"Sister, you're no longer one of the Flower people, so you don't have to worry about the Flower people. However, I can tell you that the Flower people are much stronger than before."
The beautiful middle-aged woman first responded to Hua Wushuang, then asked Xiao Lingyu and Ge Yunfei, "May I know why you're looking for my granddaughter?"
"We can't say that we're looking for advice. We're just friends, so we're here to visit." Ge Yunfei replied.
"Lan 'er went out to explore some time ago. She should have gained something. She's currently in seclusion, so it's not convenient for her to meet guests." The beautiful middle-aged woman shook her head.
"May I ask when Miss Lan 'er will come out of seclusion?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"Both of you should know that there's no guarantee when a cultivator will come out of seclusion. Sometimes, they'll come out in two or three months. Sometimes, it might take hundreds or even thousands of years." The beautiful middle-aged woman said with uncertainty.
"Hehe, since that's the case, we won't disturb you any further. However, if Lan 'er comes out of seclusion, I hope that Lord Clan Leader can send me a message," Xiao Lingyu replied with a smile as he took out his Communication Spiritual Pearl.
Ge Yunfei didn't know how to respond to the beautiful middle-aged woman's words. Only Xiao Lingyu could help.
"Alright."
The beautiful middle-aged woman didn't hesitate and accepted Xiao Lingyu's soul imprint with her Communication Spiritual Treasure. Then, she sent a strand of her own soul imprint into Xiao Lingyu's Communication Spiritual Treasure.
"Then we'll take our leave." Xiao Lingyu then cupped her fists and bowed, then left with Ge Yunfei.
What the two didn't expect was that not long after, Hua Wushuang caught up with them with a worried expression.
"Miss Hua, the Flower people are safe and sound now. It's said that they're developing well. Why are you still so worried?" Xiao Lingyu asked in confusion. Although she said it was a question, she was actually trying to get information out of her.
Hua Wushuang was very smart. She naturally knew what Xiao Lingyu meant. However, she had already been expelled from the Flower people. Now that she couldn't even enter the Flower people's encampment, there was nothing for her to be stubborn about.
"I've always been against the Flower people migrating to Otognathi's side and forming an alliance with Otognathi, but the Patriarch advocated this. Although the Flower people and Otognathi seem to be getting along well with each other, as time passes, the Flower people will definitely become Otognathi's subordinates, and most of the Flower people's women will be chosen by Otognathi as their Dao companions. Otognathi is naturally cunning and lustful. Flower people like us coming here is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house. To put it bluntly, we are throwing meat buns at a dog. "Hua Wushuang sighed.
"The Flower people's Patriarch should also know about Otognathi's situation. Why would she still make such a choice?" Ge Yunfei asked, puzzled.
"Because Otognathi is indeed very powerful, and we Flower people are ranked at the bottom of the East Peak Forest's races. If we were to compare all the races in the entire Lang Huang Continent or the Chaotic Astral Ocean, our overall strength would appear to be too weak. We Flower Spirits have very weak bodies. Our bodies can't contain too much high-grade energy, which greatly limits our power. Furthermore, we Flower Spirits were born naturally, so the scale of our race isn't large. Our individual strength isn't strong, and the scale of our race isn't large. The reason we were able to survive in the Lang Huang Continent for so many years without being exterminated is because we have to rely on the protection of other races. Previously, when the Thunder Devouring Race that we relied on was exterminated, Otognathi came to us and asked us Flower people to rely on Otognathi. The conditions they gave us were very generous, but they only had one request, and that was that the adult disciples of the two races could marry. Flower people rarely have male cultivators, while Otognathi mostly have male cultivators. Furthermore, Otognathi's race is very large, and they have countless adult disciples. As a result, it won't be long before more than half of our Flower people will marry into Otognathi. When that time comes, the Flower people will only exist in name, "Hua Wushuang explained very patiently.
After hearing this explanation, Xiao Lingyu finally understood why Hua Wushuang didn't want to talk about it before, and even said that it was difficult to talk about it.
"Perhaps your Patriarch can also think of Miss Wushuang's worries. Perhaps she already has a countermeasure," Ge Yunfei comforted her.
"She can think of it, but she's too optimistic and has too much faith in Otognathi. After all, we're the weaker party. Once Otognathi falls out with us, it'll be too late for the Flower people to regret it. Flower people are now right under Otognathi's nose. If Otognathi falls out with us, the entire Flower people will be left behind, "Hua Wushuang said worriedly.
"Miss Wushuang has already been expelled from the Flower people, and was almost imprisoned to death. Yet, you're still so passionate about the Flower people. It's truly admirable," Xiao Lingyu said sincerely.
"Haha, the Flower people gave birth to me and raised me. The fact that I can live to this day and have the cultivation I have today is all because of the Flower people. If I forget this kindness because of some bad luck, then I'll be letting my conscience down." Hua Wushuang shook her head and smiled.
"That's true. No matter if it's a mortal or a successful cultivator, you shouldn't forget your roots," Ge Yunfei agreed.
"Lan 'er is currently in seclusion. I'm afraid you two will have to wait for a while." Hua Wushuang changed the topic.
"A few days is something that cultivators like us can afford to wait. I'm just afraid that Miss Lan 'er will be in seclusion for more than a hundred years," Ge Yunfei replied with a bitter smile.
"What plans do you have for the future, Miss Wushuang?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"Naturally, I can't go too far. I have to stay nearby and keep an eye on things. If the situation changes, I can fight for the Flower people and try my best to save my people," Hua Wushuang said resolutely.
"Then please be careful, Miss Wushuang," Xiao Lingyu said with good intentions.
About thirty thousand miles away from Otognathi's base, Hua Wushuang stopped. Xiao Lingyu and Ge Yunfei said their goodbyes and continued flying together, as if they were going to leave temporarily.
After flying for another twenty thousand miles, Xiao Lingyu suddenly stopped.
"Brother, why did you stop?" Ge Yunfei asked in confusion.
"Haha, the clan leader said that Lan 'er is in seclusion. I don't believe it, so it's better if we turn back and take a look," Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
"Take a look? Brother, are you going to sneak into the Flower people's valley? "Ge Yunfei asked in surprise.
"They won't invite us in, so we can only sneak in quietly," Xiao Lingyu said casually.
"That's not good. What if we're discovered …" Ge Yunfei said hesitantly.
"Haha, don't you have an invisibility cloak?" Xiao Lingyu said with a mischievous smile.
"That's right, I almost forgot about the Invisibility Cloak. As long as there aren't any powerhouses above the seventh tribulation among the Flower Spirits, they won't be able to discover it," Ge Yunfei said as he slapped his head in realization.
"I saw it just now. Their clan leader's strength is equivalent to a Sixth Tribulation expert. As long as we don't trigger the restrictions or formations in the valley, we won't be discovered while wearing the invisibility cloak," Xiao Lingyu said with a nod.
"There's only one invisibility cloak. Who should we go in?" Ge Yunfei asked.
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go in. If I'm accidentally discovered, they can't do anything to me. Brother, let me see Miss Lan 'er's image first. Don't go in and get the wrong person. Flower people's women all look the same. "
After seeing Lan 'er's image, Xiao Lingyu first asked Ge Yunfei to put on the invisibility cloak. He was surprised to find that even he couldn't find Ge Yunfei with the invisibility cloak on.
Although Xiao Lingyu's Golden Soul Pearl had been formed and his overall strength was almost at the peak of the Cultivation World, his soul realm wasn't very high.
If he wore the invisibility cloak to sneak attack cultivators below the Seventh Tribulation, he could really kill them with one hit.
Then, Ge Yunfei passed on the invisibility cloak's technique and incantation to Xiao Lingyu. The two agreed to meet again four hours later. Xiao Lingyu put on the invisibility cloak and disappeared without a trace.
Perhaps they felt that they were under the protection of the powerful Otognathi, or perhaps they wanted to be close to nature and didn't want to destroy the flowers and plants in the valley. There weren't many restrictions or formations in the valley where the Flower people lived. Wearing the invisibility cloak, Xiao Lingyu only took an hour to go around the entire valley. However, he couldn't find Lan 'er.
"Could she really be in seclusion in some secret place?" Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but think.
Then, Xiao Lingyu took the risk to go to many places with tight security. However, he still couldn't find any trace of Lan 'er.
Four hours later, Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to return and meet up with Ge Yunfei.
However, what Xiao Lingyu did not expect was that before he even arrived at the agreed location between the two brothers, he had already received a message from Ge Yunfei, saying that he was being chased by a group of experts from the Charm Mouse Clan, and that Hua Wushuang was also with him.
"What's going on?" Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly and then increased his speed.
Along the way, Ge Yunfei took the time to send a few more messages to report his location. Naturally, Xiao Lingyu's direction changed again and again.
Finally, Xiao Lingyu caught up with Ge Yunfei in a large valley. He also saw a group of strange-looking cultivators surrounding Ge Yunfei and Hua Wushuang.
That group of cultivators were all covered in greyish-black fur. Their noses were very small and looked like they only had two nostrils. Although their eyes were very round, they were only the size of beans. The most prominent features on their faces were their long and sharp mouths, as well as a few strands of beard on their cheeks. Furthermore, there was a long and thin tail hanging behind their backs.
Their leader was a very large cultivator. However, his body was bent and he held a dragon-headed walking stick in his hand.
Under the leader's lead, these Otognathi experts constantly transformed into streaks of greyish-black shadows and attacked Ge Yunfei and Hua Wushuang with swift and swift movements.
At this moment, Ge Yunfei and Hua Wushuang seemed to be seriously injured. Their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling. It seemed like they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
"This motherf * cker is the real deal!"
Xiao Lingyu cursed inwardly. Then, he stealthily approached the leading Otognathi cultivator.
