Realizing that she might genuinely be in love with Zhang Chi, Long Yan constantly searched for evidence.
Arguments for and against, but the ultimate outcome inevitably raced towards the conclusion that she liked Zhang Chi.
After Zhang Chi wantonly lit fires in others' hearts, he acted as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't noticed Long Yan's feelings at all.
After parting with Long Yan, he went to gather the disciples and told them the truth about the disappearance of Tang Ruoling and Chen Runyu.
They hadn't encountered a powerful enemy but had instead obtained a chance to enter an unknown Secret Realm.
Although this outcome was still worrying, it made people feel a little better.
After all, the Secret Realm itself was also considered an opportunity, and while it was accompanied by danger, there might not be no way out.
Nevertheless, Zhang Chi specifically held a meeting for this and shared the rules of survival in a Secret Realm.
