He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 733 Xiaoli prepares to find He Yuzhu

Xiaoli was unhappy, and her emotions were clearly written on her face. She looked straight at her mother, and said with a hint of urgency and determination in her tone, "Mom, I plan to go find He Yuzhu. What do you think?"

Xiaoli's mother naturally understood her daughter's thoughts very well. She sighed slightly, her eyes filled with worry and helplessness, but she still looked at Xiaoli patiently and said slowly, "My child, although He Yuzhu is indeed a cultivator, you must understand that he is human and you are a demon. The difference between the two is no small matter. You must consider it carefully."

A trace of confusion and helplessness flashed across Xiaoli's eyes. She frowned and looked at her mother with a trembling voice as she said, "Mom, my heart is in turmoil right now. I really don't know what to do. My feelings for He Yuzhu make me want to go find him, but what you said makes me so conflicted."

Xiaoli's mother gently stroked her little li's head, her eyes filled with love and reluctance. She said, "Xiaoli, if you've really decided, then go ahead. But don't come back anytime soon. We, the demon tribe, are planning to move deep into the mountains. We don't know what dangers might arise on this trip. It might be safer for you to stay outside with He Yuzhu."

When Xiaoli heard this, she quickly grabbed her mother's hand, her eyes full of anticipation, and said, "Mom, why don't you come with me? That way, we can take care of each other."

Xiaoli's mother shook her head helplessly, a complicated look in her eyes. She said, "I'm different from you, child. There are some things you don't need to understand right now. Just remember, no matter what, you must keep yourself safe. This is my only hope for you."

Xiaoli opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that no words could express her feelings at the moment. In the end, she just said, "Mom, I believe He Yuzhu will definitely save you. He is so powerful, there must be a way."

Xiaoli's mother remained silent, merely watching her, a faint trace of sadness flickering in her eyes. Deep down, she didn't believe He Yuzhu could be of any help. After all, when the demons returned, a fierce battle for territory was inevitable, a fact almost certain to unfold, and it wasn't something a human could easily influence.

Xiaoli's family, in this volatile world, appears somewhat weak. To survive and thrive, the struggle for territory has become imperative, inevitably leading to brutal wars. Furthermore, the pursuit of power, fueled by unnecessary, profit-driven alliances, casts a shadow over the family. In such a complex and dangerous environment, it's clearly unwise for Xiaoli to remain with the family.

When Xiaoli heard this decision, she was filled with displeasure, her adorable face furrowed in a frown. However, she was still worried about He Yuzhu. In her heart, He Yuzhu was like a beacon in the darkness, providing her with warmth and support.

After much hesitation, she finally sighed, quietly packed a few simple clothes, and resolutely embarked on a journey to find He Yuzhu. At this moment, she had no idea where He Yuzhu was. What awaited her ahead was endless unknowns and confusion, but her eyes revealed a firm belief: she would find He Yuzhu no matter what.

Elsewhere, He Yuzhu and Elder Qingyi were hurrying along. Feeling uneasy, He Yuzhu couldn't help but glance at Elder Qingyi and ask, "Elder Qingyi, we're about to reach the Menghu Sect. What do you think they'll do to us when they learn of our arrival?" A hint of worry lingered in his eyes. After all, this trip to the Menghu Sect was uncertain.

Elder Qingyi also looked troubled and shook his head slightly. In fact, he himself had no idea. The current situation of the Tiger Sect was complicated. The former Sect Master was nowhere to be found, and the entire sect was in chaos. After a moment's thought, Elder Qingyi looked at He Yuzhu and said slowly, "Sect Master, at this point, we can only tell them the truth. I hope they will understand the situation and not act rashly." He Yuzhu nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and the group continued on their way towards the Tiger Sect.

The Tiger Sect was in a state of panic. The only person who could manage this chaotic situation was inner disciple Qiu Guo, Qiu Feng's biological son. Qiu Guo was terrified, like an ant on a hot pan. He had previously sent a large number of men to search for the Sect Leader, but they had all returned bewildered, having brought back no useful clues.

Just as Qiu Guo was getting desperate, a disciple rushed in, shouting in panic, "Brother Qiu, something terrible has happened!" Qiu Guo turned his head sharply, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Has there been any news from the Sect Master?"

The disciple shook his head helplessly, his face filled with worry. He said, "Brother, this is bad! The disciples we sent out to look for the Sect Master have returned. They say they've found the place where the Sect Master went, but... but there's no one there. It's completely empty, as if no one has ever been there. What do you think we should do?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Guo felt as if he had been struck by lightning. After all, those dispatched this time were the sect's top fighters! If they met with an unforeseen event and didn't return, what place would the Fierce Tiger Sect have in this world of experts? Would it even be necessary to exist? Thinking of this, Qiu Guo felt dizzy, his legs weakened, and he almost lost his balance.

Just when Qiu Guo was at a loss and didn't know what to do, another disciple hurried in and said loudly: "Senior brother, there are some people outside. They claim to be bringing the sect leader back." When Qiu Guo heard this, he was overjoyed and ran out the door without caring about anything else.

Qiu Guo ran out the door and saw He Yuzhu and the others. He eagerly cast his eyes behind He Yuzhu and the others, but found nothing except a lonely coffin. Qiu Guo's heart tightened, and he looked at He Yuzhu anxiously and asked, "Master He, what...what's going on?"

He Yuzhu had expected Elder Qingyi to come forward and explain. After all, he was experienced and should be able to handle such a situation with ease. But at this moment, Elder Qingyi was also overwhelmed by the tense atmosphere. He opened his mouth but could not say anything. He could only stand aside silently.
