When the sky was just turning green, someone came to knock on the door.

The sound of banging on the door woke up the entire inn. People on both sides of the corridor opened their doors a little, revealing a pair of eyes to see what was happening.

Yan Chuhua opened the door and saw a beautiful woman in a red dress with black sleeves and a black belt around her slender waist.

She wore black boots and had a high ponytail. She was beautiful, and her behavior and tone showed that she had a bold personality.

"Lin Xuxi, come out!"

The woman continued to knock on the door, completely ignoring the eyes of others, each knock getting louder and louder, and she shouted: "If you don't come out, you won't have such a good ending when I beat you in!"

Yan Chuhua didn't know when his master's wife had offended this person, and he felt unhappy. Why did his master's wife come out and cause trouble for him?

"Shu Jing."

Lin Xuxi opened the door, and the hand that knocked on it almost hit her face. She subconsciously turned her face away and said with a smile: "With this slap, the friendship between us that we shared life and death has been broken."

"Stingy." Shu Jing snorted. She was slightly taller than Lin Xuxi and leaned forward slightly. "You've become quite beautiful over the years, but your tongue is still as sharp as ever."

"Each each other."

Lin Xuxi smiled and let Shu Jing in. The two of them went inside to talk so as not to disturb others.

Yan Chuhua actually didn't know Lin Xuxi before.

He was young, and after entering Xuanyu Sect, he knew that Lin Xuxi had never left Fushan, and never talked about the past. He seemed to tacitly assume that Lin Xuxi was just a spiritual herb growing in Xuanyu Sect.

There is no need for a past and no future. We just need to help them do what a tool should do. Moreover, not only he thinks so, but the whole Fushan thinks so.

People don't appreciate tools.

Therefore, Yan Chuhua was surprised to see his master's wife had a friend today. The impression in his memory had loosened somewhat, as if Lin Xuxi had slowly transformed from a handy tool into a person.

"Hey."

As soon as she entered the room, Shu Jing, taking advantage of her height, placed her hands on her friend's shoulders. She looked left and right, carefully scrutinizing her before she breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "You haven't changed at all over these years."

"Didn't you say you're more beautiful than before?" Lin Xuxi invited everyone to sit down and joked, "Your words don't match up. You must have been lying to me."

"I won't lie to you." Shu Jing slid down to the bench, took her friend's hand, and sat down beside her. She sighed, "It's been fifty years since we last met. You've become a little more relaxed and resilient. What happened?"

As expected, only her close friends could see the change in her mood.

"Yeah, some trivial matters. But now I've let it go." Lin Xuxi nodded and sighed, "It's truly God's blessing that we can meet again."

This was strange, so Shu Jing asked, "Why are you suddenly talking about heaven's blessing?"

"Nothing." Lin Xuxi didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she changed the subject and asked, "Why are you here? Do you have any news about this secret realm?"

"This is a newly opened secret realm, and I don't know what's inside. You know, there haven't been any new secret realms opened in the world of immortal cultivation for hundreds of years. I came here this time to see what good things there are. But no one has ever been in there, so I sent a letter to Master Yin, inviting him to come along. I never thought you'd come too."

After saying that, Shu Jing pretended to be angry and snorted, "This secret realm opened too late. If it had opened a few years earlier, I could have seen you a few years earlier."

"If it had opened a few years earlier, I might not have been able to come to terms with it." Lin Xuxi murmured to himself.

"What did you say?"

The voice was so quiet that she didn't hear it. Shu Jing leaned over and asked, "What do you mean by open-minded?"

Lin Xuxi: "Nothing."

"By the way, come with me!"

When Lin Xuxi opened the door, she saw Yan Chuhua, who had been eavesdropping on the door.

"Who is so rude?"

She raised her hand and wanted to slap him, but Shu Jing took a closer look and saw that it was a junior, with the mark of Xuanyu Sect on his body, and he was also a talisman cultivator.

"Your disciple?" Shu Jing withdrew her spiritual power and asked.

“Yes, I…”

Lin Xuxi denied it before Yan Chuhua could, "No." She no longer had any so-called disciples, and those people were not worthy.

Yan Chuhua was shocked and looked at Lin Xuxi in disbelief. Then he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes, not my apprentice."

If you don't want to recognize me, I don't want to recognize you either.

Do you really think you are so popular that everyone wants to be your apprentice?

"Not a disciple." After learning that it wasn't a disciple, Shu Jing's attitude changed. Without even a glance, she pulled her friend away and explained, "I found something and wanted to take you to see it."

"Ah."

Yan Chuhua didn't want to follow, but his master had to order him to stay close to him.

After much deliberation, he decided to follow the two of them, just to relax and see what they were going to do.

As Lin Xuxi was leaving, she glanced back and saw Yan Chuhua was planning to follow her. Never mind, she'd just follow him and pretend she hadn't noticed.

Both of them are in the Nascent Soul stage, so it’s a piece of cake for Yufeng.

Yan Chuhua Yufeng, who was only in the early stage of the Golden Core stage, had a very difficult time and could only barely keep up. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared, so he had to go look for them.

Lin Xuxi was brought to a dense forest in front of the entrance to the secret realm, but she didn't know what had broken open a path that kept winding forward.

"Xi'er, do you remember the centipede we fought together?"

"remember."

Lin Xuxi squatted down, examining the weeds that were bent or even crushed, and murmured, "It seems like something has crawled over and is pressing the flowers and plants all over the place."

Moreover, this trace is at least six or seven meters wide.

Lin Xuxi pulled off a leaf and sniffed it, smelling a strange fragrance. She stood up, handed the leaf to the person next to her, and asked, "Smell it, does it look familiar?"

"Hmm, there's an indescribable smell." Shu Jing is a medicine practitioner after all, and is more sensitive to smells. She closed her eyes and smelled it carefully.

Lin Xuxi raised her head and looked along the trail, puzzled. "What on earth is that?"

"Centipede!"

After sniffing the scent carefully, Shu Jing finally remembered the origin of the smell. She slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "It's the centipede. Do you remember? We smelled the same smell when we were tracking it back then."

"I remember now." Lin Xuxi's face was troubled as the memory was brought back. He sighed, "You said that the centipede monster we had back then was only five or six feet long. Now look at the marks it left, it's at least ten feet long."

"Oh my God, what should we do?" Shu Jing patted her head, remembering how they almost died when they teamed up to fight the centipede. "Why don't we pack up and leave and go back?"

"Are you going back to Gao Village?"

Lin Xuxi stood up and patted the grass debris from his hands. He looked Shu Jing up and down and couldn't help laughing: "Why, we were both in the late Jindan stage and we weren't afraid back then, but now that we're in the late Yuanying stage, we're afraid?"

"Yes, we are already in the Nascent Soul stage!"

Speaking of her current cultivation level, Shu Jing was even more confident. She put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows complacently, saying, "I'm also in the Nascent Soul stage now. Let's see who's afraid of whom!"
