Upon hearing Hong Zhu's question, Xiao Chen shook his head and gave a simple explanation of the Elder Heaven Ancestor's conjecture. He also showed her the stone with the pattern carved on it.
Hong Zhu did not expect that Xiao Chen would also come up empty-handed. She could not help but frown and ask worriedly, "Since there is no entrance here, where are we going now?"
Xiao Chen rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "When I was on the flying sword just now, I saw a small town nearby. It doesn't seem to be too far from here. Why don't we go there and ask about the situation of the Dark Green Demonic Valley? Perhaps someone will know about it?"
"Alright, I'll listen to you and do as you say." Hong Zhu nodded. Xiao Chen summoned his flying sword and leapt onto it with Hong Zhu in his arms. He then skillfully controlled the flying sword and sped toward the small town.
After arriving at the small town, the two of them went around looking for shops and stalls to ask around. Soon, they learned that the town was called Clear Moon Town and was located at the border.
Due to the fact that the place was relatively remote and surrounded by high mountains and lofty ridges, transportation was inconvenient. Coupled with the fact that there were many poor people in the town and the lack of commercial development, there was no economic benefit to be had. As a result, Clear Moon Town had always been a lonely town and had never been incorporated into a prefecture.
However, no matter how the two of them asked around, the people in the town seemed to have no idea about the Dark Green Demonic Valley and were unable to find any clues.
Xiao Chen was not discouraged and continued to walk down the street with Hong Zhu. The two of them looked around to see if there were any locals who seemed to be more cultured.
"Husband Xiao Chen, don't you think that girl's back looks rather familiar?" Hong Zhu suddenly pointed to the back of a figure in front of them and said, "Big sister, I think I've seen her somewhere before!"
Xiao Chen looked in the direction of Hong Zhu's finger and saw a girl who looked like a fairy walking silently in front of them. However, her Daoist robe was a little dirty and messy and her figure was a little down and out.
"Li Xian 'er?!" Xiao Chen was stunned and blurted out a name. The Taoist robe of the person in front of him was too easy to recognize. There was no one in the Cultivation World who dressed like this!
When Li Xian 'er heard someone calling her name, she subconsciously turned her head around, only to see a man and a woman standing in the middle of the road, looking at her in shock. Who else could it be but Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu?!
"Xiao … Xiao Chen? And Hong Zhu … Why are the two of you here? Is it really you? I'm not dreaming, am I? " Li Xian 'er was immediately dumbfounded. When she saw the familiar faces of Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu, it was as if she had seen her closest family members. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, and she was so emotional that she couldn't even speak clearly.
"Yes, it's the two of us …" Xiao Chen nodded with difficulty. The Li Xian 'er in front of him was much thinner and more haggard than when he had seen her in the Inner Martial World. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot after coming to the Cultivation World. Xiao Chen's heart ached and he felt sad. He had so many words to say, but he didn't know where to start.
It was Hong Zhu who rushed over and hugged Li Xian 'er's slender waist. He took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped away the dust and tears on her face. Then, he comforted her in a gentle voice, "Little sister Xian' er, don't cry. Looking at you, you must have been starving for many days, right? Why don't we find a place to have a meal with you first, then we can slowly talk? "
"Okay … Thank you, Big Sister Hong Zhu …" Li Xian 'er smiled through her tears and nodded. She was indeed about to faint from hunger. That was why she was so surprised when she heard someone call her name and turned around to see Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu. She even thought that she was hallucinating because she was too hungry!
Hong Zhu supported Li Xian 'er and casually found a restaurant with Xiao Chen. After the three of them sat down, Xiao Chen ordered a dozen or so dishes and asked the waiter to bring a few bowls of rice, which he placed in front of Li Xian' er.
Xiao Chen wasn't in a hurry to ask about Li Xian 'er's current situation. He planned to wait until she had eaten and drunk her fill before having a good chat with her.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Li Xian 'er no longer cared about her appearance. She picked up her chopsticks and wolfed down the food. Only after she had finished three bowls of rice and two-thirds of the dishes on the table did she put down her chopsticks in satisfaction and wipe her mouth.
"Little sister Xian 'er, eat slowly. Be careful not to choke." Hong Zhu hurriedly scooped a bowl of hot soup and placed it in front of Li Xian 'er. After watching her finish the soup, he asked, "Are you full? Do you want another bowl of rice? Don't stand on ceremony. If you're hungry, just say it. It's fine. "
"No … No need … Thank you, Big Sister Hong Zhu." Li Xianer blushed. The two of them had seen her eating like a tornado just now. She felt very embarrassed.
"Li Xian 'er, how did you come to this place? Are you alone? Why do you look so … down and out? "Xiao Chen finally couldn't help but ask three questions in one breath.
Li Xian 'er's face darkened. She sighed softly and said faintly, "Ai, it's fortunate that I met you this time. Otherwise, I would definitely starve to death here … I wonder how Xiao Yu is doing now. She was captured by a group of bad people and I didn't have the ability to protect her. I'm really too useless!"
"Nie Xiao Yu?! So you came in together with her. What happened? How is she? "Xiao Chen was shocked and hurriedly asked. An ominous premonition emerged in his heart.
"After Nie Xiao Yu and I came in, we stayed on the mountain for a period of time. Then, we prepared to go to the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce to work. I didn't expect that she …" Li Xian 'er briefly explained how she and Nie Xiao Yu went to the Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce to register and then Nie Xiao Yu was captured that night.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but secretly regret. If he hadn't agreed, Nie Xiao Yu wouldn't have come to the World of Cultivation through the teleportation array. He didn't expect that he would harm her in the end!
"After that, I was penniless and could only work to earn some spirit crystals. Then, I went around looking for Xiao Yu." Li Xian 'er continued, "After that, I came to Qingyue Town. In the end, I couldn't find her and had spent all my spirit crystals. When I wanted to work, I realized that there was no chamber of commerce here. Before I left, I met you …"
"Da Da Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce? Why do they have so many troubles? Could it be that Nie Xiao Yu's disappearance has something to do with them? " Xiao Chen frowned and muttered softly. He had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
"Husband Xiao Chen, I don't think it's a problem with the chamber of commerce, right?" Hong Zhu raised a different opinion. "Didn't we meet people from that chamber of commerce before? No one came to capture us! "
