Lu Sangjiu didn't expect that even the always honest Gu Jue wouldn't give her this face.

She was silent for a moment, and then chose to play badly.

"Okay, I just lied. In fact, I wanted to enter the small world by myself. I didn't want you to come in and steal things from me. I'm just so selfish. Is there a problem?"

Xie Ningyuan: "..."

Gu Jue: "..."

Naturally, neither of them believed that she lied because she wanted to keep it to herself.

After all, they have known each other for so long, and they still have confidence in the other person's character.

It's just... when she said this, it was obvious that she didn't want to explain, and she was afraid that it would be useless for them to ask again.

So the two people who were asking for an explanation had a very tacit understanding and did not choose to ask further questions.

Xie Ningyuan turned to look at the path in front of them, "Ye Zhiyao is going over there, do you want to chase her?"

Seeing Xie Ningyuan change the subject, Lu Sangjiu breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head and said, "No need to worry."

According to the original plot, apart from the scabbard of Fengming Sword, this small world is just some traps and there are no other good things.

And the scabbard of Fengming Sword was obtained in the end only after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers. Even if Ye Zhiyao has the aura of being the heroine, the time she has now is not enough for her to do anything, but it can allow her to get ahead of others.

Thinking about it, Lu Sangjiu said again, "Actually, my original words are not completely wrong. This small world is not big, and the number of monks it can carry is indeed limited. I think you should feel it too?"

Xie Ningyuan said "Yeah", "Although my current state is considered to be at the Golden Core stage, my physical spiritual power is too strong, so although I can enter, it still has a certain impact on this place."

"After you came in, I can clearly feel that the state of this small world has become more unstable."

Lu Sangjiu nodded, "That's right, so in order not to collapse this small world directly, we must be careful when we need to do something next, and we must not use too strong moves."

It was also for this reason that she was not in a hurry to chase Ye Zhiyao... After all, judging from their relationship, if they caught up, they might start a fight on impulse, and then everyone would cool off together.

Now make it clear to the two of them in advance that you must not do anything casually. Even if you meet Ye Zhiyao again later, you will feel somewhat confident.

Xie Ningyuan was obviously aware of this, and couldn't help frowning dissatisfied, "Ye Zhiyao's luck is too good... Why does it seem like something is blessing her every time?"

Every time I wanted to kill her, I couldn't do it due to various reasons.

Ever since he entered the integration stage, it had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of wanting to kill someone but not being able to.

Lu Sangjiu was calm. After all, she had experienced this kind of frustration earlier than Xie Ningyuan and had long been used to it.

"What you feel may be right, but I think..." She smiled softly, "Protecting Ye Zhiyao may not be a thing."

Xie Ningyuan was stunned and couldn't tell whether Lu Sangjiu was talking about this normally or cursing someone.

However, she obviously didn't want to say more about this matter, but then she seemed to suddenly notice something and frowned slightly, "My consciousness can't be used anymore."

After her reminder, the other two people also felt it and nodded at the same time, "Me too."

"It seems that this small world has sealed off our consciousness."

Although I have read the book, it is not particularly detailed. It is inevitable that Lu Sangjiu is not clear on some details.

However, after thinking about it for a while, I finally figured it out. This small world is not big. If the consciousness is not blocked, you can basically explore this place by standing here with your consciousness fully open.

So she didn't say anything more and just walked forward towards the path, "Let's go."

This small world is actually more like someone's back garden. Although it is surrounded by green plants, many traces of artificial repairs can be seen vaguely, and it is not a real wild mountain forest.

It was just that it had been left unattended for a long time, and it gradually became overgrown with weeds, losing its original look.

Lu Sangjiu, who was familiar with the plot, certainly knew more than the two of them could tell.

This place should be a space mansion created by a certain power, but later this power may have fallen, so this space has become an unowned thing, hidden in the space crack near the snow mountain.

Only by chance, the entrance will appear for a moment.

At the end of this road is a small courtyard, which should be where the original owner lived.

There is also a small lake in the courtyard, and the scabbard of the Fengming Sword is sealed at the bottom of the lake.

However, from the perspective of the plot, in the end, the male and female protagonists did not find out who the owner was until they left the small world, let alone why the scabbard of Fengming Sword was here.

It can be said to be an unsolved mystery, so Lu Sangjiu is actually quite curious.

She thought that if she had extra time then, she would take a stroll in the small courtyard, and maybe she would be able to tell which senior master the owner of this place was?

While thinking, the three of them walked forward, and after turning a corner, Lu Sangjiu and the others saw Ye Zhiyao fighting a group of "trees" with their teeth and claws in front of them.

Of course, neither Lu Sangjiu nor Xie Ningyuan would be kind enough to help her. Instead, they stood where they were, observing the movement in front of them from a distance.

Only Gu Jue hesitated a little.

After several previous contacts, he could naturally tell that Ye Zhiyao's character was not very good.

But he didn't see Ye Zhiyao being vicious enough to kill people, so although he had a bad impression of her, he wasn't so disgusted that he wanted her to die.

So now that Ye Zhiyao seemed to be struggling to support him alone, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Seeing that Lu Sangjiu and the others had no intention of going over, he hesitated and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, why don't we... go over and do a favor?"

Lu Sangjiu glanced at Gu Jue in surprise when he heard this, and then realized belatedly that there were actually many things Gu Jue didn't know, so he probably didn't regard Ye Zhiyao as a complete bad guy.

She had just finished "educating" them not to learn about a person from other people's mouths, so naturally she would not say bad things about Ye Zhiyao to change Gu Jue's view of Ye Zhiyao, especially since there were many things that could not be said yet.

She was willing to believe that Gu Jue would trust her, but it was difficult to empathize with many things without seeing them with her own eyes.

For example, if she told Ye Zhiyao that she deliberately injured Luo Linlang in the ring competition, Gu Jue would definitely believe her.

But without seeing Luo Linlang's misery at that time, he would inevitably have thoughts such as "the injury shouldn't be that serious" or "could it be a misunderstanding".

Even if he didn't say it on the spot, he promised not to save Ye Zhiyao, but after seeing Ye Zhiyao's misery with his own eyes, he couldn't say he regretted it, and even had a vague impression of Lu Sangjiu.

It wasn't that Lu Sangjiu didn't trust Gu Jue's character, but human nature was like this many times, and she had to think more about it.

So after a moment of silence, Lu Sangjiu handed the choice back to Gu Jue, "Fellow Daoist Xie and I will not save her, but if you want to save her, I won't stop you."
