"Me? Really? Has my appearance become a secret known to all people on earth?" Qi Yue looked somewhat curious.

Hai Ruyue gave him a cold glance and said, "Don't forget, you are the King of the Zodiac Guardians, and naturally, you should also be the leader of all Eastern Guardians. The Kirin is an ancient divine beast. Once the bloodline inside you awakens, it will naturally emit the aura of the king. Ordinary people may not feel this fluctuation of energy, but the Eastern Guardians, who possess capabilities far beyond ordinary people, can clearly sense it. Also, they know that the Kirin is most vulnerable when it first appears, and the Zodiac Guardians wouldn't be all present as well. Therefore, they would seize such an opportunity."

Ming Ming said, "Sister Ru Yue, does Qi Yue really have to go? In three months, he could hardly possess any more strength. I think the three of us should go. With you, the Tiger, and me, it should be enough."

Hai Ruyue shook her head and said, "Ming Ming, things are not as simple as you think. The powers held by those ancient Eastern families that have been settling for countless years are enormous, and they all have their own systems. I have just approached the Sixth Cloud Realm. If I could reach the seventh, they would dare not provoke."

Ming Ming asked, "What should we do then? Do we actually have to bring Qi Yue along?"

Hai Ruyue gave Qi Yue a glance and said, "As the King of the Zodiac Guardians, he must appear. Otherwise, it would seem like we are afraid of those people. In the next three months, we all have to work hard, we can't rely on him. We can only increase our strength as much as possible. At this time, we don't need to defeat everyone, we just need to show our strength as Zodiac Guardians. Once the Twelve Zodiac Warriors gather, they will no longer have a chance."

After hearing Hai Ruyue's words, Qi Yue's facial muscles twitched a little, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. This was not the first time he was looked down upon, but being underestimated by a woman filled him with anger. However, Qi Yue didn't show it. He knew that from their perspective, everything Hai Ruyue said was true. Based on past events of Kirin, three months, or even three years, may not be enough for him to become powerful. In their eyes, his main role was to unite the Twelve Zodiac Warriors rather than to fight. If that was the case, then just wait. Almost a hundred days in three months, couldn't he really gain enough strength? Thinking of this, Qie Yue's fists involuntarily clenched tight, his heart filled with a strong desire for power.

Ming Ming nodded and said, "We have no choice then. Since we've already received the challenge letter, we can't continue our studies here. Sister Ru Yue, I'll go to find the three newly discovered Zodiac Guardians tomorrow, then immediately take them to Master Zagru in Tibet for their awakening. Though three months isn't a long time, at least they could gain strength equivalent to the Initial Cloud Realm. Sister Mo Di has considerable strength herself. Maybe by that time our power will be stronger. With Master Zagru, we can concentrate on cultivating for a period of time. For now, we'll have to put our academic commitments on hold."

Hai Ruyue nodded and said, "I was thinking the same. I have already gathered all the information about these people after receiving your call. I will go with you to handle this matter tomorrow. I will take care of the academic issues." Although it was a simple statement, it already showed the influence Hai Ruyue had.

Ming Ming turned to Qi Yue, "What about you? Do you want to come with us? You can focus on cultivating while with Master Zagru."

Qi Yue shook his head and replied, "No, you guys go ahead. I'll wait at Qingbei for you to return. What can I do there anyway? Cultivation is useless to me."

Hai Ruyue glanced at Qi Yue contemptuously and said, "Suit yourself. There's indeed no use for you to cultivate. But, there's something else I called you here for today. There are a few items I want to give you. Although you can't achieve anything with three months of cultivation, if you can apply these items properly, you can at least save your life."

Qi Yue was taken aback, "What items?"

Hai Ruyue didn't respond. Instead, she walked up to a wall, lightly pressed on the wallpaper, and a crevice wide enough for a person to pass through emerged as the wall cracked open on either side.

Not only was Qi Yue astonished, even Ji Mingming curiously asked, "Sister Ru Yue, there are hidden mechanisms here too?"

Hai Ruyue calmly replied, "This is what Master Zageru entrusted me to guard. It shouldn't be given to him yet, but under the sudden circumstances, if we don't let him have a bit of life-saving ability, we can't afford any accidents. Come with me." With that, she was the first to enter the crevice.

The three of them followed the crevice and went in, and the wall behind them naturally closed up. This was an isolated room, Hai Ruyue unknowingly pressed something and a faint glow immediately appeared on the walls of the room, illuminating every corner of the room.

Qi Yue suddenly felt an inexplicable breath, that incredibly powerful sensation made his body shudder slightly. Then, as if this breath had found a kindred spirit, it crazily rushed into his body. Qi Yue could not help but grunt softly, and his body swayed slightly, staggering a step backward. The energy he had started to cultivate that day naturally started operating, quickly accepting this stimulating breath. He clearly felt that every cell in his body seemed to have become energized and the speed of his internal energy operation was at least over three times what it was during his training today.

The voice of Hai Ruyue resounded, "This secret room was built with special materials, that can isolate all energy fluctuations. Qi Yue, you can take your belonging yourself. If you can't take it away, it means it doesn't acknowledge you yet."

It seemed that Qi Yue hadn't heard Hai Ruyue's words; his eyes were entirely captivated and landed on a metal desk on the innermost wall of the room.

There were three items on that desk; to the left was a tray with a piece of clothing, the fabric seemed very ordinary, its design was hard to distinguish. On the right, a glass ball, a faint glow circulating inside it, changing colors each flash, going through a cycle of purple, blue, red, and green. That immense aura had come from this light ball earlier.

Then right in the middle of the desk laid a scale, it was a brilliant, diamond-shaped red scale with slightly raised lines. The red, similar to dripping blood, glimmered with a somewhat bewitching glow; a faint red light gave the room's atmosphere a slightly eerie feel.

Mingming and Hai Ruyue moved to the side, Qi Yue took a few steps and stopped in front of the desk. He raised his hand as if he wanted to grab one of the items, but his hand stopped midway in the air, "Hai Ruyue, what are these?" His voice was unusually calm. Neither Hai Ruyue nor Mingming could hear any emotional fluctuations from it.

Hai Ruyue replied nonchalantly, "These three items are the long-lost treasured possessions of the Kylin. They were originally eight, but, after countless tribulations, only these three are left. If you can find all the eight Treasures of the Kylin, perhaps you might truly gain the power of the Kylin."

Qi Yue's heart trembled a bit. He could very distinctly feel the close connection between himself and these three items before his eyes. They were inexplicably real, far more intimate than the feeling when he first met Xie Zhi. As if they themselves were a part of his body.

"It's them, it's really them." The supposedly dormant Xie zhi was astounded at the bottom of Qi Yue's heart.

"What is it?" Qi Yue asked in his heart.

Xie Zhi hurriedly said, "It's the Kylin's Eight Treasures! Ah! I understand now. I finally understand why the Kylin chose to pass their bloodline to humans despite knowing that humans couldn't inherit the Kylin Bloodline's true cultivation method. "

"It's because of these Kylin Eight Treasures you're talking about?" Qi Yue inquired with confusion.
