“Mother’s scent has just appeared. There is no way I am mistaken. Moreover, it seems that she isn’t very far away from us.” Meatball reiterated firmly.
Lou Jun Yao opened his mouth and his low voice sounded: “Are you able to pinpoint her precise location?”
“Of course. That will not be a problem.” Meatball nodded its little head, looking highly confident. “As long as Mother is within the range of my nose, I will be able to find her.”
Upon saying that, Meatball leapt down from Qing Bei’s arms. After closing its eyes for a short moment, it then opened them again. Its large azure eyes had changed into colour, and were sparkling with a silver light.
It looked like it was trying to determine the correct direction to take as its tiny body paused in its spot for a moment, before it went walking away confidently.
Everyone immediately followed suit right behind.
After all they had gone through on this journey where they just barely managed to escape the clutches of death, everyone had lost the desire to compete with each other, becoming collectively cohesive and working together as the most important thing at that moment was to remain alive.
And Meatball had saved them from danger several times, gaining the trust of everyone and making them think that they would not go wrong following that tiny little spirit beast.
For these people to have discovered Qing Yu’s traces, it was only natural that people from the Mind Free Peak were not excluded.
“She has appeared, Sovereign. The little one has revealed herself.” The moment Yan Po discovered that, she immediately reported it to the woman in the grand hall, seemingly trying to make amends for her prior mistake.
However, the news did not change the expression on the woman’s face at all, making it seem as though that was completely within her expectations.
Only she herself knew what she was thinking in her mind right at that moment. Lian Shi was nowhere to be found, and it was not known where he went. Could he really have steeled his heart and decided to leave her?
Seeing the woman’s calm and unperturbed demeanor on her face, Yan Po found it impossible to read her mood. But as she was still eager to make up for her prior mistake, she could not help but to open her mouth and ask: “Sovereign, should I go have her brought back here? Or I fear that something unexpected might occur.”
“Just do as you deem fit.” Ming Yue could not really be bothered with her, and just tossed those words out indifferently.
Hearing that, Yan Po bent her back slightly in a bow and said: “Your subordinate understands.”
Immediately after that, Yan Po retreated her way slowly out from the grand hall, and then turned around to leave hastily. This was a chance that Sovereign had given her to make amends, so she was not about to disappoint Sovereign again.
——
Lian Shi’s heart that had laid silent for tens of thousand years, had for some unknown reason started to beat furiously once more.
It was a feeling he had never felt before, which caused him to lower his eyes slightly to look down.
