Chapter 42 Encounter Secret Realm, Fourth Person, Lu Yu

Far away from Ixdale, a group of three people were advancing by foot on a desolate plain.

In the middle of the three was a young girl. From her makeup and her movements, it could be seen that she came from an impressive background.

It was very likely that she was the young lady of a large family clan.

As for the two people beside her, one of them was an old man with white hair and a beard.

The other was a young woman. She was dressed rather plainly and held a short sword in her hand as she looked around vigilantly.

From the looks of it, she should be the maid to the young lady, someone in charge of protecting her.

The three continued forward for some distance before the young lady stopped and frowned slightly.

Butler Lin, how far is it from Clanorth University?

The elderly man beside her quickly replied, Miss Yun, it will take about half a day. If we move quicker, we will definitely be able to arrive before nightfall.

Yun Zirou nodded slightly and looked at the maid beside her.

Xiao Qing, did you sense any danger nearby?

The maid said with a serious expression. There isn't any danger for the time being. Let's continue forward. The real test should begin in the canyon.

But miss, don't worry. We will ensure your safe arrival.

However, Yun Zirou snorted disdainfully when she heard these words. This is my test. There's no need for you to act.

Unless my life is in danger, the two of you are not allowed to help me!

Yun Zirou's unquestionable tone made the two of them nod helplessly.

The two of them were much stronger than her. They could effortlessly escort her over.

Although Yun Zirou was born into a noble family, she was not pretentious. Otherwise, she would not have been chosen by Clanorth University.

The three of them continued forward and gradually approached the vast canyon.

Suddenly, Xiao Qing seemed to have sensed something. With a swoosh, she appeared in front of Yun Zirou and protected her.

Seeing this, Yun Zirou hurriedly asked, Xiao Qing, is there anything wrong?

She nodded. I sensed a powerful force, but the details are still unknown. We'd better be careful.

Yun Zirou walked over and continued to move forward.

Even if there's danger ahead, I have to face it. Otherwise, this test will be meaningless.

Xiao Qing felt helpless and could only continue to follow. She got even more cautious, constantly sensing the dangers around them.

After continuously moving forward, Xiao Qing saw a hillside not far ahead.

She suddenly realized something and quickly said, I finally understand the source of this energy. It is from this hillside!

If I'm not wrong, this is a secret realm with bountiful opportunities. The energy I sensed emitted from there.

Butler Lin, who was beside her, quickly nodded. That's right. I've encountered many fortuitous secret realms like this distributed in the wild. As long as you enter them, you can obtain countless lucky opportunities. It's enough to change a person's life.

Hearing their words, Yun Zirou's interest was immediately piqued. She quickly ran towards the fortuitous secret realm.

The two of them quickly followed, and the three of them arrived in front of the mountain slope.

The mountain slope was about two stories high, and there was a cave at the bottom of the mountain. The cave entrance was pitch-black, and they could not see the end of it.

When the three approached the cave, a notification box popped up before the entrance.

[ Do you wish to open the fortuitous secret realm? ]

Xiao Qing and Butler Lin both looked at Yun Zirou. She was the one who needed to make the decision.

Yun Zirou did not hesitate at all and immediately chose yes.

[ Fail to open. Minimum requirement: four people. ]

The three of them looked at each other and were speechless.

What? We need four people to open it?

Yun Zirou was a little unhappy. It wasn't easy for her to come across a fortuitous secret realm, and she did not expect to be unable to open it because of the number of people.

The three of them sighed helplessly. Xiao Qing suggested, Miss, why don't I go back and call someone over?

Butler Lin agreed. That's right. Xiao Qing's movement speed is quick. She can go back very quickly.

At that moment, Yun Zirou looked at the entrance of the secret realm. A timer was displayed on it. It was the countdown to the closure of the secret realm.

There's only ten minutes. Such a short time shouldn't be enough to get someone, right?

Yun Zirou looked at Xiao Qing and asked, Ten minutes, is that enough?

Xiao Qing nodded heavily to Yun Zirou's hopeful eyes. I'll try my best, and I'll definitely complete it!

However, Butler Lin stopped her before she could go. Don't try it. You can't make a round trip in ten minutes, no matter how fast you are.

Then, Butler Lin looked at Yun Zirou with a bit of pity. Why don't we continue moving forward? I don't think we're fated to enter this secret realm.

Yun Zirou looked conflicted and finally thought of a solution.

Why don't we wait here for ten minutes? If we can wait for a stranger, won't we have a chance to enter the secret realm?

This was the only solution she could think of, although it was a slim hope.

Butler Lin sighed helplessly again. Miss, there are high-level ferocious beasts nearby. Ordinary people won't come here, not to mention that this place is so hidden

I feel that even if we wait here for ten minutes, no one will come. Instead, it will delay the progress of your admission.

The butler's words made Yun Zirou fall into deep thought.

But, I don't want to let go of this opportunity to make myself stronger!Yun Zirou was very unwilling.

Butler Lin quickly comforted her, Miss, when you enter Clanorth University, there will be plenty of opportunities to make you stronger.

Alright, it's fine that I've missed this opportunity. No matter what happens next time, I must seize it!

Yun Zirou's face was determined as she clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes were filled with resolve.

Just as the three of them were about to leave, Xiao Qing suddenly said in a low voice, Miss, wait. I heard movement!

Yun Zirou quickly asked, Is it a ferocious beast? It's a good opportunity for me to practice!

Xiao Qing shook her head slightly, No it seems to be a person's footsteps!

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and then Yun Zirou became excited.

Are you serious? Did you hear the footsteps of a person? How far is it?

It's about two hundred meters. The surrounding weeds are tall, so I can't see the person for now.

Yun Zirou looked around excitedly.

The appearance of this stranger meant that they had met the requirements to enter the secret realm!

The three of them realized the implication and looked toward the sound of the footsteps.

Slowly, they saw a figure walking out of the weeds.

Lu Yu's figure walked out and appeared in front of the three of them.

The three of them were a little stunned when they saw Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked relatively young. He did not look like someone who would stroll around such a high-level area.

Yun Zirou guessed Lu Yu's identity. It was very likely that he was doing a mission from the black market and was here to collect materials.

However, what identity he had wasn't important. They just needed an extra headcount. Who cared about what identity he had?

Moreover, the prowess of the two people with Yun Zirou was not ordinary. Why would they be afraid of a stranger who was alone on a mission?
