A large village appeared in front of us, and the terrain here was extremely steep.

Xiao Ruyu looked around and saw endless mountains all around.

I didn’t expect the cult would set up its lair in such a remote place. No wonder they had to find a place to stay in the city.

There were four cult members patrolling back and forth at the entrance of the village, and the security was extremely strict.

Mr. Liu walked forward holding Xiao Ruyu, took something out of his arms and handed it to the gatekeeper.

When the gatekeeper saw him, he immediately let him pass.

Just as Xiao Ruyu was wondering what it was, she glanced at it.

Aren’t those the stones collected from the fire?

She looked again and found that the two stones looked exactly the same, but they were not the same one.

Now everything makes sense; that stone is exactly the item that can prove the cult's identity.

[Eleven, the stone you saw earlier is something that can prove your identity. Tell Master when you have the chance.]

Eleven nodded at her where no one could see.

The further we went in, the more cult members there were around, and many of them greeted Master Liu.

"When a baby was born in the family, we didn't invite the brothers to a wedding banquet."

A man came towards him and teased Mr. Liu.

When Mr. Liu saw him, he became extremely respectful.

"Second Master, you are joking. This is not my child."

"oh?"

The second in command looked at Xiao Ruyu with an inquiring look and teased her little face.

"So what is this?"

Master Liu whispered a few words into the second in command's ear, smiling in a flattering manner as he spoke.

The second in command looked as if he understood and patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, since you're willing to do it, we can do it together in a few days."

Xiao Ruyu wanted to stand on tiptoe to eavesdrop on their conversation, but due to the huge height difference, she didn't hear a single word.

Never mind, you’ll know in a few days.

"Bang, bang, bang."

A big drum was struck and everyone gathered around.

The second in command stood on the stage and cleared his throat.

"I have an announcement to make."

"The leader will be here soon, and our great cause will be completed soon."

"Are you all ready for what's going to happen in three days?"

He inspired people and the audience became excited.

"The great cause of the ages only lacks the east wind!"

"The great cause of the ages only lacks the east wind!"

…

Xiao Ruyu immediately became alert, wondering if there was a bigger conspiracy in a few days.

But this morning, Eleven told her that the master was ready to catch them all in one swoop.

No, now is not the time!

She must stop her master from taking action now!

Xiao Ruyu covered her stomach, curled up into a ball, and her little face turned pale.

Mr. Liu noticed that something was wrong with her and started to ask.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Ruyu struggled to squeeze out a few words.

"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."

After saying that, my stomach started to growl.

Mr. Liu frowned and pointed in a direction.

"Go ahead."

Xiao Ruyu was about to run away, but was stopped again.

"Wait, let Wang Xiao take you there."

Mr. Liu called Wang Xiao and asked him to follow him.

Xiao Ruyu was a little embarrassed and hesitated.

"This...is not good."

"Tsk...what's wrong with that? You're just a little kid, what do you have to be embarrassed about?"

Mr. Liu disagreed and insisted that Wang Xiao follow him.

Xiao Ruyu knew that if she continued to refuse, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Wang Xiao took her to the toilet, but had no intention of turning around.

"You... stare at me, I can't pull it out..."

Xiao Ruyu's face flushed, and she lowered her head and spoke timidly.

"Pah, there are a lot of problems."

Wang Xiao spat on the ground, but still turned around.

Xiao Ruyu looked around, thinking about how to pass the message.

A butterfly flew past and landed on her fingertips.

Xiao Ruyu suddenly had an idea, and he flipped his hand to summon a stream of spiritual power, which he then hit on the butterfly.

[Go tell Master now, this is not the time to take action, they have a bigger conspiracy! ]

The butterfly flapped its wings twice, adding a bit of liveliness to its originally dark gray color.

Watching the butterfly fly away, Xiao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you done yet? Stop dilly-dallying!"

Wang Xiao's impatient voice came from not far away, and Xiao Ruyu hurried to meet him.

"It's already healed."

…

On the other side, the top of the mountain was already filled with soldiers.

Doctor Yang stared down at every move in the village with a stern expression.

The officers and soldiers have already drawn their arrows to the bow, just waiting for the order.

The Governor-General of Jiangnan was concerned that Imperial Physician Yang was slow to give orders, and his face showed a hint of anxiety.

"What is Lord Yang worried about? Now is the best time to capture them."

He opened his mouth to remind.

Doctor Yang stared at the village closely and had a mysterious feeling.

He put his hand on the flag and was about to give an order.

A butterfly flew slowly over and landed on his shoulder.

What's this?

The next second, Xiao Ruyu's anxious voice came into Doctor Yang's mind.

"Wait! Don't give the order yet!"

Doctor Yang stopped the Governor of Jiangnan from moving, sweating slightly on his forehead.

"My disciple sent me a message saying that they will have a bigger plot in a few days, so it is not appropriate to close the net today."

"withdraw--"

At the order, the officers and soldiers retreated one after another.

Peace returned to the mountains. Fortunately, Xiao Ruyu delivered the message in time, and everyone stopped and waited for the next opportunity.

Master Liu and other cult members who came today rested in the village together, and a separate room was arranged for Xiao Ruyu.

At night, the calls of birds and animals can be heard from the mountains from time to time.

Xiao Ruyu lay in bed, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

【Master must have received my message today.】

She turned over and pursed her lips.

[I don't know how big a conspiracy is waiting for us behind. Every step forward is full of traps.]

"Eleven will protect the little princess."

Eleven spoke softly and hugged Xiao Ruyu.

A stone accidentally fell on the floor of the room, and Xiao Ruyu immediately became alert.

[The doors and windows are all locked, where did the stone come from? ]

She immediately jumped out of bed to check, and as expected, the window was open a crack.

"who?!"

Eleven scolded in a low voice and protected Xiao Ruyu behind him.

The next second, a pair of hands came up, followed by a familiar voice.

"Yu'er, it's Master."

【Master! Why are you here! 】

Xiao Ruyu quickly stuck her head out.

In the moonlight and frost, Doctor Yang huddled under the window, with many leaves hanging on his body, looking a little disheveled.

"Master received a message from Yu'er today. What kind of conspiracy is this?"

[They said that the leader would come in a few days, and then their plan would be implemented.]

Xiao Ruyu told Doctor Yang everything he knew.

"By the way, Master, that stone is the pass to the village, but I don't know if I will be exposed if I sneak in."

She whispered, looking nervous.

"Who's there?!"
