"Oh, Lady Zhan left already?" Alex asked in surprise. "I would have thought she would wait for me to discuss the pills with me."
"I believe she had some success in her pill," the king said.
"Oh, did she? Good for her," Alex said. "But then… why rush home? Is one of her family members sick or something?"
"I don't believe so," the King said, thinking for a bit.
"Well, that's not something for us to think about," Alex said. "I will go rest for now."
"As you wish, your Majesty," the king said.
Alex went to his room and cultivated overnight, even bringing out Pearl and Whisker to let them cultivate as well. He let them know about the insides of the secret realm and the new Dao he learned.
The very next day, he went back once again.
He found Yao Ning easily in the Metal section of the realm. As for Liang Shufen, he didn't find her at all.
