Lu Yuan looked at her with more and more doubts in his heart. He suddenly said: "Ling'er, can I see your back?"
Ye Ling'er's expression changed and she stood up suddenly: "What did you say?"
Lu Yuan also realized that his words were a bit abrupt, and quickly explained: "Ling'er, don't get me wrong, I just... just want to confirm something."
Ye Ling'er stared at him closely, her eyes full of vigilance: "What exactly do you want to confirm?"
At this time, Ye Qianmo and Mo Chen also noticed something unusual here and came over.
Ye Qianmo asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Lu Yuan looked at Ye Ling'er and then at Ye Qianmo, hesitated for a moment, and then expressed his doubts: "Qian Mo, I think Ling'er may not be the real Ling'er."
Ye Qianmo's eyes widened: "What nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible?"
Lu Yuan said hurriedly: "I also hope that I am overthinking, but Ling'er's behavior is too abnormal. Moreover, I asked you if there are any marks on her body, just to confirm."
Ye Qianmo's face became solemn, and she looked at Ye Ling'er: "Sister, is what he said true?"
Ye Ling'er bit her lip: "Sister, you have to believe me, I am Ling'er."
Ye Qianmo frowned: "Then let Lu Yuan take a look at your back. If there is really a birthmark, it can prove your identity."
Ye Linger lowered her head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan became more sure of his guess: "Ling'er, why don't you let me see it? Are you really hiding something from us?"
Ye Ling'er suddenly raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Okay, since you don't believe me, then I'll let you see."
Ye Ling'er slowly turned around, facing away from everyone. She gently lifted her top, revealing her fair and smooth back. Under her left shoulder blade, a red birthmark that was as bright as blood suddenly came into view. The shape was like a blooming manjusana, which was delicate and mysterious.
The moment Lu Yuan saw the birthmark, a complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart. He felt a little embarrassed for his previous unfounded speculation, but also felt that things were not that simple.
His intuition told him that there must be some unknown secrets hidden in Ye Linger's body, although the birthmark in front of him seemed to prove her identity.
After Ye Qianmo saw the birthmark, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face. She walked forward, patted Ye Ling'er's shoulder lightly, and said, "Sister, I knew you were Ling'er. It's my sister's fault that made you feel wronged."
Ye Ling'er turned her head, with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I don't blame you. I know you are also doing it for my own good."
Mo Chen also smiled and said: "Yes, Miss Ling'er, we are just worried about you. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, it will be fine."
Lu Yuan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Miss Ling'er, I'm sorry, I was too worried."
Ye Ling'er shook her head slightly: "It's okay, Brother Lu Yuan. You are also thinking about everyone's safety."
Although Ye Ling'er's identity seemed to be confirmed, the doubts in Lu Yuan's heart had not completely dissipated. He always felt that there seemed to be something elusive hidden in Ye Ling'er's eyes, and that feeling made him feel uneasy.
In order to break the slightly awkward atmosphere, Lu Yuan changed the topic. He looked at Ye Qianmo and asked, "Qianmo, what are your plans after we escape from the Netherworld Palace?"
Ye Qianmo was stunned for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on her face. She reached out and gently put her arm around Ye Ling'er's shoulders and said, "As long as my sister is here, home is everywhere."
"Now I just want to take my sister to find a quiet place, live a good life, and keep her away from the disputes and dangers." Ye Ling'er leaned in Ye Qianmo's arms, her eyes full of happiness and dependence.
"Sister, I listen to you."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel moved when he saw the two sisters relying on each other.
He thought of his family and friends, as well as the hardships and tribulations he had experienced in this troubled world.
He knows how happy and precious it is to be with the one he loves in this turbulent world.
"Then have you decided where to go?" Mo Chen asked.
Ye Qianmo shook his head: "Not yet. We plan to stay in this valley for a while to see the situation. There is plenty of spiritual energy here, which is very suitable for cultivation. It will not be too late to make plans when our strength improves."
Lu Yuan nodded: "Well, this is indeed a good place. However, we cannot take it lightly. The people in Netherworld Palace will definitely not give up. They will definitely send people to find our whereabouts."
"That's right." Mo Chen also agreed: "We still have to be more cautious and be more vigilant."
Ye Qianmo said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will protect my sister. If people from Netherworld Palace dare to come, I will let them come back."
Ye Ling'er raised her head and looked at Ye Qianmo's firm eyes, her heart filled with emotion and confidence. "Sister, I will also work hard to practice, and I won't let you worry about me anymore."
Everyone rested in the valley for a while and then continued to set off.
Along the way, Lu Yuan always remained vigilant and paid attention to the movements around him.
There was always a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark.
As they continued deeper into the valley, the surrounding environment became more and more complex.
The dense woods cover the sky and the sun, and the ground is covered with thick leaves and dead branches. If you are not careful, you will step on the trap.
There is a damp smell in the air, making people feel a little stuffy.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan stopped. He pricked up his ears and seemed to hear some subtle noises. "Everyone, be careful, something seems to be approaching."
Everyone immediately became alert, clenching their weapons and looking around. Ye Qianmo closed his eyes, released his spiritual consciousness, and tried to sense the surrounding situation.
After a while, Ye Qianmo opened his eyes suddenly, his face becoming very ugly. "No, it's the people from Netherworld Palace who are chasing us."
Everyone's hearts tightened, they knew that a fierce battle was coming.
"Don't panic, everyone, let's find a place to hide." Lu Yuan said calmly.
Everyone acted quickly and found a hidden cave nearby. They hid in the cave, held their breath, and waited quietly for the people from Netherworld Palace to pass by.
After a while, a group of people wearing black robes appeared in the valley. They all had stern expressions on their faces, and their eyes revealed a strong murderous intent. The leader was a tall man with a black mask on his face, making it difficult to see his face clearly. (End of chapter)
