Upon seeing the inner elixir of the Two-Headed Giant Serpent, the four siblings were immediately overjoyed. With this elixir, their father would be completely saved. However, when they thought about the many family members lost for this elixir, a sense of melancholy inevitably lingered in their hearts.
"Brother Ye, are you from the Northern Jin Dynasty?" To express their gratitude to Ye Feng and Ning Ruoxue, the four insisted on escorting Ye Feng out of the jungle. Ye Feng and Ning Ruoxue had no choice but to accept. At this moment, they were all tired from walking and decided to take a break. During this time, Zhao Linlin approached Ye Feng and asked.
Ye Feng looked at the little girl and nodded, smiling as he said, "Yes, we are from the Northern Jin Dynasty. Both of us are disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect. You should know that there is a Nine Sects Trial happening soon in the Qiu Yang Secret Realm. We came here specifically for that competition."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Linlin immediately continued his words, "It's similar to what my brother guessed. Your Northern Jin Dynasty is a great nation, much better than our Northern Frontier. Unlike us, who are in a remote area. I've heard that all disciples of your Dragon Tiger Sect are extremely powerful; is that true?"
Ning Ruoxue quite liked this playful girl and smiled as she replied, "Not everyone is powerful. If someone has good talent but doesn't work hard in cultivation, they won't be very strong. However, even those with poor talent can still quickly improve their cultivation with diligent practice. Brother Ye you mentioned is one such person; his talent is average, but look at him now—he's quite impressive!"
Ning Ruoxue's words made Ye Feng feel a bit embarrassed.
"Sister Ruoxue, are you Brother Ye's wife?" Zhao Linlin stared closely at Ning Ruoxue and suddenly blurted out.
Ye Feng broke into a cold sweat; this girl really dared to say anything—he had never thought of it that way.
Ning Ruoxue's face turned red as she shyly replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be his wife? I'm his senior sister; don't think too much!"
Ning Ruoxue's bashful demeanor left everyone stunned. The three brothers exchanged glances and found it hard to look away from her face. Ye Feng also stole a glance but maintained his composure better; after a brief look, he said, "Little girl, stop thinking wildly. By the way, how do you know this place so well? It seems like this path could lead us through the jungle faster?"
Zhao Qingcheng pointed to the road ahead and said, "We often walk this way because we live nearby, so we know this area very well. Taking this route means we won't encounter many beasts, and it's a shortcut. I estimate you will be able to exit the jungle by tomorrow morning and reach the Qiu Yang Secret Realm by evening without any problem."
Ye Feng nodded in understanding; indeed, they had grown up here and were naturally familiar with the environment.
"Alright, Brother Ye, we can only take you this far. We need to return to Zhao Family Village; we've been out all day and if we don't go back soon, our family will start to worry. By the way, after you participate in the competition, feel free to visit us at Zhao Family Village; my father will definitely host you well."
Zhao Linlin glanced at the sky and said somewhat helplessly.
Zhao Qingcheng also stood up, bowed to Ye Feng, and said solemnly, "Brother Ye, I really want to thank you. A great kindness is hard to express in words. After you finish, you must come to our Zhao Family Village. I will treat you well."
Ye Feng waved his hand and replied, "You are being too polite. It's better for you to head back early. I believe all four of you are eager to return. We appreciate you bringing us this far; we can manage from here on our own."
"Then take care, Brother Ye. Remember to come!" Zhao Linlin reminded as she and her three brothers turned to leave.
Ye Feng could tell that the three genuinely wanted to invite them to Zhao Family Village, so he nodded in acknowledgment.
However, whether they could go or not was uncertain. Although the Nine Sects Trial seemed relatively safe on the surface, everyone knew that it was just a change in approach; within the Silver Moon Secret Realm, a fierce battle was inevitable!
After bidding farewell to the four, the two continued onward.
"Ye Feng, are you really still the same Ye Feng? The one with poor talent and timid nature? I feel like you've changed a lot. To be honest, when I attacked that day, I could have killed you for sure, but your revival is quite puzzling," Ning Ruoxue said slowly as she walked behind Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was taken aback and hesitated before asking, "Why do you say that?"
Ning Ruoxue looked up at the starry sky as she walked and continued, "You see, my background is unclear to you. It's actually quite complicated. I've seen a lot of deceit and scheming since I was young. That's why I've always been very aloof. Right now, I can't quite explain it, but you give me a very strange feeling. Perhaps it's because of this new face of yours. However, even if you were to return to your old appearance, I would still feel that you are not Ye Feng."
Ye Feng didn't know how to respond; indeed, he was not Ye Feng anymore. However, it was strange that his family had not noticed this change while someone who had only interacted with him briefly like Ning Ruoxue could see through it. Had Ning Ruoxue truly experienced something unusual in her childhood?
Unknowingly, Ye Feng began to take an interest in Ning Ruoxue.
Similarly, at that moment, Ning Ruoxue also grew curious about Ye Feng.
Neither of them realized that curiosity often leads to mutual affection.
"I'll have the chance to tell you about my matters later, but just remember this: I mean you no harm. If you don't target me intentionally, I won't do anything to you either. However, I'm a bit worried that the Nine Sects Trial might really lead to casualties."
Ning Ruoxue lowered her head and said helplessly, "Isn't that a question with an obvious answer? Even during our Outer Sect Grand Competition, we almost had a disaster. Not to mention such a trial. Once we enter the secret realm, there will only be disciples from the nine sects, without the constraints of our elders. Everyone will want to achieve better results, so a bloody battle is inevitable. Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"
Ye Feng shook his head and replied, "I don't know; I just feel uneasy. After the trial ends, I still have to return to the White Tiger Hall. Honestly, I'm feeling a bit tired right now. I really hope the internal conflict within the Dragon Tiger Sect ends soon so that I can have a chance to go out and see the world."
"You want to go out? Where to?" Ning Ruoxue asked.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "I was just saying that; it's not that simple. I still have unresolved personal grievances with Prince Ning. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore; let's get going!"
Ye Feng and Ning Ruoxue were among the last to arrive. By the evening of the next day, they reached a city near the Qiu Yang Secret Realm. This city was called Haotian City. The city lord, Lei Haotian, was a cultivator from the Gangwu Realm. His influence was profound; even some experts from the Northern Jin Dynasty dared not cause trouble in Haotian City because of him.
However, Lei Haotian was merely the head of one family and the lord of this city; his Lei Family did not send any disciples to participate in the trial. Nevertheless, they warmly welcomed all disciples from the Nine Sects.
Many disciples from the Lei Family were dispatched as hosts and guides, continuously receiving disciples from various sects, making Haotian City bustling with activity!
When Ye Feng and Ning Ruoxue arrived, most people had already gathered, and the disciples of the Nine Sects had been arranged to rest.
Some Lei Family disciples thought that since it was so late and most people had arrived, they didn't expect two more individuals to show up at the last moment. Especially when Ning Ruoxue appeared in her white attire with long hair cascading down her waist, she looked like a fairy.
Many Lei Family disciples rushed forward to offer their assistance in guiding her, leaving Ye Feng—who looked rather ordinary—standing aside, which made him feel somewhat amused!
Are these people infatuated? Is there no other woman in Haotian City?
Ning Ruoxue was quite annoyed by their behavior and impatiently said, "You all step aside! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that most of the disciples participating in this trial were powerful cultivators. Especially this woman exuded an icy aura that made them shiver after seeing her for too long. Many disciples froze in place and lost their earlier enthusiasm.
The woman who had been standing at the back smiled and said, "People from the Lei Family tend to be a bit rough, so don't take it to heart. How about this, I'll take you both to a place to rest."
After saying that, she turned around and glared fiercely at the group, loudly reprimanding them, "The city lord has instructed us to treat guests with courtesy. Is this how you treat our guests? You're truly embarrassing us from the Lei Family. Each of you will return and face your punishment."
The group exchanged glances, appearing somewhat helpless.
Ye Feng noticed that this woman was dressed in a red outer garment, her face free of makeup, with a standard oval face that was quite delicate. If Ning Ruoxue hadn't been standing next to her, she would have been considered an absolute beauty. However, with Ning Ruoxue present, she appeared somewhat less striking.
"Please follow me. You should be disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect, right? It seems that only the people from the Dragon Tiger Sect and Flowing Cloud Villa have yet to arrive," the woman said as she walked.
"Oh?" Ye Feng curiously glanced at her and then asked, "Since there are still disciples from Flowing Cloud Villa who haven't arrived, why do you assume we are from the Dragon Tiger Sect?"
The woman turned back, smiling charmingly as she replied, "Flowing Cloud Villa doesn't have beauties like this. If I'm not mistaken, this stunning beauty should be Ning Ruoxue from the Dragon Tiger Sect."
Ning Ruoxue frowned slightly, seemingly unhappy.
In fact, she felt uncomfortable, sensing that this woman seemed to have investigated her beforehand.
