Chapter 48 Hu Guichen Goes Crazy
They were led to the servants' quarters, where there were three more servants than usual. Qi Yan and his two companions ended up staying in one room.
When night fell, Qi Yan summoned Blood Drinker, but before he could speak, the little wolf leaped out of the window and disappeared.
Gu Dinghan asked in confusion, "Seventh Brother, you haven't told it where Junior Sister Zhao Zhao and the others are yet, have you?"
Don't get lost.
“Don’t worry,” Qi Yan lay down on the bed, “it knows Zhao Zhao’s location even better than I do.”
Indeed, with Qi Yan's excellent sense of smell, he could find Yun Zhao's location among all the rooms, but he still needed to identify him.
Drinking blood only requires following your instincts; a quarter of an hour later, it arrived at the room where Yun Zhao was.
Fu Guang was being petted and stroked by Yun Zhao when Yin Xue appeared, and its fur instantly bristled!
"Don't be afraid," Yun Zhao quickly reassured it, "It's a blood drinker, not an enemy."
Fuguang meowed; it actually hoped it was an enemy, because an enemy wouldn't try to steal its master's embrace.
Sure enough, its designated spot was taken by some wicked sword spirit.
I'm so angry, but I still have to keep smiling.
Yun Zhao was both amused and exasperated. She rubbed the two little ones' heads and asked Fu Guang to act as a translator, translating what Qi Yan wanted to say to her.
The master and the sword spirit can communicate using their divine sense.
Qi Yan told Yun Zhao about meeting Song Zhiyuan. He suggested that they stay in the Song family for a few days, since they had just entered as maids and servants and probably wouldn't have much opportunity to wander around.
Yun Zhao agreed, drank the blood for a while longer, and then reluctantly went back.
At the master's place, I can only stay inside the sword; how can it compare to the comfort of the mistress's place?
The lady of the house even fed it small dried fish carved from spirit stones!
After reluctantly returning, Yin Xue gave Qi Yan a long and tumultuous explanation before immediately diving into the sword.
Gu Dinghan laughed and said, "Seventh Brother, your sword spirit is quite special."
“Yes,” Qi Yan blurted out, “She has a terrible temper and is always thinking about running away from home.”
“Uh,” Gu Dinghan scratched his head, “that’s quite rare.”
Which sword spirit doesn't want to stay with its master and wants to run away from home?
The sword spirit inside the sword rolled its eyes: Don't you want to stay by the mistress's side?
Its owner can't transform into beast form now; if he could, his tail would be wagging more enthusiastically than his and that big fat cat's.
Over the next few days, although the six of them worked in the same place, they didn't even make eye contact with each other, let alone get to know each other.
Manager Fu observed for several days and saw that Qi Yan and the other two had not contacted anyone and had been working in silence, before reporting to Song Zhiyuan.
Song Zhiyuan muttered to himself, "Could it really not be him?"
He clearly felt that the figure looked very similar.
Upon hearing Song Zhiyuan's words, Steward Fu cautiously asked, "Young Master, is it still necessary to observe the three of them?"
Song Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment.
"Young Master," someone reported from outside the door, "I have found the information you requested."
Song Zhiyuan immediately said, "Come in."
As soon as the man entered, he said, "Young Master, your subordinate searched along their route and found that they eventually went to the Southern Forest."
"The Southern Forest is vast, and finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. My subordinates have guarded all the exits, and no suspicious people have come out."
"Nan Mu Forest..."
Song Zhiyuan repeated the name twice. Seeing that Manager Fu was still waiting beside him, he said, "You can go down now. You don't need to keep an eye on those three people anymore."
The steward bowed his head and said, "Yes."
After he left, Song Zhiyuan was completely baffled. "Southern Pasture Forest? What are they doing there?"
If we're talking about training, the Southern Pasture Forest isn't enough for those few Golden Core cultivators.
Unable to figure it out, Song Zhiyuan simply ordered his subordinates to continue guarding the exit.
"Once any suspicious persons appear, arrest them immediately."
"Yes!"
At this moment, the Heavenly Sword Sect is thousands of miles away.
Hu Guichen sent several communication talismans to Master Guiyuan, but received no reply.
He was anxious. Could it be that Master Guiyuan had discovered that Bai Lingxiao's innate sword bone could be taken for his own use and had made a move beforehand?
A ruthless glint flashed in Hu Guichen's eyes.
No!
He had guarded Bai Lingxiao for so long, and even invested a lot of rare and precious treasures to make her sword bones more powerful. He absolutely could not let anyone else take her away!
Hu Guichen thought for a moment and sent a message to Lu Mingdao. This time, he received a reply.
"Sect Leader Hu, our sect leader is in seclusion, which is why we didn't receive your message talisman."
Lu Mingdao's voice was normal, which relieved Hu Guichen somewhat. He then asked when Bai Lingxiao would return.
"Peak Master Lu, why don't we bring Ling Xiao back first? If Zhao Zhao wants to play, there will be plenty of time for her fellow disciples to play together in the future."
Lu Mingdao didn't reply immediately this time, but hesitated for at least fifteen minutes. Hu Guichen couldn't wait any longer and sent another message to urge him.
"This……"
Lu Mingdao said with difficulty, "Sect Master Hu, to tell you the truth, Zhao Zhao is really audacious. She wanted to go on a training trip, so she took Bai Xiaoyou and the others with her."
Hu Guichen's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked when they would return.
If Bai Lingxiao's cultivation breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, even if he seizes her sword bone, he will lose most of its power!
“The return date is uncertain,” Lu Mingdao said helplessly. “This child is afraid that I will go to find her, so she didn’t even tell me where she was going to train.”
Hu Guichen: "!"
“However,” Lu Mingdao gasped, “according to my disciple, they went south to the Misty Wasteland.”
"If Sect Leader Hu is not in a hurry, I will set off to find them after I finish refining this batch of pills."
Lu Mingdao knows more details than I do, so he should be able to find them sooner.
Thinking this, Hu Guichen asked, "When will Peak Master Lu be able to finish refining this batch of pills?"
Lu Mingdao said uncertainly, "It should only take a month, but if things don't go smoothly... six months?"
Hu Guichen: "..."
He barely managed to suppress his anger and patiently asked, "Peak Master Lu, could you find them before refining the pills? There shouldn't be any rush, right?"
Lu Mingdao sighed, "No, I've already started, I can't stop."
Hu Guichen: "..."
He suppressed his temper again, asked Lu Mingdao for some information that Lu Mingdao knew, then summoned the spirit boat and hurriedly headed south.
Seeing this, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect said enviously, "The sect leader is so good to Senior Sister Bai. The matter of the sword spirit is something that the master should handle himself, but he is busy with sect affairs and cares about Senior Sister Bai's affairs."
"There's nothing we can do. After all, Senior Sister Bai is a born swordswoman, a talent that only appears once every ten thousand years. How can the sect leader not cherish and pamper her?"
At the Wood Peak of the Qingyun Sect, Lu Mingdao put away the communication talisman and said irritably, "Is that enough?"
Mu Qianqian smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Uncle. I am extremely grateful."
Lu Mingdao waved his hand, "If you really want to thank me, hurry up and let me refine pills. Instead of doing this all day, why don't you go and cultivate?"
