Nian Shutong was quite disdainful of the man questioning her; she gently pushed him away, looking toward the direction of the ice seal.
"After the ice seal, there will be many Insect Beasts on the ice surface, so crossing from here now would not be wise."
The man continued to persuade, noticing that this group was exceptionally fast and unhard; with such strength, it was very helpful for them to get out safely.
Nian Shutong looked at the man still blocking her and arched her eyebrows, asking, "What, do I not look like the person in charge?"
"Why are you looking at him?"
The man’s gaze kept watching Fu Yunhe.
"I’m sorry, I just thought this brother looked a bit familiar."
The man apologized to Nian Shutong, bowing respectfully, yet Nian Shutong still uninterestedly said, "Please leave, we do not need others’ cooperation."
This was already her second polite request for the man to leave.
The man probably sensed Nian Shutong’s impatience and bowed again, saying, "Excuse for disturbing you."
The man left, glancing one more ti at Fu Yunhe before departing.
Initially, he was attracted by Fu Yunhe’s exquisite appearance, but upon a closer look, he indeed felt that Fu Yunhe looked familiar.
Such a stunning person would be unforgettable if seen, except he had seen a woman’s portrait.
The man did not ponder much because the woman in the portrait he had seen had been dead for many years, and who Fu Yunhe was didn’t matter.
Watching the man who finally left, Nian Shutong felt a surge of disgust rise within her.
For soone at her level of Cultivation, such feelings of aversion did not arise without cause; she had a feeling she would et this man again.
"Can we find out who that person was?"
Nian Shutong disliked fighting unprepared; knowing who the opponent was always better prepared ntally.
Although Fu Yunhe did not know why, he responded softly, "I only managed to record a photo, but the Light Computer doesn’t work well here; we can check when we return."
"Mm, just rember that is enough."
"No need to check, I know him."
Lin Mu stepped forward, whispering to Nian Shutong, "He is Second Young Master Wu, Wu Shuang, of the Wu Family’s main branch."
Nian Shutong looked at Lin Mu, feeling a sense of karmic retribution, wondering why she always encountered significant figures.
"He doesn’t recognize you?"
"Cannot recognize; they all thought I died, and I left when I was just a teenager, not yet fully grown."
Nian Shutong roughly knew, always feeling that the Wu Family was not a friend but a foe.
However, she could ignore him for now; the matter at hand was more pressing.
"Xiao Bai, do you sense anything?"
Nian Shutong inquired through her Divine Sense to Xiao Bai, feeling that this ice seal was not a disaster, but an anomaly.
When anomalies appear, treasures must be present, a law of the Cultivation World.
"Master, there’s a faint yet pure Spiritual Energy flashing at the center of the ice seal."
"Too far, and it seems like sothing is blocking my reception, not very accurate."
The words from the little white mouse confird Nian Shutong’s belief; there were undoubtedly treasures inside, likely a Crystal Stone Mine.
She glanced around; many people had not yet left, she couldn’t go over there yet.
Going now would attract too much attention.
Nian Shutong said to a few people, "Let’s find a place to rest first, and we’ll discuss after we have rested."
"Okay."
"Understood."
"Let’s listen to the wise."
"Follow Eldest’s lead."
A group of people, following Nian Shutong, walked to an open space and sat down to rest.
Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe’s Space Rings were still usable, but with so many onlookers, it was too conspicuous to take anything out.
However, Fu Yunhe was clever; while they were running, he had taken out a backpack and carried it on his back.
At that mont, using the backpack as a cover, he took out a soft mat and handed it to Nian Shutong.
"Sitting on this will be more comfortable."
Nian Shutong, seeing the glaring preferential treatnt, and then looking at the others sitting on the ground, decisively took it and sat down.
"Mmm, this is really nice."
Fu Yunhe then took out a tablecloth and, shielded by the backpack, he brought out sunflower seeds, bread, sausage, crispy fish, stead buns, luncheon at, even an automatically heating small frying pan, the size of a palm.
"Cough cough — that should be enough."
Nian Shutong reminded him, thinking he was turning his own backpack into a treasure trove, having pulled out so much already.
Did you think you were carrying a warehouse on your back?
Fu Yunhe also realized it was enough, so he set his backpack aside, turned on the heat source of the small frying pan, and took out a small knife to start cutting the luncheon at.
With each slice, he placed it in the pan to fry a bit. The luncheon at had a bit of its own fat, frying until both sides were slightly crispy, then he took them out and set them aside.
"You eat first."
Fu Yunhe pushed the luncheon at in front of Nian Shutong, who took it directly and ate it without caring about the heat.
"Mmm, delicious."
And so, Fu Yunhe fried at, stead bun slices, bread, and sausage—in this place, everything could be pan-fried.
Their lively and relaxed atmosphere contrasted sharply with the others around them.
Why did you have ti to carry a big backpack while running?
Why does your backpack have so much food in it?
It’s understandable to have a lot of food, but why do you have a pan?
Lastly, shouldn’t you conserve food just in case we can’t find a way out?
Despite various questions, luckily everyone possessed so sense and didn’t co to make their presence felt.
But so couldn’t help but take pleasure in their misfortune, thinking these people would be hungry tomorrow.
At the edge of the ice sealing, there were fewer and fewer people.
Gradually, only Nian Shutong’s group and the group led by the Second Young Master Wu of the Wu Family, who had co earlier to form an alliance, remained.
Nian Shutong was waiting for everyone else to leave, but the Second Young Master Wu, despite having drawn the most people, stubbornly stayed put.
Nian Shutong felt it couldn’t be a coincidence.
At the sa ti, the Second Young Master Wu from the Wu Family was pondering why these few hadn’t left either.
He had no intention of leaving; although the ice seal was formidable and dangerous, soone from the Wu Family had encountered this situation before.
Generally speaking, there were Crystal Stones at the center of the icy surface.
Having stumbled upon it, he wanted to give it a try, so he had drawn so many people primarily to clear the way for him.
"Second Young Master Wu, when do we leave?"
Finally, an alliance mber who was pulled in couldn’t help but ask—mainly because they were hungry.
The scent from over there was making them hungry!
But the aura of the ice seal had shattered their nutrient liquid and even most of their luggage was frozen in place, leaving no ti to take it with them.
Now that the Space Button was malfunctioning, they wouldn’t last much longer.
Wu Shuang looked at the person asking, not at all impatient.
"I’m thinking after spending the night, we will follow along the edge of the ice seal—it might be closer to pass through, otherwise we might get lost among the Insect Race."
