After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

As the sound grew louder, a small, energetic figure burst through the crowd and rushed to the rabbit spirit stone!

The two disciples who had just been arguing with Lei Ziyue immediately changed their expressions when they saw Luo Zhenhuan appear.

The two men stood at attention and respectfully greeted, "Junior Uncle, you've arrived."

The forest was too big, the bushes too tall, and Luo Zhen was short with short legs and poor vision, so he couldn't find his way when he ran, and he was always a step behind when catching treasures.

With the appearance of Luo Huanzhen, the disciples who were originally in a chaotic state suddenly split into two distinct groups.

One group of people was smaller and stood a little further inside.

The other group mostly surrounded the outer edge of this cliff, near the forest.

Lei Ziyue's face turned pale and then flushed.

Now everything became clear: these disciples were actually the same people Luo Huanzhen had taken away earlier.

Luo Huanzhen wiped the sweat from his face and ordered in a childish voice, "What are you standing there for? Pack it up! I'll distribute it to you later!"

"yes!"

The two disciples who had tied up the rabbit responded loudly.

They looked at Su Mingyue and Lei Ziyue, who were blocking the way of the rabbit spirit stone. "Junior Sister Su, Senior Brother Lei, could you please move aside?"

Su Mingyue didn't want to give in. She looked at her two disciples pitifully and said, "This is my first time experiencing a secret realm. I...I really like this rabbit spirit stone..."

Normally, whenever she acts like this, her senior brothers will unconditionally spoil and indulge her, so she spoke up subconsciously.

But upon hearing her words, the two disciples burst out laughing.

"But Junior Sister Su, this is our first time going down into a secret realm."

"I like rabbit spirit stones too! Who doesn't like spirit stones? They can be used for cultivation and also for spending. Not to mention such a big one."

Su Mingyue was embarrassed by the laughter and turned to Lei Ziyue for help with red eyes.

Lei Ziyue's gaze sharpened like a hawk's as he stared at Luo Huanzhen, questioning, "Were you eavesdropping on me? Such a young age and such deep cunning! If you want to be the team leader, you can talk to your revered elder; who would dare disobey him? There's no need for this!"

Before Luo Huanzhen could speak, the disciples surrounding him spoke first:

"Senior Brother Lei, what do you mean? Don't speak so aggressively! Who was eavesdropping on you?"

"Don't bully kids just because you're big!"

When the disciples followed Luo Zhenhuan up the mountain, they didn't take his words about being the leader to heart.

It wasn't until Luo Zhenzhen kicked a passing toad to death on her way up the mountain, and the toad transformed into a fist-sized high-grade spirit stone which she held in her hand, that everyone realized she wasn't joking.

She really wants to be the team leader.

And Luo Zhenhuan then fulfilled his responsibilities as team leader.

They couldn't be as perceptive as her, able to detect treasures from miles away, so she taught them to sense spiritual energy fluctuations when they got close.

She takes the lead, and her disciples act as her henchmen. Under her guidance, they have already found a total of ten treasures.

Therefore, when they saw Lei Ziyue bullying Luo Zhenhuan, everyone spontaneously spoke up to defend Luo Zhenhuan.

Lei Ziyue frowned and said unhappily, "Stop pretending. How did you know this rabbit was a living treasure if you weren't eavesdropping?"

Luo Huanzhen put his hands on his hips and said disdainfully, "Can't I know? It's obvious. I can sense that it's a treasure from a great distance."

Lei Ziyue gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, saying, "Luo Huanzhen, stop messing around. This one's for Mingyue, the next one's for you. Okay?"

"No, this is ours!" Luo Huanzhen waved his short hand, looking very proud and arrogant. "Hurry up and pack! We can't waste time, I'm taking you up the mountain!"

There are no more treasures on the way up the mountain.

Seeing this, Su Mingyue anxiously tugged at Lei Ziyue's sleeve: "Second Senior Brother."

This is her lucky charm.

Having your prize stolen is a very bad omen.

Lei Ziyue patted Su Mingyue's hand and ordered the people behind him, "Go, take it back."

Nothing happened.

Lei Ziyue turned his head and frowned as he looked at the disciples behind him.

Some were looking at the sky, some were staring at the ground, some were picking their nails, and some were whistling.

It just won't move.

Lei Ziyue flew into a rage: "Are you deaf?!"

Seeing this scene, the disciples surrounding Luo Zhenhuan could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.

"Tsk. Why steal it? It's not yours anyway."

"Yes, that's right. After all, Senior Brother Lei has already 'decided' to give this spirit stone to his dear junior sister."

Amidst the mocking and sarcastic gazes of Luo Zhenhuan's group, the disciples looked resentfully at Lei Ziyue and Su Mingyue.

They used to like Su Mingyue quite a bit.

They also envied the camaraderie between Su Mingyue and her fellow disciples, but when they entered the secret realm and found that Lei Ziyue was also forcing them to pamper Su Mingyue, everyone got annoyed.

If you don't have the strength, why do you come to the secret realm trial?

We don't owe you anything!

Lei Ziyue's perceived situation: over 700 people vs. over 300 people.

The actual situation: two people vs. more than three hundred people.

Even after they had taken the rabbit spirit stone, Luo Huanzhen led about three hundred people away in a swaggering manner, and still no one stopped them.

Not only did they not stop them, they even went with them—

"Senior brother, when you were catching rabbits earlier, you said you had already caught ten. Is that true?"

"Definitely."

"How will we divide it then?"

"Junior Uncle said that everyone will receive a share based on their contribution."

"We'll go with you too. Senior Brother Lei and Junior Sister Su are such a jerk..."

Upon hearing all this, Lei Ziyue's face turned bright red with anger.

These opportunistic guys.

But it doesn't matter, it's good that they're all gone! He doesn't have to worry about so many disciples anymore, and can wholeheartedly protect Mingyue now.

Lei Ziyue turned his head and said, "Mingyue, don't worry, your senior brother will definitely protect you and find the treasure for you..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Lei Ziyue stared wide-eyed at the empty space behind him—

Where is his junior sister Su?!

Did he also follow Luo Huanzhen?

……

Yes, Su Mingyue left with Luo Huanzhen.

She took off her glass boots and secretly took the healing pills that Zhao Qing had prepared for her, then followed barefoot quietly behind the crowd.

There were less than three miles left, and she could keep going.

Su Mingyue had been thinking about when to make a move against Luo Huanzhen.

She originally wanted to wait until later to make her move, but when she heard that Luo Huanzhen and the others had already found ten treasures, Su Mingyue didn't want to wait any longer.

She must have the treasure-hunting artifact that Yun Yao gave her.

We must eliminate her as soon as possible and obtain the treasure-hunting artifact to maximize the benefits of this trip to the secret realm.
