"Our Champion! You always surprise people." The Mad Old Man patted Li Rui's shoulder repeatedly, wearing a cheerful expression. If someone from the Tai Xuan Sect saw this, they wouldn't believe he was the so-called Grand Elder.
According to the Mad Old Man, there were two more monsters, and whatever was up there needed to be checked out.
"Why do you look so troubled? What's going on? Is winning first place too boring? Is being invincible too lonely?" Xi Zhi asked repeatedly, his tone laced with a hint of sarcasm.
"I have something on my mind; let's talk after the conference ends!" Li Rui said, coming back to his senses.
The Mad Old Man had never seen that kind of expression on Li Rui's face before. He nodded repeatedly. The conference ended rather abruptly; everyone thought that the Brute Force King would win this time's Champion, but there were too many unexpected variables, making it hard to catch one's breath.
As the Danhui concluded, many people began to leave one after another.
"You! There's no one else here."
"I think I just saw someone from 'Beiming'." Li Rui looked at those present and said.
This sudden statement made several people frown. What was the purpose of involving someone from 'Beiming'?
"How can you prove that? As far as I know, they wouldn't come to a place like this."
"I saw the character 'Deep' on his arm; his movements were particularly Eerie, and he was just beside us a moment ago," Li Rui murmured.
"Who?"
"That guy with the Red-Brown Hat! You must have noticed him!"
The Mad Old Man nodded slightly; it was indeed true. The 'Beiming' group always left a 'Deep' mark on their victims. Li Rui's reasoning was not without merit.
"By the way, I noticed he seemed very covetous of your Elixir. Show it to us."
"This was originally yours." Xi Zhi couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
Little did they know, the moment the box was taken out, everyone present was stunned. This...
Gone? It seemed to have vanished into thin air. How could things happen so suddenly? Xi Zhi knew that no one had ever approached her body; how did the other party manage to do this?
Even Li Rui was baffled. Just a moment ago, with a whoosh, it disappeared, and there were still several dozen meters between them; it shouldn't be possible!
Looking at Xi Zhi's anxious expression, it didn't seem like a lie; something truly strange had occurred.
"Our mission is complete, right? We should head back; my wife in Tai Xuan Sect might be waiting impatiently!" Li Rui said repeatedly.
The crazy old man nodded. Indeed, it was time to return. In this situation, he looked at Xi Zhi, seemingly wanting to gain something from her.
"I don't have anything I can offer right now, and this thing seems even more impressive than me. How about this: Old Man owes you a favor. If you need help in the future, just find me. What do you think?" Xi Zhi murmured, her tone carrying a hint of sincerity.
Li Rui didn't want to make himself uncomfortable and nodded slightly. A favor like this should not be turned down.
"Why not rest for a night before leaving?" Rui Xi and Li Mu said, looking as if they wanted to keep Li Rui here permanently, their expressions tinged with a bit of pity.
Li Rui didn't know what to say. Suddenly, both of them directly hugged him. This situation was hard to handle! Such an unexpected move.
Just as Li Rui was about to push them away, he felt that maybe it was better not to. Perhaps they wouldn't meet again in the future; what harm would it do to sacrifice his embrace once?
"I'm off now. Goodbye!" Li Rui smiled back at Rui Xi.
At that moment, the latter seemed to see something and angrily clenched her fist, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I will definitely come find you, no matter how strong you are. I will stick with you for life!" Rui Xi murmured.
However, the Brute Force King was a bit childish and wanted Li Rui to stay, but how could the latter "lie" here? Of course, he had to go to a higher place.
Moreover, Li Rui began to feel that the Tai Xuan Sect could no longer satisfy him; he should go to a higher place to explore.
"Are you leaving or not? The spaceship has already taken off."
Li Rui couldn't help but smile awkwardly, then jumped onto the spaceship, giving a naive smile to a few people on the ground who were seeing him off.
"Goodbye!"
"This should be fine now, right?" After stepping onto the spaceship, Li Rui couldn't help but ask.
"Yes! I just need to send the results over to Main Vein."
"And what about Main Vein? What's going on there?"
"You may not understand yet, but there are many Branches in the Tai Xuan Sect! You know that 'sect' refers to the sect leader, right? And within the Branches, there is the Helmsman! The level of the sect leader might be... achieving this ranking can attract attention from above and even send many people for protection!"
Li Rui began to think that his understanding was a bit vague; he never expected that there were so many stories within this Tai Xuan Sect, which couldn't be summed up in just a few words.
"So what about that matter with the Grand Master?"
"Someone will look into it. Just do your part; aren't you also a Grand Master now?"
The Mad Old Man spoke very lightly about the matter and laughed very loudly.
Li Rui couldn't help but "take advantage of the topic" and revealed what happened in the forbidden area.
Upon hearing this, the Mad Old Man slightly furrowed his brows, as if he couldn't hide anything from Li Rui's eyes.
"You're going to go in sooner or later, so you might as well go now! I can't tell you that the people inside can't reveal everything! It's just the rules of Sect. Think it over and come find me."
Li Rui couldn't help but nod, feeling delighted in his heart; it seemed there was something to be done.
At the same time, in the space of Tai Xuan Sect, there was a spaceship, and soon people realized that Li Rui had returned. In this situation, Ruo Xin stood slightly forward.
"I'm back."
"Did you come in first?" Ruo Xin couldn't help but ask.
Li Rui didn't respond; he simply wrapped his arms around Ruo Xin's waist. Everything became bold as he leaned in for a kiss, completely disregarding the feelings of the group of single people around them.
This scene was truly comical, even Mad Old Man didn't think much of it. He could only shake his head and smile bitterly as he looked at his own calloused hands.
"It seems it's still the young people's time!" Mad Old Man murmured.
