When Yunxi stood before the empty Inquiry Pavilion, the corner of her mouth twitched. Left with no choice, she summoned Little Cicada.
Little Cicada happily fluttered its cicada wings and greeted its temporary mistress. Yunxi narrowed her eyes and said:
"Little Cicada, contact your mistress and see where she has wandered off to now. When did she leave Miaojing Immortal City? I need to find her about something."
Little Cicada rubbed its two slender forelegs together. The wings on its back vibrated at high speed, but it did not fly away. Instead, it relayed Yunxi's words to its mistress, Chanjia, and then waited for her reply.

Yunxi and Menglan Jun exchanged a glance. It was clear that Miaoxu City Lord intended to meet them no matter what.

"Since the City Lord has extended such a gracious invitation, we will follow our host's arrangements. Lead the way."
The steward's expression visibly relaxed. He respectfully said:
"This way, please. There is an immortal beast carriage at the mouth of the alley."
Following his directions, Yunxi and Menglan Jun boarded a jeweled carriage drawn by four winged qilin horses
