Although An Yirou was naive, she was not stupid and realized what was going on in an instant.
Her voice trembled, filled with disbelief: "Why...why would you do this?"
The aroma of honey and wild fruit is very attractive to bears, especially the honey and wild fruit in the secret realm, which, unlike those in the human world, nourish the demonic beasts within the magic array.
An Zhengzheng had previously reminded people not to pick up anything other than magical artifacts.
Yu Er did this on purpose, no wonder she attracted the Tear-a-Man Bear.
Seeing that Yu'er remained silent, An Yirou immediately thought of her actions just now.
When the firewall was being built, Yu Er stood behind An Zhengzheng.
Thinking of this, An Yirou was startled and immediately covered her chest with her hand: "Your positioning just now... were you... were you trying to kill my sister?"
These words surprised everyone present, even the usually composed Zhou Xu.
This was no small matter. Song Juan was so frightened that she quickly said, "Yi Rou, we are all sisters. It is fate that we can all join the Si Yue Sect to cultivate immortality. You can't say such things carelessly!"
An Yirou angrily recounted what had just happened.
When a bear comes, in the panic, no one pays attention to other people's actions, but An Yirou is different.
She and An Zhengzheng are related by blood, so she would definitely be closer to her sister in case of danger. Therefore, she was well aware of this action.
Yu Er deliberately stood behind An Zhengzheng in order to lure the bear that was tearing people apart towards An Zhengzheng.
After all, based on An Zhengzheng's actions along the way, it was entirely reasonable to assume that she would definitely stand in front of them!
Everyone stared at Yu Er in shock, even Zhou Xu looked puzzled.
Yu Er's expression turned grim, seemingly surprised that An Yirou remembered so clearly.
An Zhengzheng asked her, "I believe I've taken care of the team the whole way. While I couldn't handle every little detail, I've never harmed you. So why...?"
"You're going to do this to me?!"
An Zhengzheng's questioning came fiercely, and everyone in the group had witnessed her actions along the way.
An Zhengzheng doesn't seem like the type to wrongly accuse someone.
Yu Er saw the female cultivators surrounding An Zhengzheng, and even Zhou Xu frowning as he looked at her, and she suddenly broke down.
"I... I didn't really want to hurt you!" Yu'er clenched her fists. "Aren't you perfectly fine now?"
An Zhengzheng didn't let her change the subject, but simply said again, "I asked why."
This misfortune came too suddenly.
"There's no reason why, I just did it because I wanted to." Yu'er turned her face away, not looking at anyone.
An Yirou was furious: "So it really was you! You're so vicious... My sister has always protected us, how could you do such a thing!"
Yu Er remained silent.
Song Juan and Su Ying were also very surprised. When Yu Er admitted it, they were also confused.
They went to ask her one by one, but Yu'er just wouldn't speak.
An Zhengzheng said coldly, "In that case, Miss Yu'er is no longer of any use in this team."
"I thought we'd be a team that would support each other and fight side by side, but there's someone stabbing us in the back. If you can't even trust your own back, what kind of team is that?"
An Zhengzheng's tone grew increasingly cold: "Of course I will not go with you."
This means we're going to separate!
Song Juan still couldn't believe Yu Er would do such a thing, and hurriedly asked her, "Why don't you hurry up and tell me your reasons? If Sister Zhengzheng is willing to forgive you..."
"Yi Rou, let's go." An Zhengzheng stopped dwelling on the matter and said, "I'll settle this score with you after I leave the magic circle."
The Siyue Sect does not allow its disciples to fight within the magic array. After all, the purpose of the trial is to test the disciples' ability to deal with demonic beasts, not to have fellow disciples kill each other.
"Sister Yu'er...Miss Yu'er, you'd better watch yourself." An Yirou glared at her and followed An Zhengzheng's steps forward.
The others also understood the truth of the matter, and none of them spoke again, instead following An Zhengzheng's footsteps.
After all, who would want to team up with someone like Yu Er!
Seeing that everyone was about to abandon her, Yu'er panicked.
Her strength is insufficient; she definitely won't survive without a team. If she fails the trial, she won't be able to learn advanced techniques.
She didn't want to fall behind others! Especially not behind An Zhengzheng!
Yu'er blushed and, looking at Zhou Xu's retreating figure, called out, "Cousin!"
Everyone turned around in unison, looking completely bewildered, especially Zhou Xu, whose brows were furrowed.
Did I hear that right? Yu'er called him her cousin?
The term "cousin" was obviously not being used to address the female cultivators, so they all looked towards Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu looked at her, but couldn't remember which cousin she was.
He had remained completely uninvolved throughout the entire ordeal and never expected to be dragged into it for no reason.
"Are you calling me?" He pointed uncertainly to himself.
Yu'er, there's no one in the clan with the surname Yu, but all the sisters in this generation do have the surname Yu.
Zhou Xu paused: "Your surname is Zhou, Zhou Yu'er?"
Zhou Yu'er tacitly agreed.
His expression turned somewhat unpleasant: "Which branch of the family are you from? When did the Zhou family produce such a sister who betrays her own family!"
Zhou Yu'er bit her lower lip, even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to.
"Fifth branch..." She felt utterly humiliated!
Zhou Xu glanced at her. People from cultivation families have a mark known only to members of the clan since childhood, which makes it easy to recognize relatives.
After sweeping, his expression was indifferent yet tinged with embarrassment.
They are indeed from the Zhou family.
His voice was cold: "Why are you like this?"
Now, Zhou Xu's father is in charge of the Zhou family and is the head of the family. When Zhou Xu asks a question, it is equivalent to asking a question by the person in charge of the Zhou family.
Zhou Yu'er dared not refuse to answer.
"Since childhood, Yu'er knew that her cousin was heartless and shouldn't have gotten close to women. But after the college entrance exam, her cousin inquired everywhere about a woman named An Zhengzheng..."
"I also heard that after my cousin fought with An Zhengzheng, he moved his territory... and now he wants to team up with her. I..."
Zhou Yu'er felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke. She had been fond of him since childhood, but dared not succumb to any temptation.
But wasn't he supposed to be heartless? How could he possibly care about another woman? She was unwilling, absolutely unwilling.
An Yirou asked in surprise, "So, when you first met me and stood up for me to scold those people, it was to find out about my sister?"
"So what if it is?" Zhou Yu'er stopped pretending, and her tone was no longer as intimate as before.
An Yirou trembled with anger: "I considered you a friend, and you actually played me like this!"
For so many years, An Yirou has been raised in the An family and has never gone out to experience life. With her excellent personality, she has never encountered such a situation before.
This is also one of the reasons why families that cultivate immortality send their children out to cultivate immortality, so that they can come into contact with more different people.
"Yi Rou." An Zhengzheng pulled An Yi Rou behind her, afraid that she was too upset.
Her expression was icy. If it weren't for the rules suppressing her within the magic array, she would have liked to beat Zhou Yu'er to the ground and make her admit her mistake.
"Should this debt be attributed to Zhou Yu'er, or to your Zhou family?"
This time, An Zhengzheng asked Zhou Xu.
