"Really? That's great!"
Upon getting a positive answer, Yuan Liuer was so excited that she almost jumped up.
"… Well, I'm not at all confident that I can pass this inner - sect test!"
Hu Ke'er said honestly.
"It's okay. As long as you're here, junior sister Ke'er, my chances of passing the inner - sect test will increase a lot! So please take me with you!"
Yuan Liuer's eyes sparkled.
"Sure, we've already agreed. See you at the Flying Tiger Hall tomorrow."
Hu Ke'er nodded and said.
"By the way, junior sister Ke'er, why don't you write your name on the sign? Wouldn't more senior brothers and sisters come to find you that way?"
Yuan Liuer asked curiously.
"This… I don't think I'm that well - known. Besides, since I don't have any cultivation base, writing my name might attract even fewer people!"
Hu Ke'er shook her head and said.
"Well, I see. Then I'll leave first."
"Bye - bye."
Hu Ke'er and Yuan Liuer waved goodbye to each other. Then Yuan Liuer left Hu Ke'er's cultivation room.
"Well, I didn't expect that I've become well - known among the outer - sect disciples. Come to think of it, defeating Wang Ning and managing the spirit - stone refining room are enough to shock other disciples!"
Hu Ke'er murmured to herself, a bit smug.
For the next few hours, no disciples came to inquire about the inner - sect test. It seemed that senior brother Chen was right. The disciples from other veins had already formed their own teams. Apart from someone like Yuan Liuer who was isolated, who else would come to ask about this?
Thinking like this, Hu Ke'er slowly got up, put away the drawn blueprints, and left the cultivation room.
"Well, it's getting late. I'd better go back to the Flying Tiger Hall first."
When Hu Ke'er came to the cultivation room, it was still broad daylight with the sun shining brightly. But now when she left, night had fallen and the sky was filled with stars.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Just as Hu Ke'er took a couple of steps, there were sounds of something breaking through the air. Then she saw several sword lights flashing past her.
"What the hell! Is it so great to be able to fly with a sword?"
Hu Ke'er was startled and couldn't help scolding.
"Ah, if only I could fly with a sword too. Then I wouldn't have to walk around so slowly!"
Although after taking the body - quenching pill, Hu Ke'er felt that her body had become much lighter and her walking speed had increased several times, no matter how fast she could run, she couldn't catch up with those flying swords.
She looked at the flying sword that had passed by her with envy and sighed softly.
"If only senior brother Chen were here. Then I could go back right away."
"Little junior sister, so you're here!"
As soon as Hu Ke'er finished speaking, a sword light suddenly hovered in front of her. Standing on the flying sword was none other than senior brother Chen Tianyi whom Hu Ke'er had just mentioned.
"Senior brother Chen, why are you here?"
Hu Ke'er asked curiously.
"Little junior sister, I came here specifically to find you. I've searched many places and finally found you!"
Chen Tianyi said softly.
"Looking for me?"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er was also curious.
"Yes."
Chen Tianyi nodded and then reached out his hand to Hu Ke'er.
"Little junior sister, come up first. Let's talk while flying!"
"Okay!"
Seeing Chen Tianyi's anxious look, Hu Ke'er didn't say a word and just grabbed Chen Tianyi's hand.
"Senior brother, where are you taking me?"
Hu Ke'er asked softly.
"Back to the Flying Tiger Hall."
Chen Tianyi replied.
"The Flying Tiger Hall? Could it be that something has happened to my master?"
Hu Ke'er frowned and asked.
"No, Uncle Zheng is fine!"
After Chen Tianyi said this, he changed the subject.
"Little junior sister, you should remember senior sister Bai Susu whom we met in the Thousand - Snow Abyss before, right?"
"Yes. Could it be that something has happened to senior sister Bai?"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er also said excitedly.
"She wasn't exactly okay in the Thousand - Snow Abyss. I'd better let your master tell you the specific situation!"
"Well, why are you being so mysterious?"
Hearing that Chen Tianyi only said half of it and then stopped, Hu Ke'er complained.
"I don't want to either. Uncle Zheng didn't tell me clearly either. He just told me that it's something about Bai Susu."
Chen Tianyi said helplessly.
"Little junior sister, we're here!"
After a while, Hu Ke'er heard Chen Tianyi's soft reminder, and then the flying sword landed steadily.
"You little brat, you're back!"
As soon as Hu Ke'er got off the flying sword, she saw that her master was already waiting for her at the door.
"Well, master, senior brother said you had something to tell me. What is it?"
Hu Ke'er asked straightforwardly.
Although she had only met Bai Susu twice, the other girl had saved her, and the image of her in white clothes that day had really made a huge impact on Hu Ke'er. She always felt that Bai Susu was like a fairy.
"It's about Bai Susu whom you met before."
"Well, what's wrong with senior sister Susu?"
Hu Ke'er asked anxiously.
"You said before that you met Bai Susu in the Thousand - Snow Abyss. Then I told this to the sect master. Finally, the sect master decided that you two should go to the Thousand - Snow Abyss again to look for Bai Susu and bring her back."
"Ah?"
Hearing her master's words, Hu Ke'er was stunned for a moment.
"Master, are you sure? Why us two? Just because we met senior sister Bai Susu before?"
Hu Ke'er asked curiously.
"Yes, that's partly the reason."
Her master nodded and said seriously, quite unlike his usual self.
"This matter is a sect secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
"But the environment in the Thousand - Snow Abyss is so harsh. With our relatively low cultivation bases, we might go there and never come back…"
Hearing Uncle Zheng's words, Chen Tianyi also argued.
"Since you already know about this, Uncle, why don't you go and look for senior sister Bai Susu yourself?"
"That's because we can't enter the Thousand - Snow Abyss."
Her master shook his head and said helplessly.
"You mean?"
Hu Ke'er asked, looking puzzled.
"I mean our generation. Our cultivation bases are too high and we'll be rejected by the Thousand - Snow Abyss. We can't enter. If there were any other way, how could we ask you two juniors to take risks? Don't worry. If you really encounter any trouble that you can't solve, just crush this jade talisman, and then you can be directly teleported back to the Flying Tiger Hall."
After saying that, her master stuffed two jade talismans into Hu Ke'er's and Chen Tianyi's hands respectively.
"I'm counting on you two for this matter. You must bring Bai Susu back."
"It's no problem to bring senior sister Bai Susu back. We'll definitely do our best. But I have something I'd like to ask you, master…"
Hu Ke'er said seriously.
