Mo Tian immediately stopped and looked around, his brows furrowing slightly. "One person is missing."
"Who?" Wan'er was also surprised. She also remembered someone. "You mean, your sister Qiao Mei?"
“Yes, it’s not just her, there’s also the possibility that something is missing.” Mo Tian sighed, reached into his pocket, and quickly pulled out his empty hand. “The fish tank, the fish tank that contained you, is gone too. That’s the scepter of Tongling City! No, I have to go find it right away.”
Mo Tian released Wan'er's hand, strode forward, and used his spiritual power to run quickly through the forest. He leaped up and down, searching everywhere in the nearby woods, calling out, "Qiao Mei, sister, where are you? Stop hiding, come out quickly!"
"Qiao Mei, come out here." Wan'er had already started searching in the other direction, but her steps seemed a little slow...
A moment later, Wan'er shook her head and walked out of the woods on the left.
"Do you have anything over there?" Wan'er asked breathlessly as she returned to her original spot. Seeing Mo Tian on the opposite hillside, she called out to him.
"No, they've probably already left." "Thump!" Mo Tian jumped down from the hillside, looking dejected. "I've searched almost the entire mountain, but I still can't find Qiao Mei and the scepter."
With his hands covering his head, Mo Tian squatted down in front of Wan'er, secretly blaming himself. Now that he knew her identity, he should have protected her properly. But now, he, Hua Mo Tian, had lost his sense of propriety and only cared about pouring out his heart to Wan'er.
"Don't blame yourself. Someone probably already had designs on it." Wan'er sighed and stretched out her hand to Mo Tian. "Something this precious, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't tamper with it."
“She still has the Illusionary Spirit Pill on her, and her safety is also a concern!” Mo Tian shook his head, raised his head, pointed at Wan’er, and then stood up. “But I have carefully examined her just now and did not smell any evil aura, so she must have left on her own. But why would she leave? She has nowhere to go. The best course of action is for her to return to Tongling City with me. How could she just leave for no reason…”
Mo Tian was completely baffled by this.
"Hearing you say that reminds me of the sigh the Turtle Immortal made earlier, and the strange things he said afterward..." Wan'er fell into deep thought. "I don't think this matter is so simple. Perhaps..."
"Let's not look anymore. She's long gone. We need to be careful, walls have ears. Let's go home first..." Mo Tian lowered his voice, looking into the distance. Suddenly, he took a step forward, turned around, and squatted down in front of Wan'er, saying hurriedly, "I noticed you were walking slowly and seemed a little out of breath. Perhaps you've just recovered and need to rest. How about this, you get on my back, and I'll carry you down the mountain..."
"Brother Motian, thank you." This time, Wan'er didn't refuse. She bent down and quickly leaned against Motian's back...
"Hold on tight." With her spiritual energy restored, things were completely different. Even carrying Wan'er on her back, Mo Tian straightened up and felt as light as a leaf. With a "whoosh," she shot down the mountain like an arrow released from a bow.
"Sizzle!" The two hadn't gone far when, at least 500 meters away from where they had been standing, a thick branch on a large tree suddenly trembled, emitting a puff of blue smoke. As the smoke dissipated, the branch softened and slowly slid down, then a black, twisting body quickly disappeared into the early morning mountains...
