"What happened to you all of a sudden...?" Li Rui asked.
Mo Ruxi, however, could only smile bitterly, not even knowing what she was smiling about.
When Li Rui learned from the latter that Flower Mother had gone missing, he was at a loss for words; everything had happened in the blink of an eye.
"Then why are you here?"
Mo Ruxi's expression was not good as she recounted the various experiences of the past few months. She didn't know when a very formidable person had appeared, and she believed that Flower Mother's disappearance must be related to her! This person acted without hesitation, offering no chance for explanation, and her strength had reached the peak of Transformation.
This peak of Transformation was unlike any other; it seemed that anyone who got close to her would have their physical strength weakened, as if it were a special constitution.
"Is it the Hundred Void Cold Body?" Li Rui stammered, unsure of what to say. This type of constitution shouldn't be limited to mere legends. The air suddenly became eerily quiet.
Mo Ruxi looked confused and did not understand what Li Rui was talking about.
When encountering such a person, it was best to avoid confrontation. When they attacked, the opponent would weaken their energy, and that wasn't all; they could also absorb a certain kind of aura from others!
"Your eyes?" Mo Ruxi suddenly noticed that Li Rui's eyes had changed again, as if...
Li Rui blinked slightly, not quite understanding what the latter was saying. Could it be that he had advanced again?
Indeed, although Li Rui had not fully refined the Emperor's Tear yet, his strength had reached the peak of the Core Formation stage. He hadn't advanced further because he had reached a bottleneck; to step into the Realms of the True Person, he needed an opportunity!
Unbeknownst to him, his eyes had changed once more due to an unexpected twist of fate. They now resembled a terrifying yellow crescent blade; being stared at by them seemed to invite some unforeseen events.
Now at the Core Formation stage, Mo Ruxi felt her heart tremble upon seeing Li Rui's eyes; that sense of disorientation came from nowhere.
"What should we do now?" Mo Ruxi couldn't help but ask.
Li Rui frowned slightly. From his earlier analysis, he already knew that on the surface, the Falling Petal Kingdom seemed very peaceful. But who knew what lay beneath? The latter suspected that Flower Mother had already fallen into enemy hands!
Although there was no guarantee they could bring her back, the latter still wanted to give it a try simply because she was Mo Ruxi's master.
Mo Ruxi looked at Li Rui's return and felt an inexplicable surge of confidence! She nodded repeatedly; no matter what decision he made, she would...
In such a situation, both of them thought that they should not move around casually, as both were somewhat related to Flower Mother, and Li Rui had quite a few enemies, so it was necessary to disguise themselves.
The first thing to do was to go to the Royal Family and gather any information they could find.
They left without wasting any time! It was unclear what was happening, but ever since his eyes turned into "Curved Blade Yellow," it seemed that his speed in doing things had increased, and his disguise skills had improved... Li Rui was confident that this kind of disguise would not be noticed by the Law Realm.
Li Rui and his companion dressed very ordinarily, attracting no attention as they walked down the street. The first thing they saw was an Alchemy Hall! A large character for "King" hung prominently above it. They couldn't just walk in and ask; they had to be a bit shy, otherwise...
"Is the Shopkeeper here?" Li Rui asked as he entered the Dan Hall.
As soon as he spoke, someone approached Li Rui, repeatedly saying that the Shopkeeper was not there, seemingly attending some meeting with people from the royal family.
"A meeting?" Li Rui thought about using this information to his advantage again.
"This is a newcomer who doesn't understand! Sorry, young master, Zhang, hurry up and get out of here." Unexpectedly, another voice chimed in.
Zhang could only leave hurriedly upon hearing this. The person who spoke was dressed differently; Li Rui had already determined that this person was from the Royal Family. What he didn't understand was why this person seemed to harbor some hostility towards the latter.
If Li Rui continued walking at this time, he would definitely attract attention; it would be better to play nice!
"You are the Shopkeeper here, right? These are the herbs I want to buy; I hope you have them. I heard this is the largest Dan Hall in Falling Blossom Kingdom; you wouldn't be out of stock!" Li Rui said deliberately, casually releasing Wind Energy, which he vaguely remembered had been dormant in his storage ring for quite some time without being used.
When he saw the list of herbs Li Rui provided, fortunately, they all were available. However, the last one was unheard of and unknown!
"This..."
"Does the Shopkeeper not have it? Then I'm sorry." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Rui intended to pack up and leave!
At this moment, the other party panicked; Li Rui's earlier display of power was no ordinary matter! Perhaps he realized that he might catch a big fish this time and certainly wouldn't...
"Please come inside, Young Hero." With this invitation, Li Rui knew something interesting was about to happen. He followed the other person's footsteps and arrived at a courtyard. Surprisingly, this place looked ordinary on the outside but was truly magnificent inside compared to the Lord's Mansion in Guang'an City!
"Young Hero, I am the scribe here! You can call me Li Lao!"
Li Rui nodded slightly and then simply described their Shopkeeper. Li Lao seemed to be on guard intentionally or unintentionally and sighed deeply.
"Perhaps the young master is not a local here and doesn't know what has happened recently. There is a person named Li Rui... and his confidant is the most powerful figure in this area, and then... this incident happened quite some time ago, but Shopkeeper Wang has never allowed us to mention it." They continued to speak.
Li Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly inside; he never expected that as a mere "mudfish," he could stir up such a storm here! It seemed that the other party might not know about the matter concerning Flower Mother.
"Let's wait until our Shopkeeper returns!"
Li Rui knew he had already gathered some information, and since it involved the royal family, he couldn't help but pass Wind Energy into his hands, mentioning that there were some matters to discuss later.
"Do you really believe we have it here?"
"I'll bring what I need, and if that last thing isn't here, there's nothing we can do about it, right? Only..."
Li Lao was as happy as a monkey upon hearing this, yet he didn't realize how much he had been led on by Li Rui!
"Look at Old Buddy, acting all mature and steady. I didn't expect him to be like a monkey in front of you. I'm curious about what you've experienced this year." As Li Rui walked out of Dan Hall with Mo Ruxi, the latter remarked.
