The one who snatched the paper crane was none other than Han Yuexi, who had been standing nearby.
Holding it in her hand, she softly said, “I’ll find Han Qianzhang! You, come with me!”
Ye Yu pointed at himself and couldn’t help laughing.
What was wrong with this father and daughter pair?
Neither of them had any sense of boundaries when speaking. They just started arranging things for him outright!
“Yuexi, are you really alright? Why not wait until your condition stabilizes first?
And Han Qianzhang is very dangerous right now. You should let Ye Yu go alone!”
Han Gu immediately voiced his concerns.
Ye Yu was completely dumbfounded.
Seriously? Listen to yourself. Is that even something a person should say?
It’s dangerous, so I should go alone?
Even if that’s genuinely what you think, could you at least not say it out loud?
That’s way too coldhearted!
Ye Yu curled his lips slightly, turned his head aside, and muttered, “I’m not going.”
“You have to!”
Han Yuexi tilted her head slightly, her tone incomparably firm.
Ye Yu shot back, “And why exactly?”
“Because she likes you!”
Han Yuexi raised a finger and pointed at her own chest, enunciating each word clearly.
Such a near confession instantly turned Han Gu’s already pale face bright red.
“You brat, and you still say there’s nothing going on between you two?”
Ye Yu covered his face with one hand.
What a disaster.
A moment later, Ye Yu and Han Yuexi left the Ye residence. Guided by the paper crane, they set out to search for Han Qianzhang.
Along the way, Ye Yu repeatedly emphasized that she absolutely was not allowed to say weird nonsense like that again in the future.
Especially in front of her father Han Gu. She should just keep her mouth shut and pretend to be mute.
Look at what happened after she said that. Han Gu got so enraged he had barely managed to sit up before fainting again from anger.
That was terrible for his health!
Couldn’t she show a little concern for the elderly?
Ye Yu rambled on and on, but Han Yuexi only gave one response.
“Don’t worry. Gods can’t die from anger!”
Ye Yu was speechless once more.
Right, right, right. Truly a model daughter of unparalleled filial piety.
Han Gu was so blessed to have her.
At that point, Ye Yu decisively shut his mouth.
He had already realized that divine-nature Han Yuexi was impossible to communicate with.
Trying to force a conversation would only hurt himself in the end.
Better to wait until Han Yuexi completely returned to normal before talking properly.
Led by the paper crane, Ye Yu and Han Yuexi traveled millions of li northward and arrived at a divine city.
The place was called Windshroud Ferry.
Like Balance City, it operated as a massive trading ground.
The God Clan members who came here were a complete mixed bag. By paying ten divine stones, one could obtain a black mask.
Not only could this mask conceal one’s appearance, it could also block all divine sense detection.
Even Divine Lord Realm experts could not probe a person’s background.
The mask was excellent, but it only lasted for three hours.
Once the three hours expired, one had to return to the entrance of the divine city to buy another.
Though somewhat troublesome, this method perfectly concealed the identities of both buyers and sellers.
Whether one profited or suffered losses depended entirely on personal ability. Even if someone wanted revenge afterward, there would be no way to track the other party down.
Because of this, Windshroud Ferry attracted countless members of the God Clan.
Some came hoping to find hidden treasures.
Others came hoping to scam gullible fools.
No matter when one arrived, the place was always bustling with activity.
Ahem, all of this information came from divine-nature Han Yuexi.
To be fair, bringing her along was actually pretty useful.
However, once inside Windshroud Ferry, the paper crane seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force and completely lost its effectiveness.
So at present, the only thing Ye Yu and Han Yuexi knew was that Han Qianzhang was somewhere in this place.
As for exactly where, nobody knew.
Ye Yu tried using divine stones to probe the surrounding environment.
But he discovered that they too were being obstructed.
That realization made him understand something.
Perhaps what truly concealed everyone’s aura was not the mask at all, but the formation beneath their feet.
That’s right.
Beneath this divine city was a massive hidden formation!
Although it was concealed extremely deeply, Ye Yu still sensed traces of it through subtle clues.
Any member of the God Clan capable of setting up such a gigantic formation had to possess unfathomable strength.
There was a very high chance they were a Divine Sovereign Realm expert.
Tsk tsk tsk.
The God Realm really was full of hidden monsters everywhere you looked.
There were simply too many powerful figures.
Just as Ye Yu was considering where to begin searching, a tall demon god walked over.
Because of the mask, his appearance couldn’t be seen clearly.
But his voice carried a trace of shrewdness.
“Fellow Daoists, you’re here looking for someone, right?”
Hearing this, Ye Yu could not help feeling slightly surprised.
“And what makes you say that?”
The demon god laughed.
“There are only three kinds of people who come to Windshroud Ferry. One kind comes to buy things, one kind comes to sell things, and the last kind comes to find people.
The two of you aren’t setting up a stall, and you’re not browsing goods either.
So naturally, you belong to the third category: people looking for someone.
I’m a professional guide here in Windshroud Ferry. My name is Xiao Song. For just a tiny bit of divine stones, I can provide the two of you with all sorts of conveniences!”
The moment he heard the words “professional guide,” Ye Yu immediately understood.
In massive divine cities like this, there were often many God Clan members who depended on the city for survival.
They knew the city extremely well and specialized in helping outsiders, earning divine stones or cultivation resources in return.
Perhaps their fees weren’t cheap, but they were definitely worth the price.
Having people like this around could save a lot of unnecessary detours.
Ye Yu took out fifty divine stones from his Storage Ring, but instead of handing them over directly, he merely held them in his palm.
Xiao Song tactfully refrained from reaching for them and simply stood there waiting for instructions.
“I have a friend who came here to sell something a few days ago, but afterward, he lost contact with us.
We want to find him.
Come, show him a portrait of your younger brother and ask whether he’s seen him before!”
Ye Yu’s last sentence was directed at Han Yuexi.
She spread out both hands.
“I don’t have one!”
Ye Yu took a deep breath and did his best to maintain a calm tone.
“If you don’t have one, then draw one, alright?”
Han Yuexi nodded slightly.
She immediately took out paper and a brush. In only thirty breaths, she finished the drawing.
But the moment the paper was lifted up, both Ye Yu and Xiao Song fell silent.
Was this thing even supposed to be a person?
This was pure doodling, alright?
If there had been even the slightest outline, Ye Yu wouldn’t have been this speechless.
Forget it.
As always, if Han Yuexi couldn’t be relied on, then he could only rely on himself.
Ye Yu picked up the brush and paper and began sketching.
It took a bit longer, but at the very least, he managed to draw Han Qianzhang from memory.
Maybe it wasn’t completely identical, but it resembled him by at least eighty or ninety percent.
That was more than enough.
Ye Yu handed the portrait to Xiao Song together with the divine stones.
“These fifty divine stones are only the deposit. Help me find this person, and there’ll be an even greater reward afterward.”
Xiao Song carefully examined the portrait for quite a while.
“Fellow Daoist, I’ve seen this person before. Really! It was near the entrance to Windshroud Ferry. I saw him enter together with another person.”
