Secret Realm Gate opens, the space turbulence comes fiercely, the three of them are close together, Ouyang Zixin knows that his cultivation level is low. If he were not protected by Yun Tianmo, he would probably be in bad luck. Although Ning Zhiyuan's cultivation is not as good as Yun Tianmo, it is enough to protect himself. Yun Tianmo's move of protecting Ouyang Zixin in his arms naturally did not escape his eyes. "Does this Girl have some attractive magic power?" Ning Zhiyuan thought to himself, even though he had only met her once, he felt like he wanted to get close to her. The three people with their own thoughts shuttled through the turbulent flow for a while, and finally felt that the atmosphere around them gradually calmed down, and their tense nerves couldn't help but relax. As long as you enter the secret realm, you will be safe for the time being. —————————————————————————————— “The secret realm is opened.” Nan Gong Yao is sitting on the throne, the empty Main In Hall, only Li Feng is by my side. "Sovereign Are you worried that the princes will not be able to choose the secret realm?" Li Feng hunched over, I am afraid that Sovereign will not be able to sleep tonight. Although several princes have good talents, the selection of secret realms has its own rules that no one can control. "What's the use of worrying about me." Nan Gong Yao sighed. After so many years, no one can figure out how this Fortune's Secret Realm is selected. Unless selected, no one can Forced entry. ———————————————————————————
"You say that no one from Dream Nation has been selected?" A deep, hoarse male voice echoed within the Dream Kingdom Palace.
"Not necessarily. Although the time for this secret realm to open is short, it won't be so quick to determine whether anyone from Dream Nation has been chosen." Compared to the hoarse voice, this other man spoke with a much more pleasant tone.
"The National Master is indeed a person of great talent, yet he was not selected back in the day."
The man chuckled lightly and replied calmly, "Sovereign, you flatter me. I am someone without desires or demands; whether I enter the secret realm is not important."
"It’s late. Sovereign should rest early. We will know by tomorrow whether anyone from Dream Nation has been selected." The man, referred to as the National Master, clearly did not wish to continue discussing the secret realm. After saying this, he stood up to take his leave.
Once outside the palace, he looked back with his hands clasped behind him. The position of National Master was not what he desired; if it weren't for his clan, he wouldn't have bothered with the palace's invitation. Now that the secret realm had opened, it seemed that trouble would arise again for his clan...

"Ninth Brother, I suppose you have already entered the secret realm by now. Cough cough..."
Unlike the concerns of the other two nations' Sovereigns, the Seventh Prince of Cloud Nation had long known that his younger brother would enter Fortune's Secret Realm. If it weren't for his frail body, he would have fought for a chance himself.
Yun Tianying was not inherently weak; all his ailments were caused by others. He had thought that with his father's favor, he would be safe, but unexpectedly fell into someone else's trap. If it weren't for Yun Tianmo's insistence on seeking medical help, he might have already perished.
"Seventh Prince, you should take your medicine and rest. It's already quite late; your body can't handle much more," said a maidservant who attended to Yun Tianying as she helped him up gently.
"Mm, understood."
—————————————————————————————
The opening of Fortune's Secret Realm was known to those of some standing, but that was all they could do—merely acknowledge it. Besides worrying about whether any of their own had suddenly disappeared, there was nothing else they could manage.
On the following day, rumors spread across Yuhai Continent that a certain young master had gone missing and that a certain young lady had also vanished. Some families even reported multiple members missing, and these individuals were likely to have entered Fortune's Secret Realm.
However, how credible these messages are remains unknown. In previous years, there have been instances of false reports about individuals entering the secret realm, all to bring glory to their families. Such occurrences are numerous, yet no one truly cares.
As for the three who entered the secret realm, Yun Tianmo and the others had just fallen into it. After a moment of dizziness, they finally confirmed their safe arrival.
"Um, thank you," Ouyang Zixin said cautiously after they had exited the spatial turbulence.
Hearing her voice, which sounded like a mosquito buzzing, Yun Tianmo was even more certain of his guess. If she weren't injured, Ouyang Zixin usually spoke much louder than this.
Releasing his grip on Ouyang Zixin, he examined her closely and noticed that the redness in her ears had disappeared. Wasn't she injured there?
"Where are you hurt?" It was truly worrisome; if she hadn't been moving around in the turbulence while he was protecting her, how could she have gotten injured?
"Ah?" Ouyang Zixin randomly felt around her body with her hands. Hurt? No, there was no pain anywhere.
Shaking her head at Yun Tianmo, Ouyang Zixin indicated that she didn't understand why he thought she was injured.
"…"
"Miss Ouyang is injured?" Ning Zhiyuan seemed to have guessed what misunderstanding Yun Tianmo had but wouldn't tell him. Instead, he exaggeratedly exclaimed.
"No, no, I'm not injured…"
"Alright, let's take a look around." Realizing he had misunderstood, Yun Tianmo interrupted their conversation and walked toward a direction where he heard the sound of flowing water.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zixin hurriedly followed. Although this place was called Fortune's Secret Realm, there were rumors of dangers that could lead to death. For the sake of her own life, following the ice-cold figure was definitely a wise choice; catching a cold was better than losing her life.
"You two are walking so fast; wait for me…" Ning Zhiyuan called out for Yun Tianmo and Ouyang Zixin to wait for him, but his pace did not quicken at all as he leisurely lagged behind.
"Miss Ouyang, you haven't asked me my name yet…"
"Isn't the Third Prince called Nangong Tuo?"
"Miss Ouyang, in this secret realm, I won't be acting as a prince anymore, so please don't call me Nangong Tuo. It feels distant. From now on, let's spend our days together in this secret realm. Just call me Brother Yuan, how about that?" Ning Zhiyuan thought that while he couldn't reveal his identity, he could still find ways to make Ouyang Zixin stop calling him Nangong Tuo.
"Why Brother Yuan?"
"My courtesy name has 'Yuan' in it."
"I won't call you that." A teenager wanting her to call him brother was simply a dream.
"Why not? I'm a few years older than you. It's not like calling me brother would cost you anything."
"Weren't you just saying you wouldn't act like a prince?" Ouyang Zixin wasn't going to easily call him brother; calling Rong Yi 'Uncle' was just to annoy him, although it didn't have much effect in the end.
"…"
Ning Zhiyuan found himself at a loss for words due to Ouyang Zixin's response. Even though she refused to call him brother, he continued to smile lightly. After all, they had plenty of time ahead.
Yun Tianmo led the way, Ouyang Zixin walked in the middle, and Ning Zhiyuan brought up the rear. The three of them walked slowly, with Yun Tianmo remaining silent while the other two exchanged casual banter behind him, creating quite a lively atmosphere.
"We're here."
