Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

After listening to Xiao An's words, Song Shiyue took a while to come to his senses. When he looked around, he was shocked to find himself in his own room. It turned out that Jiang Moqi was behind it all. Jiang Moqi secretly cast a spell, opening a mysterious barrier, and then pulled Song Shiyue inside when he wasn't looking. In fact, Song Shiyue hadn't left the room at all from the beginning.

If Song Shiyue hadn't been clutching those two precious bottles of medicine tightly in his arms, and if his face hadn't been so badly beaten by Xiao An, bruised and swollen, he probably would have started to wonder if he was trapped in some kind of bizarre hallucination.

Knowing he had a crucial match to participate in the next day, Song Shiyue gritted his teeth and decided to obediently take the medicine. After all, if he didn't treat his injuries, it would be a huge problem if he revealed a weakness. Otherwise, if someone curiously asked him why he was in such a sorry state, could he simply tell them, "I got into a fight, and I was outmatched, so I got beaten up like this?" That would be too embarrassing!

However, although Song Shiyue's body was gradually enveloped by weariness, his mind remained active, as if drawn by an invisible force, preventing him from fully drifting off to sleep. One thing haunted his mind like a ghost, utterly perplexing him—why did those two people, upon learning he was a divine beast Qilin, not only show no surprise but instead so brazenly attack him?

It is well known that when people in the world witness the appearance of a divine beast, they are invariably astonished and extremely excited, their hearts filled with awe and longing, and they try every means to establish a relationship with the divine beast. But these two were completely different. Not only did they ruthlessly expose their carefully disguised identities, but they also revealed their painstakingly planned schemes in their entirety, and even knew clearly about their past and present lives, as if they had witnessed them firsthand.

Especially that guy who hit him, who actually uttered arrogant words, claiming that even the supreme Heavenly Dao wouldn't dare to easily oppose his young master. This was truly baffling. Could this person really possess extraordinary abilities, able to control the workings of the Heavenly Dao? Or was there some unknown, immense secret and powerful force hidden behind him? These questions, like a tangled mess, tightly bound Song Shiyue's mind, keeping him tossing and turning, unable to sleep…

However, Song Shiyue eventually succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep, as heavy as a mountain. This was all thanks to the healing medicine Xiao An had given him, which contained a large amount of sleeping pills. Xiao An's purpose was clear: to ensure the injured man had ample and high-quality rest so his body could recover its strength more quickly.

The next morning, the sun, like a joyful child, eagerly rose from the east, showering the earth with warm and bright light. Jiang Shiliu was already awake, quickly dressed, and nimbly climbed out of bed. She had slept incredibly soundly the night before, as if she were in a magical dream world, with someone meticulously setting up a powerful magic circle beside her that could lull her into a deep sleep. Because of this, Jiang Shiliu appeared energetic, her eyes bright and lively, brimming with vitality and vigor.

Meanwhile, Qingyan and Moyuchen began their day as usual, in an orderly fashion. For them, this sect competition was nothing new; they had experienced such a grand event many times before. However, Tianyan Peak's ranking was always in an awkward position, neither high nor low, and sometimes they even nearly came in last place.

This didn't seem to bother them much, as Tianyan Peak had always maintained a carefree attitude. For the people within the peak, rankings weren't the most important thing; the key was to actively participate and enjoy the entire competition. Moreover, even if they didn't achieve their desired results in the sect competition, they could still choose to go out and train on their own, venturing into mysterious little realms to search for precious treasures and thus improve their strength.

Jiang Shiliu frowned, her beautiful eyes fixed on the people in front of her. She muttered to herself, repeatedly counting the number of people with her slender white fingers. She counted several times, but no matter how she counted, there were only two people in front of her.

A question arose in her mind, and she muttered to herself in confusion, "Hmm??? What's going on? Why is one person missing?" Suddenly, as if remembering something, she slapped her forehead and exclaimed in sudden realization, "Oh! I know! Where's Third Senior Brother? Why is he sleeping in today, which is unusual for him! We clearly agreed to go together!"

Hearing Jiang Shiliu's words, Qingyan, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and chimed in, "That's right! It's really strange. He's usually very punctual at this time, and sometimes he even arrives at the agreed place early. Why haven't we seen him yet today?"

Mo Yuchen, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a wave of his hand, he said decisively, "What conclusions can you two come up with by thinking nonsense here? Instead of wasting time, let's go directly to his room and find him! Come on, let's all go together..."

Before the words were even finished, Jiang Shiliu and Qingyan nodded in agreement without hesitation. And so, the three of them strode confidently and imposingly toward Song Shiyue's room. To an outsider, their appearance might have made them look like they were going to start a fight.

Meanwhile, Song Shiyue, who was in the room at that moment, had already woken up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he couldn't wait to check his physical condition. After a careful examination, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his body had completely recovered and he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

"It seems this medicine is quite effective!" Song Shiyue smiled with satisfaction, thinking to himself. He quickly got up, dressed, and tidied himself up. Once everything was ready, he was about to open the door to meet the others at the rendezvous point. However, just as he reached for the door, it was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, Song Shiyue found himself face-to-face with Jiang Shiliu and the others outside the door. For a moment, their eyes met, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward…
