Almost the instant Shushu stopped, Lu Li guessed what had happened. He subconsciously supported Shushu and, seeing her slightly furrowed brows, realized he was still a little worried, so he asked her a question.
"Junior Sister, what's wrong?"
Liang Qiuyuan, who was walking ahead of them, did not urge them on, but he kept an eye on what was happening behind them.
Hearing that Shushu had finally made a sound, his eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately turned around to look at Shushu with bright eyes, waiting for her answer.
He turned his head so suddenly, without looking back, that if a guard hadn't grabbed him in time, he might have already fallen flat on his face.
The intense gaze startled even Shushu. After confirming that he was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and decided to tell the truth.
"I did sense the presence of the Innate Nether Orchid, but it was too far away. It must have been moving around, so the information was somewhat elusive and not very accurate."
Hearing the result he wanted to hear, Liang Qiuyuan's excitement was almost palpable. He couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "That's great! Fellow Daoist Shu really can sense it."
He was so excited that he called her by her original name again. After saying this, probably worried that he might frighten Shushu, he suppressed his excitement and comforted her.
"It's alright, it's alright. It's normal that we can't sense anything because of the distance. We can't detect it at all anyway." It's unclear whether he was trying to comfort himself or Shushu.
Seeing that he was almost incoherent, Shushu felt a little helpless and could only quickly change the subject: "Let's keep going."
Liang Qiuyuan happily agreed, "Okay," and then urged the Liang Qiu family members, "Hurry up, hurry up and move forward faster."
After walking for a while, he seemed to remember something and turned back to ask Shushu with concern, "Are we heading in the right direction?"
Sweet Potato: ...“That’s right!”
Liang Qiuyuan: "Okay."
Then, during the rest of the journey, every so often Liang Qiuyuan would turn back and ask Shushu, "Is that right?"
At first, things went well. Every time, Shushu patiently answered "That's right" and even added a friendly smiley face.
But after most of the day had passed, this guy would ask two or three times every fifteen minutes, nagging on and on, completely losing his previous aloof young master demeanor, and Shushu couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
The tone of his reply changed from serious at the beginning to irritable, then to helpless, and finally back to peaceful. Every time Liang Qiuyuan asked a question, Shushu would answer in a completely flat tone.
During this time, Shushu also tried to explain, saying, "The direction is correct. If it is wrong, she will correct it in time, so please don't worry."
However, Liang Qiuyuan, who should have been fine, only remained silent for a quarter of an hour before reverting to his old ways, acting as if he would listen to no explanation and show no rebellion.
The commotion here also caught Liang Qiuying's attention, and she even came over to give Liang Qiuyuan a lecture.
Tell him that these people in his family are actually quite capable. Although they haven't yet taken down the Innate Dark Orchid, their positions are pretty close.
Therefore, he didn't need to ask so frequently; it wouldn't be too late to ask once they reached the inner perimeter.
However, Liang Qiuyuan kept nodding and agreeing when she spoke, but after Liang Qiuying left, he changed it to asking her every half hour.
Shushu was truly exasperated, but there was nothing she could do but numbly answer each time the other person asked.
In the end, Lu Li couldn't stand it anymore and used a silencing spell to finally stop his nagging. The whole world became quiet and finally stopped arguing!
Not only Shushu, but even the Liangqiu family members next to them sighed deeply. They looked at each other and saw the lingering fear in each other's eyes, as well as the shattering of their illusions about their young master.
They truly hadn't expected their young master to be like this! He was incredibly determined and terrifying; everyone was still shaken.
Everyone pretended not to see Lu Li cast a silencing spell on their young master, looking at the sky and the ground but not at their young master, let alone helping to undo it.
One of the more mischievous guards, thinking his young master couldn't see it, secretly gave Lu Li a thumbs up.
Even though he was flicked on the forehead by his young master the moment he turned around, he didn't care at all and was still smiling happily.
Maintaining this atmosphere, the group kept their pace. After half a month, they arrived at the inner perimeter of the Maha Mountains, and Shushu finally clearly sensed the pull.
To be precise, there are two senses: one is the innate Nether Orchid that the Liangqiu family is looking for, and the other is the corresponding Wood Spirit.
The sorghum carefully sensed that the two were in the same direction, only slightly apart.
Adhering to the principle of "taking money to solve problems," Shushu diligently took on the task of leading the way, gradually guiding everyone closer to the Innate Dark Orchid.
At the same time, Liang Qiuyuan was instructed to notify the other teams still in the mountains who were also searching, and to slowly surround them in an encirclement manner.
The inner perimeter is, after all, the inner perimeter. Even though their team was quite strong and numerous, they still encountered spirit beasts looking for trouble during their journey.
The creature that came to provoke them was certainly not a simple spirit beast; it took them some effort to finally defeat it.
However, none of this mattered to Lu Lishu, as Liang Qiuyuan truly kept his word.
From beginning to end, they were protected very closely, and they were not given a chance to make a move at all.
Shushu and Luli are both people who don't like to show off, so they naturally agreed and simply lay back and enjoyed it.
As they drew closer to the other teams, Shushu sensed that Xiantian Minglan seemed to have noticed them as well, and was moving around almost constantly, trying to break through the encirclement.
With them so close, the yam naturally wouldn't give it a chance to escape; otherwise, if it got away, it would be difficult to find it again.
So, Shushu also became stern and directly instructed Liang Qiuyuan to connect with the other teams and command all teams in real time.
The other teams initially obeyed Shushu's orders only because they were under the command of Liang Qiuying and Liang Qiuyuan.
After successfully stopping the Innate Dark Orchid several times and forcing it back into the encirclement, everyone began to take things seriously.
If Shushu tells them to go east, they will never go west; they will go wherever they are told.
Finally, through everyone's efforts, they successfully narrowed the encirclement into a mountain valley.
Standing on the hillside, they could even see a streak of green light darting around the entire valley from afar, moving so fast that it left afterimages.
