Chapter 542 Following the Information
*Knock* *Knock*
Lady Chu knocked on the door with a resolute expression on her graceful face, but her heart was beating irregularly, almost like she’d just ran a marathon.
After all, she had waited over a decade for this moment.
A few moments went by without anyone answering the door, and Lady Chu patiently waited for an entire minute before knocking on the door again.
However, nobody answered the door.
"How weird... Where could he be at this time? According to my information, he rarely leaves home." Lady Chu wondered out loud.
"Let’s wait here for a bit," she then said to the old man.
"I understand." He nodded.
Minutes quickly turned into hours, yet Yuan showed no sign of returning.
"Perhaps he moved out after that incident?" The old man suddenly suggested.
"That’s not possible. I checked with the intelligence agency right before we came here. They said that Yu Tian hasn’t moved out." Lady Chu said with a puzzled frown on her face.
Eventually, she retrieved her cellphone and dialed a certain number.
"Hey, it’s me. I want to know where Yu Tian went. He’s not home, and I have waited for many hours."
A few minutes later, the person on the other side of the phone said, "Apparently, Meixiu, Yu Tian’s caretaker, brought two plane tickets to Yang City. I assume they went there for some reason."
"Yang City? What is he doing there?" Lady Chu raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
"Can you check the system to see when they will return?" She then asked.
"I have already checked the system for you, Young Lady, but it appears that they didn’t buy a ticket home yet."
"So either they don’t plan on returning or they don’t know when they’ll return, huh? Keep me updated, and try to find out where they went after going to the Yang City."
"Roger, Young Lady."
Lady Chu released a deep sigh after hanging up the phone, "I waited 10 years for this moment, and he’s gone off to another city with another woman? How troublesome."
"Will we be heading to Yang City?" The old man suddenly asked her.
"Of course, and we’re not going to stop until I find him!"
"I understand. Allow me to prepare the airplane." The old man nodded before taking out his cellphone and making a few calls.
"I have notified the Masters that we will be going to Yang City. They said to stay away from the Six Spiritual Families’ territory."
"Okay."
The two of them left the apartment shortly after and returned to the car.
Once they were inside, they drove to the airport, where their private airplane was already prepared for them, and they lifted into the air shortly after boarding.
Meanwhile, in the Jaded Garden, Yuan and Meixiu returned to the immortal caves after another day of intensive training.
After a quick shower, they went to the Silver Restaurant for dinner.
At night, they would either go to sleep or cultivate.
Yuan decided to go to sleep since his cultivation base was barely improving after he entered Spirit Master.
Meixiu decided to cultivate, as that would mean she didn’t need to share a bed with Yuan, and she also wanted to take advantage of the rich spiritual energy in the area.
The two of them would repeat their next few days in such a manner.
By now, Meixiu has completely familiarized herself with the bow, and she would even spar with some of the instructors.
"Okay, let’s end it here today." The instructor said to Meixiu after training with her for half an hour.
"Thank you for the session today, Instructor Li." Meixiu bowed to her afterward.
"Even though I am supposed to be training you, I am also getting good training out of this. You have improved vastly after just a few days. At this rate, you’ll surpass me after a few more weeks."
"Anyways, before you leave, I should let you know that there will be a small competition amongst the archery disciples tomorrow afternoon. If you want to see how you compare with the others, you should join the competition. The prize will be a premium bow crafted by Elder Hong himself."
"Tomorrow, right? I will be there." Meixiu nodded.
After saying her goodbyes, she went back down to the first floor, where Yuan was training with Wang Ming.
The two of them have been practicing basically every day. In fact, they fought so much that the other disciples in the gymnasium would no longer stop to watch them, as it was such a common occurrence.
The sound of wood colliding with each other would resound every time Yuan or Wang Ming swings their sword, creating this somewhat rhythmic sound.
"Hm? Is it already evening?" Yuan stopped sparring with Wang Ming once he noticed Meixiu’s presence, as she would always appear when it was starting to get dark outside.
After Meixiu nodded, Yuan said to Wang Ming, "Let’s stop here today."
"Alright. Oh, and before you go, there will be a friendly competition between the elite disciples next week. This will be a good opportunity for you to see what it’s like fighting the other disciples, as they all wield different weapons."
"A competition, huh? That sounds interesting." Yuan nodded, and he continued, "Where will it be held?"
"I can take you there. I will tell you more about it the day before."
Sometime later, Yuan and Meixiu returned to the immortal caves.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Yang City, Lady Chu picked up her phone that had been ringing.
"Did you find out where Yu Tian went?" she asked the person on the other side.
"Yes. According to our intel, they got a helicopter service that brought them to the Jaded Garden, and they haven’t returned yet, so there’s a good chance that they are still there."
"Jaded Garden?" Lady Chu immediately frowned when she heard this information, as she knew that was where the Six Spiritual Families were located. In fact, it was the core of their headquarters.
However, she was advised to stay away from the Six Spiritual Families, putting her in a difficult situation.
