Source of "It Turns Out I Was Really the Protagonist":
Before long, two more people appeared out of thin air beside the giant tree where the two had been hiding. One of them looked around and said with considerable annoyance:
Why hasn't the guide assigned by the sect arrived yet?
"I don't know, she's probably still on her way. Senior Sister Leng's cultivation is indeed formidable; even the Heavenly Gate Sect of Mount Fugu couldn't stop her. She truly lives up to her idol's reputation!"
"Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting? She's not only been expelled from the sect, but she's also a traitor wanted by the entire Saint Hill. You can say that in private, but don't speak so recklessly in front of others!"
“What you say is absolutely right, senior brother. I will certainly follow your teachings.”
"Although she is powerful within the sect, she is nothing in the Heavenly Gate Sect. If it weren't for her beauty, how could she have caught the eye of the Heavenly Gate Sect's young sect leader? The higher-ups have already sent word that she is colluding with outsiders and bringing shame to the Heavenly Gate Sect. If the sect doesn't give a proper explanation, we're all doomed. Let's get to work!"
Hearing this, Leng Rushuang, hidden in the red silk, couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"A defeated opponent!"
At this moment, another person chimed in:
"I heard from others that the Tianmen Sect Master personally promised her to leave. Has the situation become that serious?"
"Hmph! It's much more serious than you think. Otherwise, why would the sect go to such great lengths to hunt her down? It's said that the sect leader has already deduced her escape route and she's bound to sneak down the mountain. All we have to do is wait for the guide to arrive, lie in wait by the mountain-descent formation, and wait for her to walk right into our trap!"
"But... it seems like the two of us are no match for Leng Rushuang?"
"How can you be so self-deprecating? Even if the two of us are no match for her, once she exposes her whereabouts at Sage Hill, she will have nowhere to hide. All the guides at Sage Hill have been hired by the sect at great expense. At this critical juncture, no guide would be so ungrateful as to risk offending our sect to help her escape. This time, Leng Rushuang is like a turtle in a jar, with no way to escape!"
"What you say is absolutely right, senior brother. We just need to take good care of this area. I'll go take a look over there first."
"Okay, I'll contact that guide again!"
Li Si glanced at Leng Rushuang beside him out of the corner of his eye. Although the latter's expression was normal, he still felt a chill. It seemed that the girl's situation was much more serious than he had guessed.
After a long silence, Leng Rushuang finally broke the silence and spoke:
"You can sense the location of the mountain-descending formation. I didn't expect them to be so well-informed. If we don't leave now, we might not have any chance at all!"
Li Sisui smiled bitterly, a hint of anxiety and resentment mixed in his cold voice:
"To be honest, young lady, my cultivation is meager, and I do not know how to sense the mountain-descending formation..."
Leng Rushuang was clearly taken aback, completely speechless by those words. After a moment, she said with a hint of helplessness:
"You...you're really something else. I don't know where you get your confidence from, phew~"
As she spoke, Leng Rushuang let out a long breath and said self-deprecatingly:
"As expected, my luck is still as bad as ever. That was probably the luckiest moment I've ever had..."
"There will be a next time..."
Li Sisui said weakly, and Leng Rushuang snorted coldly, falling silent as if she had given up resisting. The small space became completely silent again, but the temperature kept dropping, as if they were hiding in a refrigerator. Li Sisui shivered and said:
"Miss... what should we do next?"
"wait!"
"Well... how about this? Instead of waiting here, why don't you teach me the Sensing Technique? Perhaps I can learn it?"
Leng Rushuang burst out laughing, as if she had heard the funniest joke. Her body trembled and her icy demeanor melted away. Even through the layers of red gauze, Li Sisui, standing beside her, was stunned, his gaze fixed on her. Fortunately, Leng Rushuang didn't notice. After laughing, she asked in return:
"Is your cultivation at the third level of the Divine Illumination Real?"
"Of course!"
"This method of perception can be used by anyone who has just begun cultivating. It's as commonplace as eating and sleeping. Not to mention the third level of Divine Illumination, even the first level of Out of the Mind can use it flexibly. But now you want me to teach you? You don't even know how to eat?"
"..."
Although Leng Rushuang's words were harsh, she must have used some kind of concealment technique to make it impossible for anyone outside to hear anything. All that could be seen was a cluster of lush side branches growing beside the main trunk of the towering tree, with nothing else unusual.
Li Sisui was speechless. He hadn't expected this so-called sensing method to be so ordinary. He had mistaken it for some profound technique. Now, his reputation as a cultivation prodigy was completely confirmed. However, to be fair, cultivation was indeed too magical for Li Sisui. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't suddenly understand it. After all, switching from science to metaphysics required a long process.
After Leng Rushuang vented her anger by berating Li Sisui, she seemed to calm down considerably, and then spoke calmly:
"No matter what your cultivation level is, as long as you can activate it, internalize the circulation of Qi, and eliminate distracting thoughts, as your cultivation continues to circulate, you will have a kind of mysterious feeling. How should I put it? You can imagine the current space as a balloon, and then you will feel a place where air is leaking. That place is where the Great Array of Descending the Mountain is located. It's that simple..."
If there's no sense of leakage, it's possible the grand formation for descending the mountain hasn't appeared yet, and we need to continue waiting.
Li Sisui seemed to understand something and closed his eyes to sense it. Seeing this, Leng Rushuang revealed a cold smile, stopped paying attention to Li Sisui, and began to investigate the surrounding situation.
A moment later, Leng Rushuang's expression turned serious again. She only needed a quick scan to detect a dozen or so cultivators approaching her, some near and some far. It seemed a fierce battle was inevitable. Thinking of this, Leng Rushuang suddenly asked:
