The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Standing at the alley entrance, Shen Yunzhou seemed to have thought of something, and immediately lowered his head, pretending as if he heard nothing.

That time, he was still on the lookout outside.

Shen Hanyi did not explain anything further and continued, "Now you find yourself alone in this Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty. If any mishap were to occur, how could I face him?"

Lu Yaoyao lowered her head in silence.

"I am also searching with all my strength," Shen Hanyi suddenly countered, "But if we really were to find him and yet can’t find you, what then?"

Lu Yaoyao’s heart trembled, a look of struggle appeared in her eyes.

"Why are you still standing there?" The next moment, Shen Hanyi suddenly turned to Shen Yunzhou.

Her tone suddenly turned stern, "Your group of friends are everywhere, aren’t they? Hurry and go gather some news!"

Shen Yunzhou shuddered all over, and quickly responded, "Sister, don’t worry, the net has already been cast wide, Brother Zhou will surely return safely!"

Shen Hanyi’s expression eased a little, she gently grasped Lu Yaoyao’s wrist and her voice softened, "Let’s go home, shall we?"

Lu Yaoyao slowly raised her head, the eyes beneath her mask glistening, and finally uttered a soft "mm".

Under the veil, Shen Hanyi’s tightly pressed lips finally relaxed.

She cast a faint glance at Shen Yunzhou, who immediately understood and quickly turned to leave.

...

Seven days later!

A Flying Ship broke through the clouds and mist, an old hen standing on the deck with its tongue turned out by the fierce wind, drool flying.

No matter how you looked at it, its appearance was quite foolish.

Zhou Qing had originally been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a stir in his heart, and abruptly opened his eyes.

He quickly took out the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace Token, and saw a blue light dot suddenly light up on the back.

Without uttering a word, he immediately piloted the Flying Ship to dive down, landing in a desolate mountain area.

He hurriedly carved out a simple Cave Mansion and inserted Spirit Stones to charge the Token.

When his Heart and Spirit were drawn into the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace, Shen Hanyi had already started her simulation in the Desolate Forbidden area.

"The Supreme Tribulation is so dangerous, are you really that eager to brave the Three-Flower Tribulation? You don’t think of the child at all."

Zhou Qing looked at the blue screen and couldn’t help but grumble.

But ultimately, he didn’t enter immediately and chose to wait quietly.

These past days, he felt uneasy, his mind filled with thoughts of Shen Hanyi and the child.

He desired nothing more than to question face-to-face immediately, but knowing her nature, she would absolutely deny it.

If the child were truly his, and now that the pregnancy was showing, why, with her icy demeanor, wouldn’t she transform the fetus into a spirit?

So, he’s been waiting for Shen Hanyi to log on these days.

Don’t forget, in the void through those years, the [Random Sticker] had refreshed two new stickers.

One was the [Mind-Reading Sticker] which could perceive a target’s innermost thoughts for three days.

The other was the [You Can Do It Sticker], urging others to take risks and sharing half of the gains upon success.

So, this time, he wanted to use the [Mind-Reading Sticker] on Shen Hanyi. Not three days, even if it was just for three breaths, he wouldn’t feel it’s wasted.

He’s now eager to know if the child is truly his.

He waited for half an incense stick time, and finally, a stroke of blue light leapt out from the screen, converging into a blue light sphere.

"What a coincidence!" Zhou Qing spoke first.

"Senior." Shen Hanyi’s voice remained aloof and distant.

Although the last time there was indeed some offense, it was after all she who first fell short of expectations and even lied.

Zhou Qing forced himself to remain calm, "Last time, didn’t you say there was some perilous terrain in the restricted zone that was hard to pass? Maybe that Three-Flower Corpse is hiding there."

"Let this old man have a look, perhaps I can help."

Shen Hanyi pondered for a moment but, surprisingly, did not refuse this time, "Then, I’ll trouble you, Senior."

Then a red and a blue stream of light swiftly entered the screen.

Once both figures were evident, Zhou Qing immediately locked onto Shen Hanyi, secretly activating the [Mind-Reading Sticker].

His heart thumped like a drum, but he forcibly restrained himself — last time was already abrupt, this time he couldn’t act too hastily again, to avoid causing displeasure.

Looking around, the Desolate Forbidden area was still hustling and bustling.

Zhou Qing feigned a relaxed manner as he asked, "It’s been a while since we sang love songs together, how have you been determining which of those ships has the key to pass through all these years each time you come in?"
