Three days later, all the inner disciples and their attendants gathered in the square of the Inner Courtyard. Led by Peak Master Lin of Ling Peak, Peak Master Yan of Sword Peak, and Peak Master Zhou of Medicine Peak, they set off for the Dark Moon Ghost Forest. Yun Li stood out noticeably in the crowd wearing the blue robes of an outer disciple; fewer than ten people across the entire square wore outer disciple attire, drawing curious glances from many of the inner disciples.
Seeing Shen Huaixu standing among the Sword Peak disciples, Yun Li quietly waved at him with a smile. Yun Li's little stunt naturally did not escape Beigong Ying's notice. Beigong Ying glanced sideways at Yun Li: "Stand properly. Don't disgrace Ling Peak."
Yun Li pouted rebelliously, clutching her sword and staring straight ahead as she stood up straight and proper. Shen Huaixu had noticed Yun Li glance at Beigong Ying just before snapping into such rigid posture, and he knew instantly that Beigong Ying must have reprimanded her. Shen Huaixu cast a look at Beigong Ying's back. If trouble ever struck, he wondered which side Beigong Ying would choose. For Yun Li's sake, it seemed he needed to make some preparations of his own.
