Chapter 673: Chapter 672: His Body, As If Shrouded in Its Own Light

"The tracks have been cleared."

Xiaoyao had not walked long into the woods when the footprints vanished.

She stopped, turning back to look at Feng Yexuan, "However, one thing is certain, Prince, your fifth brother is fine; they’ve regrouped with the team."

Feng Yexuan said nothing, staring at the path ahead.

Xiaoyao continued to search around, finding that the tracks had been meticulously cleaned.

It seemed that the other party was also an expert in this field, extremely professional.

"Didn’t you say your fifth brother always keeps out of world’s strife? Yet he has capable people under him!"

"Not necessarily my brother’s men."

"So you’re saying, it was that woman’s people?" Xiaoyao grew more curious about the Grand Princess of Longteng Country from the legends.

But now was not the time to discuss this; she needed to remind him, "Prince, you’ve been away from the Imperial City for a whole day and night."

It was nearly the second evening.

He was busy with official duties, and his sudden departure meant he must have left things unattended.

"If we continue searching, we may find them, but it will take some time. Prince, if you should..."

"Keep looking." He wouldn’t feel at ease until he had personally confirmed Wuya was safe and sound.

Wuya had undergone surgery not long ago, and although he had been recuperating for over a month, he still needed time to recover for someone who had had heart surgery.

Lili had said that he must not engage in combat for three months.

But evidently, he had.

Xiaoyao nodded, said nothing, and continued to lead the way.

Although the tracks had been cleared, with her tracking skills, she could still find some clues.

It was just not as easy as before.

Especially since the ground had been cleaned very thoroughly, they could now only look at the leaves and bushes along the road to see if any traces had been left behind.

Feng Yexuan was still walking behind her.

Watching her busy figure looking here and there, his gaze could hardly be diverted from her.

The serious look of the pesky girl, while not pretty, had a special charm that made one unable to look away.

A kind of aura that seemed to radiate light from within...

"Be careful!" Suddenly, Feng Yexuan’s eyes darkened, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbing her and yanking her back.

"Ugh!" Xiaoyao almost rolled her eyes.

But this time, it wasn’t because she was in a bad mood and wanted to give him a dirty look, but because... could this guy be less rough? He always grabbed her at the back of her collar.

Especially this time, because of the force he used, her neck was squeezed, almost suffocating her to the point of rolling her eyes back and keeling over!

"There’s something on the ground!" Feng Yexuan dropped her down.

Xiaoyao only then noticed that she had almost stepped on that thing.

"Poison needles!" Damn it, because she was too focused on finding traces of Feng Wuya and his party, she’d nearly fallen victim to it!

Who had set the poison needles?

Xiaoyao stood behind Feng Yexuan, vigilant of their surroundings together with him.

Soon, Xiaoyao’s complexion changed, "Prince, I smell a very strange odor."

"The stench of decay?" Feng Yexuan’s eyes were cold.

Xiaoyao nodded, instinctively moving a half step closer to him.

That odor was nauseatingly revolting, but most importantly, it carried the scent of death within the rot.

That smell was getting stronger...

"Medicine Man."

Feng Yexuan glanced at her; this girl probably had never experienced the terror of Medicine Men.

He extended his hand.

Xiaoyao suddenly screamed, "Don’t grab the back of my collar. Just now, I nearly suffocated to death because of it."

Feng Yexuan’s hand, which was originally heading for her collar, paused, a flicker of disdain crossing his eyes.

But in the end, he stretched out his long arm and held her in his arms, "We’re surrounded! Hold on tight, and follow me to break out!"
