With an air of 'it's all my fault for being too outstanding,' she walked up to Zhu Haohao and patted his arm with a smile.
"Is it because one of your sect's elders has taken a liking to my talent and wants to take me as a disciple, but is afraid I won't agree, so they sent you to sound me out first?"
Zhu Haohao: "..."
Shen Wanxin: "..."
Is there not a single person in the Rongling Sect with a normal brain circuit?
You're only at the Qi Refining stage, where did you get your talent from?
Didn't any of you consider another possibility? Huh?!
They hadn't thought of that.
Rong Zi felt very good about herself.
Seeing that Zhu Haohao was just staring blankly without replying, she smiled and asked again, "Still the sect leader?"
Zhu Haohao: "..."
Rong Zi put her hands behind her back, tilted her head back at a 45-degree angle to look at the sky, striking a very stylish pose.
"Although I know I am truly outstanding, after we leave here, please go back and politely decline the person who sent you to sound me out. Remember to persuade him not to be too heartbroken and to try to accept it. After all, losing a genius like me must be hard for him to accept for a while."
Shen Wanxin and Zhu Haohao exchanged a glance, their eyes asking him a question that was hard to put into words.
Shen Wanxin: What exactly attracted you to her?
Zhu Haohao: ...So...so special.
Zhu Haohao simply couldn't bring himself to say the word "cute".
I feel that if I say it out loud, my conscience will hurt.
...
After the farce, their group continued walking forward with the main group.
This place stretches as far as the eye can see, and no one knows exactly how big it is.
Now everyone is in the Qi Refining stage, unable to fly on swords, and can only move forward step by step on their own two feet.
But they walked for a long time and still didn't see the end.
Rong Zi wanted to ride an electric scooter, but the ground here was uneven, and she would occasionally run into human bones, making it really difficult to ride.
Zhu Haohao glanced at Rong Zi, who was surrounded by his disciples, and his lips twitched slightly.
Why are you so wary of him?
Zhu Haohao coughed twice, pressing his fist to his lips, and then started talking to everyone.
"Where did the Xu family go? Why haven't we seen them along the way? Are they still alive?"
Rong Zi poked her head out from the circle of her disciples and replied, "I don't know where she went, but she must still be alive."
Zhu Haohao asked in confusion, "Why?"
This place is so strange. They haven't seen anyone from the Xu family since they came in. How can Miss Rong be so sure that they are still alive?
“Xu Liuhan wouldn’t harm her own son,” Shen Wanxin added.
“That’s right.” Rong Zi gave her an approving look and then chimed in, “Xu Liuhan dotes on his precious son so much that he’s willing to sacrifice himself to send his son into this Soul Cave. This means that he must have something that can save his son’s life in here.”
Ling Mo interjected, "When I was sucked in, I saw Xu Liuhan give Xu Xingzhi something."
Upon hearing this, the others all frowned in unison.
If what Xu Liuhan gave Xu Xingzhi was only enough to save her son's life, then it wouldn't matter.
But if Xu Liuhan gives him something that can deal with them...
Zhu Haohao frowned and sighed.
"Sigh, we're all at the Qi Refining stage now. If we really encounter them, I don't know if we can defeat them."
Gu Xiaochui: "It would be great if they were all at the Qi Refining stage; we could easily crush them."
What does it mean to say whether you can win a fight?
Their master is there.
I guarantee I'll beat them up like chopping vegetables!
Zhu Haohao couldn't understand where Gu Xiaochui's confidence came from. "We're all the same, what do we have to do to crush them?"
Gu Xiaochui held up one finger and shook it seriously.
"No, we are not like them."
Zhu Haohao: "What's different?"
Gu Xiaochui pointed at Rong Zi and said, "We have a master... we have a junior sister, so we can let her take the stage."
"Miss Rong?" Zhu Haohao was somewhat angry. "As her senior brothers, how could you let such a frail young girl face danger?"
"A delicate...little girl?"
Qi Yufei added meaningfully, "Brother, you're still too naive."
Have you ever seen a delicate young girl at the 26th level of Qi Refining?
Zhu Haohao: "You..."
Shen Wanxin called out to Zhu Haohao, "Junior Brother!"
Whenever Rong Zi is involved, it's like he's lost his mind.
Rong Zi's senior brothers surrounded her like that to protect her, so how could they really bear to let a young girl like Rong Zi face danger?
It was just a joke, you took it seriously.
fool!
Zhu Haohao blinked and shut up obediently.
Shen Wanxin said, "It is said that the Soul Cave is full of floating corpses and evil spirits. Even if we don't encounter anyone from the Xu family, we may not be able to get out of here safely."
"Evil spirits are rampant?" Gu Xiaochui slapped his thigh. "That's even better!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present except Rong Zi and Yun Jing looked at Gu Xiaochui as if he were a fool.
Is it alright if evil spirits run rampant?
Is there something wrong with this kid's brain?
Gu Xiaochui noticed everyone's gaze, but instead of explaining anything to them, she gave them a mysterious look.
I can't wait!
...
The main force had been walking for an unknown amount of time.
As time went on, everyone present felt increasingly worse.
It felt as if a wild beast, eager to break free of its cage, was being suppressed in their chests, making them want to explode in anger and even fight.
