Ye Qingxue stood up from the bed and bowed to Ye Xi very respectfully.
"Pavilion Master, I am indeed a bit exhausted, so I will head to the room next door to rest first."
After speaking, Ye Qingxue strode out of the room.
After a long journey, and having just restored Ling Yuan's injuries, Ye Qingxue was indeed feeling exhausted now.
After Ye Qingxue left the room, Ling Yuan walked to Ye Xi's bedside and asked, "Young Miss, is there anything we need to do now?"
Hearing Ling Yuan's question, Ye Xi stretched her waist and waved her hand at Ling Yuan.
"We don't need to do anything right now. Just keep an eye on the situation at Shrek Academy and wait for them to head to the Star Dou Great Forest."
After speaking, Ye Xi leaned back and lay directly on the soft and comfortable big bed.
Watching Ye Xi's somewhat lazy appearance, Ling Yuan smiled, did not ask any more questions, and silently exited Ye Xi's room.
...
Days passed by one by one.
After resting in Suotuo City for three days, Ye Qingxue returned to Heaven Dou City.
Ye Xi and Ling Yuan remained in Suotuo City. During this time, Ling Yuan went to Shrek Academy every day to secretly scout the situation at Shrek Academy.
A month later, after Ling Yuan finished scouting Shrek Academy, she returned directly to the hotel where Ye Xi was staying.
In the hotel room, Ye Xi was lying lazily on the bed, while Ling Yuan stood quietly by the bedside, reporting the situation at Shrek Academy to Ye Xi.
"Young Miss, according to my observations, the people from Shrek Academy should be heading to the Star Dou Great Forest soon."
Just as Ling Yuan finished speaking, she saw Ye Xi sit up from the bed, looking at Ling Yuan with her azure blue eyes.
"Can you be sure?"
Ye Xi asked softly, a flash of imperceptible sharpness passing through her eyes.
"It shouldn't be wrong."
"Based on my observations, the spirit power of that food system Spirit Master in Shrek Academy has reached a Bottleneck. Since the Spirit Beast forest closest to Suotuo City is the Star Dou Great Forest, they shouldn't abandon the near to seek the far and go to other Spirit Beast forests."
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yuan answered Ye Xi's question very seriously.
"Ling Yuan, then let's make a move first."
Ye Xi stood up from the bed, changed into an outfit convenient for movement, and then took Ling Yuan out of the hotel, heading in one direction.
The next day, early morning.
Shrek Academy.
On the somewhat empty playground, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the other seven were standing in a row, their gazes quietly fixed on Zhao Wuji in front.
"Mubai, for this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, you will lead the team."
"Although I will go with you, I will not make a move unless it is absolutely necessary."
As Zhao Wuji spoke, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked out of Shrek Academy first.
After making some simple arrangements, Dai Mubai led Tang San and the others to follow Zhao Wuji's pace.
Not long after they left, three figures hiding in the shadows also followed silently. Among these three figures, one was Tang Hao, and the other two were Ye Xi and Ling Yuan.
Under Zhao Wuji's lead, Dai Mubai and the others moved quickly toward the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, while Tang Hao remained hidden in the shadows, quietly following them.
Ye Xi and Ling Yuan were following unhurriedly at the very back. With Ling Yuan masking their presence, even Tang Hao did not discover their existence.
After a long journey, Zhao Wuji brought Dai Mubai and the others into the range of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Walking in the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhao Wuji led Dai Mubai and the group deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
"How to find a suitable Spirit Beast and hunt it is your business."
"I will not make a move."
While speaking, Zhao Wuji slowed his pace, letting Dai Mubai walk at the very front of the team.
"The outermost edge of the Star Dou Great Forest basically only contains some hundred-year Spirit Beasts. Let's go deeper."
Dai Mubai said, looking at Tang San and the others, asking for their opinions.
"Hmm, let's go a bit deeper and find a suitable thousand-year spirit ring for Little Ao."
After Tang San nodded in agreement, he looked at Oscar.
The others also agreed with Dai Mubai's proposal one after another.
Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape sitting in front of the Life Lake gradually stood up after sensing Xiao Wu's aura.
"It's Big Sister Xiao Wu's aura."
"You go over first, I will observe from the shadows."
The Sky Azure Bull Python's body emerged from the Life Lake, its massive gaze looking forward, a hint of coldness appearing in its eyes.
The Titan Giant Ape did not speak, but after nodding to the Sky Azure Bull Python, its massive body rushed toward the direction where Xiao Wu was. The trees blocking the way were casually knocked down by the Titan Giant Ape.
The Sky Azure Bull Python came out of the Life Lake and also headed in the direction of Xiao Wu, but the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape kept a distance from each other.
The Sky Azure Bull Python needed to verify whether what Ye Xi had said to them back then was true or false.
...
On the other side.
On an ancient tree in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Xi looked at Ling Yuan, who was preparing to follow, and directly reached out to block Ling Yuan.
"Ling Yuan, we don't need to follow too closely."
"Retreat a bit more, maintain a safe distance."
Ye Xi looked at Tang San and the others in front and lowered her voice.
"Alright, Young Miss."
Ling Yuan agreed, reached out to pick Ye Xi up by the waist, and retreated a distance backward.
After retreating to a safe distance, Ling Yuan put the Ye Xi in her arms down.
"Young Miss, this distance should be very safe, and we can still see the situation of those people from Shrek Academy."
While speaking, Ling Yuan was also observing the surroundings.
"Hmm, then let's stay here."
Ye Xi nodded gently, then sat on the branch of the ancient tree, her gaze quietly fixed on the front.
In front, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others were looking for a suitable Spirit Beast for Oscar.
"Did you hear any noise?"
Dai Mubai paused slightly and looked back at Tang San and the others.
"It seems there is some noise."
"Something like a massive creature running."
Tang San listened carefully and answered seriously.
Zhu Zhuqing did not speak, but agilely leaped onto an ancient tree, looking toward the source of the sound.
"Zhuqing, did you see anything?"
Dai Mubai looked up at Zhu Zhuqing and asked.
But Zhu Zhuqing did not answer Dai Mubai's question, instead staring quietly ahead.
