This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

The other three elders, being men, listened quietly without interrupting.

Jingwei continued, "After that person finished speaking, he asked me if I needed to reply. I thought that I hadn't reported that I was safe and sound since I had arrived here, so I took that person back to my residence. After that, I wrote a letter and handed it to that person. Then that person waved his hand, and I don't know anything about it."

"When I woke up again, I was in the outhouse. My coat was gone, but luckily I had one on me. Aunt Yun found me right after I changed. After that, I don't know anything."

Yunzhi also began to recall, "That's right. When the test started, we found that three people were missing during the roll call: Bai Qingshu, Xiao Jingwei, and Ye Lianxue. So I kept looking for them, and when I found them, Qingshu was indeed in the outhouse."

Qingshu glanced at the clothes at the foot of the bed and said, "These are the clothes I was wearing back then. How did they end up here?"

Jingwei had already changed into clean clothes, so Qingshu didn't notice when she came in.

The Third Elder finally spoke, "It seems that he has a grudge against these children, but using the sect's formation is truly hateful."

The Fifth Elder glanced at Jingwei again, puzzled. "Senior Brother, you said these two children aren't particularly strong, so how did they manage to escape unscathed?"

Before anyone could answer, Qing Shu asked, "Then can we be sure that the person inside is Lian Xue? And she..." Qing Shu didn't dare to finish her sentence. She was afraid that her friend would never come out again, afraid of losing her.

The elder reassured her, "It's not certain yet, but at least she's still alive."

Then he answered the Fifth Elder's question, "Perhaps it was the two children who were not destined to die." The First Elder's thoughts drifted away.

That was the only answer he could give. What else could he say? If he said the formation had weakened, then all the sect disciples would try to challenge it, and it would become uncontrollable, because he knew very well whether the formation had been weakened or not.

He then added, "Go and talk to them to see if we can delay it for another day."

The elders nodded in unison. They hoped to wait for Lian Xue to come out, since those who could emerge from the ancient Tianyi Formation were no ordinary people and would at least become regional overlords in the future.

Therefore, we still need to provide some convenience.

Then everyone's figures disappeared, and Yunzhi also took her leave.

Before leaving, she instructed Qingshu to take good care of Jingwei, because she knew that Qingshu still wanted to know a lot, so she specially left her behind.

After seeing that the elders had all left, Qing Shu asked how the clothes ended up with her.

Jingwei patiently explained what she knew.

In a secluded spot within the sect, surrounded by overgrown weeds and uninhabited, two people were present: a masked woman, half-lying on a withered tree stump, her clothes disheveled, panting and acting coquettishly.

A lewd man squatted down beside her, supporting her upper body and lovingly stroking her skin.

As the man was about to take the next step, the masked woman stopped him, grabbed his hand, and said shyly, "Brother, are you sure that person can't get out?"

Without revealing who it was, the woman gently touched the man's skin again.

The man shuddered, his body responding, and said impatiently, "Of course, if your strength level isn't high enough, you'll only face death. Don't worry, there won't be any problems." He then hurriedly pulled at the woman's clothes.

The woman stopped the other person's hand again, "But..."

The man grew impatient. Seeing the fat meat about to slip through his fingers, he refused to give up. "Little beauty, no buts! Since you came to me, you have to trust me, right? Hurry up, I can't wait any longer."

She added, "Take off the mask, it's so beautiful, and it's all hidden." Then she took off the mask.

This person was none other than Xiaoru, whose cultivation had been crippled by Yunzhi. She did not stop the other party and looked at the man with affection in her eyes.

Her eyes held a mixture of pity and tenderness, a mixture of reluctance and acceptance. In the end, I stopped trying to stop her and reluctantly agreed.

Amidst the tall weeds, a scene of enchanting beauty unfolds, a springtime wonder that remains unknown to all.

Of course, Xiaoru and the others didn't know that someone had already emerged from within the formation. If they had known, would they still be so reckless?

Inside the illusion array, the silly girl finished washing the toilet, and the steward relaxed his guard. Because it was the old lady's birthday banquet today, many wealthy businessmen had come, and everyone was busy in the front hall, so no one paid attention to the little girl washing the toilet.

Because there was an extra reward for doing odd jobs in the front hall today, everyone who could go went.

She had done everything she was supposed to do, so no one paid any more attention to her.

After cleaning, she quietly went to a prostitute's room, found some clothes to cover herself and changed into, then took some jewelry that could be exchanged for money, and slipped out the back door under the cover of night.

The back door is usually locked, but today is the birthday banquet. People are coming and going at the front door, so the back door was opened because those delivering food and offerings have to come in through the back door.

Watching the guard leave with a deliveryman, she quietly ran over, pushed open the door and peeked outside. Finding it safe, she turned a few corners and ran into the alley, disappearing from sight.

When the old lady's birthday banquet ended and they discovered that the silly girl was missing, no one went to look for her. After all, she was just a little girl who was dispensable in their eyes, and her disappearance was insignificant.

With so much chaos and crowds that day, it wouldn't matter if someone took a liking to you, took you away, or killed you; no one in the manor would investigate.

Only those who had bullied her cursed her, because there was no one left whom they could bully at will.

In the illusion, the silly girl left the main city. Because her master was a merchant, she dared not stay for fear of being caught, so she left overnight and spent the night in a tree in the deep mountains.

She didn't know why, but resting in the tree, she didn't feel scared. Instead, she felt safe and fell asleep peacefully.

She was fast asleep, unaware that someone was following her, quietly watching her as she tried to escape from the mansion, came here, and then fell into a carefree sleep.

This man was none other than Zhuge Mu. Ever since he discovered this girl who had endured humiliation and hardship that day, he had been drawn to her and followed her here. He thought to himself, "It seems I need to arrange a chance encounter, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."

On the desolate mountain of the sect, the two rolled on the grass, and after their song ended, they packed their clothes and reluctantly parted ways.

Xiaoru blushed shyly, looking incredibly charming and arousing a man's desire. The man swallowed hard, his eyes shining brightly, and hugged Xiaoru again.

"You little vixen, I don't want to let you go, how about..."

Xiaoru extended a finger and pressed it against the other person's lips, stopping him from saying what he was about to say, and whispered, "It's getting late, how about another day?"

This action completely touched the man's soft spot. He stuck out his tongue and licked Xiaoru's finger. "Little vixen, I'll let you go today, hahaha." The man released her with satisfaction.

As if she'd been electrocuted by the lick, Xiaoru withdrew her hand, gave the other person a shy glare, put on her mask, and then turned and left.

The man, still reluctant to let go, held onto Xiaoru's clothes and slowly released her.

What a wonderful betrayal of love, making others envious.

But after Xiaoru turned and walked away, and couldn't see the man anymore, she hid in a corner, wiping her body and even her cheeks with a look of disgust.

Just then, two people came by and started talking as they passed by.

"I heard that someone came out of the ancient Heavenly Yi Formation. I didn't expect that someone of such a low level could come out alive. I guess I was just lucky or what?"

"That's right! Even the Martial King has been accompanied by an elder for so many years. This person is amazing. I'd like to try it myself."

"I don't know if the remaining person will be able to get out, but they're safe for now."

"I checked before, and it's safe for now, but I don't know if I'll be able to get out."
