Lonemoon saw that she was almost done bragging. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh yes, Miss Chu, you are a local. You must be more well-informed than us. Coincidentally, we have a favor to ask. I wonder if Miss Chu would be willing to help us? "
"What is it?" Chu Tao paused and asked hurriedly. "Princess Lonemoon, don't worry. I am indebted to you. If you need my help, I will definitely do my best to help."
"It's not that important?" Lonemoon smiled politely. He was just thinking about how to bring up the matter of the spirit seed without anyone noticing.
Shen Ying, who was beside him, suddenly took out the image left by Le Mi. Instantly, a colorful egg-shaped image appeared. "We are looking for this. Have you seen it before?"
"Cough cough …" Lonemoon was almost scared to death. He coughed a few times. He turned and glared at her. Why did you freaking say it out loud? Isn't the spirit seed very important?
"This …" Chu Tao took two steps forward as something flashed across her eyes. After a while, she hid it and replied with a smile, "I've never seen an egg like this before. I'm sorry that I can't help you."
"Oh." Shen Ying kept it.
Chu Tao continued to exchange pleasantries with them. Perhaps because of the time difference, the sky slowly darkened. Chu Tao treated them to a sumptuous dinner. Then, she reluctantly instructed the servants to bring them to the guest room.
"Shen Ying, why did you take out the spirit seed so directly?" When they reached the guest room, Lonemoon asked seriously. Wasn't she afraid that such an important thing would attract the attention of others?
"This egg is just a camouflage that Huahua set up for the spirit seed. It is not its original appearance." Shen Ying explained, "Apart from the manager, others would at most think that it is an ordinary energy body. They would not be able to tell what is different about it."
So that was why. Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief. "In other words, I can look for it openly. I don't have to worry about others finding out."
"Mm." She nodded.
"You should have said so earlier!" Suddenly, he felt that this matter was much easier. "Alright, let's hurry and ask around tomorrow. You guys should rest early too."
As he spoke, he opened the door and was about to return to his room. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and said, "Oh right, you better stay in the room and don't run around." This was not their plane. If they lost it again, not only would they not be able to find it, they might not even be able to return.
"Oh." Seeing that he and Chef were about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and added, "Don't worry, Chef is watching me!" With that said, she quickly pulled Chef who was about to leave back.
Lonemoon glanced at Chef who was being dragged back, then looked at Shen Ying and nodded seriously. "Mm." Then he turned and went back to his own room, not noticing Chef's red face.

The next day.
Perhaps it was because Chef was watching … cough, watching her well, Shen Ying was unusually well-behaved for once. Although she woke up a little late, she did not get lost.
However …
"Where's Father Niu?"
The master and disciple looked at the empty, quiet, and tidy room that seemed as if no one had ever lived in it. For a moment, they couldn't react. Had Father Niu really made up his mind to cut off all ties with them?
"Master?" Chef's face was still a little red as he turned to look at his master.
"Look around."
"Mm." Chef nodded and released his divine perception to look around, only to find that not only Father Niu was gone, everyone in the house was gone. Including those servants who were everywhere yesterday, and that girl called Chu Tao.
The two were shocked. They looked around the yard and indeed did not see a single person.
"How could this be?" Chef was stunned. Although last night … cough! He was a little distracted, but it was not to the extent that he did not notice a trace of so many people leaving.
"What's that?" Shen Ying suddenly reached out and pointed to the left.
Chef walked closer and saw that there was a special shaped leaf on the ground. It looked like a little green person. He used his divine perception to investigate and found that there was a faint remnant of a special aura inside. It seemed to be Spirit Qi.
He frowned and directly injected a stream of Spirit Qi into it. The leaf grew bigger instantly and in less than a second, it condensed into a human shape. It became a little demon dressed in a green robe. It just looked around with some confusion. "Where is this?"
Chef was shocked. He went forward to grab this little demon and checked its meridians. He found that apart from its weak aura, it was indeed a little demon that had just become a demon. It could become a demon just by absorbing a bit of Spirit Qi. This was too strange. But it could not maintain this state for long. Tomorrow, when the Spirit Qi dissipated, it would turn back into a leaf.
"Master, the servants in the garden yesterday were probably transformed from this kind of demon." That was why they all disappeared overnight. It seemed like they just turned back. What's more, they already knew that this place was full of demons and did not look closely at their situation. The only different possibility was that girl called Chu Tao. "It should be that girl who took Father Niu away yesterday."
But Father Niu's cultivation was not low. How could he be taken away so easily and quietly?
"Oh." Shen Ying nodded.
"Master, I think we should go into the city and find those three robbers yesterday. Maybe we can find out more about them." If she really took Father Niu away, then the scene yesterday must have been deliberately arranged by her. But for what purpose?
Shen Ying did not object. She directly followed Chef out of the residence. Then they asked around in the city, but there were no clues at all. And she heard from the people nearby that the courtyard they stayed in yesterday was originally for rent. The owner of the courtyard was from Ling Yi City. The people staying there often changed. And there was no trace of the three people from yesterday.
The clues seemed to have suddenly stopped. Seeing that they were getting closer, Shen Ying and Yi Qing decided — eat first.
The others were fine, but Father Niu did not need to worry. And with his cultivation, even the most powerful little demon would not be able to hurt him at all. And when it came to finding people, Father Niu was the professional.
So after looking around without any news, the master and disciple made a wise decision. They would wait for Father Niu to come back and find them. They would just wait for his parents to come and pick him up. Feeling at ease, the two of them stayed in the empty courtyard for a few days.
And because Chef's stock was sufficient, they did not need to worry about food. Until a few days later, the owner of the courtyard came to collect the house. They had no choice but to end their days of waiting for people to pick them up.
"Master, I've asked around. The currency used here is void coins. Spirit stones, immortal stones and silver are not used." Yi Qing looked at Shen Ying guiltily. He was really not good at making money. "We don't have a place to stay today, but there's still no news of Father Niu in the city. Why don't we …" Or look around? He had been lost for a few days.
