"You're very smug, aren't you?"
Yun Yun clenched her jade hand, looking at Ya Fei with a hint of shame and anger.
"Smug about what?" Ya Fei asked, her face full of confusion, cautiously inquiring, "Are you saying that more than one person has a copy of the notebook?"
Yun Yun felt as if she had been mocked again. She drew her sword and pointed it at Ya Fei, "Don't think I really wouldn't dare to kill you."
Ya Fei's ample bosom trembled slightly, her face full of innocence and grievance, "Sect Leader Yun, what exactly do you mean?"
As astute as she was, she had already realized that most of Yun Yun's current rage stemmed from something other than whether the copy was exclusive to one person.
There must be some other reason she wasn't aware of.
Rather than guessing, it was better to ask directly.
"You have a copy of the notebook, so you must have read its contents." Shame and anger almost consumed Yun Yun. She spoke coldly, "You're so smart, how could you not guess that because of Chu Xiao, I wouldn't kill you?"
"Yet you pretended to be ready to sacrifice yourself, which is clearly a mockery of my incompetence."
"You must be very pleased that I had an ambiguous relationship with Chu Xiao, and the Yun Lan Sect still met a tragic end, while you, with your good judgment, can lie flat and go to the Major Thousand Worlds."
"In judging people, I am indeed inferior to you, but that is no reason for you to look down on me!"
Upon hearing this, Ya Fei instantly understood.
The problem lay in the contents of the notebook, which caused Yun Yun to make a false judgment about her.
The ironic thing was that she hadn't even read the contents of the copy yet.
"Hoo~"
Ya Fei let out a sigh of relief.
Yun Yun had said so much, yet she hadn't cleaved her with a sword, which meant that certain contents in the notebook were her protective charm.
However, before determining how hard this charm was, it was better for her to be cautious and not seek death.
Otherwise, she really wanted to gossip and ask, "What do you mean by your ambiguous relationship with Chu Xiao?"
"Cough, cough!" Ya Fei showed a kind smile, "Sect Leader Yun, I told you there was a misunderstanding here. How could I possibly mock you?"
"Perhaps you have some reason not to kill me, but can't you kill someone I value?"
Yun Yun: "..."
If she considered Chu Xiao's attitude, she really couldn't.
"What do you mean by that?" Yun Yun's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"I just got this copy of the notebook and haven't read its contents yet." Ya Fei admitted very frankly.
"Just got it? How could that be?" Yun Yun's eyes showed disbelief, but her hand holding the sword relaxed slightly.
With her strength, she could confirm that Ya Fei was not lying.
"It's true." Ya Fei felt the pressure on her body ease. Her legs went soft, and she sat on the nearby stool, then subtly tightened her thighs and explained with a smile, "I just got it at the door of this room. It appeared out of thin air in front of me."
"You must remember when you asked me to repeat my name, and I was about to answer but paused. That was the moment."
"I was thinking that since you weren't seeing me, I could go back to my room to study it, and then this happened."
"Whether these words are true or false, I believe they cannot escape your Wisdom Eye, Sect Leader Yun."
Yun Yun's pink lips moved slightly: "..."
After this brief conversation, she suddenly felt how terrifying this woman was. No wonder Chu Xiao treated her differently.
This world was not lacking in women with outstanding talent, appearance, temperament, and background.
Instead, women who were intelligent, brave, resourceful, and good at observation were rare.
"I believe you."
Yun Yun put her sword back into her storage ring, then picked up her ancient book from the table.
She frowned in thought, wondering why she and Ya Fei received their copies at different times.
Was there some hidden rule, or some other reason?
[Within three zhang, two recipients facing each other holding a notebook copy can bind each other as friends.]
Just then, an ancient, long-distant voice appeared in Yun Yun and Ya Fei's minds.
Immediately following, they saw their ancient books automatically open, and their own avatars appeared in the upper right corner of the first page, which contained the rules.
"Friend adding function?" Ya Fei licked her lips.
She hadn't even read the contents of the notebook yet, and she had already gained a new use?
"Add." Ya Fei confirmed immediately.
"Add." Yun Yun didn't hesitate either.
Since they already knew they both possessed copies, this friend function could be used.
[Both parties have passed, binding is successful, auxiliary abilities are enabled.]
[Letter: Enabled when the number of friends is greater than one. Within the Dou Qi Continent, ignore distance and send messages to friends (number of sends is equal to the number of times the host's name is mentioned in the diary).]
[Transaction: Enabled when the number of friends is greater than five. Within the Dou Qi Continent, ignore distance and trade items once remotely.]
[Intercommunication: Enabled when the number of friends is greater than ten. Within the Dou Qi Continent, ignore distance and can travel to and from a friend's side once a day.]
[When the host (Chu Xiao)'s strength surpasses Dou Di, auxiliary abilities will be fully upgraded.]
"Terrifying as... hiss!"
Yun Yun and Ya Fei simultaneously gasped in sync.
All three functions could ignore distance within the Dou Qi Continent.
From sending messages, to transferring items, to being able to transport people, each was more powerful than the last.
Involving space, at least the Peak Dou Huang Realm was needed, but even at Dou Zong, it was only preliminary control of spatial power.
Legend has it that Dou Zun powerhouses could play tricks with spatial power, but only within a certain range.
Such spatial means within the Dou Qi Continent range, even a Dou Sheng probably couldn't do it. It must be the legendary Dou Di, right?
Using this ability well, transmitting intelligence, exploring dangerous ruins and Ancient Tombs, and sending aid at critical moments could all be achieved.
But the premise was to maintain a good relationship with friends, so they would be willing to help you at critical moments!
The two women almost simultaneously thought of this point, and their gazes towards each other carried goodwill.
"I only have one chance to use the letter." Ya Fei's red lips twitched slightly, "So, my name only appeared once in the notebook?"
"Chu Xiao first mentioned you in the content he just wrote about a quarter of an hour ago." Yun Yun nodded slightly.
After speaking, a flash of light crossed her mind, and she felt as if she had grasped something.
At this moment, Ya Fei asked, "Sister Yun Yun, how many chances do you have to send letters?"
Sister Yun Yun?
Yun Yun admired Ya Fei's ability to take advantage of the situation but didn't correct her, instead accepting it.
With Chu Xiao around, Ya Fei's future was limitless, not to mention she now possessed a copy of the notebook.
Yun Yun: [Not that many. You'll know if you count my name when you read the notebook content.]
Ya Fei found a "one" appearing on her avatar in the ancient book.
Clicking it open, it was a letter message sent by Yun Yun.
Ya Fei: "..."
What a display of wealth and power.
"It really works. This is truly a great Opportunity." Yun Yun leaned closer to Ya Fei, also able to see the information on her copy.
Now, she understood why the notebook copy hadn't disappeared, and her memory hadn't been Sealed.
As long as they were both owners of a notebook copy, they were implicitly allowed to share information about the notebook copy with each other.
"The intercommunication function only unlocks with ten or more friends." Ya Fei sat with one leg crossed over her knee, her lively eyes flickering, "This means there are at least ten owners of the copy, and this copy encourages us to make friends and get to know each other."
"But it doesn't tell us the criteria for owning a copy, so it's hard for us to search for people. Searching randomly might also leak the copy's information to irrelevant people, triggering the memory Seal rule."
"We need to figure out the rule for owning a copy."
Yun Yun: ?
Why did she feel like something had splashed on her face?
