As Weiwei left the Peach Blossom Cottage, she encountered a young man in blue robes lingering at the entrance.
Their eyes met, and Lin Hengjin felt a little embarrassed, his face flushed, and he cupped his hands in a common greeting among fellow disciples.
"Greetings, Junior Sister Weiwei. I'm here to see Junior Sister Zhu Yi. Is she here?" Since it was so early in the morning, Lin Hengjin felt embarrassed to just walk into Peach Blossom Cottage.
As everyone knows, Master Yujing has conspicuously assigned Sweet Peach Peak to Zhu Yi. This is Zhu Yi's residence, and it's somewhat inappropriate for a male cultivator like him to be guarding it here so early in the morning.
Wei Weiwei didn't hesitate. She knew that Lin Hengjin was also from the Talisman Sect, but they didn't usually have any interaction.
She relaxed her guard slightly, but didn't tell the whole truth: "Junior Sister Zhu Yi isn't here. If you have anything important to say, you can tell me briefly, and I'll pass it on to you once I find her."
The implication is that Zhu Yi isn't there, and Weiwei plans to go find Zhu Yi.
Lin Hengjin scratched his head, glanced at the sweet peaches on the peach tree opposite, and without much hesitation, said, "Several families in Anyuan Town have contracted a strange disease. The children in the families are sick and can't eat anything, but they want to eat some peaches. I want to buy a few from Junior Sister Zhu Yi."
"I sent a message to Junior Sister Zhu Yi via Jade Token yesterday, but she didn't reply. So I thought I'd come here this morning to try my luck." Lin Hengjin felt increasingly uncertain as he spoke. He also felt that it was a bit inappropriate for him to come to Zhu Yi's Peach Blossom Cottage so early in the morning for such a small matter.
Weiwei didn't think much of it. She asked Lin Hengjin to wait a moment, and then went back to Peach Blossom Cottage to wake up Song Xiaohong, who had just changed her sleeping position.
Song Xiaohong was very enthusiastic. She took Weiwei to the shady spot in the kitchen next door and found a bamboo basket of fresh, big, sweet peaches for her. She swung her big tail proudly and said, "Take these for the child! Is it really worth buying such a small thing? Tell that person that we don't need the spirit stones. Next time you come, bring us more roasted nuts!"
Wei Weiwei was both amused and exasperated. "You're so cute!"
Song Xiaohong replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, remember to get a variety of nuts!"
Lin Hengjin accepted the peach with embarrassment, secretly noting Wei Weiwei's words and deciding to prepare some nuts to bring back.
They left Peach Blossom Cottage together. Lin Hengjin, still worried, asked hesitantly, "Where is Junior Sister Weiwei going to look for Junior Sister Zhuyi?"
"I...I don't know either." Wei Wei choked, she was also confused and had no clue.
Lin Hengjin knew that Wei Weiwei had concerns and was unwilling to tell him the truth, so he guessed that Junior Sister Zhu Yi must have encountered some trouble.
"Junior Sister Weiwei, let's add a Jade Spirit Connection!" Lin Hengjin said after considering the options.
Wei Weiwei looked up, somewhat puzzled.
“Let’s connect on the Jade Link. If Junior Sister Zhu Yi encounters any trouble, you can send me a message and I’ll go help her.”
Fearing that Wei Weiwei wouldn't believe him, Lin Hengjin quickly added, "Junior Sister Zhu Yi asked me to build a portable kitchen a few days ago. I've already improved it according to her new requirements, but we still need to wait for her to come back so we can check it together."
The handsome young man wore a gentle and kind smile, which eased Wei Wei's tension considerably. She lowered her head and took out her jade communication device. "Yes, if anything happens, I'll contact Senior Brother Lin immediately."
After Lin Hengjin and Wei Weiwei separated, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He put a concealment talisman on himself and secretly followed Wei Weiwei, wanting to know where she would go to find Zhu Yi.
Wei Weiwei rushed to find Xue Shan. In a corner of the sect's martial arts arena, the two sisters looked solemn, neither of them noticing that Lin Hengjin was also following them invisibly.
Xue Shan looked serious. "Junior Sister isn't the kind of person who doesn't know what's important. If what Little Squirrel said is true, that Junior Sister did divination and studied demonic magic before setting off, this matter will be very difficult to handle."
"That's what I think too. Junior Sister is probably worried about Zhao Cai, but at the same time, she sensed that the enemy was very strong and didn't want to risk it with us, so she went to find Zhao Cai by herself with Jin Bao!"
Wei Weiwei whispered, but Lin Hengjin, who was standing not far away, heard her clearly.
"But, Junior Sister went to Zhaocai with Jinbao leading the way. If we want to find Junior Sister now, where should we start looking?"
On her way to find Xue Shan, Wei Wei tried to use the tracking talisman to locate Zhu Yi, but the clues it gave her were too subtle to show Zhu Yi's current location. It was clear that Zhu Yi had gone to a very, very far place.
"Don't rush, I need a completely quiet place. Let's go to Peach Blossom Cottage first. Junior Sister isn't there, so there probably aren't many people there." Xue Shan gently patted Wei Weiwei's shoulder to keep her calm. "Perhaps I have a way to find Junior Sister's location."
Is it related to the demon race? Lin Hengjin was shocked. This was definitely not something his two junior sisters could handle alone. He had to find help quickly and make sure his two junior sisters weren't in danger!
Inside the Peach Blossom Lodge, the squirrels' beautiful morning and sweet dreams were interrupted for the third time, and the squirrel team was a little angry.
Seeing Wei Weiwei return, Song Xiaohong suppressed her displeasure and asked her what she wanted to do.
Upon learning that Xue Shan and Wei Weiwei were discussing how to rescue Zhu Yizhaocai, the little squirrels all perked up, their morning grumpiness vanished, and they busied themselves brewing a pot of hot tea and bringing it over.
Xue Shan formed a magic seal in her hand, creating countless strands of the Divine Bond. The red ribbon on the small copper bell changed in countless ways. Xue Shan concentrated and drew out a thread as thin as dust, wrapped it around her finger, and dripped a drop of blood into it. The thread continued to evolve and transform in the void.
Wei Weiwei dared not disturb Xue Shan's spellcasting and quietly stood guard to the side. Suddenly, she heard Xue Shan call her and ask her for a drop of blood. Without hesitation, she condensed a drop of blood the size of a red bean from her fingertip and hit the Binding Divine Thread in mid-air.
This time, the divine thread of destiny twisted and turned, condensing into several large characters in mid-air: West, Black Fiend Mountain, Soul Devouring Array.
After displaying a few simple red characters, Xue Shan was exhausted and covered in sweat: "This is the first time I've used the Divine Thread of Fate to find someone. As the saying goes, 'A red thread connects us across a thousand miles of earthly fate.' Before, in the Immortal Peach Secret Realm, I used a divine thread to link the three of us. With this red thread connecting us, we can sense each other no matter how far apart we are in the future."
As she spoke, Xue Shan taught Wei Weiwei how to draw the talisman for the divine thread of fate, and the two began to plan how to go to Black Fiend Mountain to rescue Zhu Yi.
