After Xu Yinglian finished soaking in the hot spring, she changed into a Dao robe and came out. She received a message from her senior brother.
After meeting up with Qiu Changtian and hearing him finish introducing task, she frowned and asked,
“The mission target was just earth ants, yet you want to team up with other disciples? There’s no need to seek help considering our strength.”
“We’re all from the same sect. It’s rare for us to meet, so it wouldn’t be too much for us to help each other.” Qiu Changtian smiled as he explained.
If I don’t team up with others, how am I going to show off and increase my synchronization points? Am I only going to use you?
It’s all because I cherish you! Ying Lian, Junior Sister!
Xu Yinglian looked at him suspiciously, obviously not understanding his senior brother’s good intentions. After a while, she nodded and said,
“It doesn’t matter. I came with you anyway.”
When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, they saw five outer sect disciples waiting at the entrance.
Liu Daoran’s face was filled with impatience and contempt, but when he saw Xu Yinglian, his eyes immediately were stuck on her. It was actually the real Her Highness!
There was no such thing as “long-straight-black-hair pretty” in this world, but the mainstream aesthetics were still heavily biased toward long-black-hair girls.
Girls’ hair was preferred to be “dark without the companion of jewelry”, and skin could not be better to be “white without makeup”. In short, public advocated the beauty of nature.
Xu Yinglian’s looks and temperament were undoubtedly at the peak of this aspect.
She was dressed in a plain white robe and didn’t have a jade pendant. Her face was pure and not stained with makeup. Her black hair was like a waterfall and didn’t have a pearl hairpin. She only used a belt to tie it casually, and it poked at the mainstream aesthetic point everywhere.
The three Kunlun male disciples were dazed for a moment before they quickly reacted. They straightened their backs and put on a humble and elegant posture.
On the other hand, the other two Kunlun female disciples were originally quite happy to see Qiu Changtian return, but when they saw Xu Yinglian’s appearance, they immediately felt some instinctive rejection and jealousy.
Everyone introduced themselves again, and when it was her turn, she simply said, “Xu Yinglian,” and stood beside Qiu Changtian without saying anything.
“Does she happen to have the same name as Xu Yinglian? Or did she give herself a fake name on purpose?” Wen Qin curled her lips and said. Liu Yiyi hurriedly pulled her arm. “Keep your voice down.”
Liu Daoran, who had doubted whether she was Her Highness, was currently explaining the contents of the mission to Xu Yinglian with Lu Zheng.
Hu Haozhi was confident that he was one generation older than everyone else, so he couldn’t lower himself to explain it. Therefore, he just kept nodding, indicating that “they’re right, and I approve.”
“I’ll only listen to Senior Brother Qiu.” Xu Yinglian spoke indifferently after the male disciples finished speaking.
Seeing the three of them deflated, the two female disciples could not help but cover their mouths and laugh.
Everyone had their own thoughts as they rode their sword lights and flew towards Old Dragon Ridge.
Along the way, there were tall grasslands, herds of cows and sheep, and herdsmen’s tents dotted the area. In the distance, there was a green field and blue sky, with snow-capped peaks extending endlessly, making one feel relaxed and happy at the “vastness of the world”.
Considering that there were exactly seven people in the team, Qiu Changtian wanted to say “Seven Swords Descend the Heavenly Mountain”, but considering that no one would understand this joke, he could only give up.
In order to test the synchronization mechanism of Imitation Mode, he chatted with the female disciples in the team and introduced the story of Old Dragon Ridge.
Wen Qin and Liu Yiyi praised him for being “knowledgeable”, but the synchronization value didn’t change at all.
Xu Yinglian snorted and said, “Senior Brother, do you think I don’t know this?” As a result, the synchronization value+1.
It was clear that even though Qiu Changtian showed off in their presence, the two outer sect female disciples didn’t truly feel that he was formidable, only pretending to worship him in order to curry favor with him.
Junior Sister Xu, on the other hand, didn’t know the story behind the Old Dragon Ridge. She was very concerned that she had lost to her senior brother in terms of knowledge, so she had contributed a little bit of synchronization value.
That’s why my junior sister is the cutest. What kind of precious species are you outer sect disciples?
Crap!
Fortunately, he had brought his junior sister along on this trip!

Back to the main topic, north of the main peak of the Old Dragon Ridge, there was a long and narrow valley called “Dazhi Valley.”
There was a river in the Dazhi Valley called the “Camel River” by the locals.
The spirit stone mine was located at the source of the Camel River. Several deacons and a large group of miners were standing outside the mine with worried expressions.
After Qiu Changtian’s group of seven landed, the deacons hurried forward as if they had found a life-saving straw.
“The immortals are finally here!”
“Don’t be anxious,” Qiu Changtian said gently. “We have limited time. Tell us about the demon beasts first.”
Hearing this, Lu Zheng was a little unhappy. He had wanted to ask about this matter, but Qiu Changtian had taken the initiative. It was as if Qiu Changtian was the leader.
However, if he argued with Qiu Changtian, he would definitely have words with the other female teammates. Liu Daoran’s fate was still in front of him, so he remained silent and listened to the deacons speak in detail.
It turned out that a few days ago, a miner suddenly went missing in the mine, and there was a faint flash of blood in the depths of the mine.
The deacons thought that it was some wild beast, such as a cave bear, so they organized the miners to go in and investigate.
In the end, they found human-eating ants inside.
Demonic beasts were different from wild beasts. The latter could be dealt with by shooting arrows, but the former required flying swords.
Therefore, the deacon hurriedly reported it to the sect, and the steward’s hall issued missions to the Qi Refining disciples.
After listening to the report, their team walked to a corner and started discussing.
“What do you think?” Lu Zheng had learned his lesson earlier. He didn’t wait for Qiu Changtian to speak. Instead, he took the initiative to bring up the topic. He wanted to preside over this discussion and put on a good performance in front of Xu Yinglian.
“What else can we do? They’re just ants. Let’s just kill our way in.” Hu Haozhi said impatiently.
“What do you think, Senior Brother Qiu?” Wen Qin asked with a smile.
“It would have been better if the beasts were just Earth Ants,” Qiu Changtian said seriously. “But do you remember? The warden said that on the day of the incident, there was a faint bloody glow in the cave.”
He called the wardens over again and asked them what had happened. The wardens confirmed that there had been bloody light inside the cave at the time.
“Then here comes the problem.” Qiu Changtian dismissed the deacons and said calmly, “Earth ants do not know the Five-Spirit Spells, so where did the bloody light come from?”
“Bloody light is just an adjective,” Lu Zheng objected. “It’s possible that the light reflected by the blood splattered on the wall after an earth ant attacked its prey.”
Qiu Changtian was speechless.
What’s wrong with his brain for him to think that the bloody light was the reflection of blood?
I checked with the deacons again and again about the ‘bloody light’. ‘Were you not there just now so you didn’t hear it, or did you have bad ears?’
“Don’t worry.” Liu Daoran stole a glance at Xu Yinglian’s expression before smiling at Qiu Changtian. “If you’re afraid, you can stay behind the team.”
Xu Yinglian raised her eyebrows in shock when she heard Qiu Changtian ridiculing her senior brother. She turned around and asked Qiu Changtian in a low voice,
“What’s wrong with him?”
“He was just jealous,” Qiu Changtian replied softly. “After all, Junior Sister is pretty.”

“How boring.” Xu Yinglian was a little speechless. “Why can’t they focus on the righteous path?”
“Exactly,” Autumn said.
Seeing the two of them whispering to each other like a couple, the faces of the five outer sect disciples beside them darkened.
We… we were all from the same sect, how could they have no mercy?
You’re hurting us with your lovey-dovey!
