Qi Zhiheng had some suspicions and asked, "Butler, do you know who he went to see?"
"How...how would I know about the person the young master found?" The butler's eyes were somewhat wary.
Qi Zhiheng guessed that the two people must have gone to find him and Yang Yitian, but why didn't they tell the housekeeper their names before going to find them? They were so unreliable. Thinking this, he became even more reluctant to let his uncle be with Yan Yu.
At this moment, Qi Zhiheng completely overlooked the fact that he had not told Yan Yu and the others about Yan Yu's residence.
Qi Zhiheng said, "I need to speak with Yan Yu about something. I wonder if we could go inside and wait?"
The steward hesitated; Yan Yu hadn't given him these instructions. Both of them were highly skilled in cultivation; if they harbored any ill intentions, he truly wouldn't be able to stop them.
Seeing his hesitation, Qi Zhiheng said, "Steward, with our cultivation level, if we wanted to break in, we would have done so long ago. Why would we be talking to you so much here? We are just his friends. If I'm not mistaken, they should have gone out to look for us."
The butler eventually let them in. Qi Zhiheng was right; he led them to the reception room and prepared some tea and snacks.
There weren't many guards in this residence, but the residence itself wasn't very large either, so there was no need for so many people.
After the butler left, Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng started chatting.
Yang Yitian said, "I thought Yan Yu was from some great family and would definitely buy a very luxurious house. This house looks rather plain and ordinary."
Qi Zhiheng said, "If it weren't for the discovery of the ruins, Chu Hai City wouldn't be considered a very prosperous city. There's no need to build such a large house."
"I thought rich people liked to put on a show," Yang Yitian thought to himself. Back when he was a rich kid, he had no concept of how much money he spent.
Qi Zhiheng laughed and said, "In other people's eyes, our Qi family might be quite well-off."
Yang Yitian rolled his eyes: "We don't even know how poor we are when we raise our own space!"
Qi Zhiheng took a sip of tea: "This is also for cultivation."
"Speaking of space, how's your space doing?" Yang Yitian asked with some concern.
Qi Zhiheng shook his head and said, "It's still unclear. There's too much fog inside, so we can't see clearly."
"If I had known, I would have taken out the jade plate earlier. Otherwise, we would have found Uncle by now and wouldn't be waiting here," Yang Yitian muttered.
Qi Zhiheng hadn't thought much about it at the time; he had no idea that the fusion would take so long: "How dare you say that to me? Why did you put the jade plate in my space for no reason?"
"I just forgot, didn't I? I won't do it again next time." Yang Yitian said, then fell silent, feeling guilty.
The two waited until nightfall.
"Don't worry, they're so capable, they should be fine. We'll go ask around the south again tomorrow," Yan Yu's voice came.
Qi Zhenhao was somewhat exhausted. He couldn't find Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian's spots on the jade plate, and he figured they might have encountered danger and hidden in the space. He wondered if the danger was still there, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't worried.
"Let's look outside again tomorrow," Qi Zhenhao said, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
The butler greeted the two at the door: "Young Master, two guests have come to see you."
Yan Yu said, "Guests? I don't know many people in Chu Hai City who know where I live. What guests?"
The butler followed behind the two and said, "One of them said his name was Qi Zhiheng."
"Qi Zhiheng!" Qi Zhenhao perked up immediately upon hearing the name. "You mean Qi Zhiheng? Where is he?"
"They're in the reception room. I led them there." Seeing how excited he was, the butler thought to himself, "It seems they really do know each other. Luckily, I didn't leave them standing outside."
"Alright, I told you they'd be fine. Now that they've been found, you don't need to worry anymore." Seeing his happiness, Yan Yu's smile broadened.
Qi Zhenhao nodded, somewhat apologetically saying, "You've worked hard these past few days, keeping me busy all the time."
"There's no need for such polite words between us," Yan Yu said, somewhat displeased.
"Okay," Qi Zhenhao agreed.
The two talked until they reached the reception room.
"Qi Zhiheng! Where have you been?!" Qi Zhenhao is usually a bit simple-minded and doesn't care much about his nephew's affairs. After all, his nephew seems much more reliable than him. But this time he has been missing for far too long. Even if Qi Zhiheng is powerful, he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. If he really encounters any danger, how will he explain it to his family?
"Uncle, I'm sorry to have worried you, but don't be afraid. Don't you know my abilities?" Hearing Qi Zhenhao's reproachful words, Qi Zhiheng felt a little guilty. Although life and death are unpredictable on the path of cultivation, being cared for is a great blessing.
"Alright, since everyone's alright, there's no need to dwell on it. You've had a busy day, why don't we have dinner first?" Yan Yu smoothed things over.
Qi Zhenhao only mustered up a little courage just now; normally, he would never speak to Qi Zhiheng like that.
After everyone took their seats and ate, the matter was dropped.
Since everyone was alright, they prepared to head back.
The next day, the four of them went to the capital together.
Qi Zhiheng looked at Yan Yu, who was operating the flying artifact, and said, "Young Master Yan Yu, why don't you go home?"
The Yan family, to which Yan Yu belongs, is not located in the capital.
Yan Yu smiled faintly and said, "I am currently training outside and do not need to go back for the time being."
"I don't think this is really a training exercise," Yang Yitian said, disagreeing with him.
"Oh?" Yan Yu looked at Yang Yitian and said, "How do I not seem like I'm going through a training period? Then what do you think I am?"
"Is that even a question?" Yang Yitian chuckled. "Isn't this just like you're pursuing a wife?"
Qi Zhenhao sensed the teasing in Yang Yitian's words and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Yan Yu, on the other hand, laughed heartily: "You're really smart."
"Is that even a question?" Yang Yitian said with dissatisfaction, "My origins have always been crystal clear."
"Okay, okay," Yan Yu replied perfunctorily.
The group discussed what had happened in the ruins. Yan Yu and Qi Zhenhao had only been inside once, and they came out when the island was about to sink. They had not been able to find Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian since.
He couldn't find their location on the jade plate, and panicked for a moment. He spent the next few days searching for their whereabouts.
Qi Zhiheng did not mention that they had entered the seabed, but only said that the jade plate had accidentally fallen into the ruins and sank with them.
These past few days they've been temporarily trapped by a formation. Qi Zhiheng is a complete idiot when it comes to formations, and Yang Yitian is only a half-baked one, so it took them a while to get out, but there was actually no danger.
With Yan Yu still around, Qi Zhiheng couldn't say everything.
Yang Yitian secretly felt a little regretful. They had caught quite a few shellfish, but unfortunately, they couldn't eat them now because the space was sealed off. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smack his lips.
A few days later, the group returned to the capital.
Back at the Qi residence, Qi Zhiheng placed the two boundary stones, one large and one small, on a table. Previously, the Moon Beast had pieced the boundary stones together, and Qi Zhiheng didn't actually know how to put them together.
Unfortunately, the spaces have not yet been fully integrated.
Qi Zhiheng probed his mental energy into his own space. Just then, a slight change occurred in the space. Qi Zhiheng could feel the space shaking, which meant that the change was nearing its end.
Qi Zhiheng waited patiently for developments. The white mist gradually faded, revealing its inner workings.
Qi Zhiheng's space was originally very large, so there was no difference in size. Now, in addition to what Qi Zhiheng had planted, there are many other plants, all of which are very old!
These must be the things from that original space. Qi Zhiheng was stunned when he saw them. There were also many mountains and rivers, and the spiritual energy was several times richer.
Qi Zhiheng guessed that there must be an abundance of spiritual herbs and items here. The spiritual veins from the Bell Tower space must have also come along. Although he didn't know where these spiritual veins were located in his space, it didn't dampen his good mood!
Qi Zhiheng entered the space; he needed to go in and check the situation.
Once inside the space, one can more directly feel the rich spiritual energy within. I thought to myself, the spiritual energy in the cultivation world must be about the same level.
"Senior Moon Goddess!" Qi Zhiheng called out.
At this moment, the moon beast appeared with an unfriendly expression.
Qi Zhiheng looked at the Moon Beast with a stern face in front of him and was immediately a little scared. Could it be that the development of the space had caused some kind of damage to the Moon Beast?
"Senior Moon Goddess, what's wrong with you?" Qi Zhiheng stepped forward and asked ingratiatingly.
The Moon Goddess raised her chin, gesturing for Qi Zhiheng to look up at the sky.
Qi Zhiheng looked up, his eyes stinging from the intense light.
Qi Zhiheng, realizing what was happening: !!
This is the sun!
"What! How come there's sunlight inside?" Qi Zhiheng was somewhat shocked!
The moon beast's face darkened: "It's the sun from that space before."
Qi Zhiheng thought for a moment. There was indeed a sun in the space of the clock tower before. He didn't expect it to follow him here! Looking at the moon beast's ugly face, he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
"Senior Moon Goddess, is there something inconvenient?" Qi Zhiheng asked cautiously.
The moon beast glanced at him: "No!"
With the presence of the Sun Beast, the Yin-Yang balance of this space is restored, and the laws are more complete. This is also very beneficial to the cultivation of the Moon Beast. Furthermore, many spiritual herbs can grow better by relying on sunlight, which is a good thing for the Moon Beast.
Qi Zhiheng was at a loss for words: "So, what is this?"
The Moon Beast snorted coldly: "It's just that the Sun Beast has a bad temper and always tries to take my time!" This is really annoying. In the past, even if he only showed his true form at night, this space could be his all day long. Now he has to give up half of it. Most importantly, the Sun Beast's personality is really too annoying!
