"...Then we'll wait a day." Miao Qingjie gritted his teeth and slowly nodded.
Leng Tieya pretended not to notice his wavering uncertainty.
Hu Yunni said, "Only within one li?"
Leng Tieya said, "If it's farther away, I may not be able to sense it. It's too faint."
Hu Yunni closed her bright eyes.
She focused her senses on the surroundings.
With her keen perception, every tiny change within one li was clear to her.
The breeze brushing the leaves, insects stirring the grass, fallen flowers dropping into wet mud.
Nothing escaped her notice.
Yet none of it gave her any strange feeling. She found no remains.
There were no bones buried underground, nor the hand they had mentioned.
She opened her bright eyes and looked at Leng Tieya, still only half-convinced.
She still refused to believe Leng Tieya could sense something that she herself could not.
Miao Qingjie said, "Mr. Sun, should we move farther away from here?"
Leng Tieya said, "Let's stay here and keep watch. Don't move around recklessly."
"Fine." Miao Qingjie nodded hurriedly.
Hu Yunni said, "You two stay here. I'll take a stroll around the city."
"Junior Sister Hu..." Miao Qingjie revealed a pleading expression.
If those remains suddenly rose up and fled, his qinggong would not be enough to catch up. He would have to rely on Hu Yunni.
Seeing him like this, Hu Yunni snorted helplessly. "Fine, fine. I'll keep watch too."
Miao Qingjie immediately beamed. "Thank you, Junior Sister Hu!"
Hu Yunni waved her jade-like hand and surveyed the mighty river, admiring its grandeur.
Miao Qingjie chatted idly with Leng Tieya, telling him strange tales and curious incidents from his travels across the world.
Several times, he mentioned the evil deeds committed by Ghost Bone Sect disciples, expressing deep loathing for them.
