After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Most of the food on the table was consumed by Bu Suantian and the girl in black robes.

Especially Bu Suantian, who looks quite petite, ate with great relish during the meal. I guess she probably doesn't have the chance to eat such delicious dishes in the deep mountains.

As for the female cultivator who joined halfway through, just like when she first arrived, after talking with Xiao Yu, she ate a few bites and was full, so she left early.

At this point, the meal was finished, and the matter was resolved.

Naturally, they headed back home and went their separate ways.

and many more……

Everyone goes back to their homes!

At this moment, Xiao Yu seemed to wake from a dream and put his gaze away from the feather in his hand.

In other words, he and Tie Yanran will soon be spending time together in a room in private?

He looked up and saw the masked figure walking towards him.

The mask was still menacing, but the outward-curling corners of his mouth seemed to be brimming with a smile.

Chapter 106, A Letter from Demon Gathering Island

"Good night, Young Master Tie. Ye Ba is in your care now. Remember to keep an eye on him for me. If he does anything out of line, you can deal with him as you see fit. Don't worry about me..."

To prevent Xiao Yu from escaping halfway and going to a brothel, Bu Suantian escorted him all the way, successfully welding the car door shut so that he could go directly to the masked figure's room, making it impossible for him to get out of the car.

His remarks even made Xiao Yu, who had just entered the room, stumble.

My goodness!

Outside the door, Bu Suantian saw Xiao Yuzhen enter the masked figure's room on the second floor of the inn before he left with the girl in black robes.

The departing figure seemed carefree, unaware that her actions were tantamount to putting a fine piece of pork belly in the same cage as a hungry wolf, and even tying it up with a rope to prevent it from running away, cooking it, and then bringing it to its mouth.

The masked figure remained silent, merely waving as she watched them depart. She had a rather positive impression of the blue-haired girl.

Considering how eager she was to shove Xiao Yu into her room...

After Bu Suantian and the black-robed girl disappeared into the distance, the masked figure turned around and closed the door to the room.

Boom!

The door rubbed against the frame, followed by a crisp sound.

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow and involuntarily took a few steps back, hiding behind a table in the room.

Without a doubt, that was the sound of the door being locked.

It's late at night, and there are two grown men sleeping together... is it really necessary to lock the door?

Closing and locking doors has always been a way to prevent people inside from escaping; the saying "closing the door to beat the dog, catching a turtle in a jar" perfectly describes this.

Without a doubt, the masked figure was going to do that kind of thing to Xiao Yu, and then... and then that.

In the end, Xiao Yu cried out to heaven in vain, and could only curl up in a corner and shed tears of humiliation.

The above is what Xiao Yu anticipated after he took the initiative to admit his identity and was beaten up by Tie Yanran.

hiss!

It would have been better if he hadn't thought about it. But once he started thinking about it, Xiao Yu suddenly found the masked figure in front of him terrifying.

The reputation of the Jade-Faced Madman on the Demon Gathering Island is well-deserved. He is ruthless and cruel, and none of the criminals captured on the island have ever been mentally sound.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu shuddered. He suddenly realized that admitting he was Xiao Yu was not so simple. What if Tie Yanran still held a grudge against what he did when he left the island?

Wouldn't that mean he's finished?

He decided to make a last-ditch effort. As long as he insisted that he was not Xiao Yu, Tie Yanran couldn't do anything to him, at least not forcefully or use torture to extract a confession.

Seeing the masked figure slowly and unhurriedly walking towards him, Xiao Yu tensed up, ready for anything.

The dim sunlight shone on her, instantly casting deep, ravine-like shadows on her狰狞 mask.

She looked up, and across the table, her alluring and lively eyes met Xiao Yu's from afar.

The two looked at each other, as if time had frozen at that moment.

The masked figure blinked as it looked at Xiao Yu, whose expression was resolute and whose teeth were clenched.

She raised her hand and stretched it out. Xiao Yu's body tensed up, thinking that she was going to pull out the blade that had been used to cut him at the Iron Mansion last time.

Unexpectedly, the masked figure simply shook his wrist slightly, then reached into his robes and pulled out something that looked like a letter.

For a moment, Xiao Yu, who was staring intently at her, felt like his cerebellum was about to shrink.

what is this?

A letter of surrender...

Once he realized what was happening, Xiao Yu gave a disdainful smile, even displaying the same expression as Tom on his face.

Hilarious! Xiao Yu is a man of unyielding integrity; how could he possibly be subdued by a mere piece of paper?

The masked figure merely held the flimsy letter in her hand… a letter brimming with longing, glanced at Xiao Yu, and sighed softly. Instead of speaking through her masked, somber voice, she spoke in her own voice:

"This is a letter from Bai Yan that he asked me to bring to you when I left the island."

swoosh~

A blur flashed by, and the letter in my hand was gone.

The masked figure... it must be Tie Yanran. She hadn't even seen Xiao Yu's movements clearly. Just a second ago he was hiding behind a table far away from her, and the next second he was right in front of her, looking at the letter in his hand with excitement.

Teleport?

When did Xiao Yu learn this skill? I didn't see him use it when I was chasing him.

Coming to her senses, Tie Yanran looked at Xiao Yu in front of her with a complicated expression. Sure enough... the idea given by that three-tailed monstrous fox was indeed correct.

In a daze, the fox's voice rang in her ears again:

"How do you expect to find Xiao Yu if you ask around? It's not that simple... As long as you produce something related to Bai Yan, and he hears a little bit about it, no matter what happens, he'll appear in front of you immediately."

It seems that, as it said, Bai Yan is very important to him!

Thinking of this, a trace of loneliness flashed in Tie Yanran's bright eyes, as if she had been outshone by someone in the dark.

Moreover, that person didn't do anything...

Xiao Yu was unaware of Tie Yanran's complex emotions, but at this moment he was extremely excited.

Who cares about that "Jade-Faced Madman"...

Xiao Yan actually wrote him a letter!!!

This is a genuine expression of emotion...

Bai Yan's lack of emotion towards the living dead is a significant improvement.

How could Xiao Yu, who had practically raised him with love and care, not be excited?

At such a historic moment, any hesitation, even for a second, would be a betrayal of his fatherly heart.

A trembling heart, shaky hands.

Xiao Yu carefully opened the letter in his hand and took out the papers inside.

With words written in black and white on white paper, the contents of the letter are vividly clear:

Master... I miss you... I want to go home.

The content is very simple, just one sentence, only six characters.

But Xiao Yu read it over and over again.

"You can tell a lot about a person just by looking at their handwriting"—that's definitely something Xiao Yan would say.

but……

What are those dark, plum blossom-shaped footprints behind them?

Xiao Yu wasn't blinded by excitement; instead, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

The letter was well-written; although brief, it conveyed the intended meaning.

However, right after these three sentences, there were several... what looked like fox footprints.

Is it that fox?

Xiao Yu lowered his head in thought. It seemed to have a close relationship with Bai Yan, so it was probably written under its guidance.

Although he wasn't as excited as he was at the beginning, it was enough as long as Bai Yan had this thought.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu didn't dwell on it too much. He folded the paper, stuffed it back into the envelope, and then put it into his storage bag.

Only then did I relax.

Before I could relax for even a few seconds, a crisp voice came from in front of me:

"Finished reading? Then... it's time for our business to begin, Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu shrank back, then he looked up haltingly at Tie Yanran, who was wearing a mask and whose expression was unreadable. His expression changed, and he suddenly realized what was happening, saying:

"Hey! It's you, Iron Girl. Long time no see. I never expected to meet you here. I was so blind to your greatness. I only recognize you now."

He then lowered his head and coughed a few times:

"Ahem... In that case, men and women should not touch each other. It seems we can't sleep in the same room tonight. What a pity. That little dumpling Bu Suantian is really something, forcing us to be together."

Don't worry about that, I'll give her a good talking-to. It's almost night, and it's getting late, so I won't disturb your sleep any longer. I'll head out now.

After saying that, Xiao Yu turned and walked towards the door.

However, before she could take more than a few steps, Tie Yanran grabbed her shoulder from behind.

Chapter 107, Don't Bite

"Don't go! Your Daoist partner repeatedly told me to keep a close eye on you..."

Tie Yanran spoke in a low, menacing tone, and two points of red light appeared on her ferocious mask, as if she were about to devour someone.
