Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

But why?

Chu Yu checked the message inside.

Qi Shuoxing found a place in Xuanxia Mountain to keep some things for Feng Wuran, but the things were lost two days ago. Feng Wuran was naturally worried, so Qi Shuoxing wrote him a letter like this in reply.

The general meaning is that Xuanxia Mountain should not be disturbed. If help is really needed from people in Xuanxia Mountain, Chu Yu can be trusted.

Why didn't Shuoxing tell me directly about this?

"Miss Chu Yu must know the previous identities of the Qi brothers and sisters. We met when they were still the princes and princesses of the Zhaorui royal family. Sister Shuo Xing and I are close friends."

Feng Wu Ran leaned lightly on the guardrail, looking at Chu Yu's expression, thinking that the matter was already 80% settled, and resumed his lazy attitude: "Miss Chu, don't blame me for not explaining my relationship with Shuo Xing at the beginning. To put it bluntly, even if she completely trusts you, I still have to know your strength, right?"

"But after reading this, I finally understand why Shuo Xing only mentioned you when there are so many talented people in Xuanxia Mountain."

"Not only are you considerate, but you also don't want to repay a favor. I can see that from A Yao. Although you asked him for two promises, it is also his responsibility. If you just saved his life but didn't ask for anything, and you were still arguing with him, I would suspect that you have ulterior motives and just like others to owe you a favor."

Chu Yu confirmed again and again that it was Qi Shuoxing's breath. He lowered his eyes, handed the teleportation talisman back, and replied casually: "When the princess is trying to win over the forces, it is inevitable that she needs to make others owe you. Has the princess never used the thing of debt of favor?"

The smile in Feng Wuran's eyes slowly faded, and he said unnaturally: "Haha, of course I have used it, and most of them are useful."

Chu Yu raised an eyebrow and laughed casually: "A small part of it was used, something went wrong."

Feng Wuran: "Miss Chu, please forgive me for making fun of you. The fifth prince you exposed in public betrayed me a few days ago, and I saved him when I was a child."

These few concise words summarize a lot of information.

At this time, the soul smacked its lips in the sea of ​​consciousness: "Chu Yu, you are good at poking people in the sore spot."

Chu Yu: "I didn't, I just blurted out whatever came to my mind."

Shenhun: "People will unconsciously trust those they have helped. No wonder you have always been wary of Jingyan and didn't trust him."

Chu Yu: "What's that? Didn't I save him when I saw injustice, and then ask him to help me find the water beads?"

Shenhun said awkwardly, "I forgot that you lost this memory."

Chu Yu: "...I don't know why my mood suddenly turned bad."

Chu Yu didn't continue arguing with Shenhun, she decided to agree to this matter.

"Princess, I'm not a master tracker, but I will do my best to help you."

Chu Yu said this, leaving some room for maneuver if the object couldn't be found.

"With Miss Chu's help, things will definitely be accomplished." This time Feng Wuran smiled sincerely.

Since Chu Yu agreed, Feng Wuran didn't wait a moment. He thought that it took a lot of effort to deal with this woman and he couldn't waste any more time.

Feng Wuran directly cast a teleportation talisman. Chu Yu didn't even see clearly the talisman she threw at him. He only felt a faint strange green light, and then it directly teleported Feng Yao and Chu Yu to the scene of the accident.

As soon as Chu Yu landed, he felt dizzy and his stomach churned, so he couldn't help but complain:

"What kind of teleportation talisman is this? I feel as sick as if I had eaten rotten moss."

Feng Yao: "Eh~ Why do you describe it in such detail? Just bear with it and it will pass. You should be thankful that the teleportation location was accurate this time and you were not stuck in the cracks of the rocks."

At this time, Feng Wuran's voice came: "You can teleport freely within a hundred miles~"

"Outrageous." Chu Yu commented. Chu Yu looked around and found that there were only Feng Yao and her.

"Where's your eldest sister?"

"Here it is." Feng Yao took out a treasure with a metallic luster, and Feng Wuran's voice came from inside:

"The restrictions have all been broken. Miss Chu, help me take a good look to see if there is anything suspicious."

Chu Yu's dizzy and uncomfortable feeling had just dissipated when he discovered that the place was emitting a strong stench.

The ground was also sticky and wet.

Therefore, Chu Yu said to Feng Wuran in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Why don't you come over yourself?"

"I'm too lazy to put on shoes. The floor is so dirty." The tone on the other end was matter-of-fact.

Chu Yu rolled his eyes inwardly and looked towards the other end of the road.

This is a cave. There seems to be only one way in and out, and the entrance has been blocked by fallen rocks.

No wonder it could only be teleported in. Chu Yu clapped his hands and went to investigate the damaged restriction.

This is a heavenly forbidden rune. There is a huge burnt black hole next to it. Someone used a more advanced blasting rune to forcibly break it open and then broke in.

The aura emitted by this rune is still there. Judging from the properties of the mysterious energy, it is the power of fire and emits a faint purple glow. It is the work of a high-level rune master of the Purple Flame Kingdom.

The surroundings were charred black. After the ban was broken, the protection was activated, and the intention was to burn the intruder to death with purple flames, but it obviously did not succeed.

Chu Yu stepped into the space. The middle stage was empty. There was a box storing the marks left behind, and on the ground there were three bodies that were burned to the point that only skeletons were left.

The corpse was wearing the armor of the Zi Yan royal guards.

Chu Yu pointed at the three bodies and asked, "Who are they?"

Feng Yao replied with a look of pity: "Guard Cui and his men, they were all the people that my eldest sister trusted the most. Brother Cui was the one who grew up with us, and yet he died here."

Their clothes were burned, leaving only a few pieces of armor, but Feng Yao could still recognize them.

"Is there no other exit here?"

Chu Yu stared at one of the corpses and asked.

Feng Yao recalled carefully: "No, this place is at the bottom of the lake. There is only one tunnel leading in, and the entrance is also the only exit."

Chu Yu: "Do these three guards usually go out?"

Feng Yao: "No, the entrance is shielded by illusions and sleight of hand. If you want to go in or out, you can only teleport, and you must use my elder sister's teleportation talisman. Once the restrictions here detect outsiders, the protection will be triggered."

Chu Yu frowned and looked at the messy footprints on the ground, which were traces of a fight.

I compared it with the feet of the three men and found that the sizes corresponded to the three bodies.

There was also a fourth person, whose size was significantly different from the other three.

The scars on the bones of these corpses were all caused by external sharp objects...

"Can you catch the thief?" Feng Yao interrupted and asked.

"Let me take another look. The more anxious I am, the harder it is to find out."

Chu Yu shifted his gaze away from the burnt skull and checked for signs of battle around him.

Once this restriction is broken, Feng Wuran will be alerted immediately.

When he is about to leave, he will blow up the restriction and create an illusion that the entrance is not destroyed, which means he will be teleported away. Teleportation is the fastest and most convenient way.

found it.

This person faked traces of battle, but he couldn't imitate the residual Xuan Qi of others, and time was urgent, so he didn't have time to think so much.

The sword marks on the stone wall were all made by brute force. He knew that he could not imitate the residual Xuan Qi of others, so he simply pretended that everything was burned clean by Zi Yan.

It’s not her mutated fire, can it really burn it all?

There's still some spiritual energy from the treasure box left on the table where it was stored. There's no point in burning it all.

Feng Yao watched Chu Yu look around, raising his hand from time to time to sense something, and finally returned to the corpse. He finally stopped next to Guard Cui, picked up one of Guard Cui's leg bones, and knocked it on the ground.

"Miss Chu Yu, I'm not saying this, but are you really capable? Can you please respect the deceased?" Feng Yao thought about how Guard Cui had been loyally accompanying you for a long time, and couldn't stand Chu Yu's behavior. He felt that Chu Yu was not respectful enough to the deceased.

But he shut up the next second.

When the leg bone was knocked, there was no response. When it was knocked again, a piece fell off. When it was knocked a third time, the bone broke in the middle.

But the other two bodies were different. Their leg bones were as tough and strong as steel and did not break.

"These two bones represent the physical strength of a high-level spirit king, right, Third Prince?" Chu Yu put the other two bones back and looked at Feng Yao with a smile.

Feng Yao took a long time to react and murmured, "Maybe it was burned too much..."

Chu Yu didn't explain much, as Feng Yao's expression clearly showed that he couldn't convince himself.

The man must have taken advantage of their familiarity to trick the other two into letting down their guard, leading to their murder. Then he hastily faked the scene.

He had already chosen someone to die in his place. This person might have been dead for a long time, and his corpse... or bones had been kept by Guard Cui all the time. This unlucky guy had to be of similar size to him, but not as strong as him, otherwise it would not be so easy for him to be his scapegoat. Perhaps it was due to negligence, bad luck, or lack of time, so he only found someone with a huge gap in physical strength, thinking that he could get away with it by relying on Zi Yan's burning.

After everything is done, destroy the ban and then teleport away.

"Guard Cui obviously watched my elder sister and I grow up. We treat him as our elder. Why would he do this?" Feng Yao was very emotional and looked incredulous.

Chu Yu calmly replied: "Obviously, your sister's mortal enemy is more skilled than you in using spies."

Feng Yao's defense was broken, first by his fifth brother, then by Guard Cui...

In this cruel world, who else can he trust besides his elder sister?

A fragile heart seemed to face the cruel world for the first time, and it shattered silently in the silence.

Chu Yu focused his attention on the footprints of the fourth person, which faintly retained the aura of a teleportation talisman, exactly the same as the teleportation talisman that Feng Wuran had that emitted a strange green light.

Maybe we can start from here.

What a pity, I forgot to bring Mo Xuan with me. This place stinks, and Chu Yu feels like his sense of smell has become numb.

How can you look for someone without bringing Mo Xuan along?

Chu Yu stood up and asked Feng Yao to go back to the mountain gate to fetch his spirit pet, but he found that Feng Yao's face was slightly gloomy, his eyes were slightly red, he was filled with bitterness and hatred, and he tightly grasped the precious sound transmission device in his hand.

Oh my god, this kid has a chuunibyou syndrome.

Chu Yu ignored him and spoke to Baoqi: "Princess, there is some clue."

Feng Wuran's voice came from the other end: "Hurry up and speak."

Chu Yu: "There is a traitor among you. Let the Third Prince tell you the details. I have to go back to pick up my pet and continue to look for more clues."

Feng Wuran was startled when he heard the content of the conversation, and said impatiently: "Go and come back quickly, let A Yao reply."

"Sister..." Feng Yao's hesitant voice was heard. Chu Yu no longer cared about the brother and sister. Anyway, the restrictions here were useless. She gathered a ball of mysterious energy with star-like light, opened the way to the exit, and left quickly.

He first sank into the water and dived for a long time, then swam along the rock cave at the bottom of the lake and finally swam to the exit.

She wanted to see where this place was.

When I emerged from the water, I realized that this was actually a deep lake surrounding the outer city of Xuanxia Mountain. From afar, I could see the endless prosperity and bustle of the outer and inner cities.

Chu Yu quickly flew back to Wangxing Peak. Now that she was alone and quiet, she couldn't help but recall what Feng Wuran said.
