Mu Qihan thought for a while and finally withdrew the soul - bewitching formation.
Seeing his action, Nan Chaoyu curved her lips.
Her gaze passed over the two people in front of her and landed on An Hu.
An Hu was startled by her look and blurted out, "Where did this woman come from? This is a matter of Wuxiang City. Be sensible and don't interfere!"
Wuxiang City...
Nan Chaoyu suddenly remembered that day when Xie Zhenlan scolded her and said something about hooking up with Young Master Mu.
Could it be...
There was a sudden movement of the wind in her ears. When she came back to her senses, she only heard An Hu let out a shrill scream: "Ah~"
The scream was shrill and hoarse, making one's scalp tingle. Several people around who wanted to step forward to help An Hu were instantly frozen in their steps and didn't dare to move.
And An Hu's right hand twitched continuously in a very strange posture.
"E, eldest young master, if you have the guts, kill me!"
Mu Qihan didn't even move his eyebrows. He looked at Nan Chaoyu and said, "Don't you want to go find the Soul - Devouring Sea Flower? Let's go!"
Nan Chaoyu glanced at An Hu and followed Mu Qihan.
Feng Ji's arm was bandaged. It wasn't so horrifying at this time. Nan Chaoyu reached out and touched it.
"Not bad. The bone isn't injured."
"Don't worry, Master. It's nothing serious."
Nan Chaoyu nodded. She walked beside Feng Ji and, surprisingly, didn't get closer to the person in front.
Xiao Tian walked beside Mu Qihan, half a step behind, with his head down. He whispered, "Young master, I was wrong!"
"What's your fault?" His voice was flat, showing no sign of anger or joy.
But Xiao Tian still sensed that his master was angry!
His heart skipped a beat. "This subordinate shouldn't have disobeyed the young master. This subordinate deserves to die!"
"Xiao Tian!" A faint look of disappointment flashed across Mu Qihan's face. "You've been by my side for some time, but you still don't know what's important!"
"Young master..."
"Miss Nan protected you on the arena. Just now, when you were besieged by An Hu, her companion got injured for you. Have you ever said thank you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tian's face flushed red. He quickly glanced backward and didn't dare to make a sound.
But he was a bit unconvinced in his heart.
Everyone present could clearly see Xiao Tian's small actions, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
Soon, the group arrived at the lake. Compared with the previous calmness, the lake now had more undercurrents.
Mist gradually rose on the lake. Nan Chaoyu reached out and touched it. She felt a slight stinging pain, which was exactly the same as the feeling of the snow hitting her body in the illusion before!
"This mist is strange."
Mu Qihan frowned tightly. A look of solemnity appeared on his usually cold face.
Obviously, he was also encountering this situation for the first time.
"Anyway, let's leave here first and go get the Soul - Devouring Sea Flower. The exit of the secret realm is there."
"Okay!"
However, the small boat they came in obviously couldn't carry so many people.
Xiao Tian glanced at Mu Qihan but didn't say a word. However, the expression on his face clearly showed that he wanted his young master to get on the boat first.
Nan Chaoyu had a faint smile on her lips. She slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Mu Qihan.
"Miss Nan, you take your people and go first."
Mu Qihan didn't give Nan Chaoyu a chance to refuse. "Xiao Tian and I have our own way. After you get on the boat, head straight for the center of the lake and act according to the situation. We'll catch up later."
Xiao Tian was a bit anxious. They had no other way at all. This small boat was hidden by a senior of the Mu family in the Soul - Devouring Sea ten years ago!
He hoped that Nan Chaoyu would give up the boat. Since she liked the young master so much, she definitely wouldn't let the young master take risks.
Who knew that Nan Chaoyu didn't even look at him. She turned around and looked at Feng Ji and Feng Xiao. "Get on the boat. Feng Xiao, take good care of Feng Ji. Don't act rashly if you meet the people of the Xie family."
"Yes!"
The four departments of Night, Wind, Thunder, and Frost were Nan Chaoyu's most loyal companions and would absolutely obey her orders.
Feng Xiao and Feng Ji got on the small boat first.
When Nan Chaoyu walked past Xiao Tian, she paused slightly. She tilted her head and glanced at him. "Take care, young fellow!"
Xiao Tian dared not speak out his anger and glared at Nan Chaoyu.
If it weren't for this woman, the young master would have already gotten on the boat and left!
"Ah!"
Before the thought could turn around, he felt his body lighten up. He suddenly flew up into the air.
Screaming and flailing, he pounced towards the boat.
Nan Chaoyu curled her lips. This guy had such a poor psychological quality. Was there no one in Wuxiang City?
Seeing that Xiao Tian was about to fall into the lake in panic, Feng Xiao reached out and pulled him onto the boat.
Nan Chaoyu waved her hand. "Go!"
Feng Xiao had excellent executive ability. Seeing that Xiao Tian had stood still, he didn't care about him and directly set the boat off.
Mu Qihan watched helplessly as this girl arranged everything. Before he could stop her, only the two of them were left on the shore.
"Why don't you go?"
"Don't worry. It's not that I'm worried about you. I just think it's better for the two of us to act than to take a burden with us."
"..."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Xiao Tian's actions did seem like those of a burden.
Mu Qihan pinched the bridge of his nose. A look of helplessness flashed across his face. He said with an apologetic tone, "I apologize to you on behalf of Xiao Tian, and also - thank you!"
Nan Chaoyu took off the Mysterious Ice Sword from her waist. Hearing this, she paused for a moment. She said with a half - smile, "Young Master Mu, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have saved him at all. So there's no need to say sorry."
Everyone serves their own master. She could understand.
She didn't care either!
After all, not everyone was like Feng Xiao and the others who supported her unconditionally.
Not everyone was worth saving.
All she did was -
For him!
Nan Chaoyu placed the Mysterious Ice Sword on the lake. She gently patted it and whispered, "Take us away. Be good!"
Mu Qihan didn't expect her to accept the apology. He surveyed the surroundings.
With a wave of his hand, he struck at the nearest tree with his spiritual energy as if it were free!
Ordinary trees on the Spiritual Lake couldn't be made into boats that could sail. Only the trees in this forest could be made into boats.
Nan Chaoyu was startled by the noise behind her. She looked back and saw this guy chopping the tree. She quickly stopped him.
"Come with me!" As she spoke, she pulled Mu Qihan onto the Mysterious Ice Sword floating on the water.
The Mysterious Ice Sword was forged from the snow - water on the Snow God Mountain and was soaked in the coldest chill on this continent.
The water on the Spiritual Lake was also chilled by it.
Carrying the two of them, it shuttled through the mist and instantly disappeared.
Only then did Mu Qihan realize that he had underestimated this princess.
The Mysterious Ice Sword was fully releasing its sword energy. He had felt something strange about it in the Lingfeng Teahouse that day.
Now it seemed that the Mysterious Ice Sword had chosen its master. This girl -
Was not simple!
"What are you thinking, Young Master Mu? Don't you want to ask me where I'm taking you?"
"I still trust your character, Miss."
Nan Chaoyu curved her lips. She guessed this was a compliment.
The Mysterious Ice Sword was much faster than that shabby boat. As they got closer to the center of the Spiritual Lake, the mist gradually thickened.
The exposed skin felt a slight pain.
The water waves under their feet gradually surged from all directions.
The calm was suddenly broken!
