Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

"So, can I know why my wardrobe is so clean now, with only two items left?" Inside the wooden house, Lu Yunshi looked at the two clothes in his wardrobe and fell silent for a moment. He clearly remembered that the wardrobe was full when he left.

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Li Hongying's eyes glazed over, her gaze darting left and right. "But...maybe it ran away on its own."

"Run?" Lu Yunshi narrowed his eyes, looking at Li Hongying with a probing gaze. "Are you taking me for a fool?"

At that moment, the seventh brother suddenly raised his hand. "I know, it's the fifth sister. I saw her coming out of your room, eldest brother, and then..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Hongying raised her foot and kicked out, immediately causing Lao Qi to fall to the ground and wrestle.

"Tsk, sleeping so soundly." The sixth brother looked at the seventh brother lying on the ground with schadenfreude, feeling very happy.

"Sigh~ I'm not saying anything, but why did you take my clothes? And so many of them?" Lu Yunshi sighed and asked helplessly. He really couldn't understand why Li Hongying would steal his clothes. If she really wanted them that much, couldn't he just buy them for her? Wasn't that style the academy's student uniform?

"I'm sorry, boss, I'll wash it and return it to you later." Li Hongying chuckled, trying to get away with it by acting cute and silly.

Lu Yunshi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after seeing Lao Liu beside him, he chose to swallow his words.

"Never mind, it's just a few pieces of clothing. Just wash them and return them to me later."

After speaking, Lu Yunshi casually picked out a piece of clothing from the wardrobe, then looked at Li Hongying. The two exchanged a glance but neither made a move.

Two seconds later, Lu Yunshi coughed lightly and reminded him, "Um, you can go out now."

"Oh." Li Hongying nodded in sudden realization, then turned to look at Lao Liu. "Did you hear that? You can leave now, and take this idiot on the ground with you. Get out of here and don't disturb me and the boss."

"You get out too." Lu Yunshi, who lived in Bengbu, could only grab Li Hongying's ear and then forcefully throw her out the door before finally looking at Lao Liu.

"Close the door."

The sixth brother nodded hastily, then quickly dragged the seventh brother out and closed the door behind them.

“These guys are really…” Lu Yunshi shook his head. None of these brothers could give him any peace of mind. The ones who could give him peace of mind had already gone up the mountain. The ones left behind only made him angry.

Suddenly, Lu Yunshi paused. "Wait, why did you give it back to me after you washed it?"

"My boss is so infuriating! How could he avoid me? I made it so obvious, and he just casually put his arm around my waist and said something like, 'Sweetie, you look so pretty today, why don't you stay here and let me change your clothes?'"

"Or you could say something like, 'Woman, you've successfully caught my attention today. Stay and help me change my clothes.' I wouldn't mind that, would I? Don't you think?"

Meanwhile, outside, Li Hongying was still sullen about being kicked out of Lu Yunshi's residence, her eyes fixed on Lao Liu, trying to get his approval.

"Haha." The sixth brother felt that his fifth sister was acting a little strange, so he chose to use the "haha" method to avoid a dispute.

Damn, I'm suddenly a little envious of that idiot lying on the ground.

Unbeknownst to them, behind a tree a dozen meters away, two girls were staring intently at them.

"Um, Yunxi, are you sure you want to just follow her like this?" Senior Sister Li asked worriedly, looking at Lu Yunxi, whose expression was clearly not good at the moment.

She wasn't worried about herself, but only about Lu Yunshi.

"I wasn't following you, I was just out for a walk." Lu Yunxi spoke slowly, her expression strange and her eyes dark. But looking at her friend's hand that had torn off tree bark, Senior Sister Li didn't believe a word of her words.

Going out for a walk? Going out for a walk just happens to lead to where Lu Yunshi lives?

Senior Sister Li looked back at the wooden house and gazed at the lively and beautiful girl. After thinking for a moment, she decided to try to help him out, considering how much Lu Yun had helped her during their previous trip to Tiger's Mouth Abyss.

"I don't know what the relationship is between that woman and Lu Yunshi, but considering how deeply Lu Yunshi was in love with you before, it's probably not a special relationship. They should just be ordinary friends."

"Just friends?" A cold smile curved Lu Yunxi's lips. "Whatever, it doesn't matter to me, it has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Lu Yunxi's increasingly forceful hand, Senior Sister Li suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the tree.

I mean, sister, why don't you just go up there and ask us directly? Let's stop being so stubborn, okay?

"Let's go back." Suddenly, Lu Yunxi let go of her hand and said to Senior Sister Li.

"Okay, okay." Senior Sister Li nodded quickly. She didn't want to stay any longer; who knew what might happen?

Just as the two were about to leave, Lu Yunshi, who had changed his clothes, opened the door and came out. The two saw the girl waiting outside the door exclaim in surprise when she saw Lu Yunshi appear, and then immediately pounced on him. Although Lu Yunshi stopped her in time, Senior Sister Li still felt a chilling and terrifying aura surging around her.

'Oh no!' Senior Sister Li's heart skipped a beat.

"Let's go and take another look." Lu Yunxi said with a gloomy face, and quietly followed with Senior Sister Li.

Senior Sister Li sighed, having no other choice but to follow.

On the other side, Lu Yunshi touched his arm and found that he had goosebumps. "That's strange. I brought the heat stone with me, so why do I still feel a chill?"

"Boss, where are we going?" Li Hongying asked, tugging at Lu Yunshi's sleeve.

"Now that we no longer need to worry about passing the assessment, there are only two things we need to worry about." Lu Yunshi held up two fingers and began to speak without further suspense.

"First, the academy's mysterious grand prize."

"A mystery prize?" Old Six frowned. "If it's just one person, the mystery prize isn't impossible, but if they want to sweep the top ten spots, that'll be a bit difficult."

"I asked about it before. The algorithm for the mystery prize mainly calculates the number of crystals in the late stage of Body Tempering. Although the mid-stage Body Tempering is also counted, it is three to one, which means that three mid-stage crystals are equivalent to one late-stage crystal."

Hearing this, the seventh brother nodded. "Yes, the competition this time is so fierce. There are many people in the late stage of Body Tempering who we cannot ignore. Under these circumstances, it is already difficult for us to ensure that our own people pass the test. If we also want to aim for the mysterious grand prize, it will be really not easy."
