When Jian Xunxue heard the question, he quickly stepped aside. At the entrance of the tree hole behind him, there was a figure lying on the ground, with a dagger plunged into his chest.

The figure’s chest rose and fell slightly, looking weak and feeble.

“This lad is from the Qi Family of Lingqi Mountain. He was acting furtively and I caught him. Worrying that our whereabouts would be revealed, I seriously injured him. I originally intended to kill him, but then I thought it would be better to bring him back and ask for information.”

The five of them had been hiding for the past few days and didn’t know much about the situation on Qi Wentian’s side.

Jian Xunxue went out to check this time. After discovering this person, he brought him back, hoping to ask about the situation.

Su Jinyue furrowed her brows and said at this moment, “Since you’ve captured him, we have to change our hiding place!”

The Qi Family would surely understand what was going on once they found a spy missing.

Li Wenbo also nodded.

Although Su Jinyue didn’t particularly like Jian Xunxue, this time, what Su Jinyue said was right.

Mu Qiqi beside them also said, “Don’t be so reckless next time.”

Previously, within the Juzong Sword Sect.

Mu Qiqi’s status was inferior to that of Jian Xunxue.

Although Mu Qiqi’s father was Mu Junli, one of the top ten guardians of the Juzong Sword Sect.

Jian Xunxue was the son of the Sect Master, Jian Lingtian, and he was also the number one genius within the Juzong Sword Sect, comparable to people like Dan Yongye, Sheng Feizhan, and Li Bufan.

However, at present.

In the five-person team, Qing Shiyu was the leader. Mu Qiqi had a better relationship with Qing Shiyu. Su Jinyue and Li Wenbo also came from Lingjian Mountain, and Jian Xunxue seemed to be more distant.

Jian Xunxue said helplessly, “I didn’t mean to capture him originally. I accidentally bumped into a spirit beast, which alerted him…”

Qing Shiyu looked at the person lying on the ground, waved her hand, and said, “Since he’s already been captured, let’s ask about the situation.”

“I’ve recovered from my injuries now and should be fine. If I encounter Qi Wentian again, I won’t be afraid. However…”

Halfway through her words, Qing Shiyu didn’t continue.

However, the Qi Family didn’t have only Qi Wentian. The other geniuses were also very powerful.

Moreover, Mu Qiqi, Li Wenbo, and the others were only at the Wanfa Realm. If there was a real fight, she wouldn’t have the time to take care of them.

Seeing that Qing Shiyu didn’t mind, Mu Qiqi let out a sigh of relief.

In just the past year or two.

Mu Qiqi clearly felt the changes in Qing Shiyu.

Previously, Qing Shiyu was a follower of Qing Shihua and a carefree little princess of the Qingyun Empire.

But during this period of time.

Even she had an illusion.

Qing Shiyu… faintly had the air of a big sister.

Of course, Mu Qiqi also understood that the main reason was that Qing Shiyu was currently the strongest in terms of strength.

But from when did Qing Shiyu start to change?

It seemed…

It was since that time when Qing Shiyu went out for training and met Ye Wushuang…

Within these short two years, Qing Shiyu got to know Ye Wushuang, and their relationship was special. Then Qing Shihua died, there was the battle in the Qingyun Empire, and now this trip to the Forbidden Realm. The cruel reality.

During the four months in this Forbidden Realm.

For Mu Qiqi, the trials at Qingyun Academy, the tempering in the Juzong Sword Sect, and the Hundred Kingdoms Martial Assembly she participated in before were all child’s play.

Those geniuses and monsters from the Central Land were truly powerful and ruthless!

Mu Qiqi once witnessed that several female disciples from the Taiqing Palace in Qingzhou were targeted by several young men from the Central Land just because they were somewhat good-looking.

They didn’t do anything wrong.

But those young men wouldn’t let them go.

Those young men took turns to violate those female disciples and humiliate them in every way.

In the end, those female disciples were tortured to death. Their intestines and stomachs were even pierced, and they were hung on a tree by those young men before they left swaggeringly…

She was hiding not far away and didn’t dare to make the slightest sound!

She wanted to help others, but she knew that if she went out, she would end up just like those female disciples.

That was the first time she felt fear in her heart.

It had to be said that compared to Qing Shiyu, her mentality had also changed a lot.

However, when it came to talent…

Qing Shiyu was far ahead of her.

Moreover…

During this period of time, Qing Shiyu seemed to have a clear goal in her heart and had been making efforts towards it.

Was it because of Ye Wushuang?

Did she want to always be by that shining young man’s side?

But…

It wasn’t that simple.

Mu Qiqi deeply understood how powerful Ye Wushuang was.

In just one year, because of that young man, bringing four women, children, and the elderly of the Ye Family into the imperial capital, the pattern of the entire Qingyun Empire had undergone earth-shaking changes.

If Qing Shiyu wanted to always stand by Ye Wushuang’s side, it would definitely be a path full of ups and downs and thorns.

Mu Qiqi was once fascinated by that figure in white.

But later, Mu Qiqi understood that she couldn’t keep up with his footsteps.

Just this one point, Mu Qiqi knew that she was not as good as Qing Shiyu.

Qing Shiyu then said, “Since the person has been captured, let’s ask. We really don’t know much information!”

“Alright.”

Jian Xunxue dragged the figure into the tree hole.

He turned the dagger, and the man let out a muffled groan. He furrowed his brows, opened his eyes, and looked at the five of them with a pale face and frightened eyes.

“It’s you!”

The young man was just about to shout.

Jian Xunxue directly said, “If you dare to make a sound, I’ll kill you.”

The young man immediately shut up.

Qing Shiyu asked, “Was it Qi Wentian who sent you to search for the whereabouts of the five of us?”

When the young man heard Qing Shiyu’s question, big beads of sweat rolled down his face, but he remained silent and just looked at Qing Shiyu in fear.

“I’m asking you a question!”

Jian Xunxue kicked the young man in the buttocks.

“Ouch.” With a cry of pain, the young man said aggrievedly, “You told me not to make a sound!”

The others looked speechless upon hearing this.
