As for why he insisted on going to the Desolate Swamp Secret Realm, he would probably only find out once he got there.
But below the Nascent Soul stage...
He frowned: "When sect disciples go on training expeditions, will there be someone leading the group...?"
He suddenly looked up and saw that the people in front of him were all in low spirits, so he changed the subject: "What's wrong with you all?"
Gao Yao snapped out of his daze: "It's nothing. If we're going to the secret realm, we'll arrange for a senior to lead the team, just in case."
Suppressing one's cultivation level allows entry into the secret realm, but the person leading the team may not necessarily be Rong Yu.
If that person can't go, then... he'll have to get his hands on her within this month.
Fortunately, these people didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise they probably would have thrown him out of Tianzhi Sect immediately!
Seeing that they had become distracted since the mention of the secret realm, Geng Qi could roughly guess why. After a moment of contemplation, he tentatively asked, "I heard that when you went out to train last time, you encountered that Demon Lord? What does he look like? Is he very scary?"
Those who were asked the question froze simultaneously.
Yuan Xin tightened her grip on her sword, her expression a fascinating mix of emotions. Just as Geng Qi was expecting her to unleash her fury, she merely snorted and said, "He's nothing but a lecher."
He turned and left after saying that.
Geng Qi: "..."
He then turned his gaze to Ye Hanqi, who still maintained a cold and aloof demeanor, and said in a serious tone, "He is very handsome."
"..." Brother, you're so genuine!
With not a single reliable answer, Geng Qi had already given up hope, but then Gao Yao hesitated and said, "He saved Junior Sister Su."
Junior Sister Su? Su Mo'er!
Geng Qi looked around, but he didn't see anyone!
So he turned around and asked, "Which Junior Sister Su?"
Gao Yao snapped back to reality, as if he had just realized what he had said. He looked around nervously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one had noticed what he had said.
It would be troublesome if people found out he was speaking up for the devil.
Thinking of the question the person in front of him had asked, he replied, "She was a junior sister who trained with us, but she has already left the sect."
Has the female lead left the sect?
Geng Qi was slightly startled.
Gao Yao seemed to have thought of something, and his spirits lifted as he said, "I heard you're from Sangzhong City?"
Geng Qi remained expressionless: "Yes."
“Then you might get to see her in the future.” Gao Yao laughed. “We only found out a few days ago that Junior Sister Su is actually a princess of the Western Rong royal family. When the Eagle Guards came to the sect to pick her up that day, we were quite startled. The dark army looked like the Demon Realm had attacked.”
"Is that so?" Geng Qi simply smiled.
He's not really from Sangzhong City. Even if he were, he's a royal princess, not someone you can just see whenever you want.
He shook his head inwardly, then suddenly stopped, his smile fading as he asked, "You said she's a royal princess? Which royal family?"
Gao Yao said, "This... there is only one royal family on the continent."
Yes, whether they are called Western Rong or Eastern Rong, there is only one royal family on the Xuanling Continent!
Ke Rongyu is also a member of the royal family!
Although the royal family members mentioned by Mushan are not clearly defined, they are definitely members of the royal family. If Su Mo'er is a princess, then they are at least close relatives!
A forbidden love within the sect is one thing, but now it's even incest?
That's really extreme!
No! Would such a relationship have passed censorship in their time?
If it's not a problem with the author's values, then it can only mean...
He's got the wrong person!
"..."
Geng Qi felt a pang of disappointment and bent forward.
To Gao Yao and the others, he seemed to have been struck by lightning, exclaiming in surprise, "Are you... are you alright?"
He didn't seem to have said anything particularly serious, did he?
Geng Qi waved his hand, indicating that he was alright.
He wants some peace and quiet!
He had found the wrong person; it couldn't be the wrong female lead. He tried hard to recall the contents of the first three chapters of the original text. He clearly remembered that the female lead was just the daughter of a concubine in an ordinary official's mansion, who was not valued and was bullied by others.
There's no way around it; being abused is what gives you the thrill of a comeback. That's how it's written in cultivation novels!
But since she is the female lead, her identity must be extraordinary, so the vice minister must not be the female lead's biological father!
The female lead didn't choose the wrong person; he chose the wrong male lead.
If Ke Rongyu isn't the male lead, then who is?
Is the author not following the domineering CEO-style wife-protecting route, but rather the childhood sweetheart-supporting-male-lead-development route?
Does Su Mo'er have any close relationships with anyone in the sect?
He looked around the training ground and, apart from the few unfamiliar faces in front of him, he couldn't tell the female lead away.
He twirled the jade ring again. He could activate the system as long as he went to the Wilderness Secret Realm, and then he would know who the male lead was without having to distinguish between them.
It's only been a month.
Forget it, I need to take care of my own things first!
He looked up at the high platform, recalling Su Mo'er's disappearance in Gefeng Town and her subsequent rescue at Yandan Gate. He thought about Rong Yu's series of "abnormal" reactions to the female lead. No wonder he was indifferent to Su Mo'er's disappearance, and no wonder he was always cold towards the female lead. He was not the male lead at all, so naturally he wouldn't pay attention to the female lead in everything!
But given Rong Yu's incredibly awesome character design, what kind of role is he in the original story?
Was the bunker in the early stages used to highlight the male protagonist as a high-level cannon fodder?
A horrifying thought popped into his mind, but he shook his head and denied it. Rong Yu was not a jealous person, nor did he have any reason to hold grudges against anyone. He couldn't possibly be the villain!
He twirled the jade ring on his thumb, and the system interface appeared and disappeared in front of him. Fortunately, no one else noticed or saw the existence of the system. They only saw him deep in thought, his face full of doubt and confusion.
