Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Everyone, including Lu Yingqiu, gave their own answer at this moment.

Of course.

"One, two, three, four, five!" — Zhang Ruoxue

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!" — Lu Yingqiu

"Yunping is a complete idiot!" — Ning Xuchen

Three distinctly different voices.

……

……

……

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

After this inexplicable silence, Ning Xuchen and his apprentice Lu Yingqiu stared at Zhang Ruoxue in disbelief, while Zhang Ruoxue stared back at them in disbelief.

The three of them, without prior arrangement—

"ha????"

That's right.

Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon—this was the pre-arranged code.

No one answered!

"What's going on...?"

The scholar-like Ning Xuchen stared blankly at the silver-haired girl with her head down not far away, as if he had seen a ghost.

He really wanted to know what was going on.

And Ye Yuchan—

hum.

The spiritual energy surged forth.

Those sharp eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruoxue beside him. Her face was extremely gloomy, and her tone was filled with endless hostility.

He drew the bow and nocked the arrow in one fluid motion, and the highly lethal arrow tip was aimed at Zhang Ruoxue, who was looking completely bewildered.

"As expected, Ruoxue, you are the embodiment of resentment!"

"Huh??? I...I?" Zhang Ruoxue was stunned. She didn't know what she had done wrong, and her face was full of innocence: "It wasn't me, Yu Chan, you must have made a mistake!!"

"There's no way there could be a mistake."

Ye Yuchan took a step forward, her aura exceptionally imposing: "Ruoxue, your code is completely wrong. What kind of nonsense code is 'one, two, three, four, five'?"

"me……"

Zhang Ruoxue's face flushed slightly, and she looked a little embarrassed.

She stared at the arrow that seemed ready to be released at any moment, swallowed hard, and then managed to explain, "My brain isn't that sharp... you know... that tickling thing... who can remember that!"

"So I'll just say one, two, three, four, five on the spot. Anyway, they're all five characters, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"This is a huge problem!"

Ye Yuchan's spiritual energy continued to surge, as if it would shoot towards Zhang Ruoxue's brow at any moment.

"You can't even remember five words? Ruoxue may be stupid, but she's definitely not stupid to this extent."

Zhang Ruoxue took a deep breath, blushing slightly, and then said loudly, "Yu Chan... am I really that stupid? Don't overthink it!"

However, Ye Yuchan seemed convinced that the Zhang Ruoxue in front of her was a fake, and was clearly preparing to launch an attack.

That being said.

"Wait a moment, Master Ye."

Lu Yingqiu suddenly stepped forward, her expression filled with an indescribable complexity.

“Master Ye, Master Ruoxue may just be a little too nervous in this situation. In fact, judging from her performance... cough cough, to put it bluntly, it is indeed unlikely that she can remember it.”

"Those five words have no logical coherence, so it's possible that they're hard to remember, especially in such a... dangerous situation."

"Oh?"

Ye Yuchan's lips curled into a cold smile.

Suddenly, the sharp arrow was pointed at Lu Yingqiu.

She stared intently at her junior apprentice, her deadpan eyes filled with contempt: "I haven't even said anything to you yet, and you're already in such a hurry to help your wolf teammate?"

"Me...?" A look of confusion flashed across Lu Yingqiu's face.

"You were the one who suggested the code. Five minutes is enough to drain a lot of our spiritual energy, so you brought it up for that reason and are trying to buy time, aren't you?"

"I didn't, Master Ye!"

Lu Yingqiu shook her head, her face full of anxiety, seemingly not wanting Ye Yuchan to misunderstand her: "Besides, I didn't give the wrong signal..."

"Wrong."

"...Huh?"

Ye Yuchan's words startled Lu Yingqiu, who looked utterly horrified.

Those intriguing black eyes stared at the petite girl, and she said coldly, "I clearly told you to say carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon. Why did you say something like 'Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger,' which I've never even heard of?"

"Didn't you use telepathy..."

Upon seeing his master in trouble, Ning Xuchen, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward to defend Lu Yingqiu.

"You said, Master Ye, that you have a way to find the incarnations of our resentment, so you sent us a message, asking me to..."

……

……

He couldn't finish his sentence.

Ning Xuchen's eyes widened, as if he had already realized the problem.

Qianxun Novel Free Transfer Group 255595300 in the distance.

The silver-haired girl let out a long sigh of relief.

"It seems... my brain is still pretty sharp."

She puffed out her flat chest with a hint of pride and smiled.

next moment.

The silver arrow split in two, aimed at—

Standing in front of him were Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen, the master and disciple.

"From the very first time you gave me the code, I suspected you were deliberately stalling for time."

"Actually, five minutes shouldn't affect the memories of the vengeful spirit at all, right? Memory distortions are more likely to occur over time."

"So... this was originally a code that could never be right or wrong—if I hadn't secretly transmitted it to you."

Ye Yuchan looked at Ning Xuchen and Lu Yingqiu, whose faces were solemn, and continued, "Just now, the four of us went in four different directions, and I also told you not to tell anyone."

"I believe that if it were a real person, they wouldn't be so brainless as to tell others about my telepathic communication. So, here's the question—"

She smiled and looked at the thin scholar Ning Xuchen in the distance, uttering a question that resonated deep within her soul.

"How did you know that I used telepathy on Junior Nephew Lu?"

"Because...everyone's code...is different from before."

"Couldn't it be a case of resentment manifesting in a state of memory confusion? We still don't know how long a resentment manifesting in a state of memory confusion can exist before it occurs. How could you be so sure just now that it wasn't a memory confusion?"

"..."

"Furthermore, just now, when you stood up to defend your master, you clearly said 'transmitted your voice to us,' using the word 'we,' right?"

"And when Ruoxue said the code I had prepared for her in advance, 'one, two, three, four, five,' you two both seemed very surprised, but you didn't react much to the other's different codes."

"That's because the moment I transmitted my voice, you, who are also incarnations of resentment and part of this Lost Forest of Death, already knew the content of my voice transmission."

"The reason I stood up to protect Ruoxue was only to prevent me from suspecting you after the staff was reduced. Leaving Zhang Ruoxue with an unclear background would only benefit you and not harm you."

"A single suspicious point could be considered a coincidence, but if multiple coincidences are linked together..."

There can only be one answer.

Ye Yuchan slowly relaxed her bent bow.

call out!call out!

The silver spiritual arrow shot away.

The silver-haired girl's hair fluttered in the wind.

"From the very beginning..."

"You two are the deepest wolves in the water."

9. Jitian Yihong

The horizon is shattered.

As the silver light pierced through the dawn, the dark bell of the heavens rang out a mournful sound.

That being that should have been able to manipulate people's hearts and lives at will, an existence that has been little known since its birth—at this moment, the vast and boundless grassland collapsed rapidly and returned to its origin in an instant.

If a part of the secret realm is breached, then the existence of the secret realm itself should also disappear accordingly.

Lost Forest of Death.

The legendary, alluring secret realm has now been officially breached.

That vast grassland vanished in the blink of an eye—from beginning to end, even the land beneath Ye Yuchan and the others' feet was nothing more than a constructed illusion.
