Sachet (Seeking Recommendation Tickets! Seeking Collections!)

"Thank you, Senior Brother Huang, then." Pei Ling replied calmly.

As he spoke, Pei Ling turned and walked towards his own room.

Watching Pei Ling return to his room, Huang Xian suddenly said, "Junior Sister Chen, did you hear what this kid just said?"

Chen Mei emerged from the shadows of the bushes, the moonlight dappling her face, revealing a cold expression. "I'll have the Tracking Bees go find it right away!"

Not long after, the sachet that Pei Ling had deliberately discarded in the bamboo forest was found by the two of them.

"We did pass by here when we came back during the day," Chen Mei said.

Huang Xian examined it a few times. Seeing that it was just an ordinary sachet used by mortals, he paid it no mind and said indifferently, "He didn't bring any weapons when he went out. It seems he really is looking for something. We'll send it to him tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Meanwhile, inside the small building.

Pei Ling frowned. He had made many preparations, and encountering Huang Xian just now was not unexpected.

Since Chen Huan and the others intended to harm him, they would definitely send people to spy on him.

But the most important thing now was not this, but that he couldn't contact Wu Liu just now!

"This is troublesome!"

"If Wu Liu isn't here, with my cultivation and strength, I'm definitely no match for Chen Huan, let alone five of them!"

"Seek help from City Lord Duanmu?"

"No! The City Lord is not related to me. Without sufficient benefits to impress him, he won't help me."

"Moreover, Chen Huan and the others specifically chose this place, so they must have made preparations in this regard."

"Then... use Fairy Li's name to make them afraid to touch me?"

Thinking of this, Pei Ling pondered for a moment, then shook his head. He absolutely could not use the tactic of borrowing Fairy Li's name unless it was a last resort.

This was because he couldn't be sure if Wu Liu was really not in the shadows!

If Wu Liu was hiding in the shadows watching him, and he impersonated her master's authority, Wu Liu would definitely take his life the first moment she found out!

"There are two ways to test if Wu Liu is here: one is to skin Chen Mei alive; the other is to cultivate the [Blood Snail Evasion Technique]!"

"If I try the former and Wu Liu isn't here, then I'm finished!"

"To be safe, cultivating the [Blood Snail Evasion Technique] is more secure."

"But I can't cultivate it in the city!"

"Otherwise, if the System causes further trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"I need to go outside the city."

"Tomorrow, I'll suggest to Chen Huan that we go on a mission outside the city together."

"Also, Chen Mei is now key to my survival. I must stick to her like glue tomorrow!"

"This way, even if Chen Huan suddenly decides to make a move on me en route, I'll have Chen Mei as a hostage. And if Wu Liu is here, I can even lure her out!"

Having made up his mind, Pei Ling glanced at the sky outside the window. It was already late at night. To maintain sufficient energy, he hurried to sleep.

The next morning.

As soon as Pei Ling got up and got dressed, a knock sounded on the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Junior Brother Pei, are you awake?" Chen Mei's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Pei Ling put on the Aversion to Life Saber on his back and immediately went to open the door.

The door opened, and Chen Mei, her skirt trailing on the ground, stood charmingly outside. Chen Huan and the others were behind her.

Everyone showed a smile the moment they saw Pei Ling.

Yes, everything was ready.

Yesterday, they had already set up a sub-array of the Soul Devouring Mother-Child Array within Luo Mountain.

Today, all they needed to do was bring Pei Ling over and trap him in the sub-array, then set up the mother array, and they could wait for the Soul Summoning Banner to be completely refined!

This kid in front of them was simply adorably foolish. He hadn't noticed anything wrong yet.

Now, they just needed to continue pretending to be friendly fellow disciples, trick him, and lure him step by step into the sub-array.

This would save trouble and ensure that this most important offering for the Soul Summoning Banner remained intact in terms of spirit, energy, and essence!

Thinking of this, Chen Huan's smile widened. He casually stuffed the sachet found last night into Pei Ling's hand and said, "Junior Brother Pei, today we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Ling quickly walked to Chen Mei's side and, in front of her brother, pulled her into his embrace.

Chen Huan's expression instantly stiffened. Chen Mei instinctively wanted to struggle, but she was afraid Pei Ling would notice something was wrong. Thus, despite her immense shame and anger, she didn't dare to move.

"Senior Brother Chen, it's boring staying in the city. When can we go out on a mission?" Pei Ling asked immediately, as if he were already Chen Mei's man.

Chen Huan was furious. Their purpose in seeking out Pei Ling early this morning was to find an excuse to get him to go to Luo Mountain with them. Since the other party had brought it up himself, it was all the better.

But now, in front of him, the other party was molesting his sister, acting disgracefully. It was outrageous!

Seeing Chen Huan's displeased expression, Zhang Zhongqin, standing beside him, quickly transmitted a message: "Senior Brother Chen, he's going to die soon anyway. Why bother with a sacrifice?"

"Exactly, Senior Brother Chen, the bigger picture is more important!" Huang Xian chimed in via transmission.

Hearing this, Chen Huan understood the gravity of the situation. He forcibly suppressed his anger and forced a smile onto his face. "Since Junior Brother Pei wants to take on the mission, let's head out of the city now!"

A moment later, the group left Luoshan City and arrived at a secluded spot. Chen Huan then said to Xiao Tasha, "It will be hard work for you next, Junior Sister Xiao."

Xiao Tasha cast him a tender glance and replied, "It's no trouble, Senior Brother Chen. Rest assured, I will fulfill your wish."

With that, she took out a formation disk, performed a few hand seals, and cast them into it. She then shouted, "Wind rise!"

A gust of wind suddenly surged from the ground, sweeping up the group and rapidly heading towards the foot of Luo Mountain in the distance!

Swept into the air by the wind, Pei Ling held Chen Mei even tighter. Seeing that Chen Huan and the others had no intention of attacking him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around, he soon spotted a patch of pink and white in the southeast corner, like a vibrant splash of color against the vast green. It was clearly a very large flower forest...

The three missions they had accepted were: first, to deliver a letter to City Lord Duanmu, which was already completed; second, to slay a Flower Demon; and third, to deal with a Purple-Eyed Sable at the sixth level of Enlightenment.

Under normal circumstances, the mission they should be undertaking now was to slay the Flower Demon.

However, their direction was southwest, where green hues intertwined and stretched.

Although that area was lush with vegetation, it was all just fragrant grass and green trees.

It wouldn't be the Flower Demon's location no matter how you thought about it.

"The Flower Demon should be in that flower forest in the southeast. Where Chen Huan is taking me now is probably Luo Mountain..."

"It seems they're planning to make a move on me too. I need to be one step ahead of them!"

Pei Ling thought to himself, not revealing any expression.

After some time, the group descended from the wind, having already flown to the edge of the dense forest at the foot of Luo Mountain.

The previous spell had severely drained Xiao Tasha. Her face was pale, and she was swaying precariously, unable to even speak.

Chen Huan quickly stepped forward, personally supporting her and showing concern. He then said, "Junior Sister, you'll still need to act personally later, so let Huang Xian carry you for now."

Xiao Tasha looked slightly displeased upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes frequently glancing at Chen Huan. Clearly, she had hoped Chen Huan would carry her instead.

But Chen Huan explained in a low voice that the mountain forest was complex, and as the strongest, he needed to keep a constant watch on the team, making it inconvenient for him to personally care for her... Xiao Tasha reluctantly agreed.

Pei Ling watched this scene, his eyes narrowing slightly. Xiao Tasha seemed very important to this team. This meant that as long as Xiao Tasha hadn't recovered, he would be safe!
