92: Long lost siblings?

"Want to hitch a ride?"

Hearing this, Mo Fan felt completely thrown off. What the hell kind of suggestive remark was that?

"No thanks, the carriage is more comfortable."

"We haven't seen each other in so long, don't you have anything to say to me? Anything you want to ask?" Lin Yiyi looked at Mo Fan quietly.

Mo Fan frowned. After pondering for a moment, he leaped up and sat on the horse's back.

If she wants me to hitch a ride, then I'll hitch a ride.

Compared to sitting in the same carriage as Xu Wei, that sweaty brute, Mo Fan felt that being with Lin Yiyi was actually pretty nice. At the very least, the air was much fresher.

Besides, he did have some things he wanted to ask Lin Yiyi.

"Giddy up!" Lin Yiyi smiled beautifully, kicked her long legs, and the steed galloped forward.

The sudden acceleration caused Mo Fan to lose his balance, and he leaned forward, pressing against Lin Yiyi's soft, jade-like back.

Feeling the heat on her back, Lin Yiyi's face flushed red to the tips of her ears.

"Ta-take it away..." Lin Yiyi said incoherently.

"Hmm?" Mo Fan was puzzled.

"Take your hand off!" Lin Yiyi glared at him. This guy, was he taking advantage of her on purpose?

Mo Fan smiled sheepishly and quickly removed his hand from Lin Yiyi's soft waist. "My mistake, my mistake."

Lin Yiyi: "..."

On the other side, watching the backs of Mo Fan and Lin Yiyi gradually moving away, Xu Wei looked completely dumbfounded.

"How does this guy Mo Fan know a member of the Demon Suppression Division? Looking at how intimate they are, do they have a thing going on? Damn, this guy is too awesome!"

Xu Wei looked envious. "Comparing people just makes you angry!" When would he be able to ride a horse with such a beautiful woman?

Just then, Li Dong ran over in a panic, panting: "Senior Brother Xu, the Demon Suppression Division guide has run off. Should we... should we follow?"

Xu Wei was stunned, then realized what was happening. He quickly turned around and ordered the others: "Get in the carriage, hurry up and follow!"

Although the base was only 300 kilometers away from Huilong Mountain, the road was extremely dangerous. Without someone familiar to lead the way, they were afraid they would encounter accidents at any time.

Only members of the Demon Suppression Division knew how to travel without alarming the nearby Yao Beasts, and arrive safely at Huilong Mountain.

Thinking of this, Xu Wei jumped onto the carriage, still in the driver's seat. Just as he was about to urge the horses on, Li Dong nimbly climbed up and skillfully sat beside him.

"Senior Brother Xu, you don't mind if I sit here, right?" Li Dong said with a bright smile.

"I-I don't mind." Xu Wei looked at Li Dong beside him, then looked at the two figures in the distance that were about to disappear, and felt like crying. What a tragedy!

...On horseback. Mo Fan asked about some of the small questions in his heart. After getting the answers, Mo Fan roughly understood what was going on.

Finally, Mo Fan pondered and asked the question he cared about most: "Do you have a pendant on you?"

"Yes." Lin Yiyi said without thinking.

"Really?" Mo Fan was taken aback.

"Is there a problem?" Lin Yiyi felt it was inexplicable.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan continued: "Is your pendant made of jade? And does it look like it has a sense of history?"

"How did you know?" Lin Yiyi frowned.

The pendant was left to her by her mother, and she had been wearing it close to her body. How did this guy know?

"Then is your pendant shaped like a small sword?" Mo Fan's breathing became a bit hurried.

When Lin Yiyi left Yuxu Academy that day, Mo Fan had wondered if this person might be his Future Wife.

After all, according to the normal trajectory, without a daughter sending him a pendant, even if he managed to successfully draw Qi into his body by grinding all night, and was lucky enough to become a Utility Disciple of Yuxu Academy, without a cheat, he would have had to spend several years in the Menial Service Yard of Yuxu Academy until he received the token of love from his Future Wife—the pendant—before he could slowly rise.

However, who could he meet in the Menial Service Yard? In this way, Lin Yiyi, who had been undercover at Yuxu Academy for a period of time, seemed to have a certain possibility.

It's just that on the day Lin Yiyi left, Mo Fan was a bit nervous, so he didn't think to ask her any questions. Now—

"Of course not, my pendant is a small knife." Lin Yiyi said.

Hearing this, Mo Fan was stunned. After thinking about it, he said: "Swords and knives sometimes look similar, could you have misidentified it?"

Lin Yiyi drove the horse with one hand while scratching her head: "How should I put it—my pendant can't be a sword, it has to be a knife."

"Why?" Mo Fan asked subconsciously.

"Because its..." Lin Yiyi hesitated.

"What about its shape?" Mo Fan pressed.

"Because its shape is a kitchen knife..." Lin Yiyi said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.

If others knew she was wearing a kitchen knife around her neck, wouldn't she be laughed to death?

"Pfft—" Mo Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't laugh!" Lin Yiyi wanted to hit someone.

"I'm not laughing." Mo Fan said with a straight face.

"Better not be. Hmph!"

"I'm really not laughing, I've undergone strict training." Mo Fan said earnestly.

"That's good." Lin Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief. However— Mo Fan: "Pfft!" Lin Yiyi: "?!!" "And you say you're not laughing?!"

"Hahaha, I really can't help it, you actually hang a kitchen knife around your neck? Hahaha, I can't take it, I'm going to laugh myself into a heart attack—"

"Go to hell!" Lin Yiyi was so angry her teeth hurt. You're the one who's toxic, you insisted on asking! And in the end, you laugh at me? That's too much!

After laughing for a while, Mo Fan collected himself, a look of regret appearing on his face. Wearing a pendant around the neck was too common. He shouldn't get excited too early in the future. But having said that, where exactly was his Future Wife?

Just as Mo Fan was thinking about the future, Lin Yiyi's voice suddenly rang out: "How did you know I had a pendant? And why did you ask if it was sword-shaped?"

Mo Fan's expression tightened, and he said: "Because I also have one, and it happens to be sword-shaped. Maybe we are long-lost siblings."

Hearing this, Lin Yiyi couldn't help but roll her eyes. I'm six years older than you. If I really had a younger brother, wouldn't I know?

Soon, Lin Yiyi realized. This guy really thinks I'm only 18, just like him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yiyi said calmly: "You really have a sword-shaped jade pendant? Let me see it, maybe I really am your sister."

Hearing this, Mo Fan had black lines all over his head and quickly said: "The pendant isn't on me, it's with my Future Wife."

"Tch~" Lin Yiyi didn't want to bother with Mo Fan anymore and focused on the journey.

A moment later, she seemed to think of something and added: "Right, I still owe you a favor. What do you want me to do for you?"

Mo Fan thought about it and said: "I haven't thought of it yet, just keep owing it."

"That works too." Lin Yiyi nodded.

...Two hours later. The two arrived at the foot of a towering mountain. "Neigh—" Lin Yiyi reined in the horse. "We're here, ahead is Huilong Mountain."

"Alrighty." Mo Fan jumped off the horse's back and stretched his muscles.

Soon, the sound of carriages arrived, and Xu Wei led the main force to catch up.

"We've arrived at Huilong Mountain. The Yao Beasts here are usually below the Foundation Establishment Realm. You can handle them yourselves. I still have a mission to attend to, so I won't be going with you."

"Also, don't lose the signal flares you received at the base. Remember to release the signal flare when you return, and someone will come to meet you."

"We in the Demon Suppression Division will keep track of the nearby Yao Beasts' movements at all times. With us leading the way, you won't easily be attacked by Yao Beasts. That's all, farewell."

After speaking, Lin Yiyi patted the horse's back: "Dabai, go back on your own."

If she didn't need to lead the way for others, as someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm, she would be much faster than a horse. Even compared to Dabai, who had Yao Beast Bloodline mixed in.

Sending Dabai back to the base on its own, Lin Yiyi dived into the dense forest without looking back. "See you later." This last sentence was said to Mo Fan. She had her own mission to carry out. Leading the way was just on the side.
