Xu Siyi, Guo Yushan, Dong Ziming and others all changed their colors.
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "With the Canglong Pearl here, what kind of poison can't be cured?"
A green light from the Azure Dragon Pearl enveloped everyone and detoxified them.
"ah?"
Seeing that everyone was fine, Hu Xuening rolled her eyes and turned around to leave.
"run?"
The Star Sea Chart flew out of Lin Xiaodong's hand, rose in the air, and shined a beam of light at Hu Xuening.
"Ouch!——" A fox screamed, and Hu Xuening was staggered by the light. A red light glowed all over her body, revealing her true form. It turned out to be a red fire fox.
"Keep alive!"
Guo Yushan raised his chest and stared at Hu Xuening.
But it was too late. Lin Xiaodong pointed his hand, and the Star Sea Map fell down, and Hu Xuening was put into it. The scroll was closed and opened again, but it was already burned to ashes.
"Catch them alive! We can take them back for interrogation!"
Guo Yushan was so anxious that he slapped his thigh.
"Uh...it doesn't matter, Mr. Guo, we arrested so many people last night, and they will eventually be found out through interrogation slowly."
Xu Siyi said with relief.
"This is a spiritual beast with great magical power. It might not be safe to capture it and hand it over to the city lord for interrogation."
Putting away the Star Sea Map, Lin Xiaodong turned to explain to Guo Yushan.
Guo Yushan nodded and pulled the reins: "Fortunately, the trouble has been solved. Let's go back."
After taking a look around, Lin Xiaodong was worried and went back with everyone.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiaodong went to say goodbye to Xu Siyi and knocked on the door of her room.
"Master Lin!"
When she opened the door and saw Lin Xiaodong, Xu Siyi couldn't stop smiling.
"Miss Xu, the case has been settled. There is nothing to do with me here, so I will go back first."
Lin Xiaodong cupped his hands.
Hearing Lin Xiaodong say he was leaving, Xu Siyi became anxious. She puffed up her chest, widened her eyes, and raised her voice: "Young master, you are leaving in such a hurry?
The case hasn't been tried yet, why don't you stay to hear the outcome?"
"If the spiritual beast is eliminated, the chickens in the city will be safe. Isn't that why I came here?"
Lin Xiaodong smiled.
"I asked the young master to come, actually..." Xu Siyi lowered her head and her face turned red.
Lin Xiaodong knew very well why Xu Siyi asked him to come, so he cupped his hands and said, "Take care, girl.
It's also fun to solve cases with Si Tianjian. If there is another case like this in the future, remember to call me!"
"sure!"
Xu Siyi raised her head, smiled broadly, and nodded heavily.
Lin Xiaodong said goodbye to Guo Yushan again and left the guesthouse alone.
However, after leaving the guest house, Lin Xiaodong did not go to the inn. Instead, he turned around and left the city through the east gate, heading to the place where he caught the fox last night.
When it was almost noon, Lin Xiaodong returned to the place where he captured Hu Xuening. The traces of the battle last night, including the footprints and horse hooves, were still there.
After looking around and making some calculations, Lin Xiaodong chose a direction and walked into the dense forest.
Not far away, I saw a tent in a clearing in the forest and an extinguished fire next to it.
Lin Xiaodong held his breath, tiptoed, walked outside the tent, and quietly opened the curtain.
There was no one in the tent. Lin Xiaodong put down the curtain and turned his head. His neck felt cold. When he lowered his head, he saw a flash of cold light and saw that the sword had been placed on his neck.
"Master Lin?"
The man holding the sword saw Lin Xiaodong's appearance clearly and stuck his head out in shock.
Lin Xiaodong looked up, saw the face clearly, and stared in surprise: "Miss Zhang Wu?
Come and be safe!"
He retracted his sword and put down the black hood on his head, revealing a head of black hair. It was Zhang Lanyue.
"Miss Zhang Wu said she was going to the south, why did she hide in this deep mountain and old forest?"
Lin Xiaodong asked.
"Did you get rid of the vixen?"
Wrapping her cloak tightly around her body, Zhang Lanyue looked in the direction Lin Xiaodong came from.
"Is she hunting you?"
Lin Xiaodong crossed his arms.
Zhang Lanyue's eyes turned red. She sat down on the stone next to the fire and swallowed slightly: "Brother Cui, Brother Hou, Sister Wang, and Sister Liu were all killed by her. I am the only one left..."
Sitting down opposite Zhang Lanyue, Lin Xiaodong sighed and said softly: "The vixen is dead, and her accomplices were also arrested."
"So what, they will send more people, and I will be left alone."
After wiping her tears, Zhang Lanyue blocked her nose and said gloomily.
Lin Xiaodong looked around and said: "If Vixen's accomplices are caught, something will always come out of their mouths. This place is no longer safe. Let's go."
"But where can I go?"
Zhang Lanyue looked at Lin Xiaodong with red eyes and tears in her eyes.
After lowering his head and blinking and thinking for a while, Lin Xiaodong raised his head and already had an idea, saying: "There is no place for you in the territory of the Demon Witch Tribe or the Human Tribe. The world is so big, there is probably only one place for Miss Zhang Wu to go."
"That's the sea."
"maritime?"
Zhang Lanyue was puzzled.
"The Shark tribe's territory is dotted with islands. If someone is chasing you, you can just get on the boat and leave. In front of the sea, no matter how many people are on the other side, everyone is fair."
Lin Xiaodong spread his hands.
Zhang Lanyue lowered her head, thought seriously for a long time, and nodded: "Okay, then I will go to sea."
"This trip is dangerous. If Miss Zhang Wu doesn't mind it, she can go with Lin."
Lin Xiaodong stood up and cupped his hands.
"Why did you help me?"
Zhang Lanyue asked, holding her thighs and sitting on the stone.
"The dear friend I mentioned before risked his life to save me, so I should do something for him."
Looking at the woodland ahead, Lin Xiaodong's eyes lost focus.
"What is the name of your best friend?
Maybe you and I are old acquaintances."
Zhang Lanyue also stood up.
"It's called Cai Cai, and it's a sparrow."
Lin Xiaodong lowered his head.
Zhang Lanyue shook her head, her eyes seemed to be looking to a very far away place, and she said blankly: "It is not a sparrow. We, the Yaowu Clan, call it the Sun Bird. The immortal fire it breathes in its mouth is a symbol of imperial power."
"Miss Zhang Wu, do you know this dear friend of mine?"
"Mr. Lin, this dear friend of yours and I should be half-brothers."
Tears fell from the corners of Zhang Lanyue's eyes.
"It's just that I have been taken out of the palace since I was a child. I narrowly escaped death and wandered around in human territory. I have never seen it."
"It never mentioned these things to me."
Lin Xiaodong lowered his head.
"Cai Cai must be living in a foreign land like me, so there is no need to mention the past."
"If Miss Zhang Wu is a descendant of the royal family, why doesn't she go back and inherit the throne?"
Lin Xiaodong pretended not to care, asked a pointed question, and squinted his eyes to quietly observe Zhang Lanyue's expression.
When asked by Lin Xiaodong, Zhang Lanyue looked sad and lowered her head: "I grew up in the human race since I was a child. The people who followed me were killed and injured. Now I am even more alone. Even if I go back, who will
support me?
Not to mention that if you go back, you will be trapped in a trap."
"You are a descendant of the royal family, and it is only natural that you inherit the position of head of the country. You will definitely raise your arms and respond to the call."
Staring sideways at Zhang Lanyue, Lin Xiaodong continued to test.
