Chapter 433: Distracted
Xu Yi took another deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said:
"In addition, according to the in-depth investigation of the Second Elder, this dark force is extremely keen on plundering geniuses with outstanding talents and spiritual bones of the lowest quality, white holy spirit bones."
Having said that, Xu Yi's eyes became more serious and solemn, like two sharp swords, sweeping over Su Chenyin, Jun Yijue, Lu Ziche and others one by one.
He spoke again: "Although I don't know the specific quality of the spirit bones of some of you."
"But considering your outstanding talents, the quality of your spirit bones must be high, at least Holy Spirit Bone."
Xu Yi paused, with a look of worry in his eyes: "And this Ku Yue Sect is hunting you down in the secret realm, which shows that they have already locked their target on you before entering the secret realm."
"So, now that you have walked out of the secret realm, it is even less likely that they will give up hunting you down and plundering your spirit bones."
Xu Yi warned earnestly: "Therefore, you must be extra careful in the future, never act alone, and travel in groups as much as possible."
After saying this, his gaze fell deeply on Su Chenyin and the others, his eyes revealing concern and worry, as if he wanted to protect them under his wings.
Su Chenyin and the others nodded, indicating that they understood, and answered in unison: "We understand, Teacher Xu."
After hearing their assurances, Xu Yi's originally solemn face finally showed a smile, and his eyes revealed a hint of relief.
Then, his eyes fell on Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue, his brows slightly furrowed, seeming a little worried.
He opened his mouth again and warned:
"Especially you two, Chen Yin and Yi Jue. Your talents are obvious to all. The quality of your spirit bones is undoubtedly very high. Therefore, you are likely to become their main targets."
"So, you two must be careful. I can't protect you all the time. You must be extra careful. Do you understand?"
There was a hint of worry in Xu Yi's voice, worried that the two young men would get into danger because of their overconfidence.
Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue felt inexplicably touched when they heard Xu Yi's caring words.
They glanced at each other quickly and saw determination in each other's eyes.
They nodded solemnly to Xu Yi and answered in unison: "Teacher Xu, don't worry, we will be careful and cautious."
Although both of them have the spiritual power to cultivate to a high level, they are not afraid of the Ku Yue Sect.
However, the Ku Yue Sect is insidious and cunning, and its methods are extremely cruel, making it difficult to guard against them.
Therefore, they chose to humbly accept the concern of Teacher Xu Yi.
Xu Yi looked at their steadfastness and felt a little more at ease.
He nodded slightly in satisfaction, but his tone remained serious: "Very good, as long as you two know what's going on."
Then, he turned his gaze to the others and continued to remind them, "Although you don't have outstanding talents like Chen Yin and Yi Jue, you should not take it lightly either."
"The background of this Withered Moon Cult is unfathomable, and they have not been active in the open for many years, so our understanding of them is just the tip of the iceberg."
"And in this world, danger can come at any time and anywhere. Only by staying vigilant at all times can we better protect ourselves."
Xu Yi frowned and spoke in a heavy tone.
Everyone nodded to express their understanding.
Xu Yi continued, "In addition, you must also work hard to practice and improve your strength. Only when you are strong can you protect yourself and deal with danger more calmly."
"And remember carefully, there are no shortcuts on the road of cultivation. Only by continuous efforts can you go further. Don't be too anxious."
Xu Yi looked at everyone with burning eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.
Su Chenyin and the others responded in unison: "We understand. We will practice hard, Teacher Xu!"
Xu Yi smiled with relief and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then I'm relieved."
"Let's go. It's getting late. The other disciples may have already returned. Let's go back to the team first. We can make plans after we return to the Holy Academy."
After saying that, Xu Yi turned around and led Su Chenyin and the others back to the Cang Luo Holy Academy’s base not far from the entrance to the secret realm.
Soon, Xu Yi and everyone arrived at the camp.
The other disciples were sitting together, happily discussing their experiences of this trip to the secret realm, their expressions were either excited or emotional.
Seeing Xu Yi and others return, the disciples of the elite class stood up to greet them.
"Teacher Xu, you are finally back." said a male disciple with a happy smile on his face.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, with a gentle and kind smile on his face: "Everyone has worked hard, hurry up and pack up and prepare to return to the Holy Academy."
Everyone responded and began to work in an orderly manner.
At this time, Wen Shuer, who had just returned from the secret realm, saw Lu Ziche at a glance and discovered that he had returned safely with Teacher Xu Yi.
She then breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body relaxed instantly, like a rubber band that had been overstretched and suddenly released.
After all, she hadn't seen Lu Ziche since entering the secret realm, and she didn't know what his situation was.
She was very worried that Lu Ziche had met with an accident.
After all, this exploration of the secret realm is extremely difficult, with deadly dangers lurking everywhere.
So, when she saw that Lu Ziche was safe and sound, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground with a bang.
"Fortunately, fortunately, he is fine, that's good." Wen Shu'er muttered to herself in her heart.
At the same time, she patted her chest gently, as if to pat away all the worries and fears in her heart.
Then, Wen Shuer's bright big eyes opened wide and fixed on Lu Ziche without blinking.
Her eyes revealed an obsessive look, and she did not hide her attention to Lu Ziche.
At this moment, Yu Zhiyan noticed the infatuated expression on Wen Shuer's face as she looked at Lu Ziche, and she couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Yu Zhiyan curled her lips, nudged Lu Ziche with her arm, raised her chin slightly towards Wen Shuer, with a mischievous smile on her face.
She said with a slightly sour tone, "Look, some people are really very charming. As soon as they come back, someone is eagerly waiting for them."
"Look at the way Wen Shu'er looks at you. Look how eager she is. Her eyes are almost popping out of her head. She is simply out of her mind."
Yu Zhiyan's tone was sarcastic, with a teasing smile on her face, but a hint of jealousy was faintly visible in her eyes.
"Ah?!" Lu Ziche was slightly stunned, his face full of confusion and his eyes wide open.
He looked in the direction Yu Zhiyan pointed, and happened to meet Wen Shuer's eager eyes.
The two people's eyes met, and the bustling atmosphere around them instantly became a little subtle.
At this moment, when Wen Shuer saw Lu Ziche looking at her, her cheeks suddenly flushed like a bright peach blossom.
It was red all the way to the base of my ears.
She looked away hurriedly, just like a little girl who was caught peeking.
But her heart was beating uncontrollably like a deer, and she was twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands.
