Li Cai'er readily agreed and obediently led the way, and the three of them arrived at a courtyard.
Xiao Feng closed his eyes, glanced inside, and frowned slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be anyone inside."
As soon as he said that, Li Cai'er looked panicked and hurriedly explained, "No...it's impossible, I saw the village chief here this morning."
To prove that she had really seen the village chief, she hurriedly opened the door to the room, as if she wanted to drag the village chief out from inside.
However, there was no one in the room, and nothing Li Cai'er said had any effect.
Just then, a number of villagers stopped for them at the entrance of the courtyard.
Xiao Feng walked up to them with a smile on his face: "I'd like to ask if you've seen your village chief?"
When they heard Xiao Feng ask them, they exchanged glances and shook their heads: "We've never seen the village chief."
When Li Cai'er learned that the village chief had not appeared in front of these people, she quickly explained, "The village chief must be afraid of you, so he dares not come out to see you."
Lu Xue'er had already believed Li Cai'er, and with a face full of anger, she slapped the stone table.
In an instant, the stone table shattered in the middle, clearly rendering it useless.
Xiao Feng looked at Li Cai'er with a surprised expression: "Even the villagers have never seen the village chief, yet you have. This is a bit illogical."
He voiced his confusion, hoping Li Cai'er could offer him an explanation.
However, before she could explain, Lu Xue'er walked up to Xiao Feng and said, "I believe she didn't lie to me, and I'm willing to take her away from this village."
Xiao Feng knew about Lu Xue'er's obsessive personality while he was in Qingzong.
Now that she wants to take him away, I believe no one can stop her.
Xiao Feng shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Then I'll listen to you. You take her with you."
Since everything is on him, if Li Cai'er wants to obtain the magic seal, she will definitely need to take the initiative to talk to him.
To ensure their safety, Xiao Feng used his spiritual power to scan Li Cai'er's body to confirm that she had no ability to retaliate.
Soon, the three of them emerged from the village.
Lu Xue'er had just summoned her longsword when her peripheral vision fell on her, her face full of speechlessness: "It seems we can only travel by ordinary means."
Xiao Feng listened to Lu Xue'er's plan to travel using the most ordinary method for Li Cai'er's sake, and pondered for a moment: "Find an opportunity to pass on a message to the people in the sect."
Without any disciples of the Green Sect by their side, Xiao Feng always felt extremely dangerous.
Faced with matters of great importance, Lu Xue'er naturally agreed with Xiao Feng's words and stepped aside, intending to use the Qingzong secret method to contact her elder master.
As soon as Lu Xue'er left, Li Cai'er walked up to Xiao Feng with a big smile on her face: "Thank you for saving me yesterday, otherwise I would definitely have died in the mountains."
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so Xiao Feng had no reason to give Li Cai'er a particularly unpleasant look. Instead, he nodded calmly.
"Our sect disciples will always help out when we encounter such situations while traveling, so you don't need to worry."
Xiao Feng thought he had completely cut off her escape route, but Li Cai'er moved even closer to him: "Can I stay by your side for the rest of my life?"
She paused deliberately, then leaned close to Xiao Feng's ear and whispered, "I feel safe with you by my side."
As Xiao Feng watched Li Cai'er repeatedly hint at her intentions in this way, he became even more convinced that she had other motives.
He quickly stood up and walked to the nearest tree trunk: "You stay where you are, Lu Xue'er will be back soon."
Xiao Feng thought he had avoided Li Cai'er's advances, but no one expected that Li Cai'er would come to Xiao Feng's side again.
At this moment, the two people's actions were very ambiguous, and they seemed to have become a couple.
Just then, Lu Xue'er walked back from a distance, but surprisingly didn't see the two of them at all.
Lu Xue'er looked around and immediately saw Xiao Feng and Li Cai'er standing close together. She then rushed towards Xiao Feng in a flash.
Xiao Feng sensed the sword energy getting closer and closer to him, so he slammed down with one hand, dispersing the sword energy.
"Lu Xue'er, what do you mean by this? You actually want to kill me?"
If he hadn't discovered the sword energy early on, it would have been enough to kill him.
Hearing Xiao Feng's angry reply, Lu Xue'er stood coldly beside Li Cai'er, saying, "You actually tried to cause trouble for Li Cai'er while I was away?"
Before he could say anything more, Lu Xue'er continued, "No wonder Mingyue Duoduo developed feelings for you. I believe those feelings came about like this, didn't they?"
Xiao Feng took a deep breath as he watched Lu Xue'er rattle off so much to him, and pointed in Li Cai'er's direction.
Instead of blaming me, why don't you ask Li Cai'er and see what the truth is?
In his eyes, Li Cai'er's approach to him was most likely an attempt to check if something was on him.
Unfortunately, he had no evidence at all, so he couldn't directly state his conjecture.
When Lu Xue'er heard Xiao Feng say that he wanted to ask Li Cai'er, she subconsciously turned around and saw that Li Cai'er kept her head down and didn't say a word.
Judging from her demeanor, she looked as if she had just been bullied.
Xiao Feng squinted at Li Cai'er's appearance; how could he not know that she was deliberately making Lu Xue'er misunderstand?
Sure enough, when Lu Xue'er saw Li Cai'er's expression, her temper flared up immediately: "I didn't expect that you, who were so dignified in Qingzong, would become like this here."
Xiao Feng originally intended to defend himself, but since he had no evidence, nothing he said would make a difference. He sighed and found a seat.
Since he had no intention of defending himself, Lu Xue'er became even more suspicious of Xiao Feng and walked up to him with a serious expression.
“I will report this matter truthfully to the sect leader, even if you want to take away the weapon from my hand.”
Xiao Feng waved his hand dismissively, confident that Li Cai'er would never allow them to return to the sect peacefully.
At this point, his suspicions about Li Cai'er had reached their peak, and he felt that Li Cai'er was someone who had infiltrated their inner circle.
As for Li Cai'er's true purpose, Xiao Feng felt it was very likely the demonic mark on his body.
Since Xiao Feng did not respond to Lu Xue'er, Lu Xue'er lost interest in saying anything more and led Li Cai'er to the side: "Let's rest here for the night, and I will protect your safety."
