I knocked on the door three times, but there was no movement from inside, and Lana did not open the door as expected.

The second time, Lana still didn't come, but some strange noises came from inside.

Ye Xi and Xia Er looked at each other in confusion, and when they were about to knock for the third time, the door opened immediately.

As soon as Lana opened the door, the first person she saw was Charles, and then Ye Xi. In an instant, her eyes widened.

"How come it's you guys?"

"Long time no see, Miss Lana."

Charles smiled happily, while Ye Xi looked at Lana's reaction calmly. Her expression was a little dazed, and she stood there in a daze for a few seconds before coming to her senses.

"Her expression is so strange, is she hinting at something?" Ye Xi thought to himself.

"Long time no see, you two."

"Please, please come in. It's not safe at night."

Lana made way, stepped back a step, and greeted the two with a smile.

Charles walked in happily, and Ye Xi followed Charles with light steps, a slight nod and lowered brows.

At this time, Lana's expression became strange, her smile gradually disappeared, her face became indifferent, and then she slowly closed the door.

After entering the house, it was still the familiar hall. Ever since I went to Lingxi Mountain, seeing these exquisite furniture again seemed a little strange.

It is hard to imagine that this small villa belongs to Lana alone, and it is not located in the main city, so it becomes much quieter when night falls.

Charles said he liked this atmosphere very much. When it was quiet to a certain extent, he could even hear the tiny chirping of insects if he listened carefully.

Although this place is nice, it is not advisable to stay here for long. I will leave after I have cleaned it up.

Thinking of this, Charles felt a little lost, and a feeling began to emerge in his heart that it would be nice to have a home.

But subconsciously I also understand that this is what travel is all about, just go with the flow.

"So how long do you plan to stay this time?

Lana also specially prepared some snacks and brought milk and small cakes to the dining table.

Charles and Yexi sat side by side, Lana sat opposite them, and the scepter was next to their chairs.

Ye Xi noticed that her smile was a little uncomfortable, as if she was forcing herself to smile, and even her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

"Rather than how long we stayed here, you should be more curious about where we went during this time, right?"

"That's true. So where did you go? Did you find anything?"

In response to Lana's question, Charles showed confidence and told her what happened in the Spirit Breath Mountain.

Ye Xi sat beside her and drank a sip of milk silently. Lana smiled bitterly and looked at Charles who was listening with relish.

Charles became more and more excited as he spoke, and when Lana heard the story in Brest, her face turned red instantly.

Charles accidentally let slip that Brest had mistakenly said he liked Lana.

"Eh...Is that so..."

"No, no, no, why don't we change the subject... Stop teasing me..."

While Lana blushed out of embarrassment, Ye Xi didn't say a word or laugh the whole time.

She, who had always been very sensitive about her back, soon discovered something. For some reason, in the house where all the lights were originally on, except for the living room, all the other rooms became dark.

In the invisible corner, Ye Xi always felt that there were more than just them here.

"This breath..."

Ye Xi closed her eyes gently. She vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wandering outside the house.

But that thing was not on the ground, but underground. The magical aura was very scattered, as if there were many individuals.

"So this is what magical perception is?"

"Didn't these two people notice that something was moving around them?"

Ye Xi understood very well why he could suddenly sense this strange aura. It was because of Clark in his body.

But until now, Clark has not responded, and he remains in his body as if dead.

The power comes from the monster, and it is currently arising in my body, but it is very honest. Occasionally, I will dream of that ugly face with sharp fangs when I sleep at night.

Ye Xi slowly put down the cup and glanced at the scene where Lana and Ciel were having a happy conversation.

But the topic was coming to an end, and Lana was happy that Brest's conflict was resolved, and chuckled to herself.

"Really? This actually happened."

"I've never heard of the existence of guardians in the Rhine Kingdom since I was a child, and he never mentioned it to me either."

"Is that so? Then after everything is settled, Ye Xi and I will take you to Lingxi Mountain, right?"

"Well, actually I've wanted to go for a long time."

As the two of them were laughing, Ye Xi suddenly stood up.

"You guys chat first, I want to take a walk around here."

"Where Ye Xi goes, can I go too?"

Charles also stood up, but Ye Xi emphasized that he would not leave too far. Moreover, given the current situation, he could not be too careless even at night.

In fact, he was just curious about where the magic flower he raised had gone. For safety reasons, Ye Xi didn't want to bring Xiaer with him.

But in Lana's eyes, she thought they were leaving again.

Gradually, Lana's smile faded and she slowly stood up, holding the scepter.

His expression turned gloomy, which immediately made Ye Xi and Xia Eran, who were still arguing, stop and turn their attention to Lana.

"What's wrong, Lana?"

"We were just joking, don't mind it."

Charles smiled awkwardly and let go of his hand. Ye Xi silently lowered his hand and left his seat the next second.

"Um... I'm sorry."

"what?!"

Lana held her scepter, lowered her head and whispered something, Ye Xi and Xia Dun were confused.

However, in the next second, there was a sudden loud noise all around and upstairs. Figures appeared in their sight and quickly surrounded the three of them.

They gathered together to form a human wall, blocking all the gaps, and they were also wearing some equipment and weapons.

Ye Xi recognized these people as guards at a glance. Xiaer was stunned and his expression suddenly became panicked.

"What, what's going on, Lana, where did these people come from?!"

"Is this...were we ambushed?"

Ye Xi was very puzzled. This sudden encirclement caught the two of them off guard and blocked their way almost in an instant.

Looking at the space and number of people in the hall, the fact that they were able to do it so quickly and control the degree of encirclement showed that they had practiced many times before.

Eventually, a "trap" was formed, and he took advantage of the opportunity to appear when Ye Xi and Xia Er relaxed their vigilance and captured them.

"I'm asking you something!"

Ye Xi shouted at Lana, but Lana held the scepter tightly and dared not speak. Instead, she was frightened.

"Ye Xi, calm down!"

Ye Xi stared at Lana with his eyes wide open, but the other party refused to look up.

In just a few tens of seconds, Lana's trustworthiness collapsed in Ye Xi's eyes.

But this was not what made her angry. The sound that appeared next almost made Ye Xi explode with tentacles again.
