Very soon, Xiaobei rubbed his nose with frustration...

The reason for this was because Xiaobei heard the important words they said.

It turns out that the important matter they were talking about was ensuring Lin Ling'er returned unharmed.

"You little bastard, did you hear me? You must bring Ling'er back unharmed! If a hair is missing, we're not done with you!"

"Right!"

Glancing at them, Xiaobei said in a slightly helpless voice, "I... I understand! I promise, I'll definitely bring Sister Ling'er back completely unharmed, okay!"

"That's more like it!"

Having said that, they turned back again to continue bidding farewell to Lin Ling'er...

Xiaobei rubbed his nose...

The reason Xiaobei felt a bit sour just now was because of jealousy!

He also wanted them to softly say goodbye to him like that, but almost choked on his own words...

A half-hour later, Xiaobei glanced at Lin Ling'er sitting in the passenger seat and started driving...

As the car left Xiaohe Village, Xiaobei said somewhat sullenly, "Sister, how long have you been in Xiaohe Village? You've already stolen all my attention. I'm jealous!"

Hearing this frustrated statement, Lin Ling'er laughed.

She actually knew Xiaobei was just casually saying it.

"Haha, this only shows my personality is much stronger than some people's!"

As she spoke, she winked proudly at Xiaobei.

"So thick-skinned!"

Xiaobei muttered this remark and quickly accelerated the car...

Two hours later, the car came to a steady stop in front of a forest...

Xiaobei looked ahead and said, "Is this the place?"

Lin Ling'er gently shook her head, saying, "What are you thinking! How could it be here! We still need to walk far ahead! But the road ahead is hard to walk, so the car has to be left here."

"Oh, I see!"

Xiaobei nodded.

Xiaobei knew that since his family was living in seclusion, they couldn't be in a bustling place, so it's natural that the car couldn't go there.

...

Five minutes later, Xiaobei and Lin Ling'er walked toward the forest together.

Initially, Xiaobei thought it would go smoothly because Lin Ling'er was leading the way!

As it turned out, Xiaobei quickly realized he was overconfident because shortly after starting, Lin Ling'er, who was walking ahead, admitted she was lost...

Carrying a black backpack, Xiaobei glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Lin Ling'er and said, "Sister, you... you're lost?"

Xiaobei was really surprised at this moment...

Because this was the place she grew up. Logically, she shouldn't get lost!

Sensing Xiaobei's surprise, Lin Ling'er shyly whispered, "Yes, I'm lost!"

After saying this, she looked at Xiaobei, explaining in a small voice...

"Back when I was in the family, I hardly ever went out. After getting poisoned, I sneaked out in the dark, and because it was night, I chose my path blindly. I completely forgot which route I took when I escaped!"

"Okay, I understand now!"

After listening to her incredibly detailed explanation, Xiaobei gently nodded...

Soon, Xiaobei softly said, "Since you can't find it, let me try to find it next."

"Xiaobei, you... can you find it?"

Startled by Xiaobei's proactive offer, Lin Ling'er looked at him with slight astonishment...

Sensing the astonishment, Xiaobei said with some frustration in a low voice, "Sister, you... you should have a little faith in me, okay!"

"I... of course, I have faith in you, but... the issue is you've never been to my home, so..."

Understanding her concerns, Xiaobei chuckled and quickly explained, "I've never been there, but I think I can find a way!"

"Then, tell me how you plan to find it!"

Knowing he had to explain clearly to her, Xiaobei smiled and softly said, "Earlier, you mentioned the Spirit Vein to me, right!"

"Yes! Although all the Spirit Veins here were damaged in a previous battle, some were lightly damaged! Our family is built on a lightly damaged Spirit Vein! Honestly, it's because of this decent Spirit Vein that we chose to live in seclusion here!"

After explaining, Lin Ling'er continued to look at Xiaobei with astonishment!

Because until now, she still didn't understand what Xiaobei meant to express.

Noticing her astonishment, Xiaobei chuckled lightly and directly said, "I'm planning to find your family's location based on the Spirit Vein."

"Spirit Vein?"

"Yes, the Spirit Vein will emit Spiritual Energy, and I can sense the Spiritual Energy emanating from these Spirit Veins."

Hearing this straightforward explanation, she paused for a moment, and the next second, her eyes lit up, "Right, I forgot before that you can cultivate!"

"Yes, I can cultivate, so even if it's relatively far, I should be able to sense the Spiritual Energy!"

"Then... quickly give it a try!"

"Okay!"

After gently nodding, Xiaobei chose a flat spot, then sat down!

Once settled, Xiaobei began to meditate...

Seeing Xiaobei close his eyes, she nervously watched him, knowing she couldn't be of any help now, so she could only wait quietly...

"I hope Xiaobei can really succeed! If Xiaobei can't succeed, things will really become troublesome."

While anxiously talking to herself, she clenched her sleeves, watching Xiaobei intently from a short distance away.

With eyes closed and beginning to meditate, Xiaobei was unaware of her anxious thoughts, focusing instead on trying to sense the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

Previously in Xiaohe Village, Xiaobei had done this before, but back then, Xiaobei couldn't sense much!

Xiaobei knew this was because of the lack of Spiritual Power in Xiaohe Village!

This was understandable since there were no Spirit Veins nearby, so the Spiritual Energy shortage was natural.

But here, there are Spirit Veins nearby...

So Xiaobei believed that his sensing efforts would surely have an effect.

"Can't sense it?"

Gradually, Xiaobei murmured softly...

From the start until now, Xiaobei had been trying his best to sense, but to little avail...

"Maybe I should try another location!"

The moment this thought appeared, Xiaobei was ready to give up!

However, just when he was about to give up, Xiaobei's eyes lit up.

The reason was that Xiaobei sensed the surrounding Spiritual Energy becoming slightly abundant...

"It seems like it's going to work!"

Exclaiming excitedly, Xiaobei continued to circulate his Nine Wood True Qi...

Soon, Xiaobei's smile grew more confident as he realized he had successfully sensed the Spiritual Energy in the air.

"Is... is it a success?"

Lin Ling'er, observing Xiaobei closely, excitedly spoke up the moment she saw Xiaobei's lips twitch slightly...

As she spoke, Lin Ling'er saw Xiaobei open his eyes. At that moment, she quickly and excitedly asked, "Xiaobei, quickly... tell me, is it a success? Tell me quickly!"

Hearing such an unmistakably excited question, Xiaobei smiled and said, "Sister, have I ever failed once I've taken action? Of course, it worked!"

Receiving such an assured response, Lin Ling'er smiled happily!

Soon, she looked at Xiaobei, excitedly asking, "Then... where is it?"

"Directly in front of us!"

After a brief orientation, Xiaobei quickly raised his hand, pointing straight ahead.

"Straight ahead?"

"Yes! I can't estimate the exact distance, but the Spiritual Energy I sensed is wafting from that direction."

"In that case, it's about right, let's move out."

"Okay!"

Nodding vigorously, Xiaobei stood up, and in an instant, his eyes lit up...
