Here, a world shrouded in white mist, milky white fog swirling in the air like clouds, so that with the naked eye, one could only see a mere ten feet in front of them.
Meanwhile, in this world shrouded in mist, in a certain space, the milky white fog suddenly began to ripple, as if a huge rock had been thrown into the once calm water, causing it to surge violently.
The clouds dispersed, and then, a figure completely shrouded in a black robe suddenly appeared in this space.
Initially, the figure in black robes kept his eyes closed, as if waiting for something. After a few breaths, his closed eyes trembled slightly, and then he carefully and slowly opened them.
"Here it is..."
Beneath his black robe, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed deeply as he warily scanned the world around him, a serious expression gradually creeping into his eyes.
Judging from this, it seems I've entered some kind of formation!
"Damn it, I didn't expect to encounter a formation so soon after entering. This ruin is really difficult to navigate!"
With a slightly unpleasant expression, Xiao Yan cursed inwardly. Then, his eyes, which he had just opened, slowly closed again. At the same time, the vast Spiritual Strength between his brows rapidly spread outward, spreading quickly throughout the white, hazy world.
Faced with this situation, an ordinary person would surely set off in the direction they believed was right. However, Xiao Yan did not. Without understanding the layout of the formation, he would rashly set off without knowing the way out, which would only lead him into a deep abyss from which he could not extricate himself. Once he was in that situation, no one could save him.
Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Yan decided to first use his Spiritual Strength to explore the formation. If he could find a way out, that would be even better.
Sure enough, a few minutes after Xiao Yan Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength spread out, a faint aura quickly returned in the direction from which his Spiritual Strength had spread. Almost at the same time, Xiao Yan's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light flashed in his dark eyes. Even the expression on Xiao Yan's pale face recovered somewhat.
"Found it, this is it!"
The moment he opened his eyes, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan let out a joyful shout. This time, without hesitation, he turned around and faced the direction from which the strange aura had come. He lightly stomped his feet on the void beneath his feet, and milky white clouds surged up. Xiao Yan's figure shot out like an arrow piercing the clouds, covering hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had already flown for a quarter of an hour within this space filled with rising clouds and mist.
In the void, Xiao Yan flew forward rapidly, but at some point, his face beneath Xiao Yan black robe began to furrow slightly. At the same time, a sense of doubt gradually rose in Xiao Yan heart.
During the previous exploration, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength had only spread out for a few minutes, but he had already found the exit of this strange formation. However, at this moment, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan had been flying rapidly in that direction for a quarter of an hour, but despite this, he had not encountered the so-called exit of the formation.
"Laugh..."
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's figure, which was flying forward at high speed, stopped abruptly in mid-air. At the same time, the expression on his face, which was covered by a black robe, instantly became solemn.
Xiao Yan had no doubt about the exit of the formation he had previously detected. With his Spiritual Strength, although the formation was indeed ingenious and terrifying, since he had already detected its flaws, it must be correct. However, what surprised Xiao Yan was that he had clearly been flying in the right direction for a long time, but why was there still no exit? Logically speaking, he should have already passed the exit.
"No, something's fishy about this place. We can't be careless!"
A sense of foreboding washed over Xiao Yan, and he immediately felt a sense of unease. He moved swiftly, intending to charge forward.
Now that we are trapped in a battle with no way out, we might as well continue forward decisively. Perhaps doing so will give us a glimmer of hope.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to set off, a melodious voice, captivating all who heard it, suddenly rang out within this space.
" Brother Xiao Yan..."
The moment the sound reached Xiao Yan's ears, Xiao Yan body, which had just begun to move, froze in place. His dark eyes widened in an instant, becoming as large as copper bells, and his entire body trembled violently.
A look of deep disbelief crossed his face as he stood there, and just then, that familiar shout rang out again, this time as if it were right next to his ear.
" Brother Xiao Yan..."
The moment the shout fell, Xiao Yan, who was standing in the void, suddenly turned around. His bloodshot eyes darted around rapidly, and then, sure enough, a familiar and beautiful figure was standing in front of Xiao Yan.
Upon seeing this beautiful figure, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback at first, and then his whole body couldn't help but tremble again. Immediately, the emotions in his heart burst forth like the Yellow River bursting its banks, and he suddenly hugged the pretty girl in front of him tightly. The longing in his heart could no longer be suppressed at this moment.
" Xun'er..."
Because of his longing, Xiao Yan's voice sounded somewhat hoarse, while the girl tightly embraced in his arms wore a warm and touching sweet smile. Then, she gently pushed Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, her bright, beautiful eyes meeting his for a long time before Xun'er finally spoke slowly:
" Brother Xiao Yan, let's go home."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback at first, then asked softly:
"Go home? Go home where?"
As if she had heard something amusing, Xun'er's sweet smile instantly became even more beautiful. Her fair hand gently stroked Xiao Yan's cheek, and she whispered:
" Brother Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you? Of course we're going back to the Xiao Clan in Wutan City!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression shifted, as if he had remembered something, but then he couldn't help but ask again:
"And... how is the teacher? Has he been doing well all these years?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the girl in front of him was taken aback, as if she had never heard of this so-called "teacher" before. A look of confusion and doubt appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Seeing this, the crimson light in Xiao Yan's eyes quickly faded, and the look of surprise and joy on his face at the appearance of the girl gradually turned into indifference.
In the end, Xiao Yan shook his head in disappointment, took a deep breath, released Xun'er from his hands, and murmured to himself:
"Heh... Thank you for letting me see Xun'er again, but, what's fake... will always be fake, it can never become real, so farewell!"
" Brother Xiao Yan, what are you saying? Why can't Xun'er understand a word you're saying?"
Pushing Xun'er away, Xiao Yan was about to leave, but Xun'er, who was beside him, seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening. She quickly grabbed Xiao Yan's arm, her pretty face filled with a pitiful expression. However, Xiao Yan remained unmoved.
Just as he was about to push the person in his arms away, suddenly, another figure flashed through the void beside him, swiftly pulling " Xun'er," who was currently holding Xiao Yan, away. Then, before Xiao Yan Xiao Yan react, the figure grabbed his arm and tried to pull him away in a certain direction. At the same time, a familiar voice filled with affection entered Xiao Yan's ears.
"Husband, hurry! These guys are fake. Xun'er and I accidentally entered this place a month ago, and she may be facing the same danger now. We must find her quickly!"
An anxious voice reached Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan, and he was immediately stunned. The voice belonged to Cai Lin!
