These people may have never seen anything like this before, or they may be suspicious and want to know what this man and rat are doing.
In short, a large group of people followed behind Lu Li and Shushu, hanging at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
As they followed, these people would occasionally offer pointers: instructing Shushu on how to dodge, or telling Lu Li how to aim, leaving Shushu exhausted.
However, considering that he had to cover the remnants of the enemy formation, even though he was covered in dust and dirt, he endured it and continued to put on an act while eating pills to replenish his spiritual energy.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Shushu was still dutifully acting when Lu Li suddenly stopped, simply saying that the explosive talisman was gone.
Ignoring the expressions of those who followed him, he leisurely scooped up the millet and sweet potatoes, then led her away from Xianglai Forest and back to Liuyue Sect.
In any case, he had already drawn everyone's attention away and given his master and other elders in the sect enough time to make arrangements, so the rest was no longer his concern.
Most importantly, his junior sister is still a little brat, and he can't bear to keep her working herself to exhaustion. He would feel sorry for her!
As a result, a group of people who heard the noise rushed over, either to join in the fun or to try and snag a bargain.
They just watched helplessly as Lu Li and Shushu swaggered away, showing no intention of helping them at all.
Only after the two siblings had completely disappeared from sight did the group remaining exchange glances and then leave.
Some left Xianglai Forest directly and returned to Wanyue City, while others went back to the original location, carefully checked the other party, and left disappointed after finding nothing amiss.
Meanwhile, far away in the secluded cultivation room beneath the main peak of the Tianyan Sect, Sect Master Wen was in seclusion, preparing to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Unexpectedly, a sudden, intense heart palpitation jolted him awake from his seclusion, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood from the shock.
After vomiting blood, Sect Leader Wen didn't bother to check his own condition. He immediately tried to contact Wen Jianxi, but couldn't reach her no matter what he tried.
Even the wisp of divine sense he had placed on Wen Jianxi had lost contact.
Sensing that something was wrong, the doting father, Master Wen, immediately left his seclusion to find his wife, Hua Roumiao.
Before he went into seclusion, he entrusted his daughter's soul lamp to Hua Roumiao. Only by checking the condition of the soul lamp could he find out how his daughter was doing and whether she was in any danger.
"Brother Hong, something's happened to Xixi."
When Sect Leader Wen found Hua Roumiao, she was anxiously holding the Soul Lamp and about to rush out, clearly going to look for someone.
Upon seeing Sect Leader Wen appear, she didn't even have time to pay attention to why Wen Hong would appear at this time. She only knew that her daughter was in trouble, and she anxiously told him.
She suddenly felt a pang of panic for no reason, as if something bad had happened, but upon closer inspection, she found nothing unusual.
She thought of her daughter who was currently out there gaining experience, and quickly wrote to Wen Jianxi, but received no reply.
Thinking that she might be busy and not have time to check the jade pendant, she forced herself to wait patiently.
Finally, still feeling uneasy, she took out the Soul Lamp, only to discover that it contained traces of blood, indicating that its owner was injured.
Although the Soul Lamp was still burning brightly, Hua Roumiao couldn't help but worry.
Just as she was about to go out to look for someone to see who had a contact jade token for the person who had gone out with her daughter, she happened to run into Sect Master Wen Hong, who was coming out of seclusion.
She was completely preoccupied with the news of her daughter's injury, and she was so stunned by it that she forgot that Sect Leader Wen should be in seclusion at the moment.
"Don't worry, the soul lamp is still fine, Xixi should be alright. Don't be afraid, I'll send someone to find Xixi right away, don't worry, everything will be alright."
Seeing that Wen Jianxi's soul lamp was still bright and dazzling, the sect leader, whose heart was in his throat, calmed down instantly and then gently embraced Hua Roumiao to comfort her.
Since the soul lamp hasn't dimmed, it means his precious daughter is alright. Although he doesn't know why she used up that wisp of divine sense and can't contact anyone, it's still good news.
However, considering that his daughter was injured outside and had lost contact with him, Sect Master Wen felt that it was best to find her as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to continue his seclusion in peace.
Back to the present, with Sect Leader Wen's gentle reassurance, Hua Roumiao finally calmed down. Only then did she remember that he was in seclusion, and she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Hong, why did you come out of seclusion?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just that the wisp of divine sense I placed on Xixi was used up. I came out to check because I was worried. Since the soul lamp is still intact, it means our daughter is fine."
Upon hearing Hua Roumiao's question, Sect Leader Wen paused for a moment, but then chose to tell the truth. Otherwise, if he didn't explain clearly, Hua Roumiao would become even more worried.
"I see. Are you alright? It's all my fault for being useless. Otherwise, I could have given my daughter a wisp of divine consciousness to protect her. I'll make sure to get it for her when she comes back."
Sure enough, after learning the whole story, Hua Roumiao stopped overthinking and just kept feeling annoyed.
Because of giving birth to Wen Jianxi, her cultivation level had been forcibly reduced from the late Golden Core stage back to the early Golden Core stage.
It was only after Wen Jianxi was born that, after so many years of desperate cultivation, with the help of various elixirs, spiritual plants, fruits, and stones, she finally managed to cultivate back to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
That's why, when she later wanted to spare a wisp of her divine consciousness to protect Wen Jianxi, neither she nor her father agreed.
Both Wen Jianxi and Sect Leader Wen felt that since her body had not fully recovered, there was no need for her to do something that would cause such serious damage to her body.
At that time, Hua Roumiao thought that Sect Master Wen was already a top-level cultivator in the Yulin Continent, and there were very few people in the entire continent who were more powerful than him.
With his divine sense protecting him, his own divine sense wasn't really that important, so he didn't release it.
Now that she has experienced this, Hua Roumiao feels that when her daughter returns, she should also spare a wisp of her divine consciousness to protect her.
With an extra layer of protection, her daughter would be safer, but now is not the time to talk about that.
"Let's go, let's find someone and ask: who did Xixi go out with this time?"
Clearly, Sect Leader Wen shared the same thought as her, and seeing that she had calmed down, he quickly spoke up to remind her.
Wen Jianxi would always tell them before going out, or leave a message, but she didn't actually tell them in detail who she was going with or where she was going.
Wen Jianxi felt it was unnecessary to do so, as it would make her feel like she had to report her whereabouts at any time, which she didn't like.
As for Sect Leader Wen and Hua Roumiao, they didn't ask too many questions because they knew their daughter was with a mysterious big shot, fearing that he might dislike them.
However, this situation needs to change in the future. Otherwise, like this time, they are in a very passive position. If something really happens, they won't know where to start to help.
