Although Lime usually appears to have little presence, I know that both Xianxian and I are always aware of him. Not only because he has the most charm among us, but more importantly, he is our brother, a brother who has gone through life and death with us!
So when I heard about this, I was stunned. These days, Lime has been quietly following us, rarely saying anything. Every day he either meditates or practices martial arts. Sigh, I didn't expect... he really couldn't wait, did we hold him back?
Sigh... Xianxian let out a long sigh, flopping onto the sofa, and said, "Well, he runs fast. When This Lord finds him, I will definitely give him a good lesson. Seriously, if you're going to leave, at least leave a message. Just leaving like this makes it seem like a spontaneous trip!"
"Heh heh, give him a lesson? How are you going to teach him?" I found it amusing and sat down on the sofa as well, weakly asking. Does Xianxian want to point at Lime's nose for a lecture? Or maybe while Lime sits on the sofa meditating, Xianxian walks back and forth in front of him with hands on hips for a lesson? Ugh, it just feels so out of place no matter how I think about it!
Xianxian was also taken aback, blinking his eyes and laughing awkwardly, "No matter what, this person still needs to be taught a lesson."
"I wonder who will 'teach' whom?" I glanced at Xianxian, emphasizing the word "teach."
Upon hearing this, Xianxian jumped up angrily and said fiercely, "Even though I can't beat him now, one day I'll make him unable to get up!"
I suppressed my laughter and stood up to pull Xianxian up.
"What are you doing? I'm selling my body but not my skills!" Xianxian crossed his arms and looked at me suspiciously as if guarding against a thief, refusing to get up.
I looked seriously into his eyes and continued pulling his arm, "Come on, I'm taking you to get some medicine."
"Get lost! I'm not sick!" Xianxian said as he tried to kick me.
"Why are you giving up on treatment?" I lunged at him and grabbed his neck; we were wrestling fiercely, neither willing to back down.
...
"Uh, Master Xian, Brother Feng, what are you two doing? Can't you talk it out? Why are you fighting?" Wang Yi walked in with an awkward expression, followed by Snow Princess and Fu Song.
I casually adjusted my clothes and sat down beside them, asking, "What's going on?"
Xianxian showed no signs of embarrassment, simply tidying up her clothes before smiling flirtatiously and waving at Snow Princess, "Come here, darling."
Snow Princess walked over with a helpless expression, while Wang Yi couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "Well, it's not a big deal. It's just that the one with the surname Wu asked us when we would go over."
"Oh, tomorrow then." I had already informed the others about Wuma You's contact details; after all, it was more convenient to communicate with a larger group.
"And also..." Wang Yi seemed a bit regretful as he glanced at us and whispered, "The matter of Brother Qing leaving might have something to do with me!"
Xianxian was taken aback, looking up at Wang Yi in disbelief, and asked, "You didn't scare him off with your beastly nature, did you?"
"Pfft, Fairy, you really love to joke!" Snow Princess laughed and fell into Xianxian's embrace, looking quite enchanting.
In an instant, Wang Yi's face turned a deep shade of red as if recalling something extremely embarrassing. He quickly said, "Master Xian, how can you still joke about this? Even if I'm bold, I shouldn't provoke Brother Qing!"
Perhaps sensing my confusion, Xianxian couldn't help but hug Snow Princess while explaining to me, "Once, Wang Yi got drunk and his beastly nature came out... Haha." As the leader, Xianxian laughed heartily without any decorum.
I frowned and facepalmed in disbelief, asking Xianxian, "Where's your decorum?"
Xianxian innocently looked up at me with a puzzled expression. "What is decorum? Can you eat it?"
"Alright, alright, Wang Yi, didn't you say that Lime's departure might be related to you? Did you say something?" After laughing, Snow Princess calmed down and asked Wang Yi.
With great helplessness and resentment, Wang Yi glanced at the person laughing without restraint before sitting down across from me. He said, "This morning when I answered the phone, Brother Qing was still practicing swordplay in the yard. But after I finished talking, I found that Brother Qing was gone. At that time, I didn't think much of it and went about my business. Who knew he hasn't come back since? No one knows where he went!"
"What did you say on the phone?" I asked.
Wang Yi scratched his head. "Well, our main task in the League of Shadows is to investigate the expedition team from over twenty years ago. They called to tell me that Twenty Years Ago Feng Yuanliang indeed went out with a group of friends; it's very likely that they were that expedition team!"
"Oh?" Xianxian raised her eyebrows. "So you're saying that guy left because he heard about the expedition team?"
"I think so too, but why didn't he leave earlier? Didn't he already know about the expedition team?" Snow Princess asked in confusion.
No! I was taken aback, exchanging a glance with Xianxian, both of us showing surprise. Lime might not have known about the expedition team before! Not to mention that only I, Xianxian, and Snow Princess had seen that letter; Lime had never formally participated in any discussions regarding The League of Shadows. So, it was indeed possible that this was the first time he was hearing about it! But what did the expedition team have to do with Lime? At that time, Lime probably hadn't even been born yet, right?
"Have we found any information on the members who participated in the expedition?" After forcing myself to calm down, I asked.
"We're investigating," Gao Liang replied. "It's been over twenty years; even ten years would be hard to trace. That expedition team was formed quietly, and almost no one knew about it. Moreover, they kept their secrets very well. To investigate, we need to start with Feng Yuanliang."
I nodded, feeling somewhat anxious. Although I had never seen my father in action, I knew he was extremely meticulous in his work. Trying to uncover something he deliberately hid would be as difficult as reaching the sky!
"We will find out," I murmured.
"Alright, alright, let's not think about these brain-teasing matters tonight. Come on, let's relax and play some cards!" Xianxian said enthusiastically and pointed at me. "Just us four: Fengfeng, Wang Yi, Gao Liang."
"Fine." I glanced at him helplessly; honestly, playing cards to unwind wasn't a bad idea.
……
Early the next morning, we drove to Poyang Lake. Sure enough, the meeting point with Pei Zi and the others was at a hotel near Old Master Temple in Dandong.
As soon as we met, Wuma You excitedly approached me, patting my shoulder vigorously. "Brother Feng! Long time no see! How have you been? Hey, this person looks so familiar!" When he saw Xianxian, a look of caution and fear suddenly appeared in his eyes. I suddenly remembered that during our time in Heizhugou's tomb, Xianxian's side had been our enemy—fierce and formidable.
No wonder Wuma You was surprised; even Pei Zi and Cold Snow, who arrived shortly after, were taken aback when they saw Xianxian and looked at me in confusion.
I was just about to explain when Xianxian stepped forward with a half-smile and an enigmatic demeanor, sneering coldly. "You all made it easy for me to find you!"
"What do you want?" Wuma You swallowed hard and took a few steps back out of fear from the aura emanating from Xianxian.
Xianxian crossed her arms and continued to smirk. "You haven't forgotten what you did back then, have you?"
Several people seemed puzzled, as if they were trying hard to recall whether they had done something wrong to Xianxian back then. I found this amusing and pulled Xianxian to the back, smiling at Pei Zi, "Don't listen to his nonsense; he hasn't taken his medicine today. So, it's been a while since we last met. Aren't you going to invite us in to chat?"
Pei Zi reacted quickly, immediately understanding my relationship with Xianxian now. He shook his head with a helpless smile and said, "I've already booked a room for you. Why don't we go to my room and catch up?"
"Sure," I replied with a smile.
Xianxian muttered a few words behind me, expressing her dissatisfaction that he wasn't teasing them enough. I completely ignored her and followed Pei Zi and the others to his room.
When I went to Heizhugou with Pei Zi that day, he had four people with him. After the unexpected deaths of Da Meng and Xiaoshan, only Wuma You and Cold Hole Girl were still alive. Now that we met again, I noticed that aside from these two, Pei Zi had two more men with him. It seemed they really enjoyed teaming up in groups of five!
"You must know Xiaoxue and the old witch," Pei Zi began introducing the other two as we entered the room. He pointed to a burly man with a fierce appearance and said, "This is Peng Long; we all call him Big Dragon. He's very strong. And the other one..."
Following Pei Zi's gaze, I saw a dark-skinned man with a sharp face grinning as he introduced himself, "I'm Liu Xiong; they all call me Black Bear. You can call me Black Bear too, hehe."
"Hello, I'm Feng Zi, and this is Xianxian," I introduced everyone else to Pei Zi.
When it was Wang Yi's turn, he boldly interjected with a rough demeanor, "I'm Wang Yi; you can call me Brother Wang!"
"Brother Wang has some impressive muscles! The people I admire most are those with muscles! Big Dragon, what do you think? Are your muscles comparable to Brother Wang's?" Black Bear laughed, looking even more lewd. However, this title made Wang Yi beam with joy as he laughed heartily, "Muscles? That's nothing! We have a few over there without muscles, and I still can't beat them!"
"Ah, I wonder who they are?" After a few exchanges, I realized Black Bear was also quite sociable. Although he had dark skin and a sharp face that made him look untrustworthy, I had to admit he was clever; one could see a glimmer of intelligence in his twinkling eyes.
Wang Yi laughed heartily and didn't find anything embarrassing about what he said. He gestured towards me and Xianxian and remarked, "Far away in the sky but close at hand."
