After sending off these cultivators, Yi Feng slept until daybreak.
Thinking of his disciple's condition, Yi Feng didn't dare to delay and continued to look for Cloud Road Flower in the mountains.
The snake eagle cooked food in pairs, and the rain and dew of the mountain springs quenched thirst.
Unknowingly, it was dusk again.
Finally, Yi Feng found traces of Cloud Road Flower in a mountain stream.
After picking the Cloud Road Flower, Yi Feng revealed a delighted smile. This trip could be said to be a bountiful harvest. Not only did he get all the herbs Zhong Qing needed, he also got quite a lot of wild game.
Of course, an unexpected gain was the ring in his hand.
This thing was really damn convenient.
However, it was already dark now. Even though he was worried about his disciple, stumbling around in the dark was not very appropriate. He could deal with wild beasts, but he didn't want to die at the bottom of some cliff.
"It looks like I'll have to find a place to stay for the night!"
Yi Feng sighed slightly. After all, he couldn't even find the place he stayed last night now.
Among the green mountains and clear waters.
A waterfall gushed down.
Bai Piaopiao held Dream of the Red Chamber in her white hand, knitted her brows looking at Mao Mao beside her, and asked, "Mao Mao, it's been so many days, still no news?"
Mao Mao said in a low voice, "Miss, I've already sent many people down the mountain to inquire, but they simply can't find the author. It's as if the news was deliberately blocked."
Bai Piaopiao furrowed her pretty eyebrows and said softly, "Then investigate further. In recent days, I've read Dream of the Red Chamber and Supreme Treasure again and gained new understanding about the books. I'm eager to meet the gentleman who wrote these books."
"Ah, Miss, I thought you didn't author anymore." Mao Mao pouted and said, "Otherwise you wouldn't stare at that mortal's poem all day."
Bai Piaopiao glared at Mao Mao and said softly, "You don't understand. The gentleman who wrote Dream of the Red Chamber is brilliant, and Yi Feng's poems also have a unique charm. He's an interesting person too. The two are not contradictory."
"Of course, I admire the gentleman who wrote Dream of the Red Chamber, while Yi Feng...I just feel he's a kindred spirit."
Mao Mao scratched her little head and continued, "But Yi Feng hasn't come around lately either. The food he grilled last time was really delicious."
"Even if he wants to come, I'm afraid he can't find this place now." Bai Piaopiao shook her head.
"Oh right, I'd forgotten if you didn't mention it, Miss. To avoid the havoc caused by demonic beasts in the mountains, we've activated the formation. Now with the formation open, not to mention Yi Feng being an ordinary mortal, even a Martial Emperor powerhouse may not be able to find this place." Mao Mao said regretfully.
"Alright, enough about that for now."
Bai Piaopiao put down the two Dream of the Red Chamber books, and returned her jade hand to the zither, troubled, "You know my cultivation path is zither, and I'm currently stuck at a bottleneck. I urgently need to compose a zither score to help me break through."
"Yi Feng's poem last time gave me a lot of inspiration. I wanted to use his poem as lyrics to compose a piece for the zither, but I always feel it lacks something."
"Miss, it's all because I'm useless. I know nothing about the zither, so I can't help you." Mao Mao pouted sadly.
"Silly girl, don't be sad for me. Time will take care of it eventually. Just focus on passing along my message and continuing to inquire about the gentleman who wrote Dream of the Red Chamber." Bai Piaopiao got up and rubbed Mao Mao's head, gently instructing her.
"Alright Miss, don't be too impatient then. I'll take my leave first."
After speaking, Mao Mao turned to leave.
But she had just turned around when a knock suddenly sounded from the courtyard gate.
The sound was so pleasant.
It caused Bai Piaopiao and Mao Mao's faces to change drastically, as if facing a formidable foe!
Without another word, Mao Mao drew her long sword.
Bai Piaopiao's long skirt fluttered as she sat back down at the zither, her slender jade fingers tightly plucking the strings, her gaze vigilantly watching the gate.
They knew that because of the havoc caused by demonic beasts in the mountains, they had directly activated the formation. Under the coverage of the formation, even a Martial Emperor powerhouse couldn't find this place. Yet now there was a knock at the gate.
It was simply horrifying when pondered carefully.
It meant the person was either a passing ultra-powerful expert, or a prepared enemy.
The knock sounded again.
It simply plucked at the two women's nerves.
"Miss, what do we do?" Mao Mao's face flickered gravely as she asked in a low voice.
Bai Piaopiao's beautiful eyes turned, pondering for a moment before softly saying, "Since this person could find this place, regardless of his purpose, a door can't stop him. Since we can't hide, let's open the door!"
Although she spoke , her jade fingers plucking the zither were even tighter.
Mao Mao nodded solemnly.
Biting her little lip, she carefully walked to the door, put her palm on the door bolt, and suddenly pulled it open.
