This year, Duancheng has experienced unusually heavy rainfall, with a constant drizzle that soaks the ground and surrounding area. Yet, it shows no sign of stopping, only occasionally taking a short break when it gets tired, before quickly recovering and continuing its diligent work of raining, turning the ground gray-black and keeping the sky perpetually gloomy.
The matter was quickly decided. Xu Yuehuai enjoyed the blue sky and white clouds in the space, rocking back and forth in the recliner, feeling very comfortable. Yuan Shui's spot was taken, and he looked a little unhappy, muttering, "I told you a long time ago not to work so hard. After you were showing off outside, now you know you're not feeling well."
Yuan Shui stood to the side, lecturing Xu Yuehuai like a little adult. Xu Yuehuai kept her eyes closed, ignoring everything he said, her eyes devoid of any emotion, utterly indifferent. But her tightly furrowed brows spoke of her current pain, her body enduring torment.
Those individuals were not easy to deal with. She was able to win at an extraordinary cost, and her victory was also somewhat due to luck.
So all of this indicates that her current physical condition is not suitable for participating in the competition the next day. However, the competition the next day is a team event, and everyone will participate. As the senior sister, if she does not participate, she will inevitably be criticized. Moreover, she is worried about her.
So after everyone left their rooms, she couldn't wait to enter the space. The spiritual energy here contained something special that could help her recuperate and reduce her pain.
After easing her tension for a while, Xu Yuehuai finally opened her eyes. Since Qi Guze left, she had become much quieter. With no one around to talk to, she naturally became even more silent. Seeing her like this, Yuan Shui said in his usual way, "If you ask me, you should go and talk to Ji Yuanchi. If she doesn't mind the past and is still willing to play with you, that would be great."
Yuan Shui crossed his arms and swayed his feet in the Marrow Cleansing Pool. He felt extremely uneasy every day just looking at Xu Yuehuai like this.
Xu Yuehuai refused without even thinking, "If you really have nothing to do, you can plant some flowers and plants in here, so you won't be so idle."
Yuan Shui knew she was annoyed that he was meddling in her business. He snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, "Take it or leave it. I'm too lazy to say anything more."
He had an arrogant look on his face, as if he didn't want to be lectured, so Xu Yuehuai didn't continue.
She stayed in the space for a night, and came out early the next morning. She took a walk outside and found that Nangong Yu had already gathered everyone and was waiting for Xu Yuehuai outside. After what happened yesterday, everyone's opinion of her had changed. They no longer thought that she was useless because of her low cultivation level and being a newcomer.
Nangong Yu also informed everyone of the tactics they had discussed the day before. Everyone was shocked when they heard about it. This was a method that had never been tried before. Perhaps Xu Yuehuai had never been involved in such a thing before, which was why he was so bold.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? If we split up, we'll easily get ganged up on by others. We won't get any benefits and we'll even get beaten up." Song Xin said with a smile, appearing understanding. Everyone's eyes turned to her, and some even nodded in agreement, thinking that what she said made a lot of sense.
Xu Yuehuai glanced at it indifferently, then said, "Hide from people, take any light orbs you see, crush your tokens and run away immediately if you encounter any danger to your life, and stick with fellow disciples if you meet them. Is there anything difficult about this?"
Xu Yuehuai spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if she didn't care about the matter at all, but what she said made most people fall silent.
Xu Yuehuai glanced around, and seeing that no one spoke, she led her people away.
Early in the morning, someone came to inform them that the main gate they left had been turned into the entrance to the secret room, thus saving them the trouble of walking a long way.
After entering the secret realm, they will be scattered, and everyone will land in different places. There is even a possibility that they might bump into someone else.
A second before entering the secret realm, Xu Yuehuai glanced at the people behind her. Many of them had doubts and distrust in their eyes, but so what? As long as the ultimate goal was achieved, that was enough. Xu Yuehuai thought to herself, her goal was never to stay in Qingtao Valley for long.
Zisangyi noticed this, but didn't say much. He just tried his best to be good to her while she was still around; that was all he could do.
After entering the secret realm, the rain stopped abruptly, and everyone finally saw the blue sky and white clouds that they hadn't seen for several days.
Xu Yuehuai stood in the middle of a desert and fell heavily to the ground. She stood up, wiped the dust and sand off her body, looked around, and noticed some movement under another haystack. She walked over quietly and found that the person behind the haystack was Ji Yuanchi.
Ji Yuanchi's body made intimate contact with the ground, looking quite disheveled. Under these circumstances, the two looked at each other. Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened, as this was the first time they had been in such close contact since that day.
Ji Yuan slowly got up from the ground, without any embarrassment on her face, as if what had just happened had never occurred. Xu Yuehuai had no interest in bringing up those things, so she simply chatted with her about something else.
"You..." Xu Yuehuai had only uttered one word when Ji Yuanchi hurriedly interjected, "Senior Sister, you don't mean to leave with me, do you? Have you forgotten the rules you set for yourself?"
Her voice was light and tinged with a hint of aloofness. Xu Yuehuai hadn't expected her to speak like a firecracker, and he was stunned for a moment. She hadn't intended to do this in the first place, but she hadn't even had a chance to speak before she interrupted him, leaving the words he hadn't said stuck in his throat, leaving him speechless for a moment.
Ji Yuanchi probably realized that her reaction was too strong, and tried to make amends by saying, "Don't misunderstand, I just don't want to lose the game because of personal reasons."
Xu Yuehuai pursed her lips slightly, then nodded, "Let's go."
She turned around, no longer looking at the woman lying on the ground. Ji Yuanchi let out a sigh of relief as she turned away, finally managing to fool everyone. It was truly not easy. She slowly let go of the hands hanging by her sides, and her expression finally became a little more natural.
The two walked together in the desert. Xu Yuehuai looked at the endless yellow sand and looked around. There was no boundary in sight. His expression was serious, as if he had encountered some problem.
Ji Yuanchi stood beside her without saying a word, but was also analyzing the current situation.
