"Do you have a better idea?"
Mei Ji looked at Chu Lingwei. Those people couldn't enter this restaurant, but the outside was completely surrounded. The only way to leave was to disguise themselves.
"Are you sure this method is effective?"
Those people outside were all cultivators of the Heavenly Transformation realm. Mei Ji's disguise might not escape their eyes.
"Whether there's a way or not, we have to try." Her distress message had been sent for so long, and there was still no response. It seemed they wouldn't come to save her.
Although she seemed safe now, the longer she stayed here, the smaller her chances of escape.
She had to rely on her own abilities to escape quickly. As long as she could shake off those people outside, she would have a chance to survive.
"I'm really curious, how did you offend those people outside?" Chu Lingwei looked at the powerful cultivators outside, none of whom seemed easy to deal with.
Mei Ji chuckled, her entire waist swaying with her laughter.
At this moment, she looked like a seductive flower. Fortunately, she was a woman; if she were a man, she might not be able to resist.
"Those people outside are simply scoundrels. They lost and were not convinced, so they came to seek revenge."
"Did you kill one of their people?" Seeking revenge implied a deep-seated hatred.
"We killed one of their elders. They couldn't let it go, and there was nothing I could do." Mei Ji thought of the old man and felt annoyed. Who knew that old man held such an important position?
If she had known earlier, she should have been more discreet. Now, causing such big trouble for herself was extremely bothersome.
"Those outside know your identity. Even if you run back, they might pursue you to your Joyous Union Sect." Chu Lingwei said frankly.
"If they dare to chase me to the Joyous Union Sect, I guarantee they will be so enchanted they won't want to leave, not even half a step." Mei Ji smiled and stepped forward, gently lifting Chu Lingwei's chin, her eyes filled with seduction. "Weiwei, would you like to visit our Joyous Union Sect?"
Chu Lingwei slapped Mei Ji's hand away and sneered, "You should focus on how to leave here first."
The seductive look in Mei Ji's eyes vanished, and she sighed, "Weiwei, why did you let your senior brother leave so early? Otherwise, these people would never dare to be so arrogant."
"Even if my senior brother hadn't left, he probably wouldn't have saved you."
Senior Brother was always aloof; he wouldn't save someone for no reason.
Mei Ji's expression froze. Her words left her speechless.
"Weiwei, quickly disguise yourself and help me cover my tracks." Mei Ji took a deep breath, her expression serious. "If I escape this time, I will reward you handsomely."
"Alright, then I'll await your generous reward."
Chu Lingwei changed her clothes and, with the phantom cat transformed into a small kitten, walked out of the restaurant.
As soon as she stepped out, several gazes subtly swept over her.
Chu Lingwei didn't give them time to analyze her identity. She immediately summoned her magical artifact and flew up, quickly heading out of the city.
"Weiwei, someone is following us."
Just as she flew a short distance, several figures quickly followed behind her. The phantom cat whispered a reminder.
"Let's speed up." It seemed those people would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Chu Lingwei couldn't help but increase her speed.
The figures behind her also accelerated.
Finally, they left the vicinity of the Profound Heart Sect's market. Chu Lingwei stopped and turned around.
"Who are you people? Why are you following me?"
The people behind her quickly surrounded Chu Lingwei, exuding killing intent. "Mei Ji, come and pay with your life today!"
"Who is Mei Ji? Can't you even tell people apart?" Chu Lingwei took out her token from the Spirit Cultivation Academy. "I am Chu Lingwei, a disciple of the Spirit Cultivation Academy. Are you trying to kill me?"
Seeing the item in her hand, the people surrounding Chu Lingwei were stunned and cursed, "A diversion."
Chu Lingwei's identity was known to everyone in the world; no one dared to plot against her.
"Apologies."
In less than a breath, Chu Lingwei was alone, with no one around her.
"Weiwei, where are we going now?" The phantom cat purred softly. Those people were still sensible.
"Chen He Forest."
Chang Chuan had said that her father had gone to Chen He Forest. Chu Lingwei wanted to find him.
"Alright, let's set off now."
Feng Ming jumped out of the spirit beast bag. Going to Chen He Forest sounded like an interesting place.
They sat on a flying artifact and headed towards Chen He Forest.
"I wonder if Mei Ji escaped?" The phantom cat thought of Mei Ji, who had left with them. Those were all cultivators of the Heavenly Transformation realm. Capturing a small cultivator of the Spirit Wheel realm would be too easy.
"She's not an ordinary disciple; she must have a life-saving means."
Every sect's personal disciples are given life-saving means by their masters. If they died so easily, their masters would be exhausted.
"That's true."
The phantom cat nodded its little head, contemplating its own life-saving means. It seemed every time, it was Weiwei who protected them.
"Weiwei, I heard Chen He Forest is extremely dangerous, full of perils. Even Spirit Wheel realm disciples dare not enter."
"With us here, we will definitely protect Weiwei." Feng Ming glared at the phantom cat. Her combat power was currently very strong; she could even fight against a Heavenly Transformation realm cultivator without breaking a sweat, so she could definitely protect Weiwei.
"I'm just going to find my father. I won't go to dangerous places."
Chu Lingwei was not going to Chen He Forest for training; she just wanted to find her father.
"Why did my father go to so many places?" Chu Lingwei thought of her father. In such a short period, the places he visited were all extremely dangerous and thousands of miles apart. Was there any inevitable connection between these places?
"This..."
The phantom cat and Feng Ming exchanged glances. They couldn't figure it out either.
"Perhaps, we'll only know the answer when we see Father." Chu Lingwei believed that her father had his reasons for going to those places.
A month later, Chu Lingwei arrived at the outskirts of Chen He Forest, Chen He Town.
Every place for trials always had a supply point outside, which gradually formed a small town with everything.
Chu Lingwei found an inn and settled down.
"I didn't expect a place for trials to be so lively." Feng Ming rested her chin on the window sill, watching the cultivators on the street. They walked in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, with no sign of the tension of a trial.
"You only know about excitement all day long."
The phantom cat glanced at Chu Lingwei and then moved to her side. "Weiwei, are we really entering the forest tomorrow?"
"Yes." Chu Lingwei opened her eyes, stood up, and walked to the window.
