Since they were flying with the help of spirit beasts, they arrived outside the sect's barrier in a short while. The spirit beasts could not enter, so they had to walk.

Xu An poked the barrier of the enchantment and felt it was bouncy and bouncy, just like pudding.

"How do we get in here?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the talisman paper in his arms floated out automatically, and with a whoosh, a hole appeared in the barrier.

"The talisman paper given by Zhu Yu has this use. It's really advanced." After saying that, the two of them stepped into the barrier one after the other.

Xu An patted the mud marks on her skirt, stopped on the mountain path halfway up the mountain, and looked back. She saw mountains stretching far and near, and soft snow was scattered in the sky.

"Ze'an, it seems like the snow is getting lighter and lighter recently. Is the spring equinox coming soon?"

The person next to him did not respond, only a few chuckles could be heard.

Xu An turned his head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"

"Hahaha, it's only the winter month and New Year's Eve hasn't even passed yet. It's a bit too early to talk about the vernal equinox. I didn't expect... you can't even tell the difference between roses." Ze'an saw Xu An's puzzled expression and couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, stop teasing me. I'm not familiar with your world yet."

Xu An's tone sounded a little funny. It didn't sound like a complaint, but more like a joke to Ze An.

The two of them took a step toward the stairs in tacit understanding and then turned their heads to look into each other's eyes.

"Ahem..." Xu An's lips twitched slightly, and then she ran forward with her skirt lifted up like a big stride, "Whoever arrives last is a stupid dog."

"Why are you such a scoundrel!"

"Rules are made by people! How am I a rogue~"

"..."

Xu An shamelessly took the lead, and Ze An followed closely behind, with a faint smile on his face, laughing uncontrollably.

From time to time, Xu An would turn her head to see how far Ze An was from her. She grinned happily, and her two dimples appeared. She could see the handsome face of the person behind her, with his phoenix eyes full of smiles.

At this moment, Ze'an's already burning heart seemed to be filled with joy as if it was sprinkled with rays of sunshine, and a tender bud slowly grew into a big tree.

"You can't catch up with me~"

"You are just a scoundrel." Ze'an couldn't hide the smile in the corners of his eyes.

There was nothing he couldn't catch up with. It was just that if she wanted something, he would give it to her. He only hoped that one day he could be worthy of her.

At this time, outside the sect's main gate, Lan Zi was walking with his luggage and several fellow disciples.

"Brother Lanzi, what did you put in there? It's so heavy."

"Of course... it's the talismans. Who in our sect doesn't have some talismans?"

Seeing a barrier at the gate, Lan Zi patted his bag and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You go in first. I'll sit for a while and come right after."

A few people waved and walked into the room.

It is confirmed that this boundary was set by that kid Zhu Yu, and he might be someone who is fighting against the demons. No, I can't stay here any longer, I will be exposed sooner or later.

After thinking about it, Lan Zi took out a hidden weapon from his bag, put it in his arms, and carefully chose a mountain road to go down the mountain.

Just by coincidence, Xu An was humming a song and jumping around, when he looked up he caught a glimpse of a furtive man in white clothes walking down the stairs.

She quickly held onto Ze'an and whispered, "Ze'an, look, is that the person Zhu Yu wants to catch?"

"The clothes he is wearing are from the sect, so it must be him."

When Xu An heard this, he thought, great, it's time for him to show his abilities and put into practice what Zhu Yu taught him.

Ze'an was about to wave his two fingers, but Xu An held his hand, pursed his lips and smiled, "Ze'an, let me do it."

Ze'an didn't say much. He naturally understood her thoughts. "Okay."

"It's a pity that I didn't bring the Shun'an Sword today, otherwise I could fly high and low with the sword and catch him off guard."

After hearing this, Ze'an smiled.

Xu An whispered, "Thunder Talisman, go."

shhh-

The talisman rose into the sky and rushed towards Lan Zi. In an instant, thunderclouds gathered above his head and attacked with crackling sounds.

"Thunder Talisman?" Lan Zi stopped where he was. He could see that this was transformed from talisman paper.

He pulled out his own talisman paper and shouted, "Break!"

With a whoosh, the thunder talisman broke and shattered on the ground.

"Who are you? How come you have our sect's talisman paper?"

Lan Zi looked carefully and saw a woman appear in front of him, with slender fingers, porcelain-like skin, and autumn light in her eyes.

"Heh, who are you? We don't have any female disciples in our sect. Are you trying to steal our skills?"

Xu An didn't waste any words. She didn't expect that her talisman was useless and was easily broken by the opponent. It was really a slap in the face.

"You are from the demon tribe, right?"

The person opposite gave a wicked smile, "Little girl, are you here to arrest me?"

"Yes."

Xu An concentrated her mind, trying to regain the previous feeling. After that day, she felt that feeling was very familiar every moment, as if it was her own power.

"You know I'm from the demon clan, so I can't let you live."

Lan Zi simply stopped pretending. It had been a long time since he had slaughtered, skinned and hearted a person. This feeling was very uncomfortable.

"Hmph... You look delicate and tender, I wonder how you taste?"

Xu An glanced and wondered if all villains liked to use rhetorical questions.

My talisman paper is a piece of cake for him. He has been lurking in the sect for so long, he must know what Zhu Yu taught me. It seems like I have no ability to fight him.

Lan Zi took out a hidden weapon and threw it towards Xu An.

"Talisman shield."

"Isn't this the sect's talisman shield? You think you can catch me with this? Are all your moves the sect's talismans? Then what can you use to defeat me? Hahahaha!"

Cao, I only learned the talismans of the sect, and I don't have any practical skills. Apart from the bracelet given to me by the system, I am useless... How can I be the empress and go home like this? I am really a little too arrogant.

"Water from all directions—"

Then, the blue-rippled spring water pierced Lanzi's forehead like a sword. With a bang, he fell to the ground, and the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth soaked into the moss.

Ze An stepped forward, held Xu An's hand, and couldn't help but worry, and asked gently: "What's wrong? Why don't you move?"

She also let Ze'an lead her and sighed secretly. What else could she do? For a moment, she felt like a falling snowflake that would be scattered by anyone with a light pinch.

"Ze'an, I have been learning the most basic talisman paper taught by Zhu Yu. If I fight with a powerless person, I will win. But once I meet someone who knows a little magic, I will be the loser. At this moment, I realized how insignificant I am."

Yes, I am very insignificant, and it is completely different from what is written in the text. I have a system, but it is unreliable. I also have the background of a marquis, but my mission is to become an empress. I used to think that time travelers can create a world with modern thinking, but the reality is that fate is beyond one's control and one's ability.

"It's okay, I'll always be behind you."

Hearing Ze'an's gentle answer, Xu An felt very complicated. She didn't know where to start to tell Ze'an, so she could only sigh heavily, "Ah..."

Ze An frowned slightly, "Your power was very strong that day in the forbidden land. It was the most turbulent power I have ever seen, but I don't know why you don't have spiritual roots, so I don't know where your power comes from."

"Oh, Ze'an, what you said reminded me of one thing. I was actually very confused about the power that day. I don't know how to tell you. At that time, I only heard someone talking in my mind and calling me An'an, and then there was a very strange flame, and I touched it. After that, I don't remember anything."

Xu An suddenly realized that it was not the system that helped him that time. The voice in his mind was calling himself. It was a conversation in his subconscious.

How could the system alter my memory? This is not a game world, this is a different world of cultivating immortals. I have traveled through time, so how could there be such a thing as a system?

Yes, if you think in this way, then it is understandable that this system is unreliable. She only told me to become an empress, but how can I become an empress when I have nothing?

It's anti-logic. Since I was chosen to complete the mission of becoming the empress, it means that I must be valuable. So... the power of that day is mine, but I need to stimulate it. However, I am wearing a mask. How can a modern person like me cast spells? What a contradiction...

"Do you really need strength?" Ze'an asked tentatively.

Xu An came back to his senses. He had just been struggling too hard, and was a little confused when he heard Ze An's words. "Ah... I need it."

"It's to go back, right?"

Ze'an's tone was obviously a little dull, as if he didn't want to hear Xu An's affirmative answer.
