After hearing Lin Xiaodong's answer, Qian Jue instead of going to get him a map as usual, she frowned slightly.
In her impression, Yunmeng Forest is not a good place, nor is it a holy land for cultivation. Instead, it is full of dangers.
Even with a map to guide you, it's difficult to get back intact.
What's more, she recently received news that the leader of Caojiazhai has said that as long as Lin Xiaodong dares to step out of the city, his head will be taken to avenge his son.
Therefore, when Lin Xiaodong went to Yunmeng Forest, he had to face not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters.
She frowned, her eyes full of worry, and asked, "Do you have to leave the city?"
Lin Xiaodong glanced at Lailai, who was dying on his shoulder and seemed likely to lose his life at any time. He nodded firmly: "We must leave the city."
"But... the leader of the Cao Family Village has already set his sights on you. There are several big families and colleges in the city, and they don't dare to mess around. But outside the city, it's their world, and you can do whatever they want to do with you.
you."
Lin Xiaodong really didn't know about the situation Qianjue mentioned, and he was also slightly surprised in his heart.
Being busy with various things recently, he once forgot that he still had such a grudge outside the city.
But, he was just surprised.
Then his attitude remained firm and unswerving, with persistence in his eyes.
"I have to get out of town."
He said again, and then informed Qian Jue of Lai Lai's situation.
After hearing this, the latter fell silent immediately.
What Lin Xiaodong did was exactly why Qianjue fell in love with him.
However, this time is really unusual. The risk of leaving the city is too high and you may die at any time.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be careful. What's more, my current strength is far from what it used to be. I am at the third level of the Divine Harmony Stage. Even if I meet someone from Cao's Village, I will not be in vain."
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said that he wanted to use this method to dispel Qianjue's doubts.
However, although the goal was achieved, it seemed that it was not completely achieved.
Qian Jue bit her red lips, and then opened her teeth slightly.
"I don't have to stop you from leaving the city, but you must take me with you!"
Her tone was extremely firm, and it was obvious that she was not out of temper.
Lin Xiaodong's expression froze, and he felt extremely dizzy for a moment.
He muttered softly, and then spoke quietly after a long time.
"No! This trip is full of dangers and misfortunes. I can't guarantee my own safety. If I take you with me, I will only put you in danger.
no."
"I don't care. Either you take me there, or I follow you secretly."
Qian Jue curled her lips and looked angry, but there was a hint of cunning in her smart eyes.
Lin Xiaodong was helpless. Since ancient times, beauty has always been kind to him. Qianjue treated him like this. He was unwilling to put her in danger. If there was even the slightest mistake, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
But with Qian Jue's persistence, Lin Xiaodong had to consider that if Qian Jue secretly followed him out and encountered danger where he couldn't see it, he would regret it too.
Qian Jue's unreasonable words immediately put him in a dilemma.
Sensing Lin Xiaodong's wavering, Qian Jue spoke again, with a hint of coquettishness.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself. As the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, I have many treasures in my hands to protect myself. I will definitely be able to protect myself."
When it came to this, Lin Xiaodong couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
I had no choice but to nod and agree with difficulty.
"You can come with me, but you must obey me in everything, and you are not allowed to make your own decisions."
Lin Xiaodong stated his conditions.
Qian Jue naturally agreed without hesitation.
Then, she happily went behind the counter and took out the map of Yunmeng Forest for Lin Xiaodong.
After some further preparations, the two prepared a lot of self-defense items and disguised themselves before leaving the city.
If Lin Xiaodong was alone, there would be no need for such trouble.
But now that he has Qian Jue with him, he has to think twice before making any decision until it is safe.
A few hundred meters outside the city is Yunmeng Forest.
Although Lin Xiaodong had gone through it a lot, he still did not dare to take it lightly, and was even more careful than last time.
First of all, Qianyan was there to lead the way last time, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.
Secondly, even with Qian Jue by his side, he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
Moreover, the leader of the Cao Family Village is still watching covetously in secret. Although both of them are in disguise, there is no guarantee that they will not be recognized.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and smooth, and no accidents occurred.
Following the map, the two quickly went deep into Yunmeng Forest.
In the evening, we happened to come to a small village.
After a day's journey, the two decided to take a rest in the village.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I met an auntie, about forty or fifty years old, with gray hair faintly visible.
Lin Xiaodong was about to speak when he saw a pretty figure rushing out from one side.
Qian Jue quickly came to the aunt, showed a kind smile, and asked softly: "Aunt, are you a local?"
The aunt looked at the two of them meeting each other, and was a little wary at first.
But Qianjue's gentle smile made her heart melt.
Then he smiled and said, "Yes, looking at how you are dressed, you must have been traveling all day, right?"
There was a bit of kindness in her eyes. Calculating her age, her daughter was as old as Qian Jue. If... thinking of this, a flash of regret flashed in her eyes.
However, this fleeting emotion was captured by Qian Jue.
As the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion, although she does not receive guests very much now, her vision has not deteriorated because of this.
She was keenly aware that her aunt was a person with a story, but she did not make it known.
Because the emotion that the aunt showed just now was regret.
It was too inappropriate for her to bring it up at this moment.
Qian Jue, who has a clear mind, thought through these things almost instantly.
She reached out to hold her aunt's arm and said with a smile: "Auntie, you have really good eyesight. We have been traveling all day and are planning to find a family to stay in the village.
Do you have any recommendations?”
The aunt patted Qian Jue's catkin, her eyes full of kindness.
"There is no need to go to someone else's house. There is a room available at my aunt's house, as long as you don't dislike it."
She looked at Qian Jue as if she were seeing her daughter, and without any hesitation, she took Qian Jue to Zhang's home.
"How could it be possible? It's too late for us to thank you."
Qian Jue said softly.
The funny aunt was cheerful and kind.
When the two of them went to their aunt's home, Qianjue took the time to turn around and wink at Lin Xiaodong, as if asking for credit.
My aunt's house is right at the entrance of the village, and it's only two steps away.
After receiving Qian Jue and Lin Xiaodong, she got up and went to clean up the house.
At this time, Lin Xiaodong began to take stock of the situation at his aunt's home.
The paintings on the walls are quite old, but the aunt seems to have taken good care of them and they are very clean and spotless.
