Chapter 1883: Chapter 1881: Such Is Luck

"What did they do before they disappeared? Elder, do you know?" Gu Qiaoqiao steadied her emotions and asked.

"I don’t know either. We were preparing for the ritual, and this Chu Chengfeng was always pestering Xiaowen. The two of them were always together, so I didn’t want to disturb them. Then, when the ceremony was about to start, we realized they were missing.

It seems they’ve been missing for about three days now. We’ve searched both inside and outside the Divine Land without finding a trace of them. We even used the power of the Sacred Object, the Nirvana Stone, but couldn’t find them. However, I do not feel pain or anxiety; they are both alive and safe, though I can’t understand why they are nowhere to be seen."

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Elder Sima, although Xiaowen and I aren’t blood sisters, we have a very strong bond. If she had really encountered some misfortune, I would definitely sense it immediately, but I don’t feel anything, so it should be alright. Chu Chengfeng also has a good relationship with Father Chu; I will have Qin Yize call his father and see how he’s doing..."

Although the daughter is currently in no mortal danger, as Elder Sima and the other elders can confirm, the fact that they are nowhere to be found, as if these two people have disappeared from the world without a trace, remains troubling.

Given their ability to search for Sima Xiaowen and Chief Mo Li, it shouldn’t be a problem, especially given Chief Mo Li’s strong connection with the Phoenix Clan. They have the Nirvana Stone and the unique aura of the chief left in the Divine Emperor Hall. With these things, they should be able to easily determine his location, but there’s no reaction at all; it’s as if these two people evaporated into thin air.

Many speculate they might be in another dimension, but that’s the most frightening scenario—if the passage to these two dimensions were closed, wouldn’t it mean Sima Xiaowen and Chu Chengfeng could never return?

This is something Elder Sima and the Phoenix Clan people simply cannot accept.

Currently, the Phoenix Clan is finally showing signs of prosperity and everyone is full of vigor. Their land still brims with spiritual energy, and with the barrier in the depths of this mountain forest, it should be fine for at least another century.

After a hundred years, they might move to other places.

But for now, they will remain here.

So Chief Mo Li is their backbone. Without him, the Phoenix Clan would fall apart, so everyone’s extremely anxious, employing countless methods, even ancient ones, yet still have found no trace of these two people.

The barriers, formations—there are many in the clan who are skilled in these, and they’ve searched hundreds of miles around but found no such place.

Therefore, Elder Sima is preparing to seek help from Gu Junbai, but upon arriving at the Imperial Capital, he discovered Gu Junbai had already left.

Elder Sima does not regret failing to make contact by phone; sometimes opportunity and luck are actually determined by fate.

It cannot be forced.

Maybe fate dictates that he should seek help from Qiaoqiao.

He deliberated for a moment, then said straightforwardly, "Qiaoqiao, can you go to the Phoenix Clan’s Divine Land to see if you can find any trace of the two?"

Without hesitation, Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Alright, I’ll prepare, and we will set off tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Gu Qiaoqiao agreed so readily that Elder Sima looked at her with some gratitude, "Qiaoqiao, thank you for your trouble."

"Elder Sima, please don’t say that; Xiaowen is like my real sister. If she lost contact, I would certainly go to all lengths to find her, but this time I might be away longer, so I’ll need to bring Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei along."

"Don’t worry, I will ensure these two children’s safety and other matters," Elder Sima promptly guaranteed.

The two then discussed other matters before Elder Sima left the Qin Family Old Residence.

Meanwhile, Qin Yize called Father Chu, subtly probing during their conversation and found Father Chu to be the same as usual, cheerful, and even told Qin Yize that Chu Chengfeng had mentioned before leaving that when he returns, it will be around the time for the wedding ceremony...

Concerned about Father Chu getting anxious, Qin Yize naturally did not mention Chu Chengfeng’s disappearance; instead, he changed the topic, talked about other things, and then hung up.

Before the call ended, Father Chu also happily discussed with Qin Yize, asking him to inform more friends of Chu Chengfeng that the wedding must be grand and lively. This is his eldest son’s first marriage and the Chu family’s first major happy occasion, so it must be taken seriously.

Although no useful information was gained, there was no bad news either.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize, her expression somewhat serious, "Ah Ze, I’ve already spoken with Elder Sima, I’ll be taking Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei along."

Qin Yize frowned slightly, "The journey is so far; traveling with two kids is not only exhausting but inconvenient."

"Ah Ze, Xiaowen told me that the Phoenix Clan’s Divine Land is one of the rarest this world offers, brimming with spiritual energy. I want to take the kids to see it; I’ll also take Xiao Bai and White Wolf along."

Seeing Qin Yize still looking worried, Gu Qiaoqiao continued, "And with Elder Sima, you can rest assured that safety is assured."

"I’m not worried about safety; it’s just that the kids are too young, and I feel you’ll be overly burdened, Qiaoqiao. Leave the kids at home; besides, if you truly want to take them, the elders definitely won’t agree."

Indeed, neither the Qin Family nor the Gu Family agreed with Gu Qiaoqiao bringing the two kids along. If Qin Yize were to accompany her, it would be fine, but Qin Yize is overwhelmed with work commitments at his company now.

A day or two might be doable, but this trip would take at least half a month before returning, and the company can’t do without him at such a critical juncture, so Qin Yize can’t accompany her.

In that case, Gu Qiaoqiao alone taking two kids would be burdensome and inconvenient, not to mention both families find it hard to part with the kids for over half a month.

However, ultimately, Gu Qiaoqiao convinced both families because her intuition was correct—this trip, the two kids must come along.

As for the reason, she could not fully disclose it to the Qin and Gu Family members; she only gave a general explanation, and eventually, both families acquiesced.

If it weren’t for the fact that outsiders cannot casually visit the lands of the Phoenix Clan, they surely would all have followed her, but they reiterated their cautions countless times instead.

The departure was hurried, but Qin Yize prepared many things and placed them in the car.

Since Gu Qiaoqiao insisted, Qin Yize didn’t obstinately try to stop her.

After discussing with Elder Sima, although still somewhat concerned, Qin Yize felt better because Elder Sima had arranged for Phoenix Clan members to meet them at each town and city along the way.
