Xi Ning didn't know how Lin An took him away that day, but given the current situation, if they were discovered, would Lin An have a chance of winning if he confronted those people outside alone?

Moreover, they were still in the cave, and the terrain might be unfavorable to Lin An.

As the voices approached, Xi Ning grabbed Lin An's arm and said nervously, "Then what should I do?"

The people outside probably came to him under the order of Fei Luo. If he told them that he went with Lin An on his own initiative, wouldn't there be a fight?

Lin An didn't panic at all, he slowly returned to hold Xi Ning's hand: "What should I do?"

The voice outside stopped not far from the entrance of the cave. It seemed that the head of the group refused to let the dwarf in, telling him that it was important to hurry, and someone beside him echoed, saying that there might be monsters hidden in the cave or something else.

Xi Ning listened carefully, the dwarf muttered something, and the group walked away.

He breathed a sigh of relief, Lin An suddenly leaned over and whispered in his ear: "They are leaving."

Xi Ning was about to nod when he heard Lin An say: "If Your Highness regrets and doesn't want to go back to the tower with me, you can stop them now."

His face was calm, his half-down eyes covered most of his emotions, and Xi Ning was really moved.

It's not that Xi Ning doesn't want to go with him, but if possible, he wants to meet Fei Luo and the others again, at least to let them know that he's fine and don't have to look for him in the woods, just go back quickly.

The system also said that Lin An wanted to lock him up, but after Lin An took him away, he didn't actually force him to do anything. Lin An didn't even dare to kiss him, and only held him to sleep with his permission. Xi Ning felt that Lin An might not be as serious as the system said.

Xi Ning was about to go out of the cave, but he took half a step and took it back to confirm it with Lin An: "Really?"

Lin An stopped talking, straightened up and stood there silently.

Xi Ning suddenly understood, curled her lips and said, "You lied to me."

Lin An picked up a strand of Xi Ning's hair and gently wrapped it around his fingertips: "Your Highness wants to go with them?"

"It's not..." Xi Ning glanced at him and explained: "You have to say hello to them, otherwise what if they can't find anyone and won't leave?"

Lin An had never thought about this issue, and he didn't bother to care about others. He didn't really believe what Xi Ning said, and even if it was true, how could those outside people let him go.

That day he took advantage of other people's unpreparedness to abduct Xi Ning so easily. If he confronted the opponent head-on when the mercenary group was prepared, he might not have a chance of winning.

As long as he returns to his magic tower, he doesn't have to worry about anyone anymore, so it is impossible for Xi Ning to see others now.

Lin An pinched the tip of Xi Ning's chin to make him look up, and said softly, "Be good, Your Highness, and leave others alone, we will be back soon."

Xi Ning slapped his hand away vigorously, and said angrily, "If you don't want to, then you don't want to. Why do you still lie to me?"

Lin An's right hand froze in the air, slowly hanging by his side: "Perhaps I should ask this question."

He still didn't believe that Xi Ning would be willing to go with him, while immersed in the sweetness, on the other hand, he always reminded himself to remain absolutely rational and vigilant.

"You..." Xi Ning realized what he meant, and didn't know what to say right now, so he kicked him angrily, but the force felt like tickling to Lin An, and he didn't even move.

Seeing him like this, Lin An smiled instead. Xi Ning's attitude towards him should be normal. When Xi Ning took the initiative to be intimate with him, he couldn't believe it was true.

Lin An easily restrained Xi Ning and held him in his arms: "Well, Your Highness, you can't beat me, and you have to follow me if you don't want to."

The hard mask rubbing against the neck made Xi Ning uncomfortable, he pushed Lin An's face away: "You're hurting me..."

Lin An raised his head reluctantly. If he didn't have this mask, he still wanted to kiss Xi Ning now. He had kissed Xi Ning once in the woods before, and Xi Ning would probably not refuse him. As for what Xi Ning said, he didn't have his permission. Not allowed to kiss, Lin An has long forgotten.

He rubbed Xi Ning's lips with his fingertips. Seeing his intention, Xi Ning licked his lips deliberately: "You want to kiss me?"

Lin An stared at the looming tip of his tongue, and began to recall yesterday's scene: "Yeah."

"Then take off your mask." Xi Ning wanted to do it himself, but Lin An stopped him, "Let me look at your face, or I won't kiss you."

He knew that Lin An was very concerned about his appearance, and some of Xi Ning's guesses about him before were right, this face made him feel inferior.

Lin An didn't move, Xi Ning hated iron but steel: "What are you afraid of? I don't despise you."

Lin An seemed to be shaken, he reached out and pressed the sides of the mask as if to take it off, Xi Ning waited for a moment, then Lin An put down his hands again.

He took a step back, packed up the unfinished tables and chairs in the cave, lowered his head and said, "They have gone far, let's go too."

Xi Ning had no choice but to respond: "Oh..."

After they got out of the cave, Lin An deduced the direction of the group leader and the others based on their footprints, and took another, shorter path.

The two sides temporarily have different directions, but the purpose is indeed the same, not only them, but also the other group of people.

The head of the group hurried on with his subordinates and a group of guards, and didn't stop to rest until noon. The monsters they encountered on the road during the day were all low-level, and they were not difficult to deal with.

When they were about to leave after a rest, they met the group of magicians and warriors again, which were the people Xi Ning and Lin An saw last night.

The leading magician was Qiu Nian. He was the one who came over to negotiate with Fei Luo and the others before entering the woods. He also recognized the group leader and said in surprise, "Didn't you find something and leave? Why did you come here?"

The head of the regiment was secretly on guard. Judging from the number of people, there were more people on his side, but he couldn't let his guard down. He half-truthfully said: "There is a temporary change, we are here to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Qiu Nian asked suspiciously, "It's not that I don't believe you. If you are also interested in the treasures in the center, you can do it according to your own abilities. There is no need to hide it."

When he said that, the head of the group relaxed a bit, and said with a wry smile: "What are you doing lying to you, I won't say much, anyway, I won't snatch things from you."

The dwarf poked his head out and greeted Qiu Nian: "You guys are going to the center too? But aren't you a little short-handed? There are dangers everywhere here."

Qiu Nian remembered this dwarf, he folded his arms and replied, "Yes, why don't we go together?"

They really don't have enough manpower. Anyway, everyone is going to the same destination, and more people will make them safer. As for the rest, it won't be too late to wait until they find the tower in the center.

The leader showed hesitation, Qiu Nian directly picked up a ball of purple electricity and threw it at a tree not far away. The thick trunk was blackened and cracked where it was hit, and it fell down.

Qiu Nian withdrew his hand, and bowed briefly to the people opposite: "Let me introduce myself again, my name is Qiu Nian, from Huoyuan City, a fifth-level lightning magician."

Thunder magicians are very rare. The head of the group calmed down and looked at Qiu Nian seriously, and said bluntly, "Okay."

The road Lin An chose was more densely treed, and the crowns of the trees grew crowded. No one would be outdone. The trunks below were twisted and crooked, and the ground where the sun did not shine was wet.

Lin An simply put Xi Ning on his back, asked him to put on the hood, and walked through here carefully.

Xi Ning roguely leaned on his shoulder, saw a bit of exposed skin from the edge of his mask, and suddenly found that there was also a little black mark on Lin An's right ear.

He reached out to touch it, Lin An stopped and turned his head: "Don't move."

Hearing what he said, Xi Ning wanted to move, pinched his earlobe to play, and saw a thick black line extending down Lin An's right neck along his neck and skirt, and he didn't know where it ended on his body.

Xi Ning was about to unbutton Lin An's clothes, Lin An stopped after taking a few steps, and pulled Xi Ning back to him.

The ground here is too wet, and the soles of his shoes are covered with mud when he stepped on it. Lin An didn't put Xi Ning down completely, but hugged his waist tightly, letting him step on his shoes.

Lin An singled out one hand to straighten his collar, while looking up at Xi Ning: "Don't move around, I'll let you down when you get out of here."

Xi Ning recalled that when he was alone with Lin An these two days, he really didn't let himself see his face again, obviously he had taken it off at his request when he was in the motorcade.

He wanted Lin An to take off the mask and talk to him, and hooked his neck to get closer: "I want to kiss you, you take off the mask."

Lin An looked at him silently, as if trying to discern the authenticity of his words, Xi Ning also added: "You can't cast spells on me."

Xi Ning touched Lin An's Adam's apple, as if smoothing his hair, and said softly, "OK? Let me kiss you."

Yesterday he still said that he wanted to kiss Xi Ning, but today the two of them seem to have switched identities. Lin An found that he was getting more and more incomprehensible about Xi Ning, always unable to guess what he would do.

At first, when Xi Ning paid attention to him and asked him to take special care of him, he felt that Xi Ning was out of sympathy for him, so what about now?In order for him to dispel his doubts and relax his vigilance, are you even willing to do this?

Lin An pushed the mask up a little, and it just stuck under the tip of the nose. Even if the eyes were covered, it didn't matter. He held the back of Xi Ning's head and kissed it accurately, and forcefully opened his teeth.

Xi Ning couldn't push him away, his face was uncomfortable under the mask, and he bit Lin An several times but he didn't respond at all.

The strength of his struggle gradually became smaller, and finally he condensed a cloud of spiritual energy and patted Lin An. Lin An let out a muffled grunt before letting go of him.

Lin An put on the mask, saw the marks on Xi Ning's face and the aggrieved expression, felt distressed again, stretched out a hand to touch his side face: "Do you still want to kiss?"

Xi Ning was angry and annoyed, while struggling: "You let me go, I won't go back with you!"

"It's not up to you."

Lin An tidied up Xi Ning's cloak and hood, and just hugged him in his arms and walked forward. Xi Ning couldn't break free, and gradually calmed down, leaning against Lin An obediently.

After a long time, Lin An thought that Xi Ning was probably asleep, and suddenly heard him say: "I like you, can't you see it?"

Lin An paused, then continued walking as if he hadn't heard anything.

Xi Ning raised his head: "I'm talking to you."

Lin An didn't answer, walked out of the forest and put him down, leaning against a tree trunk: "I heard."

This was the thing he was looking forward to the most and felt the least likely to happen. When he suddenly heard Xi Ning say it himself, Lin An was not excited at all, his mind was extremely calm, and he quickly analyzed the authenticity of Xi Ning's words.

Lin An even thought of a possibility, whether he was poisoned by the poisonous gas of the surrounding trees when he entered the secluded forest, and now he is indulging in the illusion he wove.

Too calm, Lin An frowned and raised his head: "Let's go, go back to the tower first."

He turned around and left, Xi Ning followed closely behind him, keenly noticed that his walking posture was stiff, the hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched, and the protruding veins could be vaguely seen.

Xi Ning thought it was fun, and reached out to hold him: "Why are you walking so fast?"

Lin An's arms trembled and he stopped, his body became even stiffer: "...it's nothing, I want to go back as soon as possible."

"Why didn't you answer me?" Xi Ning walked around in front of him and carefully looked at his eyes under the mask, "Since you heard everything, why didn't you react at all?"

It's not that Lin An didn't respond, it's just that he thought it was impossible. His brain seemed to automatically find different excuses for Xi Ning's words, and he was completely unwilling to think that what he said was true.

Xi Ning was standing in front of him, the afternoon sun shone on his loose hair, as if it was shining, his eyes were serious and persistent, Lin An felt for a moment that this elf was really showing love to him.

Lin An stood there for a long time, reached out and slowly took off the mask, exposing his face to the sun, and said in a low voice, "Do you think anyone would like this face?"
