My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

While testing the barrier according to the various methods mentioned in the mission jade slip, Luo Hanying complained in her mind: "Holy crap! This Bu Rong Mountain is too big!"

The climate on the same mountain can be completely different; one side is experiencing heavy snowfall while the other is pouring rain. It's so annoying to feel all damp!

Ruan Chayan comforted her, saying, "You've worked so hard, my darling~"

Luo Hanying gasped for breath: "Your baby isn't suffering, but has a hard life."

Fortunately, the robes are warm in winter and cool in summer, otherwise my body would be stiff from the alternating hot and cold temperatures.

Ruan Chayan pondered for a moment before speaking: "I read about it on the bamboo slips used for beginners. It seems the reason for the Bu Rong Mountain Gathering was due to an array, but I don't know why they specifically chose to set up such an array."

Luo Hanying retorted, "[A forbidden area, huh? It must mean something happened here or something is hidden here, right? That's how they always make it up in novels, isn't it?]"

Ruan Chayan: [“That makes sense…”]

"Stop your useless curiosity."

Luo Hanying, trying to make the best of a bad situation, said, "If the system hadn't died, it might still be giving us another mission to explore forbidden areas."

Ruan Chayan awkwardly clasped her hands: ["Hahaha~ How could that be? There's no way such a thing could happen!"]

They remembered that they had only been curious about Zhou Shuxiang and her group's purpose, but ended up getting a main quest instead.

Luo Hanying asked in bewilderment, "The system has been offline for so long, how come no one noticed? Doesn't Xiange have a boss? Will we ever see Xiange again?"

Ruan Chayan sighed: "Who knows? There's nothing we can do right now; thinking too much will only add to our troubles."

Luo Hanying was somewhat dejected for a moment: ["I don't know how they made us hosts, and why they inexplicably disappeared..."]

Ruan Chayan casually chuckled, "Hey!" ["Listen to me, don't think about it so much. It's no use thinking about it anyway. What's important is to live our lives well right now, don't you think?"]

Luo Hanying: [“Tea Mama, I’m happy that you think this way, but our lives don’t seem to be going very well.”]

Ruan Chayan: [“Uh…”]

Luo Hanying: ["I'm not going to say anything more. This formation is damaged in some places. I need to read the instructions and repair it."]

You should also start cultivating, so that when you emerge, I can cling to your coattails and be carried along by you.

Ruan Chayan was both amused and exasperated: "Alright, alright, this isn't the time for you to want to chat with me."

"Isn't my training going well enough? You should keep working hard too, let's strive together. I'm counting on you to carry me to new heights."

Luo Hanying smacked her lips: [“Oh dear, what a waste of hope!”]

Ruan Chayan smiled helplessly: "Are you still going to repair the formation? This is never going to end."

Luo Hanying exchanged a few jokes with her, then calmed down to deal with the matters at hand.

Qi Huixian and Tian Jiangyu stared at the water mirror from sunrise to sunset, and even after Luo Hanying left Burong Mountain, they didn't notice anything amiss.

Tian Jiangyu asked in bewilderment, "Yu Chen, isn't this girl quite normal?"

A day is enough time for her to do something shady, but whether she's testing the barrier or making repairs, she does it no differently than you have before.

Qi Huixian glanced at Tian Jiangyu: "Whether they are exactly the same or not, we'll know for ourselves if we go and see for ourselves."

In the past, Qi Huixian would check the formations himself. Now that he had given her this task to test Luo Hanying, he naturally wouldn't entrust the formations to her and would have to check them himself.

Qi Huixian stood up and was about to put away the three water mirrors when she saw Luo Hanying's figure appear in one of the water mirrors.

Tian Jiangyu approached the water mirror in surprise and said, "Huh? What, is snowing back again?"

Didn't she just leave?

Qi Huixian approached the water mirror: "Then let's see what she's going to do."

The water mirror clearly showed Luo Hanying's stiff movements. She held the jade slip in one hand to read the explanation of the formation, and held the chisel in the other hand to probe the location of the formation's core.

"Yu Chen, is she trying to break the formation?"

The sky was about to rain when it cried out, "You can't judge a book by its cover. The little girl looks nice, but she's got a black heart."

"It can be concluded that she and Le Shu are accomplices."

I don't know who sent them, or if there are any spies within the Shiren Sect.

As Qi Huixian spoke, he channeled his spiritual power to write a few lines of text in the air. The characters transformed into two spirit cranes that flew out and delivered the message to Hua Shiqing and Li Shuhe.

The sky was about to rain when it asked, "What are you going to do if you don't go out?"

Qi Huixian sat back down in her original position: "To avoid alerting her, let's wait until she leaves before discussing this further."

So Tian Jiangyu and Qi Huixian watched helplessly as Luo Hanying destroyed the array's core, her technique becoming increasingly skillful from the initial awkwardness.

Tian Jiangyu stayed up all night with Qi Huixian, feeling bored: "It's boring, really boring."

Qi Huixian took a sip of spiritual tea and said, "What's the meaning behind this?"

The bird called out a few times, flapping its wings excitedly, "She's gone! She's gone! It's almost dawn, she's finally gone!"

I find it truly strange; how could she dare to openly tamper with things?

Qi Huixian pondered for a moment: "I don't understand either. She spent the whole day repairing the formation, so why did she destroy it all at night..."

Tian Jiangyu guessed, "Maybe they're afraid of being discovered?"

She made it way too obvious; how could she be so stupid?

Qi Huixian slowly exhaled: "It's better to be foolish. If you're too clever, those children will also be deceived."

Tian Jiangyu tilted his head and looked at Qi Huixian: "Are you going to reinforce the formation now?"

Qi Huixian shook her head: "No need. She doesn't know the core of the formation. The destroyed ones are just the deceptive array eyes that were released."

He paused, then muttered, "If nothing unexpected happens... I should still get it checked out."

Qi Huixian waved his hand to remove the water mirror, stood up and walked outside. As he waved, the vertical harp crashed into his palm.

The Shang Yang bird burrowed into the vertical harp and was then taken into the ancestral aperture by Qi Huixian for nurturing.

Qi Huixian walked along the edge of the barrier with her hands clasped together, her divine sense covering the array and checking it one by one.

An unexpected figure appeared within the range of Qi Huixian's divine sense.

Qi Huixian asked, puzzled, "Why is she here again?"

Tian Jiangyu spoke through his ancestral aperture: ["Who has come again? You mean Luo Hanying?"]

"Who else but her could go up Mount Burong at this time?"

Qi Huixian was very puzzled. ["Since she was so fixated on the formation of Mount Bu Rong, why did she leave for a while?"]

As Tian Jiangyu preened his wings, he said, "[You can't guess anyway. In my opinion, you should disguise yourself and go ask him.]"

"Who else could be at Bu Rong Mountain besides me? If I were to disguise myself and approach them, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt?"

Although Qi Huixian disagreed with Tian Jiangyu's words, she still planned to conceal her presence and aura to get closer and see what Luo Hanying was up to.
