Chapter 98 - Young Miss Is Back!

The carriage moved smoothly throughout the entire 8 days journey. Of course, there was once they were surrounded by bandits but Liu Weimin and the Han siblings took care of it themselves.

They said that they didn't want Ye Wanwan to interfere and wanted to test their skills that they learnt from Symphonia Valley's palace. And they even had a competition on who could kill more.

At the end of the day, out of the 20 bandits, Liu Weimin won with the most kill with 8, Han Jianyu with 7 and Han Jinghua with 5.

It was really impressive! They had improved tremendously compared to last year. But she also knew that they had not taken out their special skills ye. Heh even when she asked them, none of them would answer her.

Alright, she had guessed so.

They wanted to keep it as a surprise. What a team she had.

..............

Soon, the carriage arrived at Mount Trux. Liu Weimin decided to send Jiang Ying Yue first before going back to his family's manor.

In the main hall of Yan Hua's manor, two men were drinking tea together.

One was an elderly man in his usual plain white robe, and the other was a middle aged man in royal blue robe.

The middle aged man, took a sip of his tea and spoke, "I say Elder Yan Hua, we have used all of our resources and all information that came back was that the last time they were seen was at the small town near Mount Trux and the next day, the entered the mountain. But why are they not back yet?"

Yan Hua took a sip of his tea too before answering him, "Aiya Bojing, no need to worry. I am pretty sure they are still in the forest, don't worry too much."

Yan Hua had a calm look that convinced the middle aged man that he shouldn't worry too much. That middle aged man was precisely Liu Bojing, the father of Liu Weimin.

Back then, both of the teenager's Life Orbs started flickering in red and they knew that their lives were in danger.

Then, their Life Orbs that contained their life essence changed color from white to light green and it had been that way since.

Knowing that his son followed after Jiang Ying Yue, Liu Bojing directly went to Yan Hua's house to talk about this matter before finding out from the old man that even Jiang Ying Yue's Life Orbs had turned light green before changing back to white.

But why did his son's Life Orbs remained light green?

Yan Hua said that it was probably because they encountered danger but seeing that the Life Orbs turned light green, it could only mean that they had strengthen their souls from their encounter. Which was a good thing. Having a strong soul meaning a higher cultivation they could achieve in life.

But how could he know that Jiang Ying Yue's spell that she did with Long Xing allowed her to mask the color of her Life Orbs to a normal one as well? Even Jiang Ying Yue didn't know that.

But just to be sure, they both send their resources to make sure that the teenagers were fine, only to get the same information everytime that they both were last seen entering the forest.

Both Yan Hua and Liu Bojing didn't reveal the news of their disappearance to outsiders and only a handful of people knew including their own trusted underlings and Fan Deming.

During the time when commotion broke due to the arrival of Divine Beast's egg, they both secretly went to Mount Trux as well but they couldn't find any traces of Jiang Ying Yue and Liu Weimin. Of course, the mountain was huge and they couldn't find the teenagers even if they were at further inside the forest.

But the entire time they entered the mountain, Jiang Ying Yue and Liu Weimin's Life Orbs shone and flickered brightly indicating that they were in the forest.

They both sighed in relief and Liu Bojing took out a treasure that could follow a trace of a person's aura even if it had disappeared 5 years ago. It was a priceless treasure and could only be used once which was why he was only using it now.

Liu Bojing placed Liu Weimin's Life Orbs on the small treasure before chanting something. The small treasure flickered after it had picked up the trace of Liu Weimin's aura and they both followed the trail until they arrived at a barren land. It was the same dead land that Jiang Ying Yue's team fell into.

The treasure just flickered rapidly there before dying indicating that there was the last time Liu Weimin's aura was left.

Yan Hua and Liu Bojing looked at the barren land that they were at. This land could only mean danger. Yan Hua took a step forward look around before performing a secret seal with his hands.

After a few minutes, he went to Liu Bojing and said: "No need to worry. They are in a strong array somewhere in this mountain and this place is it's entrance. Ying Yue's aura was last seen here too. They are not in danger because their Life Orbs didn't change to red so let's just go home and wait for them. We can't find them even if we search the whole mountain."

Liu Bojing agreed and didn't question anymore. He knew that this old man, despite being an alchemist was a powerful cultivator.

Following that, they both went back home and only met today.

Liu Bojing got out of his trance and said to Yan Hua, "Indeed, I shouldn't worry. But I just hope that they are fine."

Yan Hua laughed. "Bojing, their Life Orbs had been getting stronger and stronger each day and that could only mean those kids are in fact doing well. So no need to worry too much and be like me, relax. Let's give them 5 years. If they are not back in 5 years time, we will go and search for them no matter how hard it is. How about that?"

Liu Bojing nodded. "I agree to that."

Suddenly, a commotion broke and Housekeeper San ran while shouting "Master! Master!"

Yan Hua looked at his housekeeper, frowning in displease.

"What is it? Why did you run like this?"

Housekeeper San stopped in front of Yan Hua and even forgot to bow. He just huffed and puffed and pointed towards the door, "Y-young miss, sh-she is back."

Huh?!

Yan Hua abruptly stood up causing the teacup on his hand to fall on the floor but he didn't even notice that.

With his eyes bulged, he asked. "What did you say?!"

Housekeeper San repeated, "Young miss, young miss is back. The guard at the bottom of the mountain sent a bird saying that he saw young miss along with Young Master Liu Weimin and two other teenagers in a carriage."

What?!

This time, even Liu Bojing stood up.

He was about to walk when a figure in white dashed forward leaving only his silhouette behind.

What the?!

Because Jiang Ying Yue wasn't using Yan Hua manor's official carriage, she had to show her waist jade plate to the guard guarding Mount Caligo's entrance to enter which resulted in the head guard, who knew about Jiang Ying Yue and Liu Weimin's disappearance to send a bird to inform Housekeeper San.
