Bai Yun walked over and squatted beside Qingshan, looking at Yin'er curiously and asked, "Qingshan, is this the wolfdog you rescued in Hong Kong Island? It's so beautiful——!"

After Bai Yun was freed from her unrequited love, her whole mental outlook was completely renewed. Several teammates of the same age expressed their affection for her, and it was like a blooming peach blossom among them.

"Sister Yun, it's called Silver Ear. You can touch it."

Bai Yun's eyes lit up. She had liked small animals like cats and dogs since she was a child. Unfortunately, she was on missions all year round and it was common for her not to go home for several months. She could even kill a turtle, so she couldn't even think about raising a pet cat or dog.

She had noticed Qingshan's wolfhound a long time ago and had wanted to pet it on the plane, but unfortunately, Bai Hezheng's video conference lasted from takeoff to landing, so she hadn't had the chance. Now with Qingshan's permission, Bai Yun reached out her soft hand and gently rubbed Yin'er's head. The furry feel made Bai Yun rub it a few more times.

Yin'er showed Bai Yun her signature smile, which instantly made Bai Yun's eyes pop with love: "So, so cute——!"

Qingshan nodded, thinking that Silver Ear was indeed very cute. However, the soldiers who were secretly watching Qingshan's every move were frowning and muttering in their hearts:

This big wolfdog ignored us and refused to eat the beef patties. It even showed its teeth and scared people when we touched it. It has a very bad temper. How come it would grin and act cute when a beautiful girl touched it a few times? In this world, even dogs know that appearance is everything. It's really enough!

Five or six minutes later, Hong Deng came back and threw himself into Qingshan's arms, begging for a touch: "Master, Lun Jia is back, Nirvana!"

Qingshan held the red light and sent it a stream of spiritual power, which made the red light almost burp.

"Deng'er, what did you find?"

"Master, there are a dozen dilapidated houses ahead, all pitch black. Please keep an eye on them!"

After saying that, Hongdeng transmitted what it saw to Qingshan. Half a minute later, the image disappeared and Qingshan's eyes became clear again.

"Qingshan, how is it?"

"Wujia Village is about a kilometer ahead. The village is very desolate, with only the largest courtyard in the middle having lights."

After Qingshan finished speaking with Bai Yun and Yin Zheluo, he retracted the red light into his space and took the lead, leading the group towards Wujia Village. Following the route depicted in the video, Qingshan quickly entered the village. Using the cover of darkness, the twelve men and one dog silently approached the large house in the center of the village. When they were a hundred meters away, they stopped moving forward, and Yin Zheluo dispatched earth-type warriors to use their supernatural powers to investigate the movements within.

Unexpectedly, before the earth warrior could find out anything, the door of the big house creaked open. With the light of the candle that sneaked in from the house, Qingshan saw an old man with a thin neck and sloping shoulders standing at the door, nodding and smiling at where they were hiding.

"Fellow Daoist, could you please show yourself?"

Qingshan was stunned. "Fellow Daoist?" Only those who practice Taoism would address each other as fellow Daoist. What was this person's identity? Who was the fellow Daoist he was talking about?

The sloping-shouldered old man waited for a moment, and seeing no reaction from outside the courtyard, he spoke loudly, "Little Daoist friend, there's no need to hide. I already knew when your spirit pet arrived. It's freezing outside, so please come in and have a chat!"

Having said that, Qingshan couldn't help but understand that the "Daoyou" the old man was talking about was herself! Tuanzi had said that there were still immortal cultivators in this world. Although most of them were in the Qi Refining Stage and had low magic power, they were more than enough to deal with mortals.

The old man was certain that Qingshan was a fellow traveler, and he must have noticed the spiritual power she wrapped around Hongdeng to protect it from the cold.

At this point, there was no point in Qingshan hiding any longer. He was about to stand up, but Yin Zheluo grabbed him and said, "Advisor Chen, be careful! There's a trap!"

Qingshan smiled, not trying to lower his voice, and said to Yin Zheluo, "Captain Yin, this man is no ordinary villager. We've been exposed long ago. Since he invited us in, why don't we go in and have a cup of tea? It's better than staying here and starving!"
