"Mickey, let me tell you..." Fairy Butterfly whispered in the magpie's ear again.
The magpie listened with great interest, beaming with joy and nodding repeatedly.
Ji Fengyao withdrew her nearly dissipated soul, her face paler than ever before. When she opened her eyes, her body swayed and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Shang Xiye reacted quickly and pulled her into his arms, asking with concern, "Yaoyao, how are you feeling?"
Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao quickly gathered around, eager to ask:
"Yao'er, did you run into some bad people?"
"Little sister, are you hurt?"
"Little Yao'er, are you alright?"
Looking at the people around her who cared about her, Ji Fengyao felt Shang Xiye's hand pressing against her back, channeling spiritual energy into her. Feeling warm inside, she sweetly chuckled, "I'm fine, I've found the magpie."
"Where is Que'er? Is she alright?" Wuhen asked excitedly as he stepped forward.
"Sister, who captured the magpie? Was it the Chen family, the Crown Prince, or the Emperor?" Ji Fengming clenched his fist in a fit of rage. "Tell your brother right now, and I'll take men to wipe them out and bring the magpie back!"
“I’ll go too!” Wuhen immediately chimed in.
Ji Chenhai raised his hand and smacked Ji Fengming on the back of the head, glaring angrily and saying, "Tell you what? Didn't you see how pale Yao'er's face is? Can't you let your sister catch her breath before you talk!"
"Oh, then, little sister, you should rest now," Ji Fengming immediately shut up.
Although Wuhen was also very anxious to know the condition and whereabouts of Xique, he could only hold back his words when he saw that Ji Fengyao's expression was indeed very bad.
Ji Fengyao struggled to sit up a little, took out two drops of Earth Marrow from her storage space, and said softly with a smile, "Father, I'm fine, you don't need to worry, and Xique is fine too. Xique is currently in the hands of the Crown Prince's people, but the person who took Xique is not one of the Crown Prince's people. I suspect it was done by that person hiding in the palace."
Ji Fengyao recounts her encounter near the deserted temple when the spirit butterfly was searching for the magpie.
She also carefully explained to everyone the current situation of Xique and the things she discussed with Xique.
Everyone was surprised and frightened upon hearing this, and they all felt a lingering fear for Ji Fengyao:
“Yao’er, from now on, let your father do such dangerous things!” Ji Chenhai said.
“Your soul power isn’t enough, so it’s most suitable for me to do it,” Shang Xiye said softly, picking up where Ji Chenhai left off.
"Hey, what's there to argue about? Of course I'll do something this exciting. You know I love adventure the most," Ji Fengming said casually.
Ji Fengyao chuckled helplessly: "Alright, stop arguing. My immortal master said that the Spirit Butterfly Technique cannot be mastered until one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage; it was only after he enlightened me in a dream that I was able to barely summon the Spirit Butterfly."
The most urgent task now is to quickly shake off these swarms of pursuers, reach the Northwest, and then return to Kyoto as soon as the war is over.
Then, Ji Fengyao's expression turned serious, and she said earnestly, "We don't know what the person hiding in the palace is up to, but judging from their act of capturing the magpie and sending it to the Crown Prince, this person should be an enemy, not a friend."
This group is incredibly powerful; so powerful that if they were to attack us, we would be completely annihilated. Strengthening our forces is of paramount importance!
“Yao’er is right. We have not yet found the nemesis of the Ji family. If that person’s group is indeed the nemesis of the Ji family, then we—” Ji Chenhai paused, his tone extremely serious: “we have a tough battle to fight!”
