Even if Xi Ning knew that Lin An was hiding his identity, he never thought of him to be the mysterious magician in the ghost forest. Xi Ning opened his lips slightly and looked very shocked. Lin An had excellent eyesight and could vaguely see the tip of Xi Ning's tongue from his perspective.

He wanted to lean in and kiss him, but he was still wearing a mask, which was inconvenient.

Lin An hugged Xi Ning and returned to the ground, but did not let go, “Will Your Highness blame me for concealing my identity?”

At first, he joined the mercenary group because he found out that Ferro was looking for someone with a similar face to him, and secondly, he planned to come back, and it was much more convenient to follow the convoy to pass the checkpoints in many cities.

And along the way, Ferro didn't show any strange reaction when he saw him. It seems that he didn't know him at all, so Lin An just took it as a coincidence.

After digesting the fact that Lin An was the evil magician, Xi Ning realized something else and asked with a subtle expression, “Why did you want to take me back to the magic tower?”

If he remembered correctly, Lin An used a spell on him after rescuing the Red Frost Flower. It seems that he was forcibly taken away…… Under the eyes of so many mercenaries and guards, is Lin An not afraid of being caught?

Now that the two of them are alone, Lin An is obviously acting differently from before. Previously, he would never take the initiative to hug him.

Xi Ning raised his head, wanting to take off Lin An's mask to see his expression clearly, and asked, “Do you……”

Before he finished speaking, Lin An tilted his head slightly in one direction, grabbed Xi Ning's hand and said softly, “Listen.”

Xi Ning stopped and heard nothing, but Lin An took him up a tree, sat down on a thicker branch, and held Xi Ning in his lap.

“Your Highness, don't make a sound.”

The monsters wouldn't dare to approach him. The people who come are most likely Ferro and the mercenary group. It is also possible it's the group of people that come in to hunt for treasure. Lin An is thinking about whether to use a silence spell on Xi Ning to ensure that he will not make a sound to attract others.

Xi Ning nodded, lying obediently in his arms, his soft silver hair was scattered on Lin An's clothes like a waterfall.

Lin An couldn't help but think, he hugged Xi Ning in such a posture, and Xi Ning didn't even resist. Did he deliberately act to be obedient to please him and lower his alertness because he was afraid of hurting him?

He then rejected his thought again. Xi Ning's personality is simple, how could he do these devious things.

In the end, Lin An didn't use the silence spell, and placed a barrier around the two of them. The group of people in the distance gradually approached, and they were talking while walking.

“It's getting dark, let's find a place to rest.”

“The trees here are sparse, so it's safer to find a denser place.”

Large beasts can't get in in densely populated areas, which are a little safer in comparison. Another person said, “Don't look for too crowded places. If the sun can't penetrate in, it's easy to breed other things, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with.”

“Damn, I shouldn't have let that flaming beast run away just now. I would have ripped off its fur to make a quilt, it would be so warm.”

“Now, now, don't think about it, you should be lucky that you are still alive……”

There were fifteen or sixteen people in their party. They should have just gone through a battle and walked forward with slightly heavy steps.

Lin An didn't care much about them. Even if they were strong enough to reach the center, they might not be able to evacuate safely. Besides, there was no treasure in his magic tower, and they were destined to return empty-handed.

He didn't want to cause trouble, and planned to wait for the group to leave the vicinity before leaving, or he and Xi Ning could just stay on this tree for one night……

Lin An stretched out his right hand and gently stroked Xi Ning's long hair. Xi Ning suddenly raised his head and silently held his wrist.

The group hadn't gone far yet. If Xi Ning made any sound, they would most likely have noticed it. Lin An was very nervous, but then he saw that Xi Ning just pulled his hand in front of him and gently touched his palm with his fingertips and started writing on it.

Xi Ning heard that the passers-by were the group of people that they had met before. They walked very slowly. Xi Ning got impatient since he hadn't even managed to ask a word, so he grabbed Lin An's hand and wrote his question in his palm.

He wrote very slowly. After writing it once, Lin An didn't respond, so he wrote it a second time.

Xi Ning's soft fingertips slowly scratched on top of his palm and his fingernail would sometimes brush on his skin. Lin An's palm was getting numb, and even his whole body was filled with unbearable anxiety, he tightened his arm, his mask almost pressed against Xi Ning's cheek and starting exhaling hot breath, “What are you doing?”

His voice was very soft. Among the group of people who had not walked far on the ground, someone glanced back, and his companion followed his line of sight and asked curiously, “What's wrong?”

The man held his breath and listened for a moment, then shook his head, “It's nothing, let's go.”
