Chapter 2660: Doubt

Guo Xinning approached Feng Jiu and cast a sidelong glance at the young man who was half a head shorter than him.

“I’m only a servant in the Xie mansion, so I can’t break the rules.”

“But I don’t think you look at all like a servant. You look more like a master than Yutang.” He looked at her as if he was trying to deduce the answer from her expression.

Feng Jiu chuckled. “That’s because he’s laid-back and lacks the arrogance of a master.”

“Is that really so?” Obviously, he didn’t believe it.

They stopped speaking and simply walked around slowly, observing the movement around them. After a lengthy period of silence, Guo Xinning finally spoke again. “Why were you not injured when you confronted the wolves?” He wanted to ask this question ever since he saw that they weren’t hurt. However, he had endured it until he finally posed this question.

Feng Jiu cocked her head to look at him with a look of surprise. “Does Young Master Guo want us to get hurt?”

Guo Xinning, who hadn’t expected this question, was taken aback. He shook his head and gave Feng Jiu a deep look. “No, I just have some doubts.”

“What room is there for doubt? Because of your protection, we were not injured!” She spoke in a matter-of-fact tone as if what she said were true.

Guo Xinning would have believed her statement if he had not witnessed the situation and known that the Guo family could not protect them under such conditions.

Since he couldn’t get an answer, he didn’t ask any more questions and instead quietly patrolled the night. But as the night got darker and quieter, he couldn’t help but stop and look into the dark forest.

“What’s wrong?” Feng Jiu also stopped.

“It’s strange.” Guo Xinning responded.

Feng Jiu’s eyes flickered as she inquired, “What’s so strange?”

“The blood of the wolf pack and the injured Guo family’s disciples had been permeating the air for a long time, but there’s no more ferocious beasts coming when the stench of blood is so strong. It makes no sense.” Guo Xinning pondered, unable to pinpoint what made the night so peaceful.

Anyone who has travelled outside to gain experience knows that in the woods infested with ferocious beasts, the reek of blood at night would incite the beasts. Except for the wolves who had previously attacked them, the smell of blood here had not attracted any other beasts.

This did not make sense. He expected another tense battle tonight, but he was surprised by how peaceful it was.

When she heard his musing, Feng Jiu chuckled. “Do you always have so many thoughts? Isn’t it a good thing that no more ferocious beasts are on their way here?”

She had been releasing her ancient pressure in the area, but because Guo Xinning’s cultivation strength was not particularly powerful, he was naturally unaware of its existence.

“How long will it take to get out of here, by the way?” She still had her medicinal pills in the Treasure Exchange Building! She said she would pick up the exchange seven days later, but she would have missed it if she had to stay here the whole time.

“Our family set up a teleportation array in this place. We can leave the Poison Forest as long as we get there.”

Guo Xinning said, his brow furrowed slightly.”It’s just that now everyone is hurt and it appears to me that the Great Elder is badly wounded. I fear there will be numerous beast attacks along the way. It will most likely take some time to climb the mountain to the teleportation array.”

Feng Jiu’s curiosity was piqued. Teleportation array? The Ruan family seemed to have a teleportation array in this forest as well
