After the dinner, Feng Shao led everyone to the training room. After feeling the rich spiritual energy in the training room, everyone cheered and couldn't wait to find a place to sit and practice.
As far as they can remember, the last time they were so eager to practice was when they first became disciples.
While everyone was concentrating on practicing, Du Yuanxi said to Feng Shao privately: "Feng Shao, I have something to ask of you."
Feng Shao was startled, and said in a deep voice: "Third Uncle is asking about Junior Sister Li?"
The one Feng Shao was referring to was naturally the second disciple of the second branch, Li Qingying.
Du Yuanxi sighed and said, "That's right! Qingying has been missing since she broke out from Biyun that night. The sect has been sending people to look for her for the past few months, but to no avail. Do you have any way to find Qingying?"
Feng Shao pondered and said, "I wonder if Third Uncle has figured out Junior Sister Li's whereabouts?"
"This... Originally, in Taiwei Sect, only the eldest brother was good at deducing the Dao, and the other one was you. My second brother and I are not very good at deducing the Dao."
Feng Shao said: "In that case, I will give it a try!"
Feng Shao immediately took out six copper coins and began to deduce. These six copper coins were bought by Feng Shao from Linglong Pavilion at a high price. They carried a trace of heavenly aura and could reveal a trace of heavenly secrets. These copper coins were not the best deduction tools, but for Feng Shao at that time, he could only afford this level of deduction tools.
After a while, the deduction was over. Looking at the hexagram displayed above, Feng Shao couldn't help but frown.
Du Yuanxi quickly asked: "How?"
Feng Shao was silent for a long while before he slowly said, "The hexagram seems to be obscured by the secrets of heaven, and it is a little blurry. We can only vaguely determine that Junior Sister Li seems to be trapped somewhere. It's okay for the time being, but... if we want to escape, we'll have to find a glimmer of hope."
Du Yuanxi was horrified: "Could it be that Qingying is trapped in some dangerous secret place?"
Feng Shao shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. I can't deduce anything more specific. The only good news is that Junior Sister Li is still alive and will be safe in the short term. At least if she wants to escape, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Du Yuanxi couldn't help but frown, looking worried.
Seeing this, Feng Shao could only comfort him, "Don't worry, Third Uncle. This place where Junior Sister Li is trapped may be an opportunity for her. A blessing in disguise. This may not be a bad thing for Junior Sister Li."
Du Yuanxi knew that Feng Shao was trying to comfort her, but she could only sigh and say, "I hope so!"

Late that night, the Pig and the Rat met.
A group of traveling merchants were moving quickly towards Wuling City under the cover of night.
This was a small caravan consisting of three single-horse carriages. Including the merchants and guards, the entire caravan had only six people in total.
It was almost June 14th, and the bright moon in the sky was about to be full. Thanks to the bright moonlight, they were able to travel in the middle of the night.
One guard couldn't help but complain, "We've been traveling for three days straight, but why haven't we reached Wuling City yet? We have to travel so late at night. This life is really unbearable!"
Another guard also said, "That's right! Lao Zhou, why are you in such a hurry to go to Wuling City? Because of your work, my brothers and I haven't been able to sleep well these days. It's almost midnight, and we still have to keep going. What are you trying to do?"
Sitting in the front carriage was a middle-aged man who looked to be about 40 years old. He was the boss of this caravan. He smiled bitterly and said to the guards: "I'm sorry to bother you all these days. I have no other choice. When I got the news, there were only a few days left. But fortunately, Wuling City should not be far away. Don't worry, I will treat you all to a good meal when we get to Wuling City!"
The guard who complained earlier smiled and said, "That's great! But if we can earn more money, it will be much better than having a meal!"
The merchant smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay! After this job is done, each of us brothers will get an extra five taels of silver!"
"Hahaha! Old Zhou, you are still generous!" the guard laughed.
At this time, a young man who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up: "You guys, the price has already been agreed upon before, but you are raising it again now, isn't that too unfair?"
There were four guards in total for the caravan. Three of them were from the same group and had been working with the Zhou merchant for a long time. They had escorted Zhou merchant many times and were considered familiar customers. The young man was the fourth guard. However, he was a hitchhiker, and the price of the ride was to escort the caravan to Wuling City.
Anyway, for the young man, his destination was Wuling City, so this trip was just a side trip. And for the businessman, having more young men was just one more person to eat, but it would give him one more free guard. So the two sides hit it off, and the young man became the fourth guard.
However, the young man and the other three were obviously not getting along well. The two sides always found opportunities to mock each other. The three guards felt that the young man was always arrogant and too arrogant. The young man felt that the three were obsessed with money and too mercenary. Several times, the two sides almost fought. If it weren't for the businessman surnamed Zhou who kept mediating, I'm afraid there would have been bloodshed.
Although the young man was alone, he was not afraid of the three guards because the three guards were just ordinary warriors, but he was different, he was a cultivator, and he was about to enter the Golden Core Realm.
Of course, he didn't take just a few warriors seriously.
Generally speaking, cultivators and ordinary people are in two different worlds, and they rarely have any intersection with each other. As a cultivator in the Xiantian realm, if the young man wants to hurry on his way, he can just fly over directly. Why would he bother to travel with a group of ordinary people?
But the young man had no choice but to do so.
Because he was hiding from his enemies.
Three months ago, he offended Zu Shenglong, the young master of Qingfeng Tower, because of a dispute of arrogance. Zu Shenglong was an arrogant and domineering person. He relied on his higher realm than the other party and could not help but fight with the young man. But what he did not expect was that although the young man fought against a higher level, he easily injured him.
Zu Shenglong was furious and immediately sent his men to hunt down the young man. Qingfeng Tower was considered a quasi-first-class force in Dongzhou. Although it was not as powerful as Yunjian Pavilion, it was also full of experts. At Zu Shenglong's order, dozens of Xiantian and even Jindan-level masters launched an endless hunt for the young man.
In desperation, the young man had to hide here and there, running all the way west. His original destination was Bianyun City, because it was the territory of Yunjian Pavilion. And he had a hidden identity.
He is a disciple of Xing Qun, the head of Feixing Hall in Yunjian Pavilion.
In other words, he is also considered a disciple of Yunjian Pavilion.
In fact, the young man could have used the name of Yunjian Pavilion to scare the other party away. However, after careful consideration, the young man did not do so. There are three main reasons:
First, the other party may not believe it.
Second, the other party may believe it, but is more likely to kill you to silence you.
Third, regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, the young man had already regarded this pursuit as a test for himself. Anyway, he would be safe after arriving in Bianyun City, so why not take this opportunity to hone his fighting skills?
As a result, he was entangled with the killer from Qingfeng Tower in this hunt for three months.
As early as half a month ago, he had arrived in Bianyun City and planned to go to Yunjian Pavilion through the post station set up by Yunjian Pavilion in Bianyun City. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Bianyun City, he heard an unexpected news.
Lin Xiaoran, the daughter of the head of Yunjian Pavilion, will marry Feng Shao, the lord of Wuling City, on June 16th!
When the young man heard the news, he was stunned.
Although he was a disciple of Yunjian Pavilion, he had been away from the mountain for eight years. During these eight years, he had left his footprints in the entire Upper Region, except for Zhongzhou. He traveled everywhere to find a method that was truly suitable for him and become a giant. The reason why he did this was because his aptitude was so special!
It can't be considered good. After all, he has been practicing for so many years and has not yet entered the Golden Core Realm. This aptitude is considered superior, but in the eyes of a true genius, this aptitude is too disappointing.
It can’t be said to be bad, because if he can really find a method of practice that is suitable for him, then he can really soar to the sky.
This situation is not uncommon in the world of cultivation. There are many people with special physiques who are lost in the crowd because they cannot find a method that suits them. However, in ancient times, there were many strong people with the same physique who achieved great things. The reason why there is such a huge difference between the two is whether they can find a method that suits them.
Young people belong to this category.
The young man, who didn't want to be lost in the crowd, embarked on a journey of traveling around the world.
While looking for an opportunity that suits him, the young man has always been concerned about someone in his heart. This person is the daughter of the master of Yunjian Pavilion, Lin Xiaoran.
When he came down the mountain, Lin Xiaoran was only eight years old. But at that time, Lin Xiaoran had already revealed the beauty inherited from her mother. The innocent and lovely Lin Xiaoran was the object of care and love by everyone in Yunjian Pavilion at that time. And this young man was one of them.
Not only that, he wanted to go further.
In fact, Lin Xiaoran and him had a close relationship. After all, Lin Xiaoran regarded him as his brother at that time. When he was young, he often gave Lin Xiaoran some fun things, which made Lin Xiaoran laugh. And the ignorant Lin Xiaoran also trusted him more.
Over time, the young man gradually developed different thoughts about this little girl.
He wants to marry her!
It must be said that he was ambitious and courageous. After all, he was thinking about the daughter of the head of Yunjian Pavilion. He was just a disciple of Feixing Hall. What qualifications did he have to covet such a proud daughter?
But he didn't think so. He felt that Lin Xiaoran must also like him, otherwise she wouldn't chase him and play with him all day. But he also knew that with his ability, it was impossible for him to marry Lin Xiaoran. Even if Lin Xiaoran was willing, he couldn't get past Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao.
Therefore, he decided to go down the mountain to travel and find a martial arts method that suits him.
As he was going down the mountain, he said to himself, "Ran'er, you must wait for me to come back!"
