Yunxi's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"Senior Sister Mu, have the big shots finished their negotiations?"
"Yes. The Beast Tide retreated on its own yesterday, which means the big shots on both sides reached an agreement."
"Phew! That's for the best. I was worried we'd be trapped here and unable to leave!"
Yunxi was genuinely delighted.
"Tsk, I thought you wanted to temper your skills in the Beast Tide a little longer?"
Mu Ningzhu teased.
Yunxi immediately said obediently:
"Senior Sister, you're always making fun of me. I know exactly how much I'm capable of."
Mu Ningzhu said helplessly:
"I don't think you do. Yesterday, you fought the fiercest of all. You kept charging straight into the packs of Demon Beasts."
Yunxi pulled a long face and said:
"Senior Sister, heaven and earth bear witness—I was whipped into that herd of Demon Beasts by the Five-Colored Boa."
Zhen Tongshuang, standing beside them, curled her lips slightly and stepped in to smooth things over.
"Uncle-Master Mu, don't blame Yunxi. It was also her first time fighting so many Demon Beasts. The fact that she returned whole and unscathed is enough to prove her strength."
"Fine! Just don't be so reckless next time. We also have Senior Brother Sheng to thank this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it in time to rescue you."
Mu Ningzhu's tone softened.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Mu. There won't be a next time."
Yunxi immediately promised.
She could tell that Mu Ningzhu truly treated her like a junior sister. Coupled with Zhen Tongshuang's relationship with her, they had effectively brought Wei Yunxi into their circle.
Just as the three of them finished talking, Sheng Yuhong appeared and said to everyone:
"Fellow disciples, we will not need to fight today. You may all move about
