Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes. The man had clearly seen the ghost earlier, but the reason he hadn't exposed it immediately was because he was trying to find the location of the person behind the ghost. The man's words were clearly a reminder to the others that there was another person present.
In the alleyway, they exchanged glances and asked warily, "How did those people know there were people in here? And how did they get in?"
The man scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain, and said, "What else could it be? It must have been that brat from the Ying family who went out and said it. No need to even think about it."
In an instant, everyone launched a new round of resistance, disgust, and resentment towards the Ying family. "I told you long ago that the Ying family are no good people at all. They're just pretentious and obviously no good. But you wouldn't believe me. Now, facts speak louder than words!"
"Who said I don't believe you? It's just that this happened so suddenly that everyone is still in shock."
...
This group of people were quite carefree, continuing their discussion as if no one else was around. Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen knew they couldn't stay here any longer, so they quickly left. Fu Ziyi's eyes were filled with murderous intent; he was very angry. "He did it on purpose."
Fu Ziyi was referring to Ying Ziping. Baili Xiuwen immediately understood his meaning and remained silent. He had the same thought, but such matters could not be judged hastily. Fu Ziyi continued, "He was certain that we wouldn't believe him, so he told us this so that we would go in and find out what was going on, and then die in that place."
Baili Xiuwen pursed his lips and remained silent. The two of them sat awkwardly on the ground, speechless for a moment. "Alright, don't think too much about it. Let's go back first. Senior Sister and the others must have gone back too."
Compared to Baili Xiuwen, who obediently called her "Senior Sister," Fu Ziyi was quite unruly, and the two headed back in the direction they were going.
The three of them, Shangguan Qi and his companions, kept walking forward. However, the higher they went, the darker the surroundings became. If they didn't know that they had arrived early, Shangguan Qi would have almost thought it was already dark. Shi Mu, who was timid, hid behind Xuan Chi. Seeing this scene, he felt a chill down his spine. "Do you think something will suddenly jump out and scare us? The atmosphere is perfect, all we need is something scary."
Shangguan Xi clicked his tongue twice. "Junior brother, don't say such things in a place like this. What if your words come true and you become a jinx? Don't think about these things. Focusing on moving forward is the most important thing."
While comforting herself, Shangguan Xi also gave Shi Mu a lecture, "Senior sister, it's really dark here. Why don't we go down first? We haven't found anything along the way, and it looks like we're almost at the top of the mountain. There's still a distance to go down. If we go down after dark, I feel like it might be dangerous."
Shi Mu was terrified and kept looking around. He felt that there were many things hiding in the shadows, but none of them had come out yet and they were still hiding.
He was like a frightened animal, easily startled by the slightest noise.
Xuan Chi spoke up at this moment, "I think what Junior Brother said makes some sense. Why don't we go down first and tell Senior Sister about the situation on the mountain? Senior Sister is more knowledgeable and might know why. Going up the mountain rashly is not a wise choice."
With both men insisting on going down the mountain, Shangguan Xi stopped insisting. To be honest, she was also a little scared, but with two men standing next to her, she was afraid that no one would hug her. She could only hug herself and seek some comfort.
On the way down the mountain, the group walked very fast, at least twice as fast as they had gone up. Once they were out of the mountains, their eyes lit up and they could see the blue sky. The group was once again certain that there was something wrong with the mountain.
On their way back, they ran into Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen, who were returning from another road. The two sides were like oil and water, especially Fu Ziyi, who was in a bad mood and acted all high and mighty.
Seeing Fu Ziyi's attitude, Shangguan Xi and the others didn't bother to pay him any attention. Baili Xiuwen could only smile to ease the awkwardness when he saw his friend's arrogant demeanor.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuehuai's conversation with Bai Sha was completely off-track. A vein throbbed on her forehead as she glared at Bai Sha, "Why can't you understand what I'm saying? Can't you be normal?"
If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him didn't seem to have much malice towards him, Xu Yuehuai would definitely have fought her to the death.
Bai Sha smiled and said, "I understand, but I don't want to do it this way. Why don't you want to join us? Hei Sha and I are very powerful and can teach you a lot. Even if you don't need us to teach you anything, you will still learn a lot by following us. Joining us will be a wise choice for you."
Bai Sha tilted her head and started talking with Hei Sha. Hei Sha, who was hiding in the shadows, really wanted to go up and tear Bai Sha's mouth apart so she could stop talking nonsense.
Xu Yuehuai shook her head. "I told you, I won't go with you. I have teammates, I don't need to join you."
"Okay, if all else fails, how about I compromise? Let me join you, that works too, I don't mind." Bai Sha thought his idea was brilliant, nodding to himself in approval of his cleverness.
Xu Yuehuai never imagined that she would one day be entangled with a woman. Bai Sha was still muttering to herself, "But can I bring someone with me? Hei Sha will definitely join you too. After all, Hei Sha and I are the best partners. If I join you, I definitely won't abandon him. This shouldn't be a problem for you, right? I see they all call you Senior Sister. You should be the one in charge in the team, so you can't use the excuse of needing to discuss it with others."
Bai Sha said everything he could think of, leaving Xu Yuehua speechless for a moment. "We don't need any more people."
Xu Yuehuai was too lazy to continue arguing with her. She sheathed her sword and returned to the inn. Bai Sha became unrestrained. Since she had already been discovered, there was no need to keep hiding in the shadows. She simply stood in front of Xu Yuehuai and said, "It's okay. I will stay here and make everyone like me. I believe everyone will like me."
Hei Sha flashed in front of Bai Sha, her face as black as the bottom of a pot. She grabbed Bai Sha's arm and tried to take her away from this place, but Bai Sha was unwilling and her face showed resistance.
