Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 803 - 53: Qing Pu’s Warning

"You don’t have to give up the chance to inherit the Beast God Divine Power because of me," Yue Jinghua said, feeling a headache as she looked at the members of the July Team following her back to the temporary shelter.

She wasn’t concerned about not being selected for the Holy Beast Team herself, but it was completely unexpected that the members of the July Team would unanimously choose to join the hopeless Four Unlikes Squad.

City Lord Changsun was also caught off guard by this scene. However, due to the strong request of the July Team, he had no choice, as both the Xuyang Trial and entering the Divine Ruins were based on voluntary participation.

After the selection, the July Team went from being the darkest horse of this year to becoming the biggest joke, falling from the dark horse to a useless team where no member could join the Holy Beast Team.

"I don’t want to be in a team with Hu Li, nor with the annoying Ye Yan Yu. What kind of Holy Beast Star Sparrow has such poor judgment in choosing people," Shalman pouted. She would rather stay with Yue Jinghua as support personnel. Besides, City Lord Changsun also mentioned helping to breed Dark Beasts for the team, which suited her role as a Cultivator well.

"I only take orders from my master," Qian Luo said. Coming from the Bilun Continent, she inherently distrusted Dark Practitioners living on the Canglong Continent. She stayed by Yue Jinghua’s side only to wait for her to grow into a great Summoner who could save her sister. As for the Heavenly Witch Pill or the Holy Beast Divine Power, she was indifferent.

"Too many women," Qin Dongting thought of the Sparrow Team, which was seventy percent women, and Hu Li’s occasional flirtatious glances, making him feel uncomfortable.

"I only have one captain," Feng Buhui smiled. As the elder brother of the team, it was his duty to watch over the young and reckless members, as well as his sometimes overly passionate captain. Besides, he wouldn’t obey anyone else’s orders other than Yue Jinghua’s.

"You all saw who the captain of the Martial Arts Team is, right? Fa Xiaoyi, with his overwhelming Evil Qi. Our squad has a personal grudge with him. If I were under his command, who knows if I’d make it back alive to see you all," Luo Pan recalled the Dark Knights with indistinct faces and the ominous Yin Sha surrounding them, feeling goosebumps all over.

"Enough, all of you," Yue Jinghua sighed helplessly. She knew the team members found excuses, but their ultimate goal was to ensure she wouldn’t be alone as a captain.

Being a captain, yet letting team members worry, gave Yue Jinghua a bittersweet feeling and warmth in her heart.

"This time, it’s my fault for dragging everyone down," Yue Jinghua sighed, feeling warmth in her heart.

After the members of the July Team left, Yue Jinghua called out Qing Pu with a cold expression.

"A reason, you owe me a reason. Why did you conceal my aura and turn me into a laughingstock?" The Four Great Holy Beasts had a special method of selecting team members, but when Yue Jinghua approached them, Qing Pu concealed her aura.

Qing Pu, an experienced Summoner, could easily conceal an aura even when facing the Four Great Holy Beasts.

To the Four Spiritual Holy Beasts, Yue Jinghua seemed no different from air, so naturally, they wouldn’t choose her. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Yue Jinghua didn’t understand Qing Pu’s intention and couldn’t react on the spot, so she held back her questions until she returned to ask the reasons.

"Because I don’t want you entering the Divine Ruins, nor your few teammates. Their choice to withdraw actually ensures their survival," Qing Pu’s face was as if covered with a layer of frost, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, with an uncertain expression. "You will die there."

"What is the Divine Ruins really like? If it’s really so dangerous, why didn’t City Lord Changsun say so directly?" Yue Jinghua was startled upon hearing this. If the Divine Ruins were so perilous, then the other teams... big brother, Junior Minister Zong, and Long Rui, wouldn’t they be seeking their doom?

"The Divine Ruins is a place even gods cannot enter smoothly. Water is scarce, more barren than a desert, with no seasons—only winter and summer. The terrain is rugged, with no complete plains, only numerous ravines. Daytime heats like a volcano, while night chills like the polar regions. During the twelve-hour day, only four hours around sunrise and sunset allow normal activity. Even Dark Practitioners find the energy expenditure in such an environment daunting. That so-called City Lord, focused on retrieving the Heavenly Witch Pill, cares nothing for these newcomers’ lives. However, you need not worry too much. Your brother has the Sun Dragon Clan’s bloodline to protect him. In true danger, he has ways to escape. As for the others, do you think they have shown their full strength?" Qing Pu sneered. These so-called Holy Beasts, claiming to safeguard the Plane’s safety, left no stone unturned in battle, yet shrank back like turtles at times of danger inside the city.

"How do you know these things? Qing Pu, have you been to Four Symbols City?" Yue Jinghua demanded warily. If the Divine Ruins were barren and difficult to access, why did Qing Pu speak with such familiarity?

"No one knows Four Symbols City better than I do. It’s pointless to say more. It’s better for you and your teammates to stay put rather than become cannon fodder. Sometimes, prudent retreat is a different kind of victory. Of all the teams, only your Four Unlikes Squad is the least competent. Staying in the city is the safest option. But the peace won’t last long. Even without the Heavenly Witch Pill theft, Four Symbols City will soon change drastically. The alien race’s tentacles have already reached the Star Plane. I want to see how the shameless Divine Clan plans to deal with this mess," a fierce light flashed in Qing Pu’s golden eyes.

Though uneasy about Qing Pu’s words, Yue Jinghua had no other plan for the moment. She could only take things one step at a time, finding ways to inform her brother about the Divine Ruins, and urge him to be exceedingly cautious.

This trip to Four Symbols City by Yue Minzhi carried more responsibility than others. He promised Long Ao to marry Long Rui as one of the top three in the Xuyang Trial. Knowing Yue Minzhi, he would go all out to achieve this goal.

Be it the Divine Ruins or the alien race, if they truly threatened her brother and those she cared about, Yue Jinghua would never sit idle.
