Chapter 408 - 408 Proficient

408 Proficient

Dong Xi sensed the spirit roots, but she still could not tell what was different. It was just that she seemed to be more proficient in cultivating.

Dong Xi knew that his spirit root value was slowly increasing. However, this time, it seemed to be different from the previous times.

Dong Xi did not understand and asked Su Cheng, but this time, Su Cheng did not answer for a long time.

In the end, Dong Xi sighed helplessly. Forget it, at least she had benefited from this.

At this moment, Dong Xi was like an abyss, absorbing all the spiritual energy in the Spirit-Gathering Array.

The spiritual energy in Dong Xi’s body turned purple bit by bit, and finally merged into the spiritual liquid obediently.

Dong Xi’s communication jade slip suddenly lit up, and he opened his eyes.

Dong Xi did not dare to enter a meditative state in the Shangguan Residence. Otherwise, how could she have woken up so quickly?

Dong Xi took out a jade slip and saw that it was a message from Senior Brother Tie Zhu.

[Junior Sister, I lost contact with Junior Brother Rui Ming!]

Dong Xi was shocked and immediately sent a message.

[What did Senior Brother Rui Ming say before he left?]

Tie Zhu quickly replied. [He said he was going to look for something, but he didn’t elaborate. He won’t reply to my message now.]

Dong Xi immediately found Senior Brother Rui Ming on the list and sent a message.

[Senior Brother, where are you?]

However, she still did not receive a reply from Rui Ming. Dong Xi immediately became anxious.

Dong Xi stood up and casually waved her hand, retrieving the spirit stones from the Spirit-Gathering Array and putting Songsong back into the Demon Beast Bag.

Then, he hurriedly ran out of the mansion.

The guards of the Shangguan Residence stopped Dong Xi. Dong Xi frowned and coldly said, “What are you doing?”

The guard did not dare to offend Dong Xi, but he could not let Dong Xi go out. The guard said, “Young Master, it was Lady Little Ya who said that you and Young Miss cannot go out.”

“Go and call Little Ya over,” Dong Xi said with a cold snort.

The guard nodded and immediately went to find Little Ya.

Dong Xi stood at the door. No matter how the guards tried to persuade her, Dong Xi refused to leave. She waited for Little Ya to walk over.

Little Ya did not let Dong Xi wait for too long and soon arrived at the door.

Little Ya was about to explain when Dong Xi said directly, “It’s good that you’re here. My brother is missing. Hurry up and send someone to look for him.”

Little Ya was stunned.

He was really not polite at all.

Seeing that Little Ya did not speak, Dong Xi shouted angrily, “What’s wrong? I can’t order you around? My brother Ming Zhi has gone missing. Hurry up and find him. If you can’t find him within three days, I’ll hold you accountable.”

After Dong Xi finished speaking, she turned around and left with an angry expression.

Little Ya looked at Dong Xi’s back as she left. A cold light flashed in her eyes. Little Ya said, “You really don’t think of yourself as an outsider anymore.”

“Miss, should we go and look for it?” The guard immediately asked.

Little Ya’s face was cold as she said meaningfully, “I’m looking for the Young Mater’s elder brother. He’s an honored guest of our Shangguan Residence.”

…

The news of Dong Xi and Little Ya’s conflict was soon passed to Shangguan Yun’er. As soon as Dong Xi entered the room, Shangguan Yun’er sized her up. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Husband, are you alright?”

Dong Xi placed her hands behind her back. When she saw Shangguan Yun’er, Dong Xi smiled.

“Don’t worry, Madam. I’m fine,” Dong Xi said.

Seeing that Dong Xi was fine, Shangguan Yun’er’s furrowed brows also relaxed. Shangguan Yun’er said, “It’s fine as long as you’re fine. I’m afraid that Little Ya will target you.”

When Dong Xi heard this, she smiled and said, “I’m the master, and Little Ya is the servant. How can a servant target the master? Madam, you don’t have to worry.”

Dong Xi noticed that Shangguan Yun’er’s expression was not right. Dong Xi continued, “Even if she’s against me, it doesn’t matter. I still have Madam to help me.”

Shangguan Yun’er’s expression changed. She said, “Husband, do you want to go out?”

Dong Xi nodded and frowned. She said helplessly, “My brother is missing, so I’m a little anxious.”

When Shangguan Yun’er heard this, the image of that silly youth suddenly appeared in her mind. Her heart also began to feel uneasy. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Who is it?”

Dong Xi said, “It’s Brother Ming Zhi. He went missing right after we left yesterday. Senior Brother Tie Nan searched for him for a whole night, but he still couldn’t find him. He had no choice but to contact me. We just arrived at the Void Sea, and Brother Ming Zhi’s cultivation isn’t high either. I’m afraid that he might encounter some danger outside.”

Shangguan Yun’er also became anxious when she heard this. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Let’s go. Let’s look for him together. Father is in seclusion. I don’t believe that Little Ya will dare to stop me.”

Seeing Shangguan Yun’er like this, Dong Xi immediately stopped Shangguan Yun’er. Dong Xi said, “Madamm, Little Ya has already agreed to send someone to look for her. Let’s not be anxious. There are many people in the residence that can help search for him. I think we will be able to find him very soon.”
