Seeing the woman in front of him entering the mountains, Wei San knew that it was impossible to catch up with the woman at this time.

However, he was still unwilling to give up and chased after her with a few of his men. Sure enough, after entering the forest, there was no trace of the woman anymore.

Wei San thought for a while, then divided the people into two teams, one to the left and one to the right, to search.

"Regardless of whether we find any trace of the woman, we will meet here in an hour!" Wei San said.

"Yes, Master!" Several guards whispered in unison.

Wei San took two guards and searched to the left.

While he was searching for the whereabouts of the woman, he was thinking about this matter in his mind. Was it this woman who played the flute music? So was he wrong? The person playing the flute tonight was not the person who snatched the blueprints of the mechanism in Yuhuang City.

?In other words, this woman and that man are in the same group?

When Wei San thought about this, he felt that he was overthinking it. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right? However, why did this woman hide when she encountered them? This was what puzzled him, and it was also the reason why he ordered to continue tracking.

An hour later, the two groups regrouped at the foot of the mountain. Sure enough, no one could find any trace of the woman, as if she disappeared out of thin air as soon as she entered the mountain.

Wei San was not very surprised by such a result. The woman's movement skills were extremely fast. Although she didn't know how good she was, her Qinggong was definitely good. How could it be so easy to run into such a deep mountain and old forest on such a dark night?

was found.

"Forget it, let's go back." Wei San waved his hand and returned with several of his guards in the direction of Zhoujiazhuang.

He thought that the woman might just be a charlatan with an eccentric temperament. Since he couldn't find her, there was no need to waste time and energy on her.

Let’s talk about Cen Xiyan. She has traveled all over the country over the years. In order to smuggle black goods, she even opened a dangerous road from the Eastern Xun Kingdom to the Yanjiang Kingdom. People in the deep mountains and old forests are very familiar with this kind of mountain and forest environment. Therefore, entering the Xishan Mountains

After that, it was impossible for Wei San and others to find her, but she had already walked out of the back mountain in a zigzag manner and returned to Zhoujiazhuang one step earlier than Wei San and others.

What Cen Xiyan and Wei San didn't know was that Zui Liuyun was hiding in the crown of a century-old tree on the way back to Ping'an Inn. He was sitting in a chic and leisurely posture, watching the two groups of Cen Xiyan and Wei San.

Return to the inn.

Huh? Zui Liuyun was playing with the jade flute with one hand and touching his chin with the other, thoughtfully. Was that little girl afraid that Wei San would find him and deliberately diverted those people away?

"Ha..." Zui Liuyun couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and laughed softly. The feeling of being helped seemed pretty good! Although, he didn't actually need her to lure people away for him, he had ways to deal with it.

Just like when she came out, Cen Xiyan entered the room through the window again, landed lightly on the ground, and closed the window silently. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, are you back?"

"Miss, you are finally back..."

Jingshuang and Yingxue had not slept since they left Cenxiyan, waiting for her to come back.

At this time, little Amy also heard the noise, woke up, got out of the special wooden house, and flapped her wings.

"Well, I'm back." Cen Xiyan whispered back to Jingshuang and Yingxue, and then tapped little Amy's forehead, "Shh! Little one, be quiet and go to sleep!"

Little Amy is very sensitive to the "shush" sound. In the past, when her owner didn't want her to make noise, she would make a "shush" sound. Then she obediently crawled back into the cabin and continued to sleep.

Jingshuang sat up and wanted to go down to the ground to help Cen Xiyan change her clothes.

Cen Xiyan quickly stopped him and said, "Don't get up. Don't worry about me. I'll go to sleep right away."

When Jingshuang heard this, she didn't insist on being pretentious and lay down again. She knew that Cen Xiyan was actually a very independent person, and they didn't have to wait for some things.

Cen Xiyan walked to the round table and sat down without holding a lamp. He poured himself a glass of water in the dark, drank half of it, and listened to the music with bated breath for a long time. He felt his throat was a little dry. Now that he had moisturized his throat, he felt much better.

"Miss, have you seen the person playing the flute? Is he a boy or a girl? How old is he? What does he look like?" Yingxue raised her head and couldn't help gossiping.

"Who told you that I went to see the flute player?" Cen Xiyan denied subconsciously.

"Isn't it?" Yingxue asked innocently.

"Stop guessing, go to sleep!" Cen Xiyan put down his teacup, walked to the couch, and quickly started to take off his clothes.

"Oh..." Yingxue lay down again and did not dare to ask anymore.

Not long after Cen Xiyan got into bed, she heard slight noises in other rooms not far away, and she knew that Wei San and others were also back.

When Wei San and the others went out, they were very careful. Jingshuang and Yingxue had average cultivation, so they didn't notice their actions. Now when Wei San and the others came back, someone accidentally made some noise. This time,

Jingshuang and Yingxue both heard it.

Yingxue was a little more impatient and couldn't help but turn over and sit up from the bed.

Before Yingxue could speak, Cen Xiyan immediately "shushed" again, signaling the two girls to stop talking and go to bed quickly.

Jingshuang was smart and calm. She quickly pulled Yingxue and asked her to go back to bed and stop moving.

Although Yingxue felt a little uncomfortable holding back the pressure, she didn't dare to make any more noise. She lay back on the bed and counted sheep, hoping to fall asleep as soon as possible and stop thinking about who and what was happening outside.

Zui Liuyun also returned to the inn, but of course he would not let anyone notice him entering or leaving the inn.

In the morning, when the sky was bright and clear, Zui Liuyun heard the sound of the shop owner getting up downstairs, so he got up, packed his luggage, went downstairs and bought a few kilograms of beef and a pot of liquor. After that, he paid the bill and left the Ping'an Inn.

After leaving Zhoujiazhuang, Zui Liuyun reined in his mount, turned around, and looked at Ping'an Inn again, his eyes falling on the window of the guest room where Cen Xiyan was.

"Little girl, I have to take the first step. Let's meet again by fate. See you later..." Zui Liuyun whispered, slightly raised his lips, tightened his grip on the horse's belly, shook the reins, and rode away.

He went all the way north, and the direction he went was also the direction of Sheng'an, the capital of Dongxun...

After Cen Xiyan got up and washed up, she sat in front of the mirror and let Jingshuang help her comb her hair. Her expression was slightly lost. She felt a little regretful at the moment. This time, she and her elegant and carefree soulmate met again.

I just passed him by! I don’t know where he came from or where he went. Will we have the chance to see him again in the future and hear his flute again...

"Miss, it's done. Can you take a look?" Jingshuang helped Cen Xiyan comb her hair. Seeing that she didn't respond, she couldn't help but call out.
