Chapter 548 The show begins as soon as you open your eyes
Xie Shiyuan immediately walked over, patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "It's okay, they're just here to look for someone. I promised you that I'd send you back this morning, but I'm afraid I can't do it. You just wait for me in the camp. I'll send you back after I finish my business."
The girl nodded, looked at the eyes around her, and tugged at the corner of her clothes nervously, "Sister, am I causing you any trouble?"
Xie Shiyuan smiled and patted her head, comforting her, "Don't think too much, it's okay."
The girl nodded, and followed Xie Shiyuan, "Yeah!"
Ji Fusheng looked at this unfamiliar face and suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Who is she?"
There is no such person among the descenders. A child who cannot practice cultivation will definitely not be a member of the Tianyu Palace.
Because of the news that Luo Li was in the Broken Soul Mountains, he really didn't want to let any suspicious person go.
What's more, the fact that a person who cannot practice cultivation appears in the depths of the Broken Soul Mountains is already intriguing enough.
Ji Fusheng's gaze was as sharp as an eagle, penetrating the noise of the crowd and falling directly on the girl.
She was thin, with a pale face that looked a bit childish, and her clear eyes concealed an imperceptible fear.
The sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the ends of her hair, adding an unreal warmth to the tense atmosphere.
The girl felt the scrutinizing gaze and unconsciously shrank behind Xie Shiyuan, her fingers tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, as if that was her only support.
Seeing this, Xie Shiyuan gently protected the girl behind him, with both tenderness and determination in his eyes.
She looked at Ji Fusheng with a look of unquestionable strength in her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Palace Master, she is mine. You don't need to ask about her."
Ji Fusheng frowned. Unless it was necessary, he really didn't want to offend these descenders, even if the descenders here were not allies of the lord he was loyal to.
The arc of his frown deepened a little, and a complex emotion flashed in his usually deep eyes, as if he was weighing something.
He turned his head, hooked his finger at the elder of Tianyu Palace who was stationed here, and then bowed his head to ask a few questions.
Then, he slowly took a step forward, and the aura around him softened inexplicably. His voice was low and magnetic, like a gentle breeze in the air.
"Thank you, Miss. I believe I don't need to explain the importance of this matter. I mean no harm, but this girl didn't show up at the camp yesterday. Why did she suddenly appear here today?"
After saying this, he turned gently, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, leaving behind a lonely and profound figure, making it difficult to grasp his true intentions. "Perhaps, Miss Xie, can you explain?"
Wen Xingyan frowned slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He took two steps forward and said, "Then let me explain."
After hearing his words, Ji Fusheng said with a half-smile, "Just because she said that, you guys believed it? How could an unarmed person walk out of such a dangerous secret place alive?"
He frowned and continued, "That Luo Li escaped from the dungeon of Tianyu Palace the night before yesterday. The guards on duty in the Broken Soul Mountains sent a message saying that she was seen near Wushengte. This person appeared so suddenly, who knows if she was sent by her to gather information!"
Are these Adventers all fools!
"Ji Fusheng." Xie Shiyuan's voice was as soft as water, staring into his eyes. "Tell me, are what you just said true?"
Ji Fusheng snorted coldly, looked up, his eyes suddenly became a little dazed, and he couldn't help but answer her obediently, "Of course, it's all the truth."
Xie Shiyuan retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and looked at the girl behind her who shook her head at her, "Sister, does he think I'm an undercover agent of your enemy? I'm not..."
Xie Shiyuan smiled and said, "Of course I know you are not, and what if you are..."
She spoke the last sentence in a low voice, and Luo Li, who had deliberately blocked her spiritual veins, didn't hear it clearly. "Sister, what did you say?"
Xie Shiyuan shook his head and pulled her to Xuan Mu and Wen Xingyan, saying as they walked, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry, he won't do anything to you."
On the other side, Ji Fusheng suddenly came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat. He had just answered her question directly without thinking. Is this the special ability of the gods?
Xuan Mu crossed his arms and said in a slightly cold voice, "Now you know why we believed her, right?"
Di Chen had a perfect smile on his lips, "Palace Master, no one can lie to Shi Yuan. Now you can rest assured."
Ji Fusheng forced a curl of his lips and said, "If that's the case, then this girl is naturally not a suspect. The reason I came here today is simply to trouble you all to help me capture Luo Li alive in the Broken Soul Mountains."
Having just rejected his offer of respect, Xie Shiyuan naturally wouldn't refuse this small request. She nodded, "It's still no problem. But is Palace Master sure that Luo Li is in the Broken Soul Mountains? After all, you just said that she was the girl you met in Wu Shengte."
Ji Fusheng stood on the top of the mountain, his eyes as sharp as torches, penetrating through the layers of forests, as if he could see through all the fog.
Beside him, another descender who followed him walked over from the back of the group. He was dressed in tight clothes, with an upright posture, and his brows revealed an unquestionable determination.
His voice was cold, "The Broken Soul Mountains have been a place where dragons and tigers hide since ancient times in the Tianyuan Continent. If Luo Li is really hiding here, he must have some ulterior motive."
Xie Shiyuan narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Li Sha..."
These gods did not come to Tianyuan Continent at the same time, so she had no idea that this person had come.
Li Sha seemed to have just seen her and chuckled, "Oh, isn't this the first young master of Luoyue Territory? I didn't expect your lord to be willing to let you come."
Xie Shiyuan sneered, "I haven't seen you for so many years. I wonder if your absence isn't because you're dead."
Li Sha crossed his arms and raised his chin. "I am a humble person. I have been in seclusion in the territory for so many years. I just came out of seclusion and the Lord sent me to carry out such an important mission. Unlike your sister, I am afraid that your Lord will dislike me."
Xie Shiyuan narrowed his eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashing across them, "Your Flying Wolf Territory Lord is truly blind, to actually value someone like you!"
Li Sha's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes had become more aggressive. "Xie Shiyuan, stop talking nonsense here. Is your sister okay now? That palm strike of mine back then shouldn't have crippled her, right?"
Xie Shiyuan clenched his fists slightly, "You're looking for death..."
Xuan Mu immediately reached out and pulled her behind him. Wen Xingyan lowered his head and whispered, "A Yuan, control yourself. This isn't the place of the gods. There's no benefit in fighting him here."
Li Sha scoffed, "Why, the number one young master who dominates the entire Luoyue Territory, now here, doesn't even have the courage to attack me?"
