Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Each of the three had their own thoughts, and they all flew upwards on their swords.

Strangely enough, the terrifying attraction that had been there before had completely disappeared, and they arrived at the mountaintop in no time.

At this moment, on the mountaintop platform, Lu Feishuang, Lu Mingyu, and Mo Fei lay on the ground, immersed in a dreamlike illusion.

Yu Luoning felt inexplicably at ease.

Before long, Lu Feishuang and the other two slowly woke up.

The three rubbed their heads, still looking confused. But when they saw Yu Luoning, Cui Xiu, and Shi Shangxu clearly, they gasped in shock.

Mo Fei was extremely perceptive, and his gaze swept over the three of them.

He sighed inwardly: "That brat is eating way too well!"

The reason is that Shi Shangxu, standing to the right of Yu Luoning, is as gentle and refined as jade, like a bright and clear moon hanging high in the sky.

Looking to the left, one sees an even more stunning beauty, with an unparalleled charm.

He stood there simply, tall and imposing, his purple robes billowing.

With a single glance from a pair of purple, glassy eyes, an invisible pressure made it hard for the group to breathe.

But these two exceptionally talented individuals both revolved around Yu Luoning.

Mo Fei looked at Shi Shangxu again and saw that his face was a little pale, but his expression was calm.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. He had thought that with Shi Daizi's pride, it would be difficult for him to accept the existence of another man.

But the current delicate balance is clearly something that Luo Ning has already managed to maintain.

As expected of my cousin, she's really got some skills.

Meanwhile, Yu Luoning seemed to sense the awkwardness in the air.

She coughed lightly and said to Mo Fei and the other two, "We've already obtained the Nine Nether Cauldron. Now let's go find the last of the Primordial Origin Qi."

"What?" The three of them were immediately surprised.

"How long have you been gone? How did you manage that?"

As soon as she asked that question, Lu Feishuang's gaze fell on Cui Xiu, and her expression immediately became clear.

This lord is a terrifying being who can shatter more than a dozen cultivators with a single slap. With him present, wouldn't obtaining the Nine Nether Cauldron be a piece of cake?

"How wonderful!" Lu Feishuang exclaimed inwardly, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at Luo Ning, thinking how easy it was to have connections in the court.

Yu Luoning felt a little embarrassed by their stares and took the opportunity to introduce themselves to each other.

Yu Luoning looked at Cui Xiu and said softly, "Cui Xiu, these are my friends who have been with me all this way. This is Mo Fei, Lu Feishuang, and Lu Mingyu. Recognize their faces so you don't kill the wrong person next time."

Mo Fei and the other two: "..."

Yu Luoning's shoulders trembled slightly as she laughed, "Just...just kidding. Cui Xiu isn't someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately; he's very friendly."

The three were trembling with fear, while Cui Xiu, on the other side, didn't even bother to glance at them.

As a powerful being with immense strength, to be honest, the three people in front of him were nothing more than mayflies that lived only a day and died at night, and they were not even worthy of seeing his true face.

But at this moment, because Yu Luoning took the initiative to introduce them, Cui Xiu actually nodded to the group in a rare gesture of respect.

He remained aloof and didn't say anything polite.

Even such a small gesture was enough to make the three people on the other side feel flattered.

Cui Xiu looked at the group, his purple eyes narrowed, and after a moment's thought, he spoke softly, "Cui Xiu, I have memorized your faces."

The three felt increasingly apprehensive and delighted. It was a rare honor to be seen in front of such an important person and to be remembered by him.

Murphy was a very perceptive and clever fellow; his eyes darted around.

"So it's Senior Cui? Hello, Senior Cui. I thought you had a dignified and imposing presence, but now that I look at you closely, you and Ningning are a match made in heaven. You're such a perfect couple."

This sudden defection made Shi Shangxu's gaze grow even more somber.

Mo Fei felt very guilty and sighed inwardly, "I'm sorry, Brother Shi."

His words unsurprisingly pleased Choi Soo, who smiled slightly after his previously tense expression.

She raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on the face of this guy whose lips seemed to be coated with honey.

When he noticed Murphy's face, he frowned again.

He has the looks of a pretty boy.

Cui Xiu suddenly clicked her tongue in annoyance, her voice low and deep, "Oh? Ningning?"

This question sent a shiver down Mo Fei's spine, and his survival instinct surged.

He chuckled dryly, "No, no, no, look how clumsy I am with words, it's Miss Luo Ning, Miss Luo Ning."

After saying that, in order to clear her name, Mo Fei gritted her teeth, grabbed Lu Mingyu's sleeve, and leaned on Lu Mingyu's shoulder in front of everyone, putting on a shy and demure look as if she were a little bird clinging to someone who was already taken.

Lu Mingyu felt a chill run down his spine, his whole body went numb, and he stared at him with wide eyes.

Mo Fei subtly nudged his elbow with his finger, signaling him to cooperate.

Lu Mingyu swallowed hard, immediately understanding, and forced a smile, "Please...please excuse my rudeness, senior."

Cui Xiu slightly furrowed her brows.

Upon seeing this, Yu Luoning was so happy that tears almost welled up in her eyes.

"Can't you tone down your aura? You're scaring my friends."

Cui Xiu responded with an "oh," and actually withdrew most of the oppressive aura emanating from his body.
