"Junior Brother Xueyan seemed to have made great strides in his cultivation. But in a place as perilous and unpredictable as this, you and I can barely protect ourselves. Isn't it a little too early to start tearing down our own walls?" Faced with Xueyan's icy remarks, Lan Xuan naturally had no reason to be any friendlier.
"Senior Brothers, please calm down. Don't forget the task the Venerable Lord and Martial Uncle entrusted to us." Mo Yuyan turned her attention away from Yan Xiaoyu and said with a frown.
"Junior Sister Mo is right. Rest assured, though Senior Brother Lan Xuan and I may be at odds, we would never let it ruin the mission." Xueyan smiled, then glanced at Yan Xiaoyu and the black panther puppet. "As for Fellow Daoist Yan and this senior, though we were strangers before, now that we've entered this secret realm together, we're all in the same boat. We each know different things about this place. Why don't we share what we know and help one another, so we can get through it as safely as possible?"
"When we entered the star region together, most of what we knew about this secret realm came from rumors we'd gathered there. My master and Senior Hao, both Body Integration Cultivators, never entered it themselves. Apart from what they wanted, they may not know much about the rest. Given our present circumstances, joining forces against unknown dangers would be far more useful than these pointless tests of one another." Yan Xiaoyu smiled, but her words were not especially courteous.
"Since that's settled, let's stop wasting words and go look for the Azure Star Dew." The black panther puppet controlled by Lu Xiaotian spoke coldly.
"Very well. If you two are so confident, that's certainly a good thing."
