"Come out quickly, I'll give you one last chance."
Chu Lingwei had already begun chanting incantations, determined to force this person out.
Just then, a light laugh reached Chu Lingwei's ears, making her pause.
"Senior Brother?"
"Junior Sister, you really know how to stir up trouble." Leng Xingzhi appeared before Chu Lingwei, sighing helplessly.
"Senior Brother, why are you here?" Seeing her Senior Brother, Chu Lingwei was overjoyed. She had thought she wouldn't see him for a long time.
Leng Xingzhi looked at the joy on his Junior Sister's face, took a step forward, and gently brushed a strand of hair from her ear. "Junior Sister, if you've encountered such a big problem, how could your Senior Brother possibly let you be bullied?"
Hearing her Senior Brother's words, Chu Lingwei's nose felt a sting. For some reason, she felt wronged.
"Don't worry, with Senior Brother here, no one will dare to bully you." Leng Xingzhi stepped forward and gently pulled Chu Lingwei into his arms.
Chu Lingwei was suddenly held in her Senior Brother's embrace, smelling his familiar scent. She was completely stunned. When had she become so close to her Senior Brother?
"Senior Brother, why did you suddenly appear here?" Chu Lingwei, her face flushed, withdrew from her Senior Brother's embrace, unable to look him in the eye.
"They sent me the message."
Leng Xingzhi looked at his Junior Sister's slightly red cheeks and chuckled softly. "With such a significant event happening, didn't you think of sending me a message?"
"Senior Brother was in seclusion. I thought my message wouldn't reach you." Chu Lingwei's voice held a hint of annoyance as she recalled that her Senior Brother hadn't emerged from seclusion even when she left.
"How could that be? As long as it's a message from Junior Sister, I will definitely receive it." Leng Xingzhi walked to the window and looked at the moon in the sky. "Junior Sister, do you know why the moon here is larger than the moon on the Xuan Tian Continent?"
Chu Lingwei walked closer to Leng Xingzhi and looked up. "Why?"
"Because it is the formation eye of this island." Leng Xingzhi looked at the moon in the sky, never imagining that the Meng family would place the formation eye in the sky.
"Formation eye?"
Meng Lingwei was surprised. Only when one was within a formation would there be a formation eye. "Senior Brother means that we are now within a great formation."
"Yes, as long as the Meng family wishes, no one who enters this great formation can ever leave." Leng Xingzhi lightly tapped Junior Sister's head. "In the future, don't casually board other men's spiritual artifacts."
"Why would they do this?" Chu Lingwei was startled. The Meng family could actually set up such a large formation. Were there Supreme Realm and Dominator Realm powerful beings here? Had none of them discovered it?
The Meng family is truly formidable.
"They naturally have their reasons." Leng Xingzhi was unwilling to answer this question.
Chu Lingwei followed behind Leng Xingzhi, thinking in the guise of Meng Qinghe. "Senior Brother, is the Meng family very powerful?"
"Very powerful." Leng Xingzhi nodded. "The absence of news from the Meng family on the Xuan Tian Continent does not mean they are indifferent to matters there. On the contrary, the Meng family exists in every town and city on the Xuan Tian Continent."
Chu Lingwei gasped. She seemed to understand the formidable nature of the Meng family.
"Who is more powerful, the Meng family or the Leng family?" Chu Lingwei became interested. Her Senior Brother was also the young master of the Leng family. She really wanted to know which of their families was stronger.
"Who does Junior Sister hope is more powerful?" Leng Xingzhi laughed, looking at his Junior Sister teasingly.
"Of course, I hope the Leng family is more powerful." Chu Lingwei pouted. If the Meng family was more powerful, wouldn't she have no place to shelter in the future?
Thinking about it, she felt a little unlucky.
"Then the Leng family is a bit more powerful." Leng Xingzhi smiled down, finding it rare for his Junior Sister to have worries.
"Senior Brother, have your injuries healed?" Chu Lingwei knew that her Senior Brother's seclusion was not for cultivation, but for healing.
"When has Senior Brother ever been injured?" Leng Xingzhi retorted.
Chu Lingwei fell silent. Her Senior Brother did not want to admit that he was injured.
"Junior Sister, let's go. I'll take you around. Staying here all the time must be very boring." Leng Xingzhi stood up, and led Chu Lingwei out of the restaurant with great composure, heading towards the most prosperous area of Song City.
"I heard that there will be a rare treasure at the auction大会 in a few days. Is Junior Sister interested?" With Leng Xingzhi walking beside Chu Lingwei, the scrutinizing gazes disappeared.
"Not interested."
Chu Lingwei shook her head. She used to have a little interest, but now she didn't. "No matter how powerful a treasure is, it's still related to cultivation."
"Junior Sister is quite insightful."
Leng Xingzhi stopped and stood before a shop selling spirit beasts, then strode in.
Chu Lingwei quickly followed. This spirit beast shop specialized in aquatic spirit beasts, mostly young ones that looked very interesting.
"Junior Sister, do you like any?" Leng Xingzhi followed Chu Lingwei's gaze, looking at these aquatic spirit beasts. "We don't have these spirit beasts on the Xuan Tian Continent. We can buy some to take back."
"That's a good idea. I believe Third Brother will definitely like it very much." Third Brother is a beast tamer. He would surely love these rare spirit beasts. Buying some to give to him would be nice.
Chu Lingwei called over a waiter and asked him to pack up all the young spirit beasts from the shop.
"All of them?" The waiter had never encountered a customer buying spirit beasts like this before.
"Yes, pack them directly into spirit beast bags." Chu Lingwei nodded. Senior Brother is a big spender; he certainly wouldn't lack spirit stones to buy some spirit beasts.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll do it right away." The waiter reacted and quickly called over the nearby shop assistants, starting to select the best young spirit beasts to pack. People who could buy so many spirit beasts at once were not people they could afford to offend.
Chu Lingwei watched them pack the young spirit beasts one by one, feeling a sense of fondness. These little spirit beasts, when young, had all sorts of appearances, many of them cute and adorable.
"Junior Sister, do you have any favorites?"
Leng Xingzhi wanted Chu Lingwei to buy him a personal spirit beast. "In the future, when we go out for training, we'll inevitably encounter water. Having a water spirit beast would be much more convenient."
"None that catch my eye." If she wanted to add companions, Chu Lingwei hoped to find a spirit beast she liked at first sight. Besides, she didn't lack spirit beasts. Third Brother had given her so many strange and exotic spirit beasts that she couldn't even take care of them all; she didn't want to add more.
Leng Xingzhi paid the spirit stones and continued to stroll with Chu Lingwei.
Chu Lingwei spent the entire day shopping.
"You said, will I spend all of Senior Brother's spirit stones?" Chu Lingwei looked at her haul and felt a little worried.
"How could that be? Senior Brother is so wealthy. How could he run out of money just by buying these things?" The phantom cat said, its small body jumping up. "Young Master Meng has arrived."
