Chapter 170 Search
The first continent, Tianhai City.

On a small road in a dark street, two figures, one tall and one short, walked side by side among the crowd.

The short young girl has bright eyes and holds a piece of hawthorn ice cream in her hand; the tall adult woman has long flowing hair and white silk like waterfalls, which is quite eye-catching.

The two were Bai Yuejian and Lu Xiaoye who had returned from a trip. They had just returned to Tianhai today and were still looking for a place to live.

"Master, how are we going to find Master Chu?" Lu Xiaoye licked her lips stained red by the ice cream.

Uncle Shi is an honorific title, and what she said was Chu Yao.

It seems that Bai Yuejian still accepted Xiaoye as her apprentice, and I don't know why she changed her mind after not accepting a single apprentice in a hundred years.

"Don't worry. With your Uncle Chu's temperament, it is estimated that Tianhai has been turned upside down long ago. When we find someone to ask, we may be able to find clues."

"Yeah." Lu Xiaoye nodded.

Although she only got along with Chu Yao for a short time, she was deeply impressed by this uncle who has a detached personality.

Looking at the familiar street scene in front of her, Xiaoye couldn't help but feel emotional.

Two years have passed in a flash, and everything is still the same.However, there have been changes. I don't know if it is her illusion. The law and order in the dark street seems to be much better than before.

She remembered that the dark street in the past was very chaotic even in broad daylight. There were often gangsters fighting and fighting, and stealing and robbing in the street was commonplace.

But now, there are almost no such people. There are more hawkers pushing carts, and there are more passers-by wandering around.

Three girls in school uniforms chattered past the two and ran towards a milk tea shop not far away.Looking at their appearance, the color of memory in Xiaoye's eyes became more and more intense.

Speaking of which, she turned seventeen this year, if she hadn't met Chu Yao and Bai Yuejian, she would either be working part-time or in high school now.

A chance encounter changed her life.

"Master, I... want to visit Grandpa's tomb."

"That's natural. But let's find a place to stay first. Let me look at the map..." Bai Yuejian's eyes turned to the phone.

In the past two years, they have not been living the life of hermits in the mountains. They have visited almost all the cities on the first continent.

Bai Yuejian's understanding of the society between heaven and man and technology is no less than that of Chu Yao.Before arriving in Tianhai City, she booked a hotel with her mobile phone.

Lu Xiaoye was silently nibbling on an ice cream beside her, and when she was thinking about getting some milk tea, her whole body froze suddenly, and her eyes flashed fiercely.

As she glanced around secretly, she transmitted a voice to Bai Yuejian's ear:

"Master, someone is following us."

"He's been following him for 5 minutes." Bai Yuejian's gaze was still fixed on the phone screen, as if she didn't care about someone following her. "I know what you're thinking. Go ahead, ask this person for details, and try to avoid people's eyes."

"Okay." Lu Xiaoye threw the ice cream stick into the trash can beside her, shook her hand in front of her chest, and then suddenly disappeared in place.

Except for the stalkers in the far corner, no one noticed that a little girl disappeared into the crowd.

The stalker was a young man in his twenties, and he was taken aback.

Why did one of these two people lose one of them just by looking up?Where did that girl go?

The panicked young man stood on tiptoe and looked around. Before he could see far, a strong force came from behind him, and he was dragged by his clothes into a narrow alley that was one person wide behind him.

The young man trembled violently, and he saw the disappearing girl appearing in front of his eyes, with one hand clutching his collar, and a cold look in his eyes.

"Say, why are you following us?"

Lu Xiaoye even held a short knife in his other hand, the cold blade pressed against the young man's neck, making him break out in cold sweat.

"Wait, wait a minute! Don't worry...your name is Lu Xiaoye, right?"

The dagger got closer, and Xiaoye's face tightened: "Why do you know my name? Say it quickly, the sword has no eyes!"

"I have no malice! I'm Maoyan..." The young man seemed to want to explain his identity, but he thought of his superior's order, so he changed the phrase:
"It was 'Sister Chu' who asked us to come to you!"

"Sister Chu?" Lu Xiaoye was taken aback.

Except for Shishu, she didn't seem to know the second person surnamed Chu.

Lu Xiaoye thought for a moment, then retracted the dagger, and escorted the young man to Bai Yuejian's side.

Bai Yuejian was not surprised by the young man's intention.They found a nearby cafe and sat down to talk.

The young man still touched his neck with lingering fear, and revealed his identity and origin to the two.

"Cattail Company." Bai Yuejian took a sip of coffee and repeated the name "Chu Xiaoye, is this the name of your chairman?"

"Yes. My boss said that if we find you, we must bring you to the third continent as soon as possible. So please accommodate me, I am also following orders."

"When was this order?"

"About two days ago." The young man thought for a while, and felt that this was not a secret that could not be revealed.

If you want to complete your mission, you must first gain the trust of the two.

"Two days? Why are you so anxious?"

"Sorry, that's beyond what I can know. Our job is to find people. We only know that the urgent request is urgent." The young man's movements were a little awkward.

Bai Yuejian turned her head and glanced at Lu Xiaoye: "Xiaoye, you don't have to stare at him like that."

"Hmph, sneaky, you don't look like a good person! Do we have to believe what you say? Since you are from Maowei Company, why can't you show evidence!"

"This..." The young man looked at Bai Yuejian embarrassingly, and gestured to his pocket.

It's not that he doesn't want to take it, it's that Xiaoye looks at him like he's guarding a thief along the way, even if he walks a few steps faster, his eyes seem to be about to pull out a knife and slash at himself in the next second.

"It's okay." Bai Yuejian signaled to Xiaoye, who walked to the young man and took out a smartphone from his pocket.

"No tricks!" Lu Xiaoye handed the phone to the young man.

After some twists and turns, the young man finally got in touch with his superior.After layers of contact, a video call across the ocean was connected in front of the two of them.

After seeing the appearance of the person on the other end of the video, Bai Yuejian's worries disappeared completely.

"Master Chen!" Bai Yuejian's face showed the joy of reunion.

"Elder Bai, we've been waiting for you for a long time." Chen Qingyu's complexion looked a little heavy, but he still squeezed out a smile. "It's not too late. We have prepared a special plane for Tianhai. You just need to go there according to their arrangement."

"Chen Qingyu, tell me the truth." Looking at Qingyu's unnatural expression, Bai Yuejian's expression became serious, "You are looking for me so anxiously, is it because something happened to Chu...Chu Xiaoye?"

She had already guessed that Chu Xiaoye should be the pseudonym of her junior sister.

Junior sister is very self-improving, even a little too self-improving, and always asks for everything.

But it was such a junior sister who suddenly started looking for herself, then she could only think of this possibility.

"...Yes." Chen Qingyu nodded after being silent for a long while. "Specifically, let's discuss it after you arrive."
