Mu Shishuang, who they thought had no strength like an ordinary person, suddenly showed something strange at this moment, making people realize that he was not as simple as they imagined.

Yue Lei folded his hands in front of his chest, looking at the surging runes on Mu Shishuang's body. Even he was a little confused. How could this powerless woman have such a powerful "Tao" power emerging from her body?

"what!"

Mu Shishuang moaned softly, beads of sweat the size of beans continuously dripping from her forehead. Her eyes became an extremely deep blue, as if containing time and space.

"Sister Mu!"

Some people who were worried about Mu Shishuang, such as Fu Yuemei and Chi Simian, were rushing forward and happened to meet such a pair of eyes. At that moment, they all felt naked, not only physically but also spiritually. They felt like they had no secrets left.

Mu Shishuang quickly glanced in several directions, and finally pointed tremblingly to the northeast, then fell weakly to the ground. The purple light quickly hid in Mu Shishuang's body, as if it had never appeared.

Lin Ran came to Mu Shishuang, and carried her on his back. When he met Mu Shishuang's tired eyes that had returned to normal, he said in a low and hoarse voice: "You self-willed woman, I won't thank you. If you do it again, I will put you in the small dark room!"

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Mu Shishuang couldn't help but smile. She stretched out her hand and wrote softly on Lin Ran's back: "You are welcome to do this!"

Lin Ran: "..."

I have never seen such a provocative person, he is mocking him right in the face! If he is a tiger and doesn't show his might, do you think he is a sick cat?

Lin Ran pointed to the northeast and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go, northeast!"

"Yes!"

The students of Linghua Academy responded and hurriedly followed.

Mulan also hurried to the front. Although she didn't know how the woman on Mr. Lin's back judged that the northeast direction was safe, she was shocked. Should I say that they are indeed people from the five major academies? They are all hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Under the bright sun, on the scorched ancient battlefield, if you look down from the sky, those tiny insect-like people are crossing the ancient battlefield from different directions, but their destination is the vast continuous mountain range at the end of the ancient battlefield - Qianlong Mountain!

……

130. One Night on the Ancient Battlefield

"Dean, my father and the others... don't seem to have caught up..."

Lin Chong thought that his father and the others had been following them, but when he went deep into the heart of the ancient battlefield and glanced back casually, he was shocked to find that there was nothing behind them, so he hurried to Wen Ling and whispered the matter to him.

"what?"

Wen Ling was also startled. He subconsciously looked back, but did not see Lin Ran and his team. He could only see the windy sand and the special terrain everywhere in the ancient battlefield.

This made Wen Ling a little confused, and he couldn't help but say: "Your father doesn't look like a reckless person, why would he..."

Lin Chong lowered his head in deep thought, then he remembered what his father told him when he set out, and added: "It is possible that my father decided to follow his own route. He said that the space here in the ancient battlefield is unstable and the route can change at any time. We can't just walk one way until we die..."

"Is that so?"

When Wen Ling heard this, he suddenly looked towards the two academies in front of him, where people were walking hurriedly. He whispered to Lin Chong, "Tell them quietly to be cautious and pay attention. If anything unusual happens, come towards me immediately. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Dean!"

Lin Chong nodded and went downstairs to inform his teammates.

Wen Ling glanced back again, then turned back and looked ahead with deep eyes. He thought to himself, "I hope I won't be so unlucky!"

……

The entrance to the ancient battlefield welcomed a large number of convoys. Judging from the flags on the convoys, they were undoubtedly the super sects and their vassal forces participating in the secret realm this time. After all, how many forces could allow the Qin family's patriarch, a powerful Dragon Transformation Realm expert, to lead the team personally?

"Why are there so many carriages here?"

In the carriage where Jian Zong was, Huang Shishi opened the tent and looked out. Seeing so many carriages parked below, he couldn't help but raise questions.

Shangguan Mengqing, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes after hearing Huang Shishi's words and looked outside. He said calmly, "It should be that carriages cannot be used to travel on the ancient battlefield, so we can only cross it on foot!"

"Wouldn't it be easy to get into danger?" Huang Shishi said, turning his head.

Shangguan Mengqing pointed outside and said, "Isn't Mr. Wu here?"

"Hahaha, Shangguan girl, you finally remembered me at this time!"

A laugh sounded in the ears of the two men, and an old man with gray hair and wearing an old Taoist robe suddenly appeared in the relatively spacious carriage.

"Hello, Uncle Wu!"

Huang Shishi said respectfully.

Uncle Wu waved his hand casually and said, "Don't be so formal with me. I don't like this old man. You can just go to the ancient battlefield. I will protect you if there is any danger."

"You are all treasures of the Sword Sect. If there are any problems, I will be torn to pieces by those two." Uncle Wu stroked his short white beard and made a small joke. As for which two people, the only ones who can tear apart a strong man of Uncle Wu's level are probably the two great figures of the Sword Sect who are at the Saint level!

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Wu!"

Shangguan Mengqing lowered his head slightly and said.

"fine!"

Uncle Wu smiled and disappeared in the carriage in a flash.

Looking at Uncle Wu who came and went freely and without a trace, Huang Shishi said with emotion: "Uncle Wu still looks the same!"

"Ok!"

Shangguan Mengqing responded, and the carriage fell silent again, causing Huang Shishi to scratch his face awkwardly. Could it be that he really didn't know how to chat?

……

The scorching sun in the sky gradually sets to the distant horizon. The dazzling sun turns into a dim red, dyeing the earth with a layer of dim yellow that makes people feel lonely.

A team is still rampaging across the vast ancient battlefield. After a day's journey, they have arrived at the heart of the ancient battlefield. They should be still one-third of the way to the vast Qianlong Mountain.

But when they got here, they didn't dare to walk so fast anymore. When they came across forks in the road or some unstable places, they had to guess again and again before they dared to take a step. Although the speed of travel was slow, it also ensured safety.

"Mr. Lin!"

Mulan stopped and saw that the sky was already mostly dark. She couldn't help but stop and suggested to Lin Ran: "Let's not travel at night. There are too many dangers in the ancient battlefield. I'll find a safer flat place, and we can camp and barely spend the night, okay?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, the expert!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

Mulan shook her head, took out the map and looked at it, saying, "How can I be considered an expert? Mr. Lin, you are really good along the way. You helped us avoid many unstable space areas. I have recorded the route. It can be sold for a lot of money. Mr. Lin, do you want to earn a share?"

"Of course. Remember to give me half of it when the time comes. If you don't make money, wouldn't you be a bastard?" Lin Ran made a joke, causing the team to burst into happy laughter.

It did dispel some of the boredom and panic caused by the journey.

Mulan found a fairly wide intersection. She took out the map and explained to Lin Ran, "There are several large pits around here. You can even go down and drill a hole because this is a confirmed safe place."

"Of course, I was just talking, but you were so stupid as to fall into my trap. After all, the ancient battlefield has been changing all the time, as if someone was secretly controlling it. Who knows if there will be any problems now?" Mulan shook her head and smiled.

"Being manipulated by someone?"

Lin Ran kept this in mind. He found a relatively flat terrain, checked the surroundings, and then began to direct the students to build a simple campsite together. It would be enough to block the wind and sand and take some rest. In this special period, he couldn't ask for too much.

When the sky was completely dark, a bright moon as big as a millstone emerged from the night sky. The daytime was deprived of the right to appear on the stage by the sun, and now it was the moon's turn to come out and sing a song. The silvery moonlight lightly sprinkled on this desolate ancient battlefield.

But it is difficult for people to feel the beauty of this. On the contrary, when the sand blows up from time to time, revealing some of the already extremely fragile skeleton, the fear in the heart will be even greater.

Lin Ran found a small stool to sit on, and Mu Shishuang leaned on Lin Ran's shoulder. There was no bonfire in the camp, for fear of attracting some strange things. The boys had one tent and the girls had another tent. Lin Ran and Yue Lei, both in the Nirvana realm, were responsible for keeping watch.

Mulan held the oil lamp and continued to study the next route. Everything was so quiet. As the night deepened, the frightened students also fell into a rare sleep.

Mu Shishuang, who was next to Lin Ran, had already laid down on Lin Ran's thighs, breathing softly.

Mu Shishuang likes to curl up when she sleeps, with her hands clasped into fists beside her face, and she looks like she lacks a sense of security.

Lin Ran gently stroked Mu Shishuang's hair. He glanced at Yue Lei and found that the boy was actually asleep. Lin Ran couldn't help but shook his head. He took out a small bundle wrapped in gorgeous brocade from his space ring.

When he opened the bundle, he found a bracelet made entirely of blood jade with a hint of amber yellow lying quietly inside. It was the Phoenix Bracelet that connected him and Shangguan Mengqing.

He hadn't used it to chat with Shangguan Mengqing for a long time. Of course, the chat he was referring to was definitely a chat between the two parties, not a one-sided message chat every day. Sometimes he felt like a licking dog, but he seemed to have been licking it a long time ago. Does that still count? Or is he a licking dog exclusive to the Sword Sect Fairy?

Lin Ran put all the strange thoughts in his mind behind him. The reason he took this out today, besides because he was bored late at night, the most important reason was that he wanted to see if Shangguan Mengqing would come here too.

This was just a hunch. Although he felt that Shangguan Mengqing would not come to the secret realm in person to recruit disciples, he was still thinking about her coming. After all, he hadn't seen her for a long time. She should have become more powerful, right?

Lin Ran immersed his mind into the Phoenix Life-Sharing Bracelet, and then... Lin Ran discovered something very terrifying, that is, the Phoenix Life-Sharing Bracelet could actually sense Shangguan Mengqing's location. Although it was not too clear, it could indeed sense it.

Before, I could only sense a very subtle feeling, almost nothing.

Because the Phoenix Life Bracelet was too far away, it could only sense whether the other person was still alive, but now it can sense Shangguan Mengqing's specific location. What does this mean?

Doesn’t this mean that Shangguan Mengqing might be with him in this ancient battlefield at this moment?

Lin Ran's legs were already trembling with excitement, which disturbed Mu Shishuang's sweet dream. She patted Lin Ran's thigh and muttered, "Don't move... Okay..."

"Sorry sorry!"

Lin Ran gently stroked Mu Shishuang's head. After calming the girl down, Lin Ran once again immersed himself in the Phoenix Bracelet. He spoke carefully, "Good evening?!"

Also in the ancient battlefield, a hundred miles away from Lin Ran, Shangguan Mengqing and her team happened to be stationed there, but on their side, it can be said that most of the forces were not as cautious as Lin Ran. The lights were bright, wine glasses were clinking, and shouts were heard everywhere.

On the contrary, Shangguan Mengqing was at a place where she had built a simple tent in a relatively quiet place. She sat on a small wooden stool, holding her chin, looking at the crackling bonfire in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

Huang Shishi went to the Sword Sect's vassal forces to organize a gathering, so Shangguan Mengqing was the only one here. She never had many friends and didn't know how to make friends because she always liked quietness. Over the years, there was only that one person who could make noise and enter her life.

She subconsciously turned the Phoenix Bracelet on her right hand, feeling a little more resentful. Wouldn't that fool come to find her?

Just as she was thinking this, the Phoenix Bracelet actually lit up with a faint light, which startled Shangguan Mengqing. When she immersed her mind in the bracelet, a light and extremely familiar voice sounded in her mind.

"good evening!"

……

131. Boring is always best

For some reason, when Shangguan Mengqing heard the awkward yet familiar beginning, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Her clear and cold eyes were slightly curved, which was particularly moving. But it was a pity that no one should be able to appreciate such a scene.

She immersed herself in the bracelet and responded calmly, "Yeah!"

Lin Ran on the other end was overjoyed when he heard Shangguan Mengqing's reply, but he soon fell into distress. The fairy replied with just one word, how should he respond?

After thinking for a while, Lin Ran decided to get straight to the point and asked, "Why are you here in this ancient battlefield? Did the Sword Sect send you here to recruit disciples this time?"

"Ok!"

The other side still keeps saying the same thing.

Lin Ran was not angry. His woman had a little temper. He was sure that this woman was responding like that on purpose. She had a lot of little schemes in her mind!

So to deal with the Fairy, Lin Ran also figured out a way in his mind, which was to use the simplest and most violent method.

"Mengqing, I miss you!" Lin Ran said affectionately.

This time, the other party responded much slower. After about a minute or two, the other end replied, "Yeah!"

Although he couldn't see the other person, Lin Ran was sure that his straight shot would hit the fairy's heart.

On the other side, Shangguan Mengqing, who was sitting by the campfire, felt her face getting hot under her veil. She also wanted to respond to Lin Ran. She also wanted to tell Lin Ran what was in her mind, but perhaps because of her nature, she couldn't open her mouth.

She would only dare to express her inner feelings when Lin Ran was asleep or unconscious.

Just when Shangguan Mengqing was thinking about how to respond, footsteps were heard not far away. Shangguan Mengqing turned around and saw that it was Qin Yi, the young master of the Qin family. His heart, which had been turbulent, suddenly became as calm as dead water.

She retracted her gaze, stared at the campfire and said indifferently: "It's Master Qin Yi, what's the matter with you coming here?"

Qin Yi smoothed the long hair on his forehead, and smiled at his somewhat devilish face, saying respectfully: "Seeing that Senior Sister Shangguan was sitting here alone, I wanted to come over to accompany her to relieve her boredom!"

"That's not necessary!"

Shangguan Mengqing stood up and said very directly: "I like to be alone and quiet. Besides, your entry into the Sword Sect is not a foregone conclusion. It is better to prepare well for the battle in the secret realm!"

With her status, she didn't need to give any face to the young master of the Qin family of the war alliance. She turned around and went into the simple tent, leaving the tightly drawn curtain for Qin Yi.

Qin Yi, who was turned away, actually had a very ugly expression on his face, but he still honestly bowed his head and said goodbye to the tent before leaving in shame.

Qin Yi returned to the Qin family's camp with a gloomy face. Qin Yi went straight to his father's tent, lifted the curtain and walked in.

Qin Tianying, who was having a drink, saw his son walk in with a gloomy face. As his father knows his son best, he probably knew what had happened to his son.

He stood up and looked at Qin Yi, who was looking down with his head and expressionless, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? You suffered a loss at the hands of that Sword Sect girl, and now you're putting on a show for your father after coming back?"

"No…"

Qin Yi raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said unwillingly, "Father, am I really that bad? That woman just now didn't even look at me straight in the eye."

Thinking of the scenes just now, Qin Yi really felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart. A rage called unwillingness, anger, and jealousy was burning.

Qin Tianying looked at his son like this, and he said calmly: "Qin Yi, I advise you to restrain your thoughts, otherwise you will not be able to enter the Sword Sect."

"Could that woman possibly stop me from becoming a Sword Sect?" Qin Yi retorted.
