Why do you look so tired?\" Shen Xu asked, looking at the swordsman with curious eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did something happen?’ Luo Jianfeng thought and almost drew his sword to slash the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he calmed himself and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he sealed the space and looked at the two with solemn eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your relationship with the Xuanyuan triplets?\" He asked, and Shen Xu raised an eyebrow in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven’t we already moved on from this topic?\" He asked, but Luo Jianfeng shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sect has been investigating the triplets’ disappearance.\" Luo Jianfeng said and quickly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been confirmed that they never left the mountain, and during the period they disappeared, you were the only ones who entered and exited the ninety-seventh mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This doesn’t prove anything.\" Shen Xu said and shrugged with a careless attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t, but the sect wants to question you. You can’t escape this matter.\" Luo Jianfeng said, and the two exchanged a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While in retreat, Shen Xu refined the truth elixir and both tested its efficacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Zhen Yuan was not affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Shen Xu felt a stream of power flow from his bracelet and counteract the effect of the truth elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this experiment, both were assured to undergo the sect’s interrogation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they couldn’t appear too eager for fear of arousing suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has the sect considered that the triplets may have found a way to escape? After all, their mother is a peak-stage tribulation transcending realm cultivator.\" Zhen Yuan suggested, and Shen Xu forcibly suppressed his amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sect has considered this, but no traces of Feng Xue have been found near or within the sect, let alone the ninety-seventh mountain.\" Luo Jianfeng said, but Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan pretended not to be satisfied with this answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ayuan and I have just joined the sect and can’t leave for the time being. Where do you suppose we hid the triplets?\" Shen Xu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Luo Jianfeng didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he asked a question of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you have a portable cave outback?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sect suspects we hid the triplets in our portable cave?\" Shen Xu asked in an amused voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your cave is heavily protected, and we have been unable to properly investigate.\" Luo Jianfeng said, and Shen Xu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, Ayuan and I will do our best to clear your doubts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are willing to let us investigate your cave?\" Luo Jianfeng asked in a surprised voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a cultivator’s portable cave was a sacred domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the sect was determined to investigate the couple, Luo Jianfeng thought it would take some persuasion and threats to force the couple to surrender their portable cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he underestimated Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As early as when they left the ninety-seventh mountain, they expected that suspicion would eventually fall on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, they intentionally staged their portable cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the sect dug the floors and walls, they wouldn’t find anything suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Shen Xu smiled with narrowed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will the sect give up if we refuse to give access?\" He asked, and Luo Jianfeng sighed before shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the sect was ready to move on Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the two were strangely confident, which caused the elders to hesitate. They even convinced themselves that Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan had a mysterious and powerful background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had investigated the two but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that, the sect chose to act cautiously instead of inviting trouble recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The triplets are the young masters of our Tianxuan sect. We can’t afford to ignore them.\" Luo Jianfeng said, and Shen Xu sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" He asked, his eyes filled with mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhen Yuan rubbed the back of his lover’s hand to soothe his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We have everything under control.] He transmitted, and the double took a deep breath to slowly suppress his irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ayuan is right. We have everything under control.’ He thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can open our portable cave at any time.\" He said, and Luo Jianfeng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he unsealed the space, gestured, and a dozen or so people walked towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozen people wore the uniforms of the disciplinary hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Elder Lan of the disciplinary hall. She will be in charge of checking your cave.\" Luo Jianfeng introduced, and Elder Lan nodded with an unsmiling expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Lan was a peak-stage Mahayana realm female cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She appeared to be in her early thirties, but her expressionless face and deep eyes carried a depth of wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Lan, follow us, please.\" Shen Xu said and led the way to the back room before exiting the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the cave’s door, he waved his hand and the formations closed, allowing the disciplinary hall cultivators to begin scanning the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will need to go inside.\" Elder Lan said, and Shen Xu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feel free.\" He said and opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portable cave had five storeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first floor was a sitting room, a kitchen, a cellar, a pantry, and three storage rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, the place was ordinary and contained nothing of note except the exquisite furniture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second floor had training rooms while the third had practice rooms, including an alchemy room, a brewing room, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the fourth, it had ten bedrooms while the top floor was a private area for Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, the cave was filled with exquisite furniture refined with precious materials, but the investigators found nothing suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are not here.\" Someone muttered with a gloomy expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After investigating every other angle, everyone was convinced that Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan were hiding the triplets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that reason, they suddenly appeared and requested to check the cave before the two had a chance to hide evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they checked every nook and cranny but didn’t find anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found no secret rooms, no concealing formations, and not a trace of the triplets’ aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Shen and junior Zhen still have to come with us to the disciplinary hall for questioning.\" Elder Lan stated, and the two didn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>",1106,"2026-06-06T02:30:15.893Z",1,"novelbin.me","62bea9d8942daed83b68b060095b7c9297d75c80c6fbf75bc7235e3c53660891","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-281","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-280",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffalling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-cover.jpg"]
