Liu Li raised her head to see a silver faced man levitating in the air.She had never seen the boss of level one before. Even when running errands for Feng Ruqing, she had only met the elders. But as she saw the mask on his face, there was a sense of comprehension beneath her eyes.
"Young Master Jiu?"
Jiu Ming looked at the girl beneath him. His voice was cold. "Where"s Feng Ruqing?"
"Young Master Jiu, our princess has gone to the Forest of Spirit Beasts."
The Forest of Spirit Beasts?
Jiu Ming"s eyebrows furrowed subconsciously. He paused for a moment and asked, "When will she be back?"
"I am not sure. It will probably take a few days."
Liu Li really didn"t know when Feng Ruqing will return. It should take a few days at least.
After hearing this, Jiu Ming immediately lifted his sleeves and left. His magenta silhouette disappeared under the skies.
Shortly after his departure, a tiny head popped out from the courtyard next door.
The little girl had skin smooth like eggsh.e.l.l. Her delicate face was like those of a clay doll; her eyes dark like jewels. She was exquisitely beautiful.
"She went to the Forest of Spirit Beasts?" Tang Yin pondered for a moment. If she had left the house, there would be no reason to stay. Furthermore, she needed to observe her in close distance.
"Qian Ning, let us go to the Forest of Spirit Beasts as well."
Qian Ning was walking out but stopped dead in her tracks upon hearing this. She turned her head. "Little Lady, what did you say?"
The Forest of Spirit Beasts…
That was a place of extreme danger. With Litty Lady"s cultivation, she would be looking for trouble.
Besides, if she were to encounter powerful spirit beasts, there was no way she could ensure her safety.
"No questions, Feng Ruqing has gone to the Forest of Spirit Beasts! We must catch up to her!" Tang Yin did not care for Qian Ning"s whining. She held her hands and ran for the city gate.
***
The Forest of Spirit Beasts.
Located outside the imperial city.
The terrain was rough, and the roads were perilous.
But the forest now was filled with an air of mystique.
Feng Ruqing was tightly holding a jade pendant. Her eyes were dark and heavy.
It felt as if a powerful wave was about to suddenly hit. Even Qin Chen, who was following behind her noticed.
"Qing Qing."
He walked in front of her and saw the pendant in her hand.
The word "Tang" was distinctly carved on the pendant.
"That pendant…"
"I"ve seen that before, that is the pendant Tang Zi was always carrying!" Feng Ruqing clenched the pendant tightly. Her face was clouded in distress. Coldly, she said, "It"s the Iron-Blooded Troop… something has happened…"
She had felt anxious this morning, but after entering the forest, her anxiety grew even stronger. As it appeared, something must have happened to Tang Zi and the others!
Feng Ruqing closed her eyes. Using spiritual telepathy, she asked, "Fu Chen, is there any way to enclose the whole forest in your spiritual power?"
Fu Chen"s voice came through her mind through spiritual telepathy. "No problem, Mother."
He was getting more used to calling her "mother". There was no stress nor embarra.s.sment like before.
As he finished his words, Fu Chen wasted no more words and spread his spiritual power to cover the whole forest.
Certainly, he would not be able to release any spirit power if his stomach was empty. It helped to have adequate spirit herbs in the medium, naturally.
In a short while, his child-like voice came through again.
