However, they were unwilling to give up and still refused to return. Even if they drifted to death on the sea, they would still look for them.

To Jin Liu and the others’ surprise, Old Wu and the others returned half a month later.

It was already mid-May. It had been more than twenty days since Su Xiaolu and Zhou Zhi disappeared.

It was impossible to have any hope after such a long time.

Seeing Old Wu and the others return, Jin Liu couldn’t help but pay attention to them.

He realized that there were two unfamiliar faces among the people who returned this time.

They were an old man and a young man. The old one was about the same age as Old Wu, and the young one looked about the same as Su Xiaolu.

Jin Liu flew over.

Old Wu’s expression was cold as he immediately ordered him to leave. “What are you doing here? You’re not welcome here. Get lost.”

Gui You’s expression was cold as he unsheathed his sword.

An Lie and An Cheng also became vigilant.

Jin Liu cupped his hands and said softly, “Dr. Wu, I don’t have any ill intentions. I know you want to find Miss Su. We also want to find our master. Miss Su might be with our master. Please forgive me for disturbing you.”

Even if Su Xiaolu was not with Zhou Zhi, Old Wu had returned with someone, and it was obvious that he had a way. They could not give up this opportunity. Finding Su Xiaolu did not mean finding Zhou Zhi, but if they could not find Su Xiaolu, they would definitely not be able to find Zhou Zhi.

Su Xiaolu could go into the sea to save Zhou Zhi. If the waves did not separate them, they were so confident that finding Su Xiaolu was equivalent to finding Zhou Zhi.

No matter how cold Old Wu’s face was, no matter how Gui You drew his sword, he would not leave.

Old Wu’s face was cold. The old man beside him chuckled and said, “Forget it, forget it. It’s better to avoid trouble at this moment. Let me calculate where the girl is. Old Wu, I’m going to take a look. You should calm down. Your emotions might affect my readings.”

Old Wu rolled his eyes. “Old Niu, you can’t read well because your skills aren’t good enough. Didn’t you boast that your disciple is amazing? Let him do it. If Old Niu can’t do it, Little Niu can.”

“Dream on. How can my disciple’s golden eyes be used so casually?”

Elder Niu immediately stroked his beard. The child beside him did not say anything, but he pursed his lips and held back his smile.

Jin Liu seemed to have remembered something and his eyes widened.

There were many capable people in the world, and most of them were arrogant and unruly. However, they were all outstanding and were people that the influential people in the world yearned to pursue.

Many of them were hidden in the city. Even if they stood in front of him, he would not know them. However, there would always be legends about them in the martial world.

Jin Liu did not expect Old Wu to find such a powerful person, but on second thought, it was normal. Old Wu was a very powerful person himself.

“Alright, cut the crap. Hurry up and find out where my disciple is now.”

Old Wu ignored the thick-skinned Jin Liu and said seriously to Elder Niu.

Elder Niu took out an Eight Trigrams disc and pointed it at Old Wu’s face. His expression was solemn as he said solemnly, “Hiss… Tsk… That shouldn’t be the case.”

Old Wu rolled his eyes. “Tell me quickly.”

Elder Niu coughed lightly and put away the Eight Trigrams disc. He said to the child beside him, “Child, come and take a look.”

The child stepped forward. He went in front of Old Wu and reached out his hand to touch the bones carefully. He said, “There’s fog in the palace of the heirs, but there’s no killing intent. Their affinity is not separated. They’re in the same place now. They can’t be more than 30 miles away.”

“What do you mean? Is my girl within thirty miles?”

Old Wu asked worriedly.

It was a sea area that stretched as far as the eye could see. They were just thirty miles away? How was that possible?

Little Niu nodded. “Grandpa Wu, this is how the bone image is revealed. Your disciple is safe and sound now. She’s within 30 miles. If we can’t see her, that means she’s being blocked.”

Elder Niu continued, “I knew it. How can I not see through it? So she’s in another world.”

Old Wu frowned. “Little Niu, tell me how to make the girl come back.”

The two worlds overlapped, and he did not know if the other place was dangerous. Old Wu was very worried.

Little Niu smiled slightly and said, “Grandpa Wu, don’t be anxious. Sister Xiaolu is not in danger now. The two realms have fused. There are dangers and opportunities. Perhaps this is her opportunity. When the time comes, she will come out. We just have to wait quietly. I can tell that Sister Xiaolu is lucky. She will be fine.”

Old Wu was a little worried. “Does that mean there’s nothing we can do now?”

Little Niu nodded. From the looks of it, there was indeed no solution at all.

The fusion between the two realms was a slim chance to begin with. It was just like how a person could reverse time and space and cause a person to lose control and go back in time. However, such a possibility appeared. There would be opportunities if there was danger. This was an established fact.

Old Wu turned around angrily and returned to the cabin.

Gui You followed silently.

On the deck, Elder Niu looked at Jin Liu. Jin Liu knelt down. He lowered his head and pleaded, “Seniors, can you help me next? Feel free to make any request. Jin Liu will definitely not refuse even if it costs him his life.”

Jin Liu kowtowed. This was an extremely humble posture. He prostrated on the ground and begged humbly.

Little Niu retreated to the side and didn’t speak.

Elder Niu looked at Jin Liu and said calmly, “Raise your head.”

Jin Liu was a little happy. He slowly raised his head. He was still kneeling.

Elder Niu stared at Jin Liu and clicked his tongue twice. “Your fate is full of misfortune. You were destined to die early, but someone saved you. From then on, you followed his orders, right?”

People like Jin Liu had bad fates. They were born to live a life of bloodshed. They had no freedom or name. They were abandoned from birth. They were people who should not even have been born.

Looking at this kind old man, Jin Liu felt as if he had been seen through. He nodded. “Senior, you’re right. I was originally nameless. I was born in the dirtiest and cheapest brothel. I am the product of a prostitute. I shouldn’t have been born. Even if I was trained as a sacrificial soldier, I was destined to become a ghost of someone else. If not for Master’s choice, I would have died long ago.”

Back then, when the emperor brought Zhou Zhi to choose sacrificial soldiers, Zhou Zhi did not choose the most qualified ones. He chose those who were not so qualified and gave all of them a way out. He was the one who fished them out of purgatory.

From then on, they grew up together. He was their master, their benefactor, and the most sacred lamp in their hearts.

They respected him, protected him, and felt even more sorry for him. His life as a noble was difficult, what more the ants of the Chiliocosm?

Elder Niu looked at Jin Liu. He smiled kindly and said, “Don’t worry. Your master’s servant palace is bright, which means that his core is bright. Your master will be a long-lived person. I think he should be with the girl from Old Wu’s family. Wait patiently.”
