When Xiao Zhuang found Ao Qian, Ao Qian had injured his leg, which had been simply bandaged and seemed to be fine.
She quickly sent a telepathic message to Song Xiwei.
After Song Xiwei arrived at the meeting point, she saw Ao Qian acting very cautiously on his own.
"Sister Wei, weren't you worried about him? Now that we've finally found him, why aren't you..." Xiao Zhuang looked at Song Xiwei in surprise, only to find that Song Xiwei just stared at Aoqian several times to confirm, without going out to support Aoqian or letting him know that she had come along.
“This is his experience, not mine. Although I was worried about his situation, he is much better off than I imagined.” Song Xiwei had imagined many things before finding Aoqian.
It's highly likely that Ao Qian has already broken the contract and used demonic magic...
But the result was that Aoqian kept his promise, and although he was a little injured, he was so tenacious and resilient, showing great resilience and hidden strength.
It seems that he is truly growing in places he can't see.
Suddenly, Song Xiwei was filled with confidence in Aoqian.
If she were to appear before Aoqian at this moment, it would be disrespectful to him.
Xiao Zhuang stared at Song Xiwei for a moment, then looked at Ao Qian, and felt that perhaps he was overthinking things.
However, before the two could relax, Aoqian encountered a problem.
A group of about seven or eight people, including one who was a master of perception, sensed Ao Qian's presence.
As a result, Aoqian's hiding place was exposed, and he was surrounded by those people.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhuang looked at Song Xiwei, wondering if Song Xiwei should make a move now.
The reason she was so eager to find Aoqian was because she was afraid something had happened to him, right?
However, Song Xiwei did not, but stared at Aoqian with a solemn expression.
Surrounded by a group of people, Aoqian remained calm and expressionless.
Then, Xiao Zhuang's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw Ao Qian crouch down, clutching his head.
The group launched a full-scale attack on Aoqian. After they finished attacking and confirmed that Aoqian was no longer breathing, they stopped and left.
Xiao Zhuang was stunned. "What's going on? Was he beaten to death?"
Song Xiwei did not answer Xiao Zhuang, but kept her gaze fixed on Ao Qian, who was lying motionless on the ground.
Sure enough, not long after, Aoqian sat up.
This time he had several bruises on his body, but they looked like only superficial injuries, and he didn't seem to have much trouble getting up from the ground.
"Sister Wei, did he fake his death?" Xiao Zhuang suddenly realized.
Song Xiwei smiled slightly. "That's not a bad idea, but he's actually taking the time to learn defensive techniques at this critical juncture."
Song Xiwei's words finally made Xiao Zhuang notice that Ao Qian was actually holding a defense manual.
It seems that Aoqian has realized his current situation. Speed is not so easy to improve, but his ability to withstand beatings has improved through repeated beatings. He uses the attacks from those cultivators to enhance his own defense.
But the brilliance lies in the fact that Aoqian's fake death was so seamless that it was practically flawless.
Moreover, judging from his reaction, he has probably used similar tricks many times before, otherwise he wouldn't have been so skilled just now.
Xiao Zhuang was wondering what Ao Qian would do next when he suddenly noticed that Song Xiwei's expression was off.
"Sister Wei, what's wrong?"
"The city lord of the Trial Grounds, if I remember correctly, seems to have had some connection with Ye Xiaoning."
"You suspect that Martial Uncle Ye Xiaoning is connected to the disappearance of the City Lord of the Trial Grounds?"
Song Xiwei did not answer Xiao Zhuang's question, but seemed to be deep in thought.
