Chapter 170 A Wasted Moment of Excitement

"What did you say?"

A slightly hoarse voice rang out, its tone filled with excitement and disbelief, "Are you serious?"

The person who had just returned nodded, "Yes, yes, today during the competition I sensed a familiar spiritual energy aura, very similar to, very similar to the spiritual energy aura of Brother Qin Yu and the others."

"Really? Where is that person?"

The old woman excitedly stepped forward and grabbed the little girl's shoulder. They had been searching for their young mistress for so many years, and recently they had finally received news that she had been taken to the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty. Therefore, they had rushed to the capital to find her.

However, the capital city of Yan was quite large, and once they arrived, they lost their trail and didn't know where to begin their investigation. Now, finally, a new lead has emerged.

"Granny, please don't get agitated. Please listen to me first."

The little girl's shoulders were almost scratched raw by the nanny.

How could the old woman not be excited? She was partly responsible for the young lady's loss back then. If she hadn't been so weak and misled by the villains, failing to hold off the enemy and allowing them to catch up with Mo Ying, Mo Ying would have had no choice but to temporarily leave the young lady behind and risk her life to distract the enemy.

She felt extremely remorseful when she thought about how her sister Mo Ying had suffered from chronic illnesses due to her injuries, and how she often felt aches and pains.

"Grandma, if you keep shaking me, my little shoulders are going to break!"

Hearing the little girl's words, the nanny loosened her grip slightly, but still held on tightly, staring intently at the girl, waiting for her to continue.

“Grandma, I sensed that familiar spiritual energy coming from the arena. But I can’t be sure who it is right now because I was standing too far away and couldn’t see what was happening in front of me. By the time I squeezed to the front, the battle in the arena had already ended.”

Speaking of this, the little girl felt a bit regretful. Why didn't she find a good spot to watch from the front earlier? Instead, she had to join the fun at a restaurant, listening to their vivid storytelling about the competition, and she was too lazy to squeeze to the front to watch.

Upon hearing this, the old woman's enthusiasm waned considerably, but there was still hope. After searching for so many years, what's one more time? "Then do you see who's in the competition arena?"

The old woman continued to ask, saying that once they knew who these people were, they would have plenty of time to investigate and eliminate them one by one.

The little girl shook her head. "I don't know!"

She hadn't been in the capital long and hadn't yet ascertained the identities of the people in today's competition. Suddenly, something flashed through her mind. Her eyes lit up, and she spoke.

"However, most of the participants in today's competition are men, and there aren't many women. Since the young lady is a woman, we only need to check the identities of those women."

The little girl couldn't help but praise herself for being so clever.

Just then, a man wearing a cap came in. "What are you looking for?"

Seeing their excitement, the man asked a question, while taking off his cap to reveal a weathered face with a noticeable scar that stretched across half of his face.

His once handsome face now bore a menacing look due to the scar resembling a tumor. It was enough to make anyone who saw it feel uneasy.

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him return safely. "Did you find anything today? Did the Zhang family find out?"

The man shook his head. "Don't worry, Granny, I know what I'm doing. I've temporarily sealed my spiritual power today, so they won't know what I'm doing. Besides, I've had quite a few gains today."

At this point, a slight smile appeared on the man's face.

The old woman was overjoyed and became excited again. "What? Did you also discover the young lady's whereabouts?"

The man was taken aback, not expecting the old woman to say this. He was startled; had someone found the young lady?

"What? You said you found traces of the young lady? Where?"

The man immediately became excited as well.

Finding the young lady is the best news, rather than the Zhang family being ridiculed.

Seeing the man's excited question, the nanny realized that his "findings" were not about the young lady. "Yes, Xiaoyuanzi said she found clues to the young lady's whereabouts."

The man looked at the little girl, his eyes filled with doubt, "Little Garden?"

Xiao Yuanzi nodded, "I sensed fluctuations in spiritual energy today. It was the same spiritual energy aura as Brother Qin Yu and the others. But it was purer than theirs, and my five-colored stone even lit up for a moment."

Where did you feel it?

The man was just as excited as the old woman from before, his voice trembling slightly.

"It must be one of the contestants in today's competition. Only the contestants used spiritual power in the battle today, and no one around me used spiritual power and had any conflicts or fights. So, I think the young lady must be one of the contestants in today's competition."

Xiao Yuanzi affirmed.

The man's excitement vanished instantly. "Did you see the Zhang family members in the arena today? The Zhang family's spiritual power is relatively pure compared to others in Jade Immortal Mountain, which is why your five-colored stone shines."

Upon hearing about the Zhang family, the old woman became agitated again. "What? The Zhang family is also in the competition arena? How could they possibly be there? Aren't there rules against people from Jade Immortal Mountain participating in the political affairs of the three kingdoms of the Wind and Cloud Continent? Could it be that they've sided with one of the kingdoms? Which kingdom do they represent?"

The nanny asked a series of questions nervously.

The man, worried about the old woman's health, quickly comforted her, "Old woman, don't get agitated. They won't get away with this today; in fact, they've made a fool of themselves and lost all face."

Upon hearing that the Zhang family had embarrassed themselves, the old woman fell silent for a moment. "Really? What exactly happened?"

My nanny's old injury flared up last night, so she has to stay home today and can't go out. Therefore, she hasn't received any news from the outside world yet.

Next, the man told the old woman everything he had seen that day.

After listening, the nanny also began to doubt the truthfulness of what Xiaoyuanzi said. Was that really the young lady's aura?

"Therefore, the familiar spiritual energy that Xiaoyuanzi sensed belonged to the Zhang family."

The man nodded affirmatively, "Most likely."

Xiaoyuanzi was a little angry that they didn't believe her. Of course, she herself wasn't confident either, because she really hadn't seen the specific situation on the scene.

However, she will definitely find out whether it was the spiritual power of the Zhang family that made the five-colored stone light up.

Meanwhile, Qin Wanyou returned to the Prince's residence and discussed the Crown Prince's injuries with Murong Xiao, asking, "How are the Crown Prince and the others? Are their injuries serious?"

Murong Xiao patted Qin Wanyou's head. "The Crown Prince is alright; the divine physician has brought him under control. Mo Dong, on the other hand, is quite seriously injured, but his life is not in danger. He may need to rest for a while."

Qin Wanyou knew they were badly injured today. "Should I use my spiritual power to heal them?"
