"What happened?"
Qingyun, who was following behind, came in too quickly for Yawen to stop, and she also saw the situation inside the room.
Qingyun's handsome face turned red with anger. Chu Xinxin was so kind and lovely; she must have been forced into this situation.
He immediately drew his spirit sword: "You lecherous thief, die!"
As the number one in the world, Xiao Linyi had never suffered such humiliation. He wanted to turn around and take the attack, but just as he was about to raise his head, Chu Xinxin pressed it back down, so hard that he suffocated for a moment.
"I did it voluntarily, I did it voluntarily," Chu Xinxin quickly called out. "Could you all go outside and wait for me for a while?"
Chu Xinxin only let go of Xiao Linyi after the two disappeared behind the door.
Xiao Linyi straightened up, his face flushed and pale, his eyes darting away, not daring to look at his little wife.
Chu Xinxin patted her chest dramatically, as if still shaken: "Oh my god, that scared me to death!"
Xiao Linyi turned her head when she heard the sound. Remembering the touch on her face just now, her face turned even redder. Then, thinking that Qingyun had also seen Chu Xinxin's disheveled appearance, her face turned pale with anger. She turned her back to him and said, "Put your clothes on!"
Chu Xinxin had no time to pay attention to what he was thinking. After quickly getting dressed, she stood on tiptoe to help Xiao Linyi put on his cloak hood.
"Master, please try not to speak later."
Xiao Linyi lowered his head, pleased by the slight worry in the girl's eyes, and softly responded with an "Mm".
The two, dressed neatly, walked out together. Xiao Linyi was wearing a hat, so only his handsome chin was visible.
Qingyun stared at him with a gloomy expression, his hand on his sword, looking as if he couldn't wait to kill the lecherous thief and do justice to Heaven.
Xiao Linyi's hands, hidden in his sleeves, were really itchy.
Ya Wen pulled Chu Xinxin aside: "Xinxin, who is he?"
"Um... a friend I just met."
Ya Wen: "Does the Pavilion Master know about this?"
Chu Xinxin thought to herself that he knew best, but she didn't show it on her face. She took Ya Wen's hand and said, "So you have to keep this a secret for me."
Ya Wen was confused: "Um, is it that the Pavilion Master is really... incapable?"
Chu Xinxin was startled and quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late. Xiao Linyi's aura suddenly dropped, and Ya Wen almost thought that a ferocious beast had appeared over there.
"Let's talk this out. Don't slander others." Chu Xinxin released Ya Wen and took a few steps away from Xiao Linyi, afraid that Ya Wen would say something shocking again.
"No, then why are you seeing other men outside?" Ya Wen asked anxiously.
Chu Xinxin covered her mouth and leaned close to Ya Wen: "Hey, the grass is always greener on the other side, and a man who isn't a bit of a playboy in his youth is a wasted youth."
Xiao Linyi & Qingyun: ...
Ya Wen suddenly realized, as if struck by a thunderbolt: "Ah~ I understand now, sister, don't worry, I didn't see anything just now. Even if the sect leader had a sword to my neck, I wouldn't know anything!"
Chu Xinxin: "Ya Wen understands me best."
Xiao Linyi inexplicably felt that Chu Xinxin had just helped him put on a green hat.
After reaching a consensus, Chu Xinxin asked the two of them how they met.
"I happened to be teleported nearby, and just randomly picked a direction to come here. I met the Third Prince on the way. The Third Prince said that this is the outer perimeter of the Holy Land, and the core is still a long way away."
Ya Wen was passing by with Qing Yun when she heard the noise and came in to take a look, but she never expected to see such a scene.
After a brief tidying up, Qingyun took out a compass-shaped magical artifact, their royal treasure, a treasure-hunting tool.
Although the treasure-hunting tool is only a three-star spiritual artifact, it can sense unclaimed spiritual treasures and beasts, making it quite useful.
"You're pretty good," Chu Xinxin said, offering a compliment.
The system protested: "Sister, you can't compare to me! I can even mark the coordinates. This magical artifact can only sense the general direction and it often malfunctions."
"I was just being polite. Of course, you're the most capable." Chu Xinxin comforted the system with a few words, but Qingyun in front of her stopped.
"What's wrong? Are you going the wrong way?" Chu Xinxin asked.
Qingyun looked at Xiao Linyi with an unfriendly expression: "What are you doing here? We don't welcome you."
Xiao Linyi was not willing to go with him. He snorted and tried to pull Chu Xinxin away. Qingyun also tried to pull Chu Xinxin's other hand. Neither of them would give way.
Chu Xinxin had a headache: "Um, Third Prince, could you please do this for my sake...?"
Qingyun: "No, someone who hides his face and doesn't dare to show his true colors is definitely not a good person. Xinxin, don't be fooled by him."
Chu Xin's heart ached even more. Seeing Xiao Linyi's unyielding stance, she had no choice but to steel herself and begin to fabricate a story: "Alright, I'll be frank. He's my childhood sweetheart. We were originally inseparable and innocent, but because of some misunderstandings, I ran away from home, and he followed me for thousands of miles. But he was too late; I had already been forcibly taken by the tyrant of the capital... oh no, by Master Zichen. He never had a chance to explain to me until we came here..."
Xiao Linyi clenched his fist and squeezed Chu Xinxin's fingers hard as a warning.
Chu Xinxin playfully winked at him as she wiped away her tears, signaling him to calm down.
Having said all that, Qingyun had no choice but to agree.
The group followed Qingyun's treasure-hunting device southeastward, encountering no other cultivators along the way.
Chu Xinxin felt something was strange and was about to ask the system when suddenly the sound of fighting came from ahead.
The three of them exchanged glances, then hid in the nearby bushes, deciding to observe first.
The fight was between three groups of people. One group looked familiar; they were cultivators from Liang Kingdom in Dongzhou. Another group was from Penglai Immortal Island. The last group was from an unknown state.
These three groups of people are fighting over a single spiritual herb.
"Fire Orchid Grass, a five-star spiritual herb, has become extinct outside. It can be used to refine the five-star pill Fire Spirit Pill."
Qingyun lowered his voice and added, "Fire Orchid Grass is one of the favorite staple foods of phoenix cubs."
Hmm, that means this herb is quite useful.
The battle on the field was nearing its end. Although there were three groups of people, there was only one spirit herb, so everyone was fighting for themselves.
A female cultivator dressed in a pale yellow gauze dress, protected by several other cultivators, managed to snatch the spiritual herb and headed towards Chu Xinxin and the others.
Just as they were about to be discovered, a gray-robed man suddenly appeared from the side and snatched the elixir away.
Enraged, the woman unleashed a magical attack. The gray-robed man turned to block, and after a few moves, the people protecting the woman caught up. Seeing that he couldn't escape, the gray-robed man tossed the herb into the air. The herb traced an arc in the air and landed right in Chu Xinxin's arms.
Those people swarmed forward, and Chu Xinxin and her three companions looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yawen laughed awkwardly: "Would you believe me if I said we were just passing by?"
Chu Xinxin: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it."
After saying that, she grabbed Xiao Linyi's hand and shouted at Ya Wen, "Run!"
