Chapter 1884: Chapter 1882: No Trace
Moreover, with the capabilities of Gu Qiaoqiao and Elder Sima, ordinary people can’t harm them.
Even so, Qin Yize secretly made arrangements. After all, they are his wife and two children, and if anything happens, how could he live on?
So the necessary arrangements must be made.
Thus, Gu Qiaoqiao, with her two children, along with Xiao Bai and White Wolf, got into a black stretch car and sped toward the Phoenix Clan Divine Land.
The driver was a newly accepted disciple in the clan by Elder Sima, about 20 years old, a handsome young man with a cheerful disposition and a special warmth. According to Elder Sima, this was one of his traits, so along the way, he quickly bonded with the two children, as well as Xiao Bai and White Wolf.
Honestly speaking, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t worry much.
She also knew that a car was quietly following behind them, presumably sent by Qin Yize. It did not disturb them, but some arrangements were quietly made for them. Elder Sima just pretended not to see it, and thus they arrived safely and smoothly at the foot of the mountain of the Phoenix Clan. Cars couldn’t be driven further up the mountain.
The car was left in the town at the mountain’s foot, and the car sent by Qin Yize also quietly parked at a distance. However, they were prohibited from entering here, as this is the Phoenix Clan Divine Land, where outsiders simply cannot enter.
Then the group climbed the mountain.
Walking on the mountain path was also very smooth. Although there were poisonous insects, fierce beasts, and miasma, there was Gu Qiaoqiao and Elder Sima, not to mention the towering White Wolf serving as a ride for the two kids.
Xiao Bai majestically led the way at the front, so the poisonous insects and fierce beasts had long fled far away.
Only some harmless small animals peeked from afar, watching them.
For the two children, when they were thirsty they drank, hungry they ate, tired they slept, happily with no worries. This was their first time entering such a mountain, they curiously looked around with their big bright eyes.
Actually, Xiao Bao felt a bit disappointed because he wanted to see big animals like tigers, leopards, or those massive, tree trunk-sized pythons.
He’s only seen them in zoos and on television, but it’s different in the wilderness.
Unfortunately, none of these appeared. He turned to his mother and said in a childish voice, "Mom, I heard from Grandpa that in such wilderness there are always many poisonous insects and fierce beasts, how come we haven’t seen any of them?"
Gu Qiaoqiao did not hide the truth, she pointed at Xiao Bai, "With Xiao Bai here, they dare not come near."
Although Xiao Bao was smart, he didn’t quite understand. After responding with an "Oh," Xiao Bei chattered away and quickly diverted his attention, and so they continued to the Phoenix Clan Divine Land without hindrance.
Standing on Phoenix Clan land, Gu Qiaoqiao thought, the smooth journey was related to the barriers she set up, but more likely due to the Luck Blessing Curse her uncle gave.
Some people in the Phoenix Clan knew Gu Qiaoqiao, while others looked at her with scrutinizing eyes.
However, seeing Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, their eyes all brightened.
For almost fifty years in the Phoenix Clan, there had been no newborn clan members.
Including the most recent Clan Leader, Chu Chengfeng.
He was adopted by Father Chu at the age of three; before that, he had been dormant there for over a decade. It was only later that Father Chu brought him to the Imperial Capital, and then he gradually grew up to a normal child size bit by bit.
So the two little ones were immediately adored by everyone, not to mention the Divine Beast Xiao Bai and the spiritually energetic White Wolf.
People seemed to enjoy them more than Gu Qiaoqiao herself.
This was Gu Qiaoqiao’s most honest thought.
She also carefully examined things; perhaps a few clan members had their little ideas or motives, but in the face of significant issues, they could adhere to their true selves. Moreover, due to the purity of the valley’s atmosphere, people’s hearts here were quite good.
This was also why Gu Qiaoqiao brought her two children here, so she entrusted them to Elder San Ye without worry.
This elder was very amiable and knew Gu Qiaoqiao well. He was very kind to her, inviting her several times to come to the Phoenix Clan Divine Land to play.
This time, seeing Gu Qiaoqiao bringing two little ones, he was even happier, bustling around, so Gu Qiaoqiao had no worries, and she was more at ease with him taking care of the children.
Therefore, after a simple freshen-up, Gu Qiaoqiao followed Elder Sima to begin the search for Chu Chengfeng and Xiao Wen’s whereabouts.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation was still missing the final step, and recently there had been little progress.
This could be related to her slight laxness, yet at this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao focused all her attention and, within her abilities, carefully checked for any abnormal aura or potential overlapping space here.
If she could find it, maybe form a passage, it might allow those two to return, or she could help think of ways for them.
Regrettably, as Elder Sima had said, those two seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind. The aura here was very normal, closely linked to this world, not an independent space apart from it. Only because of the Formation and Barrier, ordinary people couldn’t see it.
By now, it was approaching evening, after walking for most of the day, both mentally and physically exhausted, as this was not like a leisurely walk—it required significant spiritual power and physical exertion.
Gu Qiaoqiao returned to their living quarters, a spacious, clean, bright courtyard.
Elder Sima arranged a middle-aged female clan member to assist Gu Qiaoqiao with everyday tasks, including cooking.
This middle-aged female clan member was from the Phoenix Clan, and she had watched Xiao Wen grow up. However, due to certain events, they had parted ways and had had no contact for many years, until Chief Mo Li’s awakening connected them again.
She has no relatives and naturally no ties, so after handling her affairs, she decisively moved to the Phoenix Clan Divine Land.
No matter how prosperous the city she lived in, she still preferred her hometown.
Gu Qiaoqiao called her Mrs. Leng.
She was efficient and meticulous in her work.
Perhaps because she was filled with spiritual energy and pure-hearted, her smiles were very warm, and the two children liked to be close to her, even the protection-oriented White Wolf did not reject her.
