Above the barren desert.
Two Escaping Lights sped forward, their occupants talking as they flew...
"Junior Brother Zhang, we've flown so far. Are you sure we haven't gone the wrong way? We've already left Golden Soil."
"There's no mistake. My feeling is right."
"Well... your feeling couldn't be wrong, could it?"
"It could be wrong!"
"Wait! What exactly are you following?"
As they spoke, one of the two Escaping Lights abruptly stopped.
Han Yuwan stopped and frowned at Zhang Qingshan, who was still flying ahead. "Junior Brother Zhang! Wait a moment. How exactly are you determining which direction Junior Brother Ye went?"
Indeed, she had been putting up with this the whole way. Zhang Qingshan's claim that her relationship with Ye Han was not as close as his had only made her scoff.
But they had flown all this way, leaving Golden Soil and reaching the barren desert, without finding any trace of Ye Han. Yet Zhang Qingshan remained utterly certain of Ye Han's direction, flying straight ahead without so much as a second thought...
This made Han Yuwan suspicious. She had even practiced dual cultivation with Ye Han. If she drew close enough, she could sense his location.
Yet after flying for so long, she still could not sense Ye Han's location at all.
And Zhang Qingshan could?
Was he lying to her? Could he really sense Ye Han? Or had Ye Han given him some artifact for keeping in touch?
Pah! Could my relationship with Ye Han really be less close than Zhang Qingshan's?
Oh! What am I even thinking?
Hearing Han Yuwan's doubts, Zhang Qingshan also stopped up ahead, then traced an arc through the air and flew back toward her.
Seeing Han Yuwan's displeased expression, Zhang Qingshan replied, "Senior Sister Han! I'm not lying to you!
