Since Ying Huaixu had asked for help, Qiu Shiyi naturally agreed.
But he still asked what he needed help with.
Ying Huaixu wore a sinister smile.
"Simple. Xue Si wants to investigate the true abilities of the Divine Firmament Sword Sect's disciples, so we'll let her!"
"She wants to kill our disciples, so we'll let her!"
Qiu Shiyi froze for a moment before catching on.
"You mean we need to make this look real without actually letting any disciples die, so you want me to keep an eye on Xue Si!"
Ying Huaixu nodded. "Exactly!"
Behind them, He Xiuyuan kept pounding on the wall of the water sphere!
"Glug, glug..."
He Xiuyuan pointed at himself as he pounded!
But Ying Huaixu and Qiu Shiyi kept talking.
Qiu Shiyi kept feeling that something was off about Ying Huaixu's approach.
But he couldn't put his finger on what.
It felt like Ying Huaixu was forcing someone into wrongdoing.
She didn't have the conditions to do something bad, so he would create them for her?
That was putting the cart before the horse.
Still, if Xue Si had no intention of doing anything bad, Ying Huaixu's approach couldn't possibly work.
"I can keep an eye on her, but if she really does have a contact, should I intervene?"
Ying Huaixu began to agonize over it again.
According to the game's plot, Xue Si's actions in this incident exposed Ye Ningshuang's absurdly extraordinary aptitude.
That was also why people from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect and other sects wanted to kill Ye Ningshuang later on.
This was Ye Ningshuang's path of growth.
But to Ying Huaixu, those were future quests with staggering amounts of experience.
This side quest was rather crucial.
If this side quest fell apart and the subsequent World Mission couldn't correct itself,
