After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 472 Oh, isn't this the Palace Master?

Luo Hanfeng glared at Xie Xing, "You're quite capable."

"I'm not the one who's capable," Xie Xing muttered.

It's all foggy now, so it's not easy to find people.

Xie Xing could only slowly follow behind Luo Hanfeng.

She discovered that following Luo Hanfeng seemed to have avoided triggering any mechanisms, and the journey was uneventful.

She asked, "We don't seem to have encountered any traps or mechanisms along the way. Do you know where they are?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hanfeng turned around and glanced at Xie Xing.

He chuckled and said, "How could I not know? I've been to this killing formation more than once, and I know it like the back of my hand."

"If you hadn't escaped this killing formation, you wouldn't be where I am today."

Xie Xing was stunned.

Then the system added: "[When Luo Hanfeng was a child, his master often threw him into this killing formation.]"

[They barely escaped with their lives.]

Xie Xing couldn't help but sigh.

From this perspective, Luo Hanfeng's childhood was indeed tragic.

Perhaps his lack of a childhood is what led him to be the way he is today.

However, she wasn't the one who caused Luo Hanfeng's miserable childhood. Xie Xing only sighed when she learned about Luo Hanfeng's childhood, but it really made her heart ache.

I'm sorry, I really can't relate to it.

Even if Luo Hanfeng could kill a hundred of hers by himself now, he should still feel sorry for himself.

Luo Hanfeng turned to look at Xie Xing.

She showed no expression other than a sigh.

Luo Hanfeng is angry.

He sneered, "I'm not saying this so you'll feel sorry for me."

Xie Xing was baffled: "I didn't feel sorry for you either."

If the timing weren't so bad, she would have made a few sarcastic remarks.

but--

Xie Xing paused for a moment, then said, "This kind of love, gained by playing the victim to gain sympathy, is never true love."

This tactic was completely ineffective against Xie Xing.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Hanfeng pinched her cheeks and said coldly, "I'm not trying to play the victim."

Xie Xing's lips were pursed from being pinched. She was about to speak when she saw several figures vaguely appearing in the thick fog behind Luo Hanfeng.

Her eyes lit up: "There's someone behind you."

Seeing this, Luo Hanfeng turned around to look.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xie Xing broke free from Luo Hanfeng's restraint and ran towards the dark figure.

Only a few people entered this killing formation. Besides Xie Xing, Jun Lanjin, and Luo Hanfeng, the remaining people were Hua An and Qi Yu.

Therefore, whoever the dark figure in the thick fog is, it is Xie Xing's side.

On the other side of the thick fog, Qi Yu could only vaguely see two figures not far away, and he became somewhat wary.

After all, this is a killing formation; what if the people inside are there to kill them?

Qi Yu gripped the dagger in his hand tightly. Seeing the dark figure running towards them, his eyes flashed with ferocity.

The dark figure ran faster and faster...

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Qi Yu, Qi Yu didn't think twice, turned around and ran away.

Xie Xing watched as the dark figure receded further and further away from her, her expression somewhat bewildered.

Why does the person run faster the more she crosses the road?

Thinking this, Xie Xingqing cleared his throat and quickly shouted, "Don't run away! Don't run away! Wait for me!"

The sound was particularly noticeable in this quiet space.

Luo Hanfeng came rushing up from behind, almost grabbing Xie Xing's collar in the blink of an eye.

Xie Xing ducked and slid to avoid Luo Hanfeng's hand.

Just as she was about to continue running forward, her foot suddenly slipped and she fell down.

It's a landslide!

Damn!

The poisonous fog was so thick that Xie Xing couldn't see the path beneath his feet, and Luo Hanfeng was chasing after him.

Caught off guard by the sudden descent, Xie Xing rolled almost into a ball as he hurtled downwards.

She quickly caught up with the running shadowy figure ahead.

Qi Yu was caught off guard and bumped right into Xie Xing.

"Ouch!" Qi Yu cried out in pain, falling forward and landing face-first in the dirt.

With Qi Yu there, Xie Xing stopped rolling around and rolled onto Qi Yu's body. Their foreheads collided, and they immediately saw stars.

"Miss?" Qi Yu regained his senses and finally saw Xie Xing.

His pupils dilated in shock, and he sat up abruptly, staring at Xie Xing in disbelief: "Miss, how did you get into this killing formation?"

Xie Xing covered his forehead, feeling as if three stars were spinning above his head.

After spinning around for a while, Xie Xing finally regained consciousness. She fell on her bottom on the ground and said, "It's a long story, but now is not the time to talk about it. We need to run! Someone is chasing us!"

"Who?"

Qi Yu glanced curiously at what was behind Xie Xing.

Nothing.

Seeing his movement, Xie Xing turned around.

Looking behind him, all he saw was a vast expanse of white; there was no sign of Luo Hanfeng.

Qi Yu rubbed his forehead, swayed as he sat up from the ground, and said, "There are many traps here. With every step we take, the bamboo forest changes."

"Hua An and I were only half a step apart, and when I turned around, I couldn't see him anymore."

"I originally wanted to use the Gu worms to find his location, but here, the Gu worms just keep flying around and then disappear from sight."

"I wonder if they were killed by a trap."

Qi Yu sighed.

Xie Xing carefully examined Qi Yu's appearance. Upon closer inspection, apart from his temperament being different from the boy Xie Mingzhu had seen outside, his eyebrows and eyes were almost identical.

Helpless, Xie Xing could only grab a handful of dirty mud from the ground and then smear it on Qi Yu's face.

Qi Yu was even more bewildered;

"Miss, what are you doing?"

Xie Xing didn't hide anything and said directly, "I just saw someone outside who looks exactly like you."

Qi Yu was taken aback: "Someone who looks exactly like me?"

Xie Xing nodded: "You said earlier that you were the one who was abandoned among the twins. I think that one must be your brother."

"We both come from the Miao region."

Qi Yu's expression froze.

His brother.

Qi Yu pursed his lips.

No wonder he couldn't control his Gu before; it turns out it was because Ye Tai came.

He lowered his head.

Then Xie Xing said, "I'm afraid your identity will be exposed, so I'm using this method to conceal your appearance."

"Thank you, Miss." Qi Yu smiled, her eyes crinkling.

However, he was quite curious as to why Ye Tai would be here.

The Miao holy son who can cultivate the Hundred Poison Gu and the Golden Silkworm Gu is extremely precious, and the clan will never allow the Miao holy son to go out and take risks.

If something unfortunate happens, then all the hard work of the past years will be in vain.

Xie Xing covered Qi Yu's face completely before feeling relieved. "Let's go, let's go find the Prince and Hua An first."

Hopefully, I'll be lucky and not run into Luo Hanfeng again.

She was lucky to get rid of Luo Hanfeng, but on the other side, Luo Hanfeng ran into Jun Lanjin.

The two of them bumped into each other so naturally.

Jun Lanjin saw Luo Hanfeng and was not surprised. He even raised an eyebrow and waved to Luo Hanfeng, "Oh, isn't this our Palace Master?"

"What a coincidence."
