Chu Tiange was currently running around like a headless chicken.
He was determined to find Ye Xiaozhu, but how could he possibly find her? With no leads whatsoever, he could only start by asking around his home village. But what did the villagers know? All they knew was that not long after he joined the Cloudreach Sect, Ye Xiaozhu's family had passed away one after another, and she had gone out to find a master too. Heaven knew where she had ended up. A young girl traveling alone might have died in some remote mountain forest without anyone even knowing.
For a moment, Chu Tiange regretted falling out with the "Heavenly Dao."
No matter how Chu Ge had ignored Ye Xiaozhu later, she had at least been intended as one of the female leads in the initial setup. There had to have been some plan for her life, such as which sect she joined. That surely existed in the original outline. Even if it had changed later, the original setup was still a lead he could ask about first.
Now the Heavenly Dao was cut off and unreachable, and even Sect Master Qiu was crying with anxiety. Where else could he find clues to Ye Xiaozhu's whereabouts?
What he did not know was that asking Chu Ge about the original setup would have been useless too. In Chu Ge's original plan, Ye Xiaozhu had been adopted by Yan Qianlie and had a love-hate relationship with the Cloudreach Sect. But that setup had been abandoned ages ago-Yan Qianlie had so much involvement in the plot, while Ye Xiaozhu's role needed to be reduced. Clearly, she could not stay with him.
If he actually went to ask Yan Qianlie, what the hell would Yan Qianlie know... Never mind Yan Qianlie-even Chu Ge
