The atmosphere instantly became warm and cozy.
However, before the atmosphere could continue to spread, it was ruthlessly ruined.
At this moment, Kaopu was still rolling on the ground, preoccupied with his own problems, and clearly had no intention of considering the intentions of the two people who had suddenly appeared.
Upon seeing this, Fei'er was the first to question, "This is a barren land, what is your purpose in coming here?"
The tall, silver moon wolf approached them, but ended up standing next to Xu Ling, staring at the couple with a questioning look in its eyes.
The two people in front of me looked travel-worn and dressed more like villagers from villages near the Misty Forest than explorers.
Of course, the two people in front of them were dressed slightly better than the villagers.
Therefore, Moonlight Silver Wolf deduced that they were either villagers or city residents.
But regardless of what kind of people they are, they are definitely commoners.
So the question is, what do two civilians want to do in this barren land?
Moreover, this is already in the heart of the barren lands, so logically there shouldn't be anyone here.
Old John and Ella then discovered the enormous Moonlight Silver Wolf.
Seeing him walk towards Xu Ling, Ella, who had been hiding behind Old John, had a look of fear in her eyes and couldn't help but step forward.
However, before she could make any other move, her right hand tightened, and Ella immediately turned her head to look.
It's old John.
At this moment, his left hand was resting on Ella's right hand, applying slight pressure where no one could see it.
Clearly, old John was reminding her not to act rashly.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Moonlight Silver Wolf walked behind Xu Ling and remained obediently still, showing no intention of attacking her.
Seeing this, Ella realized that Moonlight Silver Wolf and Xu Ling were together, so she obediently stopped her forward steps.
Ella remained hidden behind Old John, but her eyes were silently observing Xu Ling.
Ella thought she was observing very discreetly, but in the eyes of Xu Ling and Moonlight Silver Wolf on the other side, it was very bold and conspicuous.
But now is not the time to focus on that; the time is to figure out what Old John and Ella's purpose is in coming here.
Although Xu Ling saved the two, it doesn't mean she would unconditionally trust them just because they were in such a sorry state.
She had simply not thought of the question at the moment, and it was thanks to Fei'er that she didn't forget to ask.
With Ella calming down behind him, old John's tense heart couldn't help but relax.
Old John had anticipated encountering this situation from the very beginning when he was about to enter the Barrens, in response to Phil's questioning.
Even if the Moonlight Silver Wolf didn't ask this question, someone would have asked it sooner or later.
So old John had thought this through very well from the very beginning.
Every lie is three parts truth and seven parts falsehood; only by telling it aloud can one avoid arousing suspicion.
So, without even thinking, Old John revealed their purpose.
"We're here to find our daughter!"
Old John blurted it out without thinking, which did make Xu Ling and Fei Er somewhat believe him.
However, he did not mention finding his daughter.
Did they come to this barren land to find their daughter?
It sounds completely fake.
Xu Ling and Fei Er looked at Old John with undisguised suspicion.
Old John immediately offered a hasty explanation.
“It’s true, it’s true! Look at me and Ella, we look like this.”
Old John pointed to himself, then to Ella.
“Our daughter is just like me, with black hair and black eyes. Someone said they saw her here, which is why we risked coming here!”
"My lord, everything I've said is true, please believe me!"
Old John looked at Xu Ling and Fei Er with a sincere and pleading expression.
After hearing his words, Fei Er's face showed a strange expression.
Black hair, black eyes...
They even look like...
His gaze involuntarily shifted to Xu Ling beside him.
Could these two people in front of me be Xu Ling?
Immediately, Fei Er hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
His gaze shifted so obviously downwards that old John could see it clearly.
Before Xu Ling could sense anything amiss, Old John quickly waved his hand to indicate that it wasn't Xu Ling.
“No, sir. Our daughter has black hair and black eyes, but she looks completely different from the person in front of us, and her age doesn’t match either.”
"Our daughter went missing a long time ago, and she should only be seventeen or eighteen years old now."
As he finished speaking, old John seemed to remember his daughter, and his voice choked with emotion.
Behind him, Ella also looked sorrowful.
Fei'er then realized what was going on.
It turns out he misunderstood!
The next second, he immediately shifted his gaze, pretending to have ignored what had just happened.
Xu Ling never doubted that she was the other party's daughter.
What a joke! She's from another time, how could she possibly be the daughter of a native?
However, old John said this...
Her gaze involuntarily fell on the Moonlight Silver Wolf beside her.
At that moment, Moonlight Silver Wolf was looking straight ahead without glancing to the side, seemingly unaware of her presence. Xu Ling gave a small, cold snort.
Well, it's not Fei'er's fault. After all, he hasn't met many people, so it's normal for him to have some misunderstandings!
Bringing her attention back to the point where it had slightly drifted, Xu Ling pondered for a moment before speaking.
"You still haven't found it!"
Xu Ling spoke with great certainty.
Nonsense, it would be a miracle if you could find it in a barren land!
In Xu Ling's opinion, these two were completely fooled!
It seems he was so eager to find a woman that he was so easily fooled!
Just as she expected, Old John and Ella nodded with bitter expressions.
"So what are your plans next?"
That's a great question!
Old John and Ella exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying the same meaning.
That is, stay here!
