Xie Zhou had a long face, clearly not wanting to go out with Ling Feng.
"Doctor, I really don't want to go... I can't bear to leave my little friend behind. Could you talk to the Immortal Venerable and ask me to stay here and take care of my little friend until he wakes up before I go over?"
Xie Zhou blinked, looking aggrieved.
Although Feng Lingxue thought Xie Zhou's aggrieved expression was rather hasty, she still comforted him: "It's okay, Lingfeng isn't a monster that eats people. Just follow him and don't provoke him. Go on, go on."
Feng Lingxue sighed and said, "I will keep a close eye on your little lover for you, don't worry."
Then, Feng Lingxue waved to Xie Zhou.
"Waaaaah, okay..."
When Xie Zhou realized that even the last straw couldn't save her, he could only helplessly take small steps towards the outside.
"Xie Zhou, what are you dawdling about?"
As soon as they stepped outside, they heard Ling Feng's reprimand.
"No, no, I was just too worried about Senior Brother Brahma, so I dawdled for a while."
Xie Zhou realized he had said the wrong thing as soon as he finished speaking.
Ling Feng's gaze also locked onto Xie Zhou, and this powerful aura directly pressed Xie Zhou to the ground, rendering him unable to move.
"Immortal Venerable, what are you doing? I'm just grateful to Senior Brother Luo Fantian for taking care of me since I was a child. Does this mean that in the Sword Sect, we all have to be cold-blooded, ruthless, and ungrateful monsters?!"
Xie Zhou gritted his teeth and managed to say those words.
"snort!"
Lingfeng snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve. Xie Zhou then felt more comfortable all over, and the pressure that felt like a mountain disappeared instantly.
"Now you know how ruthless Lingfeng is, right? You'd better never say the wrong thing again, or you'll regret it!"
The system continued to leisurely fan itself.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear you speak right now!"
Xie Zhou glanced at the system with annoyance.
Just as he was complaining about it, it came out and gave Xie Zhou a lecture.
"Okay, okay, then I won't say anything."
For some reason, the system was unusually obedient today. When told not to speak, it actually shut its mouth obediently.
"Is there anything else that's bothering you? Let me have the fairy boy take a look."
In the blink of an eye, Lingfeng brought Xie Zhou to the front of the Frost Palace.
With a wave of his hands, the gates of the Frost Palace opened directly.
At the entrance, four fairies bowed respectfully, one right hand resting on their left shoulder: "Welcome, Immortal Venerable."
The fairies all said this in unison.
"You all go and prepare the meal first."
Lingfeng said coldly.
"Gurgle..."
Xie Zhou's stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
She hadn't felt anything at first, but when Lingfeng said "food," Xie Zhou felt her stomach was empty. Indeed, it seemed she hadn't eaten anything since entering the herbal medicine hall.
"Yes, Immortal Venerable."
The fairies all retreated in unison.
Only Xie Zhou and Ling Feng remained standing at the entrance of the Frost Palace.
Xie Zhou swallowed hard. The first time she came to this Frost Palace, her body was covered with marks from Ling Feng's injuries. She never expected that her second visit to the Frost Palace would be so soon.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go inside."
Ling Feng's voice remained devoid of any emotion.
"Oh, okay."
Xie Zhou appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
Could he be planning to silence me in the Frost Palace?
Has he already discovered that my identity is unusual?
Oh no! At least in the Herbal Medicine Hall, there was Feng Lingxue's protection, but in the Frost Palace, this is Ling Fengque's territory!
"Still standing there? What kind of behavior is this, dawdling like that!"
Lingfeng, however, was getting a little impatient.
"No...no...I...I was just too excited and thrilled. I never expected to come to Frost Palace again today!"
Xie Zhou made up some nonsense. At this moment, her mind was a little slow. She couldn't figure out Ling Feng's thoughts, so she could only proceed cautiously and carefully!
"Tell me in detail what happened in the forest, don't miss a single detail!"
Lingfeng made Xie Zhou kneel in front of him, while he found a futon and sat cross-legged.
"Here's what happened... A few days ago, Luo Fantian ventured into the Ghost Forest, but unexpectedly, a strange change occurred within the Ghost Forest, causing many high-level demons to migrate from the center of the Ghost Forest..."
Except for the part where she transforms into an unparalleled beauty, which Xie Zhou fabricated, everything else Xie Zhou told was the truth.
"That's the gist of it. After that, I don't know anything more."
Xie Zhou smiled at Ling Feng, but a fine layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
"If there's anything else you've forgotten or haven't told me, you'd better tell me everything. If I find out, things won't be like this anymore."
Lingfeng stared sharply at Xie Zhou.
Could it be that he figured something out?
No, that's impossible. Lingfeng wasn't there at the time. He couldn't possibly determine that I was Xie Zhou based on just a few sword energies, unless there was a third person watching in the Ghost Forest.
Xie Zhou was nervously analyzing the situation in his mind.
"What exactly are you hiding from me?!"
Seeing Xie Zhou in a daze, Ling Feng exuded pressure, making Xie Zhou feel as if his neck was being choked, and he could hardly breathe.
"I hate it when people lie to me."
With cold eyes fixed on Xie Zhou, Ling Feng was like a venomous snake about to devour someone, making Xie Zhou tremble with fear.
"Why do I have to tell you everything! Did I hurt you? I didn't! I didn't hurt anyone else either, I was just trying to save people! Why do you have to treat me like this!" Lingfeng exclaimed.
Xie Zhou felt the air around him getting thinner and thinner, and it became increasingly difficult to breathe. All his dissatisfaction and temper erupted in that instant.
"I'm not a member of your Sword Sect! I came to your Sword Sect out of necessity. It was you who insisted on keeping me here, saying that I would bring disaster to all living beings if I went down the mountain. What harm would I bring to all living beings? I clearly don't know anything!"
Xie Zhou almost fainted.
Just then, Xiao Huan woke up.
"Damn it, now that you've found out, I have nothing to be afraid of anymore! Xiao Huan! Come out!"
Xie Zhou could clearly sense that Xiao Huan's strength had improved further.
"Hiss!" In response to Xie Zhou's summons, Xiao Huan transformed from a small snake into a large snake.
"Who dares to bully my master! Are they courting death?!"
Xiao Huan spoke in human language, which startled Xie Zhou, but now was not the time to be surprised!
