At the very top of the semi-transparent system page in front of you, there is a gold and red loyalty progress bar that shows 100% loyalty, with the owner's name clearly displayed on it—Zhou Zhou (Zhou ****).

Although the loyalty of the other people was also 100%, only his progress bar was gold-red, bright and conspicuous.

Xu Jinhuan never expected to see Zhou Zhou's name again in this new world, and she suddenly had an unrealistic idea.

Could Zhou Zhou have transmigrated here too?

After having this idea, Xu Jinhuan didn't ask the system directly, because she didn't want to trigger any hidden missions that would lead to infighting.

Her eyes darted around, and she asked tactfully, "Xiao Wang, can this page only display people in this world who are loyal to me?"

System Xiao Wang replied immediately.

Yes, host. The loyalty detection function is currently only in test mode, so it can only track people in this world. Once it's upgraded to the official version, it might be able to work with other worlds.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Xu Jinhuan's smile deepened. Zhou Zhou's death had always been a regret for Xu Jinhuan, and no news could make her happier than knowing that Zhou Zhou was still alive.

Xu Jinhuan didn't inquire any further; as long as he was alive, there would be a chance to meet again.

Before that, she has to work hard to defeat the male and female leads!

As Xu Jinhuan thought this, he continued to check the loyalty test page.

She discovered that apart from a few who had taken the loyalty pills and were 100% loyal, most people's loyalty remained around 60%, which was just passing.

Xu Jinhuan was not surprised by this data. Given the current situation with external enemies, they had no one to rely on but themselves, so they would naturally be more loyal to her.

Correspondingly, this group of people will likely have other ideas after the crisis is over.

But Xu Jinhuan wouldn't give them that chance. She had done enough of making an example of them in the apocalypse. If one chicken wasn't enough, she would kill several more until they were scared!

Xu Jinhuan examined the items in his hand again, and his eyes flickered slightly when he saw the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

She hadn't had a chance to use it because she was in a hurry.

Now that there's a roof over their heads, they can't use it because the effective date is uncertain, and Xu Jinhuan is worried that it will affect things later.

Therefore, she could only regretfully put the Marrow Cleansing Pill back into the space in her sleeve.

Xu Jinhuan took out the one-time trapping formation. What she said before was true, such as that she needed to find a way out.

Xu Jinhuan glanced subconsciously at Li Xiaoxiao on the other bed and found that the little girl was already asleep, seemingly having a sweet dream, with a smile on her face.

Xu Jinhuan tiptoed out of the house and quickly left the bandits' stronghold.

She arrived at the Imperial Guard's usual route. According to inside information provided by System Xiao Wang, a landslide was expected to occur here, and the damage would be extremely severe.

Sending those Imperial Guards back to their underground home would be a piece of cake.

After surveying the location, Xu Jinhuan buried the one-time trap formation in the ground.

After the incantation was recited, a golden light, visible only to Xu Jinhuan, appeared above the trapping formation and slowly spread out.

"Now I can finally get a good night's sleep."

Xu Jinhuan yawned and returned to the village with a smile.

While Xu Jinhuan slept soundly, the Fifth Prince Lei Tingjun had not had a moment of peace since the silver mine was moved.

"Go and investigate immediately!"

"I refuse to believe that with such heavy rain, they can find shelter at the edge of the sky!"

"If you don't find Youyou today, don't come back."

Lei Tingjun kicked An Yi hard and shouted angrily.

He had already arrived at the dilapidated temple in the pouring rain, leading a team of guards.

Unfortunately, the dilapidated temple was long gone, with only knee-deep water indicating its existence.

To avoid the rain, Lei Tingjun had no choice but to endure the puddles for the time being. After kicking An Yi, he leaped and sat on a Buddha statue in the temple that was covered in spider webs, and even used the Buddha statue to wipe the mud off his feet.

An Yi rubbed his sore buttocks and immediately began to arrange the direction of the guards' reconnaissance.

Soon, the guards scattered and began searching for Xu Youyou's location.

An Yi did not leave. He stood in the knee-deep water, vigilantly observing his surroundings.

Ever since Xu Youyou was exiled, he noticed that his master was getting more and more unlucky. In order for his master to live a safe and healthy life, he could only be more vigilant.

Lei Tingjun was completely unaware of An Yi's good intentions. After waiting on the Buddha statue for several hours, he only received two guards returning, but still had no news of Xu Youyou.

This made Lei Tingjun anxious. He wasn't worried about the safety of the guards, but about Xu Youyou. With the rain so heavy, he was afraid that something might happen to Xu Youyou.

"Master, where are you going?" An Yi asked, following behind Lei Tingjun as he walked towards the door.

Lei Tingjun replied with a gloomy face, "Since they can't find Youyou, then I will go find her myself. I believe that with the bond between us, I will definitely find her!"

An Yiqiang swallowed his speechlessness and patiently advised, "Master, the other guards haven't returned yet, and it's still quite dark, which isn't conducive to the search. Why don't you wait a little longer?"

Lei Tingjun glanced at the sky outside and found that it was indeed still dark. It was inconvenient to carry a torch in the rain, so he reluctantly agreed to An Yi's suggestion.

And so, Lei Tingjun waited for another hour. One of the guards returned, and after receiving the same news that Xu Youyou had not been found, Lei Tingjun finally could not contain himself any longer.

With a gloomy face, he led the few guards who had returned and, following his instincts, rode his horse towards the mountain.

As they walked, Lei Tingjun's expression suddenly changed.

Even the torrential rain couldn't drown out the sound of galloping hooves.

"Da da da"

Thus, Lei Tingjun and his secret guards met the imperial guards led by the crown prince's confidants at the foot of the mountain.

"Fifth Prince? What are you doing here?"

The Crown Prince's confidant, Cheng Junnian, looked at Lei Tingjun in surprise.

Logically speaking, the Fifth Prince should be in his residence in the capital at this time, and it would be most inappropriate for him to be at the foot of this mountain.

Could it be that he also discovered what the Wu family had done?

Thinking of this, Cheng Junnian glanced at Lei Tingjun suspiciously. If that were really the case…

Cheng Junnian subconsciously gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist. Since the Fifth Prince had appeared here, he might as well bury him here for good!

He made a move, and the Imperial Guards quickly surrounded Lei Tingjun and several bodyguards on horseback.

Lei Tingjun's expression was also not good at this moment. Although he did not know about the Wu family's affairs, the fact that the Crown Prince's confidant could come here with the Imperial Guards in such a grand manner must mean that there was something important to discuss.

He glanced at the Imperial Guards around him, and a wave of regret washed over him. He should have listened to An Yi and waited until everyone was gathered before setting off.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up in this predicament, besieged on all sides...
