Chapter 57 The Hundred Flowers Sect's Grand Search for People

Shu Yuanlan changed the subject.

"How did you know I would come out from here?"

Su Yu opened her mouth without changing her expression: "I have connections."

In the Ghost Market of the Spirit Realm, apart from the upper levels who are descendants of the demon race and know about the affairs of the demon realm, many of the lower-level staff are local humans recruited.

Since Su Yu gave that answer, Shu Yuanlan didn't pursue the matter further.

Although this eldest nephew has quite a lot of connections.

After exchanging a few simple greetings, Su Yu took her to the accommodations arranged for her in the ghost market.

Shu Yuanlan sighed very loudly.

Su Yu smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Uncle Lan?"

Shu Yuanlan was not intimidated at all, and looked up with expectant eyes: "Senior Nephew, everyone in the Hundred Flowers Sect is vegetarian. Aunt Lan hasn't had barbecue in a long time."

Su Yu's lips twitched. He was charmed by the cub's cute appearance, but then he remembered that the two souls inside this body were many years older than him, yet they were still pretending to be cubs.

He misses Twelve, he misses A Yao, those are the real children he raised.

Su Yu finally covered her face and sighed.

"Eat it, I'll bring it to you tonight."

In short, the demon has been found. Staying in the Ghost Market in his territory ensures that news about other materials and elixirs can be relayed promptly, and safety is guaranteed.

After all, they are considered outsiders in the spirit world, so it's best to be cautious.

Trouble came quickly.

Su Yu sat expressionlessly in the study, looking at the report presented below.

This is the fourth day since he brought Shu Yuanlan back to the Ghost Market.

The Hundred Flowers Sect hopes to issue a bounty in the Ghost Market to find Lanlan.

Besides trading, the Ghost Market also acts as a middleman for bounty quests. Anyone can post or accept quests, but the Ghost Market charges a fee.

The Great Ghost City in Qingyang Domain also knew that the child named Lanlan was related to the Ghost Lord, so they made an excuse to refuse to register the mission and reported the recent abnormalities to the Ghost Lord's faction.

It seems that when they couldn't find Shu Yuanlan at night, they started searching all over the sect's territory.

This is still considered normal.

However, since they couldn't find him, the Hundred Flowers Sect quickly began searching for Shu Yuanlan within the Qingyang Domain, and even went to the Ghost Market to offer him a mission.

The entire operation revealed an undisguised impatience and brutality.

Although Uncle Lan's soul was damaged, he was not stupid. When he was alone, he would pretend to be an ordinary child to avoid more trouble.

An ordinary child who was picked up by the disciples and brought back to the sect by chance, even if he were really lost, would not be worth the entire sect searching for him, or even spending a lot of manpower and resources to find him.

He saw that his Uncle Lan and the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect got along quite well a few days ago, so what major incident could he have caused that would alarm the entire sect?

We need to find her first.

Su Yu found Cang Dan and asked Lan Lan where she had gone to play today.

As long as we're still near the ghost market, it's fine.

Cang Dan looked down at the communication stone.

"Lanlan, she heard that a new secret realm has appeared in Qingyang Domain and wants to go see it. Du He will try to persuade her to..."

"Du He has been shaken off?!"

He spoke with great suspicion and uncertainty about what he said next.

To prevent any accidents from happening to the child that the Ghost Lord valued, he specially sent his subordinate Du He to secretly follow her.

Normally, Du He wouldn't interfere with the child, only showing up when there was danger.

Du He's cultivation level at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm was sufficient to handle most situations, but now he could even lose track of a three- or four-year-old child.

Cang Dan's expression changed, and he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't presumptuously tried to probe the Ghost Lord's true cultivation level.

Even a mere child beside the Demon Lord possesses such power...

As expected of the Demon Lord!

He then became happy again. The boss was amazing, and his subordinates were also very bold.

Since she managed to shake off Du He, Cang Dan figured the little girl shouldn't be in any serious trouble; at least she could escape.

Cang Dan felt the situation was alright.

But Su Yu's mood was not very optimistic.

After Cang Dan finished speaking, he tried to send a message to Shu Yuanlan using the communication stone, but he didn't receive a single reply.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and said calmly, "Find her first, just make sure we can stay connected. Let her play around in the secret realm."

"Also, send someone to investigate what's going on with the Hundred Flowers Sect."

Shu Yuanlan and Wu Xi's survival is naturally not a problem; at most, their demon identities will be discovered and they will be wanted by the spirit world.

Then he either needs the Ghost Market's influence to cover for them, or his master and uncle will have to return to the Demon Realm.

He hasn't figured out the boundary positioning yet, he hasn't found all the materials, and the regulations for the transfer of goods between the Ghost Market, the Demon Realm, and the Spirit Realm haven't been fully established. In short, he'd better hope that nothing goes wrong with those two unreliable elders!

After most of the day, Du He finally found the Ghost Lord's son at the border between the Free Domain and the Azure Sun Domain. Just as the troublesome boy realized he was trying to leave, he shouted, "Wait! I'm just delivering a message!"

As soon as he shouted it out, Du He's face turned a little red, but it wasn't very noticeable because of his dark skin.

He still prefers to operate in the shadows.

Seeing the child stop and look at him, Du He breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped forward, bent down and whispered, "Miss Lanlan, that person has decided not to interfere with your actions, but hopes to maintain smooth communication with you."

Because they were in a bustling market at the border, Du cautiously swallowed the words "Demon Lord".

"I understand, I'll contact him. You can go back now."

Du was taken aback, feeling that Lanlan's attitude seemed different from usual.

Maybe they were tired from running so far.

Without giving it much thought, he nodded in acknowledgment and then concealed himself, returning to his most comfortable state before heading back to the Ghost Market in the Free Domain to report back.

At this time, the Hundred Flowers Sect.

"Crackling and popping—"

"Crash!"

The sound of something being smashed came from inside the side hall.

"Can't find it? Of course we can find it! How far could a child run even if he did? Huh!"

"What about Chang Le Fang? What about Qing Ping Street? Have you looked for them?"

"I! I understand—"

"Tell me! Was it you! Did you deliberately let him escape?! You just can't stand to see me doing well!"

Bai Ming remained expressionless, quietly gazing at the seemingly insane young man before him. Only after the young man had caught his breath did he speak softly, "Junior brother, of course I want you to be well."

"Want me to be alright? Fine," Bai Le sneered, her voice sinister, "Then I'll trouble Senior Sister to bring that boy named Lanlan back."

"After all, you're the most amazing senior sister, you can definitely do it, right?"

"I'll do my best."

After saying this, Bai Ming ignored the commotion of the boy behind him and left swiftly.

The child named Lanlan was eventually discovered.

Baiming thought with some regret, but that didn't stop her from conveying Bailu's search order word for word.

Bai Le is, after all, the leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect and the child of her master.

A newly arrived junior sister cautiously approached her and asked nervously, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with Lanlan?"

Even though Lanlan ran away, it doesn't have to be treated like catching a fugitive.

Bai Ming revealed a gentle smile, still the most popular senior sister in the Hundred Flowers Sect.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. Just focus on completing the sect's mission."

"Ah... okay, senior sister."
