Chapter 1970

Sikong Xuran sighed. "Speaking of my senior brother, he was quite famous back then, especially among the five academies. He was a rare talent of his time. Once, he obtained a map of the Pingchuan Forest, rumored to be a secret realm, so he came here and never returned. We still cannot tell if he is alive or dead."

"Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are in heaven. Why worry about it?" Jian Feiyan said from the side. "Actually, even if someone died, if we got a map to a secret realm, we would still dare to enter. It has nothing to do with danger."

"Second Senior Sister is right," Zhu Yanyi agreed. "It’s mostly about human nature. If it were me, I wouldn’t be interested. If I had time to explore a secret realm, I’d rather go home and sleep."

"Hehe." Everyone laughed, thinking in unison: So this is the kind of junior sister you are.

"Junior Sister, don’t you think it’s wrong to be so lazy?" Wen Ziyuan asked curiously.

"Why is it wrong?" Zhu Yanyi asked seriously. "I’ve done what I needed to do. Just like this trip. The Dean should have led us, but she dumped it on me. Fine, she dumped it on me, so I came. I was very responsible, right? So normally, it’s okay to slack off a bit. Good steel must be used on the blade’s edge."

"Is that how you use 'good steel on the blade’s edge'?" Ouyang Tianyun looked at Zhu Yanyi speechless.

Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. "Don’t nitpick. You get the idea."

Everyone laughed heartily, and the flying boat was filled with joy again.

Zhu Yanyi wouldn’t come to the Pingchuan area now, but she had a plan. She decided to visit someday. For some reason, she felt something belonging to her was in the Pingchuan Forest. She shook her head. The feeling was strange, but her five senses were very sensitive. Since she had this feeling, she couldn’t ignore the forest. But the timing wasn’t right now, so she couldn’t come yet.

Zhu Yanyi led the group toward the Lucky Forest. Yan Aohan looked furious.

"I injured Xiangyao, but it still escaped. You couldn’t even stop one fierce beast. What good are you?" Yan Aohan released his pressure, and the Yin Messengers present knelt down, admitting their faults.

Zhan Diting hurriedly said, "Boss, this Xiangyao is too cunning. Among these ancient fierce beasts, it is the most cunning. We didn’t expect it to run away so cleanly."

Yan Aohan waved his hand. "These are no excuses. Go investigate. I don’t want to see another plane suffer disaster because of Xiangyao."

"But Boss, we don’t know where to look," Lao Hei said.

Yan Aohan pondered for a moment, then pointed at the air. An image appeared, showing Zhu Yanyi tricking Xiangyao. Seeing Xiangyao restore its true form and flee, Yan Aohan looked at Zhan Diting. "Aren’t you going to chase it?"

Zhan Diting nodded. Before leaving, he muttered, "Why do I feel like the little sister-in-law is so fierce?"

The other Yin Messengers looked at each other, then vanished.

Yan Aohan pondered for a moment. Still uneasy, he decided to visit Zhu Yanyi. He vanished from there to find his wife.

"In two days, we’ll reach the second jump point. Let’s check if we need to replenish supplies," Zhu Yanyi said.

"No. Our supplies are sufficient. We could eat for years without issue. We just need to check the flying boat’s condition," Yi Yunfei said.

They didn’t have much time to rest. If it were a trip, they might slow down, but now they were rescuing the Lucky Forest, so they stopped as little as possible.

"Fine. We’ll check the flying boat then. If it’s fine, we’ll jump directly," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.

"Junior Sister, can you ask Third Senior Brother Tianyun to make some roasted meat? My mouth tastes bland lately," Li Zhengyong said.

Zhu Yanyi thought it was a big deal. Hearing this, she smiled. "Just ask Third Senior Brother directly. She’s a culinary cultivator. Unless it’s a principle issue, she won’t refuse."

"What if it is a principle issue?" The voice was clear, likely someone familiar. Zhu Yanyi stepped out of the flying boat and looked at the person. "Silver Fox, long time no see."

Indeed, the person blocking the path in mid-air was Silver Fox. He wore silver half-armor. Though it was warrior’s armor, it somehow gave him a scholar’s vibe.

"Long time no see, Little Divine Doctor." Silver Fox knew Zhu Yanyi would pass by, so he waited here specially.

"I wonder why the dignified Clan Leader of the Heavenly Fox Clan is blocking my path?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously. Seeing her appearance, she knew she had regained her status as Clan Leader.

Silver Fox smiled slightly. "I have something to ask you."

"Just say it. If I can help, I will. If not, don’t ask. You know I never challenge limits casually. That’s not my style," Zhu Yanyi said, spreading her hands.

"I heard you’ve been to the Pool of Reincarnation," Silver Fox asked.

Zhu Yanyi understood why she came. She sighed and answered, "Yes, I have been there." There was no need to hide this, so she answered directly.

"Then you should know our relationship?" Silver Fox looked at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "Don’t talk about relationships casually. If my Aohan finds out, she’ll get jealous."

"That’s right. I know I’ll get jealous. So, Silver Fox, don’t try to claim a relationship casually." Yan Aohan appeared with a smile, standing on the other side.

Zhu Yanyi grimaced. "Hurry up. If you have business, speak. If not, I need to travel. I can’t stay here long. The Lucky Forest is waiting for us."

Although she was happy Yan Aohan appeared, Zhu Yanyi knew her duty. She couldn’t waste time.

Yan Aohan hummed, then looked at Silver Fox. "Silver Fox, let’s find a place to talk. I know your question, and I know the answer. Don’t disturb Ani here."

Silver Fox hadn’t planned to disturb Zhu Yanyi. He only came to ask one question. Since Yan Aohan knew the answer, he didn’t need to delay her. He threw a red object into Zhu Yanyi’s arms.
