An Honghan was well aware of Xi Xizhi's little scheme.
He gently poked the little sable's forehead with his finger. "Master Feng, you grab that white fox and take it out first. I have something to discuss with Feng Yunshao."
Master Feng wasn't stupid; upon hearing those words, he knew that His Majesty wanted to get rid of him.
He was a sensible man, and nodded, saying, "This old Taoist obeys the decree."
With a wave of his hand, the golden net gradually rose from the ground and flew towards Master Feng.
Master Feng reached out and tightly wrapped the fine net around the white fox, rendering it unable to move. "Behave yourself, or this old Taoist will immediately destroy your cultivation and revert you to your original form."
Xi Xizhi glanced at the white fox a few more times.
Master Feng's words seemed to have an effect on it, and the white fox was so frightened that it dared not struggle anymore.
As Xi Xizhi recalled everything she had seen inside the cave, she became increasingly convinced that there must be another entrance or exit to this cave. Otherwise, how could that half-human, half-demon have reached the deepest part of the cave without passing through this place?
Even if a half-demon possesses the ability to transform and enter...
What about Old Man Xu?
Therefore, this cave must have another entrance!
Xi Xizhi was eager to tell An Honghan, so she reached out her paw and patted the back of his hand.
An Honghan quickly understood, his eyes turning cold as he looked at Master Feng and said coldly, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want me to repeat myself a second time?"
An Honghan's tone was unfriendly, and anyone who heard it couldn't help but shiver.
The white fox in Master Feng's arms was already terrified, and when it was intimidated by An Honghan's aura, it shrank into a ball and trembled uncontrollably.
"I'll leave now, I'll leave now... Why must Your Majesty be angry?" Not daring to offend the Emperor's might, Master Feng said as he turned and walked out of the cave.
Since this is a demon's cave, Master Feng was naturally worried about leaving His Majesty alone inside.
They returned from the windy spot to the dark cave and waited, not daring to leave on their own.
"Revert to human form." An Honghan ordered, placing the little sable on the ground.
Slowly, he picked up the clothes that Xi Xizhi had taken off earlier, dusted them off one by one, and then handed them to Xi Xizhi.
Xi Xizhi had no time to feel ashamed; all she could think about was quickly telling An Honghan about Old Man Xu's whereabouts.
What if we arrive too late and that half-demon has moved Old Man Xu to another location?
It will be very difficult to find Old Man Xu again in the future.
He mobilized his spiritual power to transform, and a silver light enveloped Xi Xizhi. After the light faded, the naked seven or eight-year-old child reappeared.
The diamond-shaped red mark in the center of Xi Xizhi's forehead was delicate and beautiful, like a red rose petal.
An Honghan shifted his gaze from the red mark and slowly asked, "What are you so eager to say? Have you discovered the whereabouts of Grand Preceptor Xu?"
An Honghan spoke in a slow and methodical tone, creating an atmosphere that made people feel no tension at all.
Xi Xizhi considered her words for a moment before saying, "Not only that, I also found a person inside... no, I should say half-human. He has fallen into the demonic path, neither human nor demon. At least I think... that person's cultivation is much higher than that of the white fox, and the white fox is also under his command."
I had long suspected that the disappearance of Grand Preceptor Xu was not simple. His disappearance within the territory of Fengze Kingdom would more or less affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
However, given Fengze Kingdom's national strength, they are not afraid of any other country. They are the strongest nation on this continent and have every reason to be confident.
Even so, An Honghan could not tolerate the person behind the scenes who was causing trouble.
This is the first time someone has dared to run wild in Fengze Kingdom. If this person is not found, how will An Honghan save face?
"A half-demon? No wonder Fengze Kingdom hasn't been very peaceful lately, with one natural disaster and man-made calamity after another." First came the floods, and now the National Preceptor Xu has gone missing. For some reason, An Honghan rarely showed a thoughtful expression.
One or two times can be considered natural disasters, but if it happens too often, it will inevitably be considered man-made disasters.
Seeing his expression turn serious, Xi Xizhi's breath caught in her throat. She thought to herself, "Could this be the calm before the storm?"
An Honghan glanced around and saw a child looking apprehensive, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
"I didn't say anything. Who are you putting on that solemn look for? With me by your side, I'll protect you from any storm. Why worry?"
Even if it meant getting into trouble himself, An Honghan would not allow Xi Xizhi to suffer any harm.
The idea popped into my head so suddenly that I didn't even think about it.
An Honghan was used to living alone, and in his eyes, there was no one else but himself.
This was the first time he had ever tried so hard to protect someone, even though that person wasn't a real 'person'.
Seeing that An Honghan still hadn't reacted after a long time, Xi Xizhi became a little impatient and tugged at his robe, "Hurry up and go find Old Man Xu. He doesn't look well. If we don't rescue him soon, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
Recalling Old Xu's expression at that time, Xi Xizhi was filled with worry.
Old Xu was in relatively good health before, but as people get older, their energy is naturally not as good as when they were young.
Xi Xizhi was worried that Old Man Xu's old bones couldn't withstand the strain, and if he kicked the bucket, it would be terrible.
