"What's going on? What's going on?!"
Seeing Shen Qing running away in a hurry, Xian Shiyu asked out of curiosity.
Li Xian also thought of You Lang and Tuanyuan. Turning to Xian Shiyu, he said, "The people from the Main Shrine are not here. Shen Qing is worried about You Lang. Don't follow."
After a pause, Li Xian added, "Neither of you two."
Hong Chaoyang and Qi Nian, who had just lifted their butts, sat back down obediently, looking aggrieved.
Shen Qing's figure had already disappeared from everyone's sight. Li Xian quickly followed.
You Lang and Tuanyuan were still packing up their things in the cave in the Beast Forest. Although that place was remote and unnoticed, the people from the Main Shrine were so powerful that it was hard to tell whether they had actually discovered it or not.
Shen Qing galloped all the way, urging Wu Wang under her feet.
Feeling Shen Qing's urgency, Wu Wang didn't dare to slack off and rushed towards the Beast Forest at full speed.
When they arrived at the cave, Shen Qing found that the barrier of the cave had completely dissipated. Inside was in a complete mess, with herbs scattered all over the ground.
A look of panic flashed across Shen Qing's eyes. A feeling of fear welled up from the bottom of her heart.
"You Lang! Tuanyuan! Where are you?!"
Seeing no one in the cave, Shen Qing immediately went outside and shouted loudly, "You Lang, You Lang!"
At this time, Li Xian also caught up. He stood beside Shen Qing, carefully examined the surroundings, and said, "Don't be anxious. I don't see any signs of fighting here. Maybe they just left temporarily."
Shen Qing tried her best to calm down. As Li Xian said, there were indeed no signs of fighting around.
"But where could they have gone?"
Li Xian shook his head silently. He didn't know either.
"How about we split up and search around..."
"If you two fight again, I'll throw you off the cliff! Look at what you've done to my clothes. The stains won't come off!"
You Lang's angry voice came closer. Shen Qing and Li Xian quickly turned around and saw You Lang walking over slowly, holding Tuanyuan in one hand and the collar of Huan Qianyu in the other.
Huan Qianyu and Tuanyuan both hung their heads, but they glared at each other when You Lang wasn't looking.
And Huan Zhong followed behind the three of them, smiling gently. Although he walked with a limp, his complexion looked much better. It seemed that You Lang's formation had helped his body recover a lot.
Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Shen Qing let out a sigh of relief.
"Where did you go? I thought..."
The people from the Main Shrine had come and taken you all away...
Seeing that You Lang still looked exhausted, Shen Qing couldn't bear to complain and swallowed the words back.
You Lang explained angrily, "I originally wanted to pack up the things and then return to the Beast Taming Sect. But who would have thought that these two brats, Huan Qianyu and Tuanyuan, would start fighting. When I went to stop them, they threw the herbs at me. The juice got on my white clothes, and I couldn't even get it off with magic!"
As he spoke, You Lang glared fiercely at Huan Qianyu and Tuanyuan.
Tuanyuan let out two aggrieved howls but didn't dare to retort.
Huan Qianyu was the same. She originally wanted to ask her father for help, but seeing that her father didn't seem to be going to plead for her, she could only obediently take the scolding.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you say that the result of the second round of the selection for Chu Lanqiu came out today? Did the plan succeed?"
Shen Qing nodded. "It succeeded. Thanks to you all, the little spirit beast has returned to normal. It's an extremely rare Pure White Cloud Lark. Fei Fei originally wanted to cause trouble, but I gave the evidence in the image stone to Tiger Roar True Man. I think he won't be able to cause any more trouble in the future."
You Lang showed an expression of "as expected". "With my help, if Chu Lanqiu still can't win the first place, then he's really a mediocre talent."
"Alright, those herbs have been ruined by them. There's no need to pack them up. Let's go back now."
Shen Qing nodded, took the pitiful Tuanyuan from You Lang's hand, and held him in her arms. She amusingly tapped his little nose.
"You little rascal. You really never let people worry."
Tuanyuan seemed to like staying in Shen Qing's arms very much. He let out a few howls, snuggled comfortably, closed his eyes, and was about to fall asleep.
Seeing Shen Qing holding Tuanyuan like a little baby, Li Xian immediately imagined a warm scene in his mind.
If what Shen Qing was holding in her arms was their child...
Thinking like this, Li Xian couldn't help but smile.
But the next moment, he sensed a strong killing intent. Shen Qing and Li Xian instinctively summoned their natal swords and held them in their hands.
You Lang also warily hid Tuanyuan behind him. "Who's there!"
Everyone looked towards a shadow on the left. Huan Zhong also pulled Huan Qianyu behind him and nervously looked in that direction.
"Originally, I wasn't sure if this familiar aura was really here. I have to thank you, Shen Qing. It was you who led us to them."
Immortal Huiyan slowly walked out of the darkness with Li Ji and Du Cang.
"Immortal Huiyan, why aren't you staying in the Beast Taming Sect properly? What are you doing here?"
Immortal Huiyan lifted his chin and looked at You Lang and Tuanyuan. "Of course, I'm here to find these two. They are the last two Nether White Wolves on the Nine Desolate Continent."
Shen Qing's eyes narrowed, and she tightly grasped Wu Wang.
They really knew the identities of You Lang and Tuanyuan.
But the cultivation levels of these people... They might not have much chance of winning against these three.
On the surface, Shen Qing remained calm, but in her heart, she was frantically calculating how to escape.
"Oh, right. I almost forgot about General Huan and Miss Huan. You actually managed to escape from the abyss successfully. You really have some skills."
"Can you tell me how you managed to escape?"
Everyone looked solemn, looking at the three people smiling on the opposite side.
These three people already knew all their details. Could it be that... they were doomed this time?
Then, Immortal Huiyan let out a sneer and looked at them leisurely.
"Don't be so nervous. We originally wanted to kill you all. But unfortunately, two quarters of an hour ago, we received an order from the Prophet. He told us to return to the Main Shrine and not to hurt any of you."
Immortal Huiyan's tone was a bit regretful. The eyes with false kindness and compassion revealed a strong killing intent.
"The Prophet? Who is he?"
Another person she didn't know had appeared. Shen Qing even began to doubt whether the plot of the storybook she had read was really complete.
Why did things and characters outside the plot always appear, catching her off guard?
Immortal Huiyan shook his head, as if looking at an overconfident little beast. "The Prophet is the god who leads our Main Shrine to a higher level. He is the leader we trust and look up to."
"He told me not to hurt you, so you can live. You should thank the Prophet's mercy."
Anyone who could be the leader of the Main Shrine couldn't be a good person. Shen Qing immediately felt dislike for this Prophet in her heart.
"Forget it. I don't think I can get any answers today. Let's go back."
Leaving only a few words, Immortal Huiyan turned around with Du Cang and Li Ji and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Huan Zhong behind everyone shouted, "Little Lizhi, is that you?"
