However, after looking around, she found that the Xuan Yang Sect and the Yun Xiao Sect where she was located did not seem to be much different.

Strangely, along the way, the male disciples' gazes seemed glued to the two of them, and they couldn't shake them off no matter what they did.

These intense gazes made Chu Yunyi blush and feel uneasy.

She wished she could grow wings immediately and fly to the reception hall to escape the uncomfortable stares.

So she grabbed Hua Qi's arm tightly and clung to him like an octopus.

Whenever there were fewer people on one side, she would switch to Hua Qi's side.

After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at the reception hall of the Xuan Yang Sect.

When Chu Yunyi saw that there were only two people in the hall, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, you two must be the delivery disciples from the Cloud Soaring Sect, right?"

Upon spotting Hua Qi and Chu Yunyi from afar, the two people couldn't wait to ask, their gazes first falling on Hua Qi, who was walking ahead.

“I am not a disciple of the Cloud Soaring Sect! The one standing behind me is. However, if you two have any needs, please let me know and I will arrange for her to handle them properly.”

Hua Qi smiled and calmly answered the other party's question.

"If that's the case, why not let her speak for herself?"

The two men stared at Chu Yunyi with suspicion, which made Chu Yunyi involuntarily shrink further behind Hua Qi.

Seeing this, Hua Qi began to explain.

"To be honest, my junior sister from the Cloud Soaring Sect is quite introverted, especially afraid of dealing with strangers. So I will speak to you two on her behalf. I hope you will understand."

Hua Qi spoke calmly and confidently, showing no stage fright whatsoever.

This display of talent made Chu Yunyi, who was hiding behind him, feel envious. She secretly thought how wonderful it would be if she could talk to people as freely as Hua Qi.

"Oh, I see. It's alright, please just hand over the goods you are transporting to us."

One of them nodded and said this, while the other nodded in agreement.

Chu Yunyi knew that this place was a spacious and bright reception hall.

Based on the words, actions, and clothing of the two people in front of her, she deduced that they must be members of the Xuan Yang Sect.

Since the other party has clearly stated their requirements and seems quite reliable, there shouldn't be any problems delivering the goods to them.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunyi gently tugged at Hua Qi's sleeve. Still harboring some doubts, she couldn't help but cast her gaze at Hua Qi beside her again.

Hua Qi smiled and nodded slightly in acknowledgment to her.

After receiving this confirmation, she carefully took out the mysterious object from her bosom—it turned out to be an exquisite box.

She gripped the box tightly with one hand, while her other hand clutched Hua Qi's clothes, as if this would give her more courage and a sense of security.

The two walked forward slowly side by side, eventually arriving in front of the other two.

She handed the box in her hand to one of them.

After taking the box, the man opened it without hesitation to check the contents.

After inspecting the items, he nodded in satisfaction, indicating that it was acceptable. He then waved for them to leave, signifying that the mission was complete.

But before they had even fully stepped out of the reception hall, another group of people suddenly filed in.
