Liu Jingshu dragged the reluctant Liu Yaoyao as if she was dragging a heavy bag of potatoes, and staggered into the deep and mysterious forest.

The words "I'm unwilling" were written all over Liu Yaoyao's face. She looked like a lazy dog ​​being dragged to take a bath, flapping her four legs and making "woof woof" sounds of protest from her mouth.

Before the two of them had walked far, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps and panting behind them.

Liu Jingshu looked back, and saw Ying Dao and others running towards her breathlessly, with nervous expressions of "something bad is going to happen" written all over their faces.

"Hey, Princess Han, where are you taking Princess Chen?"

Ying Dao asked breathlessly while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Liu Jingshu glanced at him and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Why? Are you afraid that I'll kidnap Princess Chen?"

Ying Dao quickly waved his hands: "How dare I, I'm just worried about your safety."

Liu Yaoyao struggled to stand up, muttering in dissatisfaction.

"Sister, I am so delicate, what if some beast takes a fancy to me?"

Liu Jingshu rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Come on, the way you look, even wild animals would avoid you."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at? Get going!"

The group was ordered to continue going deeper into the dense forest.

The trees in the dense forest are towering, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, and occasionally you can hear the singing of birds and chirping insects in the distance.

Liu Jingshu and Liu Yaoyao walked in front, while Ying Dao and others followed carefully behind, fearing that they would miss any important clues or dangers.

Along the way, Liu Jingshu seemed to have turned into a naughty elf, constantly playing tricks on Liu Yaoyao.

Liu Jingshu was seen walking briskly, taking out various strange things from her pocket from time to time and waving them in front of Liu Yaoyao.

"Hey, sister, look, what is this?"

Liu Jingshu suddenly stopped, holding a furry little bug in her hand, and waved it in front of Liu Yaoyao.

Liu Yaoyao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed and jumped to the side.

"Ah! Bug! Liu Jingshu, you're teasing me again!"

Liu Jingshu couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw Liu Yaoyao's panic-stricken look.

"Hahaha, look at how timid you are, you're such a coward!"

Liu Yaoyao stomped her feet in anger.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

At this moment, Liu Jingshu decided to stop while she was ahead, collected the bugs, took out a bright red apple, and shook it in front of Liu Yaoyao.

"Come, eat an apple to calm your nerves."

Liu Yaoyao looked at the tempting apple and couldn't help swallowing.

But he still took a step back cautiously.

"What do you want to do now? Is there something strange hidden in this apple?"

"Sister, you are too suspicious, aren't you? This is really an ordinary apple. If you don't believe me, smell it."

Liu Yaoyao took the apple doubtfully, smelled it, and after confirming that there was no peculiar smell, she took a cautious bite.

"Mmm, so sweet!"

Liu Yaoyao couldn't help but exclaim in praise while chewing an apple.

Liu Jingshu looked at Liu Yaoyao's satisfied expression and couldn't help teasing her.

"Oh, sister, please eat slowly, don't choke. I prepared this apple especially for you, and I added my exclusive secret recipe to it!"

Liu Yaoyao was so scared that she spit out the apple.

"What? What secret ingredient did you add? Isn't it poison?"

Liu Jingshu couldn't help laughing when she saw Liu Yaoyao's panic-stricken look.

"Hahaha, I was kidding! There's no poison at all. I just added some honey to make it taste sweeter."

The two of them played and joked along the way, and before they knew it, they had reached the heart of the dense forest.

The road ahead became more and more rugged, and the trees became more and more dense, but everyone seemed to have forgotten the fatigue and danger and continued to move forward.

"Sister, I heard that you have the power of a god to have the magic water. Do you think we can find the legendary treasure this time?"

Liu Jingshu suddenly stopped and asked, looking into the depths of the dense forest ahead.

Liu Yaoyao rolled her eyes and strictly adhered to the rule of silence.

Liu Jingshu didn't necessarily want an answer. Besides, the story of the treasure was just a cover. What they were looking for was Mr. Xue who knew the art of Qimen Dunjia.

The group continued to move forward. Although Liu Jingshu made some "jokes" from time to time, Liu Yaoyao always remained vigilant.

Soon they came to a more dense forest.

The trees here are tall and dense, with branches and leaves intertwined, almost covering the sky.

The two of them walked through it carefully, afraid of missing any clues.

Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from deep in the woods.

The voice was low and strange, like someone was whispering a spell.

Liu Jingshu took advantage of the situation and handed Liu Yaoyao to the guard behind her, then sped up the process.

The closer they got, the clearer the strange sound became.

Finally, in an open space surrounded by mysterious trees, the two unexpectedly discovered a figure.

The man was like an otherworldly sage, wearing a simple long robe and a conical hat, as if he had blended into the surrounding nature.

He closed his eyes and chanted ancient spells in a low voice, his voice was ethereal and mysterious.

"Mr. Xue!"

Liu Jingshu was sharp-eyed and immediately shouted excitedly, as if she had met a long-lost relative.

Hearing the voice, the man slowly turned around, his silver hair fluttering gently in the breeze, as if he possessed magical powers.

He opened his eyes slightly, revealing a deep and wise light in his eyes.

However, when Liu Yaoyao looked up and saw the man's face clearly, she was stunned.

This wasn't Mr. Xue at all; it was clearly the Grandma Xue that she was familiar with!

She widened her eyes and shouted in surprise: "Grandma Xue? Why are you here? When did you move to the Misty Forest?"

Granny Xue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Liu Yaoyao's surprised expression.

She took off her hat, revealing her kind face and smiled.

"You little brat, you are always full of surprises. I was picking herbs nearby, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Liu Jingshu glanced at Liu Yaoyao and found it a little unbelievable.

They originally wanted to learn the art of Qimen Dunjia from Senior Xue, but unexpectedly they met Granny Xue.

"Granny Xue, do you know where Senior Xue is?" Liu Jingshu asked tentatively.

Granny Xue nodded and said with a smile, "Of course I know. He is practicing in seclusion in a cave not far away. But don't disturb him. He hates being disturbed when he is practicing."

There was disappointment in Liu Jingshu's eyes.

They had originally hoped to meet Senior Xue and learn some advanced magic.

But Granny Xue seemed to have seen through their thoughts. She smiled and took out a yellowed book from her bosom, handed it to the two of them and said, "This is what Senior Xue asked me to teach you. He said that if you really want to learn, you should study this book carefully."

The two took the book and saw the words "Qi Men Dun Jia Shu" written in large letters on the cover.

They opened the pages and saw all kinds of strange symbols and spells densely written inside.

Although they didn't understand it, they still felt excited.

"Thank you, Granny Xue!"

Granny Xue waved her hand and said with a smile, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Senior Xue. He is in seclusion and cannot teach you personally, so I will do it for you."

After expressing their gratitude again, everyone said goodbye to Grandma Xue and left with the precious book.
