In the early morning, Hei Xiao and Ji Chenhai arrived after handling the follow-up matters at the Nanli Prince's Mansion.
The two of them, along with Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, and the others, walked around the woods near the ancient temple twice, but they still couldn't find anything amiss.
Scratched by branches and vines, Song Huilan, exhausted and weary, finally collapsed.
Ji Fengming carefully helped Song Huilan up and picked her up, handing her over to Wuying.
Ji Chenhai had never seen Ji Fengming care so much about any woman before, so he took a second look at Song Huilan.
Although it was dark, you could still tell that she was a pretty girl.
Black Owl frowned slightly, looked up at the trees around him, and various array diagrams inexplicably surged in his mind, one of which was similar to the scene before him.
He lightly touched the ground with his feet and spiraled upwards.
"Xiao Chen, where are you going?" Ji Fengming made a move to follow.
Black Owl's voice, as calm as a chilly early winter breeze, drifted from the treetops: "Take good care of your girl."
Ji Fengming: "..."
He subconsciously glanced back at Song Huilan on Wuying's back, completely bewildered.
When did she become his girl?
When Ji Fengming inadvertently met Ji Chenhai's probing gaze again, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Father, it's not me, I didn't do it, don't listen to Xiao Chen's nonsense!"
“Although she is related to that person, I think she is kept in the dark. She is still quite innocent. After we rescue Yao Yao, I will ask the Song family for your hand in marriage.” Shang Xiye added with great concern, “But right now, it is more important to find Yao Yao first.”
Ji Fengming: "!!!"
No, what's wrong with him? Why are they all trying to arrange marriages for him?
Honestly, he had absolutely no other feelings for Song Huilan!
Forget it, he should just go after Xiao Chen. His father and brother-in-law are such stubborn people, they'll propose marriage at the drop of a hat, it's terrifying!
When Ji Fengming caught up, Hei Xiao was standing on the top of a tree, furiously slashing at the dark void above the treetop.
Is he so angry that he's started randomly hitting and slapping things to vent his frustration?
A strange feeling welled up in Ji Fengming's heart, both awkward and strange: "Xiao Chen, what are you doing?"
"Break the formation," Black Owl said, adding more force to his hand. With this palm strike, he felt the vibration in that area become even more intense, but he still couldn't break through it.
Ji Fengming: "..."
This child must be furious.
To claim you've broken the formation by wildly hacking and slashing at the sky is clearly nonsense!
He pursed his lips, turned to the side, grabbed Black Owl's sleeve and tugged at it, saying, "That's really not true. It's just that this is the first time I've implicated an innocent person, and I felt bad seeing her suffer so much with us for no reason, so I took extra care of her..."
Black Owl: "...Phoenix Cry."
Ji Fengming was twisting his body, and judging from his voice, he didn't seem happy at all. He continued with a smirk, "I did it all for Yao'er. If it weren't for Yao'er, when would I ever do something so pointless..."
Hei Xiao glanced at Ji Fengming's hand tugging at his sleeve, and, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed him and pulled him closer. Pointing to the spot where Ji Fengming had previously cleaved, he said, "There's something there. I reckon it's the array eye that Xiao Yao'er mentioned. If we work together to break it open and take out what's inside, the array around here will probably be broken."
"The array, the array eye?" Ji Fengming looked in the direction the black owl pointed and found that the void there was indeed slightly different from other places.
That place seemed to be darker and more shaded than the others; it was hard to spot without careful observation.
