What to do if you receive the wrong package?

The entire city of Wuzhou was stunned by the tremor and the sudden flash of light. The streets were bustling with activity as everyone curiously rushed out to look up. Those inside the inn also immediately got up and ran outside to investigate.

Just as Gu Yan stood up, she suddenly felt a burning sensation in the area where the jade pendant was hidden in her chest. Looking down, she saw that the jade pendant was faintly glowing through her clothes.

Gu Yan was very surprised and wanted to take out the jade pendant to see what had happened, but he was afraid that the presence of many people would expose the abnormality of the jade pendant, so he could only hurriedly raise his head to look for Shen Mujin's figure.

Seeing that Shen Mujin was about to be dragged out of the door by Xuan Yi, and noticing that the jade pendant hanging on her body was also faintly glowing, her body reacted faster than her brain. She covered her chest with one hand and waved the other as she ran towards the two of them, calling out as she ran: "Mumu, Mumu."

Hearing Gu Yan's anxious voice, Shen Mujin stopped in surprise and turned to look in the direction of the sound. However, Xuan Yi, who was holding her hand, was pushed out of the door by the people behind the inn and was forced to let go of her hand.

However, Shen Mujin had no time to care about any of this at the moment. Although she did not hear what Gu Yan said, she clearly saw the shape of Gu Yan's mouth as he shouted at her.

Yu Pei!

Shen Mujin quickly lowered her head, and the jade pendant hanging at her waist seemed to have been powered by a battery, starting to flash. She immediately grabbed the jade pendant in her hand, trying to block its brightness, but the originally cool jade pendant was now somewhat hot to the touch.

Gu Yan also ran to Shen Mujin's side and pulled her down to squat down immediately. Using the table as cover, Gu Yan quickly took out her jade pendant from his pocket. It was also shining brightly and its temperature was somewhat abnormal.

Shen and Gu exchanged a flustered glance. Gu Yan swallowed hard, and just as he was about to say something, the jade pendant returned to normal.

At the same time, the much-anticipated pillar of light outside the window also disappeared.

"The beam of light that just appeared must be the reason for the change in the jade pendant." Gu Yan said with a serious expression and a very certain tone.

"But what was that beam of light just now?" Shen Mujin's voice was very soft, as if she was asking Gu Yan, or as if she was just talking to herself.

"Whatever it is, that's the direction of Qixia Mountain. It must be related to the Seven Star Stones." Gu Yan had previously speculated about the relationship between the jade pendant and the Seven Star Stones, and now it seems that some of it can be confirmed.

The light disappeared, and the people on the street, having lost interest in the spectacle, returned in twos and threes to their inns to continue their dinner.

Gu Yan pulled Shen Mujin up from the ground. Seeing Mumu's pale face, she quickly led her to sit on a stool and asked with some concern, "What's wrong? Did you squat for too long and get low blood sugar?"

Shen Mujin shook her head, managing a faint smile.

"It's nothing, I was just startled when the jade pendant suddenly reacted."

In fact, since Shen Mujin transmigrated, she had mostly ignored the rumors about the mysteriously appearing jade pendant and the Seven Star Stone. As a staunch materialist, she viewed such superstitious things as ghosts and gods as mere feudal superstition.

Even the idea of ​​time travel is purely subjective...

Regardless of whether she transmigrated before or after, even if her soul entered someone else's body, Shen Mujin is still Shen Mujin, she is still herself.

Therefore, she did not have Gu Yan's concerns. It was Shen Mujin who met Xuan Yi, it was Shen Mujin who walked out of the Falling Cloud Cliff, and it was Shen Mujin who had Xuan Yi who loved her and whom she loved at the same time.

But recent events have proven to her that she was wrong; some things simply cannot be explained by science.

For example, the pillar of light that just appeared.

For example, the jade pendant that just showed signs of abnormality.

For example, is Shen Mujin still Shen Mujin?

Gu Yan seemed to have guessed what Shen Mujin was thinking, so he could only put his arm around her shoulder and gently comfort her:

"Mumu, there are some things that we can never control. The only thing we can do is to take control of ourselves. You are Shen Mujin, my best friend Gu Yan, and the health consultant in our working class."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mujin couldn't help but laugh out loud. She lightly punched Gu Yan and retorted, "You're just flattering us again."

Gu Yan shrugged indifferently and continued, "It's nothing. It's just that the jade pendant is glowing. Just think of it as a little plastic light-up toy. You might even be able to use it to amuse Sheng Sheng later. Besides, Xuan Yi is about to appear. If he sees you with me and has a really bad expression, you might lose one of your best friends."

"Pah, pah, pah, you're talking nonsense again. I don't know what's wrong with you two, you start fighting as soon as you meet, are you elementary school students?" Shen Mujin, who was initially feeling uneasy, felt somewhat relieved after Gu Yan's few words.

The group quickly returned to their seats, but they were still discussing the situation that had just occurred, and even the food on the table lost its original appeal.

"Jiang Si, do you think what just happened might be related to Lao Bai and Li Hengzhi?" Xuan Yi's words immediately attracted the attention of the others.

"You mean, Hengzhi and Young Master Bai might have activated the great formation in the mountains?"

Xuan Yi nodded. "Even if they didn't activate it, this light is probably still related to the great formation."

"Since you're worried, why don't you go and take a look?" Chen Kangnian suddenly said.

"Everyone saw this strange phenomenon. They've come for the Seven Star Stone, so they're definitely going to investigate. Why don't you go and see for yourselves?"

Chen Kangnian's guess was correct. When Xuan Yi and the others arrived at the place where they had left the mountain that morning, it had already been occupied by various martial arts figures.

Since Gu Yan and Shen Mujin were also with them, and there were many people around, the group didn't dare to venture into the mountain rashly. They could only find a relatively quiet open space and quietly watch the mysterious Qixia Mountain in the darkness.

Gu Yan and Shen Mujin were left in the carriage. The two leaned against each other and took out their jade pendants at the same time, examining them carefully.

Of course, when the pillar of light suddenly appeared, not only the two of them, but also Hua Yin, Su Huaiqi and Zhou Yuran, who were far away in Zhongjing, noticed the abnormality of the jade pendant at the same time.

The three of them immediately put on the unusual jade pendant and headed towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake where they usually gathered. However, before they had gone far, the unusual appearance of the jade pendant disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was a hallucination.

However, they still had to go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The three of them gathered together with solemn expressions and took out the jade pendant at the same time, which meant that everyone had felt the strange phenomenon of the jade pendant before.

Su Huaiqi broke the silence first, "The jade pendant suddenly glowed, and the temperature also rose. Are all our changes the same?"

The other two nodded.

Hua Yin gently stroked the patterns on the jade pendant and asked, "What were you all doing before the jade pendant changed?"

Su Huaiqi: "Recite it. The teacher will check it tomorrow."

Zhou Yuran: "My roommate and I are practicing the piano."

Hua Yin frowned, her tone uncertain. "I was copying a book, which shows we were doing very ordinary things. But the jade pendant couldn't have become like this for no reason. I'm afraid it's..."

"I'm afraid it was something that Ayan or Mumu did that caused this?" Su Huaiqi finished Hua Yin's sentence.

Hua Yin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"But... what did they do?" Zhou Yuran's tone was full of worry. For the jade pendant to undergo such a strong change, what they were doing must be quite extraordinary.

But Ayan and Mumu are just two frail little girls. Won't there be any risks involved in doing something so dangerous?

The three of them probably realized this, and their expressions became even more serious than before. Su Huaiqi, feeling even more irritated, kicked the stone pillar directly.

"Don't scare yourself. Mu Mu is usually very steady, and A Yan is full of mischievous ideas. There shouldn't be any problems." Hua Yin patted Su Huaiqi's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

“Hua Bao is right. We’re trapped here now, and the fastest and only way out is the entrance exam in three days. We can’t panic.” Zhou Yuran stood on the other side of Su Huaiqi, comforting others while also comforting herself.

"Hoo..." Su Huaiqi closed his eyes and sighed, realizing that he had acted impulsively just now.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go back and continue memorizing now."

After saying goodbye to each other, the three quickly headed towards their respective villas. This time, however, they were even more determined, and they were determined to pass the entrance exam in three days.

Qixia Mountain.

Deep in the mountains, at a great formation.

The sudden burst of light was indeed related to Bai Li and his companion.

The specific details begin after the group separated at the cliff.

After climbing over the cliff face, Li Bai and his companion spotted the "path" Xi Ming had mentioned. However, this path was not an ordinary one; it was a tunnel winding through the mountains.

The tunnel was eerily quiet, completely dark from the outside, as if stepping inside would plunge one into eternal silence and darkness. Li Hengzhi took out two luminous pearls, handed one to Bai Heming, and then, holding the glowing pearl, led the way into the tunnel.

Apart from the occasional sound of water dripping, the only sounds in the tunnel were the two people's shallow breathing.

As they walked, the two came to a fork in the road. Seeing that the road in front of them had suddenly turned into three paths, Li Hengzhi turned his head, seemingly asking Bai Heming for his opinion.

Bai Heming never imagined that the path he casually pointed out would lead him and Li Hengzhi to the mountain's grand formation by chance, but also where they would encounter a formidable opponent—the old woman.

The elderly couple came into the mountains with their master three days ago to test the method of activating the formation. The great formation in the mountains had been discovered for some time, but no matter how they tried, they made no progress.

Until a few days ago, the master suddenly had an inspiration and asked the great shaman for three large buckets of blood. Fearing that the method would be leaked, he finally sent only the old man and woman to drive the carriage with the blood and the master into the mountains.

After entering the mountain, the old woman, following her master's orders, slowly poured a large vat of blood into the center of the great formation. The moment the blood touched the formation, the entire formation flashed with a golden light. As the blood continued to be poured in, the old woman was surprised to find that the thick blood did not flow outwards along the formation, but instead seemed to be absorbed by the center of the formation.

After the three large vats of fresh blood were poured in, apart from the initial golden light, there was no further reaction.

But this golden light was enough for the old man and his wife's master, who sat in the carriage and laughed heartily:

"Not enough, not enough. We need more, more."

The elderly couple did not react to the manic tone of the person in the car, and stood respectfully outside the car waiting for the next order.

"Grandma and Grandpa, you stay here and keep watch. Report any situation immediately."

"Yes, I obey."

The person inside the carriage stretched out a hand from the curtain and gently swiped it upwards. The black horse, which had been looking down, instantly straightened up, and its once clear black and white eyes became only white. Then, the black horse turned around and walked out of the cave on its own.

During these three days, the formation remained perfectly normal under the watchful eyes of the old woman and her husband, except for the unexpected intrusion of Li Hengzhi and Bai Heming.

The moment Li Hengzhi saw the great formation, he felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if some inexplicable force was drawing him in.

He couldn't help but walk towards the great formation, but after only a few steps, he heard the sound of sharp weapons cutting through the air. He rolled backward to dodge, and a row of poisoned nails were neatly embedded in the spot where he had just stood.

The enemy was in the shadows, not in the light. Li Hengzhi decisively drew his longsword and shielded Bai Heming behind him.
