Just then, He Ying's slightly shy voice came from behind the screen: "Junior brother, I forgot my clothes, could you pass them to me?" Upon hearing this, Wu Feilong was struck dumb, his body trembling violently. He hurriedly waved his hand in refusal, saying, "No...no! Men and women should be different. How can I do such a thing? I'd better go out and find a woman to help you." After saying that, he didn't wait for He Ying to say anything more and rushed out the door.

Seeing Wu Feilong run out in such a panic, He Ying shook her head helplessly and said with a light scolding, "What a blockhead." Then she had no choice but to get up herself, walk through the layers of fog, walk to the bedside, pick up her clothes and put them on.

A moment later, He Ying, dressed neatly, went downstairs and took the prepared meal from Xiao Er's hands. She then carried the tray to Wu Feilong's room. She knocked on the door and called out, "Junior brother, it's time to eat." Wu Feilong's voice immediately came from inside: "Okay, come in." He Ying smiled, pushed open the door, and entered the room.

The two sat side by side at the table. Wu Feilong smiled and carefully handed the steaming hot vegetable bun to the woman beside him, saying softly, "Senior Sister, please have your meal." The woman frowned slightly and parted her lips, saying, "I have no interest in this vegetable bun. Meat buns are much more delicious." With that, she turned her head away and ignored him.

Seeing this, Wu Feilong didn't say anything and casually picked up a steamed bun from the table and began to eat it heartily. However, not long after, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, as if the world was spinning. Immediately afterward, an inexplicable heat rose from his body and instantly spread throughout his limbs.

"Senior Sister! What exactly did you do to me?" Wu Feilong stared at the person before him with a look of astonishment and anger. He Ying, on the other hand, giggled and moved gracefully to stand in front of him. She gently stroked her hair with her jade-like hand, her figure graceful and charming, and said in a coquettish voice, "Hmph, who told you to only have eyes for that Mu Yao? Today, I will definitely have you." As she spoke, she continued to flirt with Wu Feilong, doing everything she could to seduce him.

As time passed, sounds that would make one blush gradually filled the room; the old wooden bed, unable to bear the weight, creaked and groaned. After about two incense sticks' worth of time, the noise finally subsided. He Ying, satisfied, straightened her clothes and gracefully walked out of the room.

A while later, Wu Feilong felt a splitting headache, as if a thousand steel needles were stabbing his brain. He endured the excruciating pain, struggling to circulate his inner energy to try and dispel the strange discomfort. After some effort, his consciousness gradually cleared. When he saw himself lying naked on the disheveled bed, his clothes scattered everywhere, he immediately understood what had happened. He couldn't help but curse under his breath: "Damn it! How did I fall for that woman's trick again! It seems I'll have to dedicate myself to researching antidotes for aphrodisiacs from now on!"

"Surround this inn immediately! Don't let a single person escape!" The soldier in official robes, with a sword at his waist, glared angrily and gave orders to his many subordinates in a booming voice.

At this moment, Wu Feilong, who was staying in his room upstairs, heard a commotion outside. He hurriedly jumped out of bed, frantically put on his clothes, and rushed downstairs. As soon as he reached the lobby on the first floor, he was shocked by what he saw and gasped – dozens of fully armed soldiers had surrounded the entire inn like an iron barrel, making it impossible to get through.

Wu Feilong steadied himself, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he unleashed his unique "Fiery Eyes of Truth" skill. After a rapid scan, he indeed spotted the mysterious man he had fought the previous night mingling among the soldiers. At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he also noticed a hidden cellar entrance tucked away in a corner of the inn.

After a moment's thought, Wu Feilong unhesitatingly pulled a thunderbolt from his pocket and hurled it forcefully towards the center of the hall. A deafening roar erupted, flames shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the inn was thrown into chaos. Taking advantage of the panic, Wu Feilong swiftly disappeared into the cellar.

Upon entering the cellar, Wu Feilong quickly looked around, searching for a way to escape. Then he remembered that the pangolin beast that had followed him for many years might come in handy. So he softly called out, "Pangolin beast, it's up to you!" The pangolin beast seemed to understand its master's command, sniffing the air lightly before beginning to vigorously dig a hole in the cellar wall with its sharp claws.

Meanwhile, the soldiers stormed into the inn, roughly driving all the guests and staff outside to an open area, where they were all tied up. They then divided into several groups and conducted a thorough search of each room.

Before long, a soldier ran up to the leader and reported, "Sir, we have not found any trace of Sun Kang."

The tour leader frowned, his face ashen. He took out a scroll from his robes, slowly unfurled it, and on it was a portrait of Sun Kang. Then, he walked up to the innkeeper, held the portrait up to his eyes, and asked sternly, "Have you seen this man before?"

The shopkeeper nodded nervously and replied, "Sir, yes, he came back this morning, but I haven't seen him go out since."

The team leader snorted coldly and waved his hand, saying, "Keep searching! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground and turn the place upside down, find him!"

While the soldiers were frantically searching everywhere, Wu Feilong had already successfully escaped the encirclement through the tunnel dug by the pangolin. After emerging from the tunnel, he took a deep breath, then used his Lightning Step technique, transforming into a bolt of lightning and instantly disappearing from the vicinity of the inn.

Shortly after he left, the soldiers also discovered the cellar, and that's how they found the tunnel.

"Sir, we suspect that Sun Kang escaped through the tunnel."

"Search the entire city."

With a grim expression, Wu Feilong arrived at the remote outskirts of the city. After a thorough search, he finally discovered a hidden cave. However, the operation ended in utter failure; not only did it fail to achieve its intended objective, but it also inadvertently revealed his whereabouts. At this moment, his heart was heavy, but a bold conjecture suddenly flashed through his mind, prompting him to decide that he had to verify it.

He carefully took out a swift-winged bird from his robes; the bird's feathers were bright, and its eyes were lively. Wu Feilong quickly took out paper and pen and scribbled a short but important letter. Then, he tied the letter to the swift-winged bird's leg and whispered, "Make sure this letter reaches Zhang Hao!" With that, he released the bird. Watching the bird disappear into the horizon, Wu Feilong turned and walked towards the long-abandoned temple in the suburbs.
