The village at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain is not big. The houses are next to each other, with waterways running between the houses. The main road is a road paved with bluestone bricks. At first glance, it has a bit of the flavor of a Jiangnan water town.
Tu Nian followed the address that Xu Chi left for her and soon found a small brick house, but after knocking on the door several times, there was no sign of Xu Chi.
"Strange, where is she?" Tu Nian tiptoed to look into the window, but the window was closed and no light came in, so he could not see anything.
Bo Qiu leaned against the wall and said lazily, "He's probably out. You made an appointment with someone without telling them the exact time, and it's almost dusk now. They can't starve themselves to death waiting for you."
"You are truly a great judge."
Tu Nian said sarcastically, "If I don't speak, will I become mute?"
Bo Qiu turned his head away out of contempt at her. Tu Nian curled his lips and planned to call her twice more. If she still didn't see Xu Chi, he would just use the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission to call her.
"Knock knock."
Tu Nian used a lot of strength in his hands this time, but instead of knocking the door out, he knocked out an old lady who lived alone next door.
The other person hunched over and pushed the door open with his mouth open. Tu Nian couldn't even tell whether the creaking sound came from the rickety door or the rickety old lady.
Taking two steps forward, the old lady squinted her eyes, looked at Tu Nian and the other man, and asked, "Are you here to look for Ah Hong?"
Ah Hong? Tu Nian was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, and then he realized that it was referring to Chen Chi, so he asked, "Yes, do you know where she went?"
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Don't bother, Ah Hong is gone!"
"Gone?" Tu Nian frowned slightly. "When? Where did he go?"
"Last evening, a girl came to the village and asked for Ah Hong's address," the old woman said, pointing to Tianzhu Mountain. "After that, Ah Hong followed her there and never came back."
"so……"
Tu Nian was a little puzzled. According to Xu Chi's personality, he would never disappear without saying a word, especially since the two women had agreed to meet today.
Did something unexpected happen?
Tu Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously, "Did the person who took Ah Hong away tell you her identity? Or what kind of clothes she was wearing? Do you remember?"
The old woman smiled, revealing only half of her remaining teeth. "How can a girl have such status? You mentioned clothes, I have some impression of them."
"The girl was wearing a dark pink dress with a floral print. I was wondering why she was so pretty but was wearing such a gloomy, old-fashioned dress."
The dark pink is the beauty festival, and that is the Taoist uniform of the Misty Rain Pavilion!
Tu Nian's heart instantly relaxed, and he replied lightly, "Maybe he likes it."
Fortunately, as long as it wasn’t the people from Mingdaolou who took Xu Chi away, everything would be fine.
After taking a breath, she took out a high-grade spirit stone from the mustard seed and placed it in the old woman's hand. The old woman was probably a little dazzled, and it took her a while to recognize the object in her hand. She was so excited that she couldn't close her mouth. She held the spirit stone tremblingly and looked at Tu Nian, "This, this..."
"It's a thank you for taking care of Ah Hong these days."
Tu Nian smiled and patted her hand, indicating that she should accept it with peace of mind. He then said, "Did she tell me when she would be back or what she was going to do before she left?"
The old lady replied bluntly, "No. I knew she left because the girl mistakenly came to me in the first place. Ah Hong didn't tell us anything when she left."
After bidding farewell to the old lady, Tu Nian didn't ask to wait any longer. He called Bo Qiu and left the village.
On the way back to the clan, Bo Qiu asked, "Are you going back like this without even telling that girl?"
Tu Nian shook his head. "It was someone from the Misty Rain Pavilion who took Xu Chi away. She didn't leave any message or say goodbye. She must be on some secret mission, and it's not convenient to use communication spells. There's no telling when it will end. The sect is busy, and Master is still waiting for me to return. For such a trivial matter, I can just leave a message via the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission."
"You are so straightforward." Bo Qiu said with a smile.
"Yeah."
Tu Nian also felt that her relationship with Chi Chi was quite good. They could chat, talk about things, and disappear when they were busy. The two of them had a good understanding in this regard.
The two flew on their swords. After a while, Bo Qiu suddenly said, "By the way, after I send you back to the snow, I need to go out for a while."
Tu Nian was a little surprised. She turned half her face away for a second and looked up at him. "Where are you going? What are you doing? When will you be back?"
These three questions made Bo Qiu pause, and then a subtle smile appeared on his face.
Tu Nian saw this and realized that his reaction was too much. He turned his face away with a little embarrassment and said, "I just asked casually. If you want to be busy, then go ahead and do it."
Bo Qiu was amused. He found a suitable angle to pinch her cheek and answered her slowly, "Go to the Demon Tribe to meet Yuwen Xuanyuan. If everything goes well, it will take six or seven days, no more than half a month at most."
Tu Nian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she pushed his hand away, "Didn't we just go there a while ago?"
She never liked having her face pinched, as she always felt like she was coaxing a child. Especially since Bo Qiu's body temperature was very high, it felt particularly strange to touch him.
Bo Qiu withdrew his hand nonchalantly and said, "I was so secretive that time, I barely even said a few words. I have to apologize."
Tu Nianbai said to him, "He deserved it."
Who told him to hide it from me?
Bo Qiu raised an eyebrow. "I'll be away for the next few days, so don't leave the sect on your own. If you do, ask your master and senior brothers to accompany you. But the kid who uses talismans and the kid with fire spirit roots can't be taken care of. They're too weak. At least your second senior brother will be the one who can do it. Of course, it's best not to go out."
After all, your second brother has no good intentions.
"puff."
Tu Nian was initially unconvinced and wanted to retort, but when he heard him say Song Chengming and Xu Ziqiao were "no good," he couldn't help but double over in laughter. "If Xu Ziqiao heard this, he'd definitely have a huge fight with you."
After laughing, he looked up and saw the white snow in the Far North. Tu Nian flew down with his sword, "Forget it, go do what you need to do. Master is waiting for me to return to pay the public funds."
As she spoke, she refused to even look at him for another second. As if she was annoyed, she drove Bo Qiu away and turned back to pick up her sword.
Bo Qiu stumbled upon the ground, and before he could raise his eyes, she had already flown out. He felt amused, but still summoned his spiritual power to warn her, "Don't leave the sect!"
Tu Nianyi didn't reply. Listening to his cold voice, her eyes felt a little sore.
But seriously, she is in her twenties, it shouldn’t be like that!
…
It’s really not the case!
"Damn it."
After cursing the original owner's body angrily, Tu Nian rubbed his eyes and ran back to the sect.
