Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 37

Ren Qingyue pushed past Jiang Ying and moved from one group of palaces to another.

Within the scope of the celestial residence, divination spells failed to work, making it impossible to pinpoint Yan Zhao's location. She had to search through each area one by one.

Passing through a corridor, she was once again intercepted by guardian jade beasts.

Ren Qingyue took out her soul token. The jade beasts recognized her aura, withdrew their hostility, and allowed her to pass.

As the jade beasts slowly stepped back, Ren Qingyue had a sudden idea and asked, "Have you seen Yan Zhao?"

The jade beasts in the celestial residence were not independent entities; they were closely connected to the protective array of the residence. If any jade beast triggered an alert, all the other jade beasts would know the location of the incident.

The jade beasts on both sides of the corridor tilted their heads in unison. Ren Qingyue continued, "She is the child of our Master and should be carrying an item belonging to our Master."

When she changed Yan Zhao's clothes earlier, she had seen the dark golden bead around Yan Zhao's neck.

Ren Qingyue recalled that the Master had given Yan Zhao a magic artifact. Otherwise, Yan Zhao could not have lived for three hundred years. Given Jiang Ying's attitude today, she could almost be certain that the bead was the Soul Condensing Bead.

The two jade beasts pondered for a moment and then pointed in the same direction.

This method actually worked! Ren Qingyue was overjoyed and clasped her hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you!"

She headed in the direction indicated by the jade beasts. Just as she exited the corridor, she ran into a fellow disciple.

"Junior Sister!" Ling Jiancheng, overjoyed, quickly walked toward Ren Qingyue. "I've been looking for you. I didn't expect you to come down the mountain! This is great!"

He had lost track of Lei Shuang shortly after leaving the courtyard, and in his frustration, he hadn't expected to meet Ren Qingyue.

Ren Qingyue was silent, feeling that her luck was running out.

Ling Jiancheng noticed that Ren Qingyue's aura seemed weakened and asked with concern, "Junior Sister, you seem injured?"

"Mm." Ren Qingyue said flatly, passing the blame to Jiang Ying. "I ran into someone from the Demon Sect earlier and fought with them for a while."

Ling Jiancheng was surprised. "You encountered them too?"

Ren Qingyue raised her eyes. "Too?"

"Frankly, I just had a fight with Lei Shuang. This person is really treacherous. The Demon Sect must have some goal this time. If Master Yuanqing left any treasures in the residence, they must not be taken by them!"

Since Lei Shuang and Jiang Ying had appeared, with the Demon Sect's left and right guardians present, it was indeed something to be concerned about.

Ren Qingyue pondered for a moment, but the most important thing now was to find Yan Zhao.

The appearance of the celestial residence was already suspicious, and since Ling Jiancheng had come, the elders in the sect would not miss this opportunity. If the shadows saw her and Yan Zhao separated, she would likely be in great danger.

Ling Jiancheng continued to vehemently denounce the Demon Sect's sinister intentions, while Ren Qingyue walked and observed her surroundings, not missing any opportunity to search for Yan Zhao's whereabouts.
