Seeing this, Xu Chong did not dare to hide anything anymore, he told the truth: "Ji Mohan... He said that the reason why Rong girl was resurrected by you was because you wanted to take advantage of her ancient bloodline, not because you really wanted to be good to her..."

At this point, Xu Chong looked puzzled: "Brother Zou, is Rong really of the ancient bloodline? Is that bloodline very special?"

Zou Mubai was furious when he heard this.

He knew that these words were undoubtedly a huge blow to He Ronger, and it was no wonder that she fled here so impulsively.

Without caring about his own injuries, Zou Mubai shook off Xu Chong's hand, turned around and walked out of the yard.

He must find He Ronger, explain everything to her, and protect her from any harm.

As for Ji Mohan, he will definitely make him pay the price for what he did.

Zou Mubai's figure quickly disappeared in the yard. He had only one thought in his mind - to find He Ronger as soon as possible and ensure her safety.

The urgency and worry made him almost ignore everything around him, including the anxious calls of Xu Chong and Fei Xiuwen.

His steps were firm and quick, and every step seemed to be a race against time, hoping to bring He Ronger back to a safe place before the worst outcome happened.

Xu Chong had already taken a step forward, ready to follow Zou Mubai to look for He Ronger, but just as he was about to turn around, he saw Ying Qi's figure suddenly shake, as if he had lost all his strength, and he fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

This scene happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

Fei Xiuwen's situation was not optimistic either. While trying to support the seriously injured Si Yao to prevent him from getting further hurt, he anxiously called out Xu Chong's name: "Xu Chong, come and help! Ying Qi has fainted!"

There was a hint of panic and helplessness in his voice, and he was obviously shocked by the sudden situation.

Faced with such a situation, Xu Chong gritted his teeth, turned around and ran back to help.

While assisting Fei Xiuwen in settling Ying Qi, he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Brother Zou would be able to successfully find Rong Yatou's whereabouts and return safely.

Zou Mubai ran anxiously along the winding path leading to the side courtyard.

Coming to a fork in the road, he stopped, his eyes wandering between two completely different roads, thinking secretly in his heart.

"I don't know where Rong'er has gone." He murmured to himself, with deep worry between his brows.

The silence around him seemed to be telling of an unknown answer, making him feel unprecedentedly confused and helpless.

At this moment, Zou Mubai made a decision. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated, then slowly released his spiritual sense.

This force was like an invisible tide, spreading silently in all directions, trying to capture any clues related to He Ronger.

His heart was filled with hope, but also mixed with a hint of uneasiness. After all, in the territory of Wanjing Sect, any slight movement could cause unnecessary trouble.

He firmly believed that He Ronger could not run too far.

This was deep in the island, heavily protected by the Wanjing Sect. Without the permission of the sect master, it was difficult for any outsider to leave easily. Therefore, he focused his search on the passage leading to the back mountain, where the terrain was complex and the vegetation was overgrown, making it an ideal place to hide and escape.

As his spiritual consciousness continued to extend, Zou Mubai's heart also rose to his throat.

Suddenly, a familiar breath emerged in his mind. It was He Ronger's unique breath, faint but clear.

Then, his spiritual sense captured a detail - in the grass near the path in the back mountain, there was a handkerchief embroidered with hibiscus flowers lying quietly. It was the kind that He Ronger often used.

When he saw the handkerchief, Zou Mubai felt an indescribable excitement and relief in his heart.

He quickly withdrew his consciousness, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he turned and rushed towards the bushes, silently saying in his heart: "Rong'er, I will definitely find you."

Finally, after an hour of intense searching and unremitting efforts, Zou Mubai's footsteps slowly stopped at the entrance of a secret cave in the back mountain.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened and everything around was shrouded in thick darkness. Only the occasional chirping of insects in the distance and the faint sobbing sounds coming from the cave added a bit of mystery to this quiet night.

He stood at the entrance of the cave, listening to He Ronger's sad crying, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

The low sobbing sound was like a sharp blade, cutting Zou Mubai's heart again and again, making him feel extremely painful and guilty.

He knew that he had to go in, face Rong'er, and give her an explanation, even if this explanation might not be accepted.

However, just as he was about to step into the cave, a complex emotion surged in his heart, causing him to stop involuntarily. He was afraid, afraid to see Rong'er's eyes full of disappointment and pain, and even more afraid that he would not be able to heal the trauma in her heart with words.

That incident, like an unbridgeable chasm, stood between him and Rong'er, making him feel unprecedentedly powerless and confused.

"Rong'er, how should I tell you?"

Zou Mubai asked himself this question over and over in his mind, and every word seemed as heavy as a block of lead.

He understood that no matter how he explained, he could not change the facts that had already happened, nor could he eliminate the pain in Rong'er's heart.

However, he knew better that escape was not the solution to the problem, and he had to face it all bravely, even if the result was not satisfactory.

Finally, after a lot of inner struggle, Zou Mubai mustered up his courage, slowly raised his feet, and walked into the cave step by step.

Every step seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, but he did not back down, because he knew that this matter must be explained clearly, for Ronger and for the entire spiritual world.

The sound of footsteps at the cave entrance soon caught He Ronger's attention. She suddenly stopped crying, raised her head and stared at the cave entrance nervously.

At the same time, she raised her hand and set up a soundproof barrier and a breath-hiding barrier around herself.

Zou Mubai's cultivation was far superior to He Rong'er's, so he could see her little movements clearly. He said helplessly: "Rong'er, don't be afraid, it's me!"

Hearing the familiar voice, He Ronger finally felt relieved.

But the next moment, she became wary and shouted at the cave entrance, "Don't come in!"

There was determination in her voice.

"I know your purpose in resurrecting me, so you don't have to come and persuade me with false sincerity. I am no longer your junior sister, willing to be used by you. In this life, I am myself, and I only live for myself! Don't think of using me, don't think of making me sacrifice for anyone!"
