"She's gone! Yu Yixiang is gone!"
"Impossible, she can't be gone! She must be joking with me!"
Qian Duoduo pushed open the Immortal Cave door and entered for the first time.
He wished so much that Yu Yixiang was standing inside, looking at him with cold, arrogant eyes, and scolding him:
"Who gave you the guts to open my door?"
However, the Immortal Cave was quiet, without a sound.
Only the familiar scent of Yu Yixiang still lingered in the air.
"Senior Sister?"
Qian Duoduo tried calling out.
His voice echoed through the Immortal Cave.
He pushed open the Cultivation room, and inside there was only an orange lotus Spiritual Platform.
"Yu Yixiang!" Qian Duoduo rushed into the lounge.
In the lounge, several clean robes were neatly folded, with gray, blue, and orange robes arranged in order.
On top of the orange robe was an identity token.
The token was the only proof for every Disciple of the Refining Spirit Sect to enter places, receive resources, and Cultivation fees.
Other items could be forgotten or left behind, but the token could not be forgotten; it had to be carried.
What did Yu Yixiang mean by leaving the token here?
Did she leave the Refining Spirit Sect?
Qian Duoduo's chest felt empty, and he shouted loudly:
"Yixiang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Qian Duoduo opened all the doors in the Immortal Cave and searched every room.
However, he found nothing.
Sitting on the ground in the backyard, Qian Duoduo lowered his head and softly called out:
"Yu Yixiang, why did you leave? Where did you go...?"
As he spoke, tears dropped one by one onto the ground.
Qian Duoduo didn't know why he was crying.
During this time, he felt that Yu Yixiang had become his kin, a kin who had experienced life and death together, shared joys and sorrows, a trustworthy, dependable, and indispensable kin.
But such a kin had suddenly left on her own accord!
Slowly, Qian Duoduo calmed down and suddenly thought:
Yu Yixiang disappeared after Ju Leng's Spirit Rank Spiritual Awareness came.
Is there any connection between these two things?
"Old Liu, Yu Yixiang, she..." Qian Duoduo asked softly in his mind.
"Alas, she left on her own."
"Left on her own? No relation to the Spirit Rank Spiritual Awareness Ju Leng mentioned?"
"No. At least no direct relation."
"Why did she leave?"
Qian Duoduo felt relieved, but also unwilling.
"Her world is not here."
Liu Boli's words sounded mysterious, but Qian Duoduo didn't believe them.
"Where is her world?"
"Perhaps you'll see her again when you grow up?"
"Grow up? Golden Core, or Nascent Soul?"
"Neither is enough."
"Liar!"
Qian Duoduo didn't believe he needed to become a Heavenly Human Cultivator to see Yu Yixiang again.
Qian Duoduo had just completed Foundation Establishment; Cultivating to a Heavenly Human Cultivator would take several hundred years!
By then, Qian Duoduo would be too old.
His Master must be trying to comfort him because he was sad.
Liu Boli sighed again and prompted:
"A sudden disappearance of an Inner Sect Disciple is a much bigger deal than Wang Longyu's disappearance last time. You should report it immediately. See what your Palace Lord Zhangzuo Dajiu and Sect Leader can find out."
Right!
Qian Duoduo's spirits lifted.
The Refining Spirit Sect's Formations are omnipresent, and there are Jade Slips for real-time monitoring at the mountain gate and Sect.
Yu Yixiang couldn't have disappeared into thin air; she must have left clues.
Qian Duoduo didn't believe Liu Boli's words.
Yu Yixiang was doing well in the Refining Spirit Sect and was about to achieve The Righteous Foundation Establishment; there was no reason for her to leave quietly.
"Dajiu, Yu Yixiang is missing!"
