Yaoguang Fairy Path

However, just as they were overjoyed at finding an exit, Long Wu Ji was awakened by the violent noise. He slowly opened his eyes, and his dark red eyes cast a sharp look at them.

When Baili Lingfeng, Helian Yun and Mo Feibai met those eyes, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, as if they were being locked onto by a ferocious beast.

The three of them immediately activated their spiritual power, ready to take action at any time to deal with possible dangers. However, Ye Shuyao didn't seem that scared.

She had been staring into those eyes in the illusion for five years and seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of oppression. She took a deep breath and remained calm.

Long Wu Ji slowly stood up, his dark red eyes flashing dangerously in the dim secret room. He slowly glanced at the four people, as if he wanted to see through them one by one.

Baili Lingfeng and the other two nervously gripped their magic weapons, ready to deal with his attack at any time.

However, the situation did not develop as expected. Unexpectedly, Long Wu Ji did not launch an attack immediately, but fell into deep thought, as if weighing something.

His gaze lingered on Ye Shuyao for a long time, his eyes were deep and complex, as if he could see through her heart.

Finally, he spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "You, stay." Then, he added lightly: "They can leave."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Ye Shuyao's mind.

She subconsciously clenched her fists, a strong sense of unwillingness welling up in her heart: "Why? Why can they leave but not me?"

Baili Lingfeng, Helian Yun and Mo Feibai were also shocked. They didn't expect Long Wuji to make such a request so blatantly.

They looked at each other, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in their eyes.

However, Long Wuji didn't seem to care about their reactions. He turned and walked towards the high seat, each step he took was firm and powerful. His voice rang out again, with unquestionable majesty: "Don't want to? Then stay together!"

Ye Shuyao's voice seemed to be stuck. She opened her mouth, but found that she could not utter a complete sentence.

Her heart was filled with doubts and resentment. Why was she the only one left behind? She was unwilling to accept this, and she was even more unwilling to let Baili Lingfeng and the others stay because of her.

However, facing Long Wuji's strength, she seemed to have no choice. She bit her lower lip tightly, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

She knew that she had to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise she and Baili Lingfeng would be in danger.

Ye Shuyao's mind was racing with thoughts. Just as she was about to turn around and speak, she unexpectedly heard the three people behind her reject her in unison: "No!"

Helian Yun's expression was particularly serious. He said in a deep voice: "Junior Sister Ye, if you stay, how are we going to explain to the Immortal Lord when we go back?" His voice revealed his concern for Ye Shuyao's safety. The head master also asked me to take good care of you. I can't let you take risks alone.

Mo Feibai tightly grasped the sword in his hand, took a step forward, and said in a firm and unnegotiable tone: "Let's go together!" His eyes were firm, as if he was ready to stand up for Ye Shuyao at any time.

Baili Lingfeng stood quietly aside, his eyes lowered, as if thinking about something. Where no one could see, a deep affection flashed in his eyes.

He didn't say anything, but he expressed his trust and support for Ye Shuyao with his actions. He believed in her. This was the tacit understanding they had developed after getting along with each other after coming here.
