At that moment, Gu Xijiu recalled that the magical butterfly was pointing in the direction of Luo Hua City. Was Di Fuyi really in the city when Yun Yanli had cast the spell? If he were frantically looking for her in the city, why wouldn't he pick up her call? She tried to contact him with her directed audio spell so many times. Did his device malfunction? Di Fuyi had always been a prudent man in everything he did. He certainly knew the importance of his directed audio spell. How did it break down in just a day?
If his direction audio spell had failed, the only way he could locate her was to go from place to place. After meeting Ye Ling, he would definitely know that she had left the city. He must have come into the woods to look for her after visiting the city. However, the forest was such a vast land. How did he find her so quickly?
Gu Xijiu recalled Di Fuyi's appearance when he first showed up. Her heart immediately sank as he seemed to be in a real mess. He would usually present himself in very neat clothes without even the slightest crumple. This time, however, he showed up in very loose robes with a few bloodstains. His complexion was pale.
Was he hurt? Perhaps she was just too angry with him to observe it earlier. She stood there deeply absorbed in her concerns.
"Xijiu! Xijiu!" Yun Yanli called her name while slowly approaching her."If you are worried about him, we can look for him together."
Gu Xijiu had never been so grumpy before."There is no need. You should rest. It has been a long day."
It was late at night. The only three persons left on the square were Gu Xijiu, Yun Yanli, and the clan leader, Hua Zhichun. Gu Xijiu did not want to talk to anyone at all. All she needed was a quiet place to sort out her thoughts, so she left swiftly.
Yun Yanli stood and watched as she slowly disappeared. He wanted to say something, but the words just could not come out. He seemed lost.
"Mr. Yun, do you have a place to stay?" Hua Zhichun kindly asked.
Slightly embarrassed, Yun Yanli answered with a tight smile, "No, it is my first time here."
"Mr. Yun, if you do not mind, I can clean up a space in the empty house for you. It is a little shabby, though."
"It is good enough; thank you." Yun Yanli thanked him while giving him a bow.
Hua Zhichun heaved a sigh of relief. Mr. Yun was exceptionally friendly, a character that was the complete opposite from Mr. Di.
"Mr. Yun, you managed to source a class-one spiritual crystal for us, thus, securing a place to stay for us all, which is something that we will always be grateful for. I only hope that you will not mind this house that is in poor condition."
Gu Xijiu had told Hua Zhichun about the source of the class-one spiritual crystal, so he was really grateful to Yun Yanli. Immediately, he assigned some men to get the house ready. Yun Yanli accepted the offer promptly. Once again, Yun Yanli thanked him before entering the house.
"Where will Xijiu sleep tonight?" He was concerned.
Hua Zhichun answered ambiguously, "She has her own place to stay; you do not have to worry about her, Mr. Yun."
Yun Yanli said nothing more. After bidding goodbye to Hua Zhichun, he entered the house.
...
In the faraway depths of the woods, tens of miles away, a man stood on a tree. The land glittered under the pale moonlight. A warm breeze whispered through the trees. The leaves danced in the gusting wind.
Some beasts could be heard howling from time to time, adding a sense of isolation in an utterly quiet place. For the first time, Di Fuyi no longer cared about his appearance. He leaned against the tree. Pale as a sheet, he closed his eyes to take a rest. He rested his head on the trunk for support while slowly meditating.
