Star Spirit Tower

Tang Yu had witnessed Xing Ye carrying Ye Lu out of the forest before, and now she was inquiring about their relationship.

Xing Ye briefly explained the situation without mentioning the dangerous part. He also refrained from disclosing the celestial star phenomenon related to Ye Lu, not out of intentional concealment but due to uncertainty about how to broach the topic.

"You're saying that the anomalies in the forest were intentionally caused by someone?" Li Manyue's expression changed upon hearing Xing Ye's words.

Xing Ye nodded and said, "They wanted to set a trap for me, but ended up trapping themselves."

At this moment, Liu Wu and the others were still searching for the person who had plotted against them earlier but had not found anyone. They were unfamiliar with their assailant and didn't even know which sect they belonged to.

"How did you end up here?" Xing Ye had traversed the Dragon Tree Forest, so logically, he should be coming from the opposite direction.
