Kong Rui frowned. It was obvious that she was still very worried about this matter.

Chao Bai naturally saw through Kong Rui’s intentions. “Why don’t we go take a look?”

Kong Rui glanced at Chao Bai and saw that his eyes were shining. She knew that he was just curious and not concerned about the Demon Abyss at all.

Kong Rui originally wanted to go see the situation, but although the Li family’s patriarch and a few elders looked useless, their cultivation levels were far above Kong Rui’s.

If she rushed over rashly, she wouldn’t be able to escape their eyes. She would be walking into a trap.

Therefore, even though Kong Rui was worried, she didn’t intend to do anything rash.

“Go back and rest early. I still have a competition tomorrow. I’m going to sleep,” Kong Rui said. Without giving Chao Bai a chance to speak, she grabbed his arm and pushed him out.

Seeing that Kong Rui was adamant, Chao Bai could only walk out.

Kong Rui thought of something again and grabbed Chao Bai’s arm. Her eyes were filled with warning. “You’re not allowed to go alone!”

As if she had discovered his secret, Chao Bai immediately fell silent.

Kong Rui sighed. “You said that you would listen to me in the Li family’s residence!”

When Chao Bai heard Kong Rui use this excuse again, he suddenly regretted agreeing to this.

Helpless, Chao Bai could only nod and agree. “I won’t go. Go and rest!” With that, he walked towards his room.

As Kong Rui lay on the bed with Little Lion lying on the edge of her bed, she looked out at the brightly lit room. “Master, why do you think that Second Elder was suddenly…”

As Kong Rui stared at the bed curtains above her head, she didn’t feel sleepy at all. She turned around and looked at Little Lion. “Do you think it’s the Demon Abyss?”

Little Lion immediately shook its head and said firmly, “No!”

“Master, you should know that if not for the fact that you haven’t been in the Demon Abyss for long and haven’t really been sealed, you definitely wouldn’t have been able to leave the Demon Abyss. Moreover, after you left the Demon Abyss, your body was still affected by the seal. Those people in the Demon Abyss, especially Old Demon Tang, are even more unlikely to leave the Demon Abyss!”

Listening to Little Lion’s analysis, Kong Rui also felt that she was overthinking.

However, who could absorb the cultivation of others and even specifically choose the Second Elder of the Li family?

Kong Rui sighed and turned around to lie on the bed again. “Sigh! I don’t want to think about it anymore! Tomorrow’s competition is more important!”

“That’s right! We still have to save the little phoenix! That princess is simply crazy!” Little Lion immediately cursed.

“The little phoenix told me that the princess has been using a secret technique to trap her and whip her every day! I only hope that the princess herself can suffer the punishment of being whipped one day! No! She should be skinned alive!” The more Little Lion spoke, the angrier it became, but it didn’t realize that Kong Rui had fallen asleep.

Early the next morning, when Kong Rui woke up, she felt strange all over.

She couldn’t describe that feeling. It was as if something had changed, but she couldn’t really sense it.

Kong Rui frowned and tried to ignore this feeling.

She had something important to do today. She couldn’t be distracted by anything else!

As soon as she walked out of the room, Kong Rui saw a few servants tidying up something.

Kong Rui walked forward. Before she could speak, the servants noticed her and immediately turned around to bow.

Kong Rui waved her hand and looked at what they had prepared.

It seemed to be some things used for car frames and a set of clothes that the Li family’s patriarch had given her to keep up appearances.

“Miss, you’re awake. Let me help you change,” a short maid said to Kong Rui respectfully.

Kong Rui nodded and didn’t refuse.

The Li family’s patriarch had been working hard to create prestige for her, so she had no reason to refuse. As for those luxurious clothes, she had never worn them before, so she naturally wouldn’t wear them herself now. She could only let these servants put them on for her.

After returning to the room, the maid obediently helped Li Kongrui put it on. She didn’t forget to flatter her. “Your looks are really the best in the Li family! I believe that if you win the spirit beast competition this time, the patriarch will choose you as the future master of the Li family!”
