Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an and Feng Beichuan's expressions also became somewhat solemn.
Could it be that Lord Taoyao has already clashed with the opponent?
But given Tao Yaojun's skills, he should have been able to finish the battle quickly. Even if he was no match for his opponent, he could have easily escaped. How come he hasn't returned after so long?
"Which way did he just go? I'll go check!"
Li Chang'an spoke in a deep voice, then prepared to turn around and find Tao Yaojun.
"So you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere!"
But just then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before them.
Upon seeing that Tao Yaojun had actually returned, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to greet him.
"Why did you take so long? I thought something had happened!"
Suzaku couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Tao Yaojun was taken aback for a moment, but then she put on a nonchalant expression, waved her hand and laughed, "How could there be a problem? Although the other party was indeed quite troublesome, I managed to deal with him smoothly in the end!"
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the trouble had been resolved, they could escort Silver Spear back to the General's Mansion with peace of mind.
So Tao Yao and Zhu Que walked side by side in front, while Li Chang'an and Feng Beichuan followed behind them.
After a moment, Li Chang'an suddenly frowned.
The next second, she reached out and tugged at Feng Beichuan's sleeve, her expression very serious.
Feng Beichuan felt somewhat confused. Looking at the woman's serious expression, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and was about to ask her what had happened.
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Chang'an put his index finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, then point at Tao Yao and Zhu Que walking in front of them, and then shake his head.
Now Feng Beichuan was even more confused.
What exactly happened?
"Let's slow down and create some distance between us."
At this moment, Li Chang'an suddenly moved closer to Feng Beichuan and whispered something in his ear.
In that instant, Feng Beichuan felt an itch on his ear, and then his heart started to itch as well.
A strange look flashed in his dark eyes, and then he turned to look down at the woman beside him, swallowing hard.
The movement of the Adam's apple only makes one feel a dry mouth and throat.
Although Feng Beichuan felt that he had been subtly provoked by the other party, he quickly calmed down, gradually extinguished the flames in his heart, and slowed down his pace as Li Chang'an had just reminded him to do.
At the same time, the distance between the two of them and the people in front of them was getting farther and farther.
After feeling that it was about time, Li Chang'an frowned slightly, his face serious, and said to Feng Beichuan in a low voice, "I think there's something wrong with him."
"Who's acting strangely?"
Feng Beichuan felt somewhat confused. He looked around and around, but didn't find anything strange.
“Peach Blossom Lord, I think there’s something wrong with him.”
At this moment, Li Chang'an suddenly stopped and squinted at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him.
Her eyes shone exceptionally brightly in the darkness, as if they could see through everything.
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan began to observe Tao Yaojun more closely, trying to figure out what made this person different from usual.
Gradually, he seemed to discover a clue as well.
Although there was nothing wrong with his height, build, or clothes, Feng Beichuan still felt a strange feeling about this person that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
What exactly went wrong?
"Don't you think his walking posture is a little different from Tao Yaojun's usual walking posture...?"
At this moment, Li Chang'an suddenly spoke up and gave a reminder.
So Feng Beichuan carefully observed the person's walking posture as she had instructed, and suddenly felt enlightened. He nodded and said, "I remember that Tao Yaojun usually likes to put her right hand behind her back when she walks."
Feng Beichuan's observation was indeed very meticulous. Moreover, the man's walking pace was different from Tao Yaojun's usual pace.
Unlike Tao Yaojun's leisurely and carefree demeanor, this person walked with a very proper gait, completely unlike Tao Yaojun's usual nonchalant attitude.
"What on earth is going on? Could this person be an imposter?"
Feng Beichuan couldn't help but say with some surprise. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and take a closer look at the person. Apart from the walking posture and the feeling he gave off, this person was undoubtedly Tao Yaojun!
"I think it's very likely that's the case; he's not Tao Yaojun at all. But right now it's just suspicion, and we need to find an opportunity to test him."
Li Chang'an lowered his voice and spoke in a deep voice, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
"What do we do now?"
Feng Beichuan also had a cold expression on his face. After speaking, he raised his eyes and carefully examined the man's back. But then he saw the man turn his head and look at him.
The two met eyes, and Feng Beichuan was taken aback. He then coughed lightly twice, subtly reminding Li Chang'an, who was standing to the side with his eyes down, secretly thinking of a solution.
Upon meeting the eyes behind the mask, Li Chang'an couldn't help but freeze for a moment before turning to look at Feng Beichuan beside him.
Feng Beichuan suddenly raised his hand and patted Li Chang'an on the shoulder, then stepped forward and said as if nothing had happened, "Lord Taoyao, when you fought that person just now, did you find out where he came from?"
As he spoke, Feng Beichuan familiarly put his arm around Tao Yaojun's shoulder.
At the same time, he clearly felt the other person's body suddenly stiffen, which made him even more certain of his previous suspicions—this person definitely had a problem!
With Tao Yaojun's carefree personality, she can chat even with strangers, let alone acquaintances.
"This person's moves are extremely unpredictable and profound; I have not been able to figure out his methods."
Hearing the man's nonchalant tone, Feng Beichuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips. He then feigned surprise and said, "Is that so? I didn't expect him to be such a formidable opponent. No wonder you took so long to return. Sigh, it's a real shame we couldn't capture him..."
Upon hearing this, the other person merely gave a faint smile and then replied somewhat perfunctorily, "Hehe...that's true."
Upon hearing this, a dark and ambiguous look flashed in Feng Beichuan's eyes, and then he suddenly reached out and removed the mask from the other person's face.
