Chapter 1895: Chapter 1893: The Place Where People Are Hidden
There are four buttons side by side, each a different color, and a screen above them.
"What’s the name of this instrument?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
Qin Yize pondered for a moment, "It’s just been developed, and this is the only one. You could call it a life detection instrument."
"I have to say, it’s quite fitting. So, where shall we go to test it?"
Qin Yize looked at the two children and seriously said, "Qiaoqiao, I’m doing this to have some idea of what’s going on. But as for how to proceed, the elders of the Phoenix Clan still need to discuss it, and besides, they have the Clan Leader."
For a Phoenix Clan that has passed down traditions for hundreds of years, there are definitely many clan rules that need to be observed and respected.
Even if they are good friends, Qin Yize knows there are certain things he cannot intervene in without permission.
Gu Qiaoqiao pouted in disappointment.
Seeing his wife’s expression, Qin Yize understood her thoughts and quickly showed her how to use it.
It turned out the red button was to turn it on, the green button to use it, and the other two buttons to adjust the direction and frequency. Naturally, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t understand the series of numbers that appeared, so Qin Yize explained them one by one, telling Gu Qiaoqiao about the number of living beings here and the nearby energy-active creatures...
The screen continued to flash with numbers rising and falling incessantly.
"Wow, there really are quite a lot of living things nearby," Gu Qiaoqiao exclaimed.
"Silly girl, we’re standing right here, so of course it’s like that."
Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei tugged at Qin Yize’s hand, demanding to see it. He crouched down and pointed at the screen, explaining patiently even though he knew they wouldn’t understand yet. However, after a while, the two children lost interest.
At that moment, the courtyard door swung open, revealing Elder Sima, his expression grave.
Seeing the family of four in the courtyard, he carefully and earnestly invited Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao to the Divine Land Hall.
Without hesitation, Qin Yize took his wife and children to the Divine Land Hall.
Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen were also present.
Originally the proud groom, Chu Chengfeng now had a deep furrow in his handsome brow.
Upon seeing Gu Qiaoqiao, Qin Yize, and the family of four arrive, noticing Xiao Bai and the White Wolf trailing behind, he stood up and said solemnly, "I really owe thanks to Xiao Bai and Big White for last night’s incident."
Xiao Bai meowed proudly several times, and the White Wolf wagged its tail happily.
They enjoyed being praised.
"Have you discovered anything?" Qin Yize asked.
"Not yet. We’ve searched around the Divine Land thoroughly, especially since a while ago when searching for me and Xiao Wen, the entire area within a hundred miles was combed clean, and no places where someone could hide were found."
Qin Yize exchanged a glance with Qin Yize.
Qin Yize spoke indifferently, "I think you might have missed some folded spaces in the areas you searched."
"Ah Ze, are you referring to the place where Xiao Wen and Mo Li once stayed?" Elder Sima asked promptly.
"It should be that place."
The elders exchanged anxious glances. If there were such places here, it would indeed be dangerous, turning this place from an Imaginary Land of joy and plenty into a spot fraught with potential hazards.
The conversation shifted to various heated discussions.
Chu Chengfeng sat beside Qin Yize, who naturally knew about his past matters.
He directly asked, "Ah Ze, what do you think we should do now?"
"We must conduct a thorough investigation. This potential threat here is indeed dangerous, and I feel it’s mainly targeted at you and Sister Xiao Wen."
Chu Chengfeng’s gaze darkened, "But I remember clearly that she was killed back then."
"Chengfeng, in this world, nothing is absolute, especially for the Mystic Sect. I don’t know much about your Phoenix Clan, but I do know that once Dongfang Yu was almost a dried corpse before he managed to come back to life."
"Yes, at that time, I thought I had killed her, and then I passed out. When I woke up, the elders told me that my father had buried her."
That meant he didn’t actually see it happen himself.
But he knew his father wouldn’t deceive him, especially since his father was so fond of his stepmother at the time. So it’s likely that his father did bury her himself, but then some opportunity resurrected that woman.
Yet, he remembered having destroyed her Spiritual Fire.
In the Phoenix Clan, she was the only one with the green Spiritual Fire.
"Let’s do this; I’ll take you to a place."
Saying this, Qin Yize stood up. Since the Phoenix Clan didn’t mind him and Qiaoqiao getting involved, he decided to take Chu Chengfeng away. Although others were puzzled, because Chu Chengfeng hadn’t instructed them to follow, they could only sit in the Divine Land Hall and continue discussing.
Gu Qiaoqiao guessed that Qin Yize had taken Chu Chengfeng to see that place, and soon afterward, Sima Xiaowen sat beside her.
Her brows furrowed tightly.
Gu Qiaoqiao comforted her, "Don’t worry, Sister Xiao Wen. Everyone is here, brainstorming together. We’ll definitely find this mysterious person."
"Qiaoqiao, I can’t shake a bad feeling."
Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression turned serious, "What premonition?"
"I keep feeling that the Divine Land might be destroyed."
"Sister Xiao Wen, don’t worry. There will always be solutions when the time comes, and I’ve mastered the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation..." Gu Qiaoqiao comforted her softly.
Sima Xiaowen grabbed Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and shook her head, "Qiaoqiao, you should leave with the children. You don’t understand, if it truly is the Clan Leader’s wife, that woman’s heart is not merely cruel. I’m worried she’d harm you and the children."
"Sister Xiao Wen, if it really comes to the children being involved, I’ll definitely take them away immediately. Let’s wait and see."
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was very much a mother—with two adorable children by her side, she certainly wouldn’t let so-called righteousness put her children in danger. That’s something she wouldn’t do.
Having brought her children into this world, she was determined to keep them safe.
It was her responsibility as a mother.
Hearing Gu Qiaoqiao’s words reassured Sima Xiaowen. She squeezed her hand and whispered, "If things go awry here, you must leave with Ah Ze and the children immediately."
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and nodded to her.
She continued to comfort her, "I suspect the person’s abilities aren’t very strong; otherwise, they wouldn’t hide and come out at night, and it doesn’t look like they have any accomplices. But since we’re aware, we can be vigilant and protect against many problems."
At that point, Elder Sima came over, sat on the chair opposite Gu Qiaoqiao, and after a moment’s thought, asked, "Qiaoqiao, can you sense anything?"
