illicit relationship

After consuming the fruit, Flower said, "I want to find a way back to the city now. You stay here."

"Be careful." Xiao Tian still hoped that he could help her, but he knew that he could not do anything at that moment.

He even could not walk properly, so there was no way he could help her find a way back to the city. He would only be a burden if he followed her.

"All right." After saying that, Flower left.

Xu Hotel, Ren Aoxu's Room.

"Where is senior brother?" Ren Aoxu started to panic when he found out that Xiao Tian didn't come back to the hotel last night.

He had tried to call Xiao Tian many times, but he still could not reach Xiao Tian's phone until now.

'Should I call senior Mu Huo and the others?'

After thinking carefully, Ren Aoxu decided to call Mu Huo.

"What's wrong, Ren?" Mu Huo said after picking up the phone.

As usual, he was currently teaching Xiao Tian's underlings martial arts.

"Senior Mu Huo, can you come to Fuku city now?" Ren Aoxu responded. "Senior Brother still hasn't returned to the hotel since yesterday. I want you to help me find him."

"What?" Mu Huo said in surprise. "Did something happen to him?"

"I don't know." Ren Aoxu responded. "But I can't reach his phone since yesterday."

"All right. I will be there soon." After saying that, Mu Huo hung up the phone. "Everyone, let's stop for today."

"Eh!" Xiao Tian's underlings were startled after hearing Mu Huo's words.

Mu Huo was a strict person, so they found it hard to believe what they were hearing. Something like this only happened when Xiao Tian told him to stop the training.

"It's like this…." Mu Huo began to tell them the reason why he told them to stop practicing martial arts.

"Let's go to Fuku city."

"Damn! If someone dares to hurt our leader, I will skin that person alive."

"I will do that too. I will torture that person until that person begs to die."

"Instructor, what are we waiting for? Let's go to Fuku city now."

One by one, Xiao Tian's underlings wanted to find him.

"I know how you feel, but half of you have to remain here to protect our base." Mu Huo uttered, "It would be dangerous if no one guarded our base."

"He is right." Chun Hua spoke abruptly. "Half of us is more than enough to find our leader."

Since only half of them were able to go to Fuku city, they started arguing over who would look for Xiao Tian.

Mu Huo, who saw that, was amazed by Xiao Tian.

'It seems like they really like their leader.'

These were the words that appeared in his mind.

After they decided who would go to Fuku City, they immediately left.

Xiao Tian's House, Ye Xueyin's room.

After walking out of her room, Ye Xueyin dashed towards Xiao Tian. "Tian, where did you do last night?"

'He is not in his room? Don't tell me..'

She rushed towards the garage to check Xiao Tian's car.

'His car is not here.'

She then ran towards Ye Qingyu's room.

Because she was worried about Xiao Tian's safety, she entered Ye Qingyu's room without knocking on the door. "Qingyu, Tian still hasn't returned home."

Ye Qingyu instantly woke up from her sleep. "Big sister, what's wrong?"

"Tian…he...he still hasn't returned home." Ye Xueyin's eyes were flooded with tears.

Ye Qingyu instantly got out of bed and embraced her big sister. "Don't cry. We will look for him later."

At the same time, Shi Fei appeared in front of Ye Qingyu's room. "Miss Qingyu, let's cook bre-"

She stopped her words halfway when she saw Ye Qingyu hugging Ye Xueyin.

'What is this? Did something happen to them?'

Shi Fei asked in her head.

Ye Xueyin then stopped the hug and turned around. "Fei, Tian still hasn't returned home."

"What?" Shi Fei said in surprise.

She could understand why Ye Xueyin was crying like that. Usually, Xiao Tian would always tell them if he didn't return home, but now, not only did he not do so, his phone was even out of reach.

"Don't worry. We will look for him later." Shi Fei tried to calm Ye Xueyin down.

'I have to do something.'

She added in her head.

After cooking breakfast, Shi Fei headed to her room to call Bi Yu.

"Hello, leader?" Bi Yu spoke in a sleepy voice.

"Bi Yu, tell all the members to look for little brother now." Shi Fei went straight to the point. "You don't need to go to work. I want you to find him as quickly as possible."

"All members?" Bi Yu was startled upon hearing Shi Fei's words.

"Do I need to repeat my words?" Shi Fei's voice turned cold.

"No, no." Bi Yu's body shivered for a second. "I will inform them right away."

After Shi Fei hung up the phone, she went to work.

"It's boring here." Xiao Tian uttered,

It had been three hours since Flower left looking for a way back to the city, so he felt lonely. He was alone in the big cave, and he could not call anyone either because there was no signal.

That was why he hoped Flower would return soon.

'It's boring.'

Xiao Tian sighed.

"I still can't find a way to the city." Flower spoke as she stepped into the cave.

"Rose!" Xiao Tian's eyes shone happily when he saw her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" after saying that, she gave Xiao Tian something. "Here. It can help you walk around later. I know it's boring to keep sitting in the same place."

She gave a wooden crutch to Xiao Tian. The wooden crutch was 'Y' shaped so it could help Xiao Tian walk.

"Thank you." Xiao Tian then rose to his feet with the help of the wooden crutch.

"I found a waterfall earlier. The water is clean, so we can take a bath and drink later." coincidently, Flower found a waterfall not far from the cave earlier. 

This made her happy because they could take a shower later.

"Good." Xiao Tian responded. "Let's go there now."

"Un." Flower nodded her head.
