439 Finding a Clue
‘It’s really f * cking big…’
Looking at Huangping County on the map of the Qi Kingdom, Jiang Beiran made a rough estimate of its size. It was roughly the size of the three major counties of the Sheng Kingdom combined. It was ridiculously large, and looking for someone there was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Just as Jiang Beiran was deep in thought, Little Seven suddenly spoke up,””Big Brother Wang, I have some understanding of Huangping County. There aren’t many towns that have rouge shops and cosmetic shops.”
“Oh?” Jiang Beiran glanced at Little Seven and placed the map of Huangping County in front of him.””Do you know where there are some?”
Bending down, Little Seven pointed to a city on the map with the two words ‘Feng Shuang’ written on it,””As far as I know, the most famous rouge shops in Huangping County are Xie Fuchun, He Xiang Lou, and Kong Fengchun. The lead powder that Miss Lin mentioned just now is the most famous, and He Xiang Lou is in Feng Shuang City.”
“Hmm, you do have some ability.”
Seeing how Little Seven had managed to narrow down her target from a county to a city in such a short period of time, Jiang Beiran still praised her for being like a living map, even though she might not be right.
Hearing the praise, Little Seven waved her hands and said,””Thank you for your praise, Big Brother Wang. I was just guessing.”
Jiang Beiran fixed his gaze on the screen and tapped his fingers on the screen twice before asking Lin Yuyan,””Do you know where your aunt has been?”
“Yes… My aunt’s whereabouts are unpredictable, and I can only point out a part of it.”
Lin Yuyan pointed at the map of the Qi Country.
“Baofan Waterfall next to Xuzhang Town, Yang ‘an Cave in Yuning Ning County, Xing’ an Cave in Qiutan County…”
Jiang Beiran would mark a place on the map for every name Lin Yuyan mentioned. By the time Lin Yuyan finished speaking, there were already 12 marked places on the map.
“That’s all. I really can’t remember the rest.”
Raising his brush, Jiang Beiran looked at Little Seven and said,””How is it? Any leads?”
Without any hesitation, Seven answered,””Seven of the twelve places that Miss Lin mentioned have one thing in common.”
Seven pointed out the seven places on the map.
After Lin Yuyan finished reading, she couldn’t help but say in surprise,”Aunty went to these seven places alone. She took me to the other places.”
“What do they have in common?”Jiang Beiran asked, feeling that the answer was about to surface.
“These seven places all have legends of mystic realms.”
“So that’s how it is…” Jiang Beiran nodded.
With that said, many things became clear. Lin Shiyun couldn’t stand the boring cultivation, so she chose to go around trying to find a blessed land, hoping to trigger an opportunity or something to directly soar to the sky.
Nodding in satisfaction, Jiang Beiran turned to Little Seven and said,””To think that you even know this.”
“Hehe.” Little Seven scratched her head in embarrassment,” I’m not afraid that Brother Wang will laugh at me. I once had this kind of daydream of entering the secret realm and soaring into the sky, so I know a lot about this.””
Smiling, Jiang Beiran continued to look at the map and said,”” Alright, then we have two clues now. Your aunt left alone this time and most likely went to look for the mystic realm again. The location of this mystic realm is most likely around Feng Shuang City. Even if it’s not here, it should be in the vicinity of Huang Ping County.”
He looked back at Little Seven and asked,””How much do you know about the rumors about the secret realm in Huang Ping County?”
” Quite a few. One of them is right next to Feng Shuang City. It’s rumored that there’s a Five Mile Ravine there that once shone with seven-colored light at night, attracting countless birds to circle it. It lasted for four hours before disappearing, so it’s rumored that there must be something special about this place.”
Jiang Beiran picked up his pen.”
Seven pointed at the empty space northwest of Feng Shuang City and said,””This is it.”
Jiang Beiran drew a circle in the direction Little Seven pointed and wrote the words ” Five Mile Ravine ” on it.”Alright, then you guys go and investigate this place first.”
Then, he marked the other places in Huang Ping County that had rumors of secret realms. Jiang Beiran handed the map to Lin Yuyan and said,””Hurry up and set off. We’ve already wasted a lot of time.”
After taking the map, Lin Yuyan looked at her senior brother with some reluctance. However, she thought of the important matter and nodded.”Yes, senior brother.”
Patting Little Seven on the shoulder, Jiang Beiran looked at him and said,””With your ability, you should do something big. After this matter is completed, I will make proper arrangements for you.”
“Thank you, Brother Wang!” Little Seven was so excited that she kowtowed.
“Go ahead.” With a wave of his hand, Jiang Beiran sent the two of them out of the Gaine Formation he had set up in the cave.
Sitting back on the stone bench, Jiang Beiran threw a piece of dry wood into the fire.
Listening to the crackling sounds, Jiang Beiran thought of a few possible scenarios.
The best part was that Lin Shiyun had found a secret realm. She had disappeared for such a long time because she had entered it.
However, Jiang Beiran felt that it was almost impossible. If it was really that simple, the system would not have asked him to help Lin Yuyan.
“There’s a high chance that he’s still in trouble…”
While Jiang Beiran was sighing, the two men who had been sent out of the cave were walking out of the dense forest.
Feeling the peerless beauty beside her exuding waves of murderous aura, even if this resentment wasn’t directed at her, Little Seven still felt her back was covered in cold sweat, her body was hot and cold.
