Early the next morning, Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei said goodbye to the old woman and Ah Cheng. Xiao Mubei had dark circles under his eyes, and Chu Yunxi smiled secretly. They slept in the same room last night. The old woman's house was too small, the ground was uneven, and there were no extra beddings. It was not convenient for Xiao Mubei to sleep in the same bed with Chu Yunxi, so he had to pull a sheet and sleep on the floor. He tossed and turned all night, his body was sore, and he didn't sleep much.

Chu Yunxi was sleeping in bed. She heard Xiao Mubei tossing and turning. She felt a little guilty and asked him to go to bed. He kept saying that it was okay and asked her to go to bed quickly. Later, Chu Yunxi fell asleep without knowing when, leaving him alone and having a tough night.

Arriving at the ridge that Ah Cheng mentioned, which was the location where they found the narrow passage yesterday, Xiao Mubei summoned all the detectives who had rested there last night and asked them to search again carefully this morning, expanding the search area and focusing on seeing if there were any places nearby where people could be hidden, and also, whether there were any female bodies.

Xiao Mubei, like Chu Yunxi, felt that it was unlikely that the woman could escape. Since she did not come down the mountain and disappeared, the most likely possibility was that she was also murdered.

The detectives immediately started to work. Chu Yunxi stood at the highest point of the ridge and looked around. There were continuous mountains and lush forests everywhere. It was impossible to see what was in the forest from a distance. Even on the other side of the mountain crack, there were other mountains as far as the eye could see.

Chu Yunxi looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked: "My Lord, if I go from here to the other side of the crack, can I do it with your light ability?"

Xiao Mubei looked at it and shook his head. "From below, this crack is just a thin slit, but from above, it is a full twenty feet wide. Not to mention me, even with my senior brother and Wei Zhe'an's Qinggong, it is impossible to jump over it."

Wen Rulan and Wei Zhe'an can almost be said to be among the best in the world in terms of lightness skills. If even they can't get through, then it is definitely not something that ordinary people can get through.

Seeing Chu Yunxi looking at the other side all the time, Xiao Mubei asked, "Are you suspicious that the woman is across from you?"

Chu Yunxi nodded, "I was thinking about what Ah Cheng said. He said there is nothing here except the woods and the crack. He must be talking about this side of the crack. He definitely can't get through the other side of the crack. If he wants to go around the bottom of the mountain, it shouldn't be close, right?"

Xiao Mubei called over a constable who had been searching for a crack in the sky on Longyu Mountain for the past two days and asked, "If we want to get to the other side of the crack, how do we get there?"

The constable looked bitter, "Your Highness, the routes to the mountain are different here and there. This crack divides the entire mountain into two. If you want to get through, you can only go down the mountain and then go up from the other side. Even if you use Qinggong, it will take at least three or four hours."

He thought Xiao Mubei wanted him to go to the crack, and was thinking about how to refuse. He has been climbing mountains every day recently. He has never climbed a mountain so many times in his life. His legs tremble at the mention of climbing.

Xiao Mubei looked at his bitter face and said, "This month's salary will be doubled."

The constable felt miraculously that his legs were no longer shaking, his heart was no longer tired, and he even had the strength to walk. If the prince asked him to go to the other side of the crack now, he would rush there at a speed of 800 miles per hour without stopping.

The prince did not let him go to the other side. He said to him, "Continue searching."

The constable instantly felt that their prince was truly the best and most philanthropist in the world.

Seeing the constable going to work with tears of gratitude, Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Silver is really useful."

Xiao Mubei looked innocent, "I can't help it, it's because I have a lot of money."

Chu Yunxi felt that people who showed off their wealth deserved to have a bad sleep last night. She looked at the other side and said, "My Lord, if my Flying Tiger Claws plus your Qinggong are combined, do you think you can get through?"

“That should be about the same.” For people who are good at Qinggong, it is not difficult to pass through such a crack as long as they have something to leverage on.

"Let's give it a try?" Chu Yunxi did it right away. She took out the Flying Tiger Claw and released it. Her Flying Tiger Claw was powered and contained a hundred-meter-long rope. It would automatically hook onto anything it encountered. Chu Yunxi pressed the button and the rope immediately flew straight to the other side, flew all the way to a big tree on the other side, and hooked onto it firmly.

"Bai Yu, Hei Mu?" Chu Yunxi took out another long rope and waved it, "Who will go first?"

"I'll go." Bai Yu took the lead without hesitation. He had been wanting to show off recently and make up for his sins with merits. What's more, Hei Mu had been injured before, and although he had recovered, Bai Yu still took care of him everywhere out of habit.

Chu Yunxi took the rope and tightly wrapped it around Bai Yu's waist twice, then handed the other end of the rope to Hei Mu, "Here, his life is in your hands."

Hei Mu waved the rope and said to Bai Yu, "Don't worry."

Bai Yu didn't want to tie the rope at first, but when Chu Yunxi glared at him, he immediately shut up and said to Hei Mu, "I wasn't worried in the first place."

After saying that, he did not delay any longer. He turned his head, gathered up a burst of true energy, and flew towards the other side along the rope of the Flying Tiger Claw like a wild goose.

Chu Yunxi looked at them with envy. She was particularly envious of those who were good at Qinggong recently. It was so convenient for them to go anywhere they wanted. It was faster than riding a horse, and their feet didn’t even need to touch the ground. It was as if they could fly.

Bai Yu, who could fly, reached the other side in a few breaths. He turned around and untied the rope around his waist and waved it towards Xiao Mubei and the others. Chu Yunxi asked Hei Mu to pull the rope back and tied it around Hei Mu's waist again. This time, she gave the other end of the rope to Xiao Mubei, and Hei Mu also went to the other side in the same way.

"Search carefully. If there is anything suspicious, don't act rashly. Come back and report before making a decision." This was what Xiao Mubei told them before he left. The two of them gestured to Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi on the opposite side, and then went to search together.

"I hope Baiyu and Heimu can discover something on the other side." Chu Yunxi watched the two figures disappear from her sight without blinking, feeling a little worried. There was no doubt that there was danger in this crack, but she didn't know if the magical monk that Ah Cheng mentioned really existed. If so, how good was his kung fu?

Xiao Mubei had the same concerns, but there were probably not many people in this world who could defeat the combined forces of Baiyu and Heimu, so he asked them to search together just in case.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, another morning had passed. Bai Yu and Hei Mu still hadn't appeared. Chu Yunxi was a little worried. "Will nothing happen to them? Why did they take so long?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. If there is a problem, at least someone will come back to report it. If it's really too late, they still have signals in their hands and can always release them. Now that the sea is calm, there shouldn't be any problem." Xiao Mubei was still confident in the skills of his two subordinates.
