The two women frowned in unison. They had thought it would be difficult to ask him for help this time, but it went much more smoothly than they had imagined. However, they couldn't be happy.

Xie Daoyun thought for a moment and said, "But we need to go find our companions, so I'm afraid we won't have much time to help you."

This world is so unpredictable and ever-changing that they have no time to spend with others doing other things.

Moreover, if even Wang Youjun finds this matter troublesome, it must be fraught with danger, so it's best not to get involved.

Wang Youjun laughed and said, "You can rest assured about that. This matter should be resolved in three to seven or eight days at the shortest."

Seeing that the two women remained silent, he added, "Without my guidance, finding your companions is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You won't find them even after all these days. If you help me, I will not only guide you in the direction of your companions, but also provide you with the royal family's top-of-the-line flying boat."

"You should also know that there is no way to fly in this world, but if we had our flying boats, it would save you a lot of time."

The two women exchanged a glance, both knowing that there was some truth to what he said.

Xie Daoyun was about to agree when Yun Jianyue interjected, "Why don't you help us find out where our companions are first? Otherwise, if we help you but you can't help us, wouldn't it be a waste of our time?"

Xie Daoyun secretly admired her; Sister Yun was indeed more experienced in the ways of the world.

"Hahaha, some people actually doubt my abilities," Wang Youjun laughed heartily. "Very well, let me show you, so you won't just shirk your duties."

He stretched out his hand, and a special yellow talisman gradually appeared above his palm. It was covered with extremely intricate runes drawn in cinnabar, and its entire body emitted a faint red light.

The two women's expressions changed slightly. This was the first time they had seen talismans since the last time Wang Neishi appeared. These talismans seemed to have a life of their own.

He then turned to the two women and asked, "Who is the companion you're looking for? What are their characteristics?"

Before the two women could answer, Wang Youjun interrupted, "Don't talk about your sworn brother and sister-in-law, talk about the other one first."

His insight was clearly much sharper than his son's; he keenly realized that the relationship between these two and that so-called sworn brother was extraordinary, and that among them, he was probably the one who cared the most.

Naturally, they didn't want to give them clues from the start, otherwise what if they just left?

Yun Jianyue cursed under her breath, calling him an old fox, but she still described Yan Xuehen's characteristics. After all, Xie Daoyun hadn't had much contact with Yan Xuehen, so her understanding of her was not as good as her own.

Ice Stone Maiden, Ice Stone Maiden, I never imagined that one day I would be the one to come looking for you first.

As she spoke, Wang Youjun spread out a sheet of white paper. Based on her description, he wrote with divine inspiration and quickly sketched out the outline of Yan Xuehen.

He did all of this with ease using only one hand; his painting skills are truly superb.

Yun Jianyue's expression changed: "What are you doing?"

She thought of the paintings she had just seen, and was both shocked and angry.

Although he and the Ice Stone Woman were mortal enemies, he didn't want her to be plotted against like this.

Wang Youjun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, young lady, this is not a soul painting technique, it's just a simple depiction of her appearance to make it easier to find her later."

Yun Jianyue was still worried, so she went over to check and found that it was indeed just ordinary paper and drawing, and there was no tampering with it. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Youjun quickly finished the rest of the painting, and after making the last stroke, he couldn't help but pause in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Xie Daoyun asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, I just never expected there to be such a person in the world, like a fairy descending to earth," Wang Youjun looked at the two women deeply and said with emotion, "The two ladies are already as beautiful as celestial beings, I never expected that even your companions are so stunningly beautiful. I'm a little curious about what kind of magic this Zu'an you are looking for has, that he has so many beautiful women by his side."

"What nonsense are you talking about! He's just my older brother (friend)!" Xie Daoyun and Yun Jianyue said in unison.

Xie Daoyun thought to herself that it was fortunate that they needed his help now, otherwise, given Sister Yun's temper, if she knew that someone said she and Brother Zu were a couple, she would definitely tear their tongues out.

"If you say so, then so be it." Wang Youjun gave him a knowing look, then waved his hand towards the empty space outside the door, "Come on!"

Soon, a scroll floated in from outside.

The two women, with their sharp eyes, recognized it as one of the paintings they had seen on the way.

At this moment, the figure in the painting seemed to have foreseen something, and suddenly began to struggle desperately, letting out silent roars.

Because within the painting, no matter how much he struggles, he cannot break free.

Wang Youjun then brought the painting to his face and muttered a strange incantation.

Suddenly, the talisman in his palm shone brightly red, and the mysterious cinnabar pattern on it lit up, emitting a red light that enveloped the scroll.

The figure on the scroll had its face completely distorted. Then, as if sucked up by something, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew out of the painting, instantly entering the bright red talisman.

Seemingly nourished by soul power, the talisman trembled, as if it were dancing a joyful dance.

The painting was now completely empty; the spot where the figure had been was nowhere to be seen, as if he had never been in the painting at all.

Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun's expressions changed. Of course, they knew what had happened. In the blink of an eye, a soul had been devoured.

At this moment, Wang Youjun pointed to Yan Xuehen's portrait and said that he wanted to find her whereabouts. The rune flew into the sky and buzzed around for a while before stopping and emitting a red light that shot towards the northwest.
