Because the little fox's help was needed, and the little fox's attitude was very good, he had rushed to the construction site to help so quickly, and with so many outsiders present, Ye Tiancheng's attitude towards the little fox was rarely much better.
It can be said that for such a long time, since the doubts about the little fox's body have increased, Ye Tiancheng has rarely treated the little fox with such a gentle attitude.
Fatty had been following Ye Tiancheng, and basically, all major and minor matters were based on Ye Tiancheng's attitude. Therefore, no matter how much he liked the little fox before, after Ye Tiancheng explained the pros and cons and the suspicion surrounding the little fox, he had to harden his heart.
Now that Ye Tiancheng took the initiative to release a goodwill signal to the little fox, Fatty's heart immediately felt much relieved. After all, he really liked the little fox and felt an innate closeness to him.
For the past few days, facing the suspicion surrounding the little fox, Fatty had to harden his heart towards the little fox, and in fact, he felt very bad and didn't know what to do. Now that Ye Tiancheng was not making things difficult for the little fox, he was certainly eager to treat the little fox well.
Moreover, the fact that the little fox could rush over overnight without any effort was, in Fatty's eyes, a very touching thing. He was completely unable to remain unmoved.
After such a long time, Ye Tiancheng and Fatty finally became friendly with each other again. The little fox also appeared very excited and happy. Regardless of any suspicion surrounding him, or any disguise, he always seemed very innocent and sincere in front of Ye Tiancheng and Fatty.
Therefore, although Ye Tiancheng was still observing the little fox's every move, he could not see any flaws in the little fox. Ye Tiancheng was often very confused. Could someone really have such good acting skills?
To be honest, he also hoped that he was overthinking things. If the little fox was always as he appeared on the surface, he would definitely be happy to treat the little fox well.
When the migrant workers led Ye Tiancheng, Fatty, and the little fox back to the temporary shelters, before they even entered, the foreman had already heard about the matter and came out to greet them. He showed a hint of surprise when he saw the little fox, but he did not express any doubt in person.
Since they had invited Ye Tiancheng and the others to help, and Ye Tiancheng and the others were people with magical abilities, naturally, no one would be so tactless as to offend them rashly.
Ye Tiancheng introduced the little fox's identity to the foreman again, pushing the little fox forward and speaking to the foreman.
"This is my brother, Little Fox. I mentioned yesterday that he could help. He looks young, but in this area, it's not about age, but talent. Little Fox is quite capable in this regard. For the next period of time, everyone will be relying on his help."
The foreman naturally nodded repeatedly in agreement and welcomed the little fox and Ye Tiancheng and the others into the temporary shelters, leading them inside while speaking.
"Oh, oh, good! Little brother, Brother Ye, Brother Fatty, please come in quickly, let's talk inside."
"This little brother is truly young and promising. To be so capable at such a young age, we will have to trouble you for help later. Oh dear, the matters here have really taken a toll on everyone, and there's nothing we can do."
Facing the enthusiastic foreman, the little fox curved his lips and smiled, not saying much. He mainly followed Ye Tiancheng and Fatty, acting according to their words and intentions, appearing very well-behaved.
After the little fox entered the temporary shelters and sat down, he, along with Ye Tiancheng and Fatty, listened again to the story about the mysterious large stone at the construction site.
He sat there quietly, listening very attentively, without interrupting much. Like the foreman who greeted him, he appeared to be a man of few words, his attention focused on the content described by the foreman and the others.
Ye Tiancheng and Fatty listened carefully to the events that had occurred at the construction site again, wanting to see if there were any details they had overlooked.
After hearing all the accounts, Ye Tiancheng and Fatty confirmed that there were no discrepancies with what they had heard before and did not learn any particularly useful new details. The little fox, after listening, sat aside thoughtfully without speaking.
Seeing the little fox's reaction, Ye Tiancheng went to ask him, thinking that the little fox might have some ideas that could help.
Ye Tiancheng himself was not very skilled in many supernatural and strange matters. He might not be able to detect anything wrong, but the little fox was different. He was very knowledgeable in this area, and might be able to hear something different.
"Little Fox, have you thought of something? If you have any ideas, tell us. Do you have any leads?"
Hearing Ye Tiancheng call him, the little fox turned his head to look at Ye Tiancheng. His expression appeared hesitant, uncertain, and conflicted, as if he was very unsure.
"After I came here, I also felt that the aura at this construction site was a bit off. I do have a few ideas, but I can't quite articulate them yet. I only have a slight clue."
"I'm still not very sure. I think it would be better to wait until I've seen the stone. It will be easier to make a judgment after seeing the stone. I've only just arrived here and haven't even seen the stone yet. I don't know enough about it. If I just think about it here, I might be wrong."
Hearing what the little fox said, Ye Tiancheng nodded, feeling that the little fox had a point. He had only just arrived at the construction site and had not approached the stone yet, nor had he felt any particularly strong special sensations.
When he first arrived at this construction site, Ye Tiancheng only felt a bit cold, and perhaps it was largely due to the rain. As for looking at the stone, it was as ordinary as could be. To the naked eye, it was just a large, heavy stone.
If Ye Tiancheng were not a cultivator, he would not even have felt that the surrounding aura was abnormal. Moreover, some of the feelings of abnormal aura were due to the strange events that had occurred at the construction site, as told by the foreman and the others.
However, due to the strange events triggered by the excavation of that stone, neither Ye Tiancheng nor Fatty had experienced them yet, nor did they have any good ideas about the stone.
After all, the stone could not be moved, and when studied, it seemed like an ordinary stone with no breakthroughs. Otherwise, Ye Tiancheng would not have been helpless and would not have found Su Muxian to summon the little fox, who was a troublesome person for him.
Since Ye Tiancheng and Fatty needed to rest during the day, they still had to keep watch at night. If they didn't get enough sleep during the day, the night watch would be too difficult, and if they were not well-rested, they might become lax during the night watch, which could lead to unexpected situations.
The foreman was well aware of this. They were very grateful that Ye Tiancheng and Fatty could help them, and of course, they hoped that Ye Tiancheng and Fatty could rest well.
Therefore, when he heard that the little fox wanted to go to the stone to check the situation, the foreman thoughtfully suggested.
"If the little brother wants to see the stone, why don't I and a few brothers take him there? Brother Ye and Brother Fatty worked hard all night yesterday and didn't sleep. It's better for them to continue to rest well. During the day, there will be fewer troublemakers and fewer strange occurrences, so there won't be any dangerous situations."
"Brother Ye and Brother Fatty's rest is more important. I will take good care of this little brother, you can rest assured."
Hearing the foreman say this, Ye Tiancheng hesitated. He and Fatty exchanged glances for a while and fell into thought. Fatty saw Ye Tiancheng thinking for a while and asked him what he thought. He would basically act according to Ye Tiancheng's wishes, and nothing else was important.
"What does Brother Ye think? Why don't we let the little fox go see it first? If Brother Ye is tired, we can rest first. This is not a particularly important matter that requires accompaniment. We have been through a lot of trouble on the way, and we stayed up all night yesterday. We really need to recuperate."
Ye Tiancheng was still hesitant. He was still somewhat uneasy about letting the little fox go to see the stone alone. It wasn't a matter of guarding against the little fox.
"Let me think... How about we accompany the little fox to see it first, and then rest? Afterwards, when we rest, the little fox can go see it again. Anyway, the stone won't reveal anything significant at once. Unless it can be moved, it won't take much time."
Since Ye Tiancheng had said so, Fatty, the little fox, and the foreman naturally had no objections. If they were going together, then everyone would go together.
After all, there was still plenty of time during the day. For normal people, they slept about seven or eight hours a day. To fully recharge, going to see the stone would not take long.
"Then let's go and see it together now. If we finish early, Brother Ye and Brother Fatty can rest earlier."
The little fox agreed, his expression looking quite happy. He could feel that Ye Tiancheng was not saying this out of suspicion towards him, but clearly showing some concern for him. He certainly would not refuse Ye Tiancheng and Fatty's company.
Even if Ye Tiancheng was accompanying him out of concern for him, the little fox would not have any objections to Ye Tiancheng.
"Mm. You... you also rushed over all night, and you must not have rested well on the way. After you see the stone, you should also rest well. You are still young, and such a trip must be very tiring. Don't overwork yourself. Solving the problem here is not urgent."
Although he was still a bit awkward, out of concern for the little fox, and also afraid that if the little fox made any mistakes, Su Muxian and the others, especially Hou Mingzhu, would criticize him for not treating the little fox well, Ye Tiancheng was truly afraid.
And being cared for by Ye Tiancheng, the little fox's happy face showed no signs of fatigue. Instead, he became much more energetic. He was actually not very willing to be separated from Ye Tiancheng and the others during this time. It was true that he liked Su Muxian very much, but he did not want to be separated from his close Brother Ye and Brother Fatty.
"I'm not tired! No, okay, after I see the stone, if there's nothing special to discover, I'll go rest."
Seeing that they had reached an agreement, the foreman walked to the front again to lead Ye Tiancheng and the others to see the stone.
