"Where did you hide Ah Yue? Ah Yue treats you well with all her heart. Are you going to sacrifice her for a so-called illusory formation?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people present felt a little more at ease.
Xie Feng had no idea Xu Xing had hidden Li Zhaoyue in this house. Now that he'd been captured, his every move would be under everyone's scrutiny, and he certainly wouldn't cause any major disturbance. Furthermore, they'd been busy maintaining the formation these days, leaving Xu Xing the most free, so Xie Feng was the most suitable person to leave the case to.
He Kongzhi rubbed his sore temples and said, "Then I'll stay with you. It won't be long anyway."
Xu Xing said yes, and then forcibly dragged Xie Feng out. As the hall got farther and farther away from them, Xie Feng struggled more and more fiercely. Finally, when Xu Xing wasn't paying attention, he broke free from the ropes and flew towards the door.
Xu Xing stood there, folding his arms and raising an eyebrow. A moment later, Xie Feng came back dejected.
"Why did you come back?" Xu Xing asked sarcastically. Xie Feng gave him a wry smile and looked at him: "You didn't even give me a chance to leave. I might as well save some energy."
"You don't have to be so bitter and resentful." Xu Xing took him to the west room, flicked the dust off his sleeves in disgust, and said.
Xie Feng looked coldly at the dusty room in front of him, frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"You're a prisoner now. It's good enough to have a room to stay in. Don't be picky." Xu Xing seemed to be in a good mood and smiled at him. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, making people feel upset. Xie Feng turned around and was stunned as soon as he stepped into the room.
In the center of the room sat an unexpected person.
Song Shiyu.
There was a sword next to her, his Meteor Sword. Xie Feng turned around and tried to leave, but Xu Xing kicked him inside and locked the door.
"Xu Xing! Let me out!" Xie Feng kept knocking on the door and yelled. Xu Xing, with a smile on his face, paced slowly in front of the door: "How is it? Haven't you been looking for her? I found her for you now, shouldn't you be happy?"
"Xu Xing! Let me out! Where did you hide Ah Yue?!"
Xu Xing ignored Xie Feng's shouts and walked quickly to the east. This room he had specially arranged was very far away from Li Zhaoyue's room. Even if Xie Feng shouted at the top of his lungs, Li Zhaoyue would not be able to hear anything.
Xie Feng leaned against the door and stamped his feet in anger. Song Shiyu sat quietly at the table, watching Xie Feng's movements with interest, and said, "Long time no see, Brother Xie."
Xie Feng took a big step forward and grabbed her throat tightly: "Are you in cahoots with him?"
Song Shiyu coughed a few times and said with a smile: "No, he also caught me in."
"What?" Xie Feng let go of his hand. Song Shiyu pushed him away and gave him a vicious look: "If you are discovered, I will be discovered too."
Xie Feng suddenly remembered the subordinate who had exchanged guard duties with him, and couldn't help but ask, "That was you?"
"What else?" Song Shiyu said impatiently.
"What on earth are they trying to do by locking you and me up here?" Xie Feng sat down uneasily and wanted to take the Meteor Sword, but found that his connection with the sword was blocked by something.
Song Shiyu reached out his hand and gently touched the sword, saying helplessly, "Their formation requires flesh and blood. Before the formation is activated, the flesh and blood of immortal cultivators is the most suitable. So they won't kill us, but they'll lock us up together. That's my request."
Xie Feng locked his eyes on her and asked, "Why?"
"Haven't you been looking for Li Zhaoyue?" Song Shiyu brought up another topic. The ice in Xie Feng's eyes suddenly melted, and Song Shiyu finally saw a hint of life in his eyes.
She gave a wry smile.
"What do you know?" Xie Feng asked excitedly.
Song Shiyu lowered her head and looked at the hem of her red skirt spreading out. The edge of the skirt trembled slightly because of the swinging of her legs, like a blooming rose.
"Li Zhaoyue is in this house. We can stay together and work together to find a way to rescue her." Song Shiyu said softly.
Upon hearing the news, Xie Feng stood up from the chair with a bang. The wind blew up her skirt, and the petals of the roses scattered all over.
"Is the news true?"
Song Shiyu nodded.
Xie Feng was very happy, and the resentment that Xu Xing had just provoked immediately dissipated. After a while, he seemed to have just reacted and suddenly asked, "You... why did you want to help me save her?"
Song Shiyu smiled and said, "Of course it's because I can't stand Xu Xing. Li Zhaoyue is such a lovely girl, how could I let Xu Xing snatch her away?"
She said so, but she was thinking in her heart: "If Xu Xing hadn't threatened her, she wouldn't have come here."
Yes, Xu Xing had used the antidote to coerce her into keeping Xie Feng here, and to get the Xie family's divine bone. Last time at the Golden Immortal Terrace, the fake medical immortal had given her something fake; not only did it not cure her poison, it actually made it worse.
She nearly died the last time she had an attack. Wei Zhegu also died. Now there was no one to help her suppress the poison. Without an antidote, she would not live long.
Therefore, her biggest task now is to stabilize Xie Feng and prevent him from going out to disrupt Xu Xing's plan.
The two of them were alone in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Song Shiyu wanted to find some topics to talk about, but she found that Xie Feng had already sat aside, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing. She sighed softly, leaned on the table and closed her eyes.

"You just locked them in the Tree of Destiny?" Yue Jinhuan asked.
Li Zhaoyue lay on the bed, shaking her head uncomfortably, loosening the hairband behind her head a little, and sighed: "Yeah. What will happen to our plan if we let them out?"
"Didn't you say that we should lure out the person behind this? How can we lure him out if we don't leave now?"
"Have you forgotten? There is Xu Xing." Li Zhaoyue said nonchalantly.
"Xu Xing...what's the use of Xu Xing?"
"Didn't he say he would help me get revenge?" Li Zhaoyue smiled brightly. Hearing this, Yue Jinhuan said angrily, "You didn't really believe what he said?"
"Of course I won't believe it all, but instead of wasting time and energy to escape, it's better to use what's available," said Li Zhaoyue.
"Since he said he's willing to listen to me, why should I tire myself out?"
Yue Jinhuan couldn't help but reveal himself and poked her forehead hard through the air: "Did you sleep like a fool? Li Zhaoyue! He hurt you before!"
"Oh? So you have such a deep grudge against me?" There was a sound at the door, and Xu Xing pushed the door open and walked in, his light brown eyes fixed on Yue Jinhuan.
Neither of the people in the room expected Xu Xing to appear suddenly. They were stunned for a moment, then Li Zhaoyue quickly climbed down from the bed, walked to Yue Jinhuan instinctively, and blocked him behind him.
Yue Jinhuan looked at Xu Xing with contempt, as if to say, what can you do to me.
Xu Xing raised his head arrogantly, without even giving her a glance, and hurriedly reached out to help Li Zhaoyue.
"Alas," he sighed, his right hand reaching behind Li Zhaoyue's head to untie her hairband. Although it was daytime, the doors and windows of the room were closed, and the dim environment didn't make Li Zhaoyue feel glaring or uncomfortable. She quickly opened her eyes and found herself leaning in Xu Xing's arms, and quickly stepped back.
Unexpectedly, his waist felt tight and Xu Xing pulled him back.
Yue Jinhuan's face turned pale when he saw this.
Li Zhaoyue stared blankly at Xu Xing and managed to utter, "Let me go."
As if deliberately letting Yue Jinhuan see, Xu Xing tightened the collar. Li Zhaoyue tried to struggle, but the more she moved, the closer she got to Xu Xing, so she stopped moving. The intimate behavior of the two people caught Yue Jinhuan's eye like a thorn, a thorn so glaring that it had to be removed.
"You've been in bed for so many days. Your legs must be weak if you get up suddenly. If I don't support you, you will fall." Xu Xing said softly to Li Zhaoyue.
The rage in Yue Jinhuan's eyes seemed to transform into a sharp sword, piercing Xu Xing with holes. He twisted the hairband in his hand, a trace of loneliness in his eyes: "I said, I can help you with anything Ah Yue wants. But after hearing what Sister Yue said today, I always feel that I haven't done enough."
"I still don't deserve Ah Yue's forgiveness."
Xu Xingtian had an innocent face that made him particularly endearing. When he was happy, his eyebrows curved, his fangs showed, and his smile was beautiful. But when he frowned slightly and his eyes misted up, he became particularly charming.
At this moment, he stared at Li Zhaoyue with misty eyes. Although she knew that his words were meant to deliberately anger Yue Jinhuan, she still couldn't help but believe him.
Li Zhaoyue looked at Yue Jinhuan, whose eyes were full of anger, then looked at Xu Xing, whose eyes were full of tenderness, and sighed softly.
"Who is your sister Yue? Stop shouting!" Yue Jinhuan yelled with his hands on his waist, his teeth itching with anger.
Xu Xing said nothing, frowned slightly, leaned on Li Zhaoyue's shoulder uncomfortably, and closed his eyes.
This was a blatant provocation! A provocation! Yue Jinhuan slammed the table so hard that the teacups on it shook.
"Xu Xing! Do you have any shame? Li Zhaoyue, do you think you can trust what this guy says?"
Seeing Li Zhaoyue remained silent, Yue Jinhuan's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "You didn't really believe his lies, did you?"
Li Zhaoyue silently looked away, mentally cursing himself for his lack of concentration, then forced a smile and reassured her, "I didn't believe it, I didn't believe it."
"If you don't have the letter, get out of his arms!" Yue Jinhuan was practically furious. When the three of them lived together, Xu Xing was a quiet man. Even when Li Zhaoyue was so kind to him, he didn't act like this coquettish woman.
It's ten thousand times more annoying than before.
No, a million times more.
The foxy girl in her heart hugged Li Zhaoyue in her arms, deliberately dragging her tone and laughingly saying, "Ayue can't stand steadily now. If I don't support her, who will?"
Yue Jinhuan's clenched fists creaked, and just as she was about to say that she would come to help, she was interrupted by Xu Xing.
He sneered, his eyes filled with contempt and sarcasm: "Senior Sister, don't forget who you are now."
"You are a spirit, not a human. If Ah Yue is in any danger now, you are of no use other than cheering the criminals on."
"And I," he chuckled softly, as if thinking of something funny, "I'm much more useful than you."
