The anxieties of many days had already stretched Shangguan Xue'er's nerves to the breaking point.
This also allowed her to relax perfectly.
Afterward, Ye Fei, accompanied by Shangguan Xue'er and others, finished his dinner.
Since he was currently studying at the Artifact Sect, he directly disregarded the pleas of Shangguan Xue'er and the others, then left the Shangguan family and headed towards the Artifact Sect.
By the time he returned to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying at the Artifact Sect, it was already late at night.
The next morning, when Ye Fei appeared in public, everyone finally knew he had returned.
Especially Li Qingqing, who said with surprise.
"Junior Sister Ye, you're finally back!"
"You've missed quite a few classes these past few days, you can come to me for补课 anytime."
Ye Fei's heart warmed as he replied.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister. I will."
After Ye Fei tidied himself up, he finally went to the classroom location with Li Qingqing.
When Ye Fei and the two arrived at the classroom, they saw that Bai Shao and the short, plump man were already seated together.
Ever since Bai Shao was embarrassed and lost to Ye Fei last time, he had been looking for an opportunity to win back, and at the same time, to teach Ye Fei a lesson.
However, he just didn't see Ye Fei the next day.
He had originally thought that Ye Fei was perhaps afraid of his retaliation and chose to hide.
But who would have thought that the reason was not at all as he imagined.
Since Ye Fei had appeared, his plan could be re-implemented.
Bai Shao's sharp gaze kept revolving around Ye Fei.
Naturally, Ye Fei could clearly perceive the gazes projected onto him.
But Ye Fei simply didn't put these people in his eyes.
He disdained engaging in pointless disputes with them.
The short, plump man happened to see Ye Fei ignoring them, which made his teeth itch even more with anger.
When the last student arrived, a teacher finally came to announce today's task.
As disciples of the Artifact Sect were required to undergo a mining trial task every two months.
It just so happened that Ye Fei caught up with this one.
"Since there are new classmates here, I will explain the rules again."
"After everyone takes the teleportation array to the mine owned by our Artifact Sect, you must obtain the required amount of ore, otherwise it will be considered a failure."
"This time, your task is to obtain two pieces of Guanghan iron ore."
"In that case, you must participate in the next task."
"Until you succeed!"
"Of course, if you encounter danger, you can crush the teleportation jade token to come out."
"But I must remind you that the teleportation jade token can only be used once. If you are teleported out without completing the mission this time, it means your mission has failed, and you must participate in the next mission until you pass!"
"Alright, I believe I have made myself clear enough."
"Oh, and I will emphasize one more thing: the deadline for this mission is five days. If by the last moment you have not succeeded, you will be automatically teleported out."
"And the result will naturally be considered a failure."
The teacher emphasized again.
Ye Fei was quite interested in this mission, perhaps he could get some good stuff.
He also wanted to forge another hidden weapon for self-defense.
After the teacher distributed a teleportation jade token to everyone, Ye Fei and the others followed behind the teacher towards the teleportation array in the courtyard.
"Ye Fei, we must be careful. I saw that Bai Feng looked at you several times just now. If they make a move on us during this mission, it will be bad!"
Li Qingqing said worriedly.
"Don't worry, we'll deal with whatever comes. I don't believe they can do anything to me."
"At worst, we still have the teleportation jade token. If we can't win, we'll just teleport out."
Ye Fei wasn't that pessimistic. Cultivation was inherently going against the heavens. If one was always hesitant, how could their cultivation grow?
"Alright then, be careful anyway!"
Seeing that Ye Fei had made up his mind and knowing he wouldn't easily change it, Li Qingqing could only let him have his way.
When Ye Fei and the others arrived at the teleportation array, he discovered that the number of people participating in this mission was very large, about several hundred.
Everyone was divided into more than ten groups and took the teleportation array together.
Unfortunately, Ye Fei was left alone.
As for Bai Feng and the short, plump man, they were also assigned to the same group as Ye Fei.
Ye Fei being alone was naturally pleasing to Bai Feng.
He, directly surrounded by a few people, came in front of Ye Fei.
Then he threatened.
"Brat, you're the only one left now!"
"When we get inside later, your good days will be over!"
"I'll make you wish you were never born, never die! I will torture you properly to vent my hatred!"
This voice was very low, and the others did not hear it.
Ye Fei snorted and grabbed Bai Feng's shoulder, saying forcefully.
"Young Master Bai, you've been useless to me!"
"I, Ye Fei, am not scared to death!"
"Don't get too smug. Don't think you're all set just because you have a few helpers. I, your young master, am not scared to death!"
"As long as you dare to provoke me, I will definitely let you know why the flowers are so red!"
"If you don't believe me, just try it!"
Ye Fei said menacingly, threatening back.
"You!"
"Very good, I underestimated you!"
"I'll see if your mouth stays this tough then!"
"You just wait!"
Bai Feng dared not threaten Ye Fei loudly at this moment, as the teacher leading the team was right in front of them.
As for a woman in a plain colored dress beside them, she kept looking at Ye Fei a few times.
The teleportation array moved rapidly, and soon it arrived at its destination.
However, after getting off the teleportation array, Ye Fei couldn't help but feel a headache.
Wasn't he too unlucky?
He didn't know which remote corner he had been teleported to.
Ye Fei saw that his surroundings were desolate, and the air was so quiet it made one's heart palpitate.
But as things stood, he had nothing to complain about.
He simply charged forward quickly, wanting to leave this accursed place as soon as possible.
Finally, by dusk, he arrived at the foot of a continuous range of mountain peaks.
This mountain peak directly divided this area in half. To leave this godforsaken place, one had to cross the mountain peak in front of him.
Just as he was about to start climbing this mountain, he heard a series of extremely piercing cries for help from behind.
"Help!"
Ye Fei subconsciously looked back and saw that the figure making the cries for help was precisely the woman who had been sitting opposite Ye Fei when they were on the teleportation array.
