Chapter 543 Acting Skills
The girl blinked and answered obediently, "My name is Mu Liluo."
The three of them exchanged glances. Xie Shiyuan's inky black pupils fixed on the girl's eyes as he slowly asked, "Where are you from? Why are you here?"
Mu Liluo heard this and looked into Xie Shiyuan's eyes. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. Then she looked towards the hazy mountains in the distance and whispered softly,
"I come from the Hidden Cloud Village, a little-known tribe hidden deep in the mountains. We have a special ability to find ruins hidden on the ground, but our tribe is protected by a magic circle, and people outside cannot enter!"
"But my grandma is sick, and the brother in the village said he wanted a very rare spiritual plant, so I went to look for it. But I searched for a long time inside the magic circle and couldn't find it. So I wanted to go out and look for it, thinking that I would only be out for a short while and it should be fine. But as soon as I went out, I was caught by a group of people..."
The girl looked sad. "They told me to find some ruins for them, or they would kill me. They took me to the Wushengte Great Forest, and I did sense the presence of quite a few ruins here."
"They insisted that I take them to their largest ruin. I told them it was too dangerous to go, but they said they would kill me if I didn't. To survive, I had no choice but to lead them to find the entrance. Once inside, it turned out to be a very dangerous ruin!"
"Afterwards, they scattered and didn't have time to take care of me, so I had to run for my life. I thought I would die underground, but I didn't expect to escape and be rescued by several brothers and sisters!"
As she spoke, she gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, as if the fear of being taken underground had not yet dissipated, and she was still a little restrained and nervous.
After hearing this, the three of them fell silent. The only sounds around them were the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the occasional bird calls in the distance, which added a bit of liveliness to this moment of tranquility.
Xie Shiyuan stepped forward and gently grasped Mu Liluo's hand, her hand warm and firm, as if to pass on her strength. "Don't be afraid. Since we've met, it's fate. Spend the night in our camp. Tomorrow I'll take you to find your family, okay?"
Xuan Mu frowned and raised his chin. "If you take her back before you figure out her identity, I'm afraid others will have opinions. What if she..."
He didn't finish his words, but Wen Xingyan and Xie Shiyuan could understand what he had left unsaid.
Wen Xingyan's eyes were gentle yet profound. He slowly walked over to the two of them and spoke softly. His voice was like a spring breeze blowing over a stream, gentle yet powerful. "Xuan Mu's concerns are not without reason, but this girl is only in her teens, decades younger than you. We can't just leave her alone, can we?"
Xie Shiyuan followed suit, "You know, the disciples of Tianyu Palace here are very wary of anything. If they see a strange girl breaking in, they'll probably just arrest her without even asking any questions. After all, it's only one night. I'll find time to send her back home tomorrow."
Wen Xingyan also advised, "Besides, you and I both know Shi Yuan's abilities. If she says this person is harmless, then that's the truth."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Mu Liluo, with a barely perceptible tenderness and compassion in his eyes. He gently raised his hand and touched the hair on her forehead with his fingertips, as if silently comforting her.
"Don't be afraid, little girl. Everyone here will support you. Rest easy tonight. Tomorrow, come rain or shine, we will take you home."
The girl nodded gratefully, tears glistening in her eyes, but also reflecting her longing for home.
Xuan Mu also knew that with Xie Shiyuan's ability, no one could lie to her.
Can……
He couldn't tell what was wrong. Looking at the two people, he sighed. Never mind. He already knew the personalities of these two people. They were just good people.
Seeing his expression, the other two knew that he had no objection, so Xie Shiyuan smiled and helped the girl up from the ground, took out a hood that was a little too big for the girl from the space ring and put it on her.
Putting the hat on the girl, Xie Shiyuan said with a smile, "Let's go to my tent to change clothes. Just hold on a little longer."
The girl was a little timid, but she still tried to raise her head and looked into Xie Shiyuan's eyes sincerely, "Thank you, thank you, sister!"
Xie Shiyuan smiled even more gently and patted his head covered by the hood. "You're welcome. Let's go."
Wen Xingyan and Xuan Mu led the way in front, cutting away the grass and vines that were in the way, while Xie Shiyuan supported the girl and walked behind them.
And in the blind spot of the three people's sight, the corners of the innocent girl's lips hidden under the hood were slightly raised.
Luo Li didn't expect it to be so smooth. She could also feel a strange power from this woman named Xie Shiyuan, but fortunately it didn't have much effect on her.
Her face was protected by a God King-level elixir, and also by the power of the Tower of Gods, the Mermaid Saint, and the Lord of Light. With four layers of protection, even the God Emperor could not see anything unusual about Luo Li.
She lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, she had regained her timid look.
Let her explore the Adventers' camp. Her character has been established and she has a backup plan. It all depends on whether these people will take the bait.
Now it seems that Xie Shiyuan and Wen Xingyan are obviously not interested. The descender named Xuan Mu is more interested than these two people. If she met him alone, it would not be so simple.
But it's normal. Anyone who sees a strange girl appear inexplicably by the stream in their camp will feel alert.
Judging from what these three people said, those people in the camp should be difficult to deal with...
At this time, the Adventers camp.
A boy who looked only about ten years old stood up, his face showing a maturity that didn't match his age. He frowned slightly, "Why haven't Xie Shiyuan and the other three come back yet? Did something happen?"
Upon hearing this, a young man sitting cross-legged by the campfire curled his lips and said, "Saint Son, you're probably worrying too much. With the three of them combined, there's probably no one to rival them in the entire Tianyuan Continent. Besides, the fact that there's no movement is the best news."
The boy known as the Holy Son sighed slightly upon hearing this and sat back down. "That's true."
How could someone attack the three of them without making any noise? He was probably worrying too much.
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures walked into the camp.
The Son of God curled his lips and stood up. Although he was not tall, he did not make people look down on him. Instead, he appeared very elegant and holy.
Yes, elegant and holy.
Luo Li looked at the people here and never thought that one day she would use the words "elegant" and "holy" to describe a child who looked only about ten years old.
