The girl glanced at the rules, hesitated for a moment, then jogged over and approached Xie Mo.

The runes stopped working, and what he saw was an extremely lively little girl, crouching furtively beside him, her gaze lowered as if she were studying something.

Shemo asked, "What's wrong?"

Yunxi hummed softly, "Could you help me pick up my little red flag?"

She said, "It seems like I left it here."

"?"

Xie Mo was even more puzzled.

If he remembered correctly, the little red flag was simply made by Yunxi using a twig and a piece of red cloth; it was very crude and not a treasure at all.

Xie Mo whispered, "What do you need that for?"

Yunxi whispered, "That red flag holds a little secret of our ancestor."

"!!!"

Xie Mo's eyes widened, and he whispered, "What secret?"

Just as she was about to speak, thunder roared again from the sky.

It seems that the old ancestor discovered the bug and issued a warning with a lightning card.

Yunxi immediately squatted down obediently, hugging her knees with both hands, showing a well-behaved expression. Her bright eyes first looked up at the sky, then down at Xie Mo, and blinked, indicating that she was powerless to help.

The main problem is that this old ancestor is a bit of a handful. The rules say that Xie Mo should only find it herself, but they don't say that she can't get directions. Besides, she didn't even give directions; she just vaguely mentioned her idea and got a warning.

Xie Mo was startled awake by the thunder. In a daze, he realized that his junior sister's little red flag was related to the secret realm's inheritance. His eyes were complicated, but he still managed a forced smile: "I understand. Thank you, junior sister."

Since he needed to find the little red flag, Xie Mo had no choice but to start from scratch and traverse the secret realm again.

This time he had a new plan: he chose to try and break through all the formations he had previously deliberately avoided in an attempt to find a way out.

After he left, Qi Jue asked curiously in a low voice, "Junior Sister, do you know where the inheritance is?"

Yunxi shook her head: "I don't know."

A huge question mark appeared above Qi Jue's head.

She thought for a moment: "I do have a tiny bit of an idea."

Nightfall echoed the same question: "There's nothing here, yet you can still see something."

Yunxi looked up and met Ye Jin's gaze.

Half a second later, she gave a meaningful smile.

Yunxi: "Thank goodness for you, Third Senior Brother (●'◡'●)"

Ye Jin instinctively stepped back, a chill creeping over him as she smiled eerily. "What does this have to do with me!"

Yunxi didn't know how to explain it.

Moreover, if I explain too much at this point, the higher-ups might think I've broken the rules.

After thinking for a moment, she decided not to explain and ran back to continue refining the weapon.

"..."

Nightfall looked startled and frowned, "What are you doing?"

My junior sister is a strange person, and the things she does seem strange too.

Instead of using any materials, she used the newly derived snake blood vine to weave two... coarse twisted ropes.

The two twisted ropes looked exactly alike, and at that moment they were swaying together on the rocks.

Yunxi used a rock as a workbench to weave twists, and then she started disassembling the workbench, hammering away with a small tool hammer until tiny red particles appeared.

It seemed that Ye Jin had too much to say, and appeared to have lost his strength.

Because of Yunxi's words, he also became curious about where the inheritance of this secret realm was located, so he looked around.

The more I look...

Ye Jin felt something was wrong.

After three months of uneventful time in the secret realm, the two braids were woven into two braids adorned with small red headdresses.

Xie Mo had just broken through an illusion array and pulled out a small red flag from the still-burnt haystack.

A familiar blue array rose up beneath his feet.

The boy suddenly stumbled into a runic world where he was all alone. The dense, strange runes in front of him were the inheritance he was about to receive.

The runes, like leaping symbols, lined up and drilled into his head.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted forth. Xie Mo closed his eyes and began to comprehend it. Those familiar yet unfamiliar runes seemed to be enhanced versions of the runes he had learned before.

……

Inside the secret realm, several people who heard the commotion gathered around and formed a small circle outside the formation.

Yunxi noticed the little red flag in his hand and proudly shook her head, "See? I told you I could guess it!"

"That's amazing." Qi Jue praised without any reservation.

Then he asked, "How did you guess?"

Now that Xie Mo had discovered the inheritance, she saw no need to hide it and honestly replied, "Because this place looks a lot like the top of the ancestor's head that was burned by my third senior brother."

Nightfall: "?"

At first, Yunxi only guessed. The first thing she saw when she entered this secret realm was that it looked like it had been burned down.

Moreover, before this, Yunxi had examined the ancestor's statue, and only the top was covered in ash, showing signs of being burned by someone.

Therefore, Yunxi guessed that this was the top of the ancestral statue's head.

"!!!"

Qi Jue reacted for a moment, then slapped his palm with his fist: "No wonder Junior Sister entered the secret realm after inserting the little red flag."

"Second Brother, if you pull out the little red flag, you can receive the inheritance."

The sect's inheritance secret realm was actually set up very simply from the beginning. After all, he was the ancestor, and he certainly wouldn't leave any dangerous secret realms for his own mischievous children. He simply wanted to let a few kids play around and find a successor for himself.

Now that the successor has been found, the ancestor seems to be having a lot of fun.

Qi Jue let out a kitten-like exclamation: "Wonderful!"

He said softly, "If the Abyss of Ten Thousand Spirits were as simple and fun as this, we could go and play together."

It seems that none of them can go to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Can't go...?

Yunxi wasn't particularly interested in secret realms or anything like that.

It's good that someone plays with her.

However, Ye Jin casually remarked, "Xie Mo still really wants to go to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Spirits."

Yunxi's eyes lit up, and her little brain began to work quickly.

While Xie Mo was receiving the inheritance, she beckoned to the others and gathered them together, where they began to whisper among themselves.

"Let's steal our second senior brother away!" the girl said cheerfully.

Nightfall: "?"

Qi Jue exclaimed, "What a great idea!"

His eyes were filled with admiration: "As expected of you, junior sister."

"..."

Nightfall looked to the left, then to the right.

Finally, feeling somewhat weary, he rubbed his temples and made his only request.

"We only have this one senior brother."

He said, "Don't let him ruin it."

After all, Xie Mo was riddled with illness and poison. During their time in the secret realm, Ye Jin couldn't help but glance at him every now and then, fearing that he might vomit blood and die on the spot because he couldn't find the location of the inheritance.

The Abyss of Myriad Spirits is different from this place; it's far more dangerous, teeming with demonic beasts and riddled with perilous rune arrays.

Nightfall's worries were not unfounded.

Yunxi was even more smug at this moment: "Don't worry, I've prepared a sure-fire winning weapon for my second senior brother."

Nightfall: "?"

She said mysteriously, "You'll find out then!"
