The vicious female supporting role in the book cultivation world is crazy and involuntarily

Chang Yulan's undisguised scrutiny fell on her, cutting her inch by inch like a sharp blade.

Lu Zhaozhao's heartbeat quickened, but her expression remained unchanged as she met his scrutinizing gaze. "Commander Changyu, do you have any questions?"

"Nothing much, it's just that I had some connections with the Nüba tribe before, so I think Miss Guannan is really..." He paused deliberately, then emphasized, "Really special."

"Your Excellency is joking. Everyone has their own unique faces." Lu Zhaozhao still looked into his eyes without flinching.

"Maybe." Changyu Languan didn't argue further, but Lu Zhaozhao's palms were already sweating. She wasn't sure if Changyu Languan was just asking on a whim or if he'd already sensed something, so she just had to bite the bullet and go for it. At least for now, she couldn't make any mistakes.

Lu Zhaozhao was a little absent-minded at this time. After Wen Sheng announced the list of qualifiers, she glanced in her direction, just one glance, and her brows furrowed again.

Cheng Sangji was still holding Lu Zhaozhao's hand. Apart from that, Changyu Languan didn't go up to the platform for some reason, but was talking to Lu Zhaozhao instead.

From this angle, Wen Sheng couldn't see Lu Zhaozhao's expression, but he could see that Chang Yulan had a smile on his face, and he looked very comfortable.

He suppressed his reluctance and continued to talk about the information of the third level.

After two days of rest, they gathered in the Ming Palace.

After saying this, he was about to step towards Lu Zhaozhao when a message hit him like lightning.

Wen Sheng waved his hand, and the message containing powerful force stopped and turned into a whisper sounding in his ears.

"The barrier is unstable, return quickly."

Upon hearing the news, Wen Sheng's pupils trembled slightly. He looked in the direction of Lu Zhaozhao, clenched his fists, and finally gritted his teeth and turned to fly in another direction.

Changyu Languan looked in the direction Wen Sheng left, a hint of sneer flashing in his eyes, but when he turned around, his composure had returned. He glanced at Changyu Lanshan, and saw him look at her and then immediately look away. He couldn't help but smile, then turned to look at Cheng Sangjie.

"My foolish brother has been naughty, so please bear with me, Brother Chengsang. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Cheng Sangjie smiled and nodded in agreement.

After Changyu Languan turned around and left, Lu Zhaozhao saw that Cheng Sangjie still didn't move, so she shook her wrist.

Cheng Sangjie was attracted by her action and looked towards her.

"Aren't you going to let me go?" Lu Zhaozhao said unhappily.

Cheng Sangjie let go of his hand embarrassedly.

He had just gripped her tightly, leaving a red mark on Lu Zhaozhao's wrist. Her skin was originally fair, so the red mark was even more glaring.

Seeing this, Cheng Sangjie apologized to her somewhat bewilderedly: "I was too rough just now. I'm sorry."

Lu Zhaozhao shook her head. Now she just wanted to go back early to rest and prepare for the next level, so she didn't insist any more. She said goodbye and left.

After Lu Zhaozhao left, Cheng Sangjie stood there for a while. He spread out his hands, which seemed to still be warm.

Nan Rongrui and Tushan Xixiang walked over and saw Cheng Sangjie standing there with an unpredictable expression on his face.

"Brother?" Nan Rongrui asked tentatively.

Cheng Sangjie withdrew his hand and looked at Nan Rongrui with a serious expression, which scared her and made her shrink her neck.

"Arui, I remember your Guhuo bird tribe's habitat is close to Nüba?"

"Nüba lives in isolation, far from the homes of all other tribes. Although there is some distance between us and them, we are the closest among all the tribes."

Cheng Sangjie understood, and Nan Rongrui curiously asked: "What's wrong, brother? Do you think there is something wrong with Guannan?"

Cheng Sangjie didn't answer her question. He just stroked the peace locket in his sleeve and said in an unquestionable tone, "Send a letter back to your clan immediately. I want all the information about Nüba."

Cheng Sangjie's expression was unusually cold. Nan Rongrui didn't dare to ask any more questions and agreed immediately.

Tushan Xixiang looked at Cheng Sangjie with some confusion. He seemed to have encountered some difficulties and his face was serious. But what Tushan Xixiang didn't know was that his hand holding the peace locket hidden in his sleeve was trembling slightly at this moment.

Lu Zhaozhao didn't know about the changes in Cheng Sangjie after she left. She was worried about another thing at the moment.

The selection of personal guards is a major event, and all demons, young and old, strong and weak, pay close attention to it. The large number of applicants is enough to show it.

But today is the day when the second level ends. The crowd around is rustling. I took a few steps outside and found that the originally bustling streets are now sparsely populated.

Lu Zhaozhao sensed something was wrong. Something big must have happened in the Demon Realm during the days when she entered the second round of competition.

She trotted all the way back to her temporary residence in the demon world. The doors were closed and the noisy quarrels between Shisan Niang and Tu San were no longer heard.

There was deathly silence everywhere.

Lu Zhaozhao slowed down his breathing and took light steps, taking each step extremely cautiously. He expanded his spiritual awareness as much as possible and observed any movement around him.

A very subtle sound was heard, and Lu Zhaozhao immediately became alert. He held his sword in front of him and shouted, "Who!"

no respond.

"boom--"

The sword energy was sharp and rushed straight to the place where the sound came from.

"bump--"

The wooden door was shattered, and clouds of smoke rolled up.

The smoke and fog dissipated, and a graceful figure appeared behind the door, looking at the broken wooden door in astonishment.

"what--"

The scream that pierced the sky made Lu Zhaozhao's eardrums tighten.

Behind the door, Shisanniang looked at the broken wood on the ground with distress, her shrill voice trembling slightly: "My door! My newly installed door! It just... broke like this?"

"...Shisan Niang?" Lu Zhaozhao murmured softly.

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. As soon as she did, Shisan Niang immediately locked onto the culprit who had broken into her house.

She twisted her slender waist and walked forward quickly, and in front of Lu Zhaozhao's astonished eyes, she grabbed his ear.

"It hurts, it hurts, be gentler." Lu Zhaozhao begged for mercy, but was dragged into the inner room by Shisan Niang.

"Hiss..." After being pulled into the inner room, Shisanniang let go of her hand. Lu Zhaozhao rubbed his red ears and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

"You still say that!" Shisanniang raised her eyebrows in anger, "Why did you break down my door for no reason?"

"I asked just now but no one answered, so I thought someone had set an ambush here, so..." Lu Zhaozhao's voice became smaller and smaller, and he looked at Shisan Niang with an innocent attitude.

Although Shisanniang was angry, most of her anger subsided when she saw Guannan. She was not actually angry at all at this moment, she was just pretending to scare her.

Lu Zhaozhao also noticed it, and said to her with a forced smile: "Don't be angry, I just came out of the competition, and my subordinates were not very careful. I apologize here."

Shisanniang descended the stairs, raised her eyebrows and cast a coquettish glance, looking very charming: "I heard that you advanced. You are quite capable, aren't you? But I heard that it is dangerous in there. Did you get hurt?"

"No, I'm fine. It's okay even though you've been holding me all the way." Lu Zhaozhao was trying to please her. Shisanniang giggled and reached out to hook her nose.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Lu Zhaozhao quickly asked, "Did something happen in Minggong City? Why are there no fireworks on the road?"

Shisanniang slapped her forehead, as if waking from a dream: "Oh, yes, I forgot that you just came out and don't know what happened."

Then, she approached Lu Zhaozhao and pursed her lips, a little unhappy: "It's not Minggong City that's in trouble, it's the entire Western Territory."

"We're fighting the people in the east!"
