‘Since we can’t find it after searching here for so long, why don’t we go to Tiger City to take a look?’

Just as Gu Ying was in a battle of wits.

On the other side, Li Yang touched Little White’s head and thought awhile. In the end, he made a decision.

He wasn’t familiar with the Lost Forest, so he might as well go to Tiger City and see if there was any news about the thousand-year-old ginseng.

Thinking of this, Li Yang patted Little White and turned to walk away.

“Are you feeling better?”

Li Yang asked as he walked to Gu Ying.

“Many thanks for Senior’s concern; this little girl is fine. That thief just now didn’t hurt me.”

Gu Ying quickly said when she saw Li Yang.

“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll leave.”

Li Yang nodded and turned around to signal Little White to follow him.

“Senior, are you leaving?”

Seeing that Li Yang was about to leave with Little White, Gu Ying couldn’t care less and asked carefully.

“That’s right; I’m going to Tiger City.”

Li Yang didn’t hide his purpose.

“That’s great, Senior. I was just about to go to Tiger Roar City, so why don’t I lead the way for you?”

Gu Ying laughed when she heard Li Yang’s destination.

“Alright,” Li Yang agreed.

“However,”

At this moment, Gu Ying’s expression changed.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with the Tiger City?”

Li Yang took two steps and heard no movement behind him. He turned around and found Gu Ying still standing in the same place, frowning as if she was thinking about something.

“It’s like this, Senior, after all. Tiger City is under the jurisdiction of the Tiger Roar Sect. It’s not a big problem for cultivators to enter, but your … Pet is eye-catching.

If this continues, I’m afraid it will cause … A sensation.”

Gu Ying wanted to say that the mortals in the city would panic, but when she thought of Li Yang’s cultivation base, she felt that Li Yang might not understand why other people would be afraid of such a gentle ‘pet,’ so she quickly changed her words.

“Like this?”

Li Yang sized up the innocent-looking Little White and nodded subconsciously.

Just as Gu Ying had said, a terrifying demonic beast like Little White would make the disciples in Nine Planet Sect exclaim in admiration.

If he brought Little White into Tiger Roar City …

The people in the city would probably be scared out of their wits. If they attracted the people of the Tiger Roar Sect, it would be a small matter to leave, but it would be troublesome if it affected his plan to find the thousand-year-old ginseng.

“Little White, can you hear me looking for you from here?”

However, Li Yang also had to consider his safety. Hence, he asked Little White.

When Little White heard Li Yang’s words, it raised a paw and touched its ear, nodding proudly.

“Okay, in that case, you can play here first. I’ll come back to find you when I’m done.”

Only then did Li Yang relax. Gu Ying also quickly followed Li Yang.

The two of them walked side by side toward Tiger City.

Little White watched Li Yang’s figure leave the Lost Forest before it hid in the Forest to play.

“Senior, may I know where you are from? Did you come to this Lost Forest to look for something?”

The lost Forest covered a large area, but if one knew the way, there was no need to detour too long.

Not long after, Li Yang and Gu Ying walked out of the Forest.

Gu Ying squinted her eyes to get used to the intense sunlight outside, then asked Li Yang.

On the way out of the lost Forest, Gu Ying noticed that Li Yang had been absent-minded as if he was observing something.

“I’m from the Nine Planet Sect and here to look for something.”

Li Yang looked into the distance. At the end of the road, he could see some buildings. After looking at the scenery, Li Yang looked at Gu Ying. “I found it strange just now. You don’t have to call me senior. After all, it was Little White who saved you.

My surname is Li; you can call me Li Yang.”

“Uh, I’m a little girl … Very well, fellow Daoist Li.”

Gu Ying was stunned for a moment. She wanted to reject him subconsciously, but she noticed that Li Yang was already looking in another direction, so she quickly swallowed her words.

“Nine Planet Sect? Even if it’s a big sect like the Nine Planet Sect, there should only be a few people who can suppress that demonic beast, right?

Senior, could it be that you are the legendary old monster hidden in the depths of the sect and would not come out unless the sect is in a life-and-death crisis?

However, Senior’s personality is outstanding. Even after saving me, you don’t take pride in your achievements. Instead, you treat me as if you’re ordinary.

This is a true otherworldly expert. Although we encountered some danger in the Lost Forest this time, getting to know someone like Senior is not a wasted trip!”

She looked at Li Yang’s handsome side profile.

Gu Ying looked at Li Yang for a long time, but she couldn’t see any signs of aging on his face.

However, this scene made Gu Ying even more convinced that the person standing before her must have reached a high level of cultivation and could maintain his appearance forever.

Gu Ying was even more determined to build a good relationship with Li Yang.

“Sigh, it’s strange. I received news that there’s a thousand-year-old ginseng in this Forest, but I don’t know why I haven’t found a single leaf since I came here.

It seems like I can only go to Tiger Roar City and search for it before making any plans.”

On the other side, Li Yang, who didn’t know that he had been regarded as an old monster by default, sighed after searching for a while.

“Fellow Daoist Li, are you here to look for the thousand-year-old ginseng? Then your news is indeed a little outdated.”

Hearing Li Yang’s words, Gu Ying laughed. “Lost Forest indeed didn’t have an owner in the past, but the pavilion of treasures has been preparing for an auction recently.

I’ve specially hired many people to scour the Lost Forest.”

Right now, in this Lost Forest, not to mention the thousand-year ginseng, even the ordinary medicinal herbs have been taken away by the medicinal stores in the city. At this time, nothing is left in the Lost Forest.”

“Treasure Pavilion? It seems I’m a step too late.”

After hearing the news, Li Yang calmed down.

Since the pavilion of treasures had already ‘monopolized’ all the resources in the Lost Forest, he only needed to go to the pavilion of treasures.

At least it was better than aimlessly searching in the Lost Forest.

“Speaking of thousand-year-old ginseng, I heard that Pavilion of Treasures dug up a thousand-year-old ginseng in the Lost Forest when I was in Tiger Roar City.

It should be sent to the auction as well.”

Gu Ying suddenly thought of something and quickly explained it to Li Yang.

“The auction.”

To Gu Ying’s surprise, she heard that the thousand-year-old ginseng was being auctioned.

However, Li Yang’s brows were tightly furrowed.
