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

With the registration deadline approaching, and considering his own interest in visiting the secret realm, we had no choice but to include him as well.

He may seem a bit aloof, but there's nothing to worry about. Just the fact that he can use the Righteous Qi Technique is enough to reassure you that he can join the team.

While the Tie family's martial arts techniques may not be world-renowned, their unique characteristics, particularly the wind spirit, are somewhat known.

Only those with a righteous heart can use it; those who are narrow-minded and despicable will suffer a backlash from the technique.

Feng Ling quickened her pace and entered the room, leaving Xiao Yu staring blankly at the open wooden door. After Feng Ling had fully entered the room, he closed the door with a heavy heart.

Although it was hard to believe, what had just been revealed forced him to accept the fact that Tie Yanran had already left Jumo Island.

Xiao Yu couldn't understand...

After all, the area outside Demon Gathering Island is riddled with strange Dao traces; how could Tie Yanran possibly escape?!

Xiao Yu thought to himself as if he had grasped at the last straw, in a desperate struggle.

Correct!

How could she possibly come out!

Maybe it's just a coincidence that they have the same name, just the same surname. The world is a big place, and anything is possible. It's not impossible for people to have the same mask.

But... suddenly, he remembered the rumors about the Iron Mansion on the Demon Gathering Island, and his mood sank again.

Legend has it that he was different from others who were accidentally swept into the Demon-Gathering Island.

The Tie couple barged in on their own initiative, their purpose being to capture a fugitive who had been on the run.

The fugitive was accidentally swept into the Demon Island during his escape, but miraculously survived, avoiding being torn apart by the ocean currents, and landed on the Demon Island.

This caused quite a stir at the time, and after a few months, those who were trying to capture him all thought he had disappeared or died.

After all, there had always been some bad rumors circulating about this sea area before, not to mention that this sea area is full of strange Dao traces, and it is impossible for cultivators to survive in it.

However, after observing the area for several months, Tie Yanran's father noticed something amiss and vaguely discovered the existence of Jumo Island.

He didn't make a fuss but called his wife, and the two of them stepped inside together, ready to see what was going on.

It turned out they succeeded, but at the cost of Tie Yanran's father being seriously injured.

They weren't just lucky to be swept into Demon Gathering Island; they forced their way in through the strange Dao traces. The Dao traces had a powerful scouring force, and if it weren't for their special cultivation techniques and the fact that Tie Yanran's mother possessed a unique secret art, the Tie couple would have almost perished on the way under the massive amount of strange Dao traces. It's said that Tie Yanran's father's injuries haven't fully healed yet.

Ultimately, due to their injuries, it seemed unlikely that they could replicate their actions upon entering the island and leave. Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere on the island, the couple also gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

Instead, she established the Demon Suppression Peak on the island, managed the island's order, and incidentally gave birth to two children.

Then, Xiao Yu descended from the sky and drifted on the Chaotic Forbidden Sea for three days and three nights before being overturned and swept in by a wave.

In short, Xiao Yu heard about this from someone else, and the details might not match up perfectly, but the general idea was correct. At the time, it seemed quite suspicious, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now it seems that if that's the case, Tie Yanran, who inherited her father's mantle, really does have the ability to escape from Jumo Island.

Even so, with Tie Yanran's cultivation level and abilities, it's not certain that she'll be able to get out of the island!

She was only at the Golden Core stage. Although the lower her cultivation level, the less effective the alien Dao traces in the Chaotic Forbidden Sea would be, at a low cultivation level, the amount of spiritual energy stored in her dantian wouldn't be enough to support her leaving the sea.

After all, the Chaotic Sea is not stable. The seawater that is constantly churning on the surface can weigh as much as ten thousand pounds. How can a person with a low cultivation level resist it?

So... how could Tie Yanran have come out?!

Thinking this, Xiao Yu pulled out a chair and sat down next to the masked figure.

The sound coming from beside him made the figure that Feng Ling called Brother Tie turn his head to look at Xiao Yu.

Beneath the mask, a pair of alluring and lively eyes narrowed.

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Diviner Who "Plays the Fool to Eat the Tiger"

After Feng Ling and the other person entered.

After a long while, the girl in black robes finally arrived and pushed open the door.

Before this, Xiao Yu had been carefully observing the masked figure.

The more you look at the comparison of body shapes and postures, the more chill you feel.

My goodness, it's so similar! It's not just similar, it's practically identical.

Damn it! This is outrageous! How did Tie Yanran get out of Jumo Island? Just because I called her "Iron Chest"?

Not so!

In any case, we should avoid being alone with her from now on, otherwise, given Tie Yanran's keen senses, she will definitely notice something.

Xiao Yu's heart was being tormented by a thousand alpacas, and the words the woman had said last night resurfaced in his mind.

The old general, covered in flags...

In contrast, the masked figure was also silently observing the man who had been watching him intently ever since he entered the room.

By comparing body shapes and postures, the more I look, the more I feel a sense of incongruity.

It's so similar! It's uncanny. Apart from the face, the more you look at it, the more it resembles that bastard.

The masked figure was inclined to use magic to see if the man before him was that bastard.

However... there are many people around, and since it's our first meeting, it would be offensive for a teammate to use magic to investigate someone's details rashly.

It seems I need to find an opportunity when no one is around to test the waters.

Beneath the mask, his eyes gleamed, but his figure remained hidden as he sat stiffly to the side, carefully observing everything around him.

Everything was unfamiliar to her since she had just left the island, and by being cautious and reserved, she could avoid a lot of trouble.

Everything outside was so complicated. Apart from observing the man next to her, she focused most of her attention on the blue-haired girl in the room.

After all, she was the most powerful cultivator in this room.

"Sister Fengling, here! These are pastries that someone brought over last night. I specially saved some for you."

"Sister? I already told you to call me... Sigh! Never mind, I'll try it."

The pretty young woman raised her finger, intending to correct her, but after looking at the blue-haired girl with watery eyes in front of her, she gave up.

She has never been able to resist pitiful young girls, especially since Bu Suantian in front of her looks a lot like her younger sister.

So, she casually picked up a piece and threw it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up, and as she chewed, she said:

"This is... Golden Silk Dew Cake?"

"Hmm! Sister Fengling, you know about this pastry too? Ye Ba said it's called that, and it tastes really good, very delicious."

Upon hearing this, the girl in blue looked slightly surprised and responded.

After realizing that the wind spirit in front of him had turned into a woman because of his divination error, our little dumpling felt somewhat guilty.

the most important is……

Give her more benefits now, treat her better, and maybe when she finds out that she's the one who turned her into a female fortune teller, she'll consider what you've done and won't seek revenge?!

Hmph... I'm such a genius!

This is what Bu Suantian was planning.

The pretty woman, unaware of the blue-haired girl's intentions, nodded and began to speak eloquently:

"Of course, my mother has a close relationship with Gaoyuezhai, the producer of Golden Silk Dew Cake. She often visited us when I was a child, and I have been eating Golden Silk Dew Cake since I was a child."

Compared to before, now... Gaoyuezhai has a new owner, and the taste isn't as good as it used to be. I still have some authentic Golden Silk Dew Cake left over from before; I'll bring you some to try next time we meet.”

"Okay...okay." The blue-haired girl nodded hesitantly, but after hearing her say that, she suddenly felt that the pastries in her arms didn't smell so good anymore, but her appetite was also aroused.

Just as she was about to take a box of pastries that Xiao Yu had brought back from behind her, the delicate woman's voice came again, causing her to freeze in place.

"Speaking of which, regarding the Golden Silk Dew Cake, a large portion of a batch of pastries destined for the Lungmen Island branch was recently stolen. The cargo ship was sealed intact, showing no signs of tampering, but a significant amount of the goods inside mysteriously disappeared. The method used was truly astounding."

It's said that the stolen pastry boxes all had the Gaoyuezhai brand name printed on them, which isn't found on normally sold pastry boxes. This is probably to prevent these stolen goods from being sold on the market. After all, the price of Golden Silk Dew Cake has been driven up recently, with one piece being comparable to a high-grade spirit stone. Tsk tsk tsk... the newly appointed owner of Gaoyuezhai really knows how to play the game..."

Presumably sensing that the blue-haired girl wanted to get closer to her, the pretty woman thought for a moment, then picked up a topic she had recently heard and started talking about it.

Little did he know that these words would cause the blue-haired girl next to him to break out in a cold sweat and feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

She remembered clearly that the pastry box Xiao Yu brought over last night had large red paint printed on it, making it very conspicuous and impossible not to notice.

Now it's clear why the woman delivered several large boxes of Golden Silk Dew Cakes without a care, given that they belonged to the Thieves' Guild. No wonder she didn't seem distressed at all back then.

Fortunately, the pastries she took out now weren't in that pastry box. Although she didn't steal them, the blue-haired girl still couldn't help but feel scared.

"Hahaha...I see, that thief really is a heinous criminal!"

As she spoke, the blue-haired girl pushed the pastry box behind her back a little further and moved her body to the side.

Feng Ling: ? ? ?

Why does it seem like the fortune teller has become more distant from her after she spoke? Strange…

From beginning to end, the masked figure took in everything.

Unlike the girl in black robes and Xiao Yu and the others, she immediately sensed that Bu Suantian was a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, what puzzled her was that he was clearly already a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Why? She gave me a feeling that she could be easily manipulated, and her threat level was far less than that of the pretty woman beside her.

Is it an illusion...

After pondering for a while, I still couldn't come to any conclusion.

This is probably... the legendary "pretending to be weak to catch a tiger"!

I often heard a certain guy talk about it when I was a kid, but I never thought I would actually see it with my own eyes.

As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator, she perfectly portrayed fear and weakness, making it impossible for her to feel any sense of danger. If it weren't for her special cultivation technique and keen observation, she might have been fooled into thinking that she was just a pretty face with no combat power.

Moreover, she had heard about the disappearance of the pastries that Yuegaozhai had shipped to its Lungmenzhou branch, and now the matter was causing quite a stir in Lungmenzhou.

The masked figure gave a deep look at Bu Suantian, who sat stiffly and upright, to prevent the pastries hidden behind him from being revealed.

Beneath the menacing mask, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in her alluring and lively eyes.

Regardless, the threat level posed by Bu Suantian, this little dumpling, had been raised to its highest in the mind of the masked figure.
