Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Chapter 268 Ugly Rejection, Thank You

During their conversation, Shi Xiaxia also realized that Bai Wei was not forced to come.

He was a decoy! An undercover agent in the seduction department!

How cunning!

After leaving the cave, Zhu Chen said goodbye to Bai Wei and said, "That Eleven is a big problem. I need to go back and check on him to avoid causing any trouble."

"Indeed." Bai Wei nodded, then put his hands behind his back and left.

Zhu Chen strolled towards Shi Xiaxia's residence.

Shi Xiaxia, who was hiding under Zhu Chen's feet: "..."

This is terrible! She's discovered that Zhu Chen is somehow her nemesis!

It's extremely bad for her!

But whether he slipped away from Zhu Chen's shoes and went back on his own, or went back with him, it was too late!

Shi Xiaxia also looked helpless and could only resign herself to continuing to hide in Zhu Chen's shoe, which was much faster than going back by herself.

Just as Zhu Chen stepped into the courtyard, Shi Xiaxia slipped off his shoe and quickly ran into the house.

"Knock knock knock!" Zhu Chen knocked on the door.

Xiaxia became even more nervous while she was still trying to climb out of the window.

She struggled to climb over the window and then jumped onto her body.

"Clang clang clang!"

Zhu Chen was still knocking on the door when he received no response. He asked, "Eleven, are you already asleep?"

The little paper figure landed in front of Shi Xiaxia and manipulated its two little hands to form a hand seal.

"I'm coming in!" After not receiving a response for a while, Zhu Chen pushed open the door.

"What to do, what to do!"

Once back inside her body, Shi Xiaxia frantically took off her clothes, pretending to be getting dressed, while sweeping the little paper figure under the bed.

She glared at Zhu Chen, who had barged in, and shouted angrily, "Great Protector, you really don't treat yourself like an outsider! How dare you just walk into a girl's room like that?!"

"I'm just afraid you'll play some tricks on me." Zhu Chen turned his back with great composure, ignoring Shi Xiaxia's disheveled appearance.

"You've cast a spell on me, so what tricks would I dare to play for my own life!" Shi Xiaxia replied irritably.

"Yeah."

Zhu Chen gave a noncommittal smile, then clapped his hands, and the little spider that was perched on Shi Xiaxia's forehead quickly jumped over.

"Yo,"

Zhu Chen pointed at the little spider: "Looks like the food here is pretty good. The little spider has gotten quite fat."

Shi Xiaxia looked at the little spider, which had indeed grown considerably larger, and felt guilty, so she didn't say anything.

"Just right,"

Zhu Chen smiled and summoned a few more Gu worms: "Feeding them is really troublesome, so I'll have to ask Eleven to take care of them for a while."

Shi Xiaxia: "......"

She realized that Zhu Chen was the one who suspected her!

What a hassle!

"If there's nothing else, hurry up and leave!"

Shi Xiaxia sternly told them to hurry up, "I need to rest."

"Okay." Zhu Chen chuckled, then turned and left the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind him for Shi Xiaxia.

After confirming that Zhu Chen had left the courtyard, Shi Xiaxia quickly bent down to look for the little paper figure that had fallen under the bed earlier.

“This…” Shi Xiaxia stared blankly at the empty space under the bed.

The little paper figure has disappeared!

Zhu Chen took it?! Did he find out about it?!

Shi Xiaxia's face darkened, her expression growing increasingly serious.

This Zhu Chen seems to know everything; he's really troublesome!

......

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" Zhu Chen was walking when he heard a sound coming from the bushes.

Zhu Chen bent down and went closer, and saw a little hamster carrying a small paper figure in its mouth, chirping at Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen took the paper figure, glanced at it a few times, and curled the corner of his mouth slightly.

He then raised his hand, tapped the little hamster, put the paper figure away, and continued walking outside.

......

With a few more Gu worms guarding her, Shi Xiaxia was even less able to do anything.

Moreover, after this incident, Zhu Chen would come over to check on her every night, whether he had something to do or not, so Shi Xiaxia could only stay obediently in the courtyard.

Two months passed in this way, and Shi Xiaxia was also locked up for two months.

Early that morning, Zhu Chen and Bai Wei came looking for them.

Shi Xiaxia opened the door and saw that the two people were holding several flags, which were emitting spiritual energy fluctuations.

Shi Xiaxia's eyes darkened.

The formation flags are ready...

Bai Wei placed the array flag on the table, sat down, and said to Shi Xiaxia, "Take a look and see what I think."

Shi Xiaxia picked up the array flag and examined it. In this world, it was considered a pretty good magic weapon, but for Shi Xiaxia, it was just average.

"Master Bai Wei's works are all masterpieces!" Shi Xiaxia praised.

"It's natural."

Bai Wei stroked his mustache: "Practice when you have free time. If there's anything you don't like, tell me as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Shi Xiaxia agreed.

After seeing Bai Wei off, Zhu Chen remained standing in the same spot.

"What, you still want to stay for dinner?" Shi Xiaxia said irritably when she saw that Zhu Chen hadn't left.

"If you sincerely invite me, it's not impossible," Zhu Chen said with a smile.

Shi Xiaxia: "......"

"Ugly, thank you." Shi Xiaxia's gaze towards Zhu Chen was full of disdain.

"Ah,"

Zhu Chen chuckled and said, "You don't have much time. Familiarize yourself with these magical artifacts as soon as possible. If you dare to have any other thoughts..."

If you have any other thoughts, you can kill me!

Shi Xiaxia picked at her ear: "Can't you put a little thought into your words? It's always the same thing."

"Words need not be many, as long as they are useful."

Zhu Chen raised his hand and tapped Shi Xiaxia: "I'll come find you the day after tomorrow, and then we'll set up the formation."

Shi Xiaxia saw Zhu Chen withdraw his hand from knocking on her, place his right hand on the door, and slam it shut.

Zhu Chen jumped aside to dodge, and a teasing voice came from outside: "You really don't suffer any loss at all!"

"Hurry up and leave! Don't keep me from getting used to my new magical artifact!" Shi Xiaxia said rudely, shooing them away.

After she finished speaking, there was no sound outside. Shi Xiaxia looked out the window and saw Zhu Chen's departing figure before she felt relieved.

Then Shi Xiaxia came to the table and carefully looked at the more than twenty array flags.

She took one out and infused it with spiritual power. Then the array flag emitted a light, and patterns appeared around the flag.

Those are runes engraved on the flag.

These runes are also part of the formation and can increase the power of the formation to be set up.

Shi Xiaxia looked at them and found that these array flags were divided into Spirit Gathering and Yin Gathering, which seemed to be intended for her to set up Spirit Gathering Array and Yin Gathering Array.

What exactly does the sect leader want to do with these two formations?!

Shi Xiaxia sighed and looked at the few small spiders in the room. They were being watched too closely. She hadn't been able to find out any information even after being here for so long.

However, the time when the formation is set up will be a good opportunity to gather a lot of information.

And gathering spirits and gathering yin...

Shi Xiaxia smiled and said, "Let's change them all to Spirit-Severing Arrays!"
