Seeing that they all agreed with his opinion, Gu Dong smiled and said, "Alright, since you all agree, let's have a good discussion first! Once we have a general outline, we can talk to Xiaobei about it!"

"Okay!"

They agreed readily!

Just like that, everyone started discussing.

After determining the general framework of the whole thing, Gu Dong said, "Alright, this matter will be settled for now! We'll discuss with Xiaobei later! If he doesn't agree, then it's all over!"

"Good!"

Having reached this agreement, everyone stood up and left quickly...

Seeing everyone leave, Gu Dong silently took a deep breath.

Soon, he looked into the distance, his eyes revealing a hint of deep thought...

While Gu Dong was gazing deeply into the distance, Gu Xinxin was pulling Lin Ling'er along, walking toward the blindfolded Xiaobei.

At this moment, both Gu Xinxin and Lin Ling'er were extremely nervous...

Because they knew they were doing something Xiaobei didn't know about, something shady...

Xiaobei was unaware of their nervousness and was calmly waiting.

Hearing footsteps getting clearer and clearer, Xiaobei's brow imperceptibly furrowed slightly...

Though the footsteps were particularly light, Xiaobei judged that it wasn't just one person approaching, but two people...

"What's going on? How did it become two people!"

Xiaobei murmured in surprise and was about to do something when a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

The moment he smelled it, Xiaobei knew who was with Gu Xinxin.

Knowing this, Xiaobei abandoned the idea of observing and quietly waited.

He really wanted to see what they were up to...

They had no idea that the astute Xiaobei had already seen through everything...

They continued to approach Xiaobei quietly...

To be honest, their hearts were beating much faster than before because they were really worried that Xiaobei would notice something...

To prevent Xiaobei from seeing the current situation, they had secretly asked him to wear a black blindfold earlier.

However, they knew Xiaobei's strength, so even with the blindfold on, they still weren't reassured, which is why their hearts were pounding so fast...

...

"Xinxin, you're back!"

Although Xiaobei had already smartly seen through everything, he had no intention of revealing it at the moment.

After all, he really wanted to know what they were planning.

Hearing Xiaobei ask softly, a somewhat nervous Gu Xinxin quickly replied, "Yes, I'm back! I went to prepare a little earlier, sorry for the wait!"

"It's alright, now that you're ready, can I take off this blindfold?"

As he said this, Xiaobei deliberately raised his hand.

Actually, Xiaobei didn't really intend to take it off, he just wanted to scare her a bit.

In Xiaobei's mind, Gu Xinxin should be acting very scared...

Xiaobei's thoughts were completely accurate!

The moment he raised his hand, he heard an absolutely panicked voice, "No! Don't take it off!"

Hearing such a panicked response, Xiaobei's heart was clear as a mirror, but he feigned confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just... I'm a bit embarrassed!"

Gu Xinxin glanced at Lin Ling'er standing beside her and quickly found an excuse...

She knew that under no circumstances could Xiaobei take off the blindfold, because if he did, all their plans would be ruined...

"If that's the case, then alright!"

As he spoke, Xiaobei lowered his hand.

Seeing Xiaobei give up on taking off the blindfold, they exchanged a glance and let out a long sigh of relief.

Very soon, they took a deep breath and continued to approach Xiaobei...

Feeling this, the corners of Xiaobei's mouth curled up slightly...

At this moment, Xiaobei felt a bit of anticipation...

The next morning, when Xiaobei woke up, he found that only Gu Xinxin, still asleep, was beside him...

"It seems like Lin Ling'er must have snuck away!"

Muttering softly, Xiaobei glanced around...

Soon, Xiaobei quietly stood up and left.

Xiaobei knew it was time for Gu Xinxin to have a proper rest.

After reaching the courtyard, Xiaobei took a deep breath and quickly practiced two sets of punches.

After adjusting his body to the best condition, Xiaobei exhaled a turbid breath.

At that time, Xiaobei heard some movement, and after turning his head, he saw Gu Xinxin standing at the room's doorway...

At that moment, Gu Xinxin's brows were slightly furrowed...

Seeing her supporting the door with her hand as much as possible, Xiaobei knew that Gu Xinxin's current physical condition was evidently not very good...

Quickly taking a deep breath, Xiaobei hurriedly said, "Why are you up so early? There's nothing going on right now, you should rest well!"

Hearing Xiaobei's genuinely concerned words, Gu Xinxin felt warm inside.

She knew Xiaobei truly cared about her.

Of course, even though she felt warm inside, Gu Xinxin still pouted, "How can you say that, it's all your fault!"

Hearing this imposing complaint, Xiaobei surrendered immediately...

"I know it's all my fault, so I want you to rest well now!"

Knowing Xiaobei meant well, she stopped complaining and quietly explained, "But now, we need to go to Grandpa's!"

After a slight pause, Xiaobei asked in amazement, "Can't we go another time?"

At this moment, Xiaobei really didn't want her to go with him, considering her poor physical condition now.

"No, it's a rule here in The Valley of the Wicked, we must go now!"

"But rules are dead, and people are alive! How about I go alone?"

Hearing Xiaobei's suggestion, her lips twitched, "But..."

Knowing what she wanted to say, Xiaobei quickly interrupted her, "Don't worry, Grandpa will surely understand!"

Realizing that what Xiaobei said made sense, she slowly nodded and said, "Alright then! You must greet Grandpa properly!"

"Mhm, I will. You take care!"

"Alright, you hurry along."

"Okay."

Having agreed, Xiaobei quickly ran off...

After Xiaobei left, she took a deep breath and quietly muttered, "That little bastard, he's got me stuck here, I'm so mad!"

Having muttered in such annoyance, Gu Xinxin turned around, struggling to walk back to the room.

At this moment, she was really having a hard time moving, as each step was more like dragging herself...

Actually, it wasn't just her like this; Lin Ling'er, living in another nearby courtyard, was struggling as well...

...

"This is truly the most spiritually abundant place in The Valley of the Wicked!"

Outside Gu Dong's courtyard, Xiaobei whispered in admiration...

Earlier, when Xiaobei arrived here, he instantly felt the absolutely dense spiritual energy and knew this was one of the best places in The Valley of the Wicked...

"In the future, I'll find a way to bolster the barrier outside, it should make the spiritual energy even more abundant here! Then, the entire Valley of the Wicked can benefit too."

Muttering this, Xiaobei quickly stepped inside...

Entering the courtyard, Xiaobei saw various precious herbs...

"It seems Grandpa usually likes to take care of these plants!"

Muttering this, Xiaobei walked down the slightly winding, elongated stone path, reached the main hall, and standing still, he spoke directly, "Grandpa, Xiaobei is here!"

Having said that, Xiaobei quietly waited...
