The lady is wise

Bai Li Hong Zhuang glanced at Emperor Bei Chen and thought to herself, "This guy really is full of himself."

"I'm afraid you'll fall asleep while keeping watch, and if our teammates encounter danger, it wouldn't be good," she said.

Upon hearing her words, Emperor Bei Chen smirked and looked at Bai Li Hong Zhuang with an affectionate and teasing gaze. "My lady, I know you're just not admitting it verbally."

"..."

Bai Li Hong Zhuang felt helpless. Indeed, this guy in front of her couldn't be judged by common sense.

Suddenly, Bai Li Hong Zhuang's gaze froze as her long-developed intuition told her that something was amiss.

Intuition is a magical ability that cannot be seen or touched, and it cannot be explained by common sense, yet it undeniably exists.

Sharp intuition often appears in those who frequently walk on the edge of danger. This kind of honed intuition is often more accurate than what the naked eye can perceive.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang's eyes scanned the dark forest ahead. The sky at this moment was exceptionally dark, as the darkness before dawn was the deepest.

Not long after Bai Li Hong Zhuang sensed it, a hint of seriousness also appeared in Emperor Bei Chen's eyes.

"My lady, go and inform everyone," Emperor Bei Chen said in a low voice.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang nodded slightly and proceeded to wake up Xia Zhi Qing and the others who were still asleep.

Upon hearing Bai Li Hong Zhuang's warning, Xia Zhi Qing and the others were surprised, but they kept their eyes closed, pretending to rest while their inner energy surged, ready to be unleashed.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang returned to Emperor Bei Chen's side, and a radiant and wise light shimmered in his eyes. "How can you be sure that it's humans approaching and not demonic beasts?"

He hadn't missed his lady's reaction when she sensed danger. It seemed that his lady had quite a few secrets.

He had always thought that his own sense of danger was extremely acute, but he didn't expect his lady's response speed to be even faster.

Any kind of intuition is honed through experience, and this alone was enough to judge that his lady was not ordinary.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang slightly curved her red lips. "At this time, many demonic beasts have already begun to rest. Even if they were to attack, they wouldn't choose this time. This time is often when humans are most exhausted and relaxed. Similarly, it is also a good opportunity for humans to launch a surprise attack. Don't you think so too?"

The reason Emperor Bei Chen didn't wake everyone up directly and asked her to inform them instead proved that he had already deduced everything.

"You're wise, my lady," Emperor Bei Chen's eyes shimmered with admiration.

"Likewise."

In the next moment, Bai Li Hong Zhuang's eyebrows furrowed slightly. If it were demonic beasts, it would be understandable, but if it was humans, the situation would be worth contemplating.

In the Falling Cloud Mountains, it was not uncommon for cultivators to be robbed. However, even if someone wanted to rob them, they wouldn't choose such a large group. One careless move could put themselves in danger.

In that case, there was only one possibility left— the other party held a grudge against them!

As this thought emerged, Bai Li Hong Zhuang's mind recalled a person— Yi Hu Cheng!

The last time they were in the Falling Cloud Mountains, they had a conflict with Yi Hu Cheng. From his attitude upon leaving, it was evident that he wouldn't easily give up.

This time, with the Blue Mission being so popular, it was highly likely that Yi Hu Cheng and his group were also here.

...

Behind a thick and sturdy tree, Yi Hu Cheng led a group of people as they observed Dong Fang Yu and the others who were resting. Their eyes shimmered with sharp and ruthless glints, akin to those of eagles.
