Chapter 205: Doubts abound and it is difficult to distinguish

“Look, this is the Yunmeng Lake!” Lingxiang pointed outside the cave and said when she saw Long Qi coming out of the cave.

Long Qi looked in the direction pointed by Lingxiang, and was immediately shocked by the scenery in front of him. The two of them were just a hill, not a mountain. Looking over there, apart from a hazy area, there was an endless expanse of water. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of flowing water.

The most important thing is, even if he is only at the first stage of foundation building, he can still feel the rich spiritual energy around him. If he practices here for some time, his cultivation will definitely be greatly improved.

However, Long Qi was not overwhelmed by the rich spiritual energy. Although he wanted to achieve success in cultivation as soon as possible to avenge his family’s destruction, he remembered what Ling Xiang had said.

Lingxiang once said that haste makes waste. The more powerful the Yunmeng Marsh is, the more dangerous it is. This is the ancient marshland ruled by Yunzhongjun. There are many gods and monsters in it, and bizarre things are common. If you indulge in it, you may be destroyed.

Long Qi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then turned back to look at Ling Xiang. He always felt that there was something strange about Ling Xiang, but when he saw her smiling face, he felt that she was no different from usual.

Is he worrying too much?
Just as Long Qi was confused, he heard Ling Xiang say, “There are many dangers here. If you don’t take good care of yourself, if you run into danger while looking for other people, I may not be able to take care of you at that time.”

As Lingxiang spoke, she cut the roasted meat with a dagger and handed it to Long Qi.

Long Qi took it suspiciously and stared at the piece of meat in his hand for a long time without taking a bite. Seeing him like this, Lingxiang hurriedly asked him what was wrong.

Long Qi hesitated for a moment before asking, “You are not…”

But just as he said this, he heard footsteps outside the cave. Long Qi immediately became alert, drew out his sword, hid against the wall of the cave, and protected Lingxiang behind him.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it sounded like they had reached the cave entrance. At this moment, Long Qi suddenly swung his sword horizontally, and with a “ding” sound, his sword was actually blocked by the person who came, and the weapon that blocked the sword was actually the double-edged deer horn.

The person who came was none other than Xinyi, and following behind him was his mother, Madam Lu.

Xinyi was full of murderous intent, but she calmed down after seeing Long Qi. Long Qi was also surprised, as he didn’t expect that Xinyi would find him before they went out to look for him.

But why are there only the two of them, mother and son?
It turned out that the few people were together at the beginning, but after falling into the water, they did not expect that there was a whirlpool under the water. Everyone could not withstand the rapid force and they were separated without anyone holding on.

Xin Yi passed out not long after entering the water. Fortunately, Madam Lu found him. He thought of finding a proper place to settle Madam Lu first and then look for other people. Unexpectedly, he met Long Qi and the other two here.

Long Qi was listening to Xinyi’s explanation of the whole story, but he didn’t expect that Lingxiang and Madam Lu started chatting after exchanging a few pleasantries. They seemed to be very familiar with each other. Madam Lu even started eating the piece of meat that Lingxiang handed to Long Qi.

Xinyi found it strange to see their behavior. In his memory, his mother was not the type to get close to others, but why was she so intimate with Lingxiang? This was the first time they met each other.

Seeing Xinyi standing at the entrance of the cave, Madam Lu smiled and called out, “Son! Come quickly, Miss Lingxiang’s cooking skills are really good, come and have a taste.”

Xinyi was about to agree when Long Qi grabbed her clothes. Long Qi gave him a look, then bowed to Madam Lu who was chatting with Ling Xiang and said, “Madam, this place is very safe. With Ling Xiang here, she can protect you. I am a little worried about them, so I will go to look for them with Xinyi. You can wait here for a while. We will be back soon.”

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Lu to say anything, she pulled Xinyi out.

Xinyi didn’t know what happened to Long Qi. He was dragged out before he could tell his mother anything. She knew that Long Qi was impatient, but not rude. It was really strange that he behaved like that.

It was not until the two of them reached the foot of the mountain that Long Qi spoke in a deep voice: “Do you feel something strange?” “What’s strange?” Xinyi also vaguely sensed something, but did not say it clearly.

Seeing him like this, Long Qi laughed and punched him: “How long have I known you? I can see the subtle expression on your face clearly.”

“You must have discovered something unusual.”

Hearing Long Qi’s affirmation, Xin Yi lowered his head and pondered for a moment before speaking out his doubts. It turned out that he felt something was wrong after Madam Lu found him.

In his impression, Mrs. Lu was a quiet person with a cold personality, and she would not get too close to others. But just now, his mother was very talkative, always talking non-stop, as if she wanted to get close to him. And when she met Lingxiang just now, she also acted very familiar with him.

After hearing what Xinyi said, Long Qi expressed his doubts: Lingxiang never eats meat, and since he knew Lingxiang, he had never seen her use any weapons, but Lingxiang actually went out with a small bow on her back, and just now she even used a dagger to cut meat.

But the person in front of him was clearly Lingxiang.

The two looked at each other, both of them had no idea. Could it be that Yunmeng Lake would make the woman become strange?

Not long after Long Qi and Xin Yi left, Madam Lu and Ling Xiang, who were chatting animatedly, suddenly started fighting. Madam Lu’s palm went straight for Ling Xiang’s head, but Ling Xiang was agile and dodged it easily with a flip, and Madam Lu’s palm actually smashed the stone Ling Xiang was sitting on into pieces.

Seeing that her first attack failed, Madam Lu tried again, but no matter how she attacked, Lingxiang could easily dodge it.

“Madam, are you going to test my physical skills? Why don’t we go out and compete with each other? If we are afraid to move here, how can you fully display your skills?” Lingxiang said, and rolled over to avoid Madam Lu’s sweeping kick again.

After hearing this, Madam Lu stopped and frowned, asking, “You can actually dodge my moves, you are not that damn girl!”

Not doubt, but certainty.

Lingxiang smiled upon hearing this: “Madam, what are you talking about? We are both wearing someone else’s skin, why should the eldest brother laugh at the second brother?”

Madam Lu was shocked when she heard this: “You can actually see through me? Who are you?”

Lingxiang chuckled, found a piece of stone and sat down: “It doesn’t matter who I am, what matters is that you don’t want to kill me. Or rather…”

“You are not yet capable of killing me.”

Seeing Lingxiang like this, Madam Lu immediately broke out in a cold sweat. From the previous few moves, she couldn’t even touch this girl’s clothes. It seemed that she was indeed no match for her. If she had not had no intention of killing her, she would have died long ago.

But listening to what she said…

“Just now you said that you were also wearing someone else’s skin. So, did you kill this little girl?”

Lingxiang smiled slyly upon hearing this: “What do you think, Madam? How did you get this skin on?”
