Feng Yu and Xiao Xin both didn't know that, but Chu Dongao had actually been pretending all along that his injuries had already improved a lot. Moreover, Chu Dongao still had to escape the pursuit of his younger brother Chu Dongxiong. He had been busy these past few days running, so his condition was naturally more serious.
Feng Yu sensed something was wrong with Ao Dong, but he was still an outsider after all. The two of them had only met by chance, there was no need to ask too much. Only, compared to usual, Feng Yu was even more concerned about Chu Dongao now.
In truth, Ao Dong's condition had worsened, but he didn't want Feng Yu and Xiao Xin to worry about him. He used the medicine to evade the pursuit and rushed around everywhere. He did not manage to get a proper treatment, nor did he manage to get a better doctor.
On this day, they finally arrived at an inn and prepared to take a good rest before continuing on their journey. Seeing that Chu Dongao's injuries were already so serious, Feng Yu insisted on bringing Chu Dongao to find a good doctor. Only, Chu Dongao was unwilling, he knew in the bottom of his heart that this place must be filled with Chu Dongxiong's spies, who could possibly kill him at any time. Although he could not go into detail about this reason to Feng Yu and Xiao Xin, he still had to be on high alert.
Feng Yu naturally sensed something, but was willing to respect Ao Dong's privacy, hence did not ask any further.
As soon as Feng Yu asked Xiao Xin to catch the medicine for Ao Dong, Xiao Xin went to look for the medicinal ingredients that Ao Dong needed. Before leaving, Qian Fengyu warned him a thousand times, "Xiao Xin, you have to pay attention to safety!"
"We can't let anyone else find out."
Although Xiao Xin didn't understand much, she was still quite intelligent and was able to understand what Feng Yu meant.
Only, what Xiao Xin and Feng Yu absolutely did not expect was that when Xiao Xin was searching for the medicinal ingredients that Chu Dongao was treating, she was actually discovered by Chu Dongxiong's subordinates. Furthermore, they had secretly followed behind Xiao Xin, planning to look for Chu Dongao from her body, so that they could capture him.
Xiao Xin didn't know that there was someone following him, she only focused on finding the medicinal ingredients, and was worried about Chu Dongao's injuries. She didn't have time to worry about too many things, furthermore, Xiao Xin didn't know any martial arts, so how could she sense that she was being followed.
was only interested in finding medicinal ingredients, he didn't think too much about it and went to the pharmacy and the doctor to explain the situation. Afterwards, all of this was transmitted to the ears of Chu Dongxiong, after finding the medicinal ingredients, Xiao Xin returned to their inn.
Xiao Xin, who hadn't noticed it in the slightest, naturally shook her head. She replied that there wasn't anyone in the Phoenix Feather Dao who was following him. Feng Yu heaved a sigh of relief, then relaxed a little, and took the medicinal ingredients Xiao Xin had found for Ao Dong. She looked at the already slightly exhausted Ao Dong and sighed before going to ointment the medicine for him.
"Xiao Xin, take care of him first." However, just as Feng Yu finished speaking and was about to get up, a few people rushed into the room. Feng Yu hurriedly and sternly asked, "Who are you?!"
The leader of the enemy shouted, "You don't need to know who I am, all you need to know is that we are going to take your lives!"
"That will depend on whether you have the ability to do so!" Feng Yu had already drawn her sword and prepared to stab at her opponent.
"Alright!" The other party was not to be outdone. He replied, "Then let's give it a try!"
When Chu Dongao saw this scene a few days ago, he naturally understood that Feng Yu was definitely not a match for the few people in front of him. After forcing himself to stand up, he also unsheathed his sword.
Since Xiao Xin did not know any martial arts, in order to not cause further trouble for Feng Yu's Ao Dong, he hid in a corner.
Although there were a lot of enemies, they were just a few small fries and not a match for Chu Dongao and Feng Yu. However, Feng Yu and Chu Dongao both knew in their hearts that they could not fight against the opponent for a long period of time, or else they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Ao Dong naturally understood in his heart that it was impossible for them to win against them, so he did not continue to fight.
The three of them hid in an alleyway that no one should be able to see. They felt that they shouldn't stay here any longer, so they went back to the temple they lived in and felt that it was safe.
Feng Yu helped Chu Dongao to sit down, and discovered that Chu Dongao's face was deathly pale, without even the slightest hint of blood. This startled Feng Yu greatly, and she asked repeatedly: "Are you alright?"
Chu Dongao didn't want Feng Yu and Xiao Xin to worry about him, furthermore, he had caused all of this today. His heart was filled with incomparable guilt, so he forced out a smile and told Feng Yu: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Feng Yu was inwardly annoyed. Even though he was already in this state, she was still barely able to prevent herself from worrying. Although her heart was full of doubts and did not have much trust in him, she still asked in concern, "You're already in this state, and you still say that you're fine!"
Chu Dongao was still smiling, his forehead was covered with fine beads of perspiration, as if he was trying his best to persevere on with something.
"Alright, you don't need to speak anymore. Take a rest first."
"I still don't know where we'll escape to!" Feng Yu coldly said. She sat on the ground, and behind her was a stone statue covered in dust. Feng Yu hugged her legs, curled up in a ball. There were also some listless eyes that were looking at something, but no one knew what they were thinking.
Chu Dongao's heart was extremely complicated. He felt absolutely guilty towards Feng Yu and Xiao Xin, but in the end, he still could not tell the truth of the matter to the two of them as he looked at Feng Yu's face. He hadn't had a proper look at Feng Yu's appearance these past few days, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare to. But why would he, the dignified crown prince of the NANOU, not dare to do anything? But Feng Yu and Xiao Xin still didn't know of her identity, not to mention that Feng Yu and Xiao Xin were her savior.
But now, Chu Dongao actually wanted to look at Feng Yu's face. He had always felt that the woman beside him was a little strange. Why did he say it was weird? She clearly didn't have any feelings for him, and similarly, she didn't have any feelings for him. She treated everything around her coldly, as if she was keeping a huge distance from everyone, as if she couldn't allow anyone else to get close to her.
But Chu Dongao didn't know why, but he actually had some interest towards him now. It was as if the woman in front of him was a special character.
Feng Yu did not notice that Chu Dongao was looking at him, hence, her gaze shifted towards Xiao Xin, who was packing her luggage at the side.
Because Xiao Xin had just left in too much of a hurry, and she had finally found and lost all of the medicinal ingredients she had lost, she was very vexed and did not know what to do next. She walked up to Feng Yu and said, "Ah! We still have a lot of things that we haven't brought out yet! "
Feng Yu knew the guilt in Xiao Xin's heart at this moment, so she comforted her: "Alright, I'm fine, let's rest for a while now."
"Don't think too much into it for now, we still have to go!"
However, Xiao Xin was still a little depressed. In order to make Xiao Xin happy, Feng Yu shifted her attention and asked her to go to the backyard to fetch a bucket of water. Feng Yu seemed to have found something to do as she hurried to the backyard.
Xiao Xin went to the backyard to fetch water. She realized that she had been in too much of a hurry the last time she came here, and had not even had time to take a proper look at the scenery of the backyard. Only now did she realize that this was actually a pretty good courtyard.
However, Xiao Xin couldn't care too much about it at the same time, and didn't look for too much either. She remembered Feng Yu's reminder, and immediately went to find a bucket to fetch water.
During the gap between Feng Yu and Xiao Xin's words, Chu Dongao had already turned his face elsewhere. In order to prevent Feng Yu from noticing that he was looking at him, although she felt it to be strange, she still avoided Feng Yu's gaze. It was as if nothing had happened.
Feng Yu turned her head to the side and saw that Chu Dongao was also leaning on the stone statue, her eyes were lifeless and it was unknown what she was thinking about.
"Who the hell are you?" Feng Yu finally could not conceal the doubt in his heart. When he slightly gasped for breath, he caught off guard and asked.
Feng Yu could clearly feel that after she asked this question, Ao Dong was obviously startled for a long time.
Chu Dongao turned around and looked at Feng Yu. "She's just an ordinary merchant!"
Chu Dongao decided to keep what he had just said to himself and did not explain anything.
"But I really can't believe that an ordinary merchant would be chased like this." Feng Yu's tone changed. It was extremely cold, as if she could feel the cold energy from her body at any time. It made people shudder. "Could it be that you have a grudge with someone?"
Chu Dongao didn't know how to reply, but Feng Yu was waiting for him to come up with some kind of plan to stall him, so she quietly waited.
However, Xiao Xin suddenly ran over. Chu Dongao was slightly relieved, and felt that he had barely been able to explain it to his. He decided not to deceive the two of them, and when the time was right, he would tell them everything.
Seeing Xiao Xin rushing over in such a hurry, Feng Yu thought that something bad had happened, and asked repeatedly: "Xiao Xin, what's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Xiao Xin shook her head. Feng Yu was anxious, but she managed to suppress her curiosity and asked: "What's wrong with that?"
"Don't be in such a hurry. Slow down."
Xiao Xin nodded and agreed.
Then, Xiao Xin told Feng Yu and Chu Dongao that she had found a dog hole in the backyard. They could have escaped through it and taken a small road.
After hearing Xiao Xin's words, Feng Yu immediately helped Chu Dongao up. Forgetting about the problems they had just now, she immediately left for the dilapidated temple's backyard.
When the three of them arrived at the backyard, they found a dog hole in an inconspicuous place. Overjoyed, he immediately prepared to pass through it.
"Xiao Xin, you go out first." Feng Yu told Xiao Xin that Xiao Xin was relatively small so she could easily pass through. After that, Feng Yu let Chu Dongao pass first, leaving him behind until the very end.
After the three of them passed through the dog hole, they walked on a very hidden mountain road. They all felt that this road was too hidden and that the other party might not be able to find them.
But what Chu Dongao did not expect was that Chu Dongxiong's men were naturally not weak either. They quickly discovered their whereabouts and immediately dispatched a large number of people to chase after them.
