Zhongli Yuelu pouted and stepped into the portal.
Qianqiu Changhuan and the several noble ladies accompanying her arrived later.
They exchanged glances, and whoever was paired with Zhongli Yueluo would try to trip him up.
After all, she had won over the young masters of various noble families over the past hundred years, and she was quite shameless.
Moreover, Qianqiu Changhuan also noticed that Yan Ruoyu was only outwardly cold to Zhongli Yueluo, but secretly they would still meet.
In the air, she began to complain again that her brother was useless, having failed to win over Zhongli Yueluo's heart all these years.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and all his previous schemes to trick her failed.
This time in the secret realm, she wanted to see if she would still have such good luck.
The group all walked into the portal. Suijun waved his hand, and the portal closed. He sat there, with a plate of melon seeds next to him.
He Yuhuan hated melon seeds because her teeth were too sharp to crack them open. Seeing her dark face, Shui Jun put out a plate of peanuts.
He then waved his hand, and a mirror appeared in front of him, allowing him to clearly see the movements of the people inside.
"Old man, go watch my master, I don't like watching them."
"This can't be cut, you'll have to make do with it."
As a teacher, he couldn't just focus on one student; he had to keep track of everyone's activities.
Although he wouldn't interfere in matters within the secret realm, he couldn't let them go too far; at the very least, he had to ensure their safety.
Zhongli Yueluo stepped through the portal and a familiar scene appeared before her. "Eh? Isn't this the Myriad Flower Pavilion?"
A familiar figure appeared ahead; it was Chang Yu Muling, dressed in a black and blue robe.
He had been frowning, looking somewhat disappointed, because there were two other women standing next to him.
They are Jiang and Xu, who are Qianqiu Changhuan's followers.
Jiang and Xu exchanged a glance, surprised that they had actually been assigned to be with Zhongli Yueluo.
Their gazes were filled with hostility, so Zhongli Yueluo naturally wouldn't give them a friendly look.
However, she first surveyed the surroundings, as the most important thing this time was to obtain the water lily to pass the secret realm trial.
This place was indeed no different from the Wanhua Pavilion she had visited, except that she remembered the markings on the map.
Indeed, it is divided into six branches with a central point, forming a star chart shape.
I don't know which line they're on. Monsters roam every line, and the potential dangers are the most difficult to deal with.
"Yueluo, this is wonderful! I never thought it would really be with you. I was praying in my dreams last night at home."
Chang Yu Muling walked to Zhong Li Yueluo's side, tugged at her sleeve, and her eyes crinkled with laughter.
Jiang and Xu mocked from the side, "She only knows how to win by relying on men. I don't think Miss Yueluo has any real ability."
They've been saying these childish things for over a hundred years and they're still not tired of it. Zhongli Yueluo nodded without a care.
"Yes, I don't really have any skills, but if I can rely on men, that's a skill in itself, unlike you guys who can't even rely on anyone!"
She pouted, but her eyes were scanning her surroundings, which stretched as far as the eye could see, a vast expanse of calm water.
Adorned with water lilies, it truly resembles a mirror when there is no wind.
This is quite similar to the last time I picked the seven-colored lotus flowers.
"What's with that expression you're making? Are you ignoring us sisters?!"
"Instead of arguing with me, why don't you two figure out how to break this deadlock? Besides, there's a path ahead, why don't you take it?"
Zhongli Yueluo's purpose was clear: she did not want to argue with the two of them.
Before arriving here, Chang Yu Muling had already surveyed the terrain: "There seems to be a road ahead, but there is an invisible barrier."
"Moreover, I could sense a faint malice in the surroundings."
Speaking of malice, Zhongli Yuelu felt a chill run down her spine; there was definitely something lurking beneath the calm surface of the water.
Meanwhile, Madam Xu and Madam Jiang were whispering among themselves, seemingly also sensing that something was amiss beneath the water.
She's a young lady from a noble family, after all; she must have some magical abilities. She can't possibly be a useless bum.
However, compared to these large families, they are somewhat inferior.
Jiang whispered to Xu, "There's definitely some kind of aquatic magical beast lurking beneath this water."
"You mean we should stir up trouble and then push Zhongli Yueluo in?"
Jiang revealed a sinister smile: "It would be even better if she could die inside."
"What good will her death do you? You'll still be dominated by Qianqiu Changhuan!" Madam Xu still needed to be a little soft-hearted.
"At least I have one less competitor, which gives me more opportunities to enter higher-level institutions."
In the end, he still cared about his family and was willing to risk his life for them.
Most magical beasts are attracted by blood, and Jiang took out the dagger she always carried from her waist.
He made a cut on his palm, leaned against the railing, and blood dripped down the railing into the water.
At first there was no reaction, until more and more blood flowed from her palm, and the water where he was standing was covered with a pool of blood.
Zhongli Yueluo and Changyu Muling were still looking for mechanisms or talismans that could unlock the transparent barrier in front of them.
Then a gust of wind blew, carrying with it a smell of earth, water, and blood.
Zhongli Yueluo was taken aback, but then she realized what the two people standing there were up to.
However, they never considered that if they summoned a giant monster, all four of them might perish.
You're as stupid as a pig!
She grabbed Chang Yu and Mu Ling and forced her way into the transparent barrier. The two of them crashed into it, creating ripples in the water.
This barrier is quite similar in concept to the one used by He Yuhuan.
Zhongli Yueluo squinted and tapped it up and down and left and right. It seemed to be both soft and hard. When pushed in, it would even dent a bit.
My mind raced, and I realized that Suicune must have taught me something like this in class.
Softness can be achieved by either being softer than it or by directly breaking through with something hard and indestructible.
"Mu Ling, you can condense water needles?"
"Okay, how so?"
"Just one needle poking the center of this barrier should crack it."
Both Xu and Jiang stood there anxiously, their brows furrowed in pain from the cracks in their hands.
With such a strong smell of blood, has it still not drawn out anything from underwater?
There was a click.
The barrier shattered, and a floral fragrance wafted from the other end of the corridor.
But when the barrier shattered, waves rose on the water's surface.
To their surprise, the ground where they were standing began to sway back and forth, and then it softened.
Chang Yu Muling subconsciously pulled Zhong Li Yuelu into her arms, the red ribbon between her brows flashing.
Zhongli Yueluo looked at him, her body slightly turned to the side, maintaining a distance.
If Chang Yu Muling falls in love with her, his evil side will surely show. Hopefully, he won't get hurt then.
Xu and Jiang felt the shaking, but instead of being worried, they showed joy and finally lured the monster out of the water.
The moment they shattered the barrier, they could have walked straight through the passage to the center.
Xu and Jiang slowly moved their bodies, their eyes filled with malice as they stared at the two of them.
