The group's favorite little Fubao has become the most arrogant kid in the whole imperial city

Chapter 71 It’s OK, I’ll Find You
What I saw was a secret room, surrounded by iron walls. There was no other way out except the exit I had just seen.

Xiao Mingxuan pursed his lower lips tightly, holding Xihe tightly with one hand, and then walked forward.

"Brother, there should be a mechanism. Let's look for it."

The passage was deliberately left by someone, so the destination cannot be just a secret room with nothing in it. This is unscientific.

"Xiao Xi'er, stand still, I'll come find you."

Xiao Mingxuan cannot guarantee that there is no mechanism here. If it is accidentally touched, that would be a problem.

"Okay~" the little girl nodded with a smile.

As soon as Xiao Mingxuan turned around, Xihe behind him closed her eyes. No one saw the light blue water light rising from her body gradually merging into the surrounding walls.

After a moment, the little girl suddenly opened her eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and revealed a deep smile that was not in line with her age.

She picked up a stone on the ground and quietly threw it out when Xiao Mingxuan was about to reach that position.

Snapped!
The mechanism made a sudden sound and the gears turned. A crack appeared on the wall that was originally as smooth as new. Then the crack became bigger and bigger, and suddenly a passage that people could pass through appeared.

"Wow, that makes sense." Xihe ran over and habitually grabbed Xiao Mingxuan's hand.

Xiao Mingxuan was stunned, but he didn't let go. He held the warmth under his hand tightly, "How did you know there was a mechanism here?"

The two men walked forward. In response to Xiao Mingxuan's words, Xihe laughed dryly twice and opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a word.

After a moment, he asked awkwardly, "Little brother, how did you know..."

"How do you know it's you?" Xiao Mingxuan asked with a hint of smile in his tone.

Xihe nodded.

She obviously had good timing!

"Your timing is indeed good."

Xiao Mingxuan had to admit that the little girl had a very accurate vision and took action the moment his hand touched the wall.

"You have internal strength." Xiao Mingxuan said with certainty: "Or something equivalent to internal strength that can support you in controlling the direction of the stone."

Xihe pouted and asked in disbelief: "Can you feel Du Ling's... internal force?"

How is this possible? People outside the spiritual world cannot possibly feel this thing, so Xihe didn't worry about it.

"No." Xiao Mingxuan denied immediately, "But I can hear the sound."

From the moment he entered the secret room, Xiao Mingxuan paid some attention to Xihe. No matter what the little girl did, he could feel it at the first moment.

Although he could not feel the existence of that internal force, he could hear the sound of stones breaking through the air.

Xihe hung his head, looking dejected, "Little brother, you are so smart."

Xiao Mingxuan stroked her hair and said hesitantly, "Xiao Xi'er, if I hadn't discovered it today, how long would you have kept it hidden?"

Xihe was about to speak when Xiao Mingxuan spoke again.

"As long as no one finds out, will you hide it forever?"

Xiao Mingxuan knew that the little girl was hiding her abilities, but she was hiding too much, and even he couldn't see through it.

"Actually... except for you, no one has discovered it." Xihe was sad, which was a disguised acknowledgement of the other party's statement. "Little brother, just pretend you don't know, okay?"

Xiao Mingxuan did not answer her question, but asked, "Is it that big secret?"

Xihe bit her lower lip and nodded slightly, "Yes, it's a very important secret."

"Why do I remember someone said he would tell me before?" Xiao Mingxu coaxed, staring at the little girl.

"It worked before, but now... it doesn't work anymore."

The little girl suddenly felt like a scumbag. "Can't tell?" Xiao Mingxuan asked.

Xihe was silent for a while, looking a little confused, "It's not that I can't say it, but I'm afraid..."

"Afraid?" Xiao Mingxuan asked.

Xihe nodded, her brows slightly furrowed. She looked less childish and more profound, which was difficult for people to understand. She was like a traveler who had walked for a long time, crossed the earth, and passed through the bustling crowd before standing in front of them.

"Brother... I'm afraid that after I tell you, something bad will happen to you, and others... will also get into trouble."

Xihe originally didn’t think her identity was anything important until the sacred tree appeared.

Every time you make a wish, a note will be attached with the same sentence.

【Don’t say the secrets of heaven are far away, life and death are decided in an instant. 】

She might be fine, but if she leaks the secret and destroys the original balance of this world, will Heaven personally intervene to smooth it all out?

Xihe didn't dare to gamble, let alone gamble with the lives of those she loved.

Xiao Mingxuan watched the little girl's expression change in an instant.

Helpless, confused, and fearful.

This shouldn't be the expression on Xiao Xier's face.

"I won't ask anymore. You don't need to say anything more. Just understand it in your heart." Xiao Mingxuan made the final decision and decided not to continue talking.

Although he was a little anxious about Xihe hiding a secret, he ultimately had no intention of forcing her.

Let's just bury the secrets deep underground. His little Xier should be happy all his life.

"Just one thing, don't lie to me, do you hear me?"

"Okay! I like little brother the most."

The two of them returned to their former intimacy.

Soon the passage came to an end, at the end of which was an abandoned woodshed.

There was a lot of bustle outside the woodshed with people coming and going.

"We... seem to have entered a village?" Xiao Mingxuan roughly determined the direction. "We have to find a way to get out, otherwise the eldest prince and his men won't be able to find us."

It would be useless to search a place without any reason even if Zhao Chengning revealed his identity as a prince.

"Brother, how are we going to get out? There are people everywhere outside."

There was a crack in the window of the woodshed, and Xihe climbed up and looked out quietly. "They seem to be doing something very important. Many people are walking towards there."

Crowds came from all directions and headed in the same direction.

It was already completely dark. Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a while and said, "They should be gathering everyone for something. Let's rest for a while. When everyone has gathered, we can run."

"Okay~" Xihe jumped into Xiao Mingxuan's arms. Perhaps because she was tired from the long journey today, the little girl soon fell asleep on his chest. "Little brother, call me later. I'm so sleepy and want to sleep for a while."

Xiao Mingxuan leaned against the earthen wall of the woodshed and looked out the window through the crack. The tranquility of the night was reflected in his deep eyes. He suddenly asked, "Xiao Xier, if I really fell and died today, what would you do?"

There was no sound in the woodshed for a long time. Xiao Mingxuan looked down and saw that the little girl's eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.

He smiled and then closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a faint sound came to my ears, like the mumbling in a dream.

She said: "...It's okay, I'll go...find you."

Xiao Mingxuan's hands hidden behind his back suddenly tightened, and a sour feeling surged in his heart, which tasted somewhat bitter.
