Chengbo and his wife smiled and asked someone to prepare bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing this scene, Qin Weiyu didn't want to directly express her suspicions, so she sat down to see what the situation was like before making a decision.
"We were just talking about you when you came here."
Xue Ming's mother said with a smile, "Xue Ming said you did very well. It's really surprising that you're so young."
"You flatter me."
Qin Weiyu answered calmly, her eyes fixed on the food on the table.
Madam Xue was not offended by Qin Weiyu's rude behavior and still smiled and said, "Eat more if you're hungry. You've all worked hard during this long training trip. Xue Ming has even lost weight."
She looked at Xue Ming with heartache and tenderness.
"Senior Brother Ming, do you usually eat like this?"
Qin Weiyu asked Xue Ming directly.
Xue Ming was momentarily stunned, as if he remembered something, then looked at Qin Weiyu and shook his head.
Qin Weiyu then looked at Madam Xue and said, "Madam, our training has only lasted three months, why do you say it's a long time?"
Madam Xue was taken aback by the question and said somewhat blankly, "Three months? That can't be right... You were in the illusion for a year, no, it should be half a year, I remembered wrong."
How did the lady learn of this?
At this moment, Xue Ming also realized something was wrong. Neither the sect leader nor his parents had mentioned the discrepancy between the two times. If they had known beforehand, they would have told him. So he looked at his somewhat nervous mother.
"this……"
Madam Xue was somewhat at a loss for words.
Qin Weiyu didn't seem to care about Madam Xue's answer. She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of food, and smelled it.
"Madam, the dishes you prepared are excellent; they are so fresh and natural that there is not a trace of cooking involved. However, Qin Weiyu is not fortunate enough to enjoy them. Farewell."
He then got up and left, and the people in his seat had various expressions.
As Xue Lan was speaking, Xue Ming suddenly stood up and left his seat.
His expression was calm and resolute. He said nothing, yet he conveyed his meaning very clearly, so he left without being stopped.
Xue Ming chased after him outside and found the sky even more gloomy, with a feeling of dark clouds looming over the city.
Qin Weiyu was looking up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.
Xue Ming had realized that they were not actually at Qingyuan Peak, so the one who was playing tricks must be the tree demon, and the most important thing now was to leave this place.
Thinking of this, he said to Qin Weiyu, "This illusion is very peculiar. We have seen through it, but we still cannot break it. It seems to want to perish together with us."
Qin Weiyu didn't speak for a while, then sighed and said, "This is such a hassle."
Hearing this vaguely, Xue Ming was taken aback. Such emotional words didn't sound like something Qin Weiyu would say.
After spending several months together, he realized that she usually handled various unexpected events in a very indifferent manner, as if nothing could anger her.
So the current situation is really troublesome.
At this moment, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed. The originally gloomy sky suddenly became stormy and the surrounding spiritual energy became very unstable. Numerous dark clouds surged towards the main peak, Tianyu Peak.
In the blink of an eye, Qingyuan Peak transformed into a place of fine weather with gentle breezes and sunshine, making one think that everything just now was an illusion.
However, the two turned their attention to Tianyu Peak. The sight in the distance made their hearts tighten, and they immediately flew towards the main peak.
As they flew closer to the main peak, the two of them were already swaying precariously in the strong winds.
Moreover, the closer you get to the area where the spiritual energy is disordered, the more severe the disorder becomes, making it extremely difficult to control the sword.
Xue Ming approached Qin Weiyu with difficulty and said, "Junior Sister Qin, given the current situation, neither of us can get close to the main peak. Why don't we join forces?"
Qin Weiyu knew that Xue Ming was telling the truth. Although their spiritual power had increased, it was still not enough to fight against the situation. Only by the two of them wielding a sword together and using their combined strength could they possibly pass through the clouds.
