“Third Prince, look at this,” a guard exclaimed excitedly as he dragged a Mystical Beast back early in the morning.
Nangong Tuo glanced at the Mystical Beast on the ground, intrigued, and waved his hand for them to handle it as they wished. His mind was solely focused on finding Ouyang Zixin.
At that moment, Sito Rongyan approached gracefully and saluted Nangong Tuo. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed the Mystical Beast on the ground and was taken aback—Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast!
This creature was the very one that Ouyang Zixin had taken a Purple-Eyed Beast from! It had escaped that day, and now it unexpectedly appeared before her again. Sito Rongyan smiled charmingly and asked Nangong Tuo for the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast, thinking that such a thing would surely be favored by women, and Nangong Tuo would not be so stingy.
Just as Nangong Tuo was about to agree, the guard dragging the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, casting a glance at Sito Rongyan.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Tuo's expression brightened, and he asked if it was true. Seeing the guard's certainty, he waved his hand decisively, “Find a way to have it lead the way.”
Sito Rongyan was still waiting for Nangong Tuo to agree to give her the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast when she realized that with just one word from the guard, Nangong Tuo had completely disregarded her.
Though dissatisfied, she knew that the guard belonged to Nangong Tuo, so she held back her frustration with a huff.
Having promised not to hold him back last night, Sito Rongyan dared not resort to any tricks today. She obediently followed Nangong Tuo as they hurried along. Fortunately, Nangong Tuo's cultivation level wasn't very high; otherwise, it would have been quite challenging for Sito Rongyan.
After half a day's journey, they finally stopped to rest for a moment.
“Miss, don’t you think that today’s route taken by Third Prince seems quite different from usual?” During their break, one of the guards from Situ Manor whispered in Sito Rongyan's ear.
Sito Rongyan was exhausted after half a day's brisk walking and replied irritably, “What’s different? Isn’t it because I’m no longer deliberately dragging my feet that their speed has increased?”
The guard looked mysteriously toward Nangong Tuo and continued in a low voice, “Miss, you may not know this, but I overheard them saying they caught a Mystical Beast that can lead the way; that Mystical Beast can find Ouyang Zixin.”
What?!
The Water Bag fell to the ground with a thud, and Sito Rongyan asked in disbelief, "How is this possible? I have never heard that the Mystical Beast of Lingchi Peak has such abilities."
This wild Mystical Beast is different from a Summoned Beast. It has never been trained and has not interacted with humans for a long time; how could it possibly know the way?
Seeing Sito Rongyan's expression, the guard realized she was skeptical and had no choice but to recount all the information he had heard along the way.
"Is it that beast?" Sito Rongyan thought to herself. No wonder the Third Prince was unwilling to give it to me; it turns out that beast has such utility.
Originally, Sito Rongyan thought that with Lingchi Peak being so vast, regardless of speed, it would be difficult to find where Ouyang Zixin was headed. She had just agreed to stop slowing everyone down and gritted her teeth to move quickly. Little did she expect that despite all her calculations, she had overlooked the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast.
"How did that Demoness manage to do this!" Sito Rongyan fumed, repeatedly referring to her as a Demoness. However, she still doubted, "Keep an eye on that beast; I refuse to believe that an uncivilized creature can truly find Ouyang Zixin."
"Understood," the guard replied with his head bowed before walking away.
"Wait." Although Sito Rongyan was suspicious, she did not dare to be careless and called the guard back, whispering a command.
The guard paused for a moment after hearing her, then a fierce expression appeared on his face as he nodded.
Only then did Sito Rongyan feel relieved. She picked up another Water Bag and began sipping from it slowly.

At the top of Wan Nan Slope.
"Miss, you’re awake," Liu Ying exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Ouyang Zixin regain consciousness. "Quick, Liu Lvy, come here! The young lady is awake!"
Ouyang Zixin lazily opened her eyes, yawned widely, still looking drowsy.
"Miss, you have been asleep for a whole day and night. Please drink some water," Liu Lvy said softly as she handed over the Water Bag.
Two maids hurriedly helped Ouyang Zixin sit up to assist her in drinking.
"Nameless." Ouyang Zixin frowned after taking just one sip.
— Master.
"This water is too harsh; I want Azure Leaf Tea," Ouyang Zixin said, pushing away the Water Bag that Liu Lvy was holding with a look of disdain, not wanting to drink anymore.
— Understood.
After severely exhausting her energy, Ouyang Zixin had been feeling drowsy. Upon waking, she sensed that something about her felt different, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
Nameless acted quickly, somehow procuring a Water Bag filled with Azure Leaf Tea. As soon as it was opened, a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Ouyang Zixin squinted her eyes and happily drank a good amount.
Savoring the taste, she looked around but did not see Yun Tianmo. Ouyang Zixin vaguely remembered waking up once during her slumber and seeing Yun Tianmo nearby; why was he not here now?
Seeing Ouyang Zixin looking around as if searching for someone, Liu Lvy couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"What are you laughing at?" Liu Ying asked curiously.
Ouyang Zixin turned to look at Liu Lvy and said, "Yes, what are you laughing at?"
It was rare to see someone sneaking a laugh without any subtlety.
Liu Lvy straightened her expression and said seriously, "The Ink King instructed us to take good care of the young lady. He will be away for a while, so it is unlikely that the young lady can find him right now."
Ouyang Zixin's face showed a hint of embarrassment as she retorted, "Who is looking for him? I'm just curious. He clearly asked me to follow him, yet he has disappeared."
"Yes," Liu Lvy replied with her head down, not refuting her.
"By the way," Ouyang Zixin seemed to remember something and her expression turned serious, "that day you all left early. Why didn't you come to look for me the entire night?"
"Young lady, it wasn't that we didn't want to come find you that night; we were too afraid to do so." Liu Ying and Liu Lu's faces showed difficulty when recalling that night.
Afraid?
"What do you mean?"
It turned out that on that night, Liu Ying and Liu Lu arrived at the cave and quickly got everything ready. However, after waiting for a long time without seeing Ouyang Zixin or the Ink King catch up, they decided to go out and look for her.
But who would have thought that as soon as they exited the cave, they encountered the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast? The two were worried about the Beast Tide incident happening again and had no choice but to abandon the thought of searching for Ouyang Zixin. They could not bring danger to her side once more.
