"Junior Brother, do you want to look for that kid?" Looking at his somewhat helpless junior brother, Nan Gongyang felt a sense of dissatisfaction. Ever since his junior brother mentioned the existence of such a person, he had been increasingly displeased with the disciples under his care. He had only heard about this unreliable junior brother's claims but had yet to see the person himself. Now, he was beginning to doubt whether his junior brother was lying. However, his junior sister had confirmed that there was indeed a child in the Cloud Mist Forest.
"I don't know where that kid has gone recently; how can I find him?" Lu Xun took a sip of his drink.
"Isn't Bao Ya always stationed at Nameless Town? Didn't he see that kid come out?"
"Bao Ya went to handle some matters, and when he returned, he said the kid had already left."
"Could it be that the people from Ziyang Mountain have set their sights on that kid as well?" Nan Gongyang's suspicion was not unfounded. The guards at the entrance of Lava Sea were not affiliated with any worldly power, yet they had an inexplicable connection with the Zi Family.
"That's quite possible. Zi Tianyang is somewhat capable. Even if the Zi Family has taken an interest in him, what's the harm? We can just go directly to the Zi Family to find him later. Perhaps one of their descendants has taken a liking to him as well; after all, the Zi Family is famous for its daughters." People took pride in marrying into the Zi Family, not only because of their reputation but also due to their abundance of beautiful women. Thinking of this made Lu Xun feel a bit envious, but a cold gaze snapped him back to reality.
"Well then, by the way, Master instructed that you must go when the time comes. You should think about what you'll do." Nan Gongyang stopped dwelling on Mo Wen and instead conveyed their master's orders to Lu Xun.
"It's been quite some time; just arrange it, Brother. You know my habits." Since it was an order from Master, he would definitely go. As for what he would do, Lu Xun couldn't be bothered to think about it; after all, his brother would handle the arrangements.
"You! You're even more like a Taoist than I am," Nan Gongyang shook his head. He truly found it difficult to deal with this junior brother, who always appeared lazy and indifferent to worldly matters. This time, their master was taking things seriously; changes were quietly occurring throughout the world, and various powers were preparing.
...
Originally thinking that leaving crowded places would allow him to sense the Heavenly Tribulation, Mo Wen found that he had underestimated the situation. However, after indulging in a feast, his mood improved significantly. Even better off than him was Xiao Hei, who began drooling as soon as they left the city. After a day of feasting, he was now so stuffed that he could barely move.
The cave where they were located wasn't deep; sitting inside allowed them to see the starry sky and moon outside. Leaning against a stone at the cave entrance, Mo Wen took out a purple jade pendant.
"Boss, you're finally awake!" Xiao Hei greeted Mo Wen, who was gazing into the distance at the cave entrance. However, Mo Wen did not respond; he merely stared blankly ahead. Xiao Hei moved closer and followed Mo Wen's gaze into the distance. Their cave had excellent visibility with no obstructions around them; however, after looking for a long time without spotting anything unusual, Xiao Hei turned back to observe his boss closely and noticed that Mo Wen's eyes were vacant as if he were a wooden figure. "Could it be that he was attacked by a Chimera?" Xiao Hei felt goosebumps all over his body. Last night he had overeaten and dozed off by the fire pit; if there had indeed been an attack by a Chimera, there should have been sounds of fighting.
