The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

“…” Shu Wanwan did not answer Dai Yan.

Because she forgot, forgot that she now has a companion she can rely on. Shu Wanwan has been an orphan since childhood, all alone, and has to solve all problems by herself. One person's food feeds the whole family. Even after she and Old Man Shu returned to Qingfeng Temple and had a master and fellow apprentices, she still didn't have the habit of relying on others except Old Man Shu. However, if others needed her help, she would usually help them. Perhaps this is the loneliness that comes from the heart.

Seeing Shu Wanwan remained silent, Dai Yan stopped questioning. She turned around and surveyed her surroundings, her gaze settling on the dull stone at Bai Xuan's feet. With a slight lift of her hand, the stone, as if lifted by an invisible force, soared from the ground and swiftly flew into Dai Yan's hands.

Dai Yan carefully held the stone in her palm, examining every detail of the stone, feeling its texture and veins. Her eyes were focused and serious, as if she wanted to see deeper than this ordinary stone.

"Another secret technique of the Yuchi tribe?" Dai Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the stone in her hand, carefully looked at the intricate runes on the stone, and whispered softly.

"Dai Yan, do you know him?" Shu Wanwan saw Dai Yan like this and remembered that Dai Yan seemed to know something about this rune. Perhaps this was the key to unlocking the entrance to the cave.

"Well, let me try," Dai Yan said softly. She tossed the silk fan in her hand toward the cave entrance, as if tossing a stone, her movements casual. The silk fan danced lightly in the air, like a fluttering butterfly, slowly flying towards the cave entrance. The fan handle was like a sharp sword blade, flashing with a cold light, and it struck directly at the mysterious black air at the cave entrance.

The moment the fan handle came into contact with the black air, a slight impact sound was heard.

Just when everyone thought the fan had vanished without a trace, a miracle occurred. The previously indestructible black energy began to tremble slightly, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples. Then, the black energy gradually dissipated, but it soon reappeared.

With a "click", the silk fan fell to the ground.

Dai Yan frowned slightly and chanted a complicated spell. The silk fan that fell to the ground flew up again and flew towards the black barrier at the entrance of the cave with much greater force. The moment the fan touched the black barrier, it stopped in the air as if time had frozen. After a few seconds, the fan turned around and flew towards Dai Yan like a sharp sword.

"You're such a rebel! You dare to hit me?" Dai Yan watched her silk fan fly towards her, a hint of anger on her charming face. She raised her right hand slightly and swung it vigorously. A roll of red silk flew out from her sleeve, like a nimble red snake, instantly wrapping around the silk fan. The fan seemed to have lost all life, and could only allow the red silk to pull it around in two circles in the air. Then, the fan flew out again like an arrow from a bow, hitting the black barrier at the entrance of the cave.

At this moment, the red silk tightly wrapped around the silk fan, the two becoming one, engaging in a fierce stalemate with the surging black energy. For a moment, neither side yielded, and it was difficult to determine the winner. However, at this moment, the seemingly indestructible black barrier suddenly seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and it suddenly dispersed, dissolving into a cloud of black mist. The black energy then quickly coiled around the silk fan, like a monster with bared fangs and claws, attempting to devour the fan.

Shu Wanwan swiftly swung her sword, severing the red silk wrapped around the silk fan and preventing the black energy from entwining it. Simultaneously, she quickly mobilized her spiritual energy, condensing it into a dazzling beam of light, which she then accurately illuminated as the silk fan was about to fall to the ground.

Instantly, the light blazed like the sun, and the black energy on the silk fan seemed to have met its nemesis, instantly dissipating without a trace. A moment later, the silk fan returned to its original state and flew back into Dai Yan's hands.

"Don't force it." Shu Wanwan stopped Dai Yan's action, she was afraid that Dai Yan would continue to force it. Looking at the situation, if she continued to force it like this, she might be attacked by the black energy.

"Wanwan, do you still remember? According to what Lin Zhengshan said, use the formation to break the formation." Bai Xuan suddenly remembered what Lin Zhengshan described and reminded Shu Wanwan.

"Breaking the formation with a formation..." Shu Wanwan frowned, as if thinking about the method of breaking the formation described by Lin Zhengshan in her memory.

Not long after, Shu Wanwan didn't want to delay any longer, so she sat cross-legged on the ground, ready to try the formation of "breaking the formation with a formation" that she had seen in ancient books.

"You should move away. I'm not sure if it will succeed. If it backfires, it might hurt you." Shu Wanwan sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Dai Yan and Bai Xuan with a serious face. She knew that this attempt was very dangerous, but she was willing to take the risk to get to the truth.

"Yeah." Dai Yan nodded, and without hesitation, she pulled Bai Xuan's arm and moved to the side to make room for Shu Wanwan.

Shu Wanwan took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and began to mobilize the spiritual energy in her body. She focused all her attention on the stone formation in front of her, trying to use her spiritual power to re-energize the stone formation.

As time went by, sweat began to form on Shu Wanwan's forehead, and her face grew pale. But she gritted her teeth and persevered, using almost all of her spiritual energy. Suddenly, the dull stones lying on the ground began to emit faint blue light, one by one. The scene was extremely strange.

Shu Wanwan was delighted, thinking she had succeeded. However, at this moment, a powerful force surged out from the stone formation and rushed directly towards her body. Before she could react, she was knocked away by this force and hit the ground heavily.

Dai Yan and Bai Xuan were horrified when they saw this. They rushed over and helped Shu Wanwan up. She was pale, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. Clearly, she was injured.

"Wanwan, how are you?" Dai Yan asked anxiously.

"It's okay." Shu Wanwan shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Shu Wanwan couldn't understand it. She had been in seclusion for a whole day and had even used the power of the Phoenix Feather Arrow to increase her spiritual power. Could it be that even after recovering so much spiritual power, she still couldn't break through the black air barrier at the entrance of the cave?

Bai Xuan hurriedly pulled Shu Wanwan over and placed his hand against hers. Their hands met, and they clasped their hands together. A faint green light spread between their palms. Shu Wanwan felt much better immediately; she could feel Bai Xuan treating her.
