Chapter 566: Chapter 567 Misunderstanding_1

"What did he mean by that?"

Mo Li, who rushed over, asked Guo Huai with a puzzled look, scratching his head. Guo Huai too was unsure how to respond; he certainly couldn’t blurt out that it was a phrase from the Omeilia Region, could he? Cursing Feng Yuan under his breath, Guo Huai said with a guilty conscience,

"I don’t know, it might be some local dialect."

"Dialect?"

Mo Li found this odd, after all, according to the records on Feng Yuan, he had never left Great Li. Since being adopted by the previous master of Wolf Mountain Hall, he had always stayed in Wolf Mountain Hall, until recently when he followed Mo Li to Yongning and Nanyu.

Yao Yin glanced at the black steles and said,

"Why bother about these details? Could it be that you don’t trust him?"

"No, just curious."

Mo Li said without hesitation. He wasn’t making things up; there was no reason to excessively doubt Feng Yuan. Given his strength, there was no need to go to the effort of plotting against Mo Li.

The shadow of the black bear rose upright. A hint of mockery appeared in its crimson eyes. Its black paws clapped once, and the black steles suddenly released dark light, causing the arrows flying at Feng Yuan to stall mid-air. The shadow of the black bear leapt out from behind Feng Yuan, launching an attack on the ’Mountain Bandits’ who couldn’t move. Although it was merely a projection of dark energy, the claws of the black bear could easily pierce and slash through everything it touched.

Mo Ling could only glance at the scene before turning away, unable to bear the sight. Yao Yin swept a look over the frolicking black bear, then ignored Feng Yuan’s situation. She turned to Mo Li and said,

"I’ll take her aside to rest for a while. You can just bring that bastard over later."

"Okay."

Mo Li’s expression didn’t change as he watched the battlefield, but he couldn’t stop his hand holding the spear from trembling slightly. Hua Yiyou let out a sigh and said,

"I really don’t know what to say about him."

"It’s alright now. Can you move?"

Pushing away Feng Yuan’s extended hand, the woman looked at him with a complex expression. Seeing that she seemed to be mostly unharmed, Feng Yuan said with a slight smile,

"You don’t appear to be from Nanyu Kingdom. It would be best not to get involved in Nanyu’s affairs."

"Why! I’m not afraid of them!"

"Headlong into danger? Do you have the strength for it?"

Feng Yuan said without looking back, as he wasn’t interested in further conversation with the stranger he had mistaken for someone else. The woman shouted loudly as she saw Feng Yuan walking deeper into the forest,

"How would I know without trying! Even if this path is blocked, I will find a way that leads to the end!"

"Even if the cost is extremely heavy?"

"What?!"

The woman didn’t understand the meaning of Feng Yuan’s last words, but by then, Feng Yuan had already disappeared into the woods without any echo. Looking around, the woman hoisted her greatsword and chased after him.

"What are you doing here?"

"You?!"

Yao Yin looked surprised at the sight of Wei Dingwu before her. He seemed puzzled as he observed Yao Yin and Mo Ling, noticing only the two of them and the ’big white dog’. He was concerned they might be in trouble and asked hastily with a change in his expression,

"Have you run into some trouble?"

"There is some trouble, but..."

Yao Yin said, looking in the direction of Mo Li and the others. She wasn’t sure how to explain to Wei Dingwu. If she caused a misunderstanding about Feng Yuan, it would be troublesome. Grabbing Wei Dingwu, who wanted to rush over, Yao Yin said in a low voice,

"It’s not that we’re in danger, it’s just..."

"Brother..."

Seeing Mo Li, Mo Ling weakly spoke. Mo Li felt a pang of heartache upon seeing Mo Ling like this and couldn’t help but curse Feng Yuan under his breath. However, he was also worried—if Mo Ling was already in such a state just from the start, what would happen on the battlefield? Hua Yiyou gently patted Mo Li’s shoulder, shook his head, and whispered with a smile,

"Don’t worry; it’s just the initial discomfort. I believe she’ll come to terms with it."

"But!"

"If she’s willing to hide in the rear, she wouldn’t have these concerns, but do you think she would agree?"

Mo Li sighed. Knowing Mo Ling well, he understood that it was impossible. If she was willing to hide under his protection, she wouldn’t be training her Hundred Flowers Army.

"What have you encountered? Mountain bandits? I heard there were troubles with bandits around here, so I came over."

Wei Dingwu asked somewhat strangely, looking at Mo Li and the others. It didn’t seem like they had been in a battle, but the sight of Feng Yuan emerging from the bushes startled him. At that moment, Feng Yuan still maintained his fighting stance, a dark and malevolent mist swirling around him. His sickle, seemingly stained with blood, dripped a lurid crimson as the droplets slowly fell.

"What are you doing here?"

Feng Yuan was somewhat surprised to see Wei Dingwu. After glancing at Feng Yuan’s crimson eyes, Wei Dingwu said in astonishment,

"What happened to you? I heard there were mountain bandits causing trouble around here, so I rushed over. You didn’t run into mountain bandits, did you?"

Remembering the woman he had just encountered, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. He looked at Wei Dingwu with some helplessness and said,

"I didn’t realize she was taken to be you."

"What do you mean ’taken to be me’?"

Wei Dingwu felt utterly confused. Just then, the woman also caught up. Seeing Wei Dingwu and the telekinetic brown bear behind her, the woman thought for a moment, then said with a bit of amusement,

"So that’s how it is. I was wondering where those guys got the guts from."

"Who are you?"

Suddenly seeing someone else wielding a greatsword and accompanied by a telekinetic brown bear just like himself, Wei Dingwu was taken aback as he sized up the stranger. They both wielded greatswords, but it was clear that the other person was much more skilled in using it than him. The telekinetic brown bear with her was also a notch stronger than his own. Although she seemed to be dressed in cloth armor, Wei Dingwu recognized that it was all forged from rare materials that offered extreme flexibility and immense protective strength.

"Liu Wenli, I didn’t expect they were lying in wait for you, the warrior goddess of the Nanyu Kingdom."

"Ambushed?!"

Staring in surprise at Liu Wenli and then glancing at Feng Yuan, Liu Wenli said irritably,

"Stop pretending. I can tell what kind of person you are. I’m not one to casually blame others for my troubles. Why be so cautious and make it so bloody?"

"Bloody?"

Seeing Wei Dingwu’s confusion, Liu Wenli pointed her greatsword in the direction they came from and said,

"Over there. Those who ambushed me must have mistaken me for you. What idiots."

"That..."

"You’d better go check and clean up a bit so as not to scare anyone else. You are the warrior goddess of Nanyu, after all. Don’t be such a fusspot."

Yao Yin looked at Liu Wenli in amazement. She had not expected the woman to have such a personality. Mo Ling was even more astonished; among the women she had met, none were like Liu Wenli.

Glancing at Liu Wenli, Feng Yuan reverted to his original appearance, shook his hands perplexedly, and said,

"If that’s the case, why did you follow me here, then?"

"I... don’t like owing favors!"

"But what can you help me with?"

"This..."

Liu Wenli fell silent, as Feng Yuan had pointed out, clearly not matching his strength, but after a moment of thought, she responded,

"I can help you strategize, but only once!"

"No need, it’s unnecessary. I have no interest in getting involved in that vortex of power."

"Vortex of power?"

Liu Wenli stared blankly at Feng Yuan, not expecting such a response from him. Mo Li smiled and stepped forward to say,

"Don’t worry about it. He helps and saves people without any reason, acting entirely on his whims."

"What? You think less of me?"

"Not at all. It’s just that you shouldn’t fuss over this matter. Pretend as if nothing happened."

Liu Wenli looked at Feng Yuan with suspicion, only to find him playing with a parrot. Glancing at Wei Dingwu, who had just returned with a somewhat troubled expression, Liu Wenli realized something and said,

"Did you mistake me for her earlier?"

"If that’s what you want to think, I don’t see why not."

"Fine then, if you don’t need my help, I won’t interfere. I hope you don’t regret it later."

Liu Wenli spoke nonchalantly, hoisting her greatsword, and with her telekinetic brown bear, left. Mo Li gave a wry smile, looked at the long spear in his hand, weighed it, and said,

"Are all women from Nanyu Kingdom this fierce?"
