"Elder sister, why do you say that?" Wu Kong asked with a confused expression. Luo Liya then curled her lips: "She has been hiding in the Poison City the entire time and spread such rumors that no one would dare go near her. Naturally, she is worried about Dongli Zhen finding her, so why is she worried about him finding her? This means that she definitely has something that Dong Li Zhen wants in her hands. If she had listened to Dong Li Zhen's words, then perhaps her position would have been extremely high, but she chose to live in seclusion here, which means that her position is different from Dong Li Zhen's. Dong Li Zhen is our enemy, she is Dong Li Zhen's enemy, and the enemy of our enemy is our friend. "

Luo Liya's analysis made Ye Yingtian prostrate on the ground, and she could not help but give him a thumbs up, "High! How high! How did you come to think of that? "I'm still confused …"

"Just use your brain. Eat more pig liver." Luo Liya said in a joking tone. Ye Yingtian was immediately angered. His face was red as he tried to retort, but Wu Kong interrupted him, "Sister is right. I'll give you the liver from now on!"

Ye Yingtian's face turned even darker when he heard this and they immediately started laughing. At this moment, the door of the room was opened. Two women in white came in and respectfully said to Luo Liya and the others, "Master will treat you to a meal in the front hall."

After that, she gave Wu Kong and the others a meaningful glance. Everyone immediately understood what was going on and happily followed the two white-clothed women out. After passing by the rooms on both sides of the corridor, the front of the room finally opened up, the candles lit up, and Luo Liya stared at the scene in front of her with slight astonishment.

Lu Qingyi was already sitting at the end of the table, and beside her were two other white-clothed women. On the table were two beautiful dishes, and even calling them delicacies from mountains and seas wouldn't be excessive.

After they entered, Lu Qingyi instructed the rest of the women in white to leave. They were the only ones left in the room.

"Sit down." She then took off her black veil, causing Wu Kong and the others to have to see her true face. Just as Luo Liya had said, she was a very beautiful lady, but she was definitely not young.

"Thank you, Master." Her left was Lu Qingyi, her right was Wu Kong, and beside Wu Kong was Fu Dongming, Ye Yingtian, Moon Spirit, and Zi Ruo.

Although it was called the Eight Immortals Table, there were only seven people present. Lu Qingyi was the first to move the utensils. She didn't even raise her eyes as she said, "You guys should eat as well."

Luo Liya gave a faint smile and nodded at Lu Qingyi, while the remaining few felt a little awkward. However, they were all hungry, and after such a battle, they were all hungry. Seeing how impolite Luo Liya was, they did not try to be courteous anymore, especially Wu Kong and Ye Yingtian.

Lu Qingyi was also silent the entire time. She should have received a very good education, being unable to eat or sleep, and her posture was also one of anticipation. After the meal, she used a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, then stood up, "You guys can continue."

Luo Liya quickly said, "Master, take care."

Lu Qingyi didn't say anything else and just left. The moment she left, the previously quiet and lonely room was suddenly filled with noise and excitement. Without her there, everyone else was relieved.

After Luo Liya's persuasion at first, they decided to stay here and see if they could discover something, so they obediently returned to their own rooms.

Wu Kong and Ye Yingtian fell asleep immediately. Zi Ruo and Yue Ling each slept on their bed for a while, but they could not fall asleep no matter what. In the end, Luo Liya couldn't take it anymore, she put on her good clothes, sat at the tea table, drank a few mouthfuls of cold tea, and looked forward with her eyes towards the front. She couldn't help but raise her head and look through the window, trying to open the door again.

When she thought of this, Luo Liya was a little frustrated. She always thought that she was one of the stronger students in the academy, but when she came out and saw the outside world, her horizons were really broadened. There was truly someone out there, someone out there who needed her improvement.

With that thought, Luo Liya frowned slightly, and took out her Zhen Qi stone. Recently, she seemed to have been stuck in a bottleneck in her cultivation, why couldn't she break through to the Immortal Level?

Tao Tie continued to stay within the Zhen Qi stone. The Zhen Qi stone was emitting quite a bright light, causing the entire room to suddenly light up. There was no need to light the lamp.

At that moment, she heard a few voices calling out to her, as if calling her name. She followed the source of the voice and saw that it was coming from a room diagonally across the street.

Luo Liya frowned and recalled that it was Fu Dongming's room.

"Dong Ming, is that you?" Luo Liya said in a not too loud voice. Then, she heard Fu Dongming's deep voice, "Yes, it's me. Liya, can't you sleep as well?"

Luo Liya nodded, but then remembered that Fu Dongming couldn't see her now, so she softly said, "Yes, I always recall the dreams I had last night."

"Me too, I'm not sleepy at all. Seeing Lu Qingyi today, she looks exactly the same as the woman in my dreams. Could it be that she really has the ability to enter her dreams?" Fu Dongming asked with a puzzled tone. Luo Liya could almost imagine how his thick eyebrows were knitted together.

"So, if we assume that she has the ability to enter a dream, why did she ask you those questions?" Her voice was soft, like a light breeze blowing on Fu Dongming's heart. Fu Dongming felt an itch in his heart and swallowed his saliva, only then did he remember her question and quickly replied: "You said that she should be around the same age as Dongliu Yuzhen, shouldn't … Do you know my grandfather? "

Hearing this, Luo Liya froze. Indeed, this was a possibility. Xu Shang and Dongli Zhen were both contemporary experts, but Xu Shang was hidden away in the outside world. Wait! Hiding in seclusion! Lu Qingyi was also living in seclusion. Was there some sort of connection between the two of them?

"Dongming, do you know why your grandfather retreated all those years ago?"

"I don't know. At that time, I was still a child and didn't know much about human life. I only heard from my mother that my grandfather was an upright and loyal person and wanted me to follow his example."

Fu Dongming replied with a sigh. His voice sounded somewhat frustrated. It was as if he was recalling every single detail of his childhood.

"When you were only a few years old, you meant … More than ten years have passed, right? " What a coincidence! Xu Shang had retired more than ten years ago, and Dong Li Zhen had won the duel with Mo Zhiyin over ten years ago, as well as Lu Qingyi … Something must have happened between these people.

"That's right. Grandfather has lived in the Netherworld Mountain for more than ten years. He has never left it." Fu Dongming replied in a deep voice, his tone filled with a thick sense of injustice. But Luo Liya was thinking about something else.

She had a feeling that these people must have some sort of connection, something to do with Dong Li Zhen winning the Concealed Ink, Lu Qingyi and Xu Shang retreating, and even more so with the catalyst of zhenqi.

"Liya, are you still there?" Seeing that Luo Liya was silent for a long time, Fu Dongming could not help but ask.

"Ah, I'm still here." "I'm a little sleepy, so you should go to bed too. You have to keep your spirits up tomorrow."

Hearing that, Fu Dongming nodded, "Alright then."

He was facing the window, and although he did not see her figure, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, revealing a pleased expression: "If only I could speak to you like this forever, how great would it be!"

Of course, he couldn't hear her.

Early the next morning, someone was knocking on Luo Liya's door. She sleepily saw someone push open the door and enter, a white figure swaying in front of her. She frowned and rubbed her eyes, only after hearing the soft voice did she suddenly wake up.

She opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. "What are you doing here?"

"This is face washing water. Master wants me to prepare it. Lady, you can rest assured." The woman in white, who was wearing a veil, said indifferently. She then left the room, leaving only Luo Liya on the bed, who seemed to have no idea what was going on.

She pulled open the corner of the bed, stretched her body, and put on her clothes. After a simple wash, she wanted to leave, but before she even reached the door, it opened by itself.

They were all there, but Lu Qingyi was nowhere to be seen. When Luo Liya asked the woman in white if she was there, she only said that she was not, and Luo Liya shrugged her shoulders. After a quick breakfast, they were all asked to return to their rooms, and Luo Liya was taken to another place.

Wu Kong and the others obviously wouldn't do it.

"I want to go with my sister." He spoke in a succinct and forceful manner, his eyes radiating a stubborn light. In an instant, his aura had become extremely powerful.

"Master said …"

"We have to be together." Zi Ruo also spoke in a low voice, interrupting the white-clothed woman's words. Her face was filled with an unswerving determination.

The white-clothed female was in a difficult position as she looked towards the other white-clothed female beside her. They were frightened by Wu Kong, Fu Dongming, and Zi Ruo's imposing manner.

"If you don't let us stay together, I won't go. Your master is my master, so she will definitely promise me that." Luo Liya spoke with a cunning expression. Her eyes were filled with bits and pieces of light.

In the end, the woman in white had no choice but to compromise. "Fine, you guys follow me."

Luo Liya and the others quickly caught up with them and took the opportunity to observe their surroundings. This was a sealed secret chamber, but it was very big, and there were many rooms in it. They walked to the head of the chamber, where the woman in white opened the door, allowing Luo Liya and the others to finally see the daylight outside.

What entered his eyes was a green grassland, the sun's rays shone brightly on people, giving them a warm and comfortable feeling. Looking around, Luo Liya could not help but ask, "Where exactly is this place? We... Is he still in Yi City? "

The woman in white slightly shook her head. Since Luo Liya was already Master's disciple, there was no need for her to hide anything. "This is a valley made of wood."

"Valley of Wood?" Luo Liya and Fu Dongming repeated her words at the same time. In their dreams, Lu Qingyi also wanted them to go to the Wood Valley.

"Is the Valley of Wood within the borders of the Cyanwood Kingdom?" Zi Ruo asked.

"Of course not." Another different voice sounded. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. Lu Qingyi was still wearing her black clothes, but she was no longer veiled. She stood with her hands behind her back, giving off the impression of a charming young noble.

"Master." Luo Liya respectfully called out to her, clasping her hands and bowing towards her.

"Hmm, why are they here?" Lu Qingyi shifted her gaze onto Wu Kong and the rest. Her tone remained indifferent.

"Master, they insisted on following us, so I had no choice but to agree." Lu Qingyi's expression did not change when she heard this. She looked at Luo Liya and asked, "You still do not trust me, are you worried that I will harm them?"

"No, no, no." Luo Liya quickly waved her hand, "That's not what I meant, it's just that you, Master …" She paused, as if gathering enough courage, and then said softly: "You have too many secrets."

Lu Qingyi laughed heartily upon hearing this. She looked into the distance and said, "Since you are living in this world, who wouldn't have a secret? Don't worry, I won't harm anyone. I've done wrong in the past, and always want to make up for it."

Hearing her words, Luo Liya's previous prejudice towards her had completely disappeared. Such a clear look in her eyes was indeed not something that a cruel and merciless villain possessed.
