Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Therefore, it is very likely that Xiao Feng is not the one who will help him.

If you think about it that way, it's not impossible.

Of course, Shiraba Ye also knew that all of this was just her own conjecture.

Regardless of the circumstances, Xiao Feng is now highly suspected.

To clear Xiao Feng of this suspicion, it is necessary to conduct a test.

Back at the city lord's mansion, Bai Yeye called Xiaohua and Xiaotao over.

Bai Ye told Xiao Hua and Xiao Tao everything that Ju Menglu had said, verbatim.

As her personal maids since childhood, Shirae Ye trusted Momo and Hana immensely.

Xiao Hua and Xiao Tao were extremely surprised when they heard this.

Xiao Feng is not just an eleven or twelve-year-old human child, but a powerful being who has concealed his identity?

How is this possible?

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Xiaotao and Xiaohua.

"Your Highness, could there be some mistake...?"

Xiaohua and Xiaotao were both incredulous and couldn't accept it.

How could such an adorable little boy possibly be transformed from a greasy middle-aged man?

It might not just be a middle-aged man; it could even be a decrepit old man in disguise!

Just thinking about Xiao Feng in my arms, Xiao Feng kissing my cheeks all the time, and giving him a bath...

It turns out Xiao Feng is an old man...

Xiaohua and Xiaotao's expressions changed.

A feeling of nausea suddenly rose in Xiaotao and Xiaohua's hearts!

"I don't know the specifics either, but you'll need to test it out."

Bai Yeye spoke up.

"Tonight, you will disguise yourselves as assassins and test the waters."

Regardless, when someone faces a life-or-death crisis, they're bound to resort to unconventional methods.

"Yes!"

Xiao Tao and Xiao Hua bowed slightly, thinking to themselves that Xiao Feng must not turn into a greasy middle-aged man or a decrepit old man.

That evening, Su Li took a shower and went to bed, intending to have a good night's sleep.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in, opening the window, and Su Li shivered.

Without thinking much about it, Su Li got up to close the window.

And just as Su Li closed the window.

In that darkness, Su Li sensed an incomparably sharp sword aura!

"hiss!!!"

A flash of sword light streaked past Su Li's 24K titanium alloy eyes.

Su Li tried to dodge, but the sword was too fast.

Su Li was just a thirteen-year-old child with no cultivation at all, so he had no way to dodge!

Just as the sword was 0.01 centimeters away from Su Li's heart, it stopped.

Looking at the sword hanging over his chest, Su Li's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

Holy crap! Who on earth would try to harm a naive, innocent, and adorable twelve or thirteen-year-old boy like me?!

At this moment, more than a dozen conjectures popped into Su Li's mind.

This is the City Lord's Mansion, the place where Bai Yeye lives. How could an ordinary cultivator possibly enter the City Lord's Mansion?

Moreover, this assassin, after entering the city lord's mansion, actually tried to assassinate a mere child like himself.

This just doesn't seem right!

Test!

This must be a test from Shiraba!

"Who...who are you? Why are you trying to kill me?"

Su Li's eyes welled up with tears.

"If you kill me, Sister Bai will not let you get away with it!"

Xiao Tao frowned slightly beneath the mask.

She wondered if Her Highness was being too suspicious.

This kind of probing does seem simple and unpretentious, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it's a test.

But the key to this probing lies in the moment you draw your sword!

The sword strike Xiaotao just unleashed was a sure-kill strike, carrying boundless killing intent.

Under normal circumstances, a normal cultivator would subconsciously react to this sword strike.

Even if the other party realizes that this is a test, there will still be a momentary fluctuation of spiritual energy around them.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more obvious this fluctuation will be.

However, there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy around Xiao Feng.

"Why don't you hide?" the masked woman asked in a deep voice.

"..."

Su Li felt as if a thousand alpacas were galloping through her mind.

I want to hide too!

The question is, can I avoid it?

Fortunately, I didn't have any spiritual power. Otherwise, in the instant she suddenly attacked, my subconscious defense, even just a thought, would have activated my spiritual power, which would have been hard to explain.

The masked woman gave Su Li a deep look, said nothing more, and left, disappearing into the moonlight.

Su Li fell into deep thought in the room.

"As expected! Shiraba Ye has become suspicious of me!"

Chapter 708 The Closest to Death

After leaving Su Li's courtyard, Xiao Tao reported the entire assassination attempt to Bai Yeye.

After hearing this, Bai Yeye breathed a sigh of relief, as if a mountain had been lifted from her heart.

Bai Yeye was certain that if he had been suddenly assassinated in the previous situation, even if he had realized it was a trap, he would have been able to avoid it.

However, under that subconscious urge to resist, one's spiritual energy will inevitably fluctuate.

This has nothing to do with spiritual level; rather, it is something etched deep in the soul, accumulated through long-term cultivation and combat—a conditioned reflex formed later in life.

However, Su Feng did not show any fluctuation of spiritual energy at that time.

In other words, Su Feng could not possibly be a cultivator.

"I understand, you may leave now." Bai Yeye nodded. "There's no need to worry about Xiaofeng's identity anymore. Xiaofeng is probably just a child."

"Yes."

Xiao Tao happily withdrew as well.

In Xiao Tao's heart, she naturally didn't want Su Feng to be a greasy middle-aged man or an old man.

To some extent, she had watched Xiaofeng grow up, and she didn't want Xiaofeng to deceive her.

After Xiaotao left, Bai Yeye took a deep breath, patted her prominent chest, and relaxed completely: "Thank goodness..."

To be honest, if Su Feng really did reveal his true colors, Bai Yeye really wouldn't know what to do.

I've already taken afternoon naps with him, and I even often hold him in my arms. I'm no longer pure...

Fortunately, none of these things happened, and Xiao Feng remained a simple child.

"Waaaaah... Sister Bai... Someone wants to kill Xiao Feng... Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

Just as Bai Yeye wanted to visit Su Feng, wondering if Su Feng was frightened.

Su Feng's voice came from outside the room.

Bai Yeye opened the door and saw Su Feng rushing towards her, expertly throwing himself into her arms.

Su Li began to put on a show, wiping away tears as she recounted how she was perfectly fine in her room when someone came to assassinate her.

Su Feng said he was very scared.

I have nightmares.

I can't sleep well.

They were also worried that something might happen to Sister Bai.

Seeing Su Li's nervous and frightened appearance, Bai Yeye felt a pang of self-reproach.

Xiao Feng is just a child; this kind of assassination attempt could leave a lasting trauma on him...

On the very night Bai Yeye felt remorseful, Su Li naturally ended up in Bai Yeye's room. Bai Yeye kept patting Su Li to help him fall asleep peacefully.

Su Li was even startled awake from her dream.

The next day, Su Li developed a fever.

Bai Ye felt even more guilty and remorseful.

Bai Yeye thought that Xiao Feng must have been too frightened to behave like this.

In fact, Su Li went swimming in the pool before she arrived.

It was already late autumn, and Su Li, who was not yet thirteen years old, went swimming in the pool. It would be strange if she didn't get a fever and a cold.

Although having a fever is very uncomfortable, fortunately, Bai Yeye healed herself in time with her spiritual power and completely cleared herself of suspicion.

Another two weeks will pass.

Baiye Ye Dianbing.

Since the battle with Yanhuo Kingdom had just ended, there was still a lot of ashes left to be cleaned up.

Fearing that the Fire-Slaying Kingdom might rise again, Bai Ye left half of his army to reorganize the Fire-Slaying Kingdom, while he led the other half to conquer the Horse-Man Kingdom.

Half a month later, the army arrived at the border of the Centaur Kingdom.

At this point, there was less than a month left before Su Li could return to her original appearance.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there shouldn't be any surprises."

As the time drew nearer, Su Li grew increasingly excited.

However, Su Li felt a little reluctant to part with it.

Bai Yeye and Xiao Tao Xiao Hua have been really good to me. They have taken care of me for the past three years. I am about to leave and will never be able to be hugged by them again.

After arriving at the border of the Centaur Kingdom, Bai Yeye, as before, set up camp on this grassland and discussed strategies for attacking the Centaur Kingdom.

Ultimately, Bai Yeye's answer was to skip all the fancy stuff and just suppress them with sheer military force!

The situation in Centaur Kingdom is quite special. Bai Ye needs to go and subdue Centaur Kingdom, and do so in a way that makes them truly submit.

The Centaur people worship the strong and are extremely brave and skilled in battle. Only by conquering them with strength will they submit to you as their master!

If we use some fancy and complicated strategies, we might be looked down upon by the Centaur Kingdom.

However, before suppressing the enemy with military force, Shiraba Ye planned to manipulate public opinion.

Shiraha Ye believed that there were still centaurs in the Centaur Kingdom who were loyal to the original royal family.

However, since the royal family has all died, these centaur warriors have lost their leader and are now probably in a daze, not knowing what to do.
