Xiao Yi spoke to Lele on the phone using Yuan Wenbin's voice.

Lele didn't notice anything unusual. He happily talked about what happened in the past two days and asked his "daddy" to come back soon.

Xiao Yi finally reminded him, "You must listen to your mother," and then hung up the phone.

"You must stay alive and keep my promise to go home."

Xiao Yi had a complicated expression and was a little confused as to whether this phone call was a good thing or a bad thing for Lele.

“Who…who do you want to keep alive, the little girl’s father?”

Xiao Wan obviously heard something and gave up some of her previous "evil" thoughts.

"I'm the little girl's father, okay?"

Xiao Yi was not angry.

"Hey... why are you so anxious? This is just a misunderstanding. Besides, I didn't say anything just now."

Xiao Wan's voice became lower and lower, easing the embarrassment.

"What else do you have to say? You girl, seeing is believing?"

Xiao Yi suddenly felt like he was standing at the highest moral point, as if he was about to judge Xiao Wan.

"I……"

Xiao Wan paused.

"Brother Xiaoyi, what's going on? Tell me quickly."

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and told Xiao Wan everything that had happened.

After hearing this, Xiao Yi's image in Xiao Wan's heart became even more majestic.

"If he really had an accident, then these mother and daughter..."

Xiao Wan frowned.

"Then we must continue to live on."

Xiao Yi said calmly.

"I am a little curious now, is this Yuan Wenbin an ordinary person?"

Xiao Wan nodded slightly, also thinking about something.

Seeing the message coming in, Xiao Yi picked up the phone.

Xiao Wantang: [We are going into the mountains. You and Wan'er will stay in the inn first. If there is any movement from the Donghuang Bell tonight, you can meet us again.]

Xiao Yi glanced at Xiao Wan and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​following her.

"what happened?"

Xiao Wan noticed Xiao Yi's gaze and asked.

"It's okay... That's not right. Weren't you supposed to be practicing just now? Why did you run out?"

Xiao Yi asked while replying to Xiao Wantang's message.

"I... am not full."

Xiao Wan smiled innocently.

"I happen to be hungry too, why don't we find some midnight snack."

"Midnight snack? Sure! I want two pig's trotters, fifty skewers, ten grilled kidneys, twenty oysters, and grilled leeks..."

"Why did you order the dishes? No, you ordered these things..."

"I only want two pig's trotters. The rest are for you."

"I don't need it!"

"Yeah, it will be needed."

Xiao Wan looked serious.

"How about we go out to eat? I want to go out for a walk."

"No, I'll call the front desk. I'm too lazy to move. Besides, it's really dangerous outside."

Xiao Yi said this exaggeratedly, but in fact he didn't want Xiao Wan to know that everyone in the Xiao family had already gone into the mountains.

"cut……"

Xiao Wan was disdainful and sat back on the sofa.

Soon, various delicacies were brought into the room and the two began to feast on them.

Xiao Yi seemed to be eating and drinking, but he was actually keeping an eye on the movements of the Donghuang Bell.

However, tonight, Donghuang Town and the distant mountains were quiet.

Many forces were once again scattered throughout the mountains, all waiting for the bell, but in the end they waited in vain.

"Why is there no movement?"

"Could it be that we made too much noise last night and disturbed the artifact?"

"That artifact...could it be that it is no longer here?"

Many disciples from various sects were discussing this.

It was not until the second half of the night that all the forces gradually dispersed, and everyone looked disappointed, as they had gained nothing that night.

Xiao Tianhua and his group did not stay any longer and returned to the inn.

In the living room, Xiao Yi and Xiao Wan were already waiting.

"Xiao Yi, do you think this is a trick of the Donghuang Bell? Its true body is not here."

Xiao Tianhua guessed.

"probably not……"

Xiao Yi shook his head. He still believed in Lao Gu's information.

"If there is no movement from now on, should we keep waiting?"

Xiao Jianshan spoke.

For a moment, everyone was silent. There was no movement from the Donghuang Bell last night, but no one could find it. Now there was no sound at all, making it even more difficult to find a solution.

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed.

Xiao Yi returned to the room, still a little confused. He called Gu Lao again, who asked him to stay calm and be more patient.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yi calmed down and continued to practice...

The next day.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and the whole town became very quiet and peaceful.

After two days and two nights of hard work, all the forces were somewhat exhausted and were preparing themselves.

"I'm so bored, Brother Xiaoyi, can you take me out for a walk?"

Xiao Wan looked at the rainy town outside and said.

"Are you sure about this weather?"

Xiao Yi asked back.

"Don't you think that rainy days will make this ancient town more charming?"

Xiao Wan looked serious.

"You really have some sentimental qualities."

Xiao Yi shrugged.

"Well, since I have nothing to do, I might as well go out for a walk."

Hearing this, Xiao Wan nodded excitedly.

Afterwards, the two said hello to Xiao Tianhua and others and left the inn.

In the distant mountains, there is a cloud of mist, and the beautiful scenery is in full view.

In the nearby town, rain washed the hundreds of years old stone roads, emitting a very pleasant smell of earth.

The Donghuang Ancient Town, which originally had a slow pace of life, has now become even more comfortable.

Many locals, regardless of age, gather in teahouses or taverns, drinking wine, tasting tea, listening to songs, and having a great time.

“I think I can live the rest of my life here.”

Xiao Wan suddenly said that she really liked this place.

"People always yearn for a life they don't have, but once they really live it, they will probably get bored after a while."

Xiao Yi said calmly.

"Just like many city dwellers yearn for the grasslands, they ultimately cannot bear the loneliness there."

“Stop preaching.”

Xiao Wan rolled her eyes.

"Haha, not really. What I mean is that as long as one's inner state is reached, it doesn't matter what kind of environment one is in, right?"

Xiao Yi smiled.

Xiao Wan nodded, thinking that this made sense.

The two walked around and finally came to a teahouse.

"I'm sorry sir, our store is full today."

The shop owner stepped forward and apologized.

"Is it full?"

Xiao Wan was a little disappointed.

At this time, almost every table in the huge teahouse was full of people, including many young ancient martial artists who were obviously quite bored and came out to stroll around.

"Yes, I'm so sorry."

The shop owner nodded.

"How about we go somewhere else?"

Xiao Wan suggested.

Xiao Yi was about to nod when his eyes fell on a table not far away, where only one person was sitting.

"Well, sir, the guest paid for tea for four people."

The shop owner explained.

Xiao Yi nodded, probably because he didn't want to share a table with others. If it were him, he would do the same.

Just when he was about to look away, he found that the other person was looking at him.

To be precise, the man's eyes should be on Xiao Wan.

"Brother Xiaoyi, let's go."

Xiao Wan didn't notice the other person's gaze and turned to leave.

"friend."

The man stood up and shouted to Xiao Yi.
