"What...what are you going to do?" Hong Fei sensed that the person opposite her had ill intentions, but she still tried to remain calm and asked.

"What can I do? I just want to chat." Li Xiangyi smiled slightly at Hong Fei, but in Hong Fei's eyes, this smile was just like the smile of Senior Brother Pei Yuan when those patients were disobedient in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.

Hong Fei swallowed hard and said to Li Xiangyi, "Could you please stop smiling at me like that? You seem to be up to no good."

"Hey, it's not that you're full of bad ideas, is it?" Li Xiangyi said with dissatisfaction.

"That smile you just had... it was exactly the same smile your senior brother from the Valley of a Thousand Flowers in that world had when he was playing a prank on you. He looks elegant on the outside, but he's all black inside. He's cunning!" Hong Fei said indignantly.

"No, I really didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to chat with you and ask you about things in other worlds," Li Xiangyi said, trying to appear innocent.

Hongfei sized Li Xiangyi up and down, still somewhat skeptical. After all, she had seen the TV series. Li Lianhua's cunning and ruthlessness had led Fang Duobing to be so badly deceived. Although the current Li Xiangyi wasn't Li Lianhua, Hongfei didn't think he was a kind soul.

Hongfei, fearing she'd been scammed, was even helping Li Xiangyi count the money. Hongfei was self-aware enough to know that with her limited intelligence, ten of her equals wouldn't be as sharp as one Li Xiangyi. It was better to avoid so many roundabout ways; if something was going to happen, it was best to be direct. As the old saying goes, a swift and decisive action is key.

Hong Fei made up her mind to go straight to Li Xiangyi and ignore his roundabout ways: "Say it, what do you want to ask?"

"What kind of world do you think could be the one that can cure my poison?" Li Xiangyi asked.

“It’s a game created by people. The characters in it awaken and become a real-world martial arts world called JX3,” Hong Fei replied.

"Is that world adjacent to our world?" Li Xiangyi asked.

"I don't know, I don't know either," Hong Fei said.

"Then what about the spatial coordinates you mentioned?" Li Xiangyi asked.

“The spatial coordinates are the locations of the spatial passages connecting the world of JX3 and your world. The spatial passage is like a corridor connecting the two worlds. And the spatial coordinates are the doors to this corridor,” Hong Fei replied.

"Why would the world of JX3 have spatial connection points in our world? Could the world of JX3 use these so-called coordinates to invade our world?" Li Xiangyi asked again.

Hong Fei was taken aback when she heard Li Xiangyi's question. She thought to herself, "Li Xiangyi is truly something else; he's got so many intricate thoughts. He even thought of this. Those who can become the head of a sect are indeed extraordinary."

"Don't worry, this should be a deal between the wills of two worlds, each getting what they need. You don't need to worry about the world of JX3 invading your world, because the teleportation array will be reciprocal. Not only will people from the world of JX3 be able to come here, but you can also go to the world of JX3. Moreover, there will naturally be contractual obligations, so you don't need to worry about it," Hong Fei said truthfully.

"I see. Where are the coordinates? Do you have a general idea of ​​the location?" Li Xiangyi asked.

Hong Fei sighed and said, "I'm not very familiar with your world. How would I know?" Hong Fei's eyes darted around and she continued, "However, each coordinate point has its general characteristics, so it's still possible to guess the approximate range. For example, the Five Poisons Sect is skilled in Gu poison. In your world, are there any places where Gu poison is prevalent?"

When Li Xiangyi heard Hong Fei say that the Five Poisons Sect was skilled in using Gu poison, he frowned and said, "Gu poison is not a good thing, and those who raise Gu poison are not good people."

"Hey? Why are you generalizing? Who said that people who raise Gu poison aren't good people? It's just that their pets are a little special. Do you have to make personal attacks?" Hong Fei said to Li Xiangyi with dissatisfaction.

Li Xiangyi sensed Hong Fei's displeasure and asked uncertainly, "You're reacting so strongly. You're not one of those who raises Gu worms, are you?"

Hong Fei glared at Li Xiangyi with displeasure and said, "I'm not, but I have friends from the Five Poisons Sect. You can't call someone a bad person just because they raise insects. The disciples of the Five Poisons Sect also uphold justice, okay? Besides, their Gu poisons are quite effective. For example, the Phoenix Gu can almost bring the dead back to life. You people can't judge everyone as bad just because of one or two scoundrels. That's prejudice, and it's unacceptable." Hong Fei became more and more indignant as she spoke.

Seeing that Hong Fei was about to get angry, Li Xiangyi quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have generalized. I apologize."

Hong Fei's anger flared up quickly, but subsided just as fast. She knew, in fact, that the Five Poisons Sect didn't have a good reputation in any world. Even in the world of JX3, wasn't Ye Hui the same way towards her master, Qu Yun? Ye Hui and Qu Yun separated because Qu Yun needed to return to the Five Poisons Sect.

Seeing that Li Xiangyi had apologized, Hongfei let it go. She changed the subject, asking Li Xiangyi, "Are there any places in your world where Gu magic is prevalent?"

Li Xiangyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "There's a place in the southwest called Di Family Fortress, where they like to control people with Gu poison. Does that count?"

When Hongfei heard Li Xiangyi mention the Di Family Fortress in the southwest, she remembered a TV series about the practice of Gu poison in the southwest. Hongfei nodded and said to Li Xiangyi, "Why don't you come with me to the southwest to look for it?"

“Alright, let’s go look in the southwest region first,” Li Xiangyi agreed.

"You just agreed like that?" Hong Fei didn't expect Li Xiangyi to agree so readily.

“Why not? I don’t have anything to do right now anyway, and didn’t you say that the Five Poisons Sect can cure the poison in my body? To cure the poison in my body, I have to go with you to find it,” Li Xiangyi said.

"Although I originally wanted you to lead the way, it would be best if you agreed. But... are you really going to abandon Si Gu Men?" Hong Fei asked tentatively.

When Li Xiangyi heard Hong Fei mention the four gates, he immediately fell silent.

Hongfei realized she had asked a stupid question. She had no choice but to change the subject and move on from it.

"When should we set off for Nan Yin to find him?" Hong Fei asked Li Xiangyi.

Seeing that Hong Fei was no longer talking about the Four Gates, Li Xiangyi also avoided mentioning it and instead answered Hong Fei's question: "Let's wait until Master and Mistress return, and then in a couple of days."

"Alright then, whatever you say. I can't find the way anyway," Hong Fei said straightforwardly.

When Li Xiangyi heard Hong Fei say that he couldn't find his way, he couldn't help but recall that Hong Fei had said the same thing when he woke up in the carriage by the sea yesterday. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remember that if it hadn't been for Hong Fei's reminder, his master would probably have already fallen victim to his senior brother's cruelty. He hadn't even thanked Hong Fei yet. So he stood up and bowed solemnly to Hong Fei. Hong Fei was so startled that she almost jumped up, and quickly ran over to help Li Xiangyi up, saying, "What are you doing?"

Li Xiangyi stood up and explained to Hong Fei, "This is to thank you for reminding me yesterday. If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have been able to save Master in time. Master would probably have already fallen victim to my senior brother's poison. I must thank you this time."

Hongfei tugged at her skirt shyly and said awkwardly, "You don't need to be so formal. It makes me feel embarrassed."

When Li Xiangyi saw Hong Fei blushing and looking embarrassed, he immediately laughed.
