"It's okay, junior sister. Let's just observe here for a while. Rushing over now might only cause trouble for Senior Sister Bai Susu."
Chen Tianyi said in a hushed tone, his eyes fixed firmly on the red beam of light not far away.
"Alright then. But senior brother, don't forget to take me with you if you decide to go over later."
Seeing Chen Tianyi's serious profile, Hu Ke'er agreed and didn't act rashly again.
"It looks really dangerous over there. Are you sure you still want to go later?"
Chen Tianyi turned his head back, frowning as he glanced at Hu Ke'er with concern.
"Senior brother, it's better not to leave me alone here. It feels even more dangerous."
Hu Ke'er pouted and said.
"Okay then. If Senior Sister Bai Susu manages to deal with that red beam later, we'll go over and say hello and see if we can take her back to the Flying Tiger Hall. But if she's in trouble, we'll step in to help. Judging from the situation, it's probably going to be quite a hassle."
"Hey, is that red beam really that powerful that even Senior Sister Bai Susu can't handle it?"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er asked in confusion.
"Yes. The energy emanating from that red beam is at least at the peak of the late stage of the God Transformation realm. It might even be a bit stronger than Senior Sister Bai Susu."
"I see."
Hu Ke'er nodded thoughtfully and then looked towards the red beam. She saw a white figure charging straight towards it and then being swallowed up by the red beam.
"Ah, is Senior Sister Bai Susu..."
"Come with me."
While Hu Ke'er was still in shock, Chen Tianyi quickly grabbed her hand and flew towards the red beam on his flying sword.
"Is Senior Sister Bai Susu okay?"
Hu Ke'er asked with a worried look on her face.
"Take a look for yourself."
Chen Tianyi frowned as he flew towards the red beam. When the flying sword got very close to it, Hu Ke'er could finally make out a blurry figure slowly moving inside the red beam.
"Is that Senior Sister Bai Susu?"
"Probably."
Chen Tianyi also saw the blurry figure in the beam.
"It seems Senior Sister Bai is okay..."
"Boom!"
Before Chen Tianyi could finish his sentence, the red light of the beam suddenly intensified and engulfed both of them.
"Ahhhh!"
Hu Ke'er was startled and let out a scream. Then she felt as if she was being wrapped in something soft. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a cyan Taoist robe.
"Junior sister, are you okay?"
Hu Ke'er tilted her head slightly in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Tianyi looking worried.
"I'm okay. Thank you, Senior Brother Chen."
Hu Ke'er moved a little, and Chen Tianyi let go of his arms around her.
"Good, as long as you're okay."
"Yeah."
"What are you two doing here?"
Just as Hu Ke'er blushed and was too embarrassed to look at Chen Tianyi, a cold voice came. Hu Ke'er and Chen Tianyi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Senior Sister Bai Susu.
Bai Susu was holding a long sword in her hand, and her expression was as cold as ice and snow.
"Were you peeping?"
"No, no, no. Of course not."
Hu Ke'er quickly waved her hands and denied.
"Senior Sister Bai Susu, can you let us land first and then we'll explain?"
Feeling Bai Susu's full hostility, Hu Ke'er asked cautiously.
"Sure."
Bai Susu nodded slightly, and Chen Tianyi slowly controlled the flying sword to land.
"Senior Sister Bai Susu, we actually came here to find you."
As soon as Hu Ke'er landed, she quickly explained their purpose.
"To find me?"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Bai Susu frowned slightly.
"Yes."
Hu Ke'er nodded.
"What for?"
"Uncle Zheng sent us."
Chen Tianyi said.
"The drunkard? Didn't he stop caring about me a long time ago? Why does he want me to go back now?"
Bai Susu said indifferently and then sheathed the long sword at her waist.
"Master is quite worried about you, so he hopes you can go back with us."
Seeing Bai Susu sheathe the sword, Hu Ke'er stepped forward and said.
"I'm not going."
Bai Susu refused flatly.
"Huh?"
Hearing Bai Susu's refusal, Hu Ke'er was stunned for a moment.
Originally, Hu Ke'er thought the most difficult part of this mission would be finding Senior Sister Bai Susu in the Thousand Snow Forbidden Land. But now it seemed that persuading Bai Susu to return to Mount Longhu was even more troublesome.
"Why? Uncle Zheng is still waiting for you to go back!"
"No reason. It's too boring on Mount Longhu."
Bai Susu said calmly.
"Moreover, I still haven't found the flying sword that was lost because of your interference. If I go back now, just the punishment for losing the Mingyue Sword would probably send me back here again. The spiritual energy here is much richer than outside. I can cultivate much faster here than outside!"
"This..."
Hearing Bai Susu's words, Hu Ke'er didn't know what to say for a moment. She turned her head slightly and looked at Chen Tianyi for help.
"Senior Sister Bai Susu, don't worry. This time Uncle Zheng and the sect master sent us to find you. They probably won't hold you accountable for losing the Mingyue Sword. And now we can refine super - high - purity spirit stones. After you go out, cultivating with those should be even faster than here."
Chen Tianyi said.
"But I will hold myself accountable."
Bai Susu said in a cold tone.
"It's getting late. The nights here are very tough. If you two don't want to die here, go back quickly!"
"No. If you don't go back, Senior Sister Bai Susu, we won't leave either!"
"… Do as you like."
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Bai Susu said coldly and then turned around and walked towards the distance.
"Senior Brother Chen, what should we do now?"
Seeing Bai Susu turn around and leave without hesitation, Hu Ke'er looked at Chen Tianyi helplessly.
"Let's follow her first. Senior Sister Bai Susu has been here for so long, so she should be more familiar with the terrain here than we are."
"Okay."
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er quickly quickened her pace and followed.
"Senior Sister Bai Susu, think about it again~ You definitely won't be punished when you go back. Master sent us to take you back definitely not to punish you."
"Yeah, all they want is the Mingyue Sword."
Bai Susu didn't even look at Hu Ke'er and continued walking straight ahead.
"Don't waste your breath. I won't go back until I subdue the Mingyue Sword!"
