A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

Pei Cangli couldn't wait to hug him. She wanted someone to believe her at this moment. While hugging that person, she trembled and said, "It's not me. I didn't do it."

Pei Cangli held the other person tightly, as if that was a ray of light in her life. Once she let go, she would be abandoned by her family and misunderstood by people around her. She didn't want to experience that again.

Si Yunzhou felt Pei Cangli hugging him tightly, and his face instantly turned red, like the clouds in the sky gently stained by the sunset. The scorching temperature quickly spread from the ears to the neck, as if it could ignite the surrounding air.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, beating violently in his chest like a drum, and every beat made him feel a little overwhelmed. His breathing also became rapid, and his disordered breath revealed his inner panic.

Not knowing where to put his hands, he trembled slightly by his side. After hearing Pei Cangli sob and say "It's not me, I didn't do that", Si Yunzhou patted her back gently and said softly, "Cangli, I believe you, I know it's not you."

Hearing this familiar voice, Pei Cangli quickly raised her head, only to find that she had come out of the illusion and she was hugging Si Yunzhou tightly. She quickly let go of her hand, too embarrassed to look at Si Yunzhou, saying "I'm sorry, I... I... I..."

"Sister, you are awake now. Was it you who set up the magic circle?"

Hongyu's shout temporarily rescued Pei Cangli, and Pei Cangli turned around and walked towards Hongyu.

Si Yunzhou looked at Pei Cangli's back, which was trying to hide herself. Suddenly, Pei Cangli looked towards him. Si Yunzhou's eyes were evasive, not daring to look her in the eye, but he couldn't help but secretly peek at her out of the corner of his eye.

Si Yunzhou pursed his lips slightly, trying hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were unconsciously rising. Fortunately, he woke up early this time, but he didn't know why Cangli was so sad.

Cang Cang said in disbelief, "Master, there is a new reward. What are you doing in the illusion? The last sudden reward was when Hong Yu joined our big family."

Pei Cangli recalled why she came out of the illusion. It was probably because of her repeated experiences that she no longer expected her family's trust, nor did she expect others to save her and take her away.

Because true salvation always depends on oneself.

The two times she suddenly received rewards were actually related to the system's main task, which was to survive in this world and find the value and meaning of her existence. Both times she changed her mindset, no longer having expectations of her family, and began to rely on herself.

So this is my fate after traveling through time and space and living again!

Pei Cangli shook his head, not wanting to think about what happened before. He decided to adjust his mood as quickly as possible and deal with the situation at hand.

"Cang Cang, what is the reward this time?"

"This is a rare good thing, the clone puppet technique. You can create a clone puppet based on anything around you, and track others, monitor the enemy, and find out the enemy's situation. When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can even create a clone puppet to replace you."

"Cang Cang, can anyone practice this technique?"

"As long as you have spiritual energy reserves, it's fine. But Master, I suggest you don't let others practice. If too many people know about it, it won't be that effective later."

"I don't want others to practice, I want you guys to practice. Hongyu can practice from now on. After you two have cultivated the physical body, you should also hurry up."

Pei Cangli was originally in a low mood, but after Cang Cang's introduction, he suddenly felt better.

When everyone came out of the illusion, they looked at the desert phantom butterflies outside the formation and felt a headache for a moment. Once they came out of the formation, they would be forced to enter the illusion. Inside the formation, the desert phantom butterflies could not attack them unless they got close.

Pei Cangli wished he could learn the clone puppet technique now, but unfortunately he didn't have time to practice it.

Jin Yuhan suddenly said, "I have a plan. It just requires one person to act as bait. This person will first take a poison-proof pill. Of course, it cannot completely resist the illusion, but it can only delay the time. Then, after attracting the desert illusion butterflies together, we can quickly trap them with the formation."

After hearing what he said, the others all thought it was feasible. Now it all depends on who will be the bait. Pei Cangli took out the anti-poison pill and said, "I have the anti-poison pill and I also know the formation. I can quickly trap the Desert Illusion Butterfly. Let me go."

"No, you can't go." Si Yunzhou and Lin Yi said together.

Especially when Pei Cangli turned around to look at him, Si Yunzhou turned his face away and did not dare to look at Pei Cangli.

As soon as Pei Cangli saw Si Yunzhou's expression, he knew that he had been misunderstood when he hugged him just now. Such an innocent look of a man made Pei Cangli want to laugh. Are people who practice Taoism so old-fashioned?

Then weren't those dual cultivation methods invented by them? Pei Cangli really wronged the cultivation world. Apart from evil cultivators, who would practice dual cultivation to improve their cultivation? They all cultivated step by step.

Pei Cangli looked at them and said, "If you don't agree with me going, who will go?"

Si Yunzhou and Lin Yi both rushed to go out, but in the end Jin Yuhan said that Si Yunzhou knew the formation and had the wind spirit root and was fast, so he let Si Yunzhou go, and the quarrel between the two stopped.

Lin Yi keenly felt that something was wrong with Si Yunzhou since he came out of the illusion. He had been avoiding Pei Cangli's gaze, and when Pei Cangli wasn't looking at him, he secretly stared at Pei Cangli. Before, he was still normal and open-minded.

While Si Yunzhou was out setting up the formation, Lin Yi pulled Ji Feng aside and tried to get some words out of him. Unfortunately, except for Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou, everyone else was still in the illusion and knew nothing.

Zi Mei and Cang Cang did see it, but unfortunately they had no way to tell Lin Yi. To be honest, the three of them had different attitudes towards the two of them. Cang Cang had always felt that Si Yunzhou would be the right match for his master, while Zi Mei and Hong Yu felt that Lin Yi was the one worthy of entrusting their lives to.

Fortunately, Pei Cangli didn't know what the three of them were thinking, otherwise she would be so angry. They hadn't even started dating yet, and they were already in love? They even split into two camps. She was really grateful to them.

Si Yunzhou was indeed a top-grade wind spiritual root. He quickly trapped the desert phantom butterflies outside in the formation. The rest of them also walked out. Pei Cangli collected the defensive formation and threw it into the space, allowing Cang Cang to continue his research.

Jin Yuhan suggested, "Since the Desert Illusion Butterfly is trapped, why don't we first look around to see where the treasures are?"

After that, everyone started searching around, each person in one direction. Si Yunzhou and Pei Cangli were next to each other. Pei Cangli originally wanted to take this opportunity to explain to Si Yunzhou that at that time he thought he was still in a fantasy, so he hugged him.

But as soon as Pei Cangli raised his head to look at Si Yunzhou, Si Yunzhou immediately turned away with a red face and went in another direction.

Pei Cangli had something unpleasant to say in her heart. She was obviously the woman, so why did she act like she had done something?
