Wu Qinghe raised the Night Pearl and pointed in the direction Li Xiaoran was pointing. Then, he touched that place with a shovel. After a crisp sound sounded, Wu Qinghe was overjoyed.

“Hey, this is a clay jar!”

With that, Wu Qinghe reached out to take it.

“Wait!” Li Xiaoran suddenly stopped him.

She recalled what Su Zheng had been thinking and suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Don’t move. Don’t move at all! Think about it carefully. How can these people know such an important thing?”

When Lin Ning heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he thought of something.

“I’ve lived in Shatai Village for so long. As far as I know, the three heads of Shatai Village don’t trust anyone else at all and there are many things that they won’t reveal. Even when they’re drinking, the three of them won’t reveal anything. Moreover, these three people could hold their liquor very well! If they seemed drunk, it can only be said that they were pretending to be drunk!” This time, everyone was shocked and the way they looked at the pit changed.

Lin Ning thought of something and said, “All of you, retreat. I’ll shoot with an arrow!”

When Li Xiaoran and the other two heard this, they quickly left the pit and walked towards Lin Ning.

After confirming that they were far enough away, Lin Ning took out an arrow and shot it at the clay jar.

There was a noise, then the earthen jar cracked.

However, there was nothing in that clay jar.

Not to mention gold and silver, there wasn’t even a single stone.

After Wu Qinghe craned his neck to take a look, he asked in confusion, “That’s strange. Why is there nothing inside?” Lin Ning snifled and frowned.

“Do you guys smell something?! A very faint smell!”

Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue looked at Lin Ning.

Li Xiaoran asked, “Is it the smell of the coriander we brought just now?”

Lin Ning said, “No, no! I can tell the smell of the pill we brought with us, but this is a new smell. It’s very faint. If not for my sharp sense of smell, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to smell it!”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “It must have something to do with this clay jar! There’s no time to lose. Let’s leave quickly with our people!”

The others nodded, so the four of them turned around and returned to the pit.

Lin Ning carried her mother on his back while Wu Qinghe dragged Su Zheng’s corpse out with a wooden board.

When the group came out of the underground tunnel, Luo Cheng was already waiting at the entrance of the cave.

Li Xiaoran pounced on Luo Cheng as she asked happily, “Husband, why are you here? Has the matter at Shatai Village been resolved?”

When Luo Cheng saw that Li Xiaoran had returned safely, he caught her and smiled happily.

“Are you that happy to see me?

“Of course! What can be better than walking out of the darkness and seeing the person you love at first glance?” Li Xiaoran smiled and leaned her head on Luo Cheng’s chest.

To be honest, when she heard the rhythmic heartbeat in Luo Cheng’s chest, no matter what she exDerienced. she instantlv recovered.

When Luo Cheng felt Li Xiaoran’s intimacy, he suddenly smelled something.

“Li Xiaoran, did you touch anything after you went in?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion, “Why do you say that?”

“You smell!”

Li Xiaoran was shocked when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“Lin Ning said the same thing just now!” With that, Li Xiaoran turned to look at Lin Ning.

When Lin Ning, who was carrying his mother, heard their conversation, he said seriously,

“We still smell like that?! I thought it would disappear after we came to a place with better ventilation, but it didn’t! There’s still that smell on the few of us!” Luo Cheng immediately became vigilant.

“How about this? Hurry up and go to the village. We’ll boil some hot water and I’ll pick some herbs. Then, take a medicinal bath and change your clothes!” The others nodded and followed Luo Cheng towards Shatai Village.

At this moment, the people of Shatai Village had already been locked up. Luo Cheng also asked Zi Zheng to go down the mountain to find the officials to take over.

The people from Shatai Village definitely couldn’t stay here. They had to investigate everything to see if there were more crimes and victims. Then, they would be convicted according to the law.

Luo Cheng didn’t know how to deal with Shatai Village’s aftermath, so he still had to consider it.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran and the others arrived at a relatively clean house and found a few clean new wooden basins. Then, they brewed medicine and took a shower.

After Li Xiaoran came out of the bathtub, Luo Cheng still smelled the faint fragrance.

“It seems that you’ve been poisoned by some kind of tracking incense! We have to use a special method to remove it!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she thought for a moment and said, “Actually, this might not be a bad thing! Hasn’t Third Master Xue been tracking Yu Baifeng? Since we have tracking incense on us, perhaps we can lure those people to look for us!”

“No, it’s too dangerous!” Luo Cheng shook his head. “No, I have to resolve this problem!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she smelled herself. There was no smell!

On the other side, Lin Ning had also settled his mother down.

Jiang Qiniang also took a medicine shower. Shu Ruyue helped her shower.

However, when Shu Ruyue brought Jiang Qiniang out, Lin Ning still smelled it. “It’s useless! The potion is useless. It seems that I have to think of another way!”

At this point, Lin Ning also began to worry.

He was only good at archery and wasn’t good at anything else. He could only hope that someone else could get rid of this smell.

At this moment, Jiang Qiniang woke up.

When she saw that the person sitting in front of her was her son, Lin Ning, she remained silent and expressionless.

“Mother, you’re awake? How do you feel now?”

Jiang Qiniang felt too ashamed to face her son, so she closed her eyes and remained silent.

Seeing this, Lin Ning became a little anxious. However, he didn’t know what was going on and could only look at Shu Ruyue anxiously.

Shu Ruyue could understand Jiang Qiniang’s thoughts, so she said, “Go find Xiaoran! Tell them about the smell on us. They’ll definitely be able to think of a way! I keep feeling that the fragrance on us is a little similar to tracking incense. I wonder how to remove this fragrance! If this smell can’t be removed, I’m afraid we’ll be tracked down no matter where we go!”

Lin Ning asked, “You mean that Su Zheng and the others left a tracking incense on us so that the faction behind them can find us at any time?”

Shu Ruyue said, “That’s right. I think that’s what it means! It seems that we’ll have to run for our lives!”

Jiang Qiniang, who had her eyes closed, opened them and asked, “What tracking incense?”
