Chen Xi smiled and said, "With my abilities, although I can't beat Yan Hua and the others, it's still easy to pull out the other soul from Jing Xiu. Tell me, without my help, what were you planning to do? Where were you going? You two sneaking around, going out in the middle of the night, must be going somewhere fun."
Qi Yu hesitated.
Chen Xi beckoned her over, "How about this, you tell me, and then take me with you. We can take this opportunity to go out and have some fun. After we come back, I'll pull out that soul. Isn't that settled? I won't tell anyone else your other identities."
Chen Xi's many years of existence were not lived in vain.
Seeing Qi Yu's shy demeanor, she knew this little girl definitely had some identity she was hiding, and wanted to drag her younger brother out to play alone.
Qi Yu fiddled with her fingers.
Si Qing covered his face.
After much deliberation, the siblings finally confessed everything.
Chen Xi's interest was instantly piqued upon hearing the words "assassination camp," and she repeatedly urged them to take her along.
Qi Yu and Si Qing couldn't refuse.
Thus, the three of them secretly set off for the mortal realm.
Initially, Qi Yu worried about potential trouble if she went with Chen Xi. However, after leaving the demon realm and sitting on Chen Xi's true form's back with Si Qing, Qi Yu realized how wonderful it was.
With Chen Xi accompanying them, they didn't have to worry about being disciplined and even had a powerful backer. Most importantly, Chen Xi also loved to have fun. When they arrived in the mortal realm at dawn, Chen Xi was even more captivated by the mortal world's delicacies than they were.
Before going to find Chi Shangming and Wang Lanqing, the three of them first had a blast in the bustling market, buying a bunch of snacks and walking towards the sect of Chi Shangming and Wang Lanqing while eating.
The sect where Chi Shangming and Wang Lanqing resided was the foremost immortal cultivation sect in the mortal realm, the Kongshan Sect.
The Kongshan Sect had excellent feng shui, and there were many outstanding cultivators within the sect. In the past, many disciples had successfully ascended.
Therefore, when Qi Yu, Si Qing, and Chen Xi arrived, Chi Shangming and Wang Lanqing had already successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage.
This achievement truly shocked Qi Yu.
Looking at Wang Lanqing and Chi Shangming, who already exuded an immortal aura, Qi Yu couldn't help but nod in praise, "You two are truly remarkable. I originally thought you might have just passed the Golden Core stage. I never expected your cultivation to have advanced so much."
Chi Shangming smiled at Qi Yu, "It's mainly because the spiritual energy here at the Kongshan Sect is indeed very abundant. Although it might not compare to places like the Southern Sea, regardless, cultivation progresses at an astonishing pace."
"Why did you suddenly come here? We were planning to find you when we reached the Soul Transformation stage," Wang Lanqing said.
"Just came to visit and see you, and also to handle some matters at my other businesses here," Qi Yu replied, then asked them, "You're already at the Nascent Soul stage. Do you plan to stay in the sect, or return to the Southern Sea with me? Think carefully. If you're worried about letting down the Kongshan Sect, I can leave behind many treasures to compensate for the sect's years of cultivation. Besides, you're only going to the Southern Sea to handle matters for me and cultivate diligently. It's not considered leaving the sect. If the Kongshan Sect faces trouble in the future, or if you have free time, you can still return."
"Chi Shangming and I need to think about this," Wang Lanqing said, shaking a scroll in her hand. "Chi Shangming and I still have a mission."
"What mission?" Qi Yu asked curiously.
"To find a very mysterious dark pavilion," Wang Lanqing frowned. "It's said to be a killer organization in the mortal realm, and there seem to be many vengeful souls there. We've been ordered by the sect leader to subdue the vengeful souls and report to the authorities to eradicate this nest of killers!"
Qi Yu narrowed her eyes.
Oh, ho.
These two little rascals were here to raid her base.
