Hua Qingcheng thought to herself that this secret passage was clearly meticulously designed, not only laden with traps but also ingeniously laid out. She couldn't help but feel curious about whoever built it, and she also became increasingly eager to explore its true purpose.

When they finally reached the bottom, Hua Qingcheng discovered that the secret passage here was about two meters wide. Although it was not particularly spacious, it was enough for people to pass through unimpeded.

She surveyed her surroundings, continuing to ponder the significance of this mysterious place, hoping that the Xiangyun horse waiting outside Baiyun Temple would be clever enough to return with a message...

On the other side, about a quarter of an hour after Hua Qingcheng left the palace, Mu Lige, dressed in a white suit, also left the palace with Xiaobai, who was carrying Hongfu on his back.

However, just as Mu Lige was riding his horse towards the north, Xiaobai suddenly turned around and roared "Awoo~Awoo~" towards the west of the city.

"Xiaobai, now is not the time to have fun!" Mu Lige on horseback saw that Xiaobai was disobedient, so he had to tighten the reins and scold Baihu.

"Awoo~Awoo~" (The scent of my mother and Xiangyun Horse is still lingering on the road over there!) Xiaobai tried his best to convey his meaning to Mu Lige.

Unfortunately, Mu Lige could not understand the meaning of Xiaobai's deafening tiger roar at all.

Mu Lige, who at this moment was only thinking about heading north as quickly as possible to catch up with Hua Qingcheng, saw that the white tiger not only did not obey his orders, but instead roared even louder.

Mu Lige was worried that Xiaobai's loud roar would scare the innocent people around, so he first shouted at Baihu to stop roaring. Then, after calming down a little, he began to realize that Xiaobai would not yell for no reason.

Thinking of this, Mu Lige's expression turned serious. He looked at the white tiger in front of him and asked seriously, "Xiaobai, did you find anything?"

Seeing the white tiger nod in response, Mu Lige continued, "Since your mother and the others' destination is Youzhou... let's do this without further delay. We'd better split up now. You and Hongfu will go to the west of the city to investigate, while I will continue heading north."

"If you receive any news about your mother during this period, you must immediately summon the Sky Summoner to fly quickly to Youzhou to find your second father's nephew, Tianji, and convey the situation to him truthfully. Do you understand?"

After Xiaobai nodded again, Mu Lige did not delay any longer and immediately parted ways with Erhu, then continued to move forward alone towards the direction of Youzhou.

"Qingqing, wait for me. You must be safe..."
