A trace of surprise flashed across Xi Shiyan's eyes, "...Why did my cousin leave?"

Madam Xi said, "Then I don't know. You might as well go and ask yourself."

Xi Shiyan said goodbye to Madam Xi and hurried to Yunyao Courtyard.

Ning Yu was packing her luggage with Xuan'er at this time.

Ning Yu caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards him. He was dressed in tattered clothes and walked slowly. "Cousin? Why are you here?"

Xi Shiyan gave Xuan'er a look. Xuan'er glanced at Ning Yu and only retreated after seeing the young lady nod slightly.

Xi Shiyan's brows were gloomy, his nose was high, his thin lips were slightly parted, and his voice was a little suppressed, "Cousin, why...why did you leave?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask more was, was it because she hated him that she couldn't wait to leave?

But he didn't dare ask.

Ning Yu said truthfully, "My sister has been found, I must go back."

Xi Shiyan lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the darkness in his eyes. Although the corners of his lips were raised, there was no smile on his face. "Then when will you leave?"

"It should be in the next few days."

Xi Shiyan glanced at the luggage behind Ning Yu, and his smile faded a little. "Then I'll give you a ride."

Ning Yu responded.

The two didn't talk for too long, and Xi Shiyan left quickly, heading towards Xuanluo Pavilion.

Xuanluo Pavilion.

The man in black clothes was still sitting on the soft couch. He glanced at the newcomer and asked, "Brother, why are you here today?"

"She's leaving."

Xi Shiyan spat out four words coldly.

Xi Shiye was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "Why?"

Xi Shiyan relayed Ning Yu's reasons to Xi Shiye. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his expression was filled with frost. "I always feel that if she leaves, she will never return to the capital."

Xi Shiye's mouth curled up slowly, full of madness, "Then we'll keep her here."

Xi Shiyan could vaguely guess what Xi Shiye was going to do, so he just warned her coldly, "Don't hurt her."

The next day.

It was the day when the women of the Xi family were preparing to go to the temple to burn incense.

This time, two young masters from the mansion and cousin Ning Yu accompanied him.

Ning Yu, Xi Jiayu and Xi Jiawei were in the same carriage.

Xi Jiayu supported her chin with both hands, a little confused, "Why did big brother and second brother come along?"

Xi Jiawei echoed, "It seems to be related to my second brother. He said he happened to be going to the temple to be baptized."

Ning Yu didn't care because he was about to leave.

Jiming Temple.

Ning Yu and the Xi family walked up the stone steps. There were strong incense, distant bell sounds, and the sound of chanting scriptures was endless.

The little monk clasped his hands together and bowed to the Xi family members, welcoming them inside.

After burning incense, the Xi family did not leave, but prepared to eat vegetarian food in the temple and listen to the abbot worship Buddha.

The younger generations couldn't stay at all.

Xi Jiawei and Xi Jiayu had already sneaked out, and brought Ning Yu with them.

Ning Yu followed them and unknowingly walked towards the back of the temple.

The surrounding mountains are stacked one after another, and the canopy is like a forest. From time to time, the clear chirping of birds can be heard, occasionally mixed with the roar of wild beasts.

Seeing that Xi Jiayu and Xi Jiawei wanted to go deeper, Ning Yu quickly dissuaded them, "Don't go any further. I just thought I heard the cry of a wild beast."

Xi Jiawei was somewhat disdainful. "My fifth sister and I always come here to burn incense, and we have never encountered this before. If you don't want to, go back."

Xi Jiayu also nodded, "Sister Yu, don't worry, it's safe. There's a magnolia tree in front, I was thinking of picking a few to take back..."

Xi Jiawei was a little impatient and pulled Xi Jiayu's hand, "Don't worry about her..."

The two of them walked inside.

Ning Yu gritted his teeth and followed.

But perhaps because the two of them were walking too fast or for some other reason, Ning Yu couldn't catch up with them in the blink of an eye.

Ning Yu hesitated for a while and continued to move forward.

But Xi Jiawei and Xi Jiayu were nowhere to be found.

As they were going deeper and deeper, Ning Yu suddenly heard the howl of a wild beast, which was so terrifying that it made people shiver.

Ning Yu thought that Xi Jiawei and Xi Jiayu were still inside, so she didn't dare to think too much and hurried inside. She wanted to call their names, but was afraid of attracting the attention of the beasts.

Suddenly, a wild wolf appeared in front of Ning Yu. It was gray in color except for the snow-white cap on its head. Its eyes flashed with green light. It looked majestic and awe-inspiring. It continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to Ning Yu.

Ning Yu subconsciously stepped back and was about to call the system.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure appearing from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Second cousin, don't come over, there are wolves here..."

Xi Shiye strode forward as if he hadn't heard anything. Seeing a wild wolf not far away, he drew his sword and said, "Cousin, you go first. I'll block it for you..."

At this time, the wolf suddenly pounced towards them, and Xi Shiye directly blocked Ning Yu behind him.

The wolf knocked Xi Shiye to the ground, opened its mouth wide, and bit Xi Shiye's neck.

Xi Shiye raised his hand to block it with his arm.

"Puff", the sound of sharp teeth biting into flesh.

Ning Yu was shocked.

Xi Shiye suddenly raised his foot and kicked the wolf in the abdomen.

Somehow, the wolf ran away.

Ning Yu didn't notice it either, thinking the wolf was scared. Seeing the two deep bloody holes on the man's arm, he was horrified. He quickly helped Xi Shiye up and asked worriedly,

"Second cousin, is your hand okay?"

Although Xi Shiye was wearing a silver mask, his lips were pale and desolate. "Cousin, I'm fine..."

The next second, he seemed to have lost his balance and fell onto Ning Yu's body.
