"Because of some actions in other cities, it is now forbidden to leave Hongxia City at night unless there is a certificate from the upper leadership, so many warriors who go out hunting at night are forced to go out during the day, which has led to more people eating supper at night."

Ruoye explained in a serious tone that this order had been implemented for almost a month, and it was a bit strange that Zizhen didn't know about it.

Seeing his friend's confusion, Ye Zizhen took a bite of the grilled lamb skewer and mumbled an explanation.

"Is that so? I've been practicing hard for the past half month and haven't paid attention to this. And I told you that cultivation is different from martial arts. When practicing, most of the time you sit in meditation and time passes very quickly. You can often sit for a whole day."

Ruoye nodded in acceptance of her explanation, then pointed to a shop in the distance and introduced it.

"That's the shop I mentioned. The roasted whole lamb there is really delicious, much better than the lamb kebab you have. Let's go in."

"it is good."

The two of them walked into the store, and Ruoye pulled her inside, saying that she had already booked a private room at the end of the corridor where no one would disturb them.

Walking to the box and stopping, Ye Zizhen was about to push the door, but found that it had been opened. An unpleasant figure appeared in front of her. She frowned and scolded.

"How will you be here?"

Chen Chen, who was called, put down his hand that he was greeting with some embarrassment. Just when he didn't know what to do, Ruoye beside Ye Zizhen came out to smooth things over.

"Zi Xin, don't be like this. Didn't you save him last time? So he wanted to find a chance to thank you, but he never had the chance. Today is your birthday, so I asked him to come along. Don't blame him."

"Ye Zizhen, thank you very much for what happened last time. I didn't check everything clearly before and went to the Ye family to cause trouble. It was wrong. I'm very sorry."

Chen Chen bowed his head and apologized sincerely, which made Ye Zichen speechless. He snorted and reluctantly accepted the apology.

Seeing this, Ruoye struck while the iron was hot and pushed the two of them inside. There was already roasted lamb on the table in the room and they could eat it directly.

Ye Zizhen pulled Ruoye to sit together, and without any hesitation, he put on gloves and directly tore off two pieces of mutton. He gave one to his best friend and ate the other piece himself, without any suspicion at all.

Because in her opinion, since you choose to trust your friend, there is no need to test it, just trust yourself.

The three of them ate while chatting. Of course, Chen Chen couldn't get a word in most of the time, so he just listened from the side. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

As they chatted, they gradually started talking about cultivation, and Ruo Ye asked.

"Zi Xin, do you know? I read a study about the amount of spiritual energy in a book circulated in the fusion area. It's very interesting. Do you think that spiritual energy will be used up by practitioners?"

Ye Zizhen thought the question was a bit weird, but he still thought about it and answered it seriously.

"Before, when I was practicing martial arts and was still a warrior, I couldn't sense spiritual energy and couldn't use it. I didn't know this, but after I switched to cultivation, I had to absorb spiritual energy to practice on a daily basis. I could clearly sense the vastness of spiritual power. I replenished my spiritual energy as soon as I absorbed the spiritual power around me. Even when I was practicing together in the academy, the spiritual energy was replenished in a few breaths, so I don't think it will run out."

Ruoye responded to Ye Zixin's words quickly, as if she had expected it.

"Yes, the book says that spiritual energy is both infinite and finite. It is infinite because spiritual energy can be created out of thin air, and it is finite because the amount created each time is limited. When the spiritual energy consumed exceeds the spiritual energy created, bad things will definitely happen."

"Even the most spiritual energy-consuming part of martial arts, body tempering, is nothing compared to cultivation. If more people choose to cultivate, sooner or later..."

When Ye Zizhen heard this, she began to feel something was wrong and had a bad premonition. She looked directly into Ruoye's eyes and interrupted her before she wanted to continue speaking.

"Ruoye, what do you want to say?!"

"The way of cultivation is the termite of the world and even the universe. It will destroy everyone sooner or later. So, Zizhen, you should give up cultivation!"

Ruoye's tone was a little excited, but there was a hint of pleading in her last sentence. She really hoped that Ye Zizhen would give up practicing Taoism and not go astray.

After listening to this, Ye Zizhen took off his gloves, took a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth, stood up and responded calmly.

"Ruoye, if this is why you called me out, then I can give you a clear answer. I won't give up. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Ye Zizhen turned around and walked towards the door. As soon as he touched the door handle, he felt dizzy and his body fell backwards uncontrollably. Ruoye behind him gently caught him and held him in her arms. She whispered softly in Ye Zizhen's ear.

"I'm sorry, Zizhen. Now have a good sleep. Everything will be over when you wake up."

"you…"

Before he could finish his words, Ye Zizhen fell asleep with his head tilted, unconscious.

At this time, there were sounds of fighting outside the room, but it soon subsided. Then with a click, the door of the room was opened, and a mature woman walked in. She was wearing a black suit, tall, pretty, with a heroic look between her eyebrows, and looked very capable.

Behind her were several guards who had been killed. This scene made Ruoye frown and say helplessly.

"Sister Ming, didn't I tell you to just knock him out?"

"It's better to kill them if they are still enemies. Don't worry, they will die without pain."

Duan Ming spread his hands and said indifferently, looking with interest at Ye Zixin who was sleeping in Ruoye's arms and Chen Chen beside him.

"Xiao Ruoye, the Holy Stone predicted more than a dozen possible children of destiny. Are these two the ones?"

Chen Chen was not particularly surprised to hear this, he just listened with a cold expression. After killing Fu Jiu and Ruoye yesterday, she had made everything clear. To be honest, he could not accept that he was being manipulated like a puppet. Although Ruoye said that she would not do that again in the future, there was still a gap between them and it was impossible for them to be like before.

Ruoye didn't care about these. She picked up Ye Zizhen and walked to the corner. She pressed a switch, and then the floor cracked. A deep hole appeared on the ground, and then she said.

"Let's go quickly and don't make things complicated. Zixin's guards are more than just these few and will be here soon. We can't let the believers die in vain."

After saying that, Ruoye jumped into the cave first holding Ye Zizhen, and Chen Chen followed without hesitation. Before Duan Ming left, he sealed the entrance again and buried the tunnel behind him.

When the three men left, eight martial artists on standby around the street had not received any news from their companions. Realizing something was wrong, they immediately rushed to the roasted whole lamb shop, but were stopped by several martial artists who risked their lives.

At the same time, many warriors suddenly started to rush to the entrances and exits of Hongxia City as if they were risking their lives. They also had a large amount of explosives tied to their bodies, and there were some generals among them.

At this time, Ye Wanjun and others who were hiding also took action.
