Xie Yuci's face always had a youthful vigor that was unique to a young man. He always had a smile on his face, the bright and uninhibited smile of a young man.

Seeing that Zhuo Qingtan seemed a little displeased at this time, he said "Ouch". I don't know which muscle was wrong, but he dared to reach out and grab Zhuo Qingtan's sleeve, and then said with a smile:

"Miss Zhuo, look, you are good at everything, but you are a little angry."

Zhuo Qingtan almost laughed out of anger at him. This was the first time in her life that someone said she was angry.

She exerted slight force, frowned and pulled out her sleeves.

Xie Yuci continued to flatter him and said: "Xie naturally knows that all this is my own fault.

It was Xie who fell into Qian's eyes and insisted on running back to pick some poppies, so he was sucked into the secret realm.

Since it was Xie who planted the cause and effect himself, then life and death are determined by one’s own destiny, so how can one blame Miss Zhuo.”

Zhuo Qingtan really laughed angrily this time, and she said calmly: "I think you understand all the principles, but you insist on seeking death. Are you really a young man who is fearless?"

This time she didn't even call her "Young Master" and even said such rude words as "seeking death", which showed that she was really angry.

Xie Yuci was not angry. He took out a piece of cooking cake from his arms with a smile, handed it to Zhuo Qingtan, and said flatteringly:

"Miss Zhuo, are you hungry? Even if you want to be angry with me, it will take strength. How about you eat and scold at the same time?"

Zhuo Qingtan paused, then she slowly turned her head, looked at the lapel of his clothes where he had taken out the cakes rather speechlessly, and then frowned:

"You actually...put the cooking cakes and the magic talismans together."

She remembered the two high-grade spiritual talismans she had handed to the young man at the door of the inn, and he had placed them in his chest.

Immortal disciples use spiritual power to activate the magic talisman, but if mortals use the spiritual talisman, they need to light fire to activate it.

The charms should not be stained with oil or water, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.

Xie Yuci was speechless for a moment, and he asked in confusion:

"What, what's wrong? This...but what did Xie do wrong?"

Zhuo Qingtan paused for a moment, took a deep breath for a few moments, and then turned her head: "It doesn't matter."

Anyway, Xie Yuci has now entered the secret realm of Sufeng Valley with her, so he won't need these two talismans anymore.

The young man happily extended his hand forward again: "Then you eat it! This is the last piece of cake I have, and I give it to Miss Zhuo."

Zhuo Qingtan shook his head and said calmly: "No need. There is innate energy in the secret realm. When we enter it, we will not feel hungry, let alone eat. Mr. Xie, please keep it for yourself."

"No wonder."

Xie Yuci nodded suddenly. Seeing that Zhuo Qingtan really didn't want it, he took back his hand and took a bite of the pancake.

He smiled: "In that case, there is no need to keep this cooking cake. I will eat it now and save space."

Zhuo Qingtan sighed softly. She formed a seal with one hand and cast a spell, steadily covering Xie Yuci's body with a halo of silver-white spiritual power.

Xie Yuci stopped chewing. He looked doubtfully at the white halo caused by spiritual power surrounding him, frowned and asked, "Miss Zhuo, what do you mean?"

Zhuo Qingtan said softly: "Thank you, Master, time does not wait for me, so I cannot delay. I have to leave now.

Young Master will be waiting here. If I can come back alive, I will take you back safely.

If...if I encounter misfortune, it can only be regarded as because I am not good at teaching and the master's fortune is bad."

Xie Yuci swallowed the cake with some difficulty, then silently threw the remaining half of the cake on the ground.

He sighed and said slowly: "Miss Zhuo, since we two are destined to live and die together today, what's the point of leaving me here to live a little longer.

If you are in trouble, the barrier that you used to protect me will naturally dissipate. If the barrier that protects me is not there, I, a first-level mortal, will not still be alive.

In this case, you might as well take me with you, so that even if you are in that critical moment, you can at least let me know how you died, right?"

Zhuo Qingtan looked at him with a frown, and then said calmly: "Master Xie, didn't you say that you believed in me earlier, but now you seem to think that we will inevitably die this time."

Xie Yuci smiled like a rogue, and he shrugged: "If Miss Zhuo takes me along with you, I will definitely trust you and I will not regret it even if I die.

But if you leave me here alone, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died by then, and I am a fool who Xie Yuci is unwilling to do."

Zhuo Qingtan was silent for a moment. In fact, it was extremely rare for her to be persuaded by others, but what Xie Yuci said also made some sense.

If she was unfortunate enough to die and die, Xie Yuci would only be able to live a little longer if she stayed here.

Seeing her hesitation, Xie Yuci felt that there was a way, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Miss Zhuo, Mr. Zhuo, please just take me with you.

I am very timid. If you left me here alone, I would be afraid of people."

Zhuo Qingtan glanced at him silently, then suddenly raised his hand and waved, and the barrier on Xie Yuci's body dissipated.

Xie Yuci immediately smiled with crooked eyebrows, took a step forward, and said in a very silly way:

"I know Miss Zhuo is a very reasonable person, so let's go!"

This young man... is really not afraid of her at all. Zhuo Qingtan can't do anything to him.

She shook her head slightly and no longer hesitated. She raised her eyes to carefully observe the flow of spiritual energy in the secret realm, and finally found a direction flowing towards the center of the array eye, and continued moving forward.

As they walked, no matter how long it took, the scenery and weather around the secret place slowly changed.

Xie Yuci raised his hand to pick up a falling snowflake, and said with some surprise: "It's actually snowing? It turns out that it also snows in the secret realm of Sufeng Valley?"

Zhuo Qingtan also raised his head and looked quietly at the heavy snowflakes flying in the sky, feeling relieved suddenly in his heart.

She caught a few snowflakes, looked at the white and crystal clear edelweiss in her palm, and smiled.

She said softly: "Previously, in the secret realm of Sufeng Valley, I was unable to contact my fellow disciples using Langya Jade, which made me feel uneasy.

But now that I see the snow, I feel a little relieved."

Xie Yuci's eyebrows moved, and he didn't know what he thought of. He asked her with a slight smile:

"But because there is no snow in that secret realm in your Duanxu Palace, is Miss Zhuo convinced that the two secret realms are indeed very different?"

There was a smile on Zhuo Qingtan's lips, and she nodded gently: "That's why we admire the secret realm of Taixu in Duanxu Palace in Ashan, where the four seasons are like spring, with no cold snow and no biting west wind.

It can be seen from this that the four secret realms are indeed different from each other. In this case, it is very possible that Langya Jade was trapped by the formation and temporarily disabled in Sufeng Valley."

She raised a hand and brushed her long sleeves against a wintersweet tree passing by.

The plum branches on the tree that were on the verge of death due to broken branches actually quickly grew back together and regained their vitality under the nourishment of the magical spiritual energy.

The silver moon is in the sky, the cold plum blossoms are proud of the snow, and the silver-white spiritual power is flowing through it, showing the bright beauty.

Xie Yuci teased her in a disgraceful way: "Miss Zhuo, since your available spiritual power is limited at this time, it's better not to waste your spiritual power on being a 'flower cherisher'."

Zhuo Qingtan smiled softly and replied: "You can't waste much spiritual power with just a little effort."

This scene in the secret realm is actually very vast and majestic.

It was just that the two of them were walking on snow in the secret plum forest. After a while, they discovered that the snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and they could hardly see the way forward.

You know, it was summer in the mortal world outside Sufeng Valley at this time, so they were actually wearing very thin clothes when they entered the secret realm.

Xie Yuci complained as he walked: "Isn't it right? Why is it getting colder and colder in this secret realm? The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

Although we won’t be hungry, we will still be cold! Miss Zhuo, we won’t freeze to death, right?”

Perhaps because she was tired, Zhuo Qingtan's voice sounded particularly soft and low. She answered softly:

"It should be because we are already close to the center of the secret realm."

The Sufeng Valley Secret Realm is in winter among the four seasons, so the closer you get to the center of the secret realm, the lower the temperature will be and the snow will naturally fall heavier.

Walking here despite the wind and snow, Zhuo Qingtan has broken through more than ten small barriers in the secret realm along the way.

Xie Yuci sighed and murmured: "It's too cold, it's not fun at all."

He didn't hear Zhuo Qingtan's response, so he turned around and looked over despite the wind and snow that hurt his eyes.

However, he saw that although Zhuo Qingtan's pace had not slowed down even half a minute, his steps became heavier and heavier.
