Chapter 219 The mission is the most important

Lu Yu raised his eyes and looked around. Luo Shen quickly understood and said, "That is to say, something is really going to appear in the Sunset Forest."

"In order to prevent anyone from plotting against him, a more powerful sect or organization has set up an illusion here."

"The purpose is to make those who come to compete with them for the treasure be trapped to death in the illusion and unable to start snatching?"

Lu Yu speculated: "What you said makes sense, but it may not be other people. There are many soul beasts in the Sunset Forest."

"Or maybe it's a protective mechanism activated by the forest and the soul beasts in the forest to prevent others from making plans."

Luo Shen nodded: "So that's the case... Then how do we get out of here now?"

Lu Yu expressed his guess: "I found that no matter how we go, the range is so small, or this illusion can only trap people in a small space."

"If we go beyond this range, we can get out of the secret realm."

"We will hold hands and rush out together in a moment. Just close your eyes and run forward. Trust me, okay?"

"Otherwise, I definitely won't let you try it alone, nor will I leave you here. I'll be worried... It's better for us to go together."

Luo Shen was still a little worried, but when she saw Lu Yu's serious expression, she paused and nodded, because if they were trapped here forever, the final outcome would be death.

It would be better to do as Lu Yu said, and try to push outside together. Maybe they can get out. Even if they don’t get out, it will just hurt a little.

Of course, Lu Yu would not be so stupid as to let the two of them collide with their bodies. He attached the Vajra Mantra to his body, then took Luo Shen's hand and ran straight forward.

Even though there was a big tree in front of him, he did not stop for a moment, but rushed straight towards the tree. When they rushed to the big tree, the expected pain did not come.

On the contrary, the two of them actually crashed out from here, and the scenes they had seen before all disappeared. Luo Shen said excitedly: "Lu Yu, we really got out!"

But after coming out, the two were surprised to find that the sky outside had turned dark again. Had they been trapped in the illusion for so long? It didn't feel like a long time...

Lu Yu guessed: "I guess the illusion just now had the effect of slowing down time."

"The purpose is to keep the foreign invaders inside for a longer period of time, so that they can stay there for a longer period of time."

Luo Shen nodded: "No matter who set up this illusion, it is really thoughtful enough."

"Even if people come out of the illusion, they have already wasted so much time without realizing it."

"The treasure they wanted may have already been taken away by someone else. They don't have any chance at all."

Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh. The path of cultivation is so bumpy and difficult. Everyone wants to obtain the best cultivation resources and soul rings to improve their strength.

Apart from those true geniuses and the chosen ones from the major families and clans, how could other soul masters be so lucky as to obtain these resources and help?

At this time, Lu Yu and Luo Shen found a place nearby. Lu Yu lit a small bonfire. He made a lot of grilled fish in advance and put them in his space soul guide.

The purpose is to satisfy hunger while searching for spirit rings in the Sunset Forest... since it has been prepared in advance, it can be eaten after being slightly heated.

So after roasting for a while, the aroma of the roasted fish filled the air and sizzling oil began to appear on the fish again. Lu Yu carefully handed the fish to Luo Shen beside him.

He also picked up another skewer and started eating. When they had eaten half of the fish, they suddenly heard a noise nearby. They both looked towards the direction where the sound came from.

Lu Yu had even begun to be on guard. Who knew what might have suddenly come? What if it was another soul beast of hundreds of thousands of years old? He would have to take Luo Shen away first.

But at this moment, a young man stumbled out from the bushes nearby. He had golden hair, and although he looked a little disheveled when he came out, he looked very calm and generous.

There were many guards around him, and it seemed that he had just walked out of the illusion. Lu Yu raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, the person who came was him - Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Tiandou Empire.

It seems that many forces have already rushed to the Sunset Forest... However, Lu Yu looked him up and down with a playful look in his eyes. Xue Qinghe should have already arrived by now.

The person who appeared in front of everyone now should be Qian Renxue who had been carefully disguised and Xue Qinghe who was deliberately dressed up... This little girl has always been a person who puts profit above all else. No one expected that the two of them would meet in this way in this life.

The guards who followed Xue Qinghe one after another all had happy smiles on their faces, but the leader of the guards had a frown on his face and a look of worry on his face, and spoke to the man in front of him respectfully but with a little reproach.

"Your Highness, you should know how noble your status is. How could you do such a reckless thing?"

"If you were really in danger just now, what should we do?"

"Next time, if there is anything dangerous, please let us serve you and don't do it yourself."

Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes, then turned back to look at the guards with a smile on his face: "I was just anxious just now, and wanted to see if I could get out, I didn't think too much about it."

"I'm sorry to have made you worry about me then, but don't worry, this won't happen again next time."

"But this smell is really fragrant..."

As Xue Qinghe spoke, his eyes turned in the direction of Lu Yu and Luo Shen. The expression on his face was very gentle, and he seemed to have a strong affinity and was not offensive.

"So you two friends are grilling fish here. I would like to thank you both for your help."

As he spoke, Xue Qinghe walked towards Lu Yu and Luo Shen with a smile on his face. Seeing this, the guards behind him hurriedly followed and protected him on both sides.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and didn't say much when he saw this very talkative prince who didn't have any airs. The guards on the side saw that Lu Yu and Luo Shen didn't move, and their faces were full of displeasure.

The leader of the guards said sternly, "This is our Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire. You two have seen this, why don't you show your respect?"

Hearing the guard's words, Luo Shen's beautiful eyebrows knitted together, while Xue Qinghe waved his hand and said with a gentle smile: "Don't be so harsh. If they hadn't grilled fish here, the smell of grilled fish would have drifted into the illusion."

"We may still be unable to get over it, so we should be thanking them."

When the guard heard Xue Qinghe's words, he bowed respectfully, said nothing more, and stepped back... Lu Yu thought to himself: Keep pretending, you are really good at pretending, and you have been pretending for so many years.

But I have to say that with your appearance, gentle attitude, and noble status, any woman would be dazzled by you.

Xue Qinghe felt a little uneasy when he was looked at by Lu Yu, and thought to himself - what's wrong with this guy, why is his smile so weird?

Why do I have a feeling that I am seen through by him? I feel uneasy... No, it's impossible. It must be that I am under too much mental pressure and too nervous.

No one could possibly know his biggest secret, and he had always disguised it very well. Even the Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire had not discovered anything different about him. So how could this young man, whom he met for the first time, tell the difference?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt relieved, and his face still had that gentle smile: "Little brother's grilled fish is really delicious. Not only did it save my life, but it also made me hungry just by smelling it."

"I just don't know if you have any extra grilled fish, could you give me one?"

After saying this, Xue Qinghe seemed to feel a little embarrassed. After all, it was not appropriate to ask someone for food when meeting them for the first time.

But the smell was indeed very fragrant, and he subconsciously expressed his thoughts to the guards around him... Your Highness the Crown Prince, have you never eaten delicious food?

Lu Yu also didn't expect that Qian Renxue would be so approachable when pretending to be Xue Qinghe, which was completely different from her own personality.

However, he had a lot of grilled fish in stock, so it wouldn't be a problem if he gave one to the other party. Just as Lu Yu was about to speak, the leader of the guards on the side said to Xue Qinghe with disapproval.

"Your Highness, you are the heir to our Tiandou Empire. You must be careful about the food you eat."

"Not all food is for you to taste. If they poison it... the consequences will be disastrous."

Seeing that the guards spoke to him without reservation, Lu Yu was speechless - please, they were the first to appear here, who knew that people from your Tiandou Empire would show up?

And he didn't avoid talking to me at all. Is this really okay? Xue Qinghe obviously didn't take these things to heart. He smiled and waved his hand.

"I know you're worried about me, but since I'm lucky enough to meet this little brother, and his grilled fish is so delicious."

"I think there's absolutely no problem eating one, and the little brother won't hurt me at all, don't you think, brother?"

Lu Yu looked at Xue Qinghe, who was looking at him with a smile on his face, and was speechless in his heart - what's the point of you asking me this question now?

You two have said everything you need to say, so what can I say? And why do you think I will grill fish for you? Did any of you ask for my opinion before you decided on these things?

"Uh...if you want to eat grilled fish, there's a pond not far away. You can go catch it yourself. We caught it there, too."

"And as you can see, we have now finished all the grilled fish."

As he spoke, Lu Yu stretched out his hands, looking helpless... Just as they were talking, Lu Yu and Luo Shen did not stop talking.

The grilled fish had been eaten clean by them, leaving only a fish bone.

After hearing Lu Yu's words, Xue Qinghe turned his head and looked around them, only to find that there was really nothing nearby, which made a look of disappointment flash across his face.

Although he demonstrated very well and hid his expression quickly, he was still discovered by Lu Yu. He didn't expect that this little girl also likes delicious food. Was she so disappointed that she didn't get to eat grilled fish?

In fact, according to Lu Yu's previous idea, he was going to give him a grilled fish. After all, a grilled fish was nothing special, and he had grilled a lot of it himself.

Moreover, the woman in front of him will become his woman in the future, so there is nothing wrong with feeling sorry for her.

But later, Lu Yu heard what the guards said, which made him very unhappy, so he temporarily changed his mind - after all, it was Qian Renxue who was deliberately disguising herself.

They were members of the royal family of the Tiandou Empire, and they would not treat him harshly, so Lu Yu decisively rejected their request.

No one expected that Lu Yu would actually refuse. Even Luo Shen on the side turned her head and looked at him in surprise. After all, Luo Shen had already noticed Lu Yu's intention to share it with the other party.

Why did this guy suddenly change his mind? Luo Shen looked at the people in front of him with some curiosity. Could it be that they had done something to anger Lu Yu?

Unable to figure out the reason, Luo Shen did not say anything. Anyway, he was full. As for the rest, Lu Yu would naturally solve it... Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yu with interest. He didn't know why, but he always felt that this person was very interesting.

He really wanted to have a good chat with this person, but the blind guard leader beside him interrupted what Xue Qinghe wanted to say: "Your Highness, let's find a place to rest first."

"If you want to eat fish, I will ask the guards to catch some for you later. Our mission is the most important now..."

The rest of the words were not spoken by Shui, but Xue Qinghe came to his senses instantly. He came to the Sunset Forest this time not to play, but to do serious business.

Thinking of this, he could only look at Lu Yu with regret, and suddenly he was stunned - why was he completely attracted to this man when he met him?

He actually wanted to make friends and chat with him, and even forgot about the mission. No, this is not his character. Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe looked at Lu Yu opposite him again. He was not going to delay any longer.

In his heart, he didn't think that Lu Yu and Luo Shen had the same goal as himself. After all, several major families, the empire and the Spirit Hall had received the news and all formed teams to head towards the Sunset Forest. Their purpose was self-evident, and they were naturally preparing to snatch the treasures in the forest.
