“Where did A Three go?” Ouyang Zixin rubbed his sleepy eyes, his soft voice sounding particularly lazy.
Raising an arm, Yun Tianmo pointed towards the hazy space at the edge of the black earth. The closer they got, the thicker the dangerous aura became.
Since Ning Zhiyuan left last night, he had not returned until now.
“Is it dangerous?” Why did A Three suddenly go alone? This A Three was either bold due to skill or just liked to show off personal bravery.
Ouyang Zixin's question was casual, but in Yun Tianmo's ears, it sounded like concern.
“You care about him.” Yun Tianmo slowly turned around and looked down at Ouyang Zixin. Backlit, his expression was unclear, but his tone was very certain.
“What do you mean?” Ouyang Zixin didn’t expect his casual question to receive a response. He turned to look at Yun Tianmo in surprise.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Yun Tianmo scoffed.
Ouyang Zixin fell silent for a moment before suddenly laughing. The drowsiness from just waking up had completely vanished, replaced by a look of disdain. “So what if I do? And so what if I don’t?”
At this moment, Yun Tianmo felt regret for his impulsiveness. Ouyang Zixin's concern for someone else had nothing to do with him. Why did he even ask?
“Mo King, although I’m young, I’m not a fool. Isn’t your question a bit excessive? Is there something wrong with caring about a teammate?” Yun Tianmo’s concern seemed too inexplicable to Ouyang Zixin, who couldn’t help but mock him. “The nature of a teenager is indeed prone to impulsiveness; I can understand that, but…”
With a shift in tone, Ouyang Zixin’s aura turned cold and sharp, directly aimed at Yun Tianmo. “Please don’t project your own temperament onto me. Being six years old doesn’t mean I’m ignorant of the world.”
With a sneer, Ouyang Zixin’s proud expression reflected in Yun Tianmo’s eyes.
Disdain. Yun Tianmo saw disdain in Ouyang Zixin’s gaze.
“Mo King, let me tell you a principle; whether you understand it or not is not my concern. That is—‘In a group of three, there must be a teacher among us.’ We entered the secret realm together to trust and help each other, not for baseless suspicion and doubt. Not to mention your ridiculous and absurd thoughts; don’t be so quick to interrupt me.”
Seeing that Yun Tianmo wanted to speak, Ouyang Zixin ruthlessly interrupted him and continued, “Why did we enter the secret realm? You should know better than I do. We travel as a trio; if we can’t stick together, how can we talk about breaking through the secret realm? As for your absurd and nonsensical ideas, please put them away as soon as possible.”
After saying this, Ouyang Zixin ignored Yun Tianmo and tidied up his clothes before sitting quietly in place, waiting for Ning Zhiyuan’s return.
“In a group of three, there must be a teacher among us…” Yun Tianmo pondered over Ouyang Zixin’s words. It seemed he grasped something but also felt like he hadn’t grasped anything at all.
Rarely, Yun Tianmo looked blankly at Ouyang Zixin. Sitting with her knees hugged, she seemed like a little fairy who had accidentally wandered into the human world under the morning light.
Just as Yun Tianmo was pondering the profound meaning behind Ouyang Zixin's words, Ning Zhiyuan returned.
"Hey, Ouyang Zixin, you woke up really early today." From a distance, he saw one person sitting with her knees hugged and the other standing, and the atmosphere seemed somewhat tense. Ning Zhiyuan felt puzzled; he had clearly taken a step back last night, so it didn't make sense for them to be in this state.
"Brother Three, you're back." Ouyang Zixin looked up and smiled, her radiant smile blooming on her face.
Ning Zhiyuan was taken aback. What did she just call him?
"What did you call me?"
"Brother Three." Ouyang Zixin answered readily.
"Ah, good, good. Ouyang Zixin finally calls me brother; it's worth staying up all night for..." At that moment, Ning Zhiyuan felt as if he had been struck by happiness, grinning foolishly.
Ouyang Zixin brushed off the dust from her clothes, stood up, and sincerely said, "It's good to be back safely."
Yun Tianmo's earlier words reminded Ouyang Zixin. Although she appeared to be six years old now, her heart had long been that of an adult. She thought Ning Zhiyuan's previous deliberate closeness was merely a friendly gesture. After all, she was still just a little girl.
However, after hearing Yun Tianmo's words, Ouyang Zixin understood Yun Tianmo's concerns. In Yuhai Continent, young boys and girls who turned fourteen were already of legal marriage age; moreover, these two were well past that age.
Some noble families or royal relatives often arranged marriages for their children from a young age. If Ning Zhiyuan really started to think along those lines, it would be urgent to dissuade him from such thoughts as soon as possible.
Not only was Ning Zhiyuan delighted by the term "Brother Three," but Yun Tianmo also looked at Ouyang Zixin in surprise.
"Safe and sound... safe and sound..." Ning Zhiyuan replied with a silly grin.
Ouyang Zixin gave Yun Tianmo a meaningful glance before turning her gaze away from him.
But that one glance made Yun Tianmo understand what it meant to be "profoundly unfathomable."
Since that day, the tacit understanding among the three had deepened even more. Even Yun Tianmo no longer felt gloomy about the interactions between Ouyang Zixin and Ning Zhiyuan.
However, this good situation did not last long. Just as they began to reach a consensus on teaming up for a mission in the secret realm, chaos re-emerged as they entered the area of black soil...
Just as the three stepped out of the black soil's range, a turbulent force surged from all directions and violently scattered them apart.
"Damn it." Yun Tianmo reached out to pull Ouyang Zixin, but he was ultimately too slow. Looking at the piece of fabric he had torn off, which had long lost its original color, he cursed under his breath.
How could this happen?
After a moment of dizziness, Ning Zhiyuan steadied himself and looked around, not seeing the other two. When he had come to investigate alone, he hadn't encountered any turbulence. He never expected that as soon as the three of them entered this realm, they would be separated.
"Ouyang Zixin..."
If anyone had the lowest cultivation level, it was Ouyang Zixin. When the turbulence struck, she hadn't had time to react before feeling a tremendous pulling force dragging her in an unknown direction.
By the time she regained her senses, Yun Tianmo and Ning Zhiyuan were nowhere to be seen.
Suppressing her unease, Ouyang Zixin took several deep breaths until she gradually calmed down.
That's right; this secret realm is meant for training, isn't it? With Brother Three and Yun Tianmo's protection before, Ouyang Zixin had never truly faced any dangers.
"Ouyang Zixin, from now on, it's up to you!"
After encouraging herself, Ouyang Zixin began to sense her surroundings. She was no longer reckless; the traits of her Bad Luck Physique allowed for no carelessness.
To be honest, this secret realm seemed tailor-made for her, amplifying all the challenges as if it were designed for her rapid growth.
