Just after those who were soul-captured died, now a large group has been poisoned, leaving Shang Xiuxun and the others feeling rather disheartened. They all look to Sui Yi, disregarding their own injuries.

Perhaps only Sui Yi here can assume a leadership role.

However, most people understandably refrain from speaking to Sui Yi, likely due to being frightened by his earlier enlightenment of Zhi and his instant defeat of Wugen, categorizing him as something non-human.

He is even different from someone like Song Que, an outright national master.

It’s hard to blame, given Sui Yi’s extraordinary capabilities. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Sui Yi remained silent, merely helping Dugu Mingyue apply medicine, his fingers pale and somewhat translucent. Shang Xiuxun watched, suddenly shifting her gaze to two people standing next to Sui Yi: Shi Feixuan and Natasha, both dazzling beauties, one seemingly lost in thought, and the other staring intently at Sui Yi.

Well, that gaze is peculiar, as if she isn’t looking at Sui Yi at all.

Were they not supposed to have a close relationship? Collaborating both inside and outside earlier.

"To detoxify, the only option is to ascend the mountain."

Sui Yi said flatly, without any fluctuating intonation, causing the others to realize that Sui Yi intended to go to Snow God Mountain to save people anyway, and she was also poisoned by Ghost Subdue Poison. Hence, going up the mountain was inevitable.

However... the scholar sitting next to Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin, after using a towel to wipe their sweaty faces, turned to Sui Yi.

"Along this road, I seem to have heard about a Poison Valley, Ghost Subdue Cry in Snow God Mountain, from where most of the poison on Snow God Mountain originates. So, the only way to detoxify is to reach Ghost Subdue Cry... but if the teacher is to save people, it’s unlikely they would have the time to go to Ghost Subdue Cry."

If Sui Yi were alone, saving lives and obtaining medicine would be impossible to achieve simultaneously.

Fortunately...

"She is not alone," Shi Feixuan’s gentle, elegant voice resonated among them.

There is no one in the world unfamiliar with Shi Feixuan.

Shang Xiuxun and others were the same.

Advance and retreat with Sui Yi? They share a deep bond indeed.

The scholar folded the towel neatly beside him and said: "Even if you count the two of you, plus that swordsman master, there are only four people. Yet, I believe Snow God Mountain has many men like Morton Wugen, and combined with the treacherous terrain, the Formation Secret Techniques will no doubt obstruct us. If we attack in an organized manner, we’ll be surrounded. If we split up, four people will still be insufficient..."

His eyes were brilliantly perceptive and wise as he smiled lightly at Sui Yi: "Actually, saying all this, I just wish to seek the teacher’s opinion—would you be willing to take along a weakling in strength, but somewhat familiar with the Eight Trigrams and Formation techniques, wanting to contribute in a small way for their companions?"

This person has an extraordinary demeanor, hard to match his insight; earlier, when Cheng Yaojin faced danger several times, this person effortlessly diffused the crisis with just a few words, and his profound insight is evident.

"Wagang Stronghold’s strategist, Shen Luoyan," Shi Feixuan said, smiling slightly at the counterpart: "I’ve long heard of your great reputation."

Indeed, upon meeting today, a well-deserved reputation.

Shen Luoyan, disguised in men’s wear, returned a smile: "Luoyan also has admired Immortal Shi for a long time..."

One serves as Wagang Stronghold’s strategist, and the other supports Li Shimin’s "strategist," their exchanged smiles undoubtedly filled with intriguing significance, yet upon closer inspection, no hostility was detected, instead, a silent camaraderie.

Of course, the comparison between beauties naturally holds a certain aura.

However, considering Shen Luoyan’s disguise as a man, it’s briefly challenging to perceive interference.

Not to mention, both of them calmly focused on Sui Yi together.

"Shen Luoyan..." Sui Yi softly called the name, carrying a gentle emotion, perhaps naturally so due to his voice.

Shen Luoyan glanced at Sui Yi.

"Have you read the ’Taiqing Chapter’?"

Shen Luoyan hesitated, then a gleam flashed in her eyes, "Yes... It’s an ancient formation secret technique inscribed on a desert monument. Though I’m not adept in martial arts, I’m very interested in formations, so I’ve studied it for a few years, but unfortunately, only a fragment exists; couldn’t delve further..."

Sui Yi looked at her, smiled faintly: "If it’s willing to let you understand it, it signifies it has chosen you... There will definitely be hoping days ahead"

Shen Luoyan understood, merely smiled slightly, hopeful: "Then, is the teacher agreeable?"

Shen Luoyan knew her martial prowess was lacking; if she were to ascend the mountain, she could only follow Sui Yi together.
