After an eerie silence, the group cautiously asked, "The person you're talking about, could it be the one secretly protecting Shen Yunxi and Bai Ruoan right now?"
“Very likely! Think about it, Bai Ruoan’s uncle is Elder Xuanqing. With Elder Xuanqing’s status, it would be a piece of cake for him to hire such an expert to protect them,” the group analyzed.
"What? Elder Xuanqing is Bai Ruoan's uncle? How come I didn't know that?" someone asked in surprise.
"Your information is way outdated! Not only has Elder Xuanqing become Bai Ruoan's uncle, but Shen Yunxi is no longer a useless person. It's said that she has awakened her companion soul spirit and even injured Princess Nihuang!"
"Really? Shen Yunxi injured Princess Nihuang? That's unbelievable!"
"Why would I lie to you? This matter has already spread throughout the entire capital. You can ask others if you don't believe me."
"This is too unbelievable! Shen Yunxi awakened her companion soul spirit, and Bai Ruoan got involved with Elder Xuanqing. These two are really incredibly lucky!"
"Who says otherwise? It seems this Star-Picking Pavilion assessment is going to be quite a show."
"Yes, this is going to be a good show." The crowd discussed excitedly, their voices filled with anticipation and excitement.
No one dared to believe his words. Even if Shen Yunxi had awakened her companion spirit, her current strength was definitely only at the Spirit Realm level. How could she possibly fight against Princess Nihuang?
Most people took it as a rumor; the hike was boring, so chatting became their only source of amusement.
Their voices didn't carry forward. A short boy rushed up to Shen Yunxi, looking at her with starry eyes full of admiration: "Big sister, has your strength improved again?"
Shen Yunxi looked at him, and she had some impression of this person in her mind. If she remembered correctly, he was a member of a collateral branch of the Shen family, and she should call him Third Brother.
People around them cast strange glances and whispered among themselves.
Apart from the Shen family and Bai Ruoan, almost no one had a good opinion of Shen Yunxi. They all thought that her registration this time was just a formality to familiarize herself with the process, and that she would come back in a few years.
Shen Yunxi raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on her face: "So much confidence in me?"
Shen Ziqiang scratched his head sheepishly: "You're a summoner! Summoners are omnipotent!" He lowered his voice and added mysteriously, "I grew up listening to stories about summoners!"
Shen Yunxi chuckled: "Then I'll have to work hard and not let you down."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yunxi sensed something was wrong. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Shen Ruoyu and Shen Ruoning, and said, "You two need to be careful!"
"I understand, Mother. I will protect my little sister," Shen Ruoyu said, holding Shen Ruoning's hand.
“I will protect my brother too,” Shen Ruoning echoed.
As soon as the mother and her two children finished speaking, a thin mist rose from the surrounding woods. At first, it was very light, but it quickly became thick and dense, obscuring the sky and making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they slowed their pace.
A dangerous aura permeated the air, sending chills down one's spine.
Shen Yunxi was about to remind everyone that there was something wrong with the fog when she turned around and found that there was no one behind her.
Shen Yichen, Shen Ruoning, Shen Ruoyu, and even Bai Ruoan, all disappeared without a trace.
She called their names, but none of them answered him!
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, she was all alone, enveloped in thick fog, as if she had fallen into a giant white cage.
