“Great elder, since you’ve already decided, we’ll do as you say! I have no objections. ” Elder Shan said.

“Elder Shan, I’ll have to trouble you to handle this matter. It’s not convenient for me to speak up about the separation of the family. I can only pretend that I don’t know about it. Moreover, you must be very careful and tell them not to tell anyone that the Hong family has already separated. Otherwise, they will bear the consequences!” The first elder of the Hong family reminded.

“Don’t worry, Grand Elder. I know what to do. ” After elder Shan finished speaking, he gave a slight bow to the first elder of the Hong family and left the ancestral hall.

The Hong family was secretly splitting up. At this time, Leng ruoxue and the others had arrived at Yan Bei city. They went to the city Lord’s mansion to greet Yan kun and told him what had happened during this period of time. After that, she brought Yin Xiao and the others into the nightmare forest.

Walking in the nightmare forest and breathing in the fresh air, Yin Xiao felt a sense of relaxation and peace that he had never felt before.

As Leng ruoxue and the rest arrived at the main residence that they had settled down on a mountain, Yin Xiao and the rest stayed there temporarily.

The evildoer felt extremely uncomfortable seeing people sticking themselves in between his Xue ‘er and acting as a thousand-watt light bulb. However, Xue’ er was the one who invited them and he couldn’t chase them away, so he was extremely depressed. Yin Xiao seemed to know the evildoer’s thoughts and appeared in front of them more frequently.

Everyone had agreed to go hunting together. Yin Xiao and the rest, who were already prepared, followed Leng ruoxue and the others into the forest. However, as they walked, they realized that they had lost their way. At this moment, Leng ruoxue and the others had disappeared too. What was going on? Could it be that the rabbits they encountered just now were the bait they set up to abandon them here? Yin Xiao couldn’t help but let his thoughts run wild.

In fact, he had guessed correctly. The evildoer thought that he was too much of an eyesore, so he used the group of rabbits that ran into their sight to lure the Tiger away from the mountain!

Originally, they had wanted to chase after the group of rabbits together. However, the evildoer who was walking at the back had pulled Leng ruoxue away when no one was paying attention. As for Zi Yu and the rest, they had lived in the forest for a long time, so they were naturally not trapped by the maze in the forest. However, Yin Xiao and the rest were different. It was their first time here and they were too focused on chasing after the rabbits. As a result, they were accidentally separated from Zi Yu and the rest. Yin Xiao and the rest, who were not very familiar with the forest, naturally lost their way.

“Young master! We’re lost. There seems to be a maze formation here. ” After observing it carefully, uncle Zhong came to an important conclusion.

“A bewildering formation? Could it be that Xue ‘er and the others set it up?” Yin Xiao’s face was filled with curiosity. He wasn’t dejected because he knew that Xue ‘er would definitely send someone to find them, so he wasn’t worried at all.

“I don’t know about that. However, we can’t leave now. We can only wait for miss Leng and the others to come and find us.” Uncle Zhong said calmly.

“Well, since we’re here, let’s take things as they are. In that case, let’s take a good look around here! I feel that this bewildering formation seems to be quite large. ” Yin Xiao said with a face full of anticipation. The so-called bewildering formation was similar to a maze. They both had to find the exit. Otherwise, they would be trapped in the bewildering formation forever.

“Young master! Be careful, although there are formations here, they are all based on the actual situation of the place where the formation is set up. Thus, other than not being able to leave, everything here is real and there is a considerable amount of danger, so we must be on high alert. ” Uncle Zhong, who had a slight understanding of formations, recalled the characteristics of a bewildering formation and warned him very cautiously.

“Yes.” Yin Xiao and the others nodded, and everyone carefully strolled through the maze.

There was no lack of food in the maze because there were many small animals trapped in the maze. However, the small animals were quite adaptable and did not panic because they could not get out. After seeing Yin Xiao and the others, they continued to eat their food unhurriedly, while some were sleeping in their caves.

As it was late autumn, the weather was rather cold. As a result, some of the beasts that were afraid of the cold had already chosen to sleep in their own caves. As for those beasts that were loitering outside, they did not have much intelligence and had a lower sense of danger. These beasts were also their best food choices.

After wandering around the maze for a while, Yin Xiao and the rest sat on the ground. After starting a fire, they placed the rabbit and Turkey meat that had been cleaned long ago on the fire to roast. Although the temperature inside the maze was not much different from the outside, the beasts living inside were obviously more comfortable. They had few natural enemies and would probably only eat and sleep every day. Therefore, these low level beasts were all fat and strong. They were roasted on the fire for a while. The oil began to sizzle and drip onto the fire, creating small sparks. Yin Xiao’s heart was filled with satisfaction as he smelled the meat’s fragrance.

“Young master! If young lady Leng can’t find us tonight, we can only spend the night here. ” After supper, uncle Zhong warned Zhang tie as he watched the gradually darkening sky.

“Hmm, uncle Zhong, tell them to set up the tents! I guess we’ll have to spend the night here. ” Yin Xiao said. That jealous man would not let Xue ‘er find them so easily! Therefore, he resigned himself to his fate!

“Alright,” he said. “Yes, sir!” Uncle Zhong replied and then went to instruct his subordinates.

Yin Xiao looked at the sky that was slowly turning dark and sat by the fire in a daze.

From afar, uncle Zhong saw his young master’s condition and tactfully did not disturb him. Instead, he casually found a place to sit down and carefully observed Yin Xiao’s reaction in secret.

Yin Xiao, who was lost in his own thoughts, felt a bright gaze on him. He felt helpless and couldn’t help but say,””Uncle Zhong, why do you keep your eyes on me?” In fact, there was one more thing that he didn’t say in his heart, and that was ‘uncle Zhong, your gaze makes my pear grow big’!

“Young master! You’re not young anymore, it’s time for you to start a family. ” Uncle Zhong thought that his young master felt lonely after seeing them in pairs. Therefore, he couldn’t help but put it in a serious way.

“Family? Forget it! Uncle Zhong, you know that I’m used to being free. Besides, I don’t like those women who are as delicate as flowers. I don’t have the time to coax them. ” Yin Xiao said with a headache.

“Then what kind of girl do you like? Tell uncle Zhong! Uncle Zhong will keep an eye out for you. ” Uncle Zhong asked with an expectant look. Although he had watched the young master grow up, he didn’t know what the young master was thinking about because the young master always greeted people with a smile and buried all his thoughts in his heart!

“Hehe! If you can find me someone like Xue ‘er, I might consider it. ” Yin Xiao made it difficult for him. He knew that uncle Zhong must have been incited by his grandfather to tell him this. Otherwise, uncle Zhong wouldn’t say this for no reason.

“Uh! Young master wanted to find someone as beautiful as miss Leng? Or strength?” Uncle Zhong said with a troubled expression. He had lived in the firmament for many years and had a very high status in the yin clan. He was also the most trusted person by the clan head’s side. Hence, he had seen many young ladies from the direct line of descent from the top clans. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he had never thought that they would be on par with Leng ruoxue. Those ladies seemed a little childish in front of Leng ruoxue.

“Appearance, strength, and temperament must all be the same. If uncle Zhong can find them, I’ll marry and have a family as you wish.” Yin Xiao promised, feeling proud of his own intelligence. He had arranged a ‘task’ for uncle Zhong, so uncle Zhong didn’t have time to target him!

Actually, the reason why he wanted his future wife to be like Leng ruoxue was just to find an excuse. He didn’t want uncle Zhong to be entrusted by others to nag about his marriage. He knew very well that it was impossible for uncle Zhong to find a woman like Leng ruoxue. After all, a woman like Leng ruoxue was definitely one of a kind in this world. His request would definitely reach his grandfather’s ears. He had no choice but to give up.

“Young master! Aren’t you making things difficult for your subordinates? I’m afraid that you might not be able to find someone with young lady Leng’s appearance and temperament even if you search the entire divine realm. As for someone with a similar strength to young lady Leng, it would be easier. ” As uncle Zhong was valued by his master, he was naturally very smart. How could he not hear the young master’s intention to shirk responsibility?

“Uncle Zhong, do you know Xue ‘er’s real battle strength? Do you really think they are as good as their appearance?” Yin Xiao raised his brows and asked.

“Uh!” Uncle Zhong became dumbfounded,”yup!” How could he forget that those people liked to pretend to be pigs to eat Tigers? it seemed that even if he wanted to find someone with the same strength as miss Leng, there would be no chance. Sigh! He was a little dejected.

“Uncle Zhong, don’t worry about my marriage, alas! I can only blame myself for knowing Xue ‘er for such a short time, we’re not fated to be together!” Yin Xiao pretended to be sad as he spoke.

In fact, although he admired Xue ‘er, it was more of admiration because he knew that an outstanding woman like Xue’ er was not someone ordinary men could control. Moreover, she already had someone she liked, so naturally, he would not do anything to snatch her away.

More importantly, he could not take her away. That evil man was like a beast protecting its food, guarding Xue ‘er’s side every day. Which man could get close to Xue’ er? in addition, he had personally witnessed the evil man’s murderous aura and shocking aura. He had no other thoughts. Now, he was already very satisfied that Xue ‘er could call him big brother Yin. He did not dare to expect too much because his mother had once said that one should know how to be content with what they have. Don’t covet things that don’t belong to you. That is the beginning of destruction. He had always kept his mother’s wise words in mind.

“AI! Young master! Although miss Leng is very outstanding, she really doesn’t suit you. ” Uncle Zhong comforted his young master at once when he saw his young master was a bit sad.

“Uncle Zhong, don’t urge me to get married in the future. I don’t have that intention for the time being.” Yin Xiao’s face was filled with worry as he spoke.
