Teng Xiaoyun's face darkened upon hearing the question and he spoke seriously.
"You risked so much for the village, which initially comforted me, but this plan has great risks. Zuo Peng and the others planned to lure you out of the village because of the secret you carry. Coming out alone like this is no different from seeking death."
Zuo Feng sighed deeply and nodded. When Zuo Lie appeared, he had already figured everything out. Now, being sternly criticized by his master, he felt somewhat ashamed. Yet, thinking again, he blurted out.
"Master, you already know that my changes are related to the items in that cave."
Teng Xiaoyun glared at him and said, "When you sustained a fatal injury but survived without a scar, I already had my suspicions. Later, when your cultivation miraculously recovered, I became even more certain of my suspicions; otherwise, why would I have told you about that cave?"
