The next day, Liuli and Xuanji left Germu, flying directly to Qingyang on their swords to find Liu Yihuan. Yu Sifeng had initially figured that Liu Yihuan would definitely be indulging himself there, but this time he was wrong; Liu Yihuan wasn't in Qingyang at all. After asking the madam of the brothel, it turned out he hadn't been seen for several months. Their attempt was in vain, and they didn't know what to do next.
"Should we return to the Shaoyang Sect first? I want to see Linglong." As soon as they left the Jiaohong House gate, Xuanji immediately suggested.
Yu Sifeng mulled it over in his heart. There were still four months until the Flower Pinning Conference, and returning to the Shaoyang Sect now seemed too early. Besides, the people of Shaoyang must have many critical comments about Zhong Minyan; given Xuanji's temperament, hearing such rumors would surely depress her, leading to unhappiness on both sides.
