Encountering robbers

“But in the end, if they were locked in the dungeon, none of this would have happened!” Mo Ruyu spoke sharply again.

“Big Brother! Can you please use your brain and think? In broad daylight, the Demon Clan could disguise themselves as the Sect Leaders of our two Sects and take them away.”

“If they were locked in the dungeon, with only those Disciples guarding them, would they feel something was wrong seeing the two Sect Leaders? If the disguised Sect Leaders then told them to keep it a secret…”

“How long do you think it would take us to find out that it was the Demon Clan who took away the people from their two Sects?” Xiao Feng retorted directly.

Mo Ruyu was left speechless by Xiao Feng, she just let out a cold snort, muttering some unpleasant words under her breath.

“I see it now, you just don’t like me. Since that’s the case, why don’t we just fight it out directly!”

Xiao Feng was already impatient, and hearing Mo Ruyu constantly nitpicking and blaming him, he didn’t want to tolerate it anymore and spoke directly.

“I never liked you anyway. If you want to fight, then let’s have a good fight. Could I possibly lose to you?” Mo Ruyu also agreed directly.

But the two of them ultimately didn’t manage to fight.

After all, this time the two of them were supposed to travel together.

If they really caused trouble, the friendship between the two Sects would naturally be ruined.

After the two of them bickered for a while, they directly rolled their eyes at each other and stopped saying anything more.

Xiao Feng didn’t know why Mo Ruyu was so annoyed with him.

Although they didn’t fight, he still asked the question in his heart.

Mo Ruyu, however, didn’t speak, directly acting aloof.

“Just tell me clearly. If you have some misunderstanding about me, I can tell you directly. Since we can’t avoid traveling together next, wouldn’t it be better not to let this cooperation cause too much trouble?”

Xiao Feng hated this kind of person who was like a gourd with a sawed-off mouth, asking them something and getting no answer.

“As long as you don’t stir up trouble, there naturally won’t be any problems this time. Anyway, once we reach the destination, we’ll go our separate ways.” Seeing that Mo Ruyu wasn’t willing to say anything more, Xiao Feng was too lazy to continue asking him.

If she’s unhappy, then she’s unhappy. Even if she’s unhappy, he has to endure it.

Xiao Feng was utterly speechless towards this person.

Throughout the rest of the journey, the two of them didn't communicate at all.

Fortunately, they didn’t encounter any problems along the way.

By the time they reached the small town at the foot of the mountain, it was already dark.

The two of them couldn't possibly separate immediately after arriving here.

Furthermore, by coincidence, there was only one empty inn left in the small town.

So they could only rest in the same inn for one night first.

However, as fate would have it, the two people who were holding grudges actually encountered bandits that night.

In the middle of the night, hearing the commotion outside, the two of them were originally meditating in their respective rooms.

Hearing the noise, they opened their eyes in annoyance.

Because this small town was at the foot of the Huang Tian Stone Forest, there were also some rogue cultivators here.

Moreover, due to the special geographical reasons, their senses were greatly affected after reaching the small town.

Xiao Feng was slightly better off.

After Mo Ruyu entered the room, she couldn’t perceive what was happening outside at all.

Now, hearing the noisy sounds outside, and the sound of some things being smashed, a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

So she opened the door and looked outside.

As a result, she discovered that this small inn was actually being robbed by bandits.

Those bandits were audacious enough to enter all the rooms and rob the guests' belongings.

Originally, Mo Ruyu was going to go out, but suddenly she heard Xiao Feng, who was staying next to her, open his door first, and then close it again.

Although she didn’t know what Xiao Feng was going to do, Mo Ruyu still entered Xiao Feng’s room directly through the window.

“Are you sick?!” Xiao Feng was just preparing to trap the bandits like turtles in a jar, but he didn’t expect someone to suddenly enter his room through the window.

Xiao Feng was startled, and upon seeing it was Mo Ruyu, he couldn’t help but curse directly.

Mo Ruyu almost wanted to draw her weapon and hit Xiao Feng on the head, but saving the people in the inn right now was the most important thing.

“You clearly saw the situation outside, why didn’t you go out?” Mo Ruyu asked Xiao Feng directly.

“I don’t believe you didn’t realize this place was a black inn.” Xiao Feng rolled his eyes, looking at Mo Ruyu with some suspicion.

Mo Ruyu’s cheeks flushed red, she indeed hadn’t realized this place was actually a black inn.

“Then what do we do now? Even if it’s a black inn, the other guests staying here are innocent. Are we just going to watch them die?” Mo Ruyu seized another point and asked Xiao Feng.

“There’s nobody in the other rooms at all.” Xiao Feng was utterly speechless.

Just as the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.

Xiao Feng quickly grabbed Mo Ruyu, and the two of them sat directly on the bed.

After seeing the figure reflected on the window outside, Mo Ruyu didn’t dwell on how awkward it was to be sitting with Xiao Feng anymore.

Then they saw the bandit poke a small hole in the window paper, and then extend a bamboo tube inside.

Smoke slowly emanated from the bamboo tube.

Xiao Feng took a light sniff and knew it was actually a knockout drug.

But this was only effective on ordinary people; for cultivators like them, it was nothing at all.

The two of them watched with interest as the other party finally withdrew the small bamboo tube, then quickly opened the door.

Although his movements were cautious enough, when the other party saw the two men sitting on the bed, staring at him with piercing eyes, he couldn't help but tremble slightly in his legs.

“How could you not have fainted?!” The other party asked this question directly, displeased.

“You dare to steal from your grandpa, Grandpa will make you die!” Mo Ruyu was already very annoyed with Xiao Feng, and now that there was someone she could vent her anger on, she naturally didn't hesitate.

She raised her hand directly, intending to deal with this person.

However, Xiao Feng didn’t rush to make a move, and even stopped Mo Ruyu.

He told the bandit who had just entered to call all his accomplices over.

“What are you doing?! Just kill this one, and then go kill the other bandits, wouldn’t that be enough?!” Mo Ruyu didn't understand what Xiao Feng was doing, and felt that Xiao Feng's actions were as if he was sick!

“I don’t want to run. Let them call everyone over directly. The bandit leader will know that the two of us didn’t fall for their knockout drug, so he will definitely come with them. I have my own plan then, just don’t mess things up.” Xiao Feng rolled his eyes and retorted angrily.

The bandit leader was originally in a room two doors down, searching for things.

Upon hearing his subordinate say that there were people here who hadn't been knocked out, he also quickly rushed over.

As a result, as soon as he reached the doorway, he heard the conversation between the two inside.
