Hearing this, Yu Yao shook her head. She did not know either.
Now that her injuries had healed and the black eel who had captured her had been slain by Sou Shou, it was time for her to leave and search for her grandfather's whereabouts.
Perhaps the black eel had deceived her from the start. Her grandfather was in the Black Eel Clan, and in her innocence, she had gone there without thinking much of it. Otherwise, what had happened before would never have occurred.
But how had that black eel recognized both her and her grandfather? There had to be an unseen hand manipulating things from behind the scenes, and her grandfather's disappearance was surely connected to that Backstage Manipulator.
Thinking of this, Yu Yao suddenly felt pressed for time. She had to hurry back to the Five-Colored Feathered Fish Mansion and report her grandfather's disappearance to the Clan Elders for further plans.
As for the Azure Palace True Disciple examination, it would not begin again for another ten years after this round ended. She could return then.
"Sou Shou, thank you for taking care of me these past days. I should be going." After considering it for a while, Yu Yao looked up at Sou Shou.
"It's nothing! Just a small matter. But your grandfather's disappearance is far too strange. You must be careful," Sou Shou replied with a frown.
Yu Yao nodded. Thinking of something, she waved her hand and summoned a translucent jade pearl glowing with azure light, then handed it to Sou Shou.
"This is a Feather Pearl. It has healing properties, and it is also a pass for outsiders to enter the Five-Colored Feathered Fish Mansion. If you get the chance in the future, come find me there."
Sou Shou did not stand on
