Yan Jue felt a bit dazed by her own thoughts.
She looked up at the sky outside the window.
The group competition should have started by now.
The communication talisman in her sleeve had been vibrating since a moment ago. Yan Jue took it out and infused it with her spiritual consciousness.
Du Ming: "Yan Jue, where are you? We didn't wait for you and have already entered the secret realm."
"You said you would stay up late with the senior sister to work on the puzzle. Did you solve it?"
Du Ming had always trusted Yan Jue, but now she could sense the urgency in her voice.
Yan Jue replied, "I just took a nap; we've already figured out the last clue."
"Wait for us at the Western Snow Mountain."
"Really?!" Du Ming said eagerly, "Okay!"
Yan Jue put away the communication talisman and quietly glanced at the sleeping Qi Xianqing beside her.
Qi Xianqing was usually very alert and would wake at the slightest noise.
Perhaps because she was really exhausted, Qi Xianqing hadn't woken up despite the commotion.
As Yan Jue caused a stir, Qi Xianqing frowned slightly in her sleep, her long lashes trembling as if she were about to wake.
Yan Jue hurriedly covered Qi Xianqing's eyes with her palm and gently patted her back with her other hand.
This was a common method for calming a child, and surprisingly, it worked quite effectively on Qi Xianqing. Her expression soon relaxed, and she fell back asleep.
Looking at Qi Xianqing's peaceful sleeping face, Yan Jue couldn't help but smile slightly.
With a mischievous thought, she leaned down and kissed Qi Xianqing's cheek before quietly standing up and slipping on her shoes to leave.
Although she liked Qi Xianqing and felt sorry for her...
She had a bet with Qi Xianqing; she wouldn't let Qi Xianqing's team be the first to gather all the beans.
Yan Jue gently placed the porridge she had made before sleeping on the table.
This way, Qi Xianqing could eat when she woke up.
...
Yan Jue quickly arrived at the Wulong Plaza.
The Wulong secret realm had already been opened.
There was no one in the plaza; all the participating teams must have already entered.
Holding the communication talisman, she met up with her teammates at the foot of the snow mountain.
As soon as they met, Du Ming rushed over excitedly: "Yan Jue, what's going on? You and the senior sister have been in closed-door training? Training for the puzzle?"
Yan Jue succinctly replied, "Pretty much."
Du Ming's eyes were filled with admiration: "You're both amazing..."
Duan Luxi looked at her with a somewhat shy expression: "It seems that this time, Yan Jue and the senior sister contributed the most to the group competition."
Du Ming grabbed Yan Jue's hand and exclaimed dramatically, "How can we repay you?"
Yan Jue thought of Qi Xianqing's original words and chuckled, "It's fine; let's just have a meal together sometime."
