"Thank you!"

As he spoke, Xiaobei picked up another piece...

Upon seeing this, Zhentian continued softly, "No need to be polite! We had some misunderstandings before, but now we're brothers! Good brothers!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Hearing the increasingly courteous words, Xiaobei squinted his eyes and said flatly, "Alright, we've eaten and drunk, so tell me, is there something else you came here for?"

"Well..."

Feeling this hesitation, Xiaobei simply laughed...

"If you don't say it, then you're not really taking us as brothers!"

"Since that's the case, there's nothing you can't say!"

"Then... then okay, I'll tell you!"

"Mm, that's more like it!"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's words, Zhentian smiled and said solemnly, "Here's the thing! We discovered a little something in our family before. We want to recover it, but we still need a few more people to help. Before, we were conflicted about what to do, but now we know your skills in Array are outstanding, so... we wanted to ask for your help."

Hearing this, Xiaobei's heart stirred.

Quickly, Xiaobei feigned curiosity and asked, "Discovered a little something? What was discovered exactly?"

"Well..."

"We're brothers, what can't be said!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Pausing for a moment, Zhentian quickly spoke up!

He knew that saying it now didn't matter, because they were about to die...

"Actually... we discovered a stream of Wood Series True Qi, and you know what True Qi means to us, so..."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Xiaobei smiled!

"We understand, we really do! But if we help, won't it delay our sparring time? Our most important task now is the triennial sparring, right?"

"We've considered that too, and we know that asking you to help is a big burden, so we'll forfeit the sparring, and you can win directly!"

"This... that doesn't seem right!"

"What's wrong with that, we're brothers now, we should grow closer in the future, right?"

Giving him a deep look, Xiaobei smiled, "Well... if you put it that way, we really don't have any objections!"

"Haha, should have been like this long ago! So, we agreed?"

"Agreed!"

"Alright, then tomorrow we'll come here to find you, and we'll head out together!"

"No problem!"

After agreeing, they took their leave, and Xiaobei didn't try to keep them...

After they left, the smile on Xiaobei's face completely disappeared...

At this time, Xiaobei heard their curious inquiries.

"Captain, what's going on? Are they up to some trick?"

"Yeah, Captain!"

"We shouldn't be played by them!"

"They are indeed up to some trick, but we definitely won't be easily fooled!"

After saying this, Xiaobei softly said, "When the time comes, follow me closely, we'll observe the changes together, and I assure you, I will absolutely ensure your safety!"

"Okay!"

They had absolute confidence in Xiaobei, so hearing him say their safety was assured, they relaxed...

After they relaxed, the smiles on the faces of Zhentian and the others who left here disappeared completely!

Gu Kuangren turned to look at them, spat hard, and said, "Thinking about how we played along with them just now, I really feel disgusted!"

"Me too!"

"Same here!"

Zhentian looked at them lightly and said, "What's the big deal, they're about to die anyway! So being polite to them doesn't matter!"

"Well... that makes sense too!"

Hearing Zhentian's candid words, they thought for a moment and nodded slightly...

Soon, Gu Miedi spoke up, "Captain, that Xiaobei's skills in Array are really high, won't he see something tomorrow?"

"Well..."

Hearing this, the expressions of Gu Youran and Gu Kuangren slightly changed...

They knew that if Xiaobei saw something problematic with the Array at a critical moment, things would really get difficult...

Zhentian glanced at them, squinting his eyes calmly...

Soon, he curiously asked, "You've reached the level of Array Heart Clarity, how big do you think the gap is between you and me?"

"It's... huge!"

Hearing their response, Zhentian laughed...

"Exactly! Grandmaster Gu reached the Array Heart Clarity level years ago; how terrifying his strength is, you don't know, I don't know, but it's incredibly terrifying, so forget Xiaobei, anyone would be clueless in front of him!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Upon thinking this over, they laughed...

"Alright, let's prepare well too, strive to perform in front of Grandmaster Gu tomorrow, gaining his favor will make our future much better!"

"Mm!"

They nodded excitedly!

They knew this was indeed the case!

If they really caught the attention of Grandmaster Gu, things would definitely improve a lot...

...

At dawn the next day, the sun shone on the entire Valley of the Wicked...

Xiaobei and the others woke up early!

In fact, including Xiaobei, no one really slept well last night because they knew they had to stay vigilant here; otherwise, unexpected events might happen at any time...

Glancing at them, Xiaobei smiled, "Awake?"

"Yes!"

Getting a positive response, Xiaobei smiled and pointed outside, saying, "Let's go out and get some exercise! Those so-called brothers will probably be back here soon!"

"Mm!"

As he spoke, they followed Xiaobei outside...

Xiaobei smiled and quickly began practicing military boxing, and upon noticing, they followed suit...

They found practicing military boxing here felt great because the True Qi was quite abundant...

Like them, Xiaobei also felt the True Qi here was abundant, and besides that, Xiaobei felt a little familiarity!

Xiaobei knew his current feeling was clearly due to that Wood Series True Qi!

Taking a deep breath, he looked into the distance, and soon, he softly said, "All the mysteries will soon be fully unveiled!"

After saying this, he heard increasingly close footsteps...

Xiaobei knew it must be those supposed brothers coming, and as Xiaobei thought so, he heard an absolutely enthusiastic voice speak!

"Brothers, how did you sleep last night? Is the environment here comfortable? If not, feel free to speak up, we can arrange a different place for you!"

"Exactly! Don't ever suffer silently!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Hearing this, Xiaobei turned his head, looking at them with a smiling face, and said, "Last night went well, let's get down to business now! Is everything ready?"
