"Senior Sister Chen is too polite, as long as you are fine, everything is fine." Yan Xiang said softly.
After they finished talking, the two of them stood face to face. The atmosphere became awkward once again.
"Senior Sister Chen, there are a lot of maze traps here. As long as we walk down the road of no return, there will be a trap appearing, so we need to take an accurate path to avoid encountering traps." Yan Xiang reminded.
"The correct path?"
However, towards Yan Xiang's words, Chen Lan's face revealed a helpless expression. The path of this maze was very complicated, it was even harder than ascending to the heavens to find the right path.
"Looks like I won't be able to pass this stage. Sigh, this can be considered the only time I'll be participating in Sky Sect Site. I probably won't be able to participate in the next opening of Sky Sect Site." Chen Lan said.
With regards to his own cultivation, Chen Lan was still quite confident. As long as there were no mishaps, by the time Sky Sect Site were to be opened again, her cultivation would have already broken through the peak of the Profound Infant Stage.
Those who had surpassed the peak of the Profound Infant Stage would lose the qualifications to enter the Sky Sect Site, so if Chen Lan was unable to enter the Sky Sect Site, then there would not be a next time.
"This ?"
Hearing Chen Lan's words, Yan Xiang's eyes revealed a trace of hesitation. He really wanted to invite the other party to follow Ye Xiu, but he did not say it out loud.
No matter what, Ye Xiu had his own way to find the right path out of this many different paths, and if this method was to be spread out, then the people from the Nine Profound Sect might find trouble with him.
Therefore, for Ye Xiu's safety, Yan Xiang naturally did not dare to arbitrarily decide to have Chen Lan follow him.
"Junior Yan, why don't the two of us enter this maze together?" Seeing that Yan Xiang did not say much, Chen Lan thought for a while and suggested.
If the two of them were to travel together, then it would be much better than traveling alone. If it was two people, then they should have a way to deal with the trap.
As long as it wasn't an especially strong trap, the two of them together would definitely be able to escape.
But facing Chen Lan's invitation, the hesitation on Yan Xiang's face deepened. After all, he was following Ye Xiu, so at this time, he naturally could not agree to the other party's invitation.
"Junior Yan, don't you want to enter this maze with me?" Chen Lan frowned slightly.
In Chen Lan's opinion, there was nothing excessive about his invitation, but why did Yan Xiang look so hesitant, could it be that the other party did not want to be with him?
"No ?." Of course not, I am willing to enter this maze with you, but ? "But ?" Yan Xiang nodded his head.
Breaking through the maze with Chen Lan was definitely the best opportunity to increase their relationship. Yan Xiang was very clear on this point.
If he was alone before, he would definitely agree without hesitation.
However, it was different now. Without Ye Xiu's consent, it would be difficult for the two of them to pass through this maze.
"But what?"
Hearing Yan Xiang's words, Chen Lan's face became a little ugly.
He had taken the initiative to invite her, but the other side had refused. This was simply not giving her any face at all.
"Senior Sister Chen, if you are willing, you can come with us."
Just as Chen Lan's expression turned ugly, a voice came from their right.
"Elder Ye!"
When Yan Xiang saw Ye Xiu and the other two walking towards them, his originally hesitant face instantly revealed a happy look.
Actually, Yan Xiang really wanted to be with Chen Lan, but without Ye Xiu's permission, he did not dare let him join them.
But it was different now, Ye Xiu had said it herself, it meant that as long as Chen Lan agreed, she could follow them and head out.
"Elder Ye, why are the three of you together? When we came in here, we seemed to have been separated?" When Chen Lan saw Ye Xiu and the other two appear before her, her eyes were filled with curiosity.
A total of forty odd people came in, but after Chen Lan was separated, he did not see anyone else besides himself.
Even if it was Yan Xiang, it was only because the other party took the initiative to look for her. Therefore, in this situation, it was truly hard for people to imagine that Ye Xiu and the other two would actually appear at the same time.
Could it be that Ye Xiu and the rest were not separated?
Regarding this conjecture, Chen Lan naturally did not think that it was true. After all, they were separated, so how could Ye Xiu and the others have the ability to not be separated?
"Senior Sister Chen, since Elder Ye has spoken, then as long as you are willing, you can join us." Senior Sister Chen, since Elder Ye has spoken, then as long as you are willing, you can join us. Yan Xiang hurriedly tried to persuade her.
Yan Xiang was worried that Chen Lan would reject Ye Xiu's invitation, so he tried to persuade him otherwise.
"Elder Ye, since Elder Ye is sincere in inviting me, then what reason do I have to reject you? Moreover, if there are more people, then it would be helpful for me to pass the trial. I am naturally willing to join." Chen Lan replied.
"Great!"
When Yan Xiang heard that Chen Lan was willing to join them, he happily clapped his hands and cheered.
"Junior brother Yan, you were hesitant about my invitation earlier. Without Elder Ye's order, you wouldn't dare to casually agree." Chen Lan asked.
"Yes."
In response to Chen Lan's inquiry, Yan Xiang nodded his head in confirmation.
After receiving this confirmation, Chen Lan's face clearly looked much better. No matter what, Ye Xiu was an elder of the Five Elements' Sect, and Yan Xiang was a disciple of the Five Elements' Sect, so the disciple naturally had to listen to the elder's instructions.
Therefore, Chen Lan naturally understood Yan Xiang's earlier hesitation and didn't feel angry anymore.
"Yan Xiang, help me take care of Senior Sister Chen, she is injured after all. Alright, let's continue on our journey and try to enter the second floor as soon as possible." Ye Xiu said.
The first level of the maze was not difficult for the three disciples of Nine Profound Sect, but it was an extremely dangerous place for the others who had entered the Nine Profound Trial Tower for the first time.
Therefore, as long as Ye Xiu and the rest successfully entered the second level, they would be able to lock onto one of the Sky Sect Site s.
If the number of people who could enter the second floor exceeded twenty, then the only thing they could do was to go up another level, or it could be said that the closer someone got to the third floor, the more they would have a placing in the Sky Sect Site.
Just like this, after Ye Xiu finished talking, he led the group of five people to walk around the maze.
Since he didn't need to save others, his speed naturally wouldn't be too fast.
Moreover, there was an additional Chen Lan among the five of them who was a stranger, so if there were some things that were not exaggerated, then there would be no need to exaggerate. Otherwise, if this were to spread, it would definitely cause trouble for Ye Xiu.
If he was not in a rush, even if he did not encounter any traps along the way, from Chen Lan's point of view, he was just lucky.
Or perhaps it could be said that Ye Xiu had the trick to walk in the maze, knowing the correct way was correct.
When time slowly passed, Ye Xiu and the other four continued to walk back and forth in the maze.
Or it could be said that to Leng Yue and the other three, they were walking around in the maze. Because there were only walls around the maze, it was the same for those who did not know how to walk around.
It was like walking in place. No matter how far they walked, it felt like they were walking in place.
"Ye Xiu, why do I feel like we're going around in circles?" After a while, Leng Yue could not help but ask.
"Elder Ye, I also have the same feeling. I feel like we've returned to our original place after walking a short while. It seems like we've been walking in circles." Xu Zifeng asked at this time.
Yan Xiang and Chen Lan did not speak up, but from their expressions, it could be seen that they felt the same.
The truth was that they were spinning in circles, because the place they were about to walk out of the first maze was a circle. The reason it was created was to give people the illusion that they were walking into the wrong place when they were about to reach the end.
If Ye Xiu did not remind him, even he would have had the illusion that he walked into the wrong place.
And once he believed in this feeling, he would be wrong. He would definitely fall into a trap.
"You guys are right. Right now, we are going in circles, but we aren't going in circles, we are slowly shrinking. The entrance to the second floor is right at the center of the maze, and we are very close." Ye Xiu said.
"It's true!"
Hearing Ye Xiu's words, Leng Yue and the other two immediately revealed looks of surprise. As for what Chen Lan had said, there were even more doubts in their eyes.
Because she was not sure how Ye Xiu knew that they were about to leave, could it be that he was extremely familiar with this maze?
This place is a Nine Profound Trial Tower of the Nine Profound Sect. Other than the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect, outsiders would definitely not be familiar with everything here.
And it was also because of this that Chen Lan's curiosity towards Ye Xiu increased a little more. Adding to the fact that she had received the sect master's order to properly investigate Ye Xiu, she had naturally kept an eye on him at this moment.
"Master, this Chen Lan looks at you with a weird gaze." While Ye Xiu was rushing, Ye Long's voice sounded once again.
"Oh? What's so weird about that? " Ye Xiu asked somewhat curiously.
Of course, Ye Xiu was also very curious about the sudden initiative that Chen Lan had taken at the beginning, but now that Ye Long had reminded him once again, he was also very curious about it.
If Chen Lan really had a goal in getting close to them, then this kind of shrewd woman was naturally not suitable to be with Yan Xiang.
Therefore, when the time came, even if Ye Xiu wanted to beat up the lovebirds, he would have to separate the two of them. After all, Yan Xiang might be the one to be chosen to be the next Sect Master of Five Elements' Sect, he could not let a woman affect his own future because of him.
Of course, if it was only related to Yan Xiang's own future, then Ye Xiu naturally had no right to ask too much. But his future was also related to his Five Elements' Sect, so it was none of Ye Xiu's business.
