Chapter 1658: It's Like an Old Friend
The fire started.
Xia Fuyi and the other two gathered together and sat by the fire.
The two fires were not far from each other, and the crackling sounds continued to ring out, making the night in the deep forest even quieter.
Lian Tang placed a small pot on the fire. Xia Fuyi didn't know where he got it from.
A lot of medicinal herbs were boiled in the pot, and the water was carried with me.
The bitter smell of medicine emerged along with white steam, slowly rising in the night.
Xia Fuyi sat on the ground, occasionally picking up firewood with branches, but a hint of confusion gradually appeared in her lowered eyes.
This smell is really familiar.
She didn't know where she had smelled it before, but her intuition told her that it was definitely not used to treat colds.
The girl twitched her nose again and looked up at Li Chi. The man in black was leaning against a tree trunk, one leg bent and resting on his wrist, his eyes drooping with a sense of boredom and fatigue, but even his idle fingertips were elegant in his bones.
As if noticing her gaze, Li Chi turned his head to look over.
Xia Fuyi immediately withdrew her gaze and continued to pick firewood with a serious face.
Li Chi curled his lower lip slightly and continued to daydream.
At this time, a slight noise was heard not far away. Xia Fuyi turned her head and saw that the woman in red had stood up and walked towards the forest, with two people following her from a distance.
Maybe he went to the bathroom?
Xia Fuyi withdrew her gaze and didn't care much.

The woman in red finally stopped only after she was sure that she could neither see nor hear any movement from those people.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and turned around with her hands behind her back.
The late autumn moonlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, illuminating her icy expression, and she instantly became as cold and indifferent as if she had become a different person.
"You must return to Feihua City immediately and tell the Sect Master that the mission cannot be carried out."
The voice was extremely low and slightly hoarse, but what was most shocking was the sudden change in tone.
Unlike the strong, arrogant and shrill female voice that had always been there before, this voice was now deep and hoarse, and even the breath in each word was full of magnetism - it was clearly a man's voice!
But the person next to him didn't look surprised at all. He just raised his head and said in surprise,
"Master! Why is this happening? We clearly—"
"Keep your voice down."
The "woman" in red interrupted him expressionlessly, her voice still low, but both her eyes and her expression revealed a strong sense of danger.
The subordinate immediately fell silent, but when he looked up, his eyes were still full of unwilling doubt.
The "woman" ignored him and just turned her head to look at the road she had just walked.
Where the fire was burning, there was an old friend who I hadn't seen for a long time, slowly carrying firewood.
He was silent for a long time before he slowly said,
"Go back and tell the Sect Master that I saw the former Master of Jiange."
"She is protecting Chang Sun Chi."
After a pause, he continued in the shocked eyes of his men.
"Besides, she doesn't seem to remember anything."

Xia Fuyi knew nothing about what happened in the deep forest.
But this does not hinder her dangerous instincts that are almost terrifying and beast-like.
The wind rustled the leaves, and as the firelight flickered, Xia Fuyi suddenly looked up in that direction, her eyes filled with confusion and inexplicable coldness.
A moment later, the woman in red slowly walked out from among them, with the two men still following her from a distance.
Noticing her gaze, the woman in red glanced at her impatiently and said arrogantly,
"What are you looking at? Be careful or I'll dig your eyes out."
