I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 168 Setting Off to Investigate

Could it be referring to Maoqiu? No way, would the clan leader still be worried that he would go wandering with Maoqiu? Lezhi's thoughts wandered aimlessly, and he suddenly remembered an idea he had once had, and even seriously considered how feasible it was.

Seeing that Lezhi's eyes were unfocused and she had fallen into a daze again after asking a question, Lechu could only sigh, knowing that the situation was beyond repair.

"It's nothing. Alright, since Chief Qinglin has said so, I'll entrust Lezhi to you. I hope you can keep your word."

"Of course," Qinglin replied with a smile.

Having watched the whole show unfold, Yu Yan clapped her hands with satisfaction. "Alright, Le Chu, you don't need to worry so much. If you're worried about Qing Lin, aren't you worried about Qing Jin? Besides, this trip is just to clean up the mess. The most dangerous situation has been eliminated. Le Zhi is right. Those of us leading the large group should proceed step by step according to the plan. That way, Le Zhi can rest assured."

As the saying goes, an outsider's perspective is clear. Yu Yan had already seen through Le Zhi's weakness, so she hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.

The facts are undeniable. Le Chu turned to look at Lei Xiu, gave him a deep look, and then nodded slightly, just as she had instructed him when she handed Le Zhi over to him.

Lei Xiu nodded in return, and the two exchanged a silent understanding, both of them having a tacit agreement.

Still lost in thought, Lezhi didn't notice the somewhat tense atmosphere. Lechu avoided answering his question, and Lezhi didn't press the matter further, not because he didn't want to, but because there wasn't enough time.

The sound of the Windwalker Clan gathering could already be heard at the door. Qingjin had left the living room at some point and was probably outside calling for people.

The others, who had also noticed the commotion outside, stopped chatting, exchanged glances, and escorted Lezhi to the door.

At this moment, more than a dozen members of the Windwalker Clan's guard were already standing in the small courtyard, all fully armed and ready to go. Fortunately, Lezhi's residence had its own small courtyard, so the commotion did not disturb the nearby clansmen.

"Chief, we are ready and can set off at any time."

"it is good."

After Qingjin and Qinglin finished their report, they went straight to Lezhi and asked, "Lezhi, are you ready?"

This question was actually a bit redundant. Every tree spirit possesses a unique spatial ability, so hoarding has become a habit, and almost everyone can embark on a spontaneous trip at any time. Qingjin's deliberate question was merely a signal to Lezhi that it was time for them to set off.

Lezhi immediately understood, nodded in response to Qingjin, and then looked down at the fur ball in her arms and said, "Fur ball, I'll have to ask you for help from now on."

"Tweet~"

Since arriving in the Windwalker Clan, the furry ball, which hadn't experienced the joy of flight in a long time, understood what Lezhi meant. Its little black bean eyes immediately lit up, and its cries became much clearer.

With a single flap of its wings, it took flight from Lezhi's outstretched arms, transforming in mid-air. From takeoff to landing, before most of the people around could even react, it instantly transformed into a large white bird.

Once everything was ready, Lezhi nodded goodbye to Lechu and Leshan, and then, accompanied by Leixiu, sat down in her assigned seat.

"Zhizhi, if you feel unwell on the way, just say so. I'll be right here, okay?" Lei Xiu, who is as still as a stone in front of outsiders, transforms into a nagging maniac in front of Lezhi. Every time they set off, he would tirelessly give her his instructions, which Lezhi had long been used to.

“Okay, I understand. Lei Xiu, you just got back. Actually, you don’t have to go this time…” This advice had been swirling in Le Zhi’s mind for a long time. After much deliberation, Le Zhi finally spoke up. Although he knew it was useless to say it, he felt really bad that Lei Xiu had just returned from a mission and was about to go out with him again without any rest.

"Alright, sit down. Zhizhi, wherever you go, I will definitely follow. No need to say more."

Without giving Lezhi a chance to say more, Lei Xiu settled Lezhi in and then spread his wings and took off while still on the fur ball's back.

His figure was like a signal for departure. Qingjin was standing a distance away from Maoqiu and could not know the exact status of Lezhi's preparations, but when she saw Lei Xiu fly up, she knew that everything was ready and they were just waiting to set off.

Without saying a word, Qing Jin simply made a gesture and took to the air. The guards who had agreed to go with them also spread their wings. Because of their talent, their movements were so light that they were almost silent. Among the group, Mao Qiu and Lei Xiu made the most noise.

Led by Qingjin, the group formed a human shape, surrounding the fur ball in the middle, and disappeared from Lechu's sight in an instant.

"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you, Qinglin. Tonight is the bonfire party, Yuyan, shouldn't you go back and prepare? Let's call it a day." To avoid getting annoyed by seeing them, Le Chu suppressed her worries and told them to leave.

Seeing Le Chu's frustration, Yu Yan and Qing Lin didn't want to argue with her at this moment, so they simply said goodbye.

Once everything was finally quiet around her, with only Leshan remaining, Lechu finally let her eyes reveal a look of unconcealed worry.

“Chief, aren’t you worrying too much? Lezhi is no longer a cub. Although he hasn’t been trained yet, I think that little cub has a lot of ideas. And although he doesn’t have wings, he has great talent. He may not be any worse than others.” Leshan was very optimistic. He could tell from his intuition that Lezhi was hiding his true abilities, so he couldn’t understand Lechu’s worries.

“I’m not worried about that…” Le Chu sighed again, feeling her heart beating faster and faster. “I don’t know why, but ever since Le Zhi agreed to go and investigate that place, I’ve had a bad feeling, I just feel…”

It's as if Lezhi will disappear if she goes there!

This feeling came so inexplicably that even Le Chu herself couldn't explain it. That's why, even though Qing Lin had already arranged a guard team, and Lei Xiu and Mao Qiu were always by Le Zhi's side for protection, she still impulsively wanted Le Shan to come along as well.

Although this idea did not succeed.

The reason why Le Chu did not insist on her own opinion was not only because Le Zhi herself was unwilling, but also because she vaguely sensed that even if Le Shan followed this time, the outcome would not change much.

That's true. Even with Lei Xiu present, he couldn't solve the problem, let alone the others.

But how serious must a problem be if even Lei Xiu can't solve it? Le Chu couldn't imagine.

Moreover, because all of this was just a sudden feeling in his mind, he couldn't express it aloud, which was tormenting him.

The more Le Chu thought about it, the more agitated she became, and her heartbeat showed no sign of slowing down. Le Shan watched in utter silence; he had never seen Le Chu so emotionally expressive before.

Lezhi, who had been on his journey for quite some time, was unaware of Lechu's worries. He felt the unique chill of Bai Cangji on Maoqiu's back, wearing a heavy fur cloak that Lei Xiu had specially made for him. Lei Xiu had instructed him to take it out as soon as he arrived, and now it seemed that Lei Xiu was indeed very prescient.

The temperature difference between night and day in Baizangji is huge, and the difference between when the sun is out and when it is not is enormous. Now the sun is about to set, and the temperature has dropped a lot. Especially since they are still traveling in mid-air, Lezhi nestled under the fur and looked at the tribesmen flying around him with a mixture of confusion and envy.

Why is he, who has done nothing, so afraid of the cold, while his clansmen, who face the cold wind directly, seem completely unaffected? I can't understand it.
