Saying this, Shangguan Ying'er couldn't help but laugh.
Ling Mo Xie then said seriously, "Alright, we are in Xi'an and are dealing with serious matters. Besides, even if Cang Qian has left, what about Ning Qi? If he leaves too, we wouldn't have to sneak around like thieves; we could just go check that basement directly."
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Shangguan Ying'er nodded and said discontentedly, "Ning Qi really has a thick skin. His master has already left, yet he still has the nerve to stay here. His master simply couldn't put up a bet; he lost the competition and thought he had won during the match. Does he not feel embarrassed for doing such things?"
"Well, Ning Qi is also at the Yuan Ying realm; we are not his match. We should think about how to sneak in first," Ling Mo Xie said with a smile in response to Shangguan Ying'er's complaints.
Shangguan Ying'er pouted defiantly, "If it weren't for... I wouldn't be afraid of him!"
"What do you mean by 'if it weren't for'?" Shangguan Ying'er's voice was too soft; even someone of Ling Mo Xie's cultivation couldn't hear clearly.
"Ah?" Shangguan Ying'er looked up at Ling Mo Xie and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing, nothing at all."
Seeing that Ling Mo Xie only responded with an "oh" and turned his attention to the tents of Ning Qi and Cang Qian, Shangguan Ying'er frowned and wrinkled her delicate little nose. She said to Ling Mo Xie, "Now that this matter is settled, I need to go back. My master is waiting for me!"
"Oh, got it," Ling Mo Xie replied calmly after glancing at Shangguan Ying'er.
Shangguan Ying'er felt a pang of disappointment: "Don't you have anything to say?"
Ling Mo Xie turned to look at Shangguan Ying'er intently for a while before saying, "What is there to say? We'll see each other again; it's not like we're parting for life and death."
Shangguan Ying'er was momentarily taken aback by Ling Mo Xie's response and then nodded gloomily, "Mm."
However, Ling Mo Xie suddenly smiled and patted Shangguan Ying'er's shoulder. "Your master is waiting for you? It must be something beneficial for your cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn't specifically wait for you to return."
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Shangguan Ying'er was still angry at Ling Mo Xie's indifferent attitude, even though she didn't know why she was upset or what there was to be upset about.
"Then let's have a competition and see who is better next time we meet! What do you think?" Ling Mo Xie said with a smile, placing a hand on Shangguan Ying'er’s shoulder, speaking earnestly.
Shangguan Ying'er raised her head, "Are you afraid of me? To be honest, my physique is special. Although my cultivation level isn't as high as Ning Qi's right now, that's not because my talent is inferior to his. When I go back this time, my master will solve this problem for me and I'll make great progress. Do you still want to compete with me?"
"Haha!" Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily, playfully pinching Shangguan Ying'er’s delicate nose and said, "Of course! It's settled then! Next time we meet, you must be better than me!"
After saying that, he changed the subject, "But for now, let's think about how we can get in."
Shangguan Ying'er remained silent for a moment, glancing at the two tents before looking back at the serious Ling Mo Xie.
Suddenly sighing, she said gloomily, "It's simple. We just need to disguise ourselves as disciples of the Azure Emperor under Ning Qi."
Ling Mo Xie looked at her in confusion upon hearing her words.
Shangguan Ying'er explained, "Ning Qi and Cang Qin need to use commoners for their experiments; they can't possibly do it themselves, right? Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't have the time. So there are still many disciples of the Azure Emperor helping them."
Upon hearing Shangguan Ying'er’s explanation, Ling Mo Xie nodded but soon a cold smile appeared on his face. "So that means..."
However, Shangguan Ying'er quickly interrupted him, "It's not what you think. The Azure Emperor is undoubtedly a major sect of the Righteous Path. But as you know, within any power, there can be different factions. Those disciples of the Azure Emperor are from the faction close to Cang Qin."
Ling Mo Xie nodded at Shangguan Ying'er’s hurried explanation. "It seems like there's darkness everywhere, right? And they represent the dark side of the Azure Emperor?"
Shangguan Ying'er paused for a moment at Ling Mo Xie's words before hesitantly nodding. "You could understand it that way; in any case, they do not represent the entire Azure Emperor."
Ling Mo Xie nodded but then asked, "Why didn't you mention we could enter this way earlier?"
Shangguan Ying'er lowered her head, feeling a bit shy and dissatisfied as she said, "Hmph! I just wanted to talk to you privately for a moment; did it have to be so urgent?"
Ling Mo Xie fell into a moment of speechless silence and said, "When is it not okay to speak?"
"But that guy, Sun Xiaoxiao, is right beside you!" Shangguan Ying'er interjected, her tone casual and natural.
Then she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "What did I just say? Let's hurry in and save the person! Here, this is the outfit for the disciples of the Azure Emperor Sect." Shangguan Ying'er took out a set of ordinary disciple clothing from her storage ring and handed it to Ling Mo Xie. She also took out a set for herself and walked toward her tent, saying, "Wait for me a moment!"
She hurriedly ran toward her tent.
"Hey?" Ling Mo Xie reached out, intending to call her back, but then he just shook his head with a helpless smile. Looking at the Azure Emperor Sect disciple clothing in his hands, he focused his thoughts, and soon his white robe transformed into the green and white attire of an Azure Emperor Sect disciple.
It wasn't long before Shangguan Ying'er emerged wearing the ordinary disciple clothing. The light green robe made her look vibrant and charming, quite different from her previous elegant and serene demeanor.
Noticing Ling Mo Xie's gaze on her, a hint of confusion flashed in Shangguan Ying'er's eyes as she touched her face. "What? Is there something on my face?"
"Haha!" Ling Mo Xie couldn't help but laugh at Shangguan Ying'er's adorable appearance. He replied, "No, nothing like that. But I didn't expect you to look so good in this ordinary disciple outfit. Truly, good-looking people can wear anything well; it’s useless for those who aren’t good-looking."
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's ambiguous compliment, a blush crept onto Shangguan Ying'er's face. A smile she couldn't hide appeared at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes curved like crescent moons as she looked up at Ling Mo Xie and said, "Alright, let's go in now. Just follow me and don’t speak."
As she spoke, she suddenly noticed the outfit she had just handed to Ling Mo Xie in his hands and frowned slightly. "Why didn’t you...?"
She intended to question Ling Mo Xie about why he hadn’t changed but then realized that what he was wearing wasn’t the Azure Emperor Sect disciple clothing at all.
