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

After bidding farewell to Xu Fengyu, Luo Hanying returned to the Wuyu Terrace and told Ruan Chayan about her experience. She said that this task was really difficult to complete because the system did not provide any guidance.

Are they going to the disciplinary hall?

If they wanted to join the Discipline Hall, given Xu Fengyu's attitude, the two of them would most likely be rejected, making their efforts in vain.

If they hadn't joined the Discipline Hall, and they hadn't had the opportunity to befriend Xu and Fu, and their relationship was just so-so, how could Xu and Fu have told them about the spies from the Shiren Sect?

Luo Hanying was anxious and worried that the main quest at this stage would not be completed, which would affect the final outcome.

Ruan Chayan felt somewhat annoyed by Luo Hanying's rambling.

She adopted a "what the hell" attitude, saying that since it would only deduct 10% of the main quest progress anyway, and they already had 10% progress, they might as well just stop doing it.

The system has vanished into thin air, and we don't know when it will reappear or even if it will. So what do we care about tasks now?

Luo Hanying was filled with thoughts, but she agreed with Ruan Chayan's words and decided to put this matter aside for the time being and focus on improving herself.

How long have you known Ruan Chayan?

Luo Hanying looked at Le Shu, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, completely baffled: "It's been almost eight years, what's wrong?"

What brings you here all of a sudden?

Le Shu lowered her voice and said, "You've known her for eight years and still haven't seen through her true colors?"

Luo Hanying: "? Huh?"

She looked at Le Shu, who seemed about to reveal a shocking secret, with a puzzled expression. "What true face?" What was this sister talking about?

Le Shu hesitated several times, sighing repeatedly without making herself clear, saying that she was afraid Luo Hanying wouldn't believe her truth.

Luo Hanying was driven to the brink of madness by Le Shu: "Just say what you have to say. Whether I believe you or not is my business. What's with this 'say or not say' thing?"

Le Shu looked regretful, seemingly quite pitying Luo Hanying who was kept in the dark, and asked, "Do you know what kind of cultivation technique Ruan Chayan practiced?"

Luo Hanying stammered, "Uh, I really don't know. Such a private matter is something that cultivators can't tell even their own parents, let alone someone like us."

She wondered if Le Shu had come to ask about Ruan Chayan. Why would she ask that?

Le Shu then said, "That's right, I think you didn't know that either."

She spoke eloquently, "Do you still remember why we were locked up on the Cliff of Repentance?"

I used my own incense to help Ruan Chayan cover up her mistake, because I wanted to repay your kindness, but she didn't tell us the truth.

Her ability to attract spirit beasts wasn't due to any elixirs she obtained in the secret realm, but rather because of the cultivation techniques and methods she practiced.

Luo Hanying's expression betrayed a hint of shock, but she feigned ignorance, asking, "Really?"

Le Shu whispered, "Why would I tell you if I didn't have definite news?"

"Wow..." Luo Hanying looked away from Le Shu and couldn't help but ask, "How did you get such accurate information? I have no idea how you knew?"

Le Shu pulled Luo Hanying's hand and said sincerely, "How I know this doesn't matter. What matters is that Ruan Chayan has character issues."

If she were a good person, how could she have a way of attracting spirit beasts, right?

The elders in the Discipline Hall are right; this is immoral and dishonorable.

Her action gave Luo Hanying goosebumps, but she was too embarrassed to pull her hand back.

At this moment, the slanderous words against Ruan Chayan angered Luo Hanying. She wanted to follow up with her words and see what other nonsense she could come up with, but she couldn't swallow her anger.

"Han Ying, look me in the eyes." Le Shu suddenly stared straight at Luo Han Ying.

Luo Hanying subconsciously looked into Le Shu's eyes, her mind going blank for a moment.

Le Shu's smile held a hint of worry: "Did you remember everything I just said? I was worried that you might be harmed without even realizing it because you weren't on guard."

Luo Hanying nodded slowly and mumbled, "I'll remember that. Ruan Chayan is not a good person."

Luo Hanying felt her words were incongruous as soon as she said them, and immediately complained in her mind: "Ruan Chayan, Le Shu told me you're not a good person."

Ruan Chayan almost choked on her breath from Luo Hanying's shout. She repeated in confusion, "Le Shu told you I'm not a good person?"

Weren't you studying the fourteenth-level formation? Why did you go to find Yue Shu?

Luo Hanying responded to Le Shu's words in a half-hearted manner, explaining her current situation: ["No, Le Shu came to me and told me that the cultivation method or mental cultivation technique you're using is unacceptable, and that you're immoral."]

"What's wrong with Yue Shu?"

Ruan Chayan believed in their friendship, and Luo Hanying's words to her now proved that she didn't take it to heart.

Ruan Chayan was angry that Le Shu was stirring up trouble everywhere: [“She came to me yesterday and said bad things about you, saying you have a talent for formations, and that you know many formations but won’t teach me.”]

Luo Hanying snapped to attention, her mind clearing a bit: [“Eh? Didn’t you say you didn’t need me to tell you?”]

Ruan Chayan angrily muttered: "Yes, we all know what's going on. Some formations aren't something you can teach me and expect me to learn. It all comes down to talent."

Le Shu kept babbling on and on next to me, and I just gave her a bunch of vague replies to get through it. And now she's coming to you to badmouth me? Is she crazy? She has a dead friend and can't stand seeing others have good relationships?

Luo Hanying wholeheartedly agreed with Ruan Chayan's words: ["I think so too. That bitch, spending all her time not cultivating but gossiping about others. What a despicable person!"]

Le Shu tentatively asked, "Han Ying, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what I just said?"

Luo Hanying snapped out of her daze and looked at Le Shu with a less than friendly gaze: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about what you said."

Is there anything else?

Seeing that Luo Hanying was distracted, Le Shu felt that what she had just said had worked, so she took her leave, leaving Luo Hanying to fall into a mental trap.

"Le Shu is gone." Luo Hanying said, sounding like a tattletale.

Ruan Chayan frowned and said, "It's strange. She knows we've known each other for years, so why would she do something so thankless?"

Luo Hanying couldn't figure it out either, and said blankly, "I don't know, she's probably just jealous of us. She's so petty."

For the next period of time, Le Shu visited Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying every few days, all with the aim of sowing discord between them.

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying had a very good relationship, and they were very open and honest with each other. As a result, not only did Le Shu's plan to sow discord fail, but the two of them also stopped paying attention to Le Shu.

However, on the surface, the two seemed to have no contact because they were busy with their cultivation, and it really looked like Yue Shu had successfully sown discord between them.

Soon after, news spread that Yue Shu had gone into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm.
