Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 43: Suddenly Popular ⚡

Ye Wenxin felt a bit helpless but chose not to resist as they continued forward, soon reaching the meeting spot.

"Miss Wenxin, you're back."

Gu Aotian and Fatty  had been waiting for some time and sighed in relief upon seeing them. Without further explanation, Ye Wenxin noted the late hour and suggested, "Let's head up quickly; it's not safe to linger."

The others nodded in agreement and continued their ascent. Aside from encountering a single beast, the journey was relatively smooth.

The Cangyu Sect's outer disciples still stood guard, merely glancing at them before paying no further attention.

"Xiangsi, I’ll leave you in charge. Fatty and I will head over to the boys' dormitory to rest."

The group split at the entrance, each heading to their respective dormitories.

After escorting Gu Xiangsi to her destination, Ye Wenxin intended to return but was forcibly pulled back by Gu Xiangsi, who insisted on sharing a bed. That night, Ye Wenxin almost suffocated from Gu Xiangsi's embrace.

She suddenly found herself missing Ling Jue, who was so gentle and well-behaved while sleeping. Sharing a bed with Gu Xiangsi was a true test of endurance.

"Sister, I haven't slept so well in ages." Despite Ye Wenxin’s torment throughout the night, Gu Xiangsi was in high spirits, completely forgetting about her first kill yesterday.

Looking into those innocent eyes, Ye Wenxin struggled to articulate her chaotic emotions from the previous night. In the end, she chose to say nothing, allowing Gu Xiangsi to lead her as they all arrived at the gathering spot.

The group lined up neatly, drawing numbers and filling in names, eventually signing a life-and-death agreement.

If anyone were to die during the events, Cangyu Sect wouldn't be held responsible. Seeing this contract, a third of the participants left in fear before the event even began.

Despite this, the number of participants remained high, though only fifty out of a thousand would be accepted this year.

"Alright then, I hereby announce the official start of the recruitment meeting." A handsome man announced as everyone signed the death waivers.

His voice was not loud, but every person present could hear him clearly. As those words were spoken, three men suddenly appeared in the sky, riding on flying swords.

Each man appeared to be in their fifties, exuding an air of otherworldly grace. Ye Wenxin looked closely and recognized them as the three elders from the Law Enforcement Hall.

They managed the sect's discipline, and their presence at such an event seemed a bit overqualified, However, this indicated that Cangyu Sect placed great importance on this recruitment.

Ye Wenxin couldn’t help but scoff, while the others were too excited to speak.

Such celestial beings were the ultimate dream for every cultivator.

"Wow, sword-flying!" exclaimed Gu Xiangsi, who was taller than Ye Wenxin. She leaned against Ye Wenxin's back, The warmth of her body felt like a comforting weight, However, her closeness gave Ye Wenxin no chance to catch her breath.
