After listening to what Qiong Qi said, the little fox felt somewhat relieved.
Because the little fox felt that based on Qiong Qi's reaction, he seemed quite confident in his elder brother. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng might take a bit longer, but he should truly be able to pass the assessment of the divine artifact Shen Nong Ding.
However, the little fox was also quite curious.
He really wanted to know what the assessment of the divine artifact Shen Nong Ding was like, to have caused Ye Tiancheng to spend so much time within it.
But unfortunately, he could only wonder.
Because even Qiong Qi couldn't answer the little fox's question.
The assessment was entirely dependent on the individual and didn't depend on anyone else. Therefore, it was up to Ye Tiancheng himself, and no one else could provide any help.
Qiong Qi simply looked at Ye Tiancheng's luck and thus had confidence in him.
However, even Qiong Qi couldn't say with 100% certainty that Ye Tiancheng would succeed. He could only be sure that Ye Tiancheng would definitely benefit to some extent.
But that was also a very good thing.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Bai Long glanced at the little fox and then said to him, "Little fox, master said that if he doesn't come out for too long, you don't have to keep waiting here. Look how dark it's gotten. Why don't you go back and rest, and come back tomorrow to wait and see?"
The little fox looked at the darkening sky and felt a bit hesitant.
Compared to resting himself, the little fox was naturally more worried about Ye Tiancheng's condition and didn't want anything to happen to him.
Under these circumstances, the little fox was reluctant to leave.
If it were just that, then it wouldn't be a problem for the little fox to just stay there.
However, as the little fox thought further, he recalled something else.
There were still many complicated situations in this place, and also regarding Aya. Previously, Aya had tried to drug them, but the little fox had inadvertently foiled her plan, causing Aya to be affected by her own medicine instead.
Therefore, Aya was sent to Old Wu's place by them.
Aya was still lying at Old Wu's house.
The little fox felt that it was necessary for him to pay attention to the situation on that side, and he didn't know if Old Wu had the ability to cure Aya.
If Old Wu's attempt to cure Aya was indeed related to the divine artifact Shen Nong Ding, then perhaps their direction, with Ye Tiancheng striving for the divine artifact Shen Nong Ding, was the right one, and they wouldn't have to worry so much.
Old Wu would not have the energy or ability to cure Aya during this period.
After all, as long as Ye Tiancheng didn't come out, Qiong Qi would guard the outside, and Old Wu would not be able to enter the cave to use the divine artifact Shen Nong Ding to create an antidote for this kind of medicine.
But what if Old Wu had the ability to cure Aya?
Then, if Ye Tiancheng and the little fox suddenly disappeared, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Moreover, the little fox also considered another issue.
In the current situation, Aya was drugged, but his and Ye Tiancheng's situation was not that simple. He didn't know if anyone would still be paying attention to the situation of their brothers under these circumstances.
If someone was still paying attention to them, and if the little fox and Ye Tiancheng didn't appear for a long time, it would definitely be troublesome.
However, if only the little fox returned, it would still be somewhat problematic.
But if the little fox returned, he could figure out some ways to solve certain things.
The little fox looked towards the cave, his heart filled with indecision.
After thinking it over, he ultimately decided to prioritize the bigger picture. Other matters were not as important as the current situation. Avoiding trouble was the most important thing. If other issues arose that they hadn't resolved, Ye Tiancheng would face a lot of trouble when he emerged from the trial.
The little fox did not want his elder brother to face only troubles upon his return.
Furthermore, the little fox had also weighed the situation in his heart.
Qiong Qi seemed to have a good impression of him and Ye Tiancheng, and his attitude indicated that he was somewhat inclined towards them.
Moreover, Ye Tiancheng himself was a person of considerable strength.
Therefore, even if Ye Tiancheng emerged alone, the situation would not be overly dangerous.
So, it would be better for the little fox to help Ye Tiancheng prepare for the aftermath, so that Ye Tiancheng would have no worries when he came out.
Finally, the little fox said to Bai Long, "Although I really want to wait here, I can't let my elder brother encounter nothing but trouble and have to solve various problems when he comes out. I need to find a way to help my elder brother with the aftermath."
"After all, if my brother and I mysteriously disappeared during this period, it would definitely attract attention."
"So, I'll go back first to help conceal our tracks and keep a close watch on the other situations in the village, staying updated on the intelligence here."
With Ye Tiancheng absent, Bai Long naturally obeyed the little fox's commands and had no objections.
After all, Ye Tiancheng had thought of something similar when he went for the assessment.
Moreover, Bai Long knew that her master was no ordinary person, so even if they left now and Ye Tiancheng suddenly appeared, nothing would happen. Thus, it was fine for them to leave.
Bai Long nodded to the little fox and said, "Then let's go. I'll escort you back."
The little fox walked back with Bai Long.
As they walked away after bidding farewell to Qiong Qi, the little fox said to Bai Long, "Although our return can somewhat cover our tracks, if only I return, it's still a bit troublesome."
"Do you have any way to deceive others and make them think that big brother returned with me?"
Upon hearing the little fox's question, Bai Long smiled.
She immediately replied to the little fox, "If you were asking about other complicated matters, I might be troubled, but how difficult is such a simple problem to solve?"
"A simple illusion technique can easily fool people in this situation."
"When we get back to where people are, I'll transform into master's appearance and return with you. Then everyone will naturally see you returning with master. Isn't that enough?"
The little fox thought this was indeed a good idea.
Since Bai Long could transform into Ye Tiancheng's appearance, it would save a lot of trouble, and the little fox was relieved.
"That's good."
Saying that, the little fox paused slightly again. After thinking for a moment, he said to Bai Long, "However, there's another issue. We also know that Old Wu in this village is not an ordinary person. He has lived for who knows how long, and he can even use the divine artifact Shen Nong Ding."
"Someone like that shouldn't be easy to fool, and might have some special abilities."
"If it's him, is it possible that he could see through your impersonation of my elder brother?"
When the little fox asked this, Bai Long frowned slightly with some difficulty.
It wasn't that she found Old Wu troublesome or insurmountable, but rather that Bai Long didn't know what abilities Old Wu possessed. After all, those who possessed mystical abilities, even if they weren't very powerful themselves, were different when it came to discerning illusions.
As long as others had a bit of mystery in their abilities, the truth could easily be revealed.
As for the other villagers, Bai Long wasn't worried at all. Those mere underlings couldn't possibly fool or expose her.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Long said to the little fox, "If you're talking about that, I don't have much confidence. After all, I don't know what abilities that old man has. Moreover, seeing through illusions has nothing to do with one's strength."
"This is indeed a bit troublesome."
When the little fox heard Bai Long say this, he became a little worried.
But after thinking it over and over, the little fox couldn't come up with a better solution.
Therefore, the little fox could only say to Bai Long in the end, "If that's the case, then we can only be more careful ourselves. Since that's the case, you should be careful normally and try not to let Old Wu see you."
"Anyway, we just need to let people know that my brother and I returned together."
"This way, at least to some extent, it can prevent Old Wu from suspecting that my brother and I have found the divine artifact Shen Nong Ding."
Bai Long nodded.
She said, "This is fine too. I'll do as you say."
With this concern resolved, they gradually walked to a place where people were. As Bai Long had said earlier, she transformed her entire form and then took on Ye Tiancheng's appearance. The little fox looked at Bai Long for a while and felt that there were no flaws, so he didn't say anything more, feeling relieved.
Moreover, Bai Long was also meticulous after transforming.
She didn't just use an illusion technique but also paid attention to her words and actions, trying her best to emulate Ye Tiancheng's behavior.
Although Bai Long's understanding of Ye Tiancheng was still limited and not very familiar, after all, they were now in a master-pet relationship, and Bai Long had spent some time with Ye Tiancheng.
Therefore, imitating some details of daily life was not difficult for Bai Long.
She followed Ye Tiancheng around all day. Even if she didn't show herself, it didn't mean she didn't exist. Therefore, Bai Long was not lacking in observation of Ye Tiancheng. While she might not understand other aspects, Bai Long was very familiar with Ye Tiancheng in his daily life.
Bai Long's imitation was quite accurate, and the little fox couldn't point out anything inappropriate.
They returned to Aya's house together. When they returned, Aya had not yet come home, indicating that she was still at Old Wu's house. Old Wu had not sent Aya home. On the way back, many people noticed the little fox and Bai Long, who was impersonating Ye Tiancheng.
However, in their eyes, it was naturally just Ye Tiancheng and Bai Long returning to Aya's house together.
Upon returning, the little fox immediately went back to his room.
At this moment, the little fox dared not forget Ye Wuji again. What happened last night was enough to happen once. If it happened a second time, the little fox himself would not be able to tolerate such negligence.
