Chapter 167: Chat With Huo Rong
Wan Ling bit her lip as she remembered the disdain they showed for her before, but in the end, she sighed and replied, "Indeed, Senior Brother. They helped us out when the beast was chasing us in the forest."
The male disciple and the icy-haired disciple heaved a sigh as they cupped their fist, "We shall meet again if fate wills it, Fellow Daoist."
They both turned around and ran away, not wanting to stay a single second longer with Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan also smiled seeing that Wan Ling did not use this opportunity to cause trouble for them but instead spoke the truth of what happened, as for the disdain, there wasn\'t anything wrong with that when the disciples of the radiant lotus sacred sect were indeed weak in their offense.
"Looks like it\'s time to explore the Mystique Realm soon," He turned around and spoke to the rest of the group, "But let\'s sit down here for now and let Zhao Lian heal her injuries."
Zhao Lian gave him a respectful nod and sat down on a rock on the side to meditate, meanwhile, the rest of the disciples also took out some clothes and placed them on the group to take a rest after that intense battle.
Shen Yuan looked at their condition and said, "Everyone should eat Qi replenishing Pills before exploring further, you guys are in no condition to explore with your low Qi reserves."
The disciples nodded in agreement and took out Qi Replenishing Pills to recover their Qi. Shen Yuan stood guard for them as Wan Ling, Ling Mei, and the others started meditating.
[Ding!]
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow as he wasn\'t expecting a System Notification right now.
[A message from Huo Rong.]
Shen Yuan smiled lightly, looking at the screen in nostalgia as it reminded him of his old world.
\'Open.\' he thought.
[Yuan\'er, how is the Mystique Realm faring for you? Any dangers?]
Shen Yuan smiled hearing the concern in her voice, he replied in a gentle tone, \'No dangers so far, though Wan Ling and the others were in danger had I not arrived in time.\'
[It is good that you arrived on time and you are safe and sound right now. If you encounter any trouble, do not hesitate to run away before things go south.]
\'You worry too much big sister, I can take care of myself now.\' Shen Yuan chuckled softly.
[I, as your wife and your sister, have the responsibility to look after you, I can\'t not worry about you after all.]
Shen Yuan smiled gently as he could hear the teasing in her words, \'Yes, yes, I will take care of myself, anyways, what have you been busy with for the last few weeks? I haven\'t seen you once in that time.\'
[Sigh, due to our absence for so long, a lot of work has been gathered for me to check, I\'m doing the work of both Master and Bing Rong! Hmph! They get off lightly, peacefully cultivating in seclusion and here I am, doing all their work.]
\'Then would you have Bing Rong be the one to have awakened instead of you back then?\' Shen Yuan asked back in a teasing tone, knowing full well what her answer would be.
[Hell no! Why would I not want to have been awakened and get together with my cute little brother? With this, I\'m one step ahead of Bing Rong, hehe.]
Shen Yuan shook his head, he saw that the sect\'s disciples were about to awaken so he bid his farewell.
\'I will talk with you later, I should explore the Mystique Realm for now.\' He stood up from his position.
[Alright, take care.]
Huo Rong also cut off the connection after saying that, Shen Yuan surveyed the area once and found no problems, while the disciples started to stand up one by one.
Ling Mei came towards him and asked curiously, "Where will we go next?"
"Why are you asking me? Aren\'t you supposed to be the Inner Sect disciple here? I\'m merely an Outer Sect disciple in front of you." Shen Yuan teased her in a playful tone.
"Hmph!! Don\'t tease me now. Whoever is the strongest should lead the group because they can make better choices in critical moments." Ling Mei turned her head away and answered him.
Shen Yuan chuckled softly seeing her act like this, he looked at the rest of them and spoke, "You did well to stand against that beast, after all, it was an ancient beast who had been mutated due to the environment of this forest, making it much more difficult to kill than usual."
Wan Ling and the rest of the girl\'s faces lit up as they heard what he said, even if they didn\'t show it, they wanted someone to acknowledge their efforts.

"But where did you find out about this Senior Brother Shen Yuan?" Wan Ling asked as she had also read the books in the library but there was nothing like this inside.
"I have a personal library for a time such as this. Anyways, we should move towards the center of the Mystique Realm to see if there is any inheritance here or not." Shen Yuan said as he glanced around the dark forest.
The rest of the girls nodded their heads as they saw Shen Yuan as their leader since he killed the beast in one shot as his special status in the sect.
Shen Yuan took notice of the lack of protective items on the bodies of the sect disciples as he took out 8 teleportation talismans and handed them to Wan Ling and the others.
"Use them when you are in a desperate situation," he then handed a Group teleportation talisman to Wan Ling to use, "Use this one if you are all together.
"Hey, where is ours?" Ling Mei asked as Shen Yuan had given the talisman to everyone except her and another disciple.
"You guys are Inner Sect disciples, don\'t tell me you don\'t even have enough money to buy these little things?" Shen Yuan once again teased her, taking great pleasure in playing with her.
"Ugh, those things aren\'t cheap, even in the outer court they are expensive. I don\'t have them as I recently bought a weapon for myself and I\'m short on Spirit Stones recently." Ling Mei\'s face turned a little red as she admitted how poor she was right now.
Some of the girls took pity on her and they were about to give her their own talismans, but Shen Yuan stopped them and took out two more talismans and handed them to the two inner sect disciples
