Yi Qing and Lonemoon had already been searching for a few days in that forest which had very faint traces of Spirit Qi, pursuing the trail of the Fiendish Cultivator. Although they had clearly sensed the location of their target on several occasions, they just could not seem to find the Fiendish Cultivator. They had gone through the entire forest many times to no avail, and Lonemoon even suspected whether the Fiendish Cultivator had purposely set up a misdirection array.

But just as they had been about to leave, Shen Ying, whom they had not managed to find, appeared out of nowhere in front of Lonemoon.

“Master!” Yi Qing was delighted. “You are not…”

But before he could finish, Shen Ying grabbed Lonemoon by his collar and demanded, “Help me.” She then disappeared from the same spot.

Lonemoon could not react in time and was dragged away. The next moment, he was shoved in front of a lady of Nascent Soul cultivation, a beauty of the finest degree who also emanated Yin Qi all around.

“A Fiendish Cultivator!” Alarmed, Lonemoon took a step back and said in a lowered voice, “Shen Ying, what are you up to?”

The next moment, he realized the other party had a familiar-looking fan-like weapon in her hand. “That’s my intrinsic Dharmic artifact!” Why was it in the hands of a Fiendish Cultivator?!

Wait a second! That flute and jade piece seemed familiar too; he subconsciously searched his storage bag. “Holy shit, why are they in your hands?” When were they stolen? He had no recollection of it.

“I gave them to her!” Shen Ying replied.

“You?” Lonemoon turned back and looked at her as if he had seen a ghost. “What’s your problem? Why would you take my intrinsic Dharmic artifact for no reason?” More so, giving it to a Fiendish Cultivator to play with? Where was the camaraderie between fellow villagers?

“Who took your things.” Shen Ying glared at him. “You obviously forgot to take them, so that’s why I picked them up.”

“…” Uh, such a thing had happened? He looked back on his memories and remembered that he had indeed introduced these weapons to her. Could it have been at that time? But he was not a careless person. Why would he have forgotten to keep them after showing them to her?

“Since these items belong to you, Supremacy, then I shall return them to you!” It was only then that Qi Chengyu recovered from the shock of Shen Ying dragging a Soul Formation Supremacy over, quickly returning the items in her hands with some anxiety. Although Shen Ying had good intentions, she was a Fiendish Cultivator after all; if the other party had hostile intentions, she would not be able to escape from a Soul Formation cultivator.

Lonemoon received his Dharma artifacts and inspected them with suspicion before putting them away. The number of questions in his mind only kept growing. Who exactly was this Fiendish Cultivator? Why did Shen Ying want to help her?

But before he could ask, Yi Qing had caught up.

“Master!” He hurriedly flew down and then saw Qi Chengyu at the side. He looked over with caution but did not immediately take action, instead quickly coming over to Shen Ying. “It was my carelessness to have let Master experience such a predicament. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. I’m actually pretty well.”

“I have an issue!” Lonemoon rolled his eyes, grabbed his reclaimed Dharma artifacts and asked, “Shen Ying, what exactly is happening? Do you know how long we’ve been searching for you?”

“I know.” Shen Ying nodded. “I saw the both of you searching around the opposite shore of the river for about seven to eight days.”

“…” Opposite shore of the river!

“Holy shit!” Lonemoon exploded. “What the heck, why didn’t you call out to us when you saw us?”

“I called out but you didn’t hear it.” She wore an innocent look. After all, there was a river between the shores. “Also, you guys didn’t call for me!” How would I have known that you were looking for me?

Lonemoon and Yi Qing: “…” They suddenly felt like checking if they were blind.

“Right, I even left a chicken by the shore for both of you. Did you guys see it?” She was certainly a good boss.

Lonemoon and Yi Qing: “…” So it turned out that the fifth-level spirit beast on the opposite shore was left by her? They had been wondering which idiotic hunter had forgotten to take his spirit beast!

But the most important thing was…

Since you could leave a chicken, couldn’t you have just left a note?!

“Alright, since the items are all set,and it’s getting late, let’s start moving!” Shen Ying nudged at Qi Chengyu, urging her, “You can fly now.”

“Oh!” Qi Chengyu did not react in time and was dazed for a moment. Go? Go where?

Instead, it was Yi Qing at the side who heard and responded to her instructions. He summoned his spirit sword and stretched out his hand. “Master, do let me give you a lift.”

“Thank you.” Shen Ying immediately hopped onto the sword and then looked towards Qi Chengyu. “Sister, you lead the way!”
