Chapter 250 Senior Brother Searches for Someone

"Go ahead," Nangong Ling said, waving at him. However, before he could even leave the hut, Nangong Ling called out to him, "Um, wait a minute."

Shen Mingyu turned to look at Nangong Ling.

“The formation at the peak is active, so you can’t get out on your own. I’ll send you down the mountain.”

Nangong Ling got up and walked towards Shen Mingyu. Then, remembering something, she looked at Shen Mingyu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Oh, right, I remember the protective formation of the peak was activated. How did you two get up here?"

Upon hearing Nangong Ling's question, Shen Mingyu belatedly realized, "Oh, right, the formation is active."

"However, my elder brother and I met a kind female cultivator."

"What a coincidence! It's the female cultivator we met at the foot of the mountain this morning. She's the one who brought my brother and me in."

Nangong Ling: ?!
"Is that the female cultivator with the giant sword on her back and the baby face?"

Shen Mingyu nodded.

"You really saw her again? Did she enter the formation peak? Where did she go after she brought you in?" Nangong Ling asked three questions anxiously.

Shen Mingyu couldn't remember all three questions at once; he only remembered the last one. So, he thought for a moment and replied, "I saw her fly away on her sword. Yes, she was heading towards the mountain."

As soon as Shen Mingyu finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes.

It disappeared in a flash.

Shen Mingyu didn't even see what it was before the black shadow swept past like a whirlwind, leaving nothing behind, not even Nangong Ling's figure.

Only after discovering that Nangong Ling had disappeared did Shen Mingyu belatedly realize that what had just been blown away was Nangong Ling.

"Hey! Senior Sister Nangong, where are you going? Weren't you going to... escort me down the mountain?"

Realizing that Nangong Ling was truly gone, Shen Mingyu slowed his speech and lowered his voice.

"Ah~"

After realizing that Nangong Ling had really left, Shen Mingyu sighed and returned to his seat.

If Nangong Ling hadn't mentioned it, Shen Mingyu would have been fine, but after she brought it up, he remembered that there was a formation at the foot of Zhenfeng Mountain.

He can't go out on his own right now, so he'll just sit here and wait for Nangong Ling to come back.

Shen Mingyu sat in the thatched hut and waited for a long time. However, Nangong Ling did not return until Shen Wenxu came out of the test ball.

"Hey? You're out?"

Seeing Shen Wenxu standing absentmindedly by the test ball, Shen Mingyu greeted him.

Shen Wenxu was brought back to his senses by Shen Mingyu. He turned his head to look at Shen Mingyu and, finding that Shen Mingyu was alone, asked in confusion, "Where is Fourth Uncle? Why are you alone?"

Shen Mingyu shrugged. "I don't know."

"After learning that it was the female cultivator who escorted us up the mountain this morning who led us into the array peak, Senior Sister Nangong rushed out immediately and hasn't returned yet."

Shen Wenxu was immediately puzzled after hearing this.

Is it because of that female cultivator again?

Shen Wenxu suddenly remembered that in the morning, as soon as Si Yu heard about the female cultivator, he hurriedly left the sect, followed by Feng Yin and Nangong Ling.

Right now, Nangong Ling is out searching for that female cultivator again, which suggests that the female cultivator's identity is quite special.

As Shen Wenxu tried to guess the female cultivator's identity, he sat down next to Shen Mingyu.

The two sat together and waited for ten minutes, but Nangong Ling did not return.

Twenty minutes later, Nangong Ling still hadn't returned.

thirty minutes……

When the fortieth minute was up, the two stopped waiting and Shen Wenxu began to meditate and cultivate.

The spiritual energy within the Wuji Sect is abundant; it would be a waste not to cultivate there. Seeing that he had begun cultivating, Shen Mingyu naturally wouldn't remain idle and also began cultivating.

The two were so focused on their cultivation that they didn't even notice when Nangong Ling returned.

After returning to the thatched hut, Nangong Ling saw that the two were cultivating seriously and in good condition, so she did not disturb them and chose to continue inscribing the array pillars.

After confirming that Shen Wenxu had passed the test, Nangong Ling also found the jade tablet template from Jianfeng, refined a new one, and then immediately engraved an identity jade tablet for Shen Wenxu.

Si Yu has never accepted any personal disciples. After the identity jade tokens of his lineage were designed, the templates were kept with Nangong Ling. Not a single disciple's jade token has been carved yet.

Shen Wenxu was Si Yu's first disciple, so among the younger generation of disciples at Jianfeng, Shen Wenxu was the first to receive the jade token identifying him as a personal disciple.

After refining the identity jade tablet for Shen Wenxu, Nangong Ling began to carve the array pillars.

As they continued carving, dawn broke.

After noticing that it was getting light outside, Nangong Ling stretched and was about to wake Shen Mingyu and Shen Wenxu when she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in from outside.

"Elder brother, why are you here?"

Si Yu's clothes were somewhat disheveled, and he looked anxious. He strode up to Nangong Ling and asked, "Third Junior Sister said that she appeared at Zhenfeng last night?"

Nangong Ling knew that the "she" Si Yu was referring to was not Su Qing, but the female cultivator carrying the giant sword; more specifically, the person he wanted to see.

Nangong Ling sighed inwardly, then said to Si Yu, "I only heard about it. I went to look for it, I searched the entire Zhenfeng Peak, but I couldn't find it."

Si Yu: "Who told you that?"

Nangong Ling pointed to the two Shen brothers who were cultivating.

Si Yu looked in the direction she pointed, then walked straight over and woke Shen Wenxu up.

"Hmm? Master?"

Shen Wenxu was genuinely surprised to see Si Yu.

Si Yu nodded to him indifferently, "Did you see that female cultivator carrying the giant sword again last night?"

Shen Wenxu nodded.

Si Yu: "Did she say anything to you? Didn't you ask about her identity?"

Shen Wenxu thought for a moment, then said to Si Yu, "She seems to be an elder to everyone. She calls Su Su 'Little Su Su,' Fourth Uncle 'Little Fourth,' and Master 'Chang Yu.'"

"Oh, right, she also said her surname is Xuanyuan."

"boom!"

As Shen Wenxu uttered the name Xuanyuan, Si Yu accidentally kicked over a stool.

Every time Shen Wenxu mentioned a piece of news about Xuanyuan, Si Yu would subconsciously take a step forward. When he heard the word "Xuanyuan," he happened to walk in front of a stool and, without noticing, kicked it over.

The sound of the stool startled Shen Mingyu, who was still cultivating, and made him open his eyes.

However, Si Yu didn't have time to pay attention to the overturned stool, nor did he have time to pay attention to Shen Mingyu. He stared at Shen Wenxu and continued to ask, "What else did she say?"

Shen Wenxu shook his head. "It seems there isn't any more. She knows how to break formations. After leading us through the formation, she left."

Si Yu: "Didn't they say where we're going?"

Shen Wenxu shook his head. "She didn't say, but she was flying towards Zhenfeng Mountain at the time."

After hearing Shen Wenxu's words, Si Yu silently tightened his grip on the sword. He used great force, and his knuckles turned white, but he continued to tighten his grip.

A moment later, he turned and walked out.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Ling immediately chased after him, calling out, "Senior Brother, where are you going?"

“Master is no longer at the formation peak. I already looked for her last night.”
