Xiao Feng frowned slightly. The scene from the mirror was completely different, and there was definitely one that was fake. Combined with what he sensed from the small movement of the beam of light, he guessed that it was very likely that what he saw was fake.

After which, he bid his farewells to Qi Renjian before heading off alone in a certain direction to investigate.

The village was very big, not much worse than the city itself. Rather than calling it a village, it would be more accurate to call it a city. However, the city retained its original structure, which consisted mostly of houses made of stone, bamboo and straw. It was constructed in a very stylish and unique style, giving off an exotic feeling.

Xiao Feng walked around the house, but didn't find anything unusual. Even though the house was a mess, it was clear that it was not destroyed by force, but more like it was caused by hastily packing things up before it left.

From the looks of it, the first scene reflected by the Mirror of Return to Shadow was fake!

Xiao Feng frowned, because the possibility of that was the highest. He had sensed Yu Daoguang's soul power before, so it wasn't very strong. Now that he thought about it, it actually felt like a very small illusion technique.

But why did Yu Daoguang create that fake scene?

In addition, the thing that caused him the most surprise was that Yu Daoguang was actually interfered with by the small illusion while everyone else was sneakily observing.

This person was too terrifying!

Xiao Feng still had some lingering fear. Thinking about it, Yu Daoguang must have set up a trap when everyone had just passed through the teleportation channel, before they could even recover.

After Xiao Feng investigated for a while, he planned to return to the rendezvous point.

Tshh Tshh!

Suddenly, from the house that he was in, a sound came out, Xiao Feng's figure moved, he instantly appeared in one of the rooms.

The room was a mess. He had checked earlier, and there was nothing special about it.

Xiao Feng frowned, and carefully checked again, but still failed to find anything.

Strange, could it be my imagination?

He hadn't made a sound since he came in. Suddenly, Xiao Feng's sea of consciousness moved, immediately, a majestic soul force seeped out, with a powerful soul force, it enveloped the entire room, it was almost as though they were searching everywhere.

In his sea of consciousness, the bronze coloured long spear soul continued to spin. Although he hadn't cultivated his soul power alone for the past few months, he had still broken through to Bronze rank while concocting pills like crazy.

With his current soul power, he could even kill a Genuine Force Warrior.

Eh?

Suddenly, he exclaimed softly, and looked at the corner, it was empty, but Xiao Feng could feel a strange undulation from it.

Xiao Feng became more focused as he slowly walked over. He raised his palm, and his Essence Qi began to swirl around him. He was just about to strike out with his palm.

Big brother, don't!

A tender voice suddenly sounded out, followed by ripples in the space in the corner, revealing a little girl of about seven or eight years old.

Xiao Feng was shocked, how did this little girl appear here? Moreover, he had never been able to get a good sense of the situation.

He saw the little girl hugging her knees, curled up in the corner, shivering.

The little girl was wearing a thin and tattered set of clothes. She was barefooted and looked extremely pitiful. Beneath her messy long hair was an extremely adorable face. Her skin was as white as a baby's, and could be easily broken with a flick of a finger. On her forehead, there was a faint imprint that was like a drop of water, appearing extremely unique.

At this moment, her pair of large watery eyes was looking at Xiao Feng with a pitiful look, and her eyes contained a faint sense of fear.

Little girl, why are you here?

Xiao Feng couldn't help but be moved when he saw the little girl. This little girl's appearance was somewhat similar to Yan Ruling, especially her big watery eyes, which made Xiao Feng feel even more pity for her.

I... I...

The little girl's voice was trembling. She seemed to be frightened by something and was at a loss for words.

Xiao Feng took out a jacket from his storage ring and put it on the little girl. His gaze was gentle as he lightly patted the little girl's head and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't be scared, big brother is not a bad person!

There was still fear in the little girl's eyes, but there was an extra glimmer of hope. Really? she asked innocently.

Hm!

Looking at the little girl's innocent appearance, Xiao Feng felt even more pity, and said gently: "Little girl, there's not a single person in this village, why are you here?

I... I... The little girl stuttered again, looking frightened.

Xiao Feng continued to ask: What about your master?

The little girl shook her head and didn't say anything. However, a pair of watery eyes continued to look at Xiao Feng, blinking occasionally, as if wanting to see if Xiao Feng was a bad guy or not.

Are you hungry?

Xiao Feng knew that the little girl was definitely too shocked, so he didn't ask anymore. Instead, he took out some rations and passed it to the little girl. The little girl hesitated for a bit, and then licked her dry lips.

Eat slower, I still have more!

He then took out some more and watched as the little girl wolfed down the food.

Only when the little girl had eaten to the point where she did not want to eat anymore, did Xiao Feng ask: "I am a disciple of Cang Nan Academy, my name is Xiao Feng, what's your name?

My name is Fuer! The little girl seemed to have let down her guard against Xiao Feng. The sound was very pleasant to hear, like the sound of spring water. It was pleasant to listen to, like the name of a person — Like Water.

The name was very nice!

Yes, my mother did not say it either. She said that she hoped that I would be as free as Fuer, and that I would be able to let the fish swim around happily, and bring them happiness!

Hehe, your mother must be very fond of you! Xiao Feng smiled slightly, although he did not know why Fuer's mother would make such a comparison, it was completely a name that would benefit others.

When he mentioned his mother, Fuer's interest grew even more. He chattered about a lot of things, and his words were filled with yearning for his mother. As he finished speaking, his eyes dimmed.

But I can't find my mother now! Fuer said in an aggrieved manner.

It's alright, big brother will bring you to find your mother. If I can't find her, I can ask my academy for help. Xiao Feng consoled.

Really? Fuer looked at Xiao Feng with a face full of hope, his watery big eyes unblinking.

Xiao Feng nodded his head heavily. His resolute eyes allowed Fuer to finally let go of the last of his defenses and throw himself into Xiao Feng's embrace.

Xiao Feng lightly patted Fuer's back, her eyes filled with love and affection, just like a brother and sister. Not long later, Fuer actually fell asleep.

She must be tired!

Xiao Feng helplessly shook his head, and carried Fuer as he prepared to go to the rendezvous point, and only after he gathered the other three people would he make his plans.

However, just as he walked out of the room, he saw a figure standing at the door and looking at him indifferently.

Senior brother Yu? Xiao Feng was startled, the one who came was none other than Yu Daoguang.

Xiao Feng started to be vigilant inwardly. Yu Daoguang and Yu Daoguang walked in completely different directions, why would they suddenly come to this place? Moreover, the whole village was very big. If he said that it was a coincidence, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Yu Daoguang's face was indifferent. He looked at Fuer who was in Xiao Feng's embrace and could not help but frown, and said: Why is there someone here?

Xiao Feng was on guard in his heart, but his expression did not change as he said, "This little girl probably lost his parents, so let's take her with us first!"

Take her? Don't you know how dangerous it is here? If we can't protect ourselves, how can we take care of this little girl? Yu Daoguang was a bit displeased. Leave her here, we shouldn't bother about matters that we shouldn't care about!

No, if he left her here, it would be even more dangerous! Xiao Feng did not expect Yu Daoguang to object, and his expression turned cold.

You dare to disobey orders?

Yu Daoguang's eyes turned cold and the aura around his body also suddenly became sharp.

Big brother, what's wrong?

Perhaps it was because of the aura of the Dao light, Fuer woke up and looked at the Dao light in a daze.

Yu Daoguang's face changed the moment he saw Fuer. His eyes were filled with shock as he stared at Fuer, causing Fuer to immediately bury her head in Xiao Feng's embrace. Her small body shivered.

Xiao Feng promptly patted Fuer's back and comforted him: "Fuer, don't be afraid, this person is big brother's senior brother!

But his eyes were fierce! Fuer said in a low voice, with a hint of fear.

Don't be afraid, it's okay! Xiao Feng continued to comfort her.

Yeah, yeah, Fuer don't be afraid, I'm your big brother's senior brother, I won't hurt you!

Yu Daoguang's expression suddenly turned friendly, while his stiff face revealed a rare smile.

Xiao Feng was a little astonished, since when did Yu Daoguang know how to laugh? This was the first time he had seen it, and he could not help but feel that something was amiss.

Fuer twisted his body, as though sshe did not want the Dao Light to come into contact with him, and at that moment, Xiao Feng suddenly felt a strange energy undulation coming from Yu Dao Guang's body, causing him to be shocked, he immediately retreated two steps, and said: Senior brother Yu, Fuer is still alive, let me hug him!

Oh? Is that right? Didn't you just meet her? Why aren't you afraid of me?

Yu Daoguang's eyes swept across Xiao Feng, and then flashed with a sharp light, although it was only for a moment, Xiao Feng was able to see it clearly.

It was probably because Fuer had just been frightened and had not recovered yet! Xiao Feng spoke as he retreated once again, because he saw Yu Daoguang moving closer to him. He looked casual, but his footsteps were extremely calm.

Oh! So it was like this!

However, in the next moment, he suddenly took a big stride, his fingers forming a claw as he grabbed towards Fuer.

Xiao Feng's face changed, the tip of his foot touched the ground, and his figure retreated explosively.

Damn you, Xiao Feng, you actually want to take all the benefits for yourself! I am the leader for this operation, everything will be decided by me, quickly hand Fuer over to me!

Yu Daoguang's face turned completely cold, with greed and coldness in his eyes.

Senior Brother Yu, I completely don't understand what you're talking about!

Xiao Feng was stunned by Yu Daoguang's words, and did not understand what he meant at all.

Stop pretending, Xiao Feng, with your intelligence, how could you not know where this Fuer came from? I think you want to keep it for yourself! Yu Daoguang ridiculed, his footsteps were not slow at all, heading straight for Xiao Feng.

Fuer's origin? Xiao Feng was full of suspicions. Although he had long known that Fuer was extremely special, and had never noticed it even when Fuer was hiding in a corner, he never thought that Fuer would cause Yu Daoguang to go crazy to such an extent.

Just what sort of identity did Yu Daoguang possess that caused him to reveal his true form, as well as his insane greed?

I don't care where Fuer came from, since I promised Fuer to protect her and help her find her parents, I feel that I shouldn't let anyone hurt her!

Xiao Feng said solemnly, his tone revealing his unshakeable determination.

Humph! What are you pretending to be noble in front of me? Do you dare to say that you don't know she is a member of the Dragon clan?

Yu Daoguang had already been completely enraged by Xiao Feng, as he directly erupted with a strong Qi, causing him to be unable to breathe.

Xiao Feng's expression changed slightly. As expected of the tenth rank expert on the Heavenly Rankings, he was already at the middle stage of the Genuine Force.
