I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 364 Secret Realm Exit

"That way, we'll never be apart again, Arou."

"Sister..."

"Okay, that's enough, that's discouraging."

"Mmm..." Yun Qingrou hugged her tightly, "I will never let my elder sister be in a difficult position."

……

After a while, the two of them tacitly agreed not to say anything more and went back together.

When everyone saw them return, they got up and surrounded them.

Ji Zhaoling: "Qingyi, Qingrou! You're back!"

Ji Zhaoze: "Yes, the secret realm will open soon."

Although everyone's eyes showed hidden worry, no one asked what the two had done.

"Are we ready to start?" Yun Qingyi asked, somewhat dazed, and smiled slightly. "Time flies."

Although it was only two years, it felt like a lifetime to her.

But he didn't ignore the worry in everyone's eyes, and smiled gently: "We're fine, don't worry."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Yun Qingyi brought it up herself.

Based on their understanding of Yun Qingyi, the fact that she brought it up herself suggests there shouldn't be any major problems.

Hearing Yun Qingyi's words, Ji Zhaoze's eyes calmed down a little: "It's good that you're alright. Everyone is gathering at the exit of the secret realm. Should we go over there first?"

Yun Qingyi nodded, "Thank you all for waiting so long."

Gu Qiqing: "Oh, junior sister, what are you saying? It won't be long. As long as you and junior sister Qingrou are both alright, that's all that matters."

After talking for a while, the group headed towards the exit of the secret realm.

Because their base wasn't far from the exit, they arrived quickly.

"We're here!" Ji Zhaoling exclaimed excitedly.

The exit area has gradually become crowded with disciples from various sects.

"There are more and more people. Hey, aren't those people from the Purple Cloud Sect? Why do they seem to be fewer than other sects?" Ruan Qi looked around and immediately spotted the distinctive attire of Purple Cloud Sect disciples.

Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice, and Gu Qiqing said, "The people of Zixiao Sect are actually no match for the Tianye Sect, which already has a small number of members."

"Something must have happened; I vaguely heard some news about it on the way."

"Oh? What news?" Upon hearing this, Ruan Qi and Gu Qiqing both looked at Ji Zhaoling with curiosity.

Ji Zhaoling smiled somewhat embarrassedly, thought for a moment, and said mysteriously, "Let me make it clear beforehand, I've only heard about this. As you all know, Leng Zhan and I have hardly seen anyone these days."

"Hey, tell me quickly, tell me quickly." Leng Zhan also pricked up his ears to listen. "We've been together for so long, and I didn't even know you knew these things. Senior sister, that's not fair."

"Ahem, you didn't ask, but I did. I heard that the people of the Zixiao Sect practice evil arts and harm their fellow disciples."

Upon hearing this, the others widened their eyes: "No way? How is this possible???"

"The world is so big, nothing is impossible." Ji Zhaoling said with certainty, "Although it's just hearsay, my information may not be wrong."

"I've also heard that the sect leader of the Purple Cloud Sect is a demon!"

Leng Zhan looked on incredulously: "No way, this is ridiculous!"

Ruan Qi: "I can hardly believe it... Senior Sister, are you sure this news is true?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhaoling smiled confidently: "Then it's definitely... not guaranteed to be authentic!"

"These things may sound unbelievable, but there must be some truth to them."

Leng Zhan was speechless and waved his hand: "Alright, senior sister, stop talking. You're just spouting nonsense."

Hearing Leng Zhan's words, Ji Zhaoling angrily grabbed Leng Zhan's ear: "What nonsense are you talking about! Isn't this what you wanted to hear? Besides, I only heard it from someone else, okay?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, it's my fault, senior sister, please be gentle." Leng Zhan begged for mercy, grimacing.

"Hmph, serves you right for talking nonsense."

"Although what Senior Sister said was indeed an exaggeration, the people of Zixiao Sect really do look very strange. I actually saw them for a while in the secret realm before. They were incredibly arrogant, but now they are quietly staying in the corner at the exit. The contrast is too great."

“Now that you mention it, Junior Sister, it does seem a bit true. Although I haven’t encountered them before, I’ve heard a lot about their reputation. It’s said that they once brought disciples from other sects into an underground palace and even tried to sacrifice them!” Leng Zhan said.

“Oh! I know this!” Gu Qiqing said. “I didn’t just hear it from someone, I saw it with my own eyes. Back then, these were the people who spread the news of the divine artifact’s birth everywhere, making a huge fuss. It was hard not to know about it.”

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qi, Ji Zhaoling, and Leng Zhan immediately revealed gossipy expressions, and the group excitedly discussed matters concerning the Zixiao Sect.

"So that's it!"

"How abominable!"

"They're supposed to be a righteous sect, but what they're doing is even worse than what evil cultivators do! It's disgusting!"

"They actually want to sacrifice those innocent disciples!"

……

While the group was filled with righteous indignation, they noticed that Yun Qingyi, Yun Qingrou, and even Xie Xiyan remained extremely calm.

???

The group paused for a few seconds before realizing what was happening. Gu Qiqing asked, "Wait, aren't you all curious, Junior Sister, Senior Brother, and Brother Xie?"

"What are you curious about?" Ji Zhaoze asked casually.

"Of course I'm curious about the Purple Cloud Sect."

Ji Zhaozhe: "..." (Silence) "I've already calculated it."

In one sentence, Gu Qiqing was completely stunned and speechless.

He looked at Yun Qingyi with disbelief, thinking that although Junior Sister Qingyi didn't like crowds, she would still want to know about this kind of thing.

Receiving Gu Qiqing's gaze, Yun Qingyi smiled faintly and said, "Well... Arou and I are the parties involved, so we're not curious."

Upon hearing this, not only Gu Qiqing and Leng Zhan, but also Ruan Qi, Ji Zhaoling, and Xie Xiyan all looked at her.

"No, Uncle-Master, aren't you going a bit too far?"

"The person involved! Did I hear that right?!"

"Doesn't that mean we know everything from the very beginning?!"

Xie Xiyan stared intently at Yun Qingyi, occasionally glancing away slightly to avoid making his gaze too obvious.

"Oh! You're worried again?" Ling Xuzi teased as always.

Seeing that Xie Xiyan was indeed very worried, he added, "Kid, isn't Yun girl here perfectly fine? Stop worrying about her."

"Besides, even if you're not here, those dangers can't harm her."

"Besides, they are already exceptional talents, so they have more opportunities than opportunities, but these opportunities are often accompanied by greater dangers that you can't stop."

"I know." After a long silence, Xie Xiyan slowly spoke in his mind.

“I know she is very capable and will always find a way to solve things, but I just can’t help worrying.”

"I feel mostly heartache."

After thinking for a moment, Xie Xiyan sighed almost imperceptibly, "I just hope she's safe and sound."

Even if it's a blessing for a friend, this isn't considered too inappropriate.

On the other side, Yun Qingyi listened to everyone's chattering questions and smiled helplessly: "Actually... it's nothing. But what you discussed before was half right. As for the other half, if they are evil cultivators, I don't know. I haven't specifically investigated it."

As they were talking, several people from various sects were looking over, hesitant to move forward.

After a while, one of the girls finally couldn't resist and walked towards Yun Qingyi and the others.

"Excuse me... are you senior brothers and sisters from the Xuanmiao Sect?"

Yun Qingyi looked at the girl quietly and said calmly, "Yes, may I ask what brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

The girl looked in the direction of the voice and was momentarily stunned by the exceptionally aloof and indifferent figure. At the same time, she heard the figure's clearly distant words and steeled her heart: "Senior brothers and sisters, I beg you... save our Hundred Flowers Sect!"

After saying that, fearing that Yun Qingyi and the others would refuse, the girl added, "My name is Qi Yue, and I am the Holy Maiden of the Hundred Flowers Sect. I guarantee in the name of the Holy Maiden that if you are willing to lend a helping hand, the Hundred Flowers Sect is willing to repay you with its most treasured treasure."

Yun Qingyi was somewhat surprised that they would repay her with the sect's most treasured artifact. She suspected that the trouble they were facing must be considerable.

Moreover, there is a high probability that only their Xuanmiao Sect can solve this problem.

Yun Qingyi pondered to herself, this girl is named Qi Yue, and combined with the chat content on the jade tablet, it is very likely that the Hundred Flowers Sect is being targeted by the Purple Cloud Sect.

Thinking of this, Yun Qingyi raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of Zixiao Sect. A few scattered people were talking to someone in the middle.

Ok?

The man was dressed in a black robe that covered his entire body, leaving only his eyes visible.
