The deflated cultivator refused to give up and vowed to turn the tables.

Huang Donglang exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Su Zinong, then took out four yellow spirit stones, saying that Huang Chenghe had instructed him to give them to Su Zinong.

Then Huang Donglang mentioned that he hadn't heard from Huang Chenghe for the past few months. Huang Chenghe had only come back once four months ago, and then disappeared without a trace.

In the past, although Huang Chenghe was playful, he would always send someone back with news every month. As a result, the entire Yellow River Manor was extremely worried and sent out nearly half of its manpower to search for him.

"At that time, the Heavenly Demon Sect was searching for their Holy Maiden, and coincidentally, we in Chenghe also lost contact with them. We suspect it might be related to the Heavenly Demon Sect." Huang Donglang sighed, clearly extremely worried. If it was related to the Heavenly Demon Sect, then even his Yellow River Manor and the Five Rivers Alliance wouldn't dare to touch them.

“Uncle, don’t worry. I know the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect has nothing to do with Chenghe, because I know where she is these days, and she has already returned to the Devil City. Where was Brother Chenghe last seen? I’ll go look for him, I have nothing better to do anyway,” Su Zinong said.

"It's said to be near Chaoxia Mountain," Huang Donglang said.

Before leaving, Su Zinong went to see Huang Chenghai. He had almost fully recovered and was only one small realm away from returning to his previous peak.

After giving instructions, Su Zinong left the Yellow River Villa.

Along the way, Su Zinong wondered, what's wrong with Huang Chenghe? If he appears near Chaoxia Mountain, does that mean he eloped with Danxia? But that can't be right, since no one from Huanghe Manor has mentioned objecting to their relationship.

Could it be related to Golden Island? After all, before leaving, the six-star messenger said not to reveal anything about Golden Island, or he would be hunted down. Huang Chenghe undoubtedly told the people in the manor about Golden Island, and the escaped Huang Chengzuo is connected to Golden Island. This is truly worrying.

It would be better if Huang Chenghe suddenly discovered some clues and secretly went to investigate and hide his whereabouts.

After thinking it over and over, Su Zinong felt a wave of trouble and worry.

Let's go to Chaoxia Mountain first.

There was no news of Huang Chenghe along the way, and three days later Su Zinong arrived at Chaoxia Mountain.

Xinyangzi was very pleased and gave Su Zinong a grand reception.

"Oh, Young Master Su, you don't know this, but after you left, all my disciples have advanced in cultivation level. In all my life, I never knew that singing could improve one's cultivation. It's truly unprecedented! My third disciple has also reached the five-star level!" Xinyangzi said excitedly.

"Oh, congratulations then." Su Zinong smiled, but seemed a little absent-minded.

"I plan to send a few disciples to Tianqin Mountain next month, and let them go down the mountain in batches. The first batch will be led by their senior brother to go for training..." Xinyangzi talked on and on about his grand plan.

“That’s good,” Su Zinong asked anxiously, “but do you know if Chaoxia and Danfeng are on the mountain right now? I have something urgent to discuss with them.”

"Oh, them? Chaoxia is here, but Danfeng isn't on the mountain." Xinyangzi quickly sent someone to find Chaoxia.

Zhaoxia was surprised to see Su Zinong, but also very happy.

"Oh dear, Zhaoxia has been a bit down lately. Young Master Su, could you please cheer her up?" Xinyangzi was very fond of these two female disciples. Firstly, they were very diligent in their cultivation. Secondly, since most of the disciples were male, these two female disciples were like his own daughters.

"Haha, okay. Miss Chaoxia, let's go outside and talk." Su Zinong pulled Chaoxia out the door.

According to Chaoxia, Huang Chenghe returned to Huanghe Villa after Su Zinong went down the mountain. Less than a month later, he returned and went down the mountain with Danfeng.

"Master specifically instructed Danfeng to report their whereabouts regularly, but there has been no news of them for more than three months. I heard that Yellow River Manor is looking for Young Master Huang," Zhaoxia said gently. Although Huang Chenghe described this girl as having a fiery and beautiful appearance, her personality was quite gentle and warm.

“I came here for this very reason. I arrived at Yellow River Manor more than ten days ago. Young Master Huang’s father was very worried because Huang Chenghe always sends a letter to the manor every month when he goes out, but this time there has been no news for three consecutive months. I also need to go find Huang Chenghe now,” Su Zinong said with a frown.

"I'm going to find Danxia too. I'll tell my master first." Chaoxia hurriedly went to find Xinyangzi.

After the two descended the mountain, Su Zinong asked, "Didn't the two of them say anything special before they came down? For example, which direction they were going, or what special things they talked about?"

"Young Master Huang is very knowledgeable and has been to many places. The two of them are always together and have endless topics to talk about. They've mentioned so many places, and Danfeng longs to visit them all, so I don't know where they'll go," Chaoxia complained, yet there was also a hint of envy in her voice.

"That kid is indeed quite popular with girls." Su Zinong couldn't help but smile.

"You must be quite popular with girls, right?" Zhaoxia probed.

"No. Firstly, I'm always on the run, and secondly, I look ugly with that mask on, so girls avoid me like the plague," Su Zinong said calmly.

“Many girls don’t judge a book by its cover. Besides, if you just take off your mask, won’t they flock to you like moths to a flame?” Chaoxia smiled.

"I'm sorry you had to see this," Su Zinong laughed, pretending not to understand. "Do you think those two might have eloped?"

“I don’t think so,” Zhaoxia said. “If the two of them really were to get married, my master would be the first to agree, but I don’t know about the Yellow River Manor.”

"Although Chaoxia Mountain isn't a major sect, it's quite powerful. Perhaps Yellow River Manor will agree." Su Zinong knew that the marriage of a young master from a prominent family was not up to him.

"By the way, you didn't know, did you? My master's cultivation level has also increased by a small realm. I never imagined that he would go to the mountaintop every day to practice singing. We only sing for half an hour, but he sings for an hour, until his voice is hoarse. He works much harder than us." Zhaoxia said with a smile, showing her great respect and love for her master.

“Singing on the mountaintop is indeed better than in other places. By the way, I have a booklet to give you. It came from Baiyun Fortress. Baiyun Fortress is no longer there. You can use it to cultivate. It will be helpful to your cultivation techniques.” Su Zinong took out the booklet, Baiyun Divine Smell Technique, and handed it to Chaoxia.

"Ah, so precious, and you just gave it to me so easily?" Zhaoxia took it with both hands and gently stroked the booklet.

"I've already memorized it." Su Zinong chuckled softly, not caring at all.

"With so many people around, where do we even begin to look for them?" Chaoxia asked, putting away her cultivation manual.

"I don't know either. Huang Chenghe is a very unpredictable person; he likes to wander around and could go anywhere. We can only rely on luck to wander around and see if we can hear any news or find any trace of them. Let's just start from south to north, and begin our search at Honghe Manor..."
