After learning the location of the cave, Joey returned to the castle. He walked toward his sister's chamber. When he reached there, he met Zhang Cong before the door.
" Hi, sister Cong, " he greeted her.
When Joey came inside, Zhang Cong was watering the flower pots that were before the room. She looked toward him when Joey greeted him.
" Fifth prince, you are here ." She stopped doing what she was doing before and moved toward him.
" Is my sister inside the room? I am here to meet her here." Joey enquired to her with a wide smile on his lip.
" Follow me, she is inside her office now," she said and quickly led Joey toward Mie lien's office.
Inside the general office, Tang Mie lien was currently reading a bundle of papers. She was currently reading the updated information about the cave. The door opens, then Joey and Zhang Cong enter the room.
" Jie Jie, you seem busy," Joey said on seeing her reading the bundle of papers that was on the table.
" Xiao di, what do you need?" she asked him.
" I feel really bored staying here. I came here to take permission for joining Captain Chao's team trip to the cave," he said seriously.
" Absolutely no !" she screamed at him. Then she looked fiercely at him.
" I just want to have a look there. I think I can manage," he complained.
" The cave is really dangerous for now. You can go thereafter and it was completely explored. Also, you will become a liability to them on their mission. So stop thinking of going there for now. " she commanded.
" As I thought, she will never agree," he murmured and sat on a chair nearby.
" Any news from our mother? " Joey asked her.
Mie lien took out a letter from inside her space and threw it at him.
" It is for you," She said to him.
" Thanks, sis. I'll see you later," he said and left the room quickly.
After he left the room only Mie lien and Zhang Cong remained in the room. She looked at Cong and said," Sister Cong, what should I do? He seems to become more independent and doesn't want to stay here. "
" Yep, he changed so much from before. Also, he may have another goal for his request now." Cong gave her an honest reply.
" Sister Cong, I think he might do something else, so keep a close watch on him from now onward." Mie lien requested her and touched her both hands. Cong nodded at her sincerely.
Joey came out from the castle and started randomly roaming all the places in the northern fort. He sees that this fort was not just an army camp, but more of a small town.
" Oh, a market is also here. l shall check out," he murmured when he saw the various businesses happening here.
There are many shops selling clothes, weapons, medicine, food, etc. could be seen.
" Let me buy everything that I like." he then began his shopping spree going from one shop to another, after that he went inside the most popular restaurant here and began buying all kinds of delicacies here and put all of them inside his space ring.
Feeling bored, he returned back to his room. Inside his room, Joey tried to communicate with Long Ai.
" Boy, what now ?" Ai asked him.
" Sister Ai, I like to sneak out of this place tonight. Can you help me?" Joey asked her sincerely.
She kept quiet for some time and replied," Oh, you seem to be monitored by that Zhang girl. Alright, I can help you get out of here. Why do you want to leave this place? "
" I felt it was too easy staying here. Why don't we go out for some challenges outside? "
They chatted for a while and Ai remained silent again.
Then Joey started cultivating the corruption mantra the whole day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Sister Ai, let us leave this place now," Joey said to her late at night.
Then an extreme aura came out and enveloped the whole body of Joey. After some minutes later, Joey vanished out of his room. Zhang Cong who was currently observing his aura the whole time suddenly felt his aura vanish.
She exclaimed, "Ahh! I can't feel the 5th prince's aura. He just vanished into thin air. I have to report to her quickly."
Then she quickly runs toward Mie lien's room.
" Sister Cong, what happened? Why were you running here?" Mie lien asked her a series of questions.
" Princess, I am sorry. The 5th prince just vanished a few minutes ago. I can't find his aura inside the castle anymore. It is very strange." she reported to her with some doubts in her mind.
" What! Let's go inside his room and see what exactly happened to him there." Mie lien said to her and they ran back to Joey's room.
They observed the room and afterward, she said," You are right, he never leaves his room. He seems to be getting out of here by using some kind of a teleportation talisman. Sister Cong, don't worry anymore. I think he will be completely fine even if he leaves."
Then Mie lien ordered her guard to have a complete lockdown all over the place. She too ordered them to search for Joey all over the places inside the fort.
Unfortunately, no one found any trace of Joey's presence inside the whole place of the fort.
" Boss, didn't you hear that kid was said to be missing? Why don't we go search for him too." The fatty Xiaobo walked inside Yang Chao's room and informed him anxiously.
"Fatty, no need. I knew he would leave this place soon but not this soon tonight. So I gave him the map today. Someone like him will never stay in a non-challenging place like here. He doesn't like to stay too long under the protection of his sister. " Captain Yang Chao explained to him calmly.
"Captain, I kind of like the presence of that kid. Will we ever meet him again or maybe at the cave. " the fatty said.
" Maybe. Alright, get out of here, I need to sleep too." The captain waved his hand and pushed him out of his room.
Inside Mie lien's room, Cong came in and gave her all the reports and apologized to her feeling guilty," Princess, no one seems to find any traces of him. I am so sorry. It is all my fault."
" Sister Cong, it is not your fault. If he really wants to leave this place so bad then let him go as he wants. What I am more worried about is that he might go inside that cave." Mie lien reminded her.
