Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 50 Sect Grand Competition (25)

In the blink of an eye, Luo Zai Shui was teleported to a certain place in the secret realm. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not teleported to a monster's lair.

The location of the personal disciple's teleportation is random, but for the people of Xianyun Peak, finding someone is not difficult, especially finding Shi Ming.

The red string tied around her wrist faintly glowed red. If Shi Ming wanted to find her, he could follow the red string to find her. It was tied by Ji Yun when she and Shi Ming went down into the secret realm together. Ji Yun was afraid they would get lost, so she tied it together. But later, Ji Yun died, and the red string connected to her broke, leaving only the red string between her and Shi Ming.

Over the years, they have kept the red string in case they get separated one day; it's also a kind of cheat code for them to find each other.

Luo Zai Shui channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the red rope, sensing Shi Ming's location. Realizing that he was still quite a distance away, Luo Zai Shui pondered for a moment, then decisively gave up and decided to find someone else first.

Four tracking talismans flew out in four directions at the same time. Luo Zai Shui tried to sense them and thought that Shi Ming was far enough away, but he didn't expect that the four of them were even farther away. Luo Zai Shui had no choice but to go and meet up with Shi Ming first.

On her way to find Shi Ming, Luo Zai Shui was also busy. She dealt with any monsters she encountered along the way, dug out their demon cores and put them directly into her storage bag. She also dug up any rare herbs she came across. No one would have guessed that she came to the Grand Competition; she was clearly there to plunder treasures in the secret realm!

But no one is saying anything bad about her now, because there's no one around here.

Good heavens! With so many disciples, Luo Zai Shui walked for over an hour and didn't encounter a single one.

At this point, Luo Zai Shui couldn't help but wonder how big this secret realm was. Logically speaking, the secret realms used in the Grand Competition were all small secret realms, because in the end, a fierce battle to eliminate opponents was inevitable. In a secret realm as large as this, they probably wouldn't even encounter a single person after the secret realm ended.

However, the larger the secret realm, the greater the opportunities and risks. The Wen family's actions... suggest they're planning something else.

The first thing Shi Ming did upon entering the secret realm was to determine the locations of his junior brothers and sisters. He discovered that the closest person to him was Luo Zai Shui, so he set off to find her. However, after walking for a long time, he found himself back in the same place, and only then did he realize that something was wrong.

He always has a good sense of direction and wouldn't get lost. There's no yin energy here, so it's probably not a ghost wall. Therefore, he might have triggered some kind of restriction within the secret realm.

Sensing that Luo Zai Shui Zhen was approaching, Shi Ming couldn't help but feel anxious, but the scenery here was normal, and Shi Ming didn't know how to solve the problem for a while.

Luo Zai Shui never expected that the first people she would encounter were from Penglai Pavilion. However, they had no intention of making a move. The group nodded to each other, which was considered a greeting.

She didn't want to deal with this group of people. Although they were all cultivators, Penglai Pavilion always kept its doors closed and acted mysteriously. They were scheming and calculating in order to achieve their goals, so it was best to have as little interaction as possible.

"Miss Luo, please wait."

One of the boys called out to her.

Luo Zai Shui instantly became alert: "You know my name?"

She swears to God that she has never had any dealings with this group of people.

The little girl beside her muttered, "That's what Heaven tells us."

"What?" Luo Zai Shui didn't understand what they wanted to say and turned to leave.

The little boy blocked her way: "Miss, you shouldn't go over there. Fate is hard to defy."

That direction was where Shi Ming was. Luo Zai Shui originally didn't want to hit the child, but sometimes you have to make an exception.

She sneered, "Are your calculations really that accurate?"

The boy nodded with a hint of pride: "We are disciples of the Penglai Bu Suanzi."

Luo Zai Shui didn't even draw her sword, but casually conjured the peach blossom that her grandmaster had given her before: "What if I insist on going today?"

The boy casually conjured a chessboard: "Then I can only obey fate and stop you, young lady. Your cultivation is below mine, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Zai Shui had already whipped him four or five times with a peach branch.

"Did your master foresee that you would get beaten up today?"

"you……"

"Mingling!" Seeing her companion being beaten, the girl also wanted to step forward and help.

Luo Zai Shui was exceptionally lenient with the little girl. She didn't lay a hand on her, but instead snatched the waist tag from the girl's waist and broke it in two without hesitation.

"Mingwen!"

Seeing his companion being sent away, Ming Ling seemed a little anxious and tried to use his magic weapon, but Luo Zai Shui kicked him away and then snatched his waist token without saying a word. Before breaking the waist token, Luo Zai Shui smiled and said to him, "Go back and practice some more. Remember to give my regards to your master."

Bu Suanzi was furious when he saw the disciples who had been gone for less than half an incense stick's time. He was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring. But when he heard them say that a Qi Refining stage disciple named Luo Zaishui had eliminated them, he immediately said that he was fine.

Just kidding. Back when he was traveling around, it was that little devil Ji Yun who, along with that little devil Luo Zai Shui, burned his beard. It's not surprising that his disciple got beaten up.

Mingling was clearly still unconvinced: "She's just relying on her more fighting experience than me, otherwise I could beat her too! Wait until I'm older..."

Bu Suanzi stroked his beard: "By the time you grow up, this girl will probably be gone."

Back then, he was chased and beaten up just because he said "you'll die young" in front of those three brats. It's a miracle that this girl is still alive.

“That’s not right, Master.” Mingwen, who hadn’t spoken until now, suddenly frowned. “Why can’t I calculate her fate?”

The old man patted Mingwen's head: "That's because your skills are too shallow. Back then, I could tell at a glance that that girl was destined for bad luck. Fate is cruel. She was originally a chosen one."

The little girl didn't believe it and tried to calculate it again: "I just can't figure it out. I just figured out in the secret realm that she was going to find her senior brother, but I can't figure out anything else."

After listening to his apprentice's words, the fortune teller simply closed his eyes and made a divination for Luo Zai Shui. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he murmured, "Amazing! There is a glimmer of hope in this fate. I don't know if it is the mercy of Heaven or something he fought for himself."

Upon hearing this, Mingling began to shout again, "Master, didn't you say that the way of Heaven is hard to defy? How could her fate possibly be changed?"

Bu Suanzi gazed ahead: "The way of Heaven is hard to defy, but human effort can make a difference. There is a glimmer of hope for her in this secret realm, but it concerns others, so it is hard to say whether it will be a blessing or a curse. Fortunately, you came out in advance. If something had really happened, you two would definitely have suffered."

What was the old man muttering about my apprentice?

When Bu Suanzi met Xie Jing's gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and the fear he had felt years ago when he was personally controlled by Xianyun Peak surged back up.

"It's nothing, nothing. I just calculated that your disciple might have a better chance of survival in this secret realm, and I was just about to congratulate Immortal Venerable Xie."

Xie Jing raised an eyebrow. Whether it was the fortune teller's imagination or not, the person seemed to be in a better mood.

Xie Jing didn't waste any more words with him, simply saying, "Her chance at life was earned by herself, and has nothing to do with the will of Heaven," before hurriedly leaving.
