Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System

"Do you think I would let him fail?" Zhao Yu asked back as he smiled.

"No." Tian Yueling naturally knew that Zhao Yu couldn't possibly let Ling Yun fail. "Anyway, he will become dependent on you if you keep helping him from behind, and he won't be able to decide everything himself."

Zhao Yu disagreed with her opinion. "You're right, but you're also wrong about that, especially since you still don't know Mo Chen well, and he's already past that phase. Back then, he was too dependent on my big sister, and he might have died a long time ago if he hadn't protected him continuously. Although the current him is still quite naive compared to the cultivators in the upper realms, he has changed a lot now, and he also dares to make decisions without having to rely on him, or else she won't leave his side now. Besides, I'm not like my big sister, and I only help him with trivial matters, so he still has to make his own efforts to gain many things."

"I see." Tian Yueling nodded in understanding and asked her. "Can you tell me about all his women?"

"Sure." Zhao Yu was fine with that. "However, it would be better if you knew them yourself, and you would definitely understand why they were all willing to become his women."

"I know, but I heard about them from you first."

"All right."

Meanwhile, the disciples from the Heaven Secrets Sect were in another area of the forest, and they discovered a fairly large hole in a cliff on the outside of the forest. Even Nangong Nichang joined them, especially since her injuries had almost completely recovered thanks to Ling Yun.

"Hey, Nichang, you shouldn't come with us and just rest there." Qiao Lingzhi said to her sect sister as she shook her head.

Nangong Nichang sighed when she heard that. "I told you that I'm fine now, so you don't need to keep worrying about me. Besides, we are a team, so I also want to help you all."

"All right, you two can stop arguing." Guan Peng said this to them, but his eyes continued to look into the hole. "Apparently, there is a quite large and long hallway behind this cliff, and our master probably hid the thing in it."

"Are you sure?" Dongfang Xu doubtfully asked, for he felt that their master couldn't possibly allow them to find it so easily.

"Whether it's really inside or not, we're here now, so we should check inside first." Qiao Lingzhi said as she entered the hole without waiting for their approval, causing them to sigh helplessly, but they followed her straight away because they were also curious about the passage behind the cliff.

As Guan Peng said before, they immediately arrived at a wide hallway, but they couldn't see the end. They decided to walk down it with great caution, for they didn't know what awaited them.

Even so, they felt a little strange about the passage, and they also felt familiar with the lighting crystals embedded in the walls of the passage.

"Hey, do you guys feel the same way as me?" Qiao Lingzhi asked them. "I feel that I have seen a hallway like this before, but I can't remember it clearly.

Nangong Nichang was the first to answer her. "I also feel that this passage is really familiar, but I forgot where I saw it before."

The two men just nodded in agreement as they continued to walk forward, and their eyes also kept looking at the crystals, but Dongfang Xu suddenly said. "If I remember correctly, this hallway is similar to the one under our sect, and our master once told us that it was prepared to escape if any powerful enemy attacked our sect, especially those demons."

*Clasp*

"Ah! You're right!" Qiao Lingzhi exclaimed as she clasped her hands. "This hallway is indeed similar to that one!"

Nangong Nichang raised her eyebrows and asked. "Could this passage be connected to that one?"

"It possible." Guan Peng answered with a nod. "Since we've been here, we've just kept moving forward, and we'll find the answers later."

After they had walked for a long time, they still couldn't see the end of the passage, but they also felt increasingly strange because the road in front of them continued to descend.

Sometime later, they finally arrived in a big and spaciaous room, and they could see that there were five other hallways.

"Weird! What kind of room is this? Who built an underground room like this? And where do all the hallways connect?" Dongfang Xu wondered as he approached one of the passages, and the other three also approached the other passages.

However, the three of them did not answer Dongfang Xiu's questions, and they observed each hallway in front of them seriously.

"So what are we going to do now? Are we going to split up to check these hallways one by one?"

"We can't do that." Guan Peng rejected Nangong Nichang's idea. "We don't know where these hallways will lead us, and we also don't know whether there is danger within them or not, so we can't split up to check them out."

"I agree with him." Dongfang Xu said as he nodded.

Qiao Lingzhi then asked them. "So which hallway shall we check first?"

"Hmm?" They looked around the room first as they took out a compass-like object, and the other three then pointed to the same hallway. "That one."

"Oh?" Qiao Lingzhi turned to the passage. "Why did you guys choose that one?"

"I thought that hallway would probably lead us back to our sect, especially since it's in the same direction as our sect's location." Guan Peng explained it to her.

"I see." Qiao Lingzhi nodded in understanding and entered it directly. "Come on, let's go now; I'm really uncomfortable staying underground like this."

The three of them could only shake their heads because Qiao Lingzhi was too hasty, but they also felt confident in their choice, so they followed her directly.

Shortly after they left, two old men came out of one of the passages, and one of them said. "Hey, Ye Zhong. Unlike the other three, Lingzhi is quite careless in making decisions, and she also doesn't consider the risks."

"You're right, Zhuge Yang. Lingzhi has always been like that, and she still hasn't been able to change her habits, even though I've reminded her many times." Ye Zhong replied as he let out a heavy sigh. "However, I didn't expect that they would find this place so quickly, and they had completed their task."

Zhuge Yang nodded to him. "I think Guan Peng is the most prepared to leave our sect. Dongfang Xu is not bad, and he is also very careful, but he often blunders by making many small mistakes. Nichang actually has good observation, but she lacks consideration in making decisions, and she also sometimes doesn't dare to decide for herself."

"Yes." Ye Zhong then turned to him. "Speaking of Nichang, Jiange Xiuxi suddenly came to me yesterday, and she asked me about her."

"Jiange Xiuxi?" Zhuge Yang was surprised to hear that. "Since when did she return to the upper realms? And what does she want from Nichang?"

"I don't know for sure about her return." Ye Zhong shook his head at him. "However, she asked me about the future husband that Yuhai had prepared for his daughter, and I already told her that man was Huang Ba."

Zhuge Yang raised his eyebrows after hearing that, for he felt that Zhao Yu was really strange, especially since she had been missing for a long time, but she suddenly came back and asked about Nangong Nichang. "Did she ask you anything else?"

"She didn't ask anything other than that." Ye Zhong then asked him. "Do you think she wants to give Nichang to someone? Otherwise, she wouldn't ask me that, right?"

"Yes." Zhuge Yang replied with a nod of approval. "That might be true, but I find it strange if it's true, especially since Jiange Xiuxi's foster sons are too old for Nichang."

Ye Zhong agreed with that. "So what should I do about it?"

"You can't do anything, right?" Zhuge Yang replied with a helpless shrug. "If Jiange Xiuxi really wants to take her away, then we won't be able to stop her, and Nangong Yuhai won't be able to do anything about it either. However, she is an upright person, so I'm sure she won't do anything bad to Nichang, and it might be a good opportunity for her."

"All right, let's go back, and I will wait for them at my place."

Ling Yun let out a sigh of relief after he got the notification, and he immediately told Xiao Xiao. "Let's stop it, and we will go to Tian City now."

"All right." Xiao Xiao answered as she stored her daggers.

Zhou Yu and Tian Yueling immediately landed in front of them, and Ling Yun asked. "Has my master finished the equipment?"

"I'll contact my grandfather now." Before long, Tian Yueling told him. "There's still one piece of equipment that hasn't been completed yet, so he asked you to wait in our clan first."

However, Ling Yun immediately rejected her. "We're going back to Tian City now, but I'll take Xiao'er to stroll around the city, and I'll meet my master at his workshop later."
