Chapter 1679 - Guess

“I don’t think so…” Nan Yiyi knitted her brows, and her tone was rather uncertain. “Father didn’t talk about this before…”

Originally, she thought that she just had to make a trip here and casually take the item away. After all, not many people could detect that item’s whereabouts were left. Who knew it would be so troublesome?

They had been on this journey for so long, but they didn’t even see a trace of it.

“But that item isn’t an ordinary item after all. Perhaps it really changed its location.” As Elder Wu Peng spoke, he glanced at Nan Yiyi. “Second Missy, could you check it in detail and see if you can find any clues?”

Originally, he should do such things, but he had activated the geomantic compass not long ago. In such a short period of time, he couldn’t use it twice. Hence, he could only pin his hopes on Nan Yiyi.

Nan Yiyi pressed her lips against each other. “Let me try.”

The reason her father insisted on her coming over was that she had a certain talent in this aspect. Now, she indeed became useful.

But after she used this talent, it would take a huge toll on her strength and mental health. For a very long time afterward, she would be uncomfortable. Hence, she didn’t really like doing this normally.

However, they didn’t have any other choice now.

Nan Yiyi closed her eyes and made a strange gesture with her hands. Then, a totem faintly appeared between her brows!

After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes and pointed in a direction. “Over there!”

Nan Yuxing instantly looked satisfied. “Yiyi is indeed amazing!”

Upon hearing this, Nan Yiyi couldn’t hide the pride on her face. “Of course!”

Even though she was a little stubborn, she was capable. If not, she wouldn’t be in favor for so many years.

After all, this was a world where the strong were respected.

“Since we’ve confirmed the direction, let’s go!” As Nan Yuxing spoke, he wanted to move forward excitedly. He really wanted to find the item immediately and leave the place!

However, Elder Wu Peng and Elder Bai Tong did not move. Furthermore, the duo’s expressions were a little strange.

Nan Yuxing couldn’t help but furrow his brows. “Elders, why are you not moving?”

The two of them exchanged glances and saw the complicated gaze in each other’s eyes.

Elder Bai Tong slowly said, “Eldest Young Master, didn’t you realize that there’s something amiss?”

Nan Yuxing was confused. Amiss? What’s amiss? Didn’t Yiyi already detect it? It proves that the item is nearby!

Elder Wu Peng said in a low voice, “The direction Second Missy pointed in… was the direction Rong Xiu and the rest left.”

Nan Yiyi was suddenly stumped. Afterward, his first reaction was to look at Nan Yiyi with a doubtful gaze. “Yiyi?”

Even if he didn’t ask anything, his gaze represented everything.

Nan Yiyi instantly felt aggrieved. “Brother, what do you mean? You’re doubting me? I spent a lot of effort detecting that weak aura!”

Seeing her annoyance, Nan Yuxing instantly dispelled his doubts. “No, no, I just feel that… it’s too coincidental…”

Even though my younger sister is wilful and stubborn, she doesn’t have the guts to be unruly about such an issue. If she didn’t do it on purpose, it means that… the item has really teleported there?

Once he thought of Rong Xiu and the rest at the front, Nan Yuxing felt especially awkward. It could go anywhere else, but why that place?

Elder Wu Peng did not doubt Nan Yiyi’s judgment, but this matter alerted him. “Eldest Young Master, Second Missy, don’t you find that the series of matters was all too coincidental after we came here? Previously, I used the geomantic compass to detect, and it led us here. Back then, Rong Xiu and the rest were here. Now that they’ve left, Second Missy detected that the item was in the direction they left…”

“Wu Peng, you’re saying that… the item has been following Rong Xiu and the rest?” Elder Bai Tong’s eyes narrowed. “Or are you saying that the item is actually… with them?!”

Once he said this, the few of them fell silent.

Without a doubt, this was the outcome they were most unwilling to see.

“That’s impossible, right?” Nan Yiyi also panicked. “Why wouldn’t there be any commotion if they wanted to take that item? Besides, they came in for such a short time. How could they do it…”

Before they came, her father was worried that she couldn’t handle it alone, so he got her brother and two elders to follow her. Additionally, he repeatedly instructed that she had to persist and bring the item back undamaged even if she would suffer a little in the process.

However… What’s going on now?

Elder Wu Peng thought deeply for a moment and finally said, “No matter what, we have to follow them now. If everything is a misunderstanding, it’ll be fine. But if it’s really them…”

He didn’t need to say his remaining words, but the other people were well-aware—at that time, it would be a harsh battle.

“I think they’re quite alert. We have to be careful in our matters. Unless we have to, let’s not go against them.” Elder Bai Tong thought for a moment and said this.

Seeing that Nan Yuxing’s expression became increasingly ugly, he hurriedly added, “After all, our main objective of this trip is to find that item. Everything else can be set aside for now…”

Nan Yuxing clenched his fists. “Let’s go!”

…

Chu Liuyue told Chu Ning about her true identity and whatever happened afterward honestly.

Even if she had made it very brief, Chu Ning was still stunned when he heard it. Tianling Dynasty’s Eldest Princess…

The final disciple of Ling Xiao Academy’s director…

A true god warrior that isn’t even twenty…

Everything came out nonchalantly from Chu Liuyue’s mouth, but Chu Ning knew that these seemingly calm words hid countless shocks.

He had long guessed that her identity was extraordinary, but when he heard it himself, he was still deeply shocked.

Rong Xiu’s true identity caused his mood to be unable to calm down for a long time.

Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace… An absolute talent that is only stronger and not weaker than Yue’er… The most shocking thing is that he already had feelings for Yue’er a few years ago. It’s no wonder he took care of Yue’er greatly from the beginning.

After Chu Liuyue finished talking, Chu Ning took a long time to digest all the information. “…So this means that the person we’re finding is your real ancestor?”

Chu Liuyue nodded lightly. “Ancestor has always taken great care of me. This time, he insisted on following us because he was worried about me. But not long after we entered, we got lost and went separate ways.”

Hearing that it was someone who was nice to Yue’er, Chu Ning immediately became worried. “This is very dangerous. Do you have a way to contact him?”

Chu Liuyue smiled slightly and comforted, “Don’t worry. Ancestor has come here before, so there shouldn’t be a—”

Boom!

A loud sound suddenly spread from the distant horizon!
