Riding a Phoenix to Cultivation

Chapter 264 Leaving Quietly vs Returning Suddenly
Wonton looked at the contract for a long time, and was very annoyed. Just when he didn't know what to do, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

When Wonton heard Shi Ke's voice, she immediately jumped up from her chair and hurriedly hid the jade pendant and the contract.

Just as the things were hidden, Shi Ke had already entered the door.

"Wonton, when did you come back?"

Only Zhiyan followed Shi Ke into the house.Ye Lan was in charge of watching the other children, so she stayed at the banquet.

According to Feng Yi's instructions, Wonton lied that he was lost.

Although Shi Ke and Zhi Yan had doubts on their faces, they felt that Wonton, a child, had nothing to lie about.

But Shi Ke saw that Wonton's movements were restrained, so he asked worriedly, "Did something happen when you lost your way? You seem to be a little restless."

"Ah, no, that's right, the road was dark on the way back... I was a little scared." Wonton stammered, looking really frightened.

Zhiyan took a small white bottle from his body, and poured a small pill into Wonton.

"This is Anshen Pill, you take it before going to bed. Master Shi Ke, I saw the child startled, why don't I take her home first?"

Shi Ke thought for a while, and felt that it would be safer to stop talking, but just as she was about to speak, she heard someone calling them from behind.

"Cultivator, cultivator, the master said about the forbidden area..."

The one who spoke was the servant of Baili's family. He obviously had something urgent to tell Shi Ke and the others, but he was apprehensive seeing Wonton's presence.

"How about this, let Wonton stay here to rest for a while, Zhiyan, you follow me to find the owner of Baili."

After Shi Ke finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Wonton, "You can stay here first, Wonton, I'll have someone deliver the food later, after you finish eating, take the Anshen Pill, and we'll come back to pick you up later. "

Wonton was a little stunned when the servant mentioned the word forbidden place, afraid that Shi Ke and the others would find out that she had lost her way to the forbidden place, and even more afraid that Shi Ke and the others would find that the bones were by her side now.

So when Shi Ke asked her to stay here first, she nodded immediately.

After Shi Ke and Zhi Yan had left, Wonton didn't stay in the room after the food was delivered, but quietly opened the door and went out.

"I don't know where Feng Yi and Huang Shu are, they will go back later."

Wonton walked through the Baili Mountain Villa in a panic, calling Huang Shu and Feng Yi in a low voice while walking, but no one responded.

At this time, Zhiyan, who had walked half the distance with Shi Ke, suddenly turned his head and asked Shi Ke, "When that child came just now, he seemed to have two spirit beasts with him, right? Why didn't you see it?"

Shi Ke was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he really didn't see those two spirit beasts just now.

"Will it be hidden?"

Zhi Yan hesitated for a moment, then stopped, "Cultivator Shi Ke, I think the child was restless just now, maybe it wasn't because he got lost, but something else happened. Now that something happened in Baili Mountain Villa, we It's better to watch the children closely to avoid accidents."

Shi Ke nodded and said, "In this case, you should go back first. I can go to the owner of Baili Villa by myself."

"Ah."

After the two finished speaking, they parted ways.

It's just that when Zhiyan came to the Wonton House, he found that only the delivered food was on the table, but the people in the room were gone.

But at this time, she didn't find Feng Yi's wonton, but ran into Jiang Chengqing by mistake.

Jiang Chengqing sat on a rockery in a courtyard, his whole body blended into the night, so that the wontons passing by didn't see it.

On the contrary, it was Jiang Chengqing who suddenly called out to her, and she sprained her foot in fright, bumped into the rockery, and the contract in her arms fell out.
