Mo You turned around and left.

But the once free-spirited Mo You, that broad back, and the reassuring feeling it gave.

At this moment, had turned into dejection, melancholy, and endless loneliness.

"Alas." Qing Lin sighed.

"Brother Mo You is actually a nice person."

"It’s just his sister... alas."

"If not for this, he wouldn’t have disappointed so many fellow academy students."

Qing Lin sighed again, "In fact, Brother Mo You hasn’t been having an easy time lately either."

"His sister was just sent back to Black Cloud Academy, severely injured, with her Cultivation completely crippled, enduring endless torment of flames every day."

"I’ve seen how much pain Brother Mo You has suffered because of this."

"And for this reason, how haggard and exhausted he has become."

"Yet, he still has to prepare for the grand event of the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb."

"If possible..." Qing Lin hesitated for a moment, looking at Xiao Yi.

"No, it’s not possible." Xiao Yi shook his head.

"That senior is one of the seniors I respect the most."

Xiao Yi looked at Qing Lin, "You’ve always been carefree, like me in many ways, not caring about much."

"Mo You wounded you, and you didn’t hold much of a grudge afterward."

"But, what if Mo You had injured the vice-dean?"

"Would she dare?" Qing Lin’s eyes turned cold, and a murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"That’s precisely it." Xiao Yi smiled, "So, there’s no need to mention these things in the future."

"Everyone must take responsibility for what they do."

"Every choice a person makes has its reasons, but also the consequences they must bear."

"Like a Martial Artist, a momentary lapse could lead one onto the path of Evil Dao, joining Evil Cultivators recklessly for power."

"The result is being abandoned and hunted by all Martial Artists on the continent."

"Like Martial Arts, thousands of paths in martial arts, all lead to the end; but taking a wrong step, the path walked is no longer the same."

"Isn’t life the same?" Xiao Yi shrugged.

"Alas." Qing Lin sighed again and said no more.

Beside them, Ye Liu smiled, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore."

"Brother Xiao Yi, there’s still about half a day until the opening of the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb."

"Why don’t we enjoy a drink together?"

Xiao Yi smiled, glancing into the distance.

Here, within the Ancient Restriction Group, prohibitions and formations were everywhere.

The Ancient Emperor’s Tomb lies within these prohibition formations.

When the time comes, it will open automatically.

Calculating the time, there’s still about half a day until it opens.

"Enjoy a drink?" Xiao Yi looked at Ye Liu, smiling, "Why not discuss something more romantic?"

"Back in the Wind Saint Territory, you, a lascivious young master, often shared with me your amorous tales..."

Before Xiao Yi could finish his words, Ye Liu quickly waved his hand, "I never said that."

From behind, a chilling gaze suddenly shot over.

Two graceful figures slowly approached.

"Oh, it’s Miss Lianxing and Miss Huo Wu." Xiao Yi smiled.

"Young Master Xiao Yi." Guu Lianxing greeted with a slight bow.

"Please continue, I’m listening."

Guu Lianxing’s piercing gaze glanced at Ye Liu, "Brother Ye, during your travels in recent years, what tales of romance do you have? I’d like to hear them too." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ye Liu’s body trembled, "What do you mean? Brother Xiao Yi is just making things up."

"Making things up?" Guu Lianxing squinted her eyes, "Do you think I don’t understand Young Master Xiao Yi’s nature?"

"If you hadn’t truly said it, would he speak carelessly?"

"Brother Xiao Yi, you better explain." Ye Liu looked at Xiao Yi with pleading eyes.

Xiao Yi shrugged.

Beside him, Gongsun Huowu also revealed a piercing gaze, "Ye Liu, it’s bad enough that you’re indulgent yourself, but why corrupt this little thief too..."

"I..." Ye Liu’s face was full of bitterness.

"Hehe." Xiao Yi laughed, "Miss Lianxing, Miss Huo Wu, I was indeed just joking."

"A few days ago, I talked with my Brother Yi Xiao."

"He also mentioned conversing with you at Dongli Sword Palace."

"He said back then you, Ye Liu, seemed to misunderstand something and even tested him several times thinking he was me."

"Initially, I didn’t take it seriously."

"However," Xiao Yi teasingly smiled, "just now upon my arrival, you were testing me again."

Ye Liu bitterly laughed, "I was merely curious, Brother Xiao Yi, surely you won’t hold a grudge?"

"But your Brother Yi is truly remarkable."

"I made those undetectable tests, yet he still discovered them."

"Truly worthy of being a figure as renowned as Brother Xiao Yi, definitely not an ordinary person."

Ye Liu sincerely said.

Xiao Yi smiled, saying nothing.

Inwardly he mused, isn’t this obvious, considering it’s the same person.

"Little thief, long time no see." At this moment, Gongsun Huowu looked directly at Xiao Yi.

Compared to her usual carefree demeanor, her voice carried some timidity now.

Xiao Yi smiled.

Gongsun Huowu and Guu Lianxing didn’t have slots for this event at the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.

However, they could still come along to witness.

Those with slots could indeed bring a few others into the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb.

But, only those with slots could enter the main event.

Others could only go inside for a glimpse, perhaps finding some opportunity.

"Are you Xiao Yi?" At this moment, a familiar voice came again.

"Ran Qi?" Xiao Yi slightly frowned and pursed his lips.

He already guessed what Ran Qi would say next.

Sure enough, as soon as Ran Qi came before him, he stood with arms folded, proudly saying, "You’re the twin as famous as Yi Xiao?"

"Hmph." Ran Qi snorted coldly, wanting to say something.

Xiao Yi had prepared, directly interrupting, "Ran Qi? Are you Ran Qi from Heavenly Spear Mansion?"

"I know you, my Brother Yi also spoke to me about you."

"Oh?" The words Ran Qi originally wanted to say swallowed instantly, replaced by, "What did he say?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "He said your strength’s not bad."

"However, until you defeat him, you’re unqualified to challenge me."

"Hmm? That Purple Flame Yi Xiao, indeed arrogant." Ran Qi’s face turned cold, "Fine, I’ll defeat him, then come to challenge you."

Having said that, Ran Qi spoke no more.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

This Ran Qi is a battle maniac.

Best not to provoke, if provoked, be ready for endless challenges.

Fortunately, as Yi Xiao, his identity remained elusive, making it difficult for this guy to find him.

Whether it was Ran Qi, or Guu Lianxing, Gongsun Huowu and others, they were already here.

However, earlier they were clearly beside their faction’s elders, presumably receiving instructions, hence arriving now.

Xiao Yi surveyed the surroundings.

Forces gathered here numbered over a hundred.

Apart from the Overlord Forces like the Eighteen Mansions, the rest were at least first-class forces.

On the other side, the Academic Palace’s team also saw the arrival of the Five Great Academy Talents, accompanied by elders.

In half a day, the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb will open.

Everyone is full of anticipation.

...

The third update.
