"Where did you get your clothes?" Shangguan Ying'er looked at Ling Mo Xie in confusion, glancing at the ordinary disciple robe of the Azure Emperor Sect he was wearing, then at the set of robes he was holding. She had only given him one set; what was going on now?
Ling Mo Xie chuckled and said, "You don't understand my greatness! Lead the way!" With that, he put his hands behind his back and tilted his head, signaling Shangguan Ying'er to go ahead.
Shangguan Ying'er snapped out of her surprise and confusion, shot Ling Mo Xie a fierce glare, rolled her eyes, and then walked toward Ning Qi's tent, with Ling Mo Xie following behind.
Ling Mo Xie grinned and swaggered after Shangguan Ying'er toward Ning Qi's tent.
Just before reaching the tent, Shangguan Ying'er adjusted her robe and checked if there was anything off about Ling Mo Xie's appearance. Then she whispered to him, "Do whatever I do, and whatever you do, don’t say anything out of line!"
Seeing Ling Mo Xie nod in agreement, she cleared her throat and called out to the inside of the tent, "Senior Brother Ning, I'm here to clean your room. May I come in?"
"Haha! Is that you, Xiaoyun? Come in!"
Hearing Ning Qi's voice, Shangguan Ying'er smiled helplessly and replied, "No, Xiaoyun got injured yesterday. I'm here in her place."
"Oh, then come in!" Ning Qi's tone became much colder as he calmly responded.
As direct disciples of elders, they naturally didn’t have to do such trivial tasks themselves; it was usually left to lower-ranked disciples. Xiaoyun had some charm and was specifically chosen by him. Over time, their interactions naturally...
Shangguan Ying'er acknowledged him with a "yes," lowered her head to lift the curtain and stepped inside, with Ling Mo Xie following suit.
The tent was quite spacious but divided into several separate rooms. In front of Shangguan Ying'er and Ling Mo Xie was a large hall-like space.
Ning Qi walked out from one of the partitions and looked curiously at the two who were keeping their heads down. Ling Mo Xie's heart raced; he hoped Ning Qi wouldn't recognize him.
However, Ning Qi simply said, "Hmm, go ahead!" After that, he walked over to a chair and sat down. Was he planning to watch him clean up?
Shangguan Ying'er’s eyes darted around as she said, "Senior Brother Ning, on the way here I ran into Ling Mo Xie. He’s been spreading rumors about you... your shameless reputation!"
Hearing Shangguan Ying'er's words, Ning Qi immediately dropped his raised leg and said angrily, "What did you say? That brat actually dared? When have I ever lost my face? It's just a rumor! Damn it! Where is he? I'm going to find him right now!"
Although Ning Qi usually had a bit of sense, he was still bothered by his defeat to Ling Mo Xie. He felt utterly humiliated, and upon hearing that Ling Mo Xie was spreading rumors about him, he naturally became furious. In an instant, he was like a lion whose fur had been ruffled, completely losing his composure and not considering the truth of the matter at all!
Ling Mo Xie, who had been keeping his head down, couldn't help but curl his lips at Ning Qi's reaction. Was this kind of person still worth being seen as a rival?
Shangguan Ying'er casually made up a story about a distant location, and Ning Qi rushed out in a flurry.
After waiting for a while, Shangguan Ying'er finally raised her head, smiled at Ling Mo Xie, made a victory gesture, and said, "Quick! Let's find the Entrance to the basement!"
Ling Mo Xie shook his head with a smile. "You! I never expected you to have such a mischievous side! You always seem so dignified and graceful!"
Shangguan Ying'er stuck out her tongue. "That's just because you don't know me well enough!"
As she spoke, she began rummaging through the tent.
Ling Mo Xie quickly joined in the search.
Although this tent was large, there weren't many items inside. Ling Mo Xie and Shangguan Ying'er soon searched the entire Hall, but found nothing. They both turned their gazes toward the partition where Ning Qi resided.
Exchanging glances without saying a word, they walked into that partition.
The partition wasn't very big; it was surrounded by special fabric used for tents and was only the size of an ordinary bedroom. The furnishings were simple, with a large bed standing out in the center.
Ling Mo Xie frowned at the large bed, feeling that something was off about it, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
In such situations, it was time to use the Detection Skill!
Ling Mo Xie cast a Detection Skill on the large bed and gathered some information.
Sealed Grand Bed: This grand bed is made from high-quality Sleepwood, intricately carved and luxurious. However, for some reason, it is covered with a formation on top. Curious individuals, let us explore!
Ling Mo Xie felt somewhat speechless. Investigating such a low-level inanimate object could yield a lot of detailed information, but most of it would likely be nonsense, making it difficult to find any useful news among the trivialities.
"Ying'er, there is a formation set up on this bed. Do you know anything about it?" Ling Mo Xie had no knowledge of formations at all, so he could only helplessly seek assistance from Shangguan Ying'er.
Shangguan Ying'er was originally searching in the corner for any hidden passages when she heard Ling Mo Xie's words. She turned her head, furrowing her brows as she looked at the grand bed in the center.
She had never doubted this bed; after all, it was too obvious.
However, upon closer inspection, she indeed noticed the formation on top. It was a not-so-complex composite formation, combining a teleportation array and an illusion array.
Moreover, it was a formation from the Azure Emperor Sect.
Shangguan Ying'er set down what she was searching through and walked over to Ling Mo Xie, nodding as she said, "Yes! This is our Azure Emperor Sect's formation. I didn't expect they would use something from the Azure Emperor Sect to do bad things! But... hum! Although my cultivation is not as strong as theirs now, I am superior in other aspects. This kind of formation is just child's play for me!"
Pouting as she spoke, Shangguan Ying'er circulated her spiritual power. Ling Mo Xie watched as her hands moved in a series of gestures, and suddenly the seemingly ordinary grand bed surged like waves. With a crisp sound of shattering, where the bed once was appeared a teleportation array radiating white light.
"Does this girl like to sleep while teleporting? She's even drawn the teleportation array on the bed," Ling Mo Xie muttered with a face full of black lines as he stepped onto the teleportation array.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Shangguan Ying'er covered her mouth and chuckled lightly before stepping onto the array herself to activate it.
