Jun Moyao gave a soft hum and tilted his head to rest one of his cheeks on Rong Zi's head.
A hint of confusion appeared in his light purple eyes. "My sense of Xiaobai has disappeared again. I don't know if you're heading in the right direction."
For some reason, his perception of Xiaobai has been intermittent these past few days.
Rong Zi tilted her head back and said, "You were the one who said Xiao Bai was in the west. I've been walking in this direction the whole time. Even if I went the wrong way, it's not my fault."
"Then let's not rest and keep looking. Six days have passed since we entered the secret realm. If we dawdle any longer, the secret realm will close."
Rong Zi propped himself up with one hand behind his back, stretched out his legs, and waved his hand.
"Don't panic, don't panic, let me rest a little longer."
Gu Xiaochui slumped down beside her.
He braced himself with his hands behind him, but his hands suddenly pressed down on a blade of grass.
Gu Xiaochui paused for a moment, turned around and looked back, and found that it was a plant with feathery leaves.
He didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from the plant, and feeling a little curious, he tilted his head and asked Rong Zi beside him, "Master, what is this?"
He often saw his master reading various books when he had nothing to do, including a complete guide to spiritual herbs.
She definitely knows more than he does.
Rong Zi followed Gu Xiaochui's gaze and replied, "It looks like a mimosa, a plant that gets shy when touched and its leaves close up. It doesn't have much medicinal value."
Do you get shy when someone touches you?
Gu Xiaochui sat up straight and poked the mimosa plant with her finger.
As a result, the other party's leaves did not change at all.
He frowned. "It doesn't seem like it's shy at all, and the leaves aren't closed."
Seeing this, Rong Zi also reached out and touched the mimosa plant, and found that its leaves had indeed not changed.
She squinted, touched her chin, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Maybe... this mimosa plant is just thick-skinned and shameless?"
Jun Moyao and Gu Xiaochui: "..."
They didn't notice that after Rong Zi said those words, the mimosa plant seemed to tremble.
Perhaps finding the shameless mimosa plant quite interesting, Rong Zi eventually dug it up and transplanted it into his Primordial Ring.
After resting for a while, Rong Zi and Gu Xiaochui continued their journey westward.
An hour later, Jun Moyao, who had been lying down, suddenly sat on Rong Zi's head and said something.
"I can sense it, Little White seems to be nearby."
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi paused slightly.
She reached out and pinched Jun Moyao off her head. Just as she was about to ask him if he could sense her exact location, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away, sounding like someone was crying out in pain.
Upon hearing this voice, Rong Zi and Gu Xiaochui's expressions instantly darkened.
Rong Zi didn't bother to ask Jun Moyao anything more. She casually stuffed him into the Hongmeng Ring and quickly rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.
Gu Xiaochui followed closely behind.
After the two rushed over, they saw a group of people with questionable appearances in the distance.
At this moment, these people were surrounding a confinement formation, looking at the three people trapped inside with ill intent.
"Ran Yue, Mu Ting, this child isn't from your Shui Yuan Sect, so why are you protecting him and making enemies of us? As long as you hand him over to us and return all the fire crystals you just collected, we guarantee we won't make things difficult for either of you."
Qin Ziteng had changed into decent clothes, but his face was still a little swollen from being pecked so badly by the fire crows.
It seems his teeth have been filled too.
I don't know if it's the same one as before...
For the past few days, they have been searching for Rong Zi.
Not only did they scheme against them, they also stole their storage pouches and spatial rings!
If they find Rong Zi, they'll definitely kill her!
However, for some reason, these past few days, wherever they went, they were targeted by people, as if everyone who saw them wanted to rush up and fight them.
This made it extremely difficult for them to move around in the secret realm, leaving them with little time to spare.
And so, they wandered around the secret realm for several days. Although they still couldn't find Rong Zi, their efforts paid off, and they actually found the little boy who often followed Rong Zi.
However, Rong Zi was not by the little boy's side; instead, he was with two of Shui Yuan Sect's disciples.
Zhu Haohao's second senior sister Ran Yue and fourth senior sister Mu Ting.
Ran Yue is at the Golden Core stage, but she is a weapon cultivator and her combat strength is not strong.
Mu Ting is a sword cultivator, but she is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage. Compared to Qin Ziteng and his group, her combat strength is significantly weaker.
When Qin Ziteng and his group arrived, they saw that Yun Jing and the other two had discovered a small fire crystal mine, and the three of them had collected quite a few fire crystals from it.
Seeing this, they immediately joined forces to set up a confinement formation, trapping the three of them inside.
They wanted to force them to hand over the fire crystals they possessed.
Yun Qin stood behind Qin Ziteng with the others. She squinted at the three people in the formation but did not say anything.
Publicly scrambling for fire crystals is a controversial act.
If two of the three were not direct disciples of the Shuiyuan Sect, it would be fine; they could be killed without anyone noticing, saving trouble and eliminating any worries.
But now...
Although Yun Qin was mindful of Ran Yue and Mu Ting's identities, she possessed a fire elemental root, making fire crystals extremely precious to her.
But it's okay.
If Qin Ziteng could really snatch all these fire crystals, he would definitely give them to her first.
Mu Ting had a fiery temper. After hearing Qin Ziteng's words, she immediately spat out a curse with a dark face, "Pah! You wish! Neither you nor the fire crystal can touch it."
They are not the kind of people who forget kindness.
This child and Rong Zi were both her junior brother's saviors.
They would never easily hand him over to this group of people who clearly had ill intentions.
Qin Ziteng snorted coldly, "Since you insist on refusing to listen to reason and choosing to suffer the consequences, then don't blame us for being impolite."
He waved to the Yao Huo Sect disciples behind him and gave an order.
"Make your move. Take care of the person first, then take the things. Remember to spare the little boy's life for now; we still need him to deal with Rong Zi."
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes."
They stepped outside the formation, preparing to unleash their magic to teach the three people trapped inside a lesson.
Just then, a delicate and clear female voice suddenly rang out without warning.
"If you want to deal with me, just come at me directly. What kind of skill is it to kidnap a child?"
