Chapter 952

Chapter 952: Chapter 949 Leaving the Village Chapter 952: Chapter 949 Leaving the Village Shen Luo had originally thought he would stay in the village for a few more days, but early that morning, something unexpected happened.

He was still cultivating in his room when he soon heard someone calling his name.

By the time he came out, before he had a chance to speak, Liu Feixu grabbed him by the sleeve and dragged him to a meeting hall in the east of the village.

Along the way, the sky was gloomy, as if a black lid were covering everything above, stuffy to the point of making it difficult to breathe.

Shen Luo asked Liu Feixu what had happened, but she refused to explain and simply pulled him along.

Upon reaching the meeting hall, Shen Luo saw that quite a few people had already gathered there.

Granny Sun sat at the central wooden table in the hall, with two people draped in cloaks sitting beside her, while the others stood respectfully to the side.

With a glance around, Shen Luo noticed that everyone was surrounding a young girl dressed in pink in the center of the area.

She was in shabby clothing, her hair somewhat disheveled, her complexion pale, and her eye sockets slightly sunken. At that moment, she was crouching on the ground with her arms around her knees, shivering slightly.

“Granny Sun, what is this…” Shen Luo frowned and began to ask.

“Lili'er, lift your head and look. Is this the person who took you away that day?” Granny Sun ignored his question and instead addressed the young girl.

Lili'er? Was this the girl who had disappeared?

“How did she come back?” Shen Luo was extremely surprised in his heart.

As soon as the girl saw Shen Luo, she let out a scream and hurriedly moved closer to Granny Sun.

Seeing this, everyone turned their angry glares towards Shen Luo.

Even Liu Feixu, standing behind him, frowned and a complex expression flashed in her eyes.

Shen Luo looked innocent and was about to speak, when he saw the girl shivering and looking at him cautiously, as if assessing him.

After a while, a hint of bewilderment appeared in the girl's eyes.

She stood up, her movements slow, and came close to Shen Luo, wrinkling her nose and sniffing carefully around him.

Shen Luo, not wanting to startle her, stood still at his spot, cooperating with her.

After a while, the look of terror on Lili'er's face slightly calmed down, and she said in a low voice, “Granny, it's not him. The person who took me away is not him.”

“But where is the evidence?” Granny Sun asked with a slight raise of her eyebrows.

“That day, when that person took me away, I scattered Non-stop Grass seeds on him, hoping to leave a trace as a clue for you,” Lili'er slowly explained.

“But we never found traces of Non-stop Grass,” Liu Feixu interjected.

“The seeds were discovered by him, so they didn't succeed in sprouting. But his body would definitely retain the scent of Non-stop Grass. As you all know, that scent is not easily detected, but it can't be completely removed for at least a year. This man… he doesn't have that scent,” Lili'er continued.

Hearing this, Liu Feixu's gaze inadvertently flashed, as if she also felt some relief.

“What exactly is going on?” Shen Luo couldn't help but ask.

“This is Lili'er, the disciple who disappeared from the village a few days ago. She was found unconscious outside the village early this morning. After waking up, she claimed she was abducted by someone and had been held captive for a long time until today when she managed to escape while her captor was unguarded,” Granny Sun explained.

Hearing this, Shen Luo's brows furrowed as he inquired, “Is it just that simple?”

“What else do you think?” Granny Sun asked, her eyebrows knitted.

“Ahem, nothing, nothing. It's good that she could return. But it's best to investigate and see whether the one who came back is really the same Lili'er,” said Shen Luo after coughing twice.

“What do you mean by that?” Someone beside Granny Sun immediately asked coldly.

Shen Luo merely glanced at her and, unwilling to say much more, shook his head and said, “Now that Lili'er Girl has returned safely, my innocence should be cleared, right?”

“Since Lili'er herself said the person she met on her way was not you, naturally, your suspicion can be ruled out,” Granny Sun spoke.

“So can we leave the village now?” Shen Luo continued.

“Of course, even if you didn't want to leave, we would still have to ask you to do so,” Granny Sun said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help but recall Bai Xiaotian's words from yesterday and felt that Daughter Village seemed to be preparing for something, that something was about to happen here.

But since it likely had nothing to do with him, he didn't bother to think too much about it. After all, he had originally intended to leave this place immediately to

Shen Luo, however, steered the flying boat to land on a barren and uninhabited island in the center of the sea.
