Su Yuqing suddenly took out this bead to do...

Upon hearing his question, Su Yuqing's face flashed a rather unnatural expression: "You need not concern yourself with what it is. Just know that by swallowing this pearl, you will be eligible to enter the Black Abyss."

Lü Yè was speechless and died: "Senior, since you have such means, why bother with so much trouble before"

He still has to choose a Taoist partner from Xianling Peak, that's what he says on the surface. But if Lu Ye really wants to choose, he can only choose Haitang.

After that, he kept him hanging for another two months. Right now, if it weren't for the approaching date of the Black Abyss Martial Arts Tournament, he probably wouldn't have taken this bead out.

Su Yuqing didn't look at him, just staring at the beads in her hand, she said faintly: "If so, are you willing to help our realm participate in the Black Abyss Martial Arts Competition"

"Of course, there's no problem with that." Lu Ye readily agreed. Although he felt that after the Black Abyss Martial Tournament, it would be highly unlikely to face any resistance when leaving again, since this territory placed so much importance on the martial tournament, he might as well lend a helping hand.

No matter how you put it, his trip to Fangcun Mountain was incredibly beneficial. The jade slips in the Xiyuan Pavilion, across its four levels, are of paramount importance to the current Jiuzhou.

"Thinking about it, I have a request."

"Speak!"

After the martial arts competition, this junior disciple would still have to trouble his senior for a favor. Please send me and my senior sister back to where she was originally trapped on Fangcun Mountain. That way, we can save him the trouble of finding our way home, and it will also save us a lot of time.

"Okay!" Su Yuqing readily agreed. This wasn't difficult for her at all. Changing the subject, she said, "You have requirements, and I have requirements too."

Junior is all ears!

"First, you mustn't tell anyone about this pearl! Second, I will claim to the outside world that you are betrothed to Haitang. Of course, this is false. You know, I know, and Haitang knows. After you leave Fanzhushan, you can tell your senior sister, but while you are within Fanzhushan, you must not reveal this to anyone."

Lu Ye frowned, somewhat unable to figure out what medicine Su Yuqing was selling.

Su Yuqing didn't want to explain too much, but after thinking about it, she still said: "The people of the Xiaoren clan all know that if they want to enter the Black Abyss, they must possess the breath of their own clan. When you return after entering the Black Abyss without a companion, you won't be able to explain it to outsiders, so you have to claim to the outside world that you are a Taoist couple with Haitang. You don't have to take this seriously, it's just an excuse."

Lu Ye nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He had to say, Su Yuqing had considered this very thoroughly.

We'll talk about it later.

Then Lu Ye didn't say anything more.

Su Yuqing said again, "There's one more thing I want to make clear to you. Consider it carefully before deciding whether or not to go to the Black Abyss. I imagine Haitang has already told you that the martial arts competition in the Black Abyss is harmless."

"Hai Tang did indeed say this, and she also said that martial arts are not simply about fighting, but about competing under a complex set of rules."

Under normal circumstances, there would be no danger to life. After all, it was a struggle within the tribe of small people. If they often caused death, it would be detrimental to the unity within their own tribe. This is the result of the efforts of our ancestors, and also due to the special nature of Black Abyss.

"Under normal circumstances" Lu Ye keenly sensed something was amiss.

Su Yuqing nodded lightly: "So if you enter the Black Abyss, everyone else will be immortal, only you will truly die!"

Su Yuqing was surprised: "Even so, are you willing to help our domain participate in the martial arts competition"

She thought that even if Lu Ye was willing, he would definitely weigh the pros and cons before giving an answer. After all, according to her plan, entering the Black Abyss would put her at a disadvantage from the start compared to others, and she might not agree. However, Lu Ye didn't even think about it, just said he understood...

To be honest, even though Lu Ye had heard from Haitang long ago that the martial arts tournament wouldn't have any life-or-death consequences, he hadn't really taken it to heart. Deep down, he hadn't considered this issue at all. For him, if he were to truly participate, he would only do his best and wouldn't consider too much whether there was a risk of losing his life or not.

Su Yuqing was slightly taken aback, a faint realization dawned on her, but she couldn't quite figure it out at the moment.

As the light bead landed in Lu Ye's hand, a slight warmth spread through his palm. He casually held it between two fingers, oblivious to the slight tension in Su Yuqing's eyes, as if the bead was of great importance to her.

Before she could even speak, Lu Ye casually tossed the bead into his mouth like a candy bean, swallowing it whole.

Su Yuqing's expression immediately became unnatural. Lu Ye didn't know what this bead was, and she wasn't comfortable explaining it in detail. She could only say: "This bead is very important to me, but it's not for you. After the martial arts performance, remember to return it to me."

"From the very beginning, Su Yuqing said that this thing needed to be swallowed."

It's rather surprising that someone would go to such lengths for a bead, but this must be an exceptionally important one. Otherwise, they wouldn't bother retrieving it.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

No wonder nine people are required to participate in the martial arts competition. Such a clash of swords, with fewer participants, wouldn't be nearly as exciting.

The more Lu Ye understood these rules, the more he looked forward to this martial arts competition. Such an interesting event, if not for a stroke of luck, it would be hard to come across. He probably wouldn't have another chance like this in the future.

However, looking at the current situation, this side of the territory is at a disadvantage because only Haitang is at the Starry Host mid-stage among the chosen candidates. The rest are all at the Starry Host early stage.

This is still the reason why a Hai Tang emerged in this generation. Previously, most of the participants on our side were at the Star Venerable early stage because there were only a few Star Venerables born every fifty years. There was simply no extra choice opportunity.

Compared to the other two tribes of little people, these two tribes have a deeper foundation in their realm, so they give birth to more stars. There may be some early-stage stars in the team, but every time there are mid-stage stars, and occasionally even late-stage stars!important reason is that we didn't make thorough preparations and couldn't maximize our gains in that place.In that place, elixirs and spirit stones don't really work.
