A night is not long and it passes quickly.

The next day, when the sun rose above the branches, a dissatisfied complaint was heard from the woods.

"Sister Yu! Why don't we stay in the inn? Why do we have to run to this woods to rest?" Le Jinxi yawned, rubbed his panda eyes, and got up from the ground.

"Rest? Did I bring you here to rest?" Su Yueyu showed a hint of displeasure on her face, and her beautiful crystal eyes swept over.

Le Jinxi immediately perked up, straightened his back, and quickly changed the topic: "Practice. Of course I came here to practice. To be honest, after a night of practice, I do feel that the power of my body has improved a little. If I continue like this, it won't be long before I can use the Book of Life and Death freely."

"Really?" Su Yueyu looked at him in disbelief.

"Of course it's true!" Although I felt a little guilty, I couldn't say that I had slept all night!

"Okay! I've decided. In order to allow you to freely use the Book of Life and Death as soon as possible, from today on, I will deprive you of all your rest time, and I will personally supervise your training," Su Yueyu clapped his hands, as if he had made a great decision, with an excited smile on his face.

"No way, Sister Yu, I'm not ready yet. Why don't we start tomorrow?" Le Jinxi suddenly grabbed her jade hand with a pitiful expression.

Su Yueyu shook her head, pulled back her jade hand, gently pinched her thumb and index finger, and a red lotus petal was pinched in her hand: "Do you think my decision is not good?"

"No...no, it's great!" Le Jinxi quickly shook his head, with both thumbs raised straight up.

But I felt so wronged in my heart, "Oh! It's so terrible! How could I have such a master? God! Take me away quickly!"

"That's good! Keep practicing, and don't let me find out you're slacking off, otherwise, you know what will happen," Su Yueyu rolled her eyes at him and walked away with graceful steps.

"Oh!" With a sigh, Le Jinxi sat cross-legged in meditation. He wanted to start practicing, but his stomach was empty.

His mind was filled with the delicious food he had eaten at Ruyi Tower yesterday. He was in no mood to practice at all. Before he knew it, he fell asleep again in a daze.

The sun slowly rose and the temperature continued to rise. Before noon, it was already scorching hot.

A burst of noise woke Le Jinxi up, and he quickly got up and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw four or five carriages loaded with things parked outside the woods, and the people in the carriages had already got off.

"General, this place is very suitable for rest. Please wait for a moment, General and Madam. I will ask someone to tidy it up," said the old butler beside him with a bow.

"Alas! Why call me general? Call me master," the speaker was Xiao Kun, the demoted general of Fengling Kingdom. Now that he has taken off his armor, he looks less majestic and much more friendly.

"Yes! Master," the old butler led people into the woods, quickly cleared out a flat area, laid out feather mats, and then invited Xiao Kun and his wife to go in and rest.

"Hey! Who is that! Get out of here quickly," After finishing all this, the old butler noticed Le Jinxi standing not far away, and immediately waved his hand to drive him away.

"Lao Yuan, we disturbed his rest. How can we let him leave? Go and ask him to come over," Xiao Kun, with gray hair on his temples, spoke up to stop him.

Since the master had given the order, the old butler naturally did not dare to disobey, and went over angrily to invite Le Jinxi over.

"My friend, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. If you don't mind, how about we have a drink together?" Xiao Kun smiled and pointed to the wine and fruits placed on the feather mat, without any airs at all.

"Senior, you are joking. This forest is a place for others to rest. Why should we disturb you? However, I am very interested in tasting fine wine," Le Jinxi glanced unconsciously at the things on the feather mat.

He had no idea about the wine. He just wanted to eat some fruit on the feather mat to fill his hunger.

"Haha! You have a straightforward personality, which is just my taste. Come, sit down," Xiao Kun pulled him to sit down and poured wine for him personally.

Le Jinxi was flattered and took the wine glass. He expressed his gratitude and drank it all in one gulp.

Later, during their conversation, he guessed that Xiao Kun was of extraordinary identity, so he wanted to take the opportunity to ask about some rare treasures, some magical artifacts, and so on.

Think about it, you are also a time traveler. Even if you can't be as lucky as the protagonist, it shouldn't be too much to get lucky by chance!

Le Jinxi held the wine glass in both hands and said respectfully, "Senior, if I am not mistaken, you should be someone very important! Why don't you give me, a young man who is just starting out, some pointers on the way forward?"

"You have good vision. Our master is the general of Fengling Kingdom. If he can give you some advice, you should be happy!" Lao Yuan kept talking while pouring wine for Feng Kun.

"The conquering general of Fengling Kingdom? Wouldn't that be Xiao Yi's father! That's not right! Didn't Xiao Yi say that his father was in the imperial capital? How could he appear here? Could he be here to find his son?" Le Jinxi muttered to himself, thinking about the letter in his arms that Xiao Yi asked him to pass on to his father.

Swallowing his saliva, he asked weakly: "Excuse me, senior, do you know Xiao Yi?"

"Oh! Why do you ask this question, young man?" Xiao Kun paused with his hand holding the glass, and there was a subtle change in his eyes when he looked at Le Jinxi.

"To be honest, I was entrusted by someone to pass a letter to General Xiao Kun. I just heard from the butler that you are the general of Fengling Kingdom, so I asked this question," Le Jinxi stared at him closely, fearing that he was not the general.

"But you were entrusted by Xiao Yi? Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and interrogate you about Xiao Yi's whereabouts? Do you know that the reward for Xiao Yi is as high as one million crystal stones now?" Xiao Kun had a calm face and just stared at him, which really made Le Jinxi's heart hang in the air.

But after a moment Le Jinxi realized something. This calmness was not the same as that calmness. There was a hint of relief in Xiao Kun's calmness.

Le Jinxi understood instantly and said with a smile: "Haha! How can a father exchange his own son for a reward?"

Xiao Kun laughed immediately: "Hahahaha! Great! Yi'er didn't misjudge you, and I won't misjudge you either. You are worthy of friendship."

Then Le Jinxi handed him the letter and started eating the fruit.

After a long time, Xiao Kun handed the letter he had read to his wife who was silently standing by his side.

Then he raised his glass to thank Le Jinxi: "Thank you for saving Yi'er's life. This glass of wine is for you. If you need any help, just let me know."

After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.

Le Jinxi did not dare to neglect him, and immediately raised his cup to drink with him, saying: "If it is not too much trouble for you, Senior, could you please tell me a few places with natural treasures, so that I can try my luck there."

Xiao Kun frowned. He saw through Le Jinxi's cultivation at a glance. He didn't want him to die, so he advised: "Don't do this. Wherever there are natural treasures, there must be danger. To be honest, I don't think you have enough strength. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!"

The image of Su Yueyu wearing the Fire Wings and the Hellfire Armor appeared in his mind. Le Jinxi couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and thought, "Of course I can't do it by myself, but if I'm with Sister Yu, there will be no problem."

After glancing at the puzzled Xiao Kun, he was about to explain when a graceful figure flashed across the air and landed on the branch in front of them.

Still wearing a red dress, Su Yueyu jumped lightly, stepped on the wind and landed on the ground, and asked softly: "Tonight, who are they?"

"Sister Yu, you're back at the right time. These two are Xiao Yi's parents. I was just planning to introduce you to them!" Le Jinxi hurried over and took the lunch box from her hand.

"Oh!" Su Yueyu nodded and said nothing more.

"Uh... hehe!" Le Jinxi smiled awkwardly, thinking, "Why don't you just go up and say hello!"

"What a quick move! I didn't even notice it in advance," Xiao Kun was slightly surprised and couldn't help staring at her for a few more seconds. The words "stunning as hell" couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

"This must be Miss Su! Yi'er mentioned her in the letter. I would like to thank you for saving my life," Xiao Kun bowed and clasped his fists, expressing his sincere gratitude.

"You are too polite, senior. It was Jinxi's decision to save Xiao Yi. If you want to thank someone, thank him!" Su Yueyu returned the greeting, pushing the responsibility of saving Xiao Yi onto Le Jinxi.

The appearance of Su Yueyu made Xiao Kun understand the source of Le Jinxi's self-confidence. With skills that even he himself could not figure out, he could indeed venture into those places full of natural treasures.

Next it was Xiao Kun's teaching time. He talked about several places where rare treasures existed, and even listed the possible dangers that might be encountered.

"Senior, which place do you think is suitable for us?" Le Jinxi asked.

"Perhaps Lingze Mountains are more suitable! The distance is relatively close and it doesn't take a long time to travel," Xiao Kun thought for a while and gave a reasonable suggestion.

"Sister Yu, what do you think?" Le Jinxi turned his head and looked at Su Yueyu. After all, she was his greatest guarantee. If she disagreed, he would have no choice but to give up.

"I have no objection, but I have a request. Before entering Lingze Mountains, you must be proficient in using the life patterns, otherwise I will not accompany you in." Su Yueyu had opened the food box and placed it on the ground without her knowing. At this moment, she was picking up the ice-carved fish inside with chopsticks.

"Of course, I will be able to control my destiny patterns soon," Le Jinxi came closer and stretched out his hand towards the food box.

Pah! Su Yueyu's jade hand hit the back of his hand heavily, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is mine, yours is below."

As she spoke, she pulled out the drawer at the bottom of the food box and handed it to Le Jinxi.

Le Jinxi reached out to take it and was stunned: "Sister Yu..., is this the legendary scallion and tofu?"

Su Yueyu chuckled and explained, "We don't have many crystals, you know that, just make do with it!"

Le Jinxi blinked dully and reached out to the ice sculpture fish again: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind sharing one with you."

"But I mind," Su Yueyu quickly pulled the food box containing the fish aside and covered it with her hand, as if she was determined not to give it to him.

Watching the two of them playing around, Xiao Kun couldn't help but think of himself many years ago. He slowly looked at his wife who was silently watching him, and they smiled at each other, understanding everything.

Not long after, Le Jinxi and Su Yueyu followed Xiao Kun's carriage and left here together.

Lingze Mountains, passing through the border town, is a good opportunity to catch a ride.
