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

The moonlight, like water, cast a mysterious silver glow over this ancient land of heritage.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye stood side by side, but the scene before them made their hearts sink.

The once familiar entrance was now shrouded in an invisible barrier, and an unsettling sense of oppression filled the air, as if countless eyes were watching from the shadows.

"What's going on?" Jiang Ye broke the silence, scratching his head with a disgruntled look. "It's been upgraded? And it even has anti-reconnaissance capabilities? This Inheritance Land is really good at stirring things up!" He pursed his lips, his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing) skills maxed out.

Ye Shuli narrowed her eyes, her fingertips brushing against the invisible barrier, a cold sensation reaching her heart.

Modern knowledge told her that this was no ordinary barrier; it contained powerful energy fluctuations, and the slightest carelessness could trigger unexpected dangers.

It's like suddenly encountering a hidden boss in a game, and having to navigate a maze before you can even start fighting it – it's practically an "official way to discourage players from playing."

"Be careful," she whispered, her eyes showing a hint of seriousness.

However, before they could explore further, two familiar auras came from behind them.

Young Master Lin and Young Master Su arrived gracefully, like a boy band with their own background music. Although their styles were very different, they attracted everyone's attention.

"Li'er, this place is indeed not simple." Young Master Lin spoke first, looking at Ye Shuli with deep eyes, his tone carrying a hint of domineering and worry, "I'll help you."

Young Master Su remained as gentle as ever. He lightly waved his folding fan and said softly, "The Land of Inheritance is fraught with danger. Let us do our part."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: "Hmph, these two guys really know how to find an opportunity. They act like they're here to offer help, but they're clearly here to steal him away!"

"Who needs your help?" Jiang Ye retorted directly, arms crossed, with a "stay away" expression. "We can do it ourselves." His tone was like that of a protective little wolfhound, not giving an inch.

Seeing this, Young Master Lin frowned. He stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Shuli, his imposing aura overwhelming. "I'm just worried about Li'er's safety!" His tone seemed to say: I am the man who cares about her the most, you all step aside!

Young Master Su frowned slightly, his gaze towards Jiang Ye filled with scrutiny and dissatisfaction. He tightened his grip on the folding fan, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, making it difficult to breathe.

A sense of oppression washed over me like a tidal wave, making it hard to breathe.

Just as the tense atmosphere reached its peak, Ye Shuli suddenly spoke up: "Stop arguing." Her voice was cold, yet carried an undeniable power.

She turned around, her gaze sweeping over the three of them, before slowly uttering a sentence that made the atmosphere even more eerie, "How about we..." "How about we... split up and act?" Ye Shuli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, like a little fox who had just stolen some fish.

As soon as this word came out, the audience was silent.

Jiang Ye was stunned, thinking: As expected of the woman I've set my sights on, she's so clever!

Young Master Lin and Young Master Su looked on in disbelief; this plot development was not right!

They said in unison, "No way!" as if they had rehearsed it, their perfect understanding.

"Li'er, this inheritance ground is fraught with danger. You must be in a group with me." Young Master Lin spoke with an overbearing CEO-like tone, leaving no room for argument.

"Shuli, let me protect you." Young Master Su's gentle approach was full of affection.

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes and thought to himself: Can you two have any shame?

What time is it? Why are you still fighting over someone? Do you think I don't exist?

Ye Shuli looked at this chaotic scene without any emotion; she even felt a little amused.

She coughed lightly, adopting a serious expression: "Dividing into groups is more efficient, and..." She paused deliberately, her eyes sweeping over the three of them, her tone becoming more emphasizing, "This is an order."

Ultimately, under Ye Shuli's "tyranny," the three had no choice but to compromise.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye formed a group, while Young Master Lin and Young Master Su each acted alone.

"Hmph, you got off easy!" Before leaving, Young Master Lin glared at Jiang Ye, his eyes seeming to want to devour him alive.

Young Master Su looked at Ye Shuli with a worried expression and gently instructed, "Be careful in everything."

Jiang Ye watched their departing figures and scoffed disdainfully, "So much drama!"

Ye Shuli ignored the two drama queens. She walked to the barrier, carefully observed the patterns on it, took out a device that looked like a tablet computer, and began to scan and analyze it.

"What kind of high-tech is this?" Jiang Ye asked curiously, his eyes wide as he watched Ye Shuli operate the device.

"This is the culmination of modern technology," Ye Shuli explained as she operated the device. "It can analyze energy fluctuations and break through restrictions."

As the instrument scanned, the patterns on the barrier gradually became visible, forming a complex design.

Ye Shuli frowned, her fingers flying across the screen as she muttered to herself, "Qimen Dunjia? Five Elements and Eight Trigrams? This restriction is interesting..."

Looking at Ye Shuli's serious expression, Jiang Ye couldn't help but exclaim, "Li'er, you're amazing!"

Ye Shuli smiled but didn't say anything, continuing to focus on breaking the restriction.

Suddenly, the instrument emitted a sharp alarm, and a line of large red text appeared on the screen: Warning!

Abnormal energy fluctuations!

"Not good!" Ye Shuli's expression changed, and she suddenly looked up at Jiang Ye, "Quick..."

"Back off!" Before Ye Shuli finished speaking, a powerful energy wave erupted from the barrier, sweeping towards them like a tsunami.

Jiang Ye only felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could react, he was slammed away by a powerful force, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Jiang Ye!" Ye Shuli exclaimed and rushed forward to help Jiang Ye up.

Looking at Jiang Ye's pale face, she felt a pang of heartache.

Her heart leaped into her throat, and her modern first aid knowledge kicked in as she quickly checked his injuries.

"I'm fine..." Jiang Ye smiled weakly, blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth, but he still couldn't resist complaining, "This Inheritance Land really does give you a big welcome gift every time you meet someone. Could you please come up with a gentler way to welcome us next time?"

Ye Shuli glared at him irritably, then quickly took out healing pills from her storage space and fed them to him.

Just then, Young Master Lin swept over like a gust of wind, snatched Jiang Ye from Ye Shuli's arms, and said with a hint of displeasure, "I'll take care of him!"

"..." Ye Shuli was speechless as she watched Young Master Lin's textbook-perfect "domineering CEO" style of behavior.

She admitted that Young Master Lin was indeed very powerful and cared about Jiang Ye, but his "stealing" tactics were really a bit childish.

Young Master Su also arrived shortly after, inquiring about Jiang Ye's condition with concern, his face filled with worry.

Before Ye Shuli could say anything, the barrier attacked again.

This time, it was no longer a simple energy surge, but transformed into countless blades of light, raining down on them like a storm of pear blossoms.

"Watch out!" Ye Shuli shouted, quickly summoning her spiritual weapon to defend against the surging attacks.

Despite his injuries, Jiang Ye refused to back down and, despite his injuries, released his spiritual power to fight alongside Ye Shuli.

Young Master Lin and Young Master Su also joined the battle, each unleashing powerful spiritual skills to fight against the power of the barrier.

In an instant, the entire land of inheritance was shrouded in various lights, and the spiritual energy fluctuated violently, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The light blade collided with spiritual energy, producing a deafening roar that shook the earth.

Ye Shuli and the others resisted with all their might, but they were still struggling.

Ye Shuli frowned. She knew that things couldn't continue like this, and she had to find the weakness of the barrier as soon as possible.

Just then, she suddenly noticed that the light blade attacks from the barrier seemed to follow a certain pattern, rather than being random attacks without any rhyme or reason.

A thought struck her, and she quickly shouted, "Stop! I've discovered..."

"Stop! I've figured out its attack pattern!" Ye Shuli's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the chaos, like a beacon in the darkness, instantly igniting hope.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped their pointless attacks and looked at Ye Shuli, awaiting her instructions.

Ye Shuli pointed to the patterns on the barrier and said quickly, "These patterns are like a complex array. The attack trajectory of the light blades follows the direction of the array. As long as we find the pattern of the array, we can predict the attack and dodge it!"

"Li'er, you're so smart!" Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli with admiration, his eyes sparkling as if he were seeing his idol.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way!" Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him, then began directing everyone to dodge the attacks.

"Three steps to the left, two steps forward, turn right!" Ye Shuli's voice was like that of a commander on the battlefield—calm, composed, clear, and powerful.

Following her instructions, the group moved through the gaps in the light blades as if dancing, and actually managed to dodge multiple attacks.

Young Master Lin and Young Master Su couldn't help but admire Ye Shuli's wisdom and leadership. Even Jiang Ye, who was usually sharp-tongued, looked at Ye Shuli with new respect and secretly rejoiced: Luckily I acted quickly, otherwise such an excellent woman would have been snatched away by someone else!

However, although they temporarily escaped the attack of the restriction, the secret behind the restriction remains unsolved.

Ye Shuli frowned as she looked at the complex array before her, lost in thought.

"This formation... seems familiar..." she murmured to herself, countless images flashing through her mind, yet she couldn't grasp the key information.

Just then, Young Master Lin suddenly spoke up: "Li'er, let me try!" As he spoke, he stepped forward to touch the barrier.

"Don't be impulsive!" Ye Shuli quickly stopped him. "The power of this restriction is very strong. It's dangerous to touch it rashly!"

"It's alright, I'm tough, I can handle it!" Young Master Lin smiled confidently.

"You..." Ye Shuli wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Young Master Su: "Brother Lin, let me do it. I'm too delicate and can't handle it. Why don't you experience it?" After Young Master Su finished speaking, he took a step forward. Although his tone was gentle, it carried an undeniable determination.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Jiang Ye couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Ye Shuli's hand and pulled her behind him, saying domineeringly, "Stop arguing, let me handle this!"

Ye Shuli looked at the three men in front of her, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She knew they all meant well, but she didn't know how to choose.

She took a deep breath and slowly began, "How about..."

"How about..." she paused, a sly glint in her eyes, "we'll attack together!"
