Xue Ling flew in front of Huanhuan and reached out to hug her.

But Xue Hui wouldn’t let go. She raised her chin. “Go take care of the back. I’ll take Huanhuan to Bai Di.”

Xue Ling glanced at the feather patrol team flying over and clicked his tongue impatiently. “Why are these guys following us like flies?!”

Xue Hui flew out of the city with Huanhuan in his arms. Meanwhile, Xue Ling stayed where he was to face the feather patrol.

The leader of the feather beasts immediately stopped in midair when he saw Xue Ling.

He stared at Xue Ling warily. “I didn’t expect the dignified Elder Xue Ling to be in cahoots with a murderer!”

“Murderer?” Xue Ling smiled. “Who are you talking about?”

“Of course, the female who ran away just now!”

“You actually called her a murderer? Looks like you’ve never seen what a real murderer looks like…” Before he could finish his sentence, Xue Ling suddenly transformed into a condor and flew out like an arrow.

The leader’s eyes widened. The shadow of the condor in his eyes quickly enlarged, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of him!

His eyes were blinded, and red blood instantly covered the entire world.

Flames burned around him, and the feathers on his wings quickly turned to ashes. It hurt so much that he fell quickly and rolled around on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.

But before he could put out the fire, the condor swooped down and broke his neck.

Before he died, he heard Xue Ling say coldly,

“See? This is the face of a real murderer.”

…

Xue Hui carried Huanhuan out of the city and landed on a small hill.

As soon as they landed, Huanhuan saw Bai Di. She ran over and threw herself into his arms.

“Bai Di!”

Bai Di picked her up and kissed her forehead lovingly. “I’ve let you suffer these past few days.”

Huanhuan didn’t feel aggrieved, but when she heard Bai Di’s voice, she felt especially so. She leaned into his arms and pouted. “I almost died several times. I was so afraid I’d never see you again.”

Bai Di hugged her tighter. “It’s my fault. I couldn’t protect you. I let you suffer for nothing.”

“Then you have to watch me closely from now on. Don’t let me separate from you.”

“Okay, I promise.”

She raised her head and kissed him twice on the cheek. When he lowered his head to kiss her, she immediately hid in his arms and smiled like a kitten who had stolen a fish.

Bai Di looked at her indulgently. “Naughty.”

Huanhuan hugged his neck and stuck out her tongue.

Xue Hui coughed lightly. “Although I know you two can’t help it after being apart for so long, I’m still a living person. You have to pay some attention to me, right?”

Bai Di looked at her and thanked her seriously. “Thank you for helping Huanhuan a lot. I’ll remember this favor, and I’ll definitely repay you in the future.”

“Huanhuan is not only your mate but also a member of the Divine Wood clan. It’s only natural for me to take care of her. I don’t need you to repay this favor.” Xue Hui paused before continuing, “If you insist on repaying this favor, think of a way to help Xuan Wei. He’s staying in the city alone to cover our retreat. I’m worried that he won’t be able to handle it.”

Huanhuan quickly said, “Yes, yes. Hurry up and help Xuan Wei. Don’t let him stay in the city alone!”

Xuan Wei was one of the 12 divine guards, but he saved Huanhuan, who should have been burned at the stake. To the temple, Xuan Wei’s actions were equivalent to betrayal.

The temple had always been extremely ruthless in dealing with traitors.

Bai Di said, “When Xue Ling comes back, I’ll help Xuan Wei.”

He was worried about Huanhuan and the two females staying here. There was no beast protecting them.

Before long, Xue Ling flew back with a b.l.o.o.d.y stench.

He landed firmly on the ground and pulled Huanhuan from Bai Di’s arms without a word. He nuzzled her cheek and sighed in satisfaction. “I finally found you.”

For once, Huanhuan did not push him away. Instead, she kissed his cheek.

Bai Di said to Xue Ling, “Stay here and protect the two of them. I’ll go to the city to find Xuan Wei.”

Xue Ling said, “Don’t go. When I left the City of 10,000 Beasts just now, I saw that the entire city had been cordoned off, especially the inner city. All the exits are sealed. You can’t enter at all.”

Huanhuan immediately panicked. “But Xuan Wei is still in the city!”

“I’m afraid he’s dead.”

“How…” Huanhuan’s eyes turned red. “He said he would find a way to protect himself. He should be fine!”

“He was just coaxing you. He probably just wanted to rea.s.sure you.”

Xue Hui sighed. “I hope they can spare Xuan Wei’s life. When I return to the Divine Wood City, I’ll look for the high priest to plead for mercy. I should be able to save him.”

Xue Ling said, “The guards will be out of the city soon to search for Huanhuan. It’s not safe here. Let’s go.”

Huanhuan quickly said, “But Xuan Wei…”

Bai Di said, “I understand that you’re worried about his safety, but there’s no point in us staying here. Let’s get out of here and find a safe place before we discuss saving him.”

Huanhuan looked at his face and remembered the scene when Xuan Wei brought her down the mountain. She couldn’t help but say, “Do you know that Xuan Wei is your…”

“He’s my what?”

Huanhuan suddenly remembered that she had promised Xuan Wei to keep it a secret. She could only swallow the second half of her sentence with difficulty. “Nothing.”

Xue Hui said, “Let’s not waste any more time. Let’s go.”

Xue Ling carried Huanhuan into the sky, followed by Xue Hui. Bai Di transformed into a white tiger and ran below.

Huanhuan stuck her head out of Xue Ling’s arms and looked back at the City of 10,000 Beasts, silently praying for Xuan Wei.

She hoped he was safe.

The four of them rushed for a long time and made sure that there were no more pursuers behind them. Only then did they choose to stop and rest near a stream.

Huanhuan was still worried about Xuan Wei’s safety. Her lips were pursed tightly, and she had no appet.i.te even for her favorite snacks.

Bai Di comforted her. “Eat first. Don’t starve yourself. Xue Hui has found a way to get information.”

Before long, Xue Hui found out about Xuan Wei’s whereabouts through her connections with the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce.

After Xuan Wei fought with Shuang Jing, he was captured by the other two divine guards.

He had all his bones broken and was hanging on the gate of the inner city of the City of 10,000 Beasts.

The temple had said that if Lin Huanhuan did not return, Xuan Wei would continue to be hung on the city wall. He would be exposed to the wind and sun, hungry and cold. His corpse would be pecked by crows after he died.

Huanhuan’s face turned pale after hearing this. She quickly said, “I’ll go back now. I’ll get them to let Xuan Wei go!”

Xue Ling said, “It’s a trap. You can’t go!”

“But that’s Xuan Wei! He’s Bai Di’s brother. I can’t just watch him die!”

Huanhuan shouted out the words she had been suppressing in her heart.

The other three were stunned.

Xue Ling and Xue Hui looked at Bai Di involuntarily.

Bai Di stared at Huanhuan. “How do you know he must be my brother?”

Since things had already come to this, there was no point in hiding it anymore. Huanhuan decided to tell him the truth.
