Xie Si Niang's disappearance was no small matter.
All the disciples of the Xie Family in the Sect received the message; Xie Xu had not yet returned to the Sect, hence his absence.
Everyone had already gone out to search once and, having failed to find her, gathered to discuss the matter. Xie Jiu Niang was cultivating at the time and did not see the Sound Transmission Talisman immediately.
Xie Jiu Niang asked, "Who discovered that Fourth Sister was missing?"
"It was two female cultivators from Fu Feng."
Xie Haoran said it was people from Fu Feng who came looking for him.
As for why they did not approach Xie Jiu Niang but instead went to Xie Haoran, it couldn't be blamed on the female cultivators from Fu Feng. The sisters were close, but she visited Fu Feng far less often than Xie Haoran did.
Having searched the Fangshi and found no one, and having not visited the shops,
they were unable to send out a Sound Transmission Talisman.
