For the next two nights and a whole day, they couldn't find a trace of Shen Qianxue.
The disciples who went out to search for Shen Qianxue gradually expanded the search area, but the Eastern Territory was vast and the search was difficult.
This is too difficult!
Su Jin thought to himself that Shen Qianxue wouldn't just settle for any random place; she would definitely go where she wanted to go.
So, where could it be?
Su Jin recalled her memories with Shen Qianxue and felt there were too many possibilities.
But putting myself in her shoes, if I were Shen Qianxue, I might go...
Su Jin made a quick decision to go find it herself, and asked Su Hu to take the nun back to Liuli Mountain first.
Although Su Hu was worried about Su Jinxia, he was helpless and could not say anything to stop her. He could only tell Su Jinxia to be careful in everything and take care of her health.
Finally, Su Jinxia left with the disciples of Phoenix Pavilion, while Su Hu led the disciples of Liuli Society to escort the nun back to the mountain.
After traveling at a brisk pace for five days, Su Jin arrived at the place where she had met Shen Qianxue, Fragrant Maple Valley.
Coming here again feels like a lifetime ago.
Su Jin walked softly through the valley, recalling the scene from back then. Her heart was filled with countless emotions.
Suddenly, a dilapidated little wooden house appeared before them.
Su Jinxia's eyes lit up; this was the place where she and Shen Qianxue had lived back then.
Su Jin ran over and saw messy footsteps outside the door. Her heart started racing, and she rushed to the door.
However, the house was empty.
However, there were not only footprints inside the house, but also signs of a fire, indicating that someone must have been there in the last two days.
Although the area is rich in medicinal herbs, wolves roam at night, so locals don't stay overnight.
Then it is very likely that it is Shen Qianxue.
Su Jin felt a thud in her chest, like a small hammer pounding, making her feel a little flustered.
She hurriedly left the house and headed deeper into the canyon.
Afterwards, she came to the stream where she had picked up Shen Qianxue, where she had climbed cliffs and fought off packs of wolves.
However, Shen Qianxue was still nowhere to be seen.
Su Jin lowered her brows and looked dejected. Had she been wrong?
Suddenly, a person walked over from the other side of the stream. "Hey, little girl, what are you doing here all alone? It's getting dark, hurry up and get out of the valley!"
An uncle carrying a medicine basket called out to Su Jin.
Su Jin gave a stiff smile. "Thank you, Uncle. I understand."
Su Jin replied listlessly.
Seeing that Su Jin seemed to disregard his words, the uncle continued shouting, "There are wolves tonight! Why are you young people coming here one by one? It's dangerous!"
you?
Su Jinxia's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Uncle, have you seen anyone else?"
The uncle chuckled. "Yes, I saw someone coming out of the mountains this morning when I went in. Coming out so early, they must have spent the night here. I thought to myself, thank goodness I didn't run into a pack of wolves, otherwise..."
"Then, what does he look like? Is he very tall, fair-skinned, and exceptionally handsome?" Su Jin asked anxiously, not even bothering to interrupt the uncle.
The middle-aged man immediately understood, "You two know each other? He really is a handsome young man!"
The uncle laughed heartily.
Su Jinxia became excited again. If he left the mountain at dawn, he must have gone far away by now!
No, she has to hurry and chase after them.
As Su Jinxia thought about this, she lifted her skirt and ran back the way she came.
Outside the valley, Su Jin met with Fu Gang and the others, ordering them to disperse immediately to inquire about Shen Qianxue's whereabouts, and then he himself went to the nearest town.
She prayed that Shen Qianxue could rest in the town, as she hadn't gone far.
The winter was cold, and the town was desolate.
Su Jin asked many people along the way, but none of them had seen Shen Qianxue.
The people who had left gradually returned, but none of them had found any trace of Shen Qianxue.
For a moment, everyone was like headless flies, not knowing where to start looking.
Fu Gang gave the others a few glances, and Li Hei immediately came up, arms crossed and shivering, "Little sister, it's so cold. Why don't we find an inn to stay in and think things over?"
Su Jin glanced at everyone; they were all shivering from the cold.
"Are you cold?"
Su Jin felt alright...
"Yes, it's very cold!" Li Hei nodded seriously.
"Alright, let's find an inn for everyone to rest and have something to eat to replenish their energy," Su Jin instructed.
"Yes, yes, yes!" everyone chimed in.
So the group found an inn and went inside.
"Waiter, bring up all the best food in your shop!" Fu Gang ordered the shopkeeper directly.
Soon, the dishes were served one by one.
"Little sister, have some soup." Fu Gang ladled out a bowl of hot soup and handed it to Su Jinxia.
"Thank you, brother." Su Jinxia gently accepted it.
"Here, have a piece of duck blood," Li Hei said again.
Su Jin down...
During the meal, Su Jin was constantly fed until she was stuffed.
"Oh dear, I'm so tired. Why don't we just rest at this inn?" Liu Da stretched, looking like he was about to stay put.
Fu Gang and the others nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's too tiring. I'm almost at my limit."
Su Jin rolled her eyes at them. "Alright, I know how to take care of myself. I'm tired of this kind of trick all the way here."
The group grinned awkwardly. Although finding their master was important, their little sister had just recovered and couldn't be overworked. They couldn't afford to risk losing one person for saving another!
Su Jin urged everyone to get up, "Get some rest early tonight, we'll set off at dawn tomorrow."
Fu Gang asked one more question: "Does the young master know where he went?"
Su Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, "Since he's come to Maple Valley, it's very likely he'll go there again..."
Everyone strained to hear.
Unexpectedly, Su Jin glared at her, "I'm not a mind reader, how would I know?"
Su Jin gave a soft snort and went upstairs to rest, leaving everyone else anxiously waiting.
Li Hei scratched the back of his head and guessed, "Since Maple Valley is where we met, could the next place be where we pledged our love?"
Everyone suddenly realized, "That's possible!"
The next day, the group followed Su Jin and set off again, arriving at Misty Forest Mountain.
After Su Jin went down into the mountain, she didn't look around randomly, but went straight up the mountain.
Suddenly, another familiar scene came into view.
Su Jin ran over and saw that the place where the huge jade stone had been placed had turned into a pit!
"Huh? What happened to it? Who dug it up?"
That's outrageous!
With a sigh, Su Jin said to the men behind her, "You guys wait here for me, I'll go up by myself."
Everyone nodded and watched Su Jin go down the mountain.
Su Jin lifted her skirt and walked up to the top of the mountain. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, she saw that tall and straight figure.
Just seeing her back was enough to bring tears to Su Jin's eyes.
Su Jin walked over, and the man seemed to have expected it to be her, so he was not surprised, did not turn around, but calmly gazed into the distance.
Su Jin walked up behind him and gently hugged him.
