Zhongxuan Sheng did not answer the question, and instead said: "The disappearance of Lin Youxie, I increasingly believe it was an accident. Because all the established social relationships and past clues are insufficient to lead to her disappearance. No one wants to deal with her, no one needs to deal with her. And among all the cases, accidental cases are the hardest to uncover the truth. Because it could just be some passing strong person who abducted her at the spur of the moment... How can such things be investigated?

Of course, in Qi Country, not many reckless things happen. The local strong have countless concerns, passing strong people need to report, not many have such courage, and not many can handle traces so cleanly. I am more inclined to believe, perhaps she stumbled upon something..."

"What could she have stumbled upon?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhongxuan Sheng said slowly: "This country is indeed strong, indeed thriving. Yet under the calm surface, many undercurrents are hidden. Any one of those undercurrents is enough to capsize several great ships, and can swallow many people.

For example, Duke Loulan who was defeated but whose corpse was never found, the Equality Country that once stirred a storm, the Withering and Flourishing Temple that was destroyed years ago, and the case of Concubine Lei that you already know..."

Jiang Wang understood very well, with Lin Youxie’s serious nature, it is indeed possible she encountered troubles she could not handle.

Thinking it over, he asked again: "She disappeared in Deer Frost County, what is most likely related to this matter?"

"Do not rush," Zhongxuan Sheng said soothingly: "The range of the correct answer is getting smaller and smaller, I have a hunch, this time we might touch a big fish..."

Zhongxuan Sheng said not to rush.

But how could Jiang Wang not be anxious?

He cared not at all for whether it was a big fish or not, what he cared about was his friend’s safety.

Although Zhongxuan Sheng kept emphasizing that Lin Youxie’s disappearance did not equate to death.

But using the matter of Bao Bozhao for comparison, in itself is an inclination.

What can disappear a person cleaner than death?

From May 9th to today, Lin Youxie has been missing for more than three months!

In the vast majority of disappearance cases, this disappearance time can basically be equated to an unfortunate outcome.

But no matter how anxious he was, he could only force himself to calm down. To make sure that in the search for Lin Youxie, he was providing help, not hindrance.

The carriage stopped in the night, outside the tranquil Wildman Forest.

Occasionally a few bird calls, made the empty mountain emptier, the distant mist more distant.

Jiang Wang, along with Qingzhuan and the other two, plunged into the depths of Wildman Forest in this profound night. Treading on dry branches and fallen leaves, their footsteps rustled all the way, until reaching the place where he and Shisi parted ways that day.

Looking around, it was no different from the time during the day.

"What needs to be done now?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhongxuan Sheng retorted: "On the day you parted from Lin Youxie, what were you doing?"

Jiang Wang was silent for a moment, and complexly replied: "Cultivating."

Lin Youxie disappeared for more than three months before it was discovered. Because in Qi Country, she had only this one friend left.

But on the day Lin Youxie disappeared, they also hadn’t talked about anything meaningful.

He was just cultivating. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Zhongxuan Sheng glanced at him and just said: "Then continue."

Perhaps to cover a certain unease, Jiang Wang asked again: "When will we go to the Governor Mansion in Deer Frost County?"

"When did I say I was going there?"

"You mentioned at the Lei Family."

At this moment, Shisi drew out a heavy sword and casually cut down a tree. Doing nothing else, she quietly sheathed the sword, and in a ladylike manner sat on the trunk.

"That was just a casual remark." Zhongxuan Sheng sat beside Shisi calmly and said: "Of course I will investigate the Governor Mansion in Deer Frost County, and of course I cannot go in person. Before we went to the Lei Family, Shadow Guards were already sent to investigate, soon there will be results. We just need to wait here. Lei Family, Zhou Family, Yan Family, Governor Mansion, Patrol Inspection Bureau, all their information I am gathering. Just because Lei Zhanqian was in Wildman Forest that day, we visited the Lei Family. When all this information converges, the answer you want will emerge."

Facing Jiang Wang’s eager eyes, Zhongxuan Sheng said soothingly: "Wait for information, wait for accidents, wait for changes, wait until anything. Rest assured, give me three days, I will surely bring you the truth."

Jiang Wang thus said no more.

He looked up at the starlight through the leaf gaps, and immediately flew up to the familiar horizontal branch.

Closed his eyes, and resumed practicing Mind Dust Technique.

In this extraordinarily lonely night.

Qingzhuan occasionally left and upon return, had a large pile of newly collected information in hand. Accompanied by Shisi, Zhongxuan Sheng sifted through the myriad threads in a leisurely manner, seeking clues.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wang sat alone on the horizontal branch, his solitary shadow hanging below. Always cultivating, always silent.

In a single thought, a hundred twists and turns.

In every moment, countless thoughts are born and extinguished.

The development of thoughts is indeed novel, but ultimately, their application must be integrated into the Soul System.

Jiang Wang once cleansed the Thought Dust Mark from his body by directly using his powerful Spirit and Soul Power to scrub clean Lin Youxie’s fragile divided thought.

His current cultivation is definitely not inferior to the past Lin Kuang, and the intensity of Spiritual Sense surpasses that. Thus in the cultivation of Mind Dust Technique, the progress is indeed fast.
