"What do you mean?" asked Wan Lie immediately approaching.

"Sshhh." Xue Ning gestured for them to lower their voice a bit.

​​

"What the hell happened, girl? Why do you look so scared?" said Huang Bao when he watched the girl tremble slightly with eyes that occasionally looked around them.

"Put this on first," said the girl taking out a cloth and pointing it at Fu Xie Lan's face without answering Huang Bao, but the cloth had not even touched Fu Xie Lan, someone grabbed the cloth by force.

"Don't mess with her," said Gu Yi, who had been near Fu Xie Lan, pulling his wife's arm back into his arms. He was not willing to see other people touch the girl even though that person was a woman though.

Of course, Fu Xie Lan was shocked by the man's sudden action.

"What are you doing?" Fu Xie Lan asked slightly looking up at the man's eyes.

The thin cloth that was in the man's hand was snatched away.

"That girl is my friend," added Fu Xie Lan again then immediately let go of Gu Yi's hand that was holding her tightly and turned to face Xue Ning.

"Don't take it to heart, he is indeed a strange person. You'll get used to it later," said Fu Xie Lan.

"Then this?" Xie Lan stretched out the cloth. turned out to be very small.

"Cover your face, and let's leave this place."

"Use this mask? Why?"

Xue Ning reached into her pocket and took out a folded paper.

"You guys, look at this."

Xue Ning unfolded the paper and placed it in front of everyone.

"This?" Wan Lie said with a hardened jaw.

The same thing happened to Gu Yi.

The paper contained a painting of Fu Xie Lan's face. Even the curve of her face looks very clearly depicted.

A large inscription was printed on the edge of the paper which made those who saw the painting, even more, harden their jaws.

A FAIRY HALF-HUMAN DOES NOT DESERVE TO LIFE

That's the content of the writing.

Gu Yi stared coldly at the face painting, suddenly the paper caught fire, falling apart mixed with dirt and dust carried by the wind.

Only a few seconds, the paper was gone without a trace.

Xue Ying hadn't even realized what had happened and the paper in her hand was gone.

Seeing the face painting, Fu Xie Lan was silent for a moment. She finally understood why the girl in front of her gave her a piece of cloth, and without waiting long she put it on.

"It's useless to burn it, Fu Xie Lan's face painting is already scattered in Kanca City," she softly sighed.

"What do you mean?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

While the three men were silent, no one made a sound. They knew that what they were facing right now was extremely dangerous. Huang Bao rubbed his face in annoyance many times. Wan Lie and Gu Yi just stood still with their fists looking hard.

"Someone spread a painting of your face within the City. It seems that they are very obsessed with eliminating you," Xue Ning began. She was also a little surprised when she first saw Xie Lan's face painting.

A few days ago, when she returned to the village, the entire villagers disappeared. They left no trace. Strangely all the belongings of the residents were still neatly arranged in the house, she had thought that there might be an attack from a magic beast, but she quickly denied it because she didn't find the slightest bloodstain. The villagers mysteriously disappeared. Even Master Ruo wasn't there either.

Was it that old man's doing? She didn't know.

And the reason why she was able to be in Kanca City was to look for Fu Xie Lan.

Xue Ning had time to look for the cause of the disappearance of the villagers. She entered every resident's house to look for clues. But to no avail, the only valuable thing she found was a piece of teleportation paper that she found in Master Ruo's residence. And that's what she used to get to this place so quickly.

Master Ruo did often use things like that when looking for some herbs for the benefit of the villagers. The reason is simple. So that time is not wasted on the trip.

Xue Ning arrived at that place when it was still dark. Bored waiting for the arrival of the girl she was looking for, she decided to take a walk in the city. However, what she found was that Fu Xie Lan's face painting was everywhere. Immediately she took off a sheet and put it in her pocket secretly then left the City, and waited for Fu Xie Lan outside the gate to prevent her from entering.

She could not imagine, what if she did not arrive in the City first?

Xue Ning told her everything without subtracting or adding to anything. Occasionally pause to take a breath.

"Tell me slowly," said Fu Xie Lan, her hand moving to rub the girl's back to give her some comfort.

Xue Ning continued slowly. Telling everything that had happened until the moment they met.

"We should go back," said Wan Lie who was then nodded by Xue Ning and Huang Bao.

"No," said Fu Xie Lan.

Immediately all eyes were on her.

"What's the use of this mask if we go back?" She added with her hand touching the cloth that partially covered her face and tightening the knot.

"But, it's very dangerous Xie Lan," said Wan Lie. He didn't want to be in a situation where his mother would be so dangerous.

Gu Yi wanted to speak but Wan Lie previous him again, making him even more irritated.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you." Gu Yi said pulling Fu Xie Lan back to his side. He had to look better in front of her, no matter what.

Behind Fu Xie Lan's mask, a faint smile appeared on her lips without her noticing.

Wan Lie who heard his father's words just stunned, rubbed his face roughly. He couldn't understand what that Lord was thinking. Even though he knew that his mother had become a little stronger and his father who was a Demon was always by his side, the young man was still very worried.

Wouldn't it be better to avoid danger?

"Do you hear? This pervert will take care of me. After all, no one will recognize me," she said, patting Gu Yi's shoulder.

Xue Ning almost fell backward when she heard Fu Xie Lan call the man who looked so handsome and seductive a pervert. But strangely, the man seemed to be okay and just accepted the call pinned to him.

Another reason Fu Xie Lan was eager to enter the city was because of the Ruby Star Stone. Where else could she meet all races if not in That City? According to her, when different people gather in one place, the scope of the information she can get can be wider.

Using her instincts as an agent to survive. She is very confident in her decision.
