After Gu Qingfeng left, only Ye Yuhan, Ding Shuyao, and Ye Zhenzhen remained in the private room.

Ye Yuhan seemed to recall something casually and asked, "How did Fellow Daoist Ye meet my junior sister?"

Ye Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, this Ye Yuhan is not a simple person, and he can't be fooled.

Ye Zhenzhen organized her thoughts and repeated the same explanation she had given to Ding Shuyao.

After speaking, she stared intently at Ye Yuhan, waiting for his judgment.

After listening, Ye Yuhan pondered for a while without speaking, secretly observing Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen's heart was pounding, but she still looked at Ye Yuhan with a sincere expression.

Ye Yuhan looked at the slightly nervous girl opposite him. Her eyes were very clear, and he felt a little relieved. She didn't seem like a bad person. He would observe her a little longer.

He said to Ding Shuyao, "Is there anything else here? If not, hurry back. The others are still waiting for you at Yunlai Inn."

Ding Shuyao shook her head and said, "It's alright, we can leave anytime, but there are tails outside, which may be related to the missing Senior Brother Hu and Junior Sister Mu."

Ye Yuhan looked at Ding Shuyao, as if asking what she meant.

Ding Shuyao deliberately embellished the story of how hard she and Ye Zhenzhen had tried to find Senior Brother Hu and Junior Sister Mu, and told it to Ye Yuhan.

He talked until his throat was dry. Ye Zhenzhen, who was watching from the side, was stunned. With such eloquence, it was a waste of his talent not to be a storyteller.

He silently filled Ding Shuyao's cup with tea and pushed it in front of her.

Ding Shuyao finished her cup of tea in one gulp and continued talking to Ye Yuhan.

Ye Zhenzhen silently poured another glass, but this time she didn't put it directly in front of Ding Shuyao. Instead, she smiled and watched her blow on it.

Sometimes things go too far, and when I really can't stand it anymore, I secretly cover my mouth and laugh.

Ye Yuhan observed the interaction between the two and understood. It seemed that the two girls got along quite well!

Half an hour later, Ding Shuyao finally finished speaking. Seeing that Ye Yuhan was distracted, she said unhappily, "Senior Brother, I'm so thirsty from talking, did you even listen?"

Ye Yuhan stretched out his right hand and, before Ding Shuyao could react, flicked her forehead.

He said, "After all this talk, the main point is that after you went to the commoner's inn, someone followed you, right?"

Ding Shuyao had just been slapped on the forehead and was sulking, so she didn't want to talk to Ye Yuhan.

Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Ye Yuhan reached out and gently touched the spot on his forehead where he had just been flicked, saying softly, "Alright, don't be angry. Where is he? Point him out to me. Let's quickly resolve this matter here and return to the sect. Master misses you terribly."

Hearing Ye Yuhan's words of comfort, Ding Shuyao reluctantly forgave him.

She pulled him to the window and pointed to the man in purple not far away, saying, "That's him. There were two people in front, but now there's only one. They were both wearing purple clothes, so it's very obvious."

Ye Yuhan looked at the man in purple, who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, nodded, and led the two away from the teahouse.

The man in purple outside the teahouse felt a chill run down his spine. Seeing that there was another person with Ding Shuyao and Ye Zhenzhen, he quickly sent a message back, while he followed the three of them to see where they went.

Ye Yuhan kept a close eye on the purple-clad man behind him with his divine sense. He realized that the man was indeed following them, found a blind spot, knocked him unconscious, and took him inside.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Ye Yuhan curiously. Where did he put the person? Did he also have a space that could hold people?

Ye Yuhan saw through Ye Zhenzhen's thoughts and said, "Children shouldn't be too curious. You should know that you should see what you should see and not see what you shouldn't see."

Ye Zhenzhen immediately straightened up, behaving as obediently as a quail, and followed behind the two.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen's appearance, Ding Shuyao glared at her senior brother Ye Yuhan, saying, "Look how scared you've made the child!"

An hour later, the three returned to the Yunlai Inn.

Four people were sitting by the window in the lobby, all dressed in the same clothes, only slightly different colors.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at them and knew they were disciples of the South Sea Sect.

After the group bowed, Ding Shuyao led the four of them back to her room.

Ye Zhenzhen returned to her room, thinking to herself, "The disciples of the South Sea Sect have all arrived. Grandpa, Uncle, when will you arrive?"

Ye Zhenzhen calculated that in three more days, a month would be up, and she should visit the Commoner's Inn more often in the next few days.

Little did he know, the person he was thinking of was already in the lobby of the inn.

As soon as Ye Shiqing, Ye Anbo, and Ye Zhenwen entered the inn, Ye Zhenwen went straight to the innkeeper and asked, "Innkeeper, is there a woman with a child who is about 10 years old staying at your inn?"

When the shopkeeper saw that it was someone looking for him again, he panicked. Could it be those two people he had seen that morning? Could they have been captured by Zi Fu Xuan? Someone came looking for him so soon, what should he do?

The innkeeper's eyes darted around, and he said, "A month ago, there was indeed a woman staying here with a child who looked to be about ten years old, but..."

At this point, the shopkeeper hesitated, as if he had something difficult to say.

Ye Zhenwen slammed 10 low-grade spirit stones onto the table and said, "Continue."

The shopkeeper smiled and accepted the spirit stone, continuing, "But he left half a month ago and hasn't been seen since."

Ye Zhenwen felt a chill in his heart, his body swayed, and he suddenly felt unsteady on his feet.

During this past month, I was anxious and didn't get proper rest or cultivation. After enduring this for a month, my physical strength is starting to give out.

Ye Anbo helped Ye Zhenwen up and said, "Don't rush."

He looked at the innkeeper and said, "Give me a medium-sized room."

The shopkeeper deftly handed the key to Ye Anbo, who looked at Ye Zhenwen and asked, "Can you walk by yourself?"

Ye Zhenwen nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

The three entered the room, and Ye Anbo took out a telepathic communication talisman and sent a message to Ye Zhenzhen.

He said to Ye Shiqing and Ye Zhenwen, "Meditate and rest for a while, then go out this afternoon to gather some information."

Ye Shiqing and Ye Zhenwen nodded.

Ye Anbo thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Zhenwen and said, "Don't you think there's something wrong with this shopkeeper?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiqing, who had just been sitting on the futon preparing to meditate, also pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

Ye Zhenwen began to recall the entire conversation, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I didn't find anything."

Ye Amber shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

After saying that, the three of them sat down on their respective prayer mats and began to meditate and cultivate.

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen, because she had activated the room's array, did not receive Ye Anbo's message in time.

He was diligently practicing in his room.

A series of knocks sounded on the door.
