Everyone searched around for a long time but did not find the person they were looking for. Liu Ying and Liu Lu's eyes turned red, and they looked like they were about to cry.
However, not everyone was worried about Ouyang Zixin's safety. Baike and the two siblings stood still, their eyes flickering, lost in their thoughts.
At the moment the Howling Twin-headed Serpent self-destructed, Yun Tianmo clenched his fists behind him, his footsteps shifting slightly, unable to hide his inner worry, though he did not show it on his face.
"Don't panic." Yun Tianmo closed his eyes and sent out his spiritual sense, covering an area of ten zhang. After sensing for a while, he finally spoke, seemingly relieved.
As long as she is not dead, nothing else matters.
Ning Zhiyuan quickly turned around, gripping Yun Tianmo's arms tightly and said sternly, "Did you sense something?"
As the saying goes, concern leads to chaos. At that moment, Ning Zhiyuan's eyes were wide with rage; he wished he could kill the Howling Twin-headed Serpent a hundred times over and was not focused on sensing the changes in the surrounding air currents.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu knew of Yun Tianmo's abilities. Most importantly, they knew he had a connection with Nameless. Since Nameless disappeared at the same time as their elder sister, he might be the key to finding her. Hearing Yun Tianmo speak, they forced themselves to calm down and looked at him with hopeful expressions.
The icy demeanor of Yun Tianmo was intimidating; getting him to explain was not an easy task. However, concerning Ouyang Zixin's safety, if he only told everyone not to panic without providing any explanation, Ning Zhiyuan would be the first to confront him.
His gaze swept over several people before finally settling on Baike and the two siblings, his eyes filled with coldness. He said slowly, "Aren't you going to leave?"
Seeing them made him feel obstructed. If it weren't for Ouyang Zixin's safety being more important at that moment, Yun Tianmo would not have spared them a glance and might have even attacked again to kill the man who once tried to scheme against Ouyang Zixin.
Baike's guards were all dead. After learning that the siblings also came from Dream Nation, they had no choice but to temporarily leave with them.
Although she was also concerned about Ouyang Zixin's life or death—hoping she was dead—she knew that if she did not leave now, if Yun Tianmo truly got angry, she would likely lose her life here.
The few of them quickly left, leaving only Yun Tianmo, Ning Zhiyuan, and two maidservants behind.
"Is it time now?"
If Ning Zhiyuan did not pry open Yun Tianmo's mouth today, he would never give up. Even without a chance of winning, he would definitely confront Yun Tianmo.
Seeing Ning Zhiyuan's impatient demeanor, Yun Tianmo snorted coldly and mocked him, "Are you sure you haven't been swapped?"
Only Ning Zhiyuan could understand this, but he was too anxious to engage in any further conversation. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Whether it's a swap or not is not important right now."
His current demeanor was exactly what Nangong Tuo would display. He was no longer the Light and Easy Ning Zhiyuan.
But he didn't care. In his heart, the news about Ouyang Zixin was far more important than how he appeared.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu, seeing this, dared not say much. If even A San Gongzi couldn't get any answers, then their inquiries would yield no results and would only provoke Yun Tianmo's disdain.
However...

"What's there to hesitate about? Miss, just travel with us; we can look out for each other."
The man chuckled lightly, occasionally coughing, clearly still suffering from the blow dealt by Yun Tianmo.
Baike hesitated; these two siblings seemed to have some status, and this man was actually practicing Purple Xuan Summoning. Such cultivation might not be high, but it must be highly regarded in Dream Nation.
Did they know her identity? Were they trying to ingratiate themselves?
Bai Kexin's concerns were not unfounded. The Bai Clan had been reclusive, but their foundation had remained for hundreds of years. If someone were determined to investigate, it would be hard to hide. Many had sought to befriend her because of her background; few were genuinely kind to her.
Now she had no guards by her side, and the sudden appearance of these siblings made her wary of their intentions.
"Big sister, we are good people; please travel with us." Huan'er circled around Baike playfully, having completely forgotten the earlier shocking scene and eager for this beautiful big sister to join them.
Faced with Huan'er's innocent gaze and sincere invitation, Baike felt a bit troubled but didn't know how to refuse such a naive and kind child. After all, just moments ago, she had pleaded with her brother for help; otherwise, she feared she might be...
She reached out to touch Huan'er's round face and smiled gently for once, asking without any ulterior motives, "Little sister, what is your name?"
Huan'er loved Baike's voice and squinted her eyes as she replied, "Big sister, my name is Huan'er."
The man sighed and shook his head at this; his sister was so innocent and naive. Baike's question was likely about their family name. To show his sincerity, he added on behalf of Huan'er, "Miss, we siblings come from Dream Nation's Zhai Family."
Zhai Family?
"Big sister, my name is Zhai Huan, and this is my cousin, he is called..."
Huan'er was about to introduce her brother when she noticed that the beautiful big sister in front of her seemed to be lost in thought and a bit displeased. In Dream Nation, anyone who heard they came from the Zhai Family would usually be overjoyed.
Pouting at her brother, Huan'er asked, "What's wrong with this big sister?"
The young man, from a branch of the Zhai Family, was named Zhai Yiqi. While others were eager to befriend them upon hearing the Zhai Family name, Baike was different. Baike was the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan, a hidden family from Dream Nation. How could she possibly regard the Zhai Family in the same light as others? To her, the Zhai Family was likely just slightly better than an ordinary family.
After calming Huan'er for a moment, Baike regained her composure. Her expression remained cool and gentle, showing no significant change as she said, "I had not heard that the Zhai Family produced someone talented in Purple Xuan Summoning. My apologies."
Baike had to be polite, but it was clear that her attitude towards the siblings did not change much after they introduced themselves.
Indeed, as the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan, her perspective was exceptional.
Zhai Yiqi silently admired her and became even more determined to befriend Baike. Eventually...
Baike agreed to accompany the Zhai siblings not out of safety concerns—within Lingchi Peak, as long as she did not actively hunt, avoiding High-Level Mystic Beasts would not be a problem.
It was simply that the Zhai Family might prove useful in the future; that was why she agreed.
Thus, these three individuals with their own thoughts set off together, enjoying their time while hunting. (To be continued.)
