The next morning.

After Huo Chen got out of bed, he took the initiative to look for Ah Ping.

“Mr. Huo, let’s go to the peach blossom valley today. The weather is perfect,” Ah Ping said with a smile.

“No thanks. Those two girls insisted on going to the mountains for some sightseeing today,” Huo Chen said in a helpless and doting tone.

“The mountains?” Ah Ping frowned. He wasn’t smart enough to realize that they had already seen through his fib about the mountain. He couldn’t understand why these people suddenly wanted to go to the mountains.

“Yes, the mountains. Mr. Ping, you have a wife. You know that women are fickle, they like to change their minds at the last minute. We came along to accompany those two girls, so we will just go along with them. We’re going to the mountains,” Huo Chen said with a smile.

Ah Ping grinned when he heard that. “The people in your city do love your women. The women in our village are not so spoiled. They obey us men.”

Huo Chen looked at him meaningfully. “Actually, the person who will accompany you for the rest of your life is your wife. You should treat her better.”

Ah Ping nodded absent-mindedly. “I will accompany you into the mountain later.”

Huo Chen shook his head again. “Those two girls said that they don’t want you to follow them. You shouldn’t have offended them last time.”

Hearing Huo Chen’s words, Ah Ping remembered that Chi Jiao and Pei Yao had seen him reprimanding Little Xiu.

“I didn’t mean to upset them,” Ah Ping said, scratching the back of his head. “They’re that angry? I didn’t take that matter to heart at all.”

Those women were so petty.

“I went to Mount Wu with my friends before, so we will be fine on our own. We’ll make it back before dark.” Huo Chen assured him with a smile.

Ah Ping did not suspect him and nodded. “You must make it back before dark. It won’t be safe in the mountains at night.”

“Okay.” Huo Chen bid him farewell and strode away.

After breakfast, the five of them prepared sufficient water and food supplies, before heading towards Mount Wu.

However, when they arrived at the foot of Mount Wu, they didn’t know how to start their search.

“I think the villagers didn’t object to us coming to the mountain as they believed that we wouldn’t be able to find the temple. It must be hidden in a very secretive place.” Huo Chen analyzed.

“We have no choice but to explore the place and look for it. At the most, we’ll just have to spend a few days searching. Anyway, the temple must be on the mountain. Those villagers can’t possibly hide an entire temple.” Beitang Lie reasoned.

Chi Jiao stood at the foot of the mountain. She raised her hand and grabbed her chest, feeling her heart beating faster and faster.

She could clearly sense that something was urging her to go up the mountain. It seemed to be an inexplicable attraction that made her anxious.

“Jiaojiao, what’s wrong?” Quan Jue noticed something amiss with her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

“Brother Quan, I feel like there’s something on this mountain urging me to go up.” Chi Jiao held his hand tightly.

Chi Jiao had never encountered anything like this before. She felt uneasy.

“Is it because your mental power is too sensitive and you can sense the Evil Deity?” Quan Jue asked softly as he hugged her tightly.
