The battle was over, and the courtyard returned to tranquility.
Bel Purewood told Kairuot, "This courtyard in Heavenly Dragon Town has not seen visitors for a long time. Bel Grandfather has been dismissed and demoted to a commoner for releasing you from Dragonfall Lodge without permission, and he has been sent back to Capricorn Planet. Everyone in the courtyard has been disbanded and returned to Dragonfall Lodge. I took the opportunity to escape and hid in the courtyard, fortunately not being discovered by them, so I stayed behind. Since no one has been bringing me medicine, my illness was only half treated before it was interrupted, which is why I have become this half-human, half-ghost appearance."
At this moment, Fairleya voiced her suspicion, feeling that the Masked Person just now resembled Feilbolai.
Kairuot couldn't understand why Feilbolai would appear... So he asked Bel Purewood, "Do you know who that Masked Person was?"
Bel Purewood shook his head to indicate he did not know. Li Girl interjected, "I have never seen a tall man with golden hair like the Masked Person in Dragonfall Lodge."
At this point, Kairuot began to believe Fairleya's words that the Masked Person was indeed Feilbolai.
They all followed a small path to the edge of a pond, where the lotus flowers had been overtaken by lush weeds, losing their former vibrant bloom. After crossing the pond and entering the hall, they were met with an empty scene; the furniture was covered in dust. It seemed this courtyard could no longer accommodate anyone. Kairuot had no choice but to call out to everyone, "Let's go to Kai Ruokun Master."
They quickly reached the edge of Terrifying Forest in their flying vehicle. Kairuot hovered in the air for a long time, searching but failing to find the wooden cabin where the Grandmaster lived. Finally, he spotted a unicorn drinking by a stream. He quickly turned towards the unicorn's direction, startling it away.
The flying vehicle landed in an open area, and everyone got out. Kairuot finally discovered that the Grandmaster's wooden cabin was not far from the stream; however, it had collapsed and was overgrown with tangled vines and weeds.
At that moment, the unicorn that had just been drinking at the stream suddenly appeared not far from Kairuot. It made its unique sound through its nose while one of its hooves scratched at the ground, making Kairuot's eyes light up as he exclaimed, "Laka!"
Kairuot joyfully ran over and affectionately patted its head, asking, "Where is my Grandmaster?"
Laka did not understand but simply nudged its head into Kairuot's embrace. Kairuot continued to stroke it and said, "You came just in time; take us to Dragonfall Lodge."
As soon as they entered Terrifying Forest, their flying vehicle was severely disrupted by electromagnetic interference and could no longer fly forward. With Kai Ruokun Master missing and Fairleya's Palm Navigator lacking a signal, finding a hidden path to Dragonfall Lodge became impossible. Fortunately, Laka the unicorn was there to guide them.
Li Girl's Lightness Skill was relatively weaker, so she rode on the unicorn while everyone else used their Lightness Skills to advance.
The combined fighting power of the four was particularly strong. In the Terrifying Forest, they encountered Buddhas and demons, overcoming all obstacles smoothly. After more than a day, they arrived at the banks of the Olympus River.
As everyone prepared to cross the river, suddenly, huge waves surged in the river, and a fierce wind arose. A giant dragon leaped out of the water, soaring into the sky and lunging at them with its claws bared. Upon seeing them, it quickly retracted its claws and returned to the water.
Kairuot, Fairleya, and Li Girl all exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the dragon: "Osei!!"
The understanding Osei crawled from the water to the shore, allowing Kairuot to pet it while occasionally wagging its massive tail. Then, obediently, it carried the four of them across the Olympus River with ease.
The west gate archway of Dragonfall Lodge still stood tall. From a distance, they could see it as they bid farewell to the dragon and continued toward Dragonfall Lodge.

Upon entering the lodge, Li Girl's first thought was to go home; she wanted to see her parents. Everyone agreed with her suggestion and headed to Fennel Dumpling Shop to visit Li Girl's Parents.
Wolong Street in Dragonfall Lodge was still bustling with activity, crowds flowing like a river, shops lined up one after another. However, Fennel Dumpling Shop had disappeared from the street...
The original location of Fennel Dumpling Shop had changed beyond recognition; its sign had been replaced with "Specialty Noodles." Although the shop owners were also an elderly couple, they were definitely not Li Girl's Parents. When Li Girl inquired, she learned that her parents had left Mars Planet and returned to Capricorn Planet with the old shop owner Belzon. It was clear that Li Girl's Parents had been sent back to Capricorn Planet because of her stubbornness...
After leaving the specialty noodle shop, Li Girl felt gloomy along the way, filled with guilt and tears welling in her eyes.
Seeing this, Kairuot came over to comfort her: "Don't be sad. In the future, we will go to Capricorn Planet and bring your parents back."
Li Girl shook her head and said, "That's impossible... Capricorn Planet is so far away; I might never see my parents again." As she spoke, Li Girl hugged Kairuot tightly and finally couldn't hold back her tears. "It's my fault for being stubborn; I've caused them trouble."
Kairuot gently patted Li Girl's back and said, "Don't worry. No matter how far Capricorn Planet is or how difficult it is to find your parents, I will definitely help you bring them back."
Fairleya came over and hugged both of them for comfort: "We will search together; there are no difficulties we cannot overcome. Don't be afraid; Kairuot and I will take care of you from now on. You are my dear sister."
Bel Purewood stood silently beside them with a mask on his face, unsure how to comfort her; he could only remain quiet.
Once Li Girl's emotions calmed down a bit, they all arrived at the side of the Dragon Clan's entrance. Just as Li Girl was about to walk inside, she was stopped by Kairuot.
He whispered to the three of them, "We can't go in right now. Let's come back at night."
Li Girl asked in confusion, "Why not?"
Kairuot replied, "Haven't you noticed? The people inside the courtyard are no longer those from Great-Great-Grandfather."
Everyone carefully observed the people coming in and out of the courtyard, and indeed, they did not resemble those from before.
At that moment, Li Girl remembered a place... She led everyone to a rather secluded wooden cabin to rest temporarily. This cabin was purchased by Li Girl's Parents from a farmer, and the family rarely visited it except for occasional outings to escape the world.
In front of the cabin was a fence made of Thorns bushes and vines. The door consisted of two wooden panels made from tree bark. In the center of the yard was an old well, with stone slabs and benches not far away. Perhaps due to its long abandonment, the ground was covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, and moss grew around the old well. Upon entering the cabin, they found that the wooden table and chairs were covered in a thick layer of dust.
They all pitched in to clean up, and within half a day, the interior was spotless. Li Girl busied herself for a while and boiled some water to prepare tea for everyone.
She opened a wooden cabinet to get some Fruit Tea and discovered a large quantity of Kiwi. She put them all into a bag for future use. While packing the Kiwi, she accidentally found a hidden door in the cabinet. She opened it and discovered many items hidden inside; she quickly called Kairuot over to take a look.
Upon hearing her call, Kairuot and Fairleya came over together. They looked at the array of items in the cabinet with great excitement. "This is a finger gun..." Fairleya said as she examined one item, picking up a dagger. "This dagger looks exactly like the one I have!"
"This is called the Dragon Slayer Dagger, and it's voice-activated," Kairuot informed her. He shouted, "Dragon Slayer, draw!"
The dagger in Fairleya's hand did not draw; instead, her waist dagger came out of its sheath. She picked up the dagger hovering in mid-air and asked, "How is my dagger on you?"
"This was given to me by Li Girl."
Li Girl said, "I found it at the bottom of Qilong Pool."
"This was given to me by Grandmaster. It fell into the pool when I was fighting with a giant dragon."
"It belongs to you, so I'll return it." Fairleya thoughtlessly tried to take the sheath from her waist to hand it to Kairuot, but he stopped her.
Kairuot said, "No need, you are the most suitable one to use it. However, the settings need to be reset; it has to record your voice before it will listen to you."
"I can use this one; it listens to me. My father taught me how to use it when I was young," Li Girl said. "Draw!" With her command, the dagger swiftly unsheathed in front of her. She held the dagger and said, "I didn't expect it would still work... I haven't used it in a long time."
Kairuot picked up a rectangular display device, and Fairleya immediately recognized it as the Navigator. Excitedly, she said, "It's the Navigator! Did your father also use the Navigator?"
Li Girl replied, "I don't know about that. But my grandfather held a high position at the lodge."
Fairleya eagerly snatched it from him, turned it on, and was surprised that the Navigator was still functional. It clearly marked all the streets, hidden paths, and locations of Dragonfall Lodge. Fairleya exclaimed, "Finding something after searching everywhere is effortless!"
Kairuot poured cold water on her excitement: "Don't get too happy too soon; the Alien guards are strict. Even with a map, it's still difficult to enter their base."
Li Girl asked, "So what do we do?"
Kairuot replied, "We'll wait until tonight when we infiltrate the Dragon Clan and see what we can gain."
Li Girl questioned, "On what basis do you say we'll find something at the Dragon Clan?"
Kairuot smiled lightly and answered, "By intuition."
