The dutiful young servant waited outside the wooden house for several hours before the barrier was removed by the people inside. Rong Yu walked out calmly, and Qing Han was sitting to the side talking to a young man.
People of the same age always get along well. Hearing the wooden door open, the innocent smile on the little servant's face disappeared, and he quickly stood up, becoming somewhat reserved. "Master Lingyuan."
Rong Yu nodded slightly: "What is it?"
The young servant boy said, "The clan chief invites that young master into Yinquan Cave; he has important matters to discuss."
"..."
As soon as Rong Yu frowned, the little servant immediately added, "Please also invite the real person to go."
Did they say what it was about?
The sound came from inside the wooden house. Geng Qi straightened his clothes and looked no different from before, except that the collar of his clothes was a little higher, and his long hair, which usually hung down his back, was now divided into two strands that hung down in front of him, covering the red mark on his neck.
The two had already sensed it when the servant arrived, but the arrow was already on the string and had to be released; once it was released, the person refused to stop.
Thinking back to how her resistance was forcefully suppressed and how she was tormented, and how she still had to meet with others, she couldn't help but glare angrily at someone.
Rong Yu went over to help him up, and when she looked up, she met his glare. It was a look that seemed both angry and resentful, with the moisture in the corners of his eyes still wet and the corners of his eyes tinged with pink. His eyelids were slightly upturned, giving him a charming and alluring look.
A strange warmth welled up in his heart. Rong Yu raised his hand, seemingly wanting to touch the corner of his eye, but Geng Qi subtly dodged away and coughed heavily.
His cough startled the young servant who hadn't seen what was happening. He quickly said, "I've come on the orders of the clan chief to deliver a message, but I don't know what it's about!"
"..."
Geng Qi then looked down at the trembling little servant boy, feeling somewhat guilty, and his voice softened: "Lead the way."
"yes."
The next moment, Geng Qi's guilt towards the young servant boy vanished instantly. After saying "Yes," he disappeared outside the wooden house in the blink of an eye.
Geng Qi turned his head blankly: "Do you know where Yinquan Cave is?"
He suspected that the young page was only there to deliver a message, not to lead the way!
Rong Yu hummed in agreement, picked him up by the waist, and chased after the little servant boy in the direction he had left.
As Qinghan watched the two leave, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, his body stiffened, and a protrusion shot from his waist to his neck, revealing a pair of gleaming white scorpion pincers from his collar. In his true form, he spoke in human language: "Shall we do it like this too?"
"..."
Qing Han's face flushed red, and the next second the scorpion was grabbed by its pincers and thrown to the ground.
The white-clad youth darted back into the house, while the gleaming white scorpion, trailing its emerald green stinger, moved with incredible speed, disappearing through the crack in the door.
On the other side, two people stood in front of a waterfall. The waterfall split spontaneously in the middle of the cliff, revealing a cave in the cliff.
If the waterfall had sealed off the cave entrance, perhaps a stone monkey would have lived inside.
The pageboy who had left first waited at the bottom of the waterfall. When he saw the two men following, he bowed respectfully and said, "Please, gentlemen."
It would be hard for anyone to tell that this timid and adorable little servant boy actually has the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage!
No wonder he and Qinghan got along so well!
The three of them left the ground and headed straight into the cave. Suddenly, their vision dimmed, and after they entered, the water curtain suddenly fell down, but there were no stone monkeys in the cave.
Geng Qi looked around. The cave walls were uneven and overgrown with weeds, making it seem like a place that had been abandoned for a long time.
After leaving the Demon Palace, he seemed to have been constantly drilling holes.
The Bone Rock Cave in Yandan Sect, the Phoenix Cave in the Wilderness Secret Realm, the forbidden area in the back mountain of Tianzhi Sect, and after entering Yiling Sect, there is now Yinquan Cave.
Modern cultivators really love digging holes!
"Please follow me, both of you."
The young attendant continued forward, and the deeper they went into the cave, the darker their vision became. Geng Qi habitually lit a fire, but seeing the person leading the way quickly dart away, wishing he could stay at least eight feet away from the flames, he had no choice but to extinguish it.
After walking for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a light suddenly seeped in from ahead. Before they could readjust, the bright light suddenly pierced their eyes, and the two instinctively closed their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, they were greeted by a sea of flowers, colorful and fragrant. Turning around, they saw no cave behind them, and found themselves standing in mid-air above the flower field.
Looking at the woman in green standing opposite him, Geng Qi smiled and asked, "What is the meaning of this, Clan Chief Wan Yue?"
Bringing the two of them to this place with its heavy spiritual pressure doesn't seem like a purpose for negotiation.
Wan Yue stared at them intently, her expression indifferent and aloof. This seemed to be a unique expression of the Yi Ling Sect, and Rong Yu always treated others the same way.
If we consider kinship, Rong Yu should call this person "aunt"!
The group faced off, and the young servant boy stood behind Wan Yue, seemingly frightened by the earlier flames, cowering and not daring to look up.
"I know what you want."
Geng Qi said, "Senior Ji Rong must have already informed me."
Wan Yue's eyes darkened: "I can give you the item, but I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"Win against me and you'll be fine."
"..."
Geng Qi was taken aback, somewhat confused about what she was trying to do. He thought that Ji Rong had handed over the items after learning his identity in the secret realm because he had the clan leader's permission. He thought it would be easy to retrieve the fragments here, so why did they suddenly start fighting?
Looking down at the several Yi Ling Sect leaders standing in the sea of flowers, including Ci Gui who had stirred up trouble earlier, Geng Qi already sensed something was amiss. He raised an eyebrow and said, "If we lose, I wonder what Clan Chief Wan Yue wants?"
Wan Yue said, "If he loses, this person shall return to his clan!"
