Chu Gui relied on the county government's files to check all the five-year-old boys in Qionghua Town.

"We will focus on searching these dozen or so gentry families in the hometown. Luo Shuihan should not let his son live a hard life."

"Makes sense."

"What do you think of those missing children? We came here to look for five-year-olds, and those children disappeared. This is too much of a coincidence!"

"Do you suspect someone is secretly targeting us?"

"It shouldn't be. We came here secretly, and the little princess only guessed that the child was hidden here. In my opinion, it's a coincidence."

"But why only five-year-old boys?"

"If someone disappears in broad daylight, there must be someone who saw him. Let's go out and look for clues. Maybe we can find the person we are looking for."

After making up their minds, the two began to look for clues in the town.

Late at night, the night watchman had just finished the second watch when a group of men in black appeared and walked towards the inn.

Mu Chaochao opened her eyes.

"Little Princess, I heard a lot of people coming."

Tianxuan stood up and stood behind the door, opening it a crack to look. The woman diagonally opposite was standing against the door with her eyes closed, not moving at all. Seeing this, Tianxuan picked up a small pendant beside him and hit the woman with it.

"who?"

The woman suddenly opened her eyes and looked around vigilantly. After listening carefully, she detected some noises. She then turned around and walked into the room, gently shaking her companion to wake him up.

"Those people might catch up with us. Protect the master."

Before they could move, several men in black rushed in, brandishing knives at them.

"Find a chance to take the master away."

After several days of fleeing, their companions were either dead, injured or separated, and the two of them who were left as guards were exhausted and soon covered in wounds from the battle.

"Master, we are useless and cannot protect you."

Facing the gradually approaching man in black, the lady smiled coldly, with a hint of desolation in her voice:

"I never expected that the fate of 20 years ago would repeat itself today. I will still die in Tianqi."

There was a gleam of irony in her eyes, as if she was mocking her own fate. Despite facing a desperate situation, there was no trace of fear on the woman's face.

Even in such a miserable situation, he still maintained his elegant and graceful temperament.

"It's so noisy in the middle of the night." A pleasant voice came, as if the speaker was still asleep.

Everyone looked towards the door, where Mu Chaochao was leaning.

"Master, I will make these people quiet down right now."

Tianxuan picked up the sword on the ground and harvested the lives of the men in black one by one at the door. The men in black could not move, with fear in their eyes.

Tianxuan swung his sword swiftly and killed all the men in black in an instant. There was no trace of blood on the ground and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Miss, thank you for saving my life. May I ask your name? I will definitely repay you in the future."

"No need. These people are disturbing my rest." Mu Chaochao said and turned back to the room.

"Madam, you are very weak. Here is the medicine for you." Tianxuan placed the medicine on the bed and looked at the maid who was supporting her companion.

"She's beyond saving." Tianxuan threw her a bottle of medicine and went out.

The woman opened the porcelain bottle, took out a pill and swallowed it.

"master……"

The woman put down her dead companion and stood up to stop her master from taking the medicine of unknown origin. She moved too violently and tore the wound.

"Nothing, just take the medicine and move to another room for the night."

"Yes! Master."

After Mu Chaochao returned to her room, she entered the space to rest. The two set off early the next morning.

"Master, the girl who rescued us has left the inn, and the bodies have been dealt with."

"That girl is not an ordinary person. If I have the chance to meet her in the future, I must repay her well." After taking the medicine, the woman felt much better.

"Master, I wonder how the Lord is doing now? Should we go find Him or go back in secret?"

The lady looked gloomy, but she made up her mind, "We can still be safe for a while. Let's go to the capital first and leave some marks along the way. If my husband is not dead, he will come to find us."

"Yes, Master. I just went downstairs and the shopkeeper said that the girl left the carriage for us."

The maid and the shopkeeper checked out of the room, and the shopkeeper saw them off warmly. It turned out that Mu Chaochao had already paid for their losses from the fight last night.

"God has been kind to me after all. I am so lucky to have met her."

"Master, may you be blessed with great fortune."

They had been fleeing for their lives and didn't have much money on them. They didn't know when they would reach the capital, so having a carriage would be much more convenient.

Tianxuan drove the carriage to the foot of Luoxia Mountain, "Little Princess, we are at the foot of the mountain."

Looking from the foot of the mountain, Luoxia Mountain is majestic and magnificent, like a fairy wrapped in silver, standing quietly between heaven and earth.

The cold air is fresh and pure, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace that is isolated from the world.

Mu Chaochao got off the carriage and put it into the space, summoned Xiao Jin to ride on it and flew towards the mountain.

"Little Princess, there are two Taoist temples over there."

"Xiao Jin, come down near the Taoist temple."

"Gu..." Xiao Jin sprinted and fell down.

When they reached the ground, Mu Chaochao summoned Dabai.

"Ouch..." Dabai was in a very low mood.

"Is Dabai thinking about the king or the tiger cub?"

This is the first time that the Baihu family has been separated for the longest time. No wonder Dabai feels a little sad.

Mu Chaochao touched its big head and comforted it: "Okay, we are at the mountain. Once we cure Brother Ming, we can go back to see the little cub."

"Awoo..." Dabai rubbed Mu Chaochao a few times and responded to her.

Mu Chaochao put Ye Huaiming on Dabai's back and walked towards the Taoist temple.

The two Taoist temples are not far from each other, one is bigger.

The roof with flying eaves and upturned corners, the simple and elegant caisson, and the exquisite stone carvings, although looking a little old, still stand firmly in the mountains. The four characters "Qingyang Dao Zong" are vigorous and powerful, bearing witness to the changes of history.

The other one was built in imitation of a Taoist temple. The doors of the temple were all open. Mu Chaochao walked towards the Qingyang Taoist Sect, where two Taoist priests were competing in martial arts.

The two men slapped each other and then sat down on the ground.

"Oh! I'm so old." The white-bearded Taoist priest cried, holding his waist.

"I won this time, didn't I?"

"Bullshit! You fell to the ground too, how can you be considered a winner?"

"Your waist hurts! If you can't stand up, I win."

"You sound fine, why don't you try to stand up."

"Look, I stand up, and I win this round."

Perhaps because he was too proud, Taoist Qingping accidentally twisted his waist when he stood up.

"Haha, this round will decide the outcome. The treasure of the temple will have to be kept in Qingyun Temple next year."

I thought the two Taoist priests would fight to the death over winning or losing, but it seems that they have a very good relationship as brothers.

"Two Taoist priests." Mu Chaochao bowed to them.

The two Taoist priests then looked at Mu Chaochao.

"The little girl has good aptitude, but unfortunately my sect does not accept female disciples."

"Ah! This is the best seedling I've ever seen, why is it a girl?"

Mu Chaochao looked at the two people commenting on her and said with a smile:

"Masters, I know some medical skills. How about I take a look at them?"
