Apprentice: I live in Xuanjie, from nine to five

Seeing this scene, the young girl showed surprise on her face, looked around, and after a long pause, she said: "Young master is very powerful and different from others, if you can kill the mountain demon, the little girl will be very grateful."

"Naturally." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he strode forward.

The girl said behind him again: "The mountain road is winding and rugged, let me guide you to the lair of the mountain demon!"

Ye Chen smiled coldly, and sure enough, the fox showed its tail.

"Then there is a girl named Lao."

The girl walked up to Ye Chen to lead him the way, and the two set off deeper into the mountain.

……

Down the mountain at this time.

Ruan Xingfei was sitting cross-legged, quietly sitting on the grass and meditating.

Xia Wan'er was bored, so she picked up a few stones, sat on the grass, and played with them on her own.

"It's been more than half an hour, he shouldn't be in danger." Ruan Xingfei opened his eyes, with a distant and indifferent expression.

"Senior sister, don't worry, our master is..." Xia Wan'er knew Ye Chen's details, she almost slipped her mouth, and said again, "Our master will be fine."

"I hope." Ruan Xingfei closed her eyes, and remembered all that happened with Ye Chen in the wedding room in the tunnel that night.

Embarrassed and annoyed, her fair cheeks suddenly flushed.

Damn!

"Senior sister, don't worry, let's wait for good news from Master here!"

Ruan Xingfei tried her best to restrain herself, and replied coldly, "Yes."

She won't worry about Ye Chen!

At any rate, she was also an empress, so how could she easily commit herself to others!
Recalling the humiliation of that night, she even wished that Ye Chen would die on the mountain.

But when she thought that the person she committed herself to died so easily at the hands of others, she felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Ruan Xingfei's heart was full of mixed feelings.

She wanted him to die, but she didn't want him to die. This kind of feeling was very contradictory and complicated.

At this time, the bronze mirror that Xia Wan'er threw on the grass before made another sound.

"Xiao Ruan~"

"Xiao Xia~"

Ye Chen's voice actually came from this bronze mirror.

"Hey, Senior Sister! It seems to be Master's voice!" Xia Wan'er immediately searched for the sound and picked up the bronze mirror from the ground.

Ye Chen's face was clearly printed on the bronze mirror.

"Xia Xia."

Ye Chen in the mirror said.

"It's really Master!"

Ye Chen in the mirror looked very real, and his expression was very natural, no different from usual.

Xia Wan'er looked at Ye Chen's face in the mirror, completely forgetting his previous instructions.

"Xia Xia, tell your senior sister to hurry up the mountain together."

Ye Chen's tone was friendly and gentle.

Ruan Xingfei on the side quickly got up, rushed over, and snatched the bronze mirror from Xia Wan'er's hand.

She scolded, "Don't listen!"

Ye Chen in the mirror smiled and said, "Xiao Ruan, I have already dispelled the illusion in the mountains."

"Senior sister, don't worry, the master said that the illusion has been lifted." Xia Wan'er pouted.

"Xiao Ruan, hurry up and take your junior sister up the mountain together." Ye Chen in the mirror continued to urge.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Xingfei sneered and threw the bronze mirror on the ground without hesitation.

"Senior sister, what are you doing!" Xia Wan'er wanted to bend down and pick up the bronze mirror from the ground.

Ruan Xingfei quickly activated Lihuo in her body, flicked her palm, and the bronze mirror on the ground instantly turned into a puddle of molten iron.

"Senior sister, what are you doing!" Xia Wan'er was startled by Ruan Xingfei's sudden actions.

Ruan Xingfei immediately explained: "Master said when he left, no matter what he heard or saw, don't believe it."

"But just now, the master said that the illusion has been solved..." Xia Wan'er bent down, looked at the pool of molten iron on the ground, and felt very sorry, "It's all right now, I can't contact them anymore."

"You are so simple, how did you cultivate to the saint level?" Ruan Xingfei couldn't help complaining when she saw Xia Wan'er's innocent appearance.

"Hmph! You don't care how I got it!" Xia Wan'er was also angry, she pouted her pink mouth, and turned her back.

"Childish." Ruan Xingfei spat out two words coldly.

……

At this time, Ye Chen had been walking behind the girl for some time on the mountain.

"Girl, we've been away for nearly an hour, and I don't know how long it will take to arrive." Ye Chen asked suspiciously.

"It should be soon." The girl turned her head and responded.

Ye Chen smiled and said in a joking tone: "I have to say, the girl is really strong, with such a thin body, she can walk for such a long time."

If it was an ordinary girl, she would have been clamoring for a rest.

The girl was stunned, stopped, and then said: "When I was young, I used to go up the mountain with my father to collect medicines. After walking a lot, I got used to it."

"That's right."

The girl stretched out her slender arms, pointed to the locust tree at the corner of the mountain road, and said, "If you are tired, you can rest here."

"Alright."

The two walked under the locust tree, and Ye Chen randomly found an open space and sat down.

The girl also came over, sat next to Ye Chen, and asked, "Have you ever heard of ghosts, my lord?"

Ye Chen replied: "I've never heard of it."

"It is rumored that there is a deep mountain where a tiger that can imitate human speech lives. It lures strangers into the mountain through its sound."

"People who are eaten by tigers will become ghosts to help tigers lure others to eat by tigers."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Sounds interesting."

Seeing that Ye Chen didn't show any surprise, the girl asked again: "Don't you think it's a terrible thing to be deceived by the same kind, sir?"

"I don't think it's possible for living people to lie to each other with nonsense, and it's not uncommon for people who die in the tiger's mouth to pay for the tiger's life~"

"My lord has unique insights." The girl lowered her head, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, she sighed faintly.

"Remember sad things again?" Ye Chen asked.

"Ah."

"Anyway, there's still some distance to go, let me tell you, let me see if I can relieve the girl's worries?" Ye Chen's eyes showed a hint of cunning.

"Hey, my biological father is actually a disciple of the Nanban Xie Sect. The elder sent him to rescue the disciple who was kidnapped by the Taoist sect."

"My father rescued him quickly with his agility. Unexpectedly, he was killed by the disciple he rescued just after leaving the Taoist sect..."

"Those kidnapped disciples have already returned to the Taoist sect?" Hearing this, Ye Chen already understood seven or eight points.

"That's right. I was only seven or eight years old at the time, and not long after my father died, the Xie clan was annexed by the Taoist sect."

"Hey~" Ye Chen sighed pretentiously, lowered his voice, and asked, "Then where did you go?"

"I escaped from the sect, and a kind pharmacist adopted me. I often go to the mountains to collect medicine with him, and my life is quite stable."

The girl sighed again, and continued.

"Later, my adoptive father took me to move home, passed by here, and was eaten by a mountain demon..."

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, she looked very pitiful.

Ye Chen then comforted: "After I kill the mountain demon, I will take you to the city to resettle..."
