The stench emanating from the giant rat continued to grow, becoming increasingly unbearable over time.

Shi Yinghan glanced at Qi Xucheng's departing figure, her eyes deep and unreadable.

He glanced back at his junior brothers and sisters who were still standing there.

"Qi Xucheng has already left, let's leave here too."

Once we left this area, the air became fresher, and the thick fog that had been covering us dissipated somewhat.

Ning Yue exhaled, feeling as if her lungs were completely clean.

"Should we continue looting?" Yang Fei asked. "There are so many spiritual treasures in the Azure Valley Secret Realm, wouldn't it be a waste not to take some?"

Shi Yinghan shook his head: "You decide. Tell me what spiritual treasures you're looking for, and I'll help you find them."

Ning Yue sighed.

What a great senior!

But they all shook their heads in unison, as if on the same wavelength.

Song Yishi glanced around casually: "There's nothing I want anymore. I can go back to the sect now."

Yu Xiao shook his head: "I'm here to procure Xuan Iron for the sect."

Duan Huailin and Jiang Yishen are even simpler.

One of them was picking things up the whole way, while the other was busy looking at his junior sister.

Yang Fei was shocked: "Really? They're leaving already? I don't really want anything, but it's a rare opportunity to come all this way, are you sure you don't want to stay a little longer?"

Purple Fox tugged at Yang Fei's collar and crawled out, nuzzling his chin affectionately.

Yang Fei chuckled twice, a little dazed: "...If Junior Sister is willing to help me catch another purple fox, I'm not unwilling..."

Ning Yue coldly refused: "Junior Sister is unwilling."

Shi Yinghan looked at Ning Yue: "Junior Sister, is there anything else you want?"

Ning Yue shook her head: "...No."

"Alright," Shi Yinghan said immediately, "Let's go back to the sect now. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to get there tonight."

The flying artifact was deployed once again, and a magnificent ship appeared in mid-air.

Those who knew how to fly on swords carried several others who didn't, and they quickly boarded the ship.

Ning Yue remained curious about Chu Zhi and Qi Xucheng's strange behavior.

She took out the jade pendant and looked it over, then took out the ringing pendant and traced it with her finger.

A drop of blood fell. It quickly dissolved into the jade pendant.

Ning Yue waited for a while, and two red dots connected by a thin bloodline slowly emerged in the jade pendant.

To Ning Yue's surprise, Qi Xucheng was also no longer in the Biyou Valley Secret Realm.

Moreover, the two were actually quite close to each other.

They stood side by side, one in front of the other.

Ning Yue stuck his head out of the boat, but behind the thick clouds, he couldn't see any magical artifacts or people.

Because the flying artifact they were riding on had the ability to conceal their presence.

Therefore, Ning Yue guessed that Qi Xucheng behind him probably also used some kind of magical artifact to conceal his aura.

A white figure followed her out.

His robes fluttered in the breeze as he stood beside Ning Yue, looking into the clouds behind them.

Seeing nothing, he asked out of curiosity.

"What are you looking at, Junior Sister?" Shi Yinghan asked.

Ning Yue immediately snapped out of her daze.

Unaware that Shi Yinghan was standing beside him.

She looked away from the clouds and smiled at Shi Yinghan.

"It's nothing, I just find it strange that you can't see anything from such a high place."

Shi Yinghan smiled and said, "Once you learn to fly on a sword, you won't need to rely on flying artifacts anymore; you can fly in the air on your own."

"When will I be able to learn it?" Ning Yue asked excitedly.

Shi Yinghan lowered her eyes and thought for a while.

"New disciples will be taught sword flight in a unified manner. They can basically fly at low altitudes in three to five months, but it will probably take several years to become proficient."

"It's taken so long?" Ning Yue thought back to when she took her driving test, she got her license in thirty days.

Shi Yinghan chuckled softly, her brows and eyes relaxing gently.

"Don't worry, I'll give you extra tutoring in my spare time, and I guarantee you'll learn how to fly on a sword right away."

Ning Yue held the pink longsword and asked curiously.

"Senior brother, when you first joined the sect, did Master also have a longsword custom-made for you?"

Shi Yinghan paused, then suddenly turned to look outside the spaceship.

He had an expression that said, "I don't want to look back on the past."

Ning Yue deliberately leaned closer: "What's wrong, Senior Brother? Is it hard to talk about what Master gave you?"

Shi Yinghan chuckled helplessly, "Master always likes to dress up his disciples. When I first joined the sect, he also gave me a longsword..."

He paused, then turned to see Ning Yue was very interested, and continued.

"—A pink longsword, very similar in color to yours."

"During training, my classmates all used the same black iron swords, but I drew a long sword that was entirely pink, and they laughed at me for a while."

"Some female disciples even came to ask me where I got this sword from."

I specifically asked my master, and he said he had the elder in charge of weapon crafting change the color.

"In the end, I begged my master for a long time before he reluctantly changed the sword to blue."

Ning Yue burst out laughing, holding Huanming and laughing heartily.

Who would have thought that Master's obsession with decorations would also have affected Shi Yinghan?

Seeing Ning Yue laugh, Shi Yinghan couldn't hold back her laughter either and burst out laughing.

"Luckily it was my junior sister this time. If it had been a junior brother, who knows what color sword Master would have made."

"...What color sword is it?" Yang Fei's voice suddenly came.

"We were talking about Master," Shi Yinghan replied with a smile.

"Enforcement Elder?" Yang Fei frowned immediately upon hearing this, shook his head, and said to Ning Yue.

"Junior Sister, don't be fooled by your master's always smiling, kind-hearted appearance; he can be ruthless in the end."

Ning Yue was quite curious: "What kind of move will you make?"

"Tsk tsk tsk," Yang Fei said seriously.

"The law enforcement elders are in charge of the sect's laws and punishments. Disciples who make mistakes must be dealt with according to the regulations."

Can you imagine the elder of law enforcement laughing as he hits you? He really doesn't hold back when he hits people!

Ning Yue thought of the gentle, peace-loving demeanor of the law enforcement elder and didn't take it to heart.

He boasted, "My master dotes on me so much, how could he possibly hit me?"

"Don't you believe me!" Yang Fei immediately said, "Your senior brother has been beaten up before, but isn't he still your master's favorite student?"

Ning Yue immediately looked at Shi Yinghan, exclaiming in surprise, "Really, Senior Brother?!"

Shi Yinghan stood there with an unchanged expression; if it weren't for the slight blush on his cheeks, one wouldn't have been able to tell anything.

Yang Fei said smugly, "Look! Your senior brother's face is all red; he's been beaten by your master!"

Yang Fei showed no mercy in embarrassing his senior brother in front of his junior sister.

Shi Yinghan slapped Yang Fei away, looked into Ning Yue's eyes, and couldn't help but cough to cover it up.

"Don't listen to your Senior Brother Yang's nonsense. That was just Master's normal instruction. It didn't hurt at all, and I didn't feel anything."

Ning Yue suppressed a laugh, surprised that her senior brother was such a proud and aloof person.

Yang Fei gestured towards Shi Yinghan with his lips, seemingly unsure whether to agree or disagree.

"—Isn't your senior brother cute? He even gets shy."

"Say one more word and I'll throw you overboard."

Yang Fei snorted smugly and shut his mouth.
