"So, you're good people, and Ling'er's father sent you to protect her?"
"Yes, Brother Xiaoyao, may I ask where the princess went?"
Faced with Tang Yu's questioning, Li Xiaoyao's eyes darted away, and he looked guilty.
Xu Changqing could only explain the cause and effect for him.
"It's fate!"
Shi Gonghu sighed, then looked at Li Xiaoyao and shook his head, "Since everyone is looking for the princess, why not work together? More people means more strength."
Xu Changqing nodded and said, "That's perfect."
Li Xiaoyao said dejectedly, "We've searched the entire area on our swords, so it's the same for you to search."
"Sword control?" Shi Gonghu looked at Chu Yang and Xu Changqing's clothes.
"Are you disciples of Mount Shu?"
"Exactly."
"Who is the sect leader?"
"Master Qingwei."
"Not Yin Ruozhuo?"
"That's the common name of the Sword Saint Uncle, the leader of the Immortal Sword Sect."
"The Immortal Sword Sect?"
Shi Gonghu was unaware of the sword qi dispute at Mount Shu, so he was a bit confused by Xu Changqing's actions, and his face darkened considerably.
"No matter what, as long as it's not that bastard Yin Ruozhuo, that's fine!"
Shi Gonghu cursed angrily.
Xu Changqing was secretly pleased.
Chu Yang clicked his tongue and sighed, "Sword Saint Uncle is truly hated by everyone."
Li Xiaoyao asked in a low voice, "What exactly is going on with that martial uncle? Even Ling'er's grandmother is cursing him."
Chu Yang whispered a few words in Li Xiaoyao's ear.
Li Xiaoyao's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed, "That's really something!"
Chu Yang quickly covered his mouth, "Keep it down, keep it down."
"So what should I call him next time we meet?"
"Call him 'Uncle-Master', what else can you call him? He has no relation to Ling'er."
"Something just feels off."
"Save your breath, you still have your grandfather to worry about!"
Li Xiaoyao: "???"
After teasing Li Xiaoyao, Chu Yang fell into deep thought. Since Shi Gonghu and his group had already appeared in the heart of the Central Plains, Anu should have arrived before them.
Thinking of this, Chu Yang was almost certain that Zhao Ling'er was with Anu.
So he turned his gaze to Tang Yu.
Anu's One-Thread Connection spell can connect her to people through red threads, binding each finger to a person, and Tang Yu is one of them.
A single thread can connect two people and allow them to sense each other's location.
Shi Gonghu was discussing with Xu Changqing how to find Zhao Ling'er when Chu Yang saw this and secretly took Tang Yu to a corner, starting to subtly probe her.
"Tang Yu, besides you, has anyone else come to the Central Plains looking for Zhao Ling'er?"
"Master Chu, I don't understand what you mean. The Witch King did indeed only send us here."
"I mean other people who know about Zhao Ling'er's existence!"
"The others... can only be the Holy Maiden and the others. As priests of the Bai Miao tribe, they were born to serve the descendants of Nuwa."
"Yes! None of them came over?"
"Probably not..."
Tang Yu suddenly froze, a quirky figure flashed through her mind, and a strong premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
"Godfather!" Tang Yu left Chu Yang behind and rushed to Shi Gonghu, excitedly saying, "I know how to find the princess now!"
"How many times have I told you to be calm and collected when doing things?" Shi Gonghu frowned slightly, somewhat displeased with Tang Yu's demeanor.
Tang Yu clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "Godfather, Anu may have come to the Central Plains. She can use the Thread of Fate to find the princess!"
A glint of light flashed in Shi Gonghu's eyes. "Continue."
Tang Yu said, "I can also find Anu through the 'One Thread Connecting' technique. Once I find Anu, I can find the princess."
Shi Gonghu snorted coldly, "At least you're of some use!"
Xu Changqing didn't understand what "a thread to connect" meant, but he could roughly guess that it was a spell to find people, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At least my vision isn't completely black anymore.
Next, Tang Yu became a living GPS, and everyone followed his senses, walking from day to night.
Li Xiaoyao muttered to himself, "Will it even work?"
Chu Yang flicked him on the forehead again, "Can't you even look at a map yourself?"
While clutching his head in pain, Li Xiaoyao took out a map and was surprised to find that they were heading towards Baihe Village.
The route of the operation was exactly the route that had been planned beforehand.
Xu Changqing sighed, "It seems that Miss Ling'er's emotions have stabilized. She probably went to Suzhou to look for us, but we weren't there, so she could only try her luck along the planned route, hoping to run into us!"
Li Xiaoyao clutched his head and wailed, "I was so stupid, why didn't I think to go back and check?"
Xu Changqing gently comforted you, "No one expected this, you don't need to blame yourself."
A few more days passed.
Tang Yu's fingers suddenly trembled violently, and he said with a look of joy, "It's nearby!"
Without saying a word, Li Xiaoyao stepped on his sword and flew into the sky, anxiously looking around.
Chu Yang activated his Observation Haki. Since he couldn't sense Zhao Ling'er, he decided to sense the others around her. In just a few seconds, Chu Yang received feedback.
"follow me!"
Chu Yang chose a direction and strode forward.
Shi Gonghu looked at Tang Yu, and Tang Yu nodded silently.
Although they didn't know what Chu Yang had up his sleeve, everyone still obediently followed behind him.
Li Xiaoyao charged out like an arrow!
As the scenery changed, several figures appeared in Li Xiaoyao's field of vision, especially the figure in the light green dress, which had haunted his dreams for many days.
Although the swaying snake tail felt a little unfamiliar to him, it couldn't stop his longing!
"Ling'er!"
Zhao Ling'er, standing in front of her, suddenly froze and slowly turned around.
"Brother Xiaoyao!"
They both saw each other and rushed towards each other.
Everyone watched this scene with emotion.
until……
A figure descended from the sky, abruptly placing itself between the two.
Li Xiaoyao crashed straight into the back of the person who came, and immediately saw stars, as if he had hit a metal plate.
Zhao Ling'er slammed on the brakes, leaving a deep mark on the ground.
"Master Chu...?"
Zhao Ling'er looked at Chu Yang timidly.
"Miss Zhao, I have something urgent to discuss with you!"
Chu Yang said solemnly, "Can we talk alone?"
Zhao Ling'er nodded.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Tang Yu asked Xu Changqing, "Master Chu's personality is truly hard to describe!"
Xu Changqing said awkwardly, "Junior brother, it wasn't like this before... It's a long story, but the situation has been getting more and more serious lately."
Even Shi Gonghu couldn't help but sigh, "He's sick, he needs to be treated quickly!"
Chu Yang led Zhao Ling'er to a secluded spot, took out the Demon-Eating Gu that had absorbed the snake demon and fox demon, and asked, "Miss Zhao, how should this Demon-Eating Gu be used?"
Zhao Ling'er, who had been feeling uneasy, breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain to Chu Yang the method of taming the Demon-Eating Gu. After she finished speaking, she asked with a smile, "Where did Daoist Chu get his Demon-Eating Gu?"
Chu Yang replied, "I happened to run into it while exorcising demons. I hope Miss Zhao can keep it a secret for me. As far as my sect is concerned, this demon-eating gu is not considered a righteous path."
