"What's the matter? What's the mental preparation?" Yue'er asked, wrinkling her nose.
The lion looked at the dark sky outside and said, "When I advanced earlier, three thunders sounded. I'm afraid that they must have alarmed the descendants of Emperor Xiaotian. They should have known that a divine beast was born in this forest. Since they knew that a divine beast was born, they would definitely send people in to look for it, so..."
"So if they come in to look for you, they might run into me!" Yue Er now realized the seriousness of the situation. If she was caught, who knows what would happen to her? This place is a place where no one can help her. Even if she wanted to ask for help, no one would know she was here!
She stood up and walked back and forth in the cave, muttering: "Let me think about it, there will be a way..."
As the night deepened, the forest after the rain was filled with the scent of earth and leaves, and the wind blew into the cave, bringing cool breezes.
The lion was worried that his little master would catch a cold, so he let her sleep next to him, using his body temperature and fur to keep her warm.
Because of the master-servant contract, Yue'er felt relieved and didn't have to worry about the lion hurting her. After all, one of the strict rules of the master-servant contract was that if the master died, the contracted beast would not survive.
After thinking for a long time and still not being able to come up with a solution, Yue Er had no choice but to curl up next to the lion and sleep...
The next morning, at the Immortal Mansion, the disciples, both young and old, stood in front of an open space in an orderly manner, listening to the lecture and instructions of the head of the family.
"This time, we let you go into the forest to train in order to enhance your adaptability and combat capabilities. Remember, Xiao family members, you must support each other at all times. You must remember the first rule of the family: you must never attack your own family members."
Patriarch Xiao stood in front with his hands behind his back, giving instructions. After hearing everyone's respectful response, he said, "Once you enter the forest, everything will depend on you to support each other. You must ensure your own safety. You are going in to gain experience and improve your combat effectiveness, not to die. If you encounter danger that you cannot handle, remember to crush the jade token and teleport back immediately."
"Yes!" everyone responded again.
"Great Elder, take them to the teleportation array!" Patriarch Xiao instructed the old man beside him.
"Okay." The Great Elder responded and led everyone to the teleportation array.
After watching them leave, Patriarch Xiao looked around, frowned, and asked, "Why didn't Jun Yan come? Did you tell him?"
A middle-aged man at the back stepped forward and said, "I told you, Patriarch, the young master left early in the morning."
Hearing this, the Xiao family head was silent for a while, then sighed, "That child is naturally cold and indifferent. There are some outstanding children in the family, but none of them can catch his eye and befriend him. I wanted Jun Heng to go with him, but I didn't expect that he would leave first."
“Patriarch, there is no need to worry about the young master. The young master is the most powerful and talented offspring in the Xiao family in hundreds of years. Even the ancestor praises him highly. There will be no problem if he acts alone.” said the middle-aged man.
"Go and tell Jun Heng to look for Jun Yan in the forest. It's best to act with him. After all, he is a divine beast." The head of the Xiao family said worriedly.
