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

"That's strange, I slept really well last night, why do I feel so tired?"

Luo Hanying felt inexplicably uncomfortable all over her body.

Ruan Chayan asked in surprise, "You're at Burong Mountain again so early?"

Luo Hanying explained, "I'm only two hundred contribution points away from visiting you, what are you waiting for? You can wait, but I can't."

Ruan Chayan pondered for a moment before speaking: "It must be because you were tired during the day yesterday."

Don't overwork yourself. Didn't you say there's no time limit for this task?

Luo Hanying said, "I know what you mean, but I feel uneasy if I have unfinished work. I can only feel at ease after I finish it."

Luo Hanying was unaware that Qi Huixian was standing not far from her, watching her inspect the formation. She made a few hand gestures and then stopped, feeling her body up and down.

Tian Jiangyu looked left and right, still not understanding why Luo Hanying had suddenly gone mad: ["What's wrong with her? Is she feeling unwell?"]

Qi Huixian hesitated, then said, "[Maybe so, she was pressing acupoints.]"

"This spy is incredibly dedicated!"

Tian Jiangyu exclaimed in admiration, "I'm really curious what she'll get in return for doing this? What could possibly be worth her working so hard for?"

Other people at least work from dawn till dusk, but she's just working non-stop.

"Hiss, eh?" Luo Hanying frowned and peered out, comparing the images and formations on the jade slip. "This isn't right..."

She turned back to look at the formation she had examined the day before, and the more she examined it, the more alarmed she became.

Luo Hanying yelled, "Damn it! The formation I fixed yesterday was wrong!"

"Huh? What went wrong? Everything was fine yesterday!" Ruan Chayan couldn't see what was happening on her side, so she could only ask patiently.

Luo Hanying collapsed to the ground in despair: "I don't know! What the hell!"

I think I misjudged it yesterday. This formation is a large formation containing smaller formations, each with different details. I think... I think I misjudged it yesterday and dismantled it for someone else..."

Ruan Chayan gasped: "Can you still fix it? What if you didn't check the formation properly and broke it, and they blame you?"

Luo Hanying covered her face and groaned a few times, saying irritably, "Sigh, I'll give it a try. Damn it, what's wrong with my brain? How could I mess this up?"

Ruan Chayan comforted her, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. Everyone makes mistakes. It's good that you've corrected them. Don't worry or get upset. There's still a chance to salvage the situation."

Luo Hanying lost interest in chatting. She complained to Ruan Chayan for a few minutes and then hurriedly checked the information marked on the jade slip in an attempt to restore the formation.

Fortunately, she had studied array formations and was able to deduce their operation. If she were a complete novice, she would probably be helpless.

Qi Huixian and Tian Jiangyu found Luo Hanying's actions utterly unbelievable.

Tian Jiangyu wished he could reveal himself right under Luo Hanying's nose: ["Am I seeing things? She's started repairing the formation again?"]

Qi Huixian's expression was complicated: ["Yes, I checked the operation of those two small formations, and she repaired them quite well."]

"What...what does she mean by this?" Tian Jiangyu asked incredulously. "What is she trying to achieve? She can't be pretending because she sensed your presence, can she?"

Qi Huixian's lips tightened: ["Le Shu is unfathomable, and Luo Hanying is no pushover either. Let's return to Xinxue Palace to observe."]

So, Qi Huixian, who had returned to Xinxue Palace, watched helplessly as Luo Hanying spent a whole day repairing the formation, accompanied by Tian Jiangyu.

Because setting up the formation required the use of spiritual energy, Luo Hanying even emptied her dantian, and it was clear through the water mirror that her condition was extremely poor.

Tian Jiangyu clicked his tongue in amazement: "What an extraordinary person! I haven't seen such a...unpredictable human being in a long time."

Qi Huixian rested her chin on her hand and leaned against the table: "Watch, watch with me until I'm satisfied, and see what she's really up to."

Qi Huixian and Tian Jiangyu kept a close eye on Luo Hanying for another two days, watching her repair the formation during the day and destroy it at night. She was so exhausted that she was pale, unsteady on her feet, and listless every day.

Luo Hanying felt that she wasn't feeling well, so she dragged her feet back to Luanjin Pavilion, intending to rest properly before continuing her mission.

"Junior Sister Luo? What happened to you, how did you get yourself into this state?"

Tong Zhixian stared at Luo Hanying in shock, "What have you been doing all this time?"

Tong Zhixian and Hou Tong, who were passing by, looked at Luo Hanying's appearance. She looked as if she hadn't slept for days and nights.

Luo Hanying said wearily, "I didn't do anything. I just went to Hongyan Hall to take on some tasks, hoping to earn some sect contribution points. Who knew those tasks wouldn't be so easy..."

Damn it, I'm calling the police to arrest Yu Chen!

The layered formations of Bu Rong Mountain must include illusion formations!

Otherwise, how could the formation keep getting worse despite attempts to fix it?! Why didn't he explain this clearly in the jade slip?!

Hou Tong said understandingly, "Sect missions are all tough and tiring work. Why don't you come to class if you have the time?"

Tong Zhixian responded twice: "Yes, my monthly allowance is quite generous. Is it not enough for you?"

Luo Hanying sighed: "Not really."

You've probably heard that I started learning with a friend back then.

My friend was unaware of the clan rules and made a mistake. She's currently reflecting on her actions on the Cliff of Repentance. I'd like to use my contribution points to visit her.

Tong Zhixian asked with concern, "How long is she going to be facing the wall in seclusion?"

Luo Hanying said, "Half a year, almost two months have passed now."

Hou Tong and Tong Zhixian couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, which confused Luo Hanying, who didn't understand what was so funny.

Hou Tong chuckled and said, "What's the rush? It's only been half a year. I thought you were going to be locked up for ten or twenty years."

Cultivators often go into seclusion for over a decade; six months is practically the lightest punishment. I imagine your friend didn't commit anything too serious. Just relax and wait for her to come out.

Luo Hanying looked troubled: "Our understandings are not quite the same. I think half a year is too long."

My friend and I have known each other for so many years, and we've never gone six months without seeing each other.

She knew this was a cultural difference; cultivators didn't think half a year was a long time, and perhaps a single meditation session would take several times longer. But she and Ruan Chayan still had the mindset of mortals.

Hou Tong joked, "What kind of friends do you have? Are they a pair of lovebirds?"

Luo Hanying quickly waved her hand: "Hey, no, no! We're both girls! She's my good friend."

Hou Tong said with a hint of sexuality, "What's wrong with women? Elder Fang of Blade Peak and Elder Li of Dance and Music Peak are two women who became Daoist partners."

However, this varies by region. Some places believe in the balance of yin and yang between men and women and do not allow same-sex relationships.

Luo Hanying gaped in shock and asked gossipily, "Really?! You guys are so open-minded?! Quick, tell me the details!"

"Isn't this Junior Sister Luo? Why haven't you come to the Discipline Hall to see our Senior Brother Fu lately?"

A mocking voice broke the harmonious atmosphere on Luo Hanying's side.

Luo Hanying looked at the two men and one woman approaching, puzzled, and said, "I haven't needed to trouble Senior Brother Fu recently."

Ke Bei sneered, "You know you've caused Senior Brother Fu a lot of trouble? At least you have some self-awareness."

Luo Hanying: ? What do you mean? I only asked about the Cliff of Contemplation once, how did it become so much more troublesome?
