This confused everyone.

"Young Master Ning, what do you mean? Do you have some discovery?" Shi Wuming asked hurriedly.

Ning Yuzhou replied with the same words, "It's too early to say. Let's wait and see."

"Oh..." Shi Wuming felt very disappointed. He thought Young Master Ning was perfect in every way, except that he always spoke in a veiled manner and wasn't straightforward.

Wen Qiao used to think her husband wasn't straightforward either, but she had grown accustomed to it. She had never heard anyone say anything bad about him.

She threw a punch at Shi Wuming, "If you want someone to work, stop rambling and let's continue."

Shi Wuming, fearing her fists, immediately flattered her, "Miss Wen is right. Let's go. There might be more good things ahead."

They had been wandering in the secret realm for almost ten days and had quite a few gains, but they still hadn't explored the entire secret realm.

"It seems this secret realm is quite large," Wen Qiao's eyes fell on a tree not far away that was full of spirit fruits. The fruits smelled very sweet and could be made into spirit fruit soup.

Seeing her gaze, Ning Yuzhou called everyone to pick the spirit fruits.

"Are we making spirit fruit soup?" Pei Qiyu obediently went to pick the fruits while secretly hoping.

After tasting the spirit fruit soup made by Ning Yuzhou, her taste buds had memorized the flavor, and every time she recalled it, she couldn't help but feel a little hungry.

Ning Yuzhou said, "No, Ah Chui wants the spirit fruits."

Hearing this matter-of-fact statement, Pei Qiyu felt a little disgusted. Shi Wuming felt tormented. Indeed, single people without a spouse were doomed to be tormented.

Fortunately, after picking the spirit fruits, Ning Yuzhou finally announced that they could return to Red Sun Villa.

Chapter 324

It took them a few days to return to the lake in front of Red Sun Villa.

The reason they didn't enter Red Sun Villa directly was that they sensed there were people inside.

Shi Wuming said confidently, "It must be Zuoyi Zhai from Bi Nu Pavilion and Wei Qianli from Ten Directions Commerce!"

Pei Qiyu thoughtfully said, "It seems they are determined to get something from Red Sun Villa too! Shi Wuming, at this point, stop being mysterious. Can you tell us what you're looking for in Red Sun Villa?"

Su Molan and Wen Qiao also looked at him suspiciously, but Ning Yuzhou appeared indifferent, standing by and watching Shi Wuming being interrogated.

"I really don't know!" Shi Wuming spread his hands. "Soul Hall speculated there would be variables in Red Sun Villa and asked me to check it out. Later, when I saw Zuoyi Zhai and Young Master Wei, I had some guesses, but I don't know much else. Oh, right, when speculating about Red Sun Villa, it pointed to something related to formations, which is why I invited Young Master Ning to come along."

Ning Yuzhou's expertise in alchemy, talismans, artifacts, and formations was something Shi Wuming had figured out back in Thirteen Palaces of Dry Bones.

"Speculation?" Pei Qiyu asked sharply, "What does your Soul Hall use to speculate? Is it accurate?"

Shi Wuming wore a humiliated expression, "Soul Hall has its methods, not to be spoken of to outsiders!" He then fiercely added, "If it's not accurate, I'll go back to Thirteen Palaces of Dry Bones and run naked!"

This price was too terrifying, indicating that Soul Hall indeed had unknown methods to speculate on certain variables.

Pei Qiyu no longer showed suspicion on the surface, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Since there were people in Red Sun Villa, the question arose: should they enter?

Su Molan frowned, "What should we do? Should we go in?"

The current situation was that if they entered Red Sun Villa, they might be intimidated by Zuoyi Zhai and Wei Qianli, and it could even lead to a fight. They weren't afraid of a fight; if they couldn't win, they could always run. But they feared attracting unnecessary trouble and complications.

Su Molan was still thinking about the possible immortal artifact in Red Sun Villa.

Shi Wuming said, "How about I go in first to distract them, and you follow after to find the right moment to break the formation?"

"What formation to break?" Pei Qiyu retorted, "We don't even know where the formation is. If we want to break it, we need to find it first, right?"

Knowing there was a restoration formation in Red Sun Villa but finding no trace of the formation, everyone understood there must be a hidden grand formation, but even Primordial Saint Realm cultivators couldn't find it. How could they?

Hearing Shi Wuming's suggestion, Pei Qiyu felt like giving him a beating to stop him from thinking too lightly.

Shi Wuming looked at Ning Yuzhou in shock, "Young Master Ning, you haven't found the formation yet?"

Ning Yuzhou: "No!"

Shi Wuming: "..."

Seeing Shi Wuming's disappointed and frustrated expression, Wen Qiao couldn't help but punch him.

Even though she didn't want to hit him, this person just deserved a beating. If she didn't hit him, she would feel unhappy!

After being punched, Shi Wuming didn't dare to ramble anymore and asked nicely, "So what do we do now? Should I go in and stir things up?"

As a disciple of Seven Soul Sect and having previously revealed his identity as a disciple of Soul Hall, Zuoyi Zhai and Wei Qianli would give him face. Even if they knew he was causing trouble, they wouldn't dare do anything. This was why Shi Wuming had deliberately shown off his identity in front of Zuoyi Zhai, hoping she would help spread the word, divert their attention, and stir the waters even murkier.

His plan worked. When Zuoyi Zhai met Wei Qianli from Ten Directions Commerce, they both understood each other's goals. After a polite exchange, Zuoyi Zhai brought up Shi Wuming.

Seven Soul Sect on Primordial Continent might not compare to those top-tier sects, but it was still considered a first-rate sect. Many people were wary of it, especially the most mysterious Soul Hall within Seven Soul Sect. It was said that even if something happened in Primordial Continent, the first thing people would think of was Soul Hall of Seven Soul Sect, and they might even come to seek advice.

This also led to the habit of Seven Soul Sect keeping a low profile while doing high-profile things.

Thus, many people wouldn't easily offend a disciple of Soul Hall.

Because Shi Wuming, a disciple of Soul Hall, had personally come to the secret realm, it made the two suspicious that Soul Hall had deduced the hidden secrets of Red Sun Villa and were very cautious of him.
