Chapter 185.1

After the dinner, Feng Shao took everyone to the practice room. After experiencing the strong spiritual energy in the practice room, everyone cheered and couldn’t wait to find a seat to meditate and cultivate.

In their memory, the last time they practiced so impatiently was when they first became a teacher.

While everyone was concentrating on practicing, Du Yuanxi spoke to Feng Shao privately, “Feng Shao, I have something that I need to ask you for.”

Feng Shao was surprised, and said in a low voice, “The third uncle master is asking about junior sister Li?”

The person Feng Shao was referring to was naturally the second disciple of the second branch, Li Qingying.

Du Yuanxi sighed and replied, “That’s right! Qingying has been missing since she separated away from Biyun that night. The sect has been sending people to search for her for the past few months, but they found nothing. I wonder if you have a way to find Qingying?”

Feng Shao pondered, “I don’t know if the third uncle master has deduced junior sister Li’s whereabouts?”

“This… in the Taiwei Sect, only the eldest senior brother is good at deduction, and the only other person is you. The second senior brother and I are not very good at it.”

Feng Shao said, “In that case, then I’ll give it a try!”

Feng Shao immediately took out six copper coins and began to deduce.

These six copper coins were all bought from Linglong Pavilion by Feng Shao at a high price before, and they have a hint of the aura of heaven, allowing one to glimpse a trace of the heavenly secrets.

This copper coin is not the best magical item for deduction. But Feng Shao at that time could only afford this level of magical item.

After a while, the deduction ended. Looking at the hexagrams displayed, Feng Shao couldn’t help but frown.

Du Yuanxi asked in a hurry, “How is it?”

After being silent for a while, Feng Shao slowly said, “The secrets of heaven seem to be obscured, and it’s a little blurry. I can only vaguely tell where junior sister Li seems to be trapped. It’s okay for a while, but… if she wants to escape, I’m afraid she needs to intercept a chance for survival.”

Du Yuanxi turned pale with shock and asked, “Could it be that Qingying is trapped in some dangerous secret realm?”

Feng Shao shook his head and said, “It’s hard to say, I can’t deduce it more specifically. The only good news is that junior sister Li is still alive, and her life will be safe for a short time. Still, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to escape.”

Du Yuanxi couldn’t help but frown, extremely worried.

Seeing her like this, Feng Shao comforted, “Third uncle master, don’t worry. The place where junior sister Li is trapped may be an opportunity for junior sister Li. It might be a blessing in disguise for junior sister Li. It might not necessarily be a bad thing.”

Du Yuanxi knew that Feng Shao was comforting her, so she could only sigh, “I hope so!”

Later that night.

A group of traveling merchants are rapidly marching towards Wuling City under the darkness of night.

This is a small caravan consisting of three single-drawn carriages. The entire caravan, including merchants and guards, has only six people in total.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It is almost the fourteenth of the sixth month, and the moon in the sky is about to be full. Thanks to the bright moonlight, they were able to travel in the middle of the night.

One of the guards couldn’t help but complain, “We’ve been working so hard for three days, but why haven’t we arrived at Wuling City yet? We have to go on the road at night, it’s really hard to live!”

Another guard also said, “That’s right! I say, Old Zhou, do you have to rush to Wuling City in such a hurry? Just because of your work, the brothers can’t even sleep well these days. It’s almost midnight, and yet we have to continue on our way. Let me tell you, what are you planning?”

Sitting in the front carriage was the owner of the caravan, a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old.

He smiled wryly and said to the guards, “I have troubled you guys these days. Isn’t there nothing I can do? When I got the news, it had been a few days already. But fortunately, Wuling City should not be far away. Please rest assured, I will be the host when we arrive at Wuling City and treat you to a good meal!”

The guard who complained before replied with a smile, “It’s nice! But if we can earn more money, it’s much better than eating a meal!”

The businessman said with a smile, “All right, all right! When this trip is over, the brothers will each get an extra five taels of silver!”

“Hahaha! Old Zhou, you’re still so generous!” the guard laughed.

At this time, a young man who had been silent all this time suddenly said, “You guys, the price has already been agreed before, but now you raise the price again, isn’t it too unkind?”

There are four guards in this caravan.

Three of them are together.

They have cooperated with the businessman surnamed Zhou for a long time and have escorted him many times.

They can be regarded as regulars of each other.

This young man is the fourth guard.

He hitchhiked halfway, and the price of the ride was to escort the caravan to Wuling City.

Anyway, for the young man, his final destination is Wuling City so this trip can be regarded as a side trip.

For businessmen, this is nothing more than preparing food for one more person and they can have multiple guards at almost no cost.

Therefore, the two hit it off immediately, and the young man became the fourth guard.

It’s just that along the way, the young man obviously didn’t get along well with the other three, and the two sides always found opportunities to ridicule each other.

The three guards felt that the young man always had a swaggering look and that he always acted too arrogant.

The young man felt that these three people were too greedy and only had money in their eyes.

Several times, the two sides almost fought.

If the businessman surnamed Zhou hadn’t kept mediating and making peace, there would have been bloodshed.

Even though the young man was alone, he was not afraid of these three guards. Those three guards are just ordinary warriors, but he is different, he is a cultivator, one who is about to step into the Gold Core realm.

Of course, he didn’t take the mere warriors seriously.
