The little fox flicked its tail, pretending not to understand.
Behind Yanzhao, Lei Shuang, Feng Jin, and Zhang Ying all had complicated expressions.
Feng Jin broke the silence first, "Senior Sister has probably already gone back."
Yanzhao frowned. "But she said she'd meet us here."
Lei Shuang spoke up, "Hasn't she already come back?"
Yanzhao tilted her head, "Huh? Where?"
"She's..." Lei Shuang started, but was cut off when Zhang Ying stomped on her foot, causing her to wince in pain and leaving her speechless.
Zhang Ying, keeping her expression neutral, continued, "Miss Ren did come back. I saw her just now, but she said she had urgent matters and had to leave right away."
"Really?" Yanzhao seemed uncertain.
"Yes, that's right," Zhang Ying lied without hesitation, "You can ask her next time you see her to confirm it yourself."
Yanzhao, now convinced, replied, "I guess that makes sense."
Feng Jin: "..."
Even though Zhang Ying's explanation was full of holes, why did Yanzhao believe her so easily?
Meanwhile, Lei Shuang was hopping around in pain like a grasshopper. After a moment, she managed to recover and glared at Zhang Ying, "What was that for?"
Zhang Ying gave her a sidelong glance.
Lei Shuang looked at the little fox in Yanzhao's arms and sent a message to Zhang Ying, "Why didn't you just tell the truth?"
Zhang Ying shot back, "Miss Ren didn't want to say anything. Why make things awkward?"
Lei Shuang sighed, recognizing defeat.
She turned to Feng Jin and said, "We've got the Divine Scroll of Yantian now. Let's take a look. We should be able to use this treasure to leave directly."
Feng Jin opened the dark-gold scroll, bit her finger, and drew symbols on the Divine Scroll, writing the words "Tai Xu Immortal Realm."
She closed her eyes to focus, summoning the image of their destination in her mind.
Golden light radiated from the scroll, creating ripples in the air and enveloping everything within a three-meter radius.
The light flickered, and their surroundings darkened before brightening again.
They were back in the Tai Xu Immortal Realm.
Feng Jin immediately checked the scroll. The characters she had written earlier had vanished.
"It's definitely the Divine Scroll of Yantian!" Lei Shuang confirmed, her face lighting up with joy. She clapped her hands, "We've really accomplished something big this time!"
Zhang Ying, less enthused, said, "The Immortal Market is up ahead. It's late. Let's find an inn to stay at for the night."
She had been hit by the serpent's tail earlier and felt like her bones were falling apart. Her clothes were torn in several places, and she had multiple burns. All she wanted was a place to rest and sleep.
Feng Jin and Lei Shuang agreed.
As they were about to leave, Yanzhao grabbed Lei Shuang's sleeve.
Lei Shuang stopped and looked back, "What is it?"
Yanzhao: "Take me to see Nangong Yin."
Lei Shuang was speechless. "Do you even know what time it is? You might not be afraid to die, but I want to live. Let Feng Jin take you tomorrow."
