A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Ye Shuli stared at the words "ghost hand" on the letter, her mind racing.

She'd never been this conflicted even during the college entrance exam!

The pressure from the mysterious organization weighed on her like a boulder, and the scarcity of cultivation resources only made things worse.

Sunset Valley—the name itself sounds fraught with danger, but fortune favors the bold. Take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!

"Let's go!" Ye Shuli made up her mind, her eyes revealing a resolute determination.

Jiang Ye was internally screaming (OS: Li'er, can we play it safe for once?).

But seeing Ye Shuli's determined gaze, he obediently shut up and became a loyal boyfriend, silently following behind.

Sunset Valley, true to its name, is a breathtaking sight as the sun sets and the sky is ablaze with rosy clouds, a scene so beautiful it looks like it's been photoshopped.

Unfortunately, a tense atmosphere permeated this picturesque scenery.

As soon as Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye stepped into the valley, they sensed that something was wrong.

The surrounding bushes rustled, as if countless eyes were hidden within.

"Ye Shuli! You really are colluding with the mysterious organization!" A loud shout shattered the tranquility of the valley.

Master Li, dressed in a green robe and holding a long sword, leaped out of the bushes, followed by a group of menacing cultivators, including Fairy Zhou.

"Master Li, what do you mean by this?" Ye Shuli was completely bewildered; she didn't understand how the plot was unfolding!

"Hmph! Still pretending! Someone saw you secretly meeting with people from the mysterious organization in Sunset Valley!" Li Daxia said righteously, as if he had caught them red-handed.

Fairy Zhou chimed in, "Miss Ye, you'd better tell the truth to avoid suffering."

A million grass mud horses galloped through Ye Shuli's mind.

What is all this?

She was even more wronged than Dou E!

The cultivators around her all looked at her with hostility, as if she were some heinous sinner.

Ye Shuli took a deep breath, trying to suppress the surging emotions in her heart.

"Master Li, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You say I'm colluding with a mysterious organization, where's the evidence?"

Li Daxia sneered, "Evidence? Do you think we'd be unprepared?" With a wave of his hand, the cultivators behind him drew their weapons and surrounded Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.

"Today, you can't escape even if you grow wings!" Ye Shuli looked at this group of people, her heart was completely unmoved, and she even wanted to laugh.

That's it?

Did you try to extort money from her?

Back in the day, she was a woman who could tear apart clients and engage in heated debates with trolls. This little scene is nothing to her!

Taking a deep breath, Ye Shuli activated her Sherlock Holmes-Li mode.

“First of all,” she said, holding up a finger, her tone as calm as if she were giving an academic presentation, “why would a mysterious organization so secretive allow anyone to see me meeting with them? That doesn’t make sense!”

She held up a second finger. "Secondly, Luoxia Valley has beautiful scenery and is suitable for dates, picnics, and taking photos. I came here to enjoy the scenery, who did I bother?"

The third finger, "Finally, and most importantly, the mysterious organization wants to cause trouble. I'm a peace-loving, model youth, and I have absolutely nothing to do with them!" This logical bombshell left the surrounding cultivators stunned.

"That seems... to make sense..." someone muttered quietly.

"This little girl is quick-witted..." another cultivator agreed.

Looking at Ye Shuli, Zhou Xianzi thought, "This girl really doesn't seem like a bad person."

However, Master Li remained unmoved, his neck stiff, like a fighting rooster.

"Stop with the sweet talk! You say there was no collusion, so you think there was no collusion? Where's the evidence?"

At this moment, Jiang Ye slowly stepped forward, his signature smug smile on his face.

“Evidence? Of course there is!” He pulled out a photographic stone from his pocket and tossed it into the air.

The image stone clearly records the scene of Ye Shuli confronting members of a mysterious organization in the spirit crystal trading market.

"Li'er, Li'er, look at them, they all look like wilted eggplants, hahaha..."

"Shut up! Focus on recording!"

"Oh……"

After viewing the photo stone, the entire audience fell silent.

Zhou Xianzi was the first to react, walked up to Ye Shuli, and bowed slightly.

"Miss Ye, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Ye Shuli shrugged. "It's okay, I'll just be more careful next time."

Jiang Ye immediately jumped out and said to Ye Shuli as if to take credit, "Li'er, how about it? You still have to rely on me in this crucial moment, right?"

Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, "Shut up!"

Li Daxia's face was ashen, his lips trembling as he pointed at Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye, "You...you..."

"What about us?" Ye Shuli raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile.

Li Daxia's face turned red and his neck bulged, like a rooster whose tail had been stepped on. He stomped his feet and shouted, "Impossible! This must be a fake! You've all conspired together!" He couldn't swallow this insult. How could he, the dignified Li Daxia, be completely fooled by a little girl?

If word gets out, where will Master Li put his face?

"Hey, Master Li, why are you so stubborn? The facts are right in front of you, yet you still refuse to admit it!" Jiang Ye shook his head from the side, giving Master Li an expression that said, "You're hopeless," which only made Master Li angrier.

"Shut up! You're everywhere!" Li Daxia roared, his longsword flashing as he pointed it directly at Ye Shuli. "Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and eliminate you, you witch!"

With that, he flashed forward, his sword light hurtling towards Ye Shuli like a bolt of lightning.

The biting sword wind stung Ye Shuli's cheeks, and the surrounding cultivators retreated hastily, afraid of being drawn into the battle.

"Wow, is it for real?!" Jiang Ye exclaimed, quickly hiding behind a big tree and peeking out to watch. "Li'er, go for it! Hit him! Hit him hard!"

Ye Shuli curled her lips into a smile, showing no fear whatsoever.

That's it?

Small scene!

She moved with a light and graceful gait, like a butterfly in flight, skillfully dodging Li Daxia's attacks.

"Hey, Master Li, your swordsmanship is terrible, it's like you're just messing around!" Ye Shuli dodged while making sarcastic remarks, which made Master Li furious.

Master Li's swordplay became increasingly fierce, his sword energy crisscrossing, felling a large number of trees around him.

The onlookers were terrified. This Master Li was known for his fiery temper and his lack of restraint. The young girl was likely to suffer!

However, Ye Shuli was as slippery as an eel, impossible to grasp.

She incorporates modern footwork and movement techniques into her cultivation techniques, making her agile and unpredictable. She can always dodge Li Daxia's attacks at the last second and even find opportunities to counterattack.

"Oops, I bumped into you by accident, I'm so sorry!" Ye Shuli slapped Li Daxia on the chest with her palm. The seemingly light slap contained a powerful force, which made Li Daxia stagger backward.

The onlookers were stunned. This little girl looked so delicate and weak, but she was so amazing!

Jiang Ye, who was hiding behind the tree, was also stunned, his eyes filled with love and admiration.

His Li'er is so wonderful!

Ye Shuli fought with increasing ferocity, perfectly blending modern fighting skills with cultivation techniques, leaving Li Daxia utterly powerless to retaliate.

In her eyes, Li Daxia's attacks were like slow-motion replays, full of flaws.

"Li'er, be careful!" Jiang Ye suddenly shouted.

Ye Shuli's heart tightened, and she subconsciously turned around to look...

Ye Shuli turned around and saw a dark figure descending from the sky, heading straight for her!

Fortunately, Jiang Ye warned her in time, and Ye Shuli narrowly dodged the attack, but the strong wind still made her blood and qi surge.

"Holy crap, they have backup?!" Jiang Ye jumped out from behind the tree, pointing at the black-clad man who had launched the sneak attack. "What kind of hero resorts to sneak attacks?!"

The man in black attacked again without saying a word.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye stood back to back, working together to defend against the attack from the man in black and Master Li.

Although Ye Shuli's combat power was off the charts, she still found it somewhat difficult to fight two against one.

The surrounding cultivators either watched coldly or whispered among themselves, and seeds of doubt began to sprout in their hearts.

"This Ye Shuli is definitely suspicious!"

"Those who collude with mysterious organizations are definitely not good people!"

"Let's see how long she can hold out!"

These whispers pierced Ye Shuli's ears like needles, making her feel utterly chilled.

She was fighting to protect the world, but she was misunderstood and ostracized. This loneliness almost suffocated her.

She gritted her teeth, suppressing the bitterness and exhaustion in her heart, and continued to fight.

At this moment, a figure appeared silently at the edge of the crowd.

He wore a gray robe and a straw hat, which covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

He silently watched Ye Shuli.

Ye Shuli also noticed this mysterious person.

Her heart moved. Could it be...

It's him?

The cultivator who gave her the message?

The mysterious figure's appearance heightened the vigilance of the surrounding cultivators. They all turned their gazes towards him.

"Who are you?" Li Daxia shouted.

The mysterious man did not answer, but simply stood there quietly, as if he were out of place with everything around him.

His appearance made the already tense situation even more unpredictable.

Ye Shuli looked at this mysterious person with a sense of vigilance.

She didn't know whether he was friend or foe, nor did she know why he was there.

But she had a premonition that this person's appearance would change everything.

"You..." Ye Shuli was about to speak when she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
