Chapter 646: Testing

A hint of suspicion flashed across Baili Muchen's eyes, and he thought to himself, could this girl be here to spy on the details of their Zhutian Alliance?

After all, in recent years, there have been countless people coveting their Zhutian Alliance, so there is no guarantee that this is not a new tactic of theirs.

Luo Li's eyes flashed with thought, and she pretended to be helpless and explained, "I have some things to deal with in Shenxiao City these days, which will take about seven days."

The vigilance in Baili Muchen's eyes faded a little. Shenxiao City...

He frowned slightly, and asked with a hint of tentativeness in his tone, "Is the girl from Shenxiao City?"

Luo Li nodded and said with a smile, "Ye Yuan, the Lord of Jinglong Territory, is my friend."

Baili Muchen's eyes flickered when he heard this, as if he had thought of something. A relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So you're Ye Yuan's friend."

Luo Li nodded and smiled faintly, "Can you rest assured now?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly. Baili Muchen still recognized Ye Yuan?

Baili Muchen was unusually embarrassed. He had never expected that his thoughts could be seen through. He coughed lightly and said, "Of course I'm relieved."

After Baili Muchen finished speaking, he unconsciously shifted his gaze to the distant mountains. The candlelight sprinkled on his profile, giving it a soft golden edge.

He gently brushed off the non-existent dust on his robe, with a barely perceptible awkwardness in his movements, as if he was trying to hide his embarrassment.

Seeing this, Luo Li curled up the corner of her mouth into a faint smile, but did not expose him.

Baili Muchen coughed lightly, glanced sideways at Hongying, whose eyes were wandering, and said helplessly, "Hongying."

Hongying smiled awkwardly, "Yes."

Baili Muchen pressed his forehead, but ultimately said nothing. He simply handed Luo Li a token and said, "We'll be passing through Shenxiao City on our way back in a few days. How about you join us to the Zhutian Alliance?"

Luo Li took the token, which was emitting a faint aura and an ancient atmosphere.

She gently stroked the edge of the token, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Hongying was peeking at him from the side, muttering to herself, since Baili was willing to give her this token, it seemed that this girl's identity was quite extraordinary.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing the three people's clothes to flutter gently. Luo Li said goodbye, "In that case, I will return to Shenxiao City first."

Baili Muchen smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Luo Li nodded, turned around, tore open the space crack and disappeared from the influence.

In the night wind, Baili Muchen and Hongying's hair danced lightly in the wind, slightly intertwined.

Hongying looked at her receding figure, with both confusion and inexplicable expectation in her eyes, while Baili Muchen stood quietly in place, his eyes deep, as if he could penetrate space, following Luo Li's figure until it disappeared into the sky.

The moonlight was as bright as water, sprinkling on the open space in the dense forest, covering the quiet night with a layer of silver gauze.

The figures of Baili Muchen and Hongying appeared particularly soft under the moonlight.

Hongying gently smoothed her hair that was messed up by the night wind, her gaze still fixed on the direction where Luo Li disappeared, with a hint of worry on her face.

Baili Muchen stared into the distance, with an indescribable loneliness and determination lingering around him.

Could it be her?

On the other side, Luo Li left the dense forest and walked slowly on the road.

Barrett walked beside her, frowning slightly and asked, "When did you have something urgent to do?"

How come Barrett didn't know that she had urgent matters?

Luo Li glanced at him sideways, shook her head helplessly, and said, "I just want to go back to Shenxiao City to investigate the news of the Zhutian League and give them a break for two days so that my news can be passed on to more people in the Zhutian League."

The moonlight sprinkled on the path where Luo Li and Barrett were walking side by side. She gently stroked a swaying spiritual flower by the side of the road, and a deep look flashed in her eyes.

"I must find out the details of the Zhutian League. At least for now, I can't trust them."

Luo Li whispered, her voice drifting away with the wind, and even the air seemed to be heavy with it.

Upon hearing this, Barrett followed her steps and saw Luo Li's figure gradually moving away. Each step she took was full of unquestionable determination, as if she was walking step by step towards the depths of an unknown and dangerous fate.

He exhaled and took a few steps to catch up, "So that's how it is."

Luo Li nodded and looked up at him, "Let's go back to Shenxiao City."

Barrett was stunned. "Aren't you going to look for those people from Yunyin Valley?"

Luo Li smiled faintly and said, "I'm not going."

The two walked side by side on the winding mountain path, Luo Li's steps firm and light.

The mountain breeze blew gently, causing her long, inky hair to flutter gently, like a moving painting.

Barrett followed closely behind, his eyes full of determination. The two figures stretched out in the moonlight and gradually merged into the deep darkness in the distance.

The outline of Shenxiao City gradually became clear in the night, and the lights on the city walls were dotted like stars, warm and distant.

Luo Li and Barrett walked through the city gate and stepped onto the exquisite jade-paved street, with closed wooden doors and carved window frames on both sides.

It was early in the morning and there were only a few pedestrians on the street. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.

Domain Lord's Mansion.

When Luo Li returned to the Domain Lord's Mansion, she saw Feng Jiusi and Qin Chuan running around in a panic.

Seeing her coming back, the two of them strode towards her.

Feng Jiusi said helplessly, "Auntie, you are finally back."

Luo Li gave him a puzzled look and said, "I haven't even been away for a day, why are you so anxious?"

Qin Chuan was somewhat helpless. "It's because not only have you not been home for a day, but the Territory Lord and Deputy Territory Lord haven't come back either. Many people came to us today saying they have something to report. And we don't know whether what they said is true or not, so we can only find excuses to get away with it."

Luo Li spread her hands and said, "Even if I were here, there's nothing I can do. I don't know. You all know I was only brought here temporarily."

"Of course we know." Feng Jiusi scratched his head and said a little disappointedly, "But at least you are here. They will listen to what you say. Unlike us, we are like orphans."

Luo Li raised her hand, signaling him to stop, and said, "Okay, I won't be going out for the next few days. Leave this matter to me."

Feng Jiusi chuckled, "That's fine."

Luo Li looked at the two of them and said, "Come sit here, I have something to ask you."

Feng Jiusi and Qin Chuan were a little confused, but nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

Sitting at the stone table under the pavilion, Luo Li asked, "Have you two heard of the Zhutian Alliance?"

Luo Li's eyes looked particularly deep under the blue sky of early morning. The faint candlelight on the stone table flickered, illuminating her delicate face.

Feng Jiusi and Qin Chuan looked at each other and both caught a glimpse of solemnity in each other's eyes.

Zhutian League, this name is like a sharp blade in the dark night, which makes people feel awe.
