Xu Liao rubbed his hands together and turned his clothes to dust. He walked into the hot spring and sank into it.
Although he was still a little agitated, he had regained his usual calmness. He was no longer restless and noisy because he had waited so long for Ren Lingxuan.
After a long time, Xu Liao's head emerged from the water. He waved his hand, wanting to pull the towel over, but he couldn't help but notice a concentric knot in the corner.
He still remembered that this was a gift from Bai Qiulian. At that time, there were two of them, but he felt that they were useless, so he threw them away. At that time, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but he somehow managed to snatch one back, and the other one was thrown away.
Xu Liao's expression softened when he saw the concentric knot. He didn't move for a long time.
He seemed a little dazed …
Early the next morning, Xu Liao had just gotten up from his meditation when he heard someone knocking on his door. When he opened the door, it was Ren Lingxuan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, looking at him with a grin. She was dressed as if she was going on a long journey.
Xu Liao was slightly surprised. "Senior Sister Ren Lingxuan! Are you done with your seclusion? "
Ren Lingxuan nodded with a cheerful expression. She was completely different from the lonely and cold person he had seen her before. She didn't wait for Xu Liao to greet her and walked into his cave abode. "I've condensed another energy meridian during my seclusion this time. I'm a little more confident in participating in the seven-day war."
Xu Liao didn't want to waste any more time. "Shall we depart now?"
Ren Lingxuan nodded. "I'm fine with it!"
Xu Liao naturally had no problem either. He didn't even need to pack his luggage. He only changed into a pair of shoes and was ready to depart.
Ren Lingxuan followed him step by step. When Xu Liao was about to reach the flying bridge, he suddenly changed his mind. "I'm going to take a look at the other side. Why don't you wait for me at the subway station?"
Ren Lingxuan didn't even ask what she was going to do. She merely smiled and walked past him, leaving in a carefree manner.
Although Xu Liao was not familiar with the route, he had been to the mountain peak where the female disciples lived several times. He walked slowly and soon found Bai Qiulian's cave residence. He used the house plate given by Ying Qiang to open the door.
Bai Qiulian's cave abode was the same as the last time he came. There were almost no changes. The room was still filled with countless Concentric Knots. When the wind blew outside the door, they swayed, looking like they were welcoming him.
Xu Liao's heart ached. He wanted to turn around and leave. However, he hesitated for a moment and still walked in. He didn't touch anything. He only saw the red string that Bai Qiulian usually used to weave Concentric Knots. He casually took a bundle and left without looking back.
After Xu Liao met up with Ren Lingxuan at the subway station, the two of them waited quietly for the train to enter the station. Ren Lingxuan suddenly smiled. "Who are the other three members? How strong are they?"
Xu Liao answered, "Baek Hyun-jae and Cui Ying are Daemon Kings. Shi Ji is a Celestial Dipper Warrior!"
Ren Lingxuan was slightly surprised. "They actually agreed to give the Fruit of Desire to you. They're willing to take such a huge loss. I'm really surprised!"
Xu Liao frowned and asked, "I don't think I'm any weaker than an ordinary Daemon King. How did they take a loss?"
Ren Lingxuan said, "Daemon Kings and Celestial Dipper Warriors can only participate in the Seven Days War. There are very few Celestial Dipper Warriors and Daemon Kings. It's not easy to gather five of them. Therefore, most Daemon King teams have one Daemon King and four Daemon Warriors who are about to break through. The Fruit of Desire will only be given to the main Daemon King team. The other four Daemon Warriors can only get the opportunity to break through. "
Xu Liao asked in disbelief, "Don't these Daemon Warriors feel that it's unfair?"
Ren Lingxuan smiled. "Many people yearn for the opportunity to break through to Daemon King. If they feel that it's unfair, they can choose not to join the team! But you have to know that every time a Daemon King or Celestial Dipper Warrior team is formed, there will be countless Daemon Warriors fighting to join. "
Xu Liao was slightly surprised. However, he immediately understood. It wasn't just for Daemon Kings and human cultivators. Increasing one's cultivation level wasn't just about gaining more strength. It also represented a longer lifespan and endless benefits.
After Xu Liao understood this point, he finally understood why the most outstanding disciples of the Profound Cave Immortal Sect, like Chen Ji, Lu Lang, Xun Jing and the others, all wanted to participate in the seven day war.
"So, Shi Ji wanted to join my team because he wanted to help me?"
Xu Liao suddenly felt a little regretful. If I knew there was such an inside story in the Seven Days War, wouldn't it have been better if I just randomly found a few people to join? Why do we have to gather four Daemon King level members? "
Ren Lingxuan looked at his expression and knew what Xu Liao was thinking. She said indifferently, "Your team members didn't warn you because they didn't want to die. One more Daemon Warrior means one more risk of death. You must have promised to gather four Daemon King team members. Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to join your team so easily. They didn't even ask for the Wishing Fruit. "
Xu Liao recalled that he did promise Baek Hyun-jae that he would solve the problem of his team members. At that time, Baek Hyun-jae must have tacitly agreed that he would find warriors of the same level.
He asked casually, "You didn't even ask me this question. Why did you agree to join?"
Ren Lingxuan laughed. "I'm from the Ren Clan. I have some sources of information."
Xu Liao didn't say anything.
After a while, the train arrived at the station. The two of them boarded the train and left Mount Qingcheng.
A few hours later, Xu Liao and Ren Lingxuan appeared in the lobby of the most crowded hotel on Luo Yang Street. They immediately saw Shi Ji, who was carrying a huge sword on his back, and Du Wei, who was there to send them off.
Baek Hyun-jae and Cui Ying stood at the side. Clearly, they didn't want to strike up a conversation with this pair of West Kunlun disciples. The two of them exchanged glances with each other, giving off a hint of adultery. Shi Ji also seemed to be unable to stand it. His gaze was always cold.
The moment Xu Liao appeared, Shi Ji came up to him and said coldly, "I've already booked the train tickets. Let's set off now!"
Xu Liao spread his arms at Ren Lingxuan and made a helpless expression. He then called out to Baek Hyun-jae and Cui Ying. This was the first time his team from the Seven Days War had gathered together.
The six of them arrived at the train station. Duwei waved goodbye to them. Xu Liao was rather grateful to this handsome guy from West Kunlun. Before boarding the train, he specially thanked him.
Duwei held his hand and said in a low voice, "No matter what reason you have, you have to bring Junior Martial Sister Shi Ji back. Otherwise, I'll let you experience the power of West Kunlun's secret killing technique."
Xu Liao smiled lightly and waved his hand. He was the last to enter the train.
