Yuchi, while thinking, immediately agreed to the request from the Immortal Stone. Although it was unclear which sect disciple needed the elixir, he trusted his disciples. As long as it was a legitimate elixir, he would agree directly.

This Nine Lives Peach Blossom, he planned to find a chance to ask the old man about it later, and when the time came, dig this peach blossom tree into the Ascension Gate. If he managed to bring this Nine Lives Peach Blossom over, wouldn't that be a swift takeoff, especially since he promised the beautiful Zong Qianqun to find her a peach blossom tree?

Qin Miaoyu: "Master, let's not say too much to him. I feel there's something off in his eyes."

Yuchi: "..."

This little kid is pretty sharp. Her eyes on people are indeed a bit fierce. Can you even see through my thoughts? Impressive. With a smile, he turned to Sun Miaoxing and said, "This sword looks fine, but after all, it's made of leaves and not as sturdy as one made of ore. So, let me be at a disadvantage a bit. I'll trade you this precious Immortal Sword that I've treasured for years in exchange for it."

Sun Miaoxing: "..."

Qin Miaoyu: "..."

Qi Baiyu: "He's a good person after all."

...

An hour later, as night fell, Sun Miaoxing and Yuchi discussed.

Yuchi suggested acting sooner to ease the situation, especially since Ximen Baojian's Divine Soul was still in the other's hands.

Sun Miaoxing shook his head, saying such matters couldn't be rushed.

He said the evil spirits were quite fierce at night, worrying about an unexpected failure, so he decided to proceed in the daylight.

After a brief discussion, Yuchi agreed to Sun Miaoxing's suggestion. After all, Ximen Baojian's life mattered, and so did theirs. Saving people was okay, but risking their lives wasn't necessary.

At night, Yuchi sat by the fire, roasting heat while facing the mountains and forests, risking sitting in jail for starting a fire in the mountains. The surroundings within the tent were quite bright. Unfortunately, there weren't any cute little rabbits around, otherwise he would have caught one to warm up.

Meanwhile, faint whispers of conversations from the cultivators in the nearby camp reached his ears. Voices murmured from all directions, and occasionally, the sound of someone drunkenly ranting echoed. The entire environment was pleasantly sleepy and comfortable.

Now, the firelight illuminated Yuchi's face, making him feel relatively relaxed.

And of course, in front of him was Qi Baiyu.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Yuchi teased, "Could it be that you're a little scared now and need my company? I'd be honored to accompany you."

"No…"

Qi Baiyu blushed slightly, then said, "I just can't sleep now, simply because I don't know what will happen next. I'm even more worried about any danger you might face down there."

After the conversation, it was certain Qi Baiyu wouldn't go down. She was like a sleeping god; if she accidentally fell asleep again, what would happen? Moreover, going down this time was still quite dangerous. After some discussion, everyone decided that Qi Baiyu should stay above and wait.

As for when to come up, it was uncertain, but even if they couldn't come up, Qi Baiyu wouldn't have any safety concerns.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not in any danger. If it comes to fighting, I'm indeed not good at it, except for spouting off. But if we're talking about escaping, haha, I'm very confident in that! When I realize something's wrong, I'm ready to leave two people behind and run away. I must ensure I'm not in danger," Yuchi said confidently, exuding a sense of certainty.

This… is this something to be proud of? Qi Baiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"So, I still don't know how to address you. I've been thinking about what you said to me earlier today for a while. From what I understand now, you call yourself Yuchi, but you shouldn't really be called Yuchi, right? It sounds like a random name you came up with, considering how casual it sounds."

Yuchi: "???"

Is my name casual? I'm way better than Xiao Yan, Shi Hao, and alike… I'll be a great name in the future. How can it be just a random name… Also, your way of thinking is quite peculiar. After thinking for a long time, is this what you figured out?

With a smile slowly emerging, Yuchi suddenly said, "Have you thought about joining a sect?"

"Joining a sect?" Qi Baiyu shook her head, "No, I came out this time just to relax. The Qi Family still has some foundations, so I don't need to join a sect. Only other disciples join our Qi Family."

"Oh." Yuchi clicked his tongue, "That's a pity. I originally wanted to invite you to become a comrade."

Indeed, when he first met Qi Baiyu, Yuchi had the thought of taking her as a disciple, but as he got to know her more, the thought faded. It seemed she had many things to do, unlike his other disciples who either were single or old devils. Qi Baiyu was truly someone with responsibilities that couldn't easily leave her family.
