Qiao Ranran: "..." What had happened while she was cultivating that she didn't know about?

Since Pei Ling was avoiding the subject, Qiao Ranran let it go and changed the topic. "Junior Brother Pei, what's happening outside? How much longer do we have to stay here?"

Not a sound reached them from outside. Pei Ling's handiwork had cut this place off into a world of its own, but Qiao Ranran figured that since he had done it, he must have some way to tell what was happening beyond it.

Wei Huai guessed that his master was dealing with trouble outside. If his master wouldn't let him out, the trouble was probably serious. Most likely, his master was fighting the Demon Beast. If even someone as powerful as his master had been held up for this long, that showed how formidable the beast was. Had Wei Huai run into it again, he would probably be dead by now.

Pei Ling could indeed sense movement outside, but he wouldn't underestimate that Demon Beast and risk their safety. He had laid the Formation with great care, which also meant his sense of the outside world wasn't especially clear.

Pei Ling was surprised that the Communication Jade Token in Wei Huai's hand could reach the outside world.

Pei Ling had heard of the Cloudflower Sect. It was, of course, one of the sects that had become fodder for his Ten Thousand Bones Soul-Revival Formation. He also remembered that Cloudflower Sect cultivators had been among those who wanted to make a move against the Pei Family.

He had little interest in who those people were, but he truly hadn't heard Wei Huai's name afterward. If Qiao Ranran hadn't insisted on intervening today, Wei Huai likely wouldn't have survived until help arrived from the Cloudflower Sect.
