Chapter 1616 Fellow Daoist, Please Wait 26
As they were talking, familiar footsteps came from the courtyard.
Suppressing his regret, Lao Yu tried to distract Song Jinhuan by saying, "They're back."
Song Jinhuan hummed in agreement and stepped outside, eager to share the information she had gathered with everyone.
As soon as Song Yuande and his entourage stepped into the courtyard, they were drawn to the exquisitely presented dishes on the stone table.
Yang Xiuying looked slightly surprised: "Senior sister is up here?"
Judging from the timeline, my senior sister should have just returned from down there not long ago.
However, nine dishes cannot be prepared in such a short time.
Ma Chengliang walked over, raised his hand to clear the air above the stone table, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"
Song Jinhuan strode over, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the man beside him, and generously gave him a thumbs-up: "Old Yu, you're really something!"
Song Yuande and the other two looked at Lao Yu in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.
The man, receiving everyone's gaze, lowered his head shyly, "Everyone is busy going out, and I have nothing to do, so I thought I'd cook a meal for everyone, hoping it will suit your tastes."
Yang Xiuying exclaimed, "Wow, you speak so fluently now!"
Ma Chengliang: "My body isn't as stiff anymore!"
Song Yuande's face darkened, and he said, "Now that you are gradually becoming familiar with human affairs, you will live in the room next to Chengliang from now on."
He had just crawled out of the coffin and his mind had not fully recovered.
Now, in just a few days, this person has become not only humble but also shy. If he were still left in Song Jinhuan's room at night, it would be really worrying.
Humans and corpses ultimately go their separate ways.
Old Yu never imagined that his plan to cook a meal to make the young Taoist happy would lead to such a distant relationship with him, thanks to just one sentence from the old Taoist.
Beneath his slightly drooping eyelids, his pupils were a deep color.
Song Jinhuan had no reason not to agree.
After all, people need to have a certain sense of boundaries.
After dinner, the four of them discussed the information they had received in the hall.
Song Jinhuan briefly recounted what had happened between her and Zhao Kang.
Yang Xiuying then told him about the splitting of Qingyun Daxian's body.
Ma Chengliang mentioned that the time limit for finding the child was only two days.
Song Yuande assigned tasks to the three of them.
"Chengliang, tomorrow morning you will send the message to each of the various Taoist sects, and have them send a few people to search for the missing child."
Ma Chengliang: "Don't worry, Master!"
“Jin Huan, when the demon fled, I placed a tracking talisman on it. Tomorrow, follow its scent to investigate. Remember, you only need to know where it is hiding; you don’t need to confront it head-on.”
Song Jinhuan said solemnly, "Father, don't worry!"
Yang Xiuying suddenly spoke up: "Isn't it too dangerous for Senior Sister to be alone? What if she gets discovered!"
Actually, I'm better at tracking!
Song Yuande couldn't help but explain, "The tracking talisman has been tainted by demonic energy, so its aura is very weak. However, it contains my blood, which makes Jin Huan feel it even more strongly."
Yang Xiuying paused for a moment, then said, "I can go with my senior sister."
Song Jinhuan subconsciously turned to look at her. Xiuying's heroic face remained as cold as ever, but she was inexplicably cute, which warmed her heart.
Song Yuande smiled kindly, "Don't rush, you also have things to do."
"Go to Xifeng Village again and find out the birth dates of the children and the time when they were taken away."
Yang Xiuying's eyes brightened slightly, "Don't worry, Master! I will definitely find out the truth!"
Song Yuande had great trust in his disciple's abilities. After explaining everything, he said, "Yong'an has encountered some trouble in Meixian. I need to go there."
"Don't worry, everyone. Jiang Xuanfeng will lead you in my place."
