I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

Because of Ye Qiao, Yueqing Sect suffered another beating. After assessing the strength of both sides, Song Hansheng formed a formation on the spot, blocking the pack of mad dogs outside.

"Hand over the crystal!" The rogue cultivator outside continued to shout, "Yun Que, if you're so capable, hand over the crystal! If you're so capable, open the barrier!"

"Make Yunque hand over the crystal!"

Song Hansheng's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he was about to curse inwardly: "What exactly did Yun Que take from them?"

Murder and looting are not uncommon in secret realms, and he approves of such behavior, but that doesn't mean Song Hansheng is willing to be ganged up on. Can't Yun Que be smart? Why does he have to make it known to everyone?

In the original novel, Song Hansheng harbored feelings of love for Yun Que. However, thanks to Ye Qiao's series of actions, his feelings were nipped in the bud before they could even sprout.

At this moment, Song Hansheng could no longer express his admiration; he wished he could drag Yun Que to have Dan Xiu examine her brain.

Meanwhile, Yun Que, who had been unjustly blamed, was heading to her destination with the disciples of the Wenjian Sect.

Yunque was walking along peacefully when she was unexpectedly entangled by a small beast as soon as she sat down.

With its yellow feathers, two ears, and upturned tail, it's exceptionally cute.

Yun Que was obsessed with appearances, and immediately disregarded Ye Qinghan's objections, signing a contract with the young beast.

Ye Qinghan was somewhat helpless. "Junior Sister Yun, if it's just an ordinary demon beast, then your contract is just like signing a cute mascot."

He liked this innocent and gentle girl very much, but sometimes her innocence could be a headache.

Yun Que said nonchalantly, "It's alright, senior brother. I signed a master-servant contract. If I'm no longer needed, I can just kill him."

These words made the little beast's eyes widen.

They seemed to have never expected that such vicious people existed in the world.

Ye Qinghan helplessly rubbed her head without saying anything.

The treasure-hunting beast immediately wilted.

It knew that there wasn't a single good person among humans.

Fearing that the human would mistake it for an ordinary monster and kill it, the treasure-hunting beast hurriedly bit Yun Que's clothes with its teeth, signaling the human to come with it, and barked twice to indicate that it was very useful.

Yun Que's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately followed.

Led by this little beast, they found many rare spiritual plants and fruits outside the secret realm. After signing the contract, the master and servant's consciousness were connected.

The treasure-hunting beast raised its head, indicating that it knew a place where fire-type ore was hidden.

Yun Que had obtained many good things thanks to this little beast. Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately told the Wenjian Sect members behind her the news.

Originally, the Sword Inquiry Sect had quite a few objections to their senior brother bringing such a burden along, but after Yun Que's spirit beast found many good things along the way, they gradually accepted it. When they heard about the fire-type crystal, everyone perked up.

"Then what are we waiting for? Junior Sister Yun, quickly have your spirit beast lead the way!"

In just a few hours, they went from ignoring her to calling her "Junior Sister Yun" repeatedly.

Yun Que's eyes crinkled, clearly enjoying the crowd's flattery. She nodded and said softly, "No problem."

The group hurried along and finally arrived at the destination led by the treasure-hunting beast.

However, they arrived too late; by the time they got there, there was nothing left.

"..."

A moment of silence fell. Yun Que looked at the empty space and remembered her earlier confident promise. Her face flushed with shame, and she unconsciously gripped the treasure-hunting beast in her hand. Too shocked to control her grip, she cried out, "Where's the gold mine?"

The girl's sharp nails dug into the small animal's flesh, causing it to scream. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, it opened its mouth, bit Yun Que's hand, and ran away.

In this situation, if Ye Qiao hadn't been absent, she probably would have sarcastically remarked, "Your treasure-hunting beast doesn't want you anymore?"
