If I ask you to go undercover in the Hehuan Sect, will you go?

“They finally discovered Lin Cairan’s awesomeness…powerfulness???”

"I guess so. It could also be Lin Yuxi's idea. No matter if it's the Jade Maiden Sect or Lin Yuxi, I don't want Lin Cairan to be taken back by them."

Lu Chen could understand Xu Feng's worries.

Even if the Jade Maiden Sect is not the main culprit, it is at least an accomplice in the destruction of the country.

If Lin Cairan was taken back by them and brainwashed, she would become a loyal fang of the Jade Maiden Sect.

Just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for Lin Cairan.

Lu Chen definitely doesn't want this to happen.

"But Brother Xu, why don't you protect her yourself? Why do you need my help? My cultivation is far inferior to yours."

Xu Feng was silent for a long time, not wanting to answer this question. "Did you see me kicking her last time? I tell you, I kicked her very hard, without any mercy."

"Isn't this a conspiracy you set up together???"

"No. I actually... did something very bad to her. As a result, she wanted to kill me as soon as she saw me."

"Ah!!! What kind of thing???"

At this time, a flower girl happened to bring wine. Xu Feng waited for a while, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, he said in a deep voice: "I hate children. I have lived to such an age, but I have never thought of having a child. I am free and easy-going by nature, and I just want to be free. So, in order to get rid of her little follower, I took her to the Ice Mist Forest and abandoned her there, regardless of her young age."

“How old was she???”

"Three years old."

"Three years old!!! A little girl who is only three years old, how can you be so cruel to abandon her, Brother Xu???"

Lu Chen found it hard to understand. Lin Cairan was so pretty and must have been extremely adorable when she was a child. Who could be so cruel as to abandon such a lovely little girl?

Xu Feng seemed impatient with Lu Chen's reproach. "I just said it, I hate children. I saved her, and I have done my duty to my ancestors. Whether she lives or dies in the Ice Mist Forest has nothing to do with me. I don't care at all!"

"Ice Mist Forest, this name sounds very scary. Can a three-year-old girl survive it?"

"If she can't survive, then she can't survive. If she lives, she will be trapped in the vortex of hatred for the rest of her life, so she might as well just die!!"

"and you..."

Lu Chen wanted to ask why you let me take care of her, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Feng might have had his own reasons for doing so.

Throwing Lin Cairan into the Ice Mist Forest was definitely intended to train her will and abilities.

Either die or survive in a lonely, dangerous environment.

But she is just a child, a three-year-old child!!!

It's outrageous that a three-year-old can survive in a dangerous forest!!!

No wonder Lin Cairan is always so cold and does things entirely by herself.

It's not easy for her to live till now and still be alive and well.

Xu Feng went too far, so it was normal for Lin Cairan to hate him.

Even if they are the biological parents, they will not escape being hated if they do this.

"She wants to kill you, and you don't care at all??"

"It's up to her. It's her business what she wants to do."

“Why did you kick her in the alley that day??”

"I... hope she... keeps... Thank you, brother Lu Chen, and I'll take my leave tonight."

Xu Feng hesitated, drank a few cups, then stood up and left the Moon Viewing Pavilion without telling Lu Chen the reason.

Lu Chen picked up the wine glass and walked to the window, looking at the bright crescent moon in the sky.

Xu Feng’s behavior is actually not difficult to understand.

He wanted to tell Lin Cairan and himself that he was a bad guy to Lin Cairan. Since he was a bad guy, he would be bad to the end.

Xu Feng didn't want to pretend to be a good person, nor did he want to explain, and he didn't want Lin Cairan to have any hesitation in her heart.

After all, just by listening to Xu Feng's narration, Lu Chen could feel the entanglement in it, not to mention the person involved, Lin Cairan.

Lu Chen went downstairs two hours after Xu Feng left. When he was about to go back to the basement, a lot of spiritual power suddenly burst out from the God-Slaying and Fallen Soul Book, which pushed Lu Chen to the middle stage of foundation building in one fell swoop, and even had a small surplus.

"Xiao Qi, what's going on?"

"You can't see it yourself."

"I'll spank you, Xiao Qi!!"

“You can’t hit it.”

"Humph!!!"

Lu Chen opened the attribute panels of the four people one by one and took a look.

It was discovered that Lin Cairan had recovered and reached the great perfection of foundation building.

It seems that she converted all the spiritual power absorbed from Li Zhou into her own spiritual power.

"Of course, are you okay?"

Lin Cairan's voice rang out: "How do you know?"

"As long as you're okay."

"Where are you?"

"Red Embroidery Tower."

"Okay. Stay there and don't go too far. I'll be right there."

"I'll wait for you at the back door of the inn next door."

Lu Chen looked around for a while and did not find anyone suspicious.

He stood at the back door of the inn and could clearly hear the sound of dishes being washed in the backyard.

It was pitch black outside, but the night sky was filled with stars and the view was stunning.

The weather was a little chilly, but Lu Chen's heart was warm.

It was as if he was waiting for his beloved girl, and he felt inexplicably excited.

Lin Cairan arrived faster than Lu Chen had expected, but she did not show up. Instead, she watched from a distance.

She didn't know what was going on in her mind.

Logically speaking, if she didn't care, why didn't she just go over there?

If you care, why do you want to calm your heart?

But there was another reason, she was here again, nearby.

I don’t know if he came to see me or for something else.

Lu Chen rubbed the bluestone slabs with his shoes from time to time, without any impatience.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps broke the silence and sounded on the street to Lu Chen's left.

He quickly looked sideways and soon saw a beautiful figure.

His heart was about to beat out of his chest.

But soon there was a hint of confusion.

The other person had a high ponytail tied simply with a red ribbon.

The top is red and white, white on the left and red on the right. The sleeves are sword sleeves that are tightened inward. The bottom is a long black skirt with a golden belt wrapped around the waist.

Refined and elegant, heroic and dashing.

The steps seemed very slow, but in the next second they were already in front of him.

She has no makeup on her face, but she is still extremely beautiful.

Seeing the true face of "Lin Cairan" in real life for the first time, Lu Chen was so excited that he almost wanted to hold her hands.

"Of course, why are you dressing up as a man?"

Lu Chen glanced at Lin Cairan's breasts. They were ordinary and not as round and full as he had imagined.

"That's amazing. If I didn't know you were a woman, I wouldn't have been able to tell."

"Yeah."

"You... your voice is so good that it's exactly like a boy's. I can't tell the difference at all."

Lu Chen circled around "Lin Cairan" a few times and found something wrong.

"You are not Lin Cairan, you are Lin Yuxi!!!"

Lin Yuxi's expression froze for a moment, but soon she returned to her smile.

"You noticed our difference so quickly?? How did you tell them apart??"

"You have a different scent."

"It shouldn't be like that. My body is exactly the same as hers, so why would the scent be different?"

Facing Lin Yuxi, Lu Chen felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

The opponent is in the early stage of Nascent Soul and can really kill me with a snap of his fingers.

Lu Chen tried to calm his nervousness: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Yuxi said calmly: "If I said I was here to kill you, what would you think?"

Lu Chen's breathing became extremely rapid. The pressure from Lin Yuxi pinned him down so hard that it was very difficult for him to move.

"Kill me? Why do you want to kill me? We have no grudges against each other, why do you want to kill me?"

"I don't need a reason to kill someone. I will kill if I want to. Besides, you are a traitor of Yuqing Sect and now a disciple of Hehuan Sect. We are incompatible, good and evil cannot coexist."

"If you wanted to kill me, you should have done it long ago instead of wasting time talking to me!"

Lu Chen didn't want to admit defeat, so he tried to straighten his body.

"Come out, sister, there's no use hiding." Lin Yuxi said towards the darkness.
