Rongnuan and his companions, who had gotten separated from Ronghua for a few days, were still waiting for her. Rongnuan already knew that he shouldn’t have believed Ronghua’s words and gotten separated from her. He knew that she could not deal with so many people on her own. If he hadn’t insisted on saving these two people, they would not have had to flee like this!

With no news of her after so many days, she was likely to be in great danger!

Furthermore, You Yue always wanted to leave. She must haven’t suffered enough and be wishing for more suffering!

He thought she was too noisy and directly let her fall asleep on the road. Anyway, she was injured and needed rests. Exactly, it was what she wanted!

Rongnuan and his companions had to hide around for fear of being discovered. In the end, they found this shabby temple to stay. With the blowing night wind, You Feng held her unconscious sister in her arms to warm her. You Yue’s body was somehow icy. Even if there was a fire in front of her, it could not ease her coldness.

But now, the most frightening thing for You Feng was not the coldness but Rongnuan, who kept staring at them intently by the side.

He didn’t seem to be afraid of the coldness even though dressed in thin clothes. He had said he felt cold so sincerely in front of Ronghua, while now Ronghua wasn’t here, so he wasn’t cold anymore?

He sat on a stone tray casually with one foot resting high and the other low, and his head tilted and rested on his hand. It did be a beautiful picture. But the image might be better if the expression on his face could be a little bit calmer.

You Feng stepped back unnaturally after noticing Rongnuan’s eyes, which showed that he wanted to eat them. She felt that his gaze was a little scary now. She could not help but hold You Yue and retreat again. However, Rongnuan was still staring at them.

Because of You Yue’s disobedient behaviors in the past few days, Rongnuan didn’t believe that they would sit and wait here quietly for Ronghua’s return.

However, although You Yue wanted to escape, it didn’t mean she wanted too!

Unable to use the previous spiritual power and skills, she even couldn’t defeat half of a human now. What was more, the past event revealed that the former You Feng and You Yue had a lot of enemies. If she were not careful, she would have to be a wandering soul for hundreds of years again!

She had already learned that hundreds of years had passed after the time she died, and the Building of Mercy was said to have been taken over for hundreds of years by the notorious devil— the Evil King of Ghosts!

It was enough for a lot to change in hundreds of years. The beauty in the past should have already disappeared like fleeting clouds. After experiencing the changes brought by time, she might be unable to go back even if she wanted to!

But how did Rongnuan insist on keeping an eye on them like this? You Feng believed she would run away with her sister before those people found them if he still kept staring at them.

“Rongnuan, what on earth do you want?”

He kept looking at them with that kind of expression in his eyes, which made her dare not stay with him alone. Fortunately, she had an innate good temper, and the education she had received since childhood was strict enough. Otherwise, she would be unable to stand it if he stared at her for a longer time.

Rongnuan still stared at them but forcibly suppressed the anger in his eyes. He knew that what Ronghua had done was for him!

If it weren’t for protecting them, she wouldn’t have had to draw away those people by herself.

“Don’t dream to live a good life if anything happened to Ronghua!”

You Feng turned around in shock, “How can you say so! Ronghua seems not weak, and how come she will get in such a bad position!” Rongnuan had been looking at them all the time to prevent them from escaping, and he spoke in this manner right now. Did it mean that the woman called Ronghua would indeed end up in trouble?

“Humph—”

The “humph” made by Rongnuan contained too much information.

You Feng wasn’t a heartless person and also didn’t want to be like this. After all, she wouldn’t have been able to survive until now after waking up if it weren’t for Ronghua’s help. Moreover, Ronghua didn’t do anything to them, nor did she say what she wanted them to do even when she left.

“You’d better pray that she’s fine!”

You Feng gave a wry smile, thinking, “How come I won’t wish so? I’m afraid if something happened to her, you would turn the world upside-down!”

The sky lit up, and the wind blowing for a whole night finally eased. It was no longer so cold. The morning was the same as before, and nothing changed. But Ronghua still didn’t come back!

Stopping staring at You Feng and You Yue, Rongnuan walked to the door. It was daybreak, and he was going to see if Ronghua returned. Ronghua didn’t give them any message after so long, which made Rongnuan so worried that he was about to go crazy.

After putting down his sister and covering her with the clothes, You Feng walked over as well.

“Where are we going next?”

You Feng felt that she needed to ask about it. There were still people hunting after them, and it wouldn’t be good news for them to be discovered! However, if they walked too far away, Ronghua would be unable to find them and would probably become anxious. But if they did not leave, they would be in danger. What a dilemma!

“Wait!”

No matter how worried she was, it could never outweigh a single word of Rongnuan. As long as he said that they should wait here, they could go nowhere! Rongnuan always valued his words as gold in front of them, as if speaking more would lead to his death.

You Feng also roughly noticed it and stopped asking. There was a dense fog outside. Her eyelids kept twitching. Would anything terrible happen?

She had never seen such a thick fog before. It did be unusual today.

“This fog is too dense!” You Feng reminded Rongnuan, “There was not such a heavy fog yesterday!” Rongnuan didn’t answer her but noticed her worry about the present situation from her words.

He frowned and said, “It’s always so foggy every day.” Although he said so, the fact was in front of him, and he had to admit that something was likely to happen today!

After Rongnuan finished speaking, he seemed unwilling to talk to her any longer and walked into the temple on his own without any word. You Feng smiled helplessly. When would he be able to speak to others mildly?

Perhaps only towards Ronghua would he speak gently.

After a short while, the fog outside the temple became thicker and thicker, accompanied by waves of strong winds. However, the wind blowing over from outside did not disperse the mist but nearly extinguished their guttering flames. You Feng immediately went up to shield from the wind and threw over a board behind her, temporarily blocking the hole that the wind entered.

The wind was strange!

The wind blew Rongnuan’s clothes. He frowned and seemed aware of something terrible was going to happen.

“You Feng, take care of your sister!”

You Feng raised her head and asked somewhat unnaturally, “What happened?”

Rongnuan turned his head and said with a grave expression, “Something dangerous outside is approaching us!”

“Something dangerous!” You Feng couldn’t help but worry. Even Rongnuan thought it dangerous, which meant that it was indeed terrible. If the coming one harbored malicious intentions, they would be in danger. They didn’t have any combat strength at all, and even the most basic protection was relying on Rongnuan. She asked, “How dangerous?”

Rongnuan said uncertainly, “I had no idea. I know nothing except that he is dangerous.”

You Feng also began to be anxious. It had never happened before. If even Rongnuan couldn’t get more information, they would surely be in danger this time.

“... But there’s no aura of killing!” Rongnuan added.

“No aura of killing....”

The coming one was dangerous but had no aura of killing. What the hell was that?

Rongnuan set up a formation in front of the door, hoping that it would be able to hold off for a while. However, it couldn’t work for a long time. They had to take advantage of the moment when this formation stopped the coming one and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, their consequences would be unimaginable!

You Feng also understood what Rongnuan was going to do. As long as there was a chance to escape, she would seize it. If not, no one knew what they would encounter!

Rongnuan glanced at You Feng to hint her to pay attention. She also responded with a glance, showing him that she would keep up with him!

It was still a vast white mist outside. It should have been a sunny day but looked so gloomy and terrifying now. Soon, a crisp ringing of bells came from outside the temple. You Feng’s heart lurched as she heard it. She felt the sound gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. What was going on?

Rongnuan slowly retreated towards the sisters as quietly as possible. You Feng stepped back as well. The ringing of the bell became clearer and clearer, indicating that the one was getting closer and closer to them.

Then, You Feng looked to the direction of Rongnuan and seemed to see a red shadow in the hazy fog. But before she could see it clearly, the shadow disappeared immediately. Did her eyes deceive her?

Although You Feng wanted to tell Rongnuan about it, she was also afraid of disturbing him. Moreover, she had not seen it clearly and thought perhaps it just resulted from her blurred vision, so she finally said nothing.

Rongnuan continued to retreat. It seemed that the coming one was approaching the formation. You Feng’s heart was about to jump out of her throat. She was so afraid that she would miss the best chance to escape if she were not careful enough.

Suddenly, Rongnuan and You Feng smelled a bloody smell. They looked at each other and realized that the coming one was doing something!

The next moment, they heard a crisp tinkling of bells, and then the formation at the door was activated and trapped the coming one. Rongnuan shouted, “Run!” He broke through the wooden board next to him and ran out in a flash.

You Feng no longer hesitated. Following Rongnuan, she carried his sister on her back and ran away without any hesitation. Rongnuan led them away as fast as he could.

He led them through the fog with his intuition. However, no one knew how long they had run, but they still did not go out. Instead, they felt they were more and more confused and seemed unable to walk out. They hadn’t been out yet even though with such extraordinary speed.

“Rongnuan….”

Rongnuan didn’t reply, but his tightly shut mouth implied he had noticed that it was strange here. But he had not found a solution!

It seemed that someone had done something to this place, so no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t get out of here unless they could break the shackles. Otherwise...

“Rongnuan, there’s something wrong with this place!”

Rongnuan had already noticed this problem, “Find the key to the formation!”

The one had set up a formation here. It seemed that he was undoubtedly smart. How could he make it in such a short time? Did he know who they were?

“The key to the formation? We don’t even know anything about this formation! How can we find it?”

“Find the key or be dead meat!” Rongnuan turned around and glared at You Feng. She was so angry that she felt speechless. Couldn’t he speak politely?

After calming down a little, she decided to go to find the key!

Rongnuan also realized that they should be unable to stop the coming one with the formation at the door since he could lay down a trap in the fog without their sensing it. However, the one was indeed trapped before they escaped from the temple. Did he pretend to be caught? It must have been his plot that they were able to leave so smoothly!

What was his purpose of letting them go intentionally?

A puff of white smoke approached them, but they didn’t notice it at all.

Wandering around them for a while, it (the white smoke) was not in a hurry to attack, but apparently, it was waiting for the right time!
