"No matter what, I won’t let Master leave!" Ling Ningzhi tightly hugged her arm and refused to let go.
Ji Hongxiu shot a glance at Chen Mo, who was trying hard not to laugh, and shook her head, saying, "I was just speaking casually. With this guy around, I can’t escape even if I wanted to, so where could I possibly hide?"
"Really?" Ling Ningzhi blinked her eyes, "Then swear, from now on, the three of us will share the same bed in life and the same grave in death, never parting."
Unable to resist any longer, Ji Hongxiu said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I swear, we will never part."
Only then did Ling Ningzhi let go, satisfied.
After the sudden commotion, Ji Hongxiu was a bit embarrassed and said, "Well, you go with Chen Mo to the Capital City first to check on Ling Yishan’s condition. I need to return to the Sect to get the pill recipe. This is no small matter and requires proper preparation."
"Okay." Ling Ningzhi nodded.
"Ahem." Chen Mo cleared his throat and asked, "So when do we start training?"
Ji Hongxiu’s face turned as red as fire, stammering, "We’ll talk about it... in a little while."
After saying that, she left without looking back, her figure disappearing like a bubble, not even taking Zhu Huai and the others with her.
After Daoist Venerable left, Ling Ningzhi crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her chin, and asked with a humph, "Lord, how did I do this time?"
"Perfectly." Chen Mo gave a thumbs up and praised, "Even the idea of a marriage alliance was something I hadn’t thought of, as expected of my good Zhi’er."
Ling Ningzhi smiled sweetly, "Master is really too shy, she clearly likes it very much in her heart, but just won’t admit it. If this continues, who knows how long the awkwardness will last, so we might as well make it clear..."
Daoist Venerable’s reaction today was completely as they expected.
Previously on Martial Saint Mountain, with the three of them spending day and night together, they probably didn’t think much about it.
But upon separation and calming down, the heart would definitely be tormented, unable to let go of feelings for Chen Mo on one hand and constrained by propriety on the other, naturally behaving awkwardly.
Therefore, Chen Mo and Ling Ningzhi had already discussed it in advance. Once such a situation occurred, they absolutely couldn’t give Daoist Venerable a chance to hesitate, her retreat must be completely blocked!
"But in the end, it’s you who’s wronged the most." Chen Mo reached out to pinch her cheek.
Originally, Ling Ningzhi was the one to be wronged, but instead, she had to help him "pursue" Daoist Venerable, it was truly a bit unfair to her...
"It’s nothing." Ling Ningzhi’s face was blushing as she leaned on his chest and said, "You and Master are the most important people to me, no matter what, I don’t want to be separated from you. Besides, if Zhixia can accept me, why can’t I accept Master?"
Chen Mo sighed silently.
The girls around him were all so understanding, it only made him seem more like a scoundrel...
...
...
In the next hour, people gradually flew out of the World Gate.
Thousands had initially entered the Secret Realm, yet only a few hundred managed to escape.
Most of them either got lost in the desolate mountains and rivers or were swallowed by the surging tide of corpses.
The survivors, each with a ghastly pale face and absent-minded, collapsed to the ground as soon as they got out, gasping for breath, unable to calm down for a long time.
They initially thought the opening of the Secret Realm was a golden opportunity, but ended up not retrieving any treasures, almost losing their lives. Just coming out alive was already a great fortune!
Whoosh—
Shi Wenzhong flashed out, with Qiao Tong and others following behind.
The Netherworld Sect had gathered before the great array was activated, and having a First Grade Grandmaster as their cover, they narrowly escaped disaster. But recalling those terrifying scenes, they all appeared to have lingering fear.
Qiao Tong searched through the crowd with her gaze, and upon seeing Yu Hongyin, her expression suddenly brightened, waving excitedly.
"Holy Daughter!"
Yu Hongyin breathed a sigh of relief seeing them out, hastening to greet them, "Master, Tong’er, I’m so glad you’re okay!"
Shi Wenzhong still felt a lingering fear, speaking deeply, "What’s with this Secret Realm? First, the Yin Yang Reversal, then chaotic magnetic fields, corpses repeatedly coming back to life, and finally even the sun and moon fell from the sky..."
Before entering, he had expected it to be dangerous inside, but this was just unreasonable!
It was simply a deadly trap, with no intention of letting them leave alive!
"Because this world itself is a gigantic array, its purpose being to refine all of us." Yu Hongyin shook her head and said, "If Mr. Chen hadn’t cracked the array at the last moment and found the World Gate, everyone would have perished inside."
"Array?"
Shi Wenzhong’s heart shuddered.
