Xu Yuehuai paused, looking towards the man's location. She hadn't revealed herself easily, but had been observing the situation from the shadows. From the moment this man appeared until now, she hadn't done anything against common sense, so if someone had been discovered, it definitely couldn't be her. She had hidden herself very well.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. Sure enough, not long after, a man appeared from behind the black hole. The man laughed and said, "Sir, you have good eyesight. You only took one look and knew I was here. Did you come here specifically to find me? Am I that important that you would come to find me in person?"
The man in front of me spoke in a strange, almost effeminate tone. His long hair was not styled upright, but rather hung down his back and simply tied together with a hair tie. He was dressed like a woman, but had a man's voice.
"You're so obvious, it's hard not to notice. Tell me, how do you want to die?" The ancient man spoke without any politeness, immediately bringing up death, which made Xu Yuehuai frown.
She didn't rush to leave, but stood there wanting to hear what these two were up to. They had actually met in such a secretive place, and hadn't even turned on each other yet. Xu Yuehuai thought to herself that the two of them must have thought of the same thing at some point, which was why they were able to chat so calmly at this moment. At least in some matters, the other party was of use to her.
So, thinking about it the other way around, she was the only outsider there. At this point, if she didn't run away, it was only a matter of time before she was discovered. So she slipped away without looking back or hesitating.
She came here simply to investigate if there was anything strange about this place. After her investigation, she discovered almost all the problems. Therefore, there was nothing to worry about. All she needed to do was connect all the problems to form a circle, and within that circle would be all the points of contention.
After Xu Yuehuai left, the man from the ancient clan smiled and said, "See? You scared the little bug away. I told you to be gentler. Why are you so aggressive? You don't know how to be gentle at all."
"I didn't scare her away! She wasn't even here when I arrived. It must have been because of you that she left. I hadn't even had enough time to play with this girl, and you scared her away. I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're already bringing this up first," the effeminate man retorted defiantly.
The two were talking back and forth, and Xu Yuehuai didn't hear a word they said. She was just glad that she ran fast, otherwise she might already be a dead man under the sword and on her way to the Western Paradise.
When Xu Yuehuai returned to her seat, she was still panting heavily, her breathing disordered. Fu Ziyi, who was next to her, noticed this and grabbed Xu Yuehuai's wrist. With a little force, he found that her breathing was unsteady. "What did you just do? Are you acting like a guilty cop? Did you eavesdrop on someone's conversation?"
Fu Ziyi hit the nail on the head with just one sentence. Sometimes Xu Yuehuai wanted to shut up such people for a while because they were really unfriendly to her! But it was probably impossible to make Fu Ziyi shut up on his own, because he would keep talking, especially when Xu Yuehuai got close.
Everyone here will be moving to the backyard, and Xu Yuehuai must tell Zisangyi about this beforehand so he can prepare. As for the others, Xu Yuehuai doesn't intend to act rashly before determining whether they are good or bad; the best approach now is to wait and see.
When she finally had a chance to speak with Zisangyi alone, Zisangyi glanced over, and Xu Yuehuai took the opportunity to whisper everything that had happened, "If what you've discovered is true, then the people living in the backyard probably won't have a peaceful night."
Zisangyi had no doubt that the information Xu Yuehuai had obtained might be false, nor did she doubt that Xu Yuehuai was probably lying. Her disciple had already told him such a thing, so she must have complete faith and trust in him.
Xu Yuehuai also knew about this, which is why she rushed over to tell Zisangyi. Moreover, she felt that the man must have discovered her at the end, otherwise why would he speak so strangely? That effeminate man was very likely in cahoots with the ancient men.
At first, when the ancient man was talking to thin air, he was testing whether she would come out. In fact, she did not come out. In order to avoid an awkward atmosphere, the effeminate man deliberately appeared later, making her think that the ancient man was not looking for him at all. The two of them were in this back and forth of competition.
How could Xu Yuehuai not have thought of this? She just didn't really want to believe that her secret would be exposed so easily.
Not long after Xu Yuehuai left, the ancient clan man also left, returning to his original position. Upon returning, the Ying family elder couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? Did you find anything? Did she discover our secret? If all else fails, why don't we throw her in ahead of time and say she'll be the first to scout ahead? What do you think?"
Elder Ying is currently in a state of frenzy, focused solely on victory, completely forgetting how others would treat him if they found out about this, and how he should conduct himself afterward. These are not things Elder Ying has considered for the time being.
He believed he was certain of victory. Once the people emerged from the ruins, he would have whatever he wanted, and all the riches and glory would belong to him alone!
He thought this obsessively, his eyes brightening slightly. However, the ancient man did not agree to his plan to take action against Xu Yuehuai. "What's the rush? They'll be ours sooner or later anyway. What difference does it make if it's a little earlier or later? Just wait patiently."
The elders of the Ying family were eager to get started, but although they were reluctant, they were now at the mercy of the ancient men and had no choice but to agree to the matter.
On the other side, after Zisang realized that it was all a scam, he began to worry about the children in the secret realm. When the people of Qingtao Valley were being eliminated en masse, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Sect Master Zhan did not forget to mock him, "It seems that most of the resources of Qingtao Valley were fed to the wrong people. These juniors did not last long."
This time, Zi Sangyi wasn't angry at all. Instead, she said with a smile, "We Qingtao Valley have never competed or fought for anything, and we have absolutely no interest in these things!"
