A flower that looked utterly ordinary, yet possessed extraordinary effects.

Ning Rongrong took the Butterfly Attracting Flower Chen Qingling handed her and examined it from every angle. "This is the flower that can make soul beasts sacrifice themselves willingly?"

"It doesn't look like it at all..."

And she was right—it really didn't.

The Butterfly Attracting Flower had only one function: attracting butterfly-type soul beasts. It had nothing to do with sacrifices.

The reason they had sacrificed themselves to Chen Qingling was because of the special nature of her martial soul.

The Butterfly King!

The Butterfly God!

Chen Xin likewise could not make sense of it. All he could say was that Qingling's father had far too many methods, so many that he could not comprehend them.

"Qingling, take it back."

"I don't want it. This flower is a gift for you. If you don't want it, then throw it away." Chen Qingling pursed her lips. She refused to believe Rongrong would really toss it away.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong gave a bitter smile and helplessly accepted it.

"Qingling, you did that on purpose!"

"Hehehe, I just accidentally did it on purpose. What are you going to do about it?"

Watching the two girls laugh and play, Chen Xin felt both body and mind relax.

How nice.

Ever since Qingling had left, Chen Xin had rarely seen Rongrong laugh this happily in a single day.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, stood off to the side, looking entirely out of place.

At that moment, Chen Xin beckoned Chen Qingling over. "Disciple, come here. I need to speak with you alone."

"Ah? Oh, okay."

Chen Qingling temporarily left Ning Rongrong and the others, following Chen Xin to a spot not far away.

"Master, what did you want to talk to me about privately?"

A trace of concern showed in Chen Xin's eyes as he slowly said, "Disciple, do you know the origins of the friend by your side?"

Chen Qingling's heart jolted. She had gotten so carried away that she had nearly forgotten about this.

"Master, I know Xiao Wu's true identity. She is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

Chen Xin fell silent for a moment. She knew Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet she had still become friends with her.

This...

Was simply shocking.

Truly something one only saw after living a long life!

Chen Xin had never seen anyone become friends with a soul beast before. Chen Qingling was the first.

"Since you know the truth, then I am relieved." Upon learning the full story, Chen Xin immediately stopped pursuing the matter of Xiao Wu.

His disciple had no objections, so naturally, as her master, neither did he.

As for her identity as a soul beast?

If neither of them said anything, who would know Xiao Wu was a soul beast?

"Master... you really don't mind?" Chen Qingling looked directly into Chen Xin's eyes. She knew that the Soul Master World and soul beasts were irreconcilable enemies.

Chen Xin smiled faintly. "Does it still matter whether I mind or not?"

"She is my disciple's friend, so naturally, she is also a friend of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"It's just... if this matter is exposed, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't be able to protect her... sigh."

Chen Qingling gritted her teeth. "I understand. If that day ever comes, Master, you don't need to force yourself."

The only way to avoid exposing Xiao Wu's true identity was to wait until she reached Rank 60.

But Rank 60 was far too distant, with no end in sight.

Worry rose in Chen Qingling's heart. If only there were something that could conceal the aura of a soul beast.

Ding! Detected that the cultivation target Chen Qingling is troubled over Xiao Wu's identity being exposed. Would you like to spend 1,000 Points to exchange for the Immortal Herb Lovesick Heartbreak Red?

Chen Shenge frowned. "Her identity being exposed?"

He immediately understood. His daughter must have learned that Xiao Wu was a soul beast and had begun worrying about her safety.

"Exchange 1,000 Points for Lovesick Heartbreak Red?"

Chen Shenge fell silent. If it were for his daughter, he would choose to exchange for it without the slightest hesitation.

But this time, it was for an outsider.

Chen Shenge could not accept that. He was not some saintly fool who would generously give things away for free.

Giving it away for free was impossible. It would never happen in this lifetime.

Therefore, Chen Shenge did not choose to exchange for it. Instead, he connected with his daughter through Mind Communication.

"Daughter, I can't help you with everything, but I can tell you this: there is a treasured place in Sunset Forest called the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well."

"The Ice Fire Yin Yang Well contains countless Immortal Herbs. There happens to be a Lovesick Heartbreak Red there that can conceal a soul beast's aura."

"As long as it does not fall off, Xiao Wu's identity as a soul beast will not be exposed."

Chen Qingling's eyes lit up, and she silently said, Thank you, Father!

Though he had not helped her in any tangible way, he had pointed her in the right direction.

No matter what, Father would always be the most reliable!

"Master, do you know where Sunset Forest is?"

Joy appeared on Chen Xin's face. "Disciple, are you about to break through?"

Chen Qingling shook her head. "No. I wanted to ask whether Master knows of a place called the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest."

"The Ice Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Chen Xin furrowed his brows. He did not remember Sunset Forest having an Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!

Seeing Chen Xin's reaction, Chen Qingling understood that her master did not know. Her spirits immediately fell.

"Sigh, even knowing the place doesn't mean it'll be easy to find. But for Xiao Wu's sake, I have to find it!"

Chen Xin was completely baffled, unable to make heads or tails of it.

"Disciple, what is this about...?"

"Master, Father just told me that if I want to keep Xiao Wu's identity as a soul beast from being exposed, I need to go to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest and find a Lovesick Heartbreak Red. It can conceal a soul beast's aura."

"What?!"

Chen Xin was dumbfounded.

Qingling's father had just told her?

Why had he not sensed anything at all?

Mind Communication?

Wasn't that ability a little too unbelievable?

Chen Xin swallowed, becoming even more curious about Qingling's father.

What kind of Reclusive Expert possessed such incredible abilities?

First Teleporting Items, then Mind Communication.

Every casual move was an ultimate trump card!

"Disciple, you have traveled a great distance to reach the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so rest for one day first."

"Tomorrow, I'll personally take you and Xiao Wu to Sunset Forest."

Chen Qingling's eyes shone, narrowing into crescent moons.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Master treats me the best."

Seeing his disciple acting spoiled, Chen Xin's heart nearly melted.

"Ahem, ahem. I'll explain this matter to the Sect Master and your other master. I'm leaving."

"Take care, Master."

As she watched Chen Xin fly away on his sword, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu finally came over.

In the short while they had been separated, the two girls had unexpectedly become quite familiar with each other.

"You two..."

Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue playfully. "What? Surprised?"

"We're about the same age. How could we fail to become friends?"

Chen Qingling secretly smiled, unable to hide the delight on her face.

She had worried that the two might have an awkward relationship, but it seemed she had overthought things.

"Qingling, I'm going to take Xiao Wu around the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Do you want to come?"

"Let's go together. I haven't explored the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in a long time either."

"I have something to tell you two as we walk."

"Sure."

The three girls held hands as they wandered through the vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

They chatted and laughed all the way, and Chen Qingling told them everything that had just happened.

Chen Qingling had no desire to hide anything from the two friends she trusted so deeply.

Upon learning Xiao Wu's true identity, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in shock, and she cried out repeatedly.

Covering her heaving chest with her small hands, she said, "So Xiao Wu, you really are a rabbit. I never thought I would make such a unique friend."
