Chapter 460 The Child Ran Away
"Grandma, Bai Cang and Xiao Jinzi took Chen'er out to play and haven't come back yet?" Xie Yunqing and Lu An came hurriedly.
They smelled the fragrance of the holy lotus and wanted to go to the hot spring pool to practice, but they were worried about their nephew who had not returned yet.
"Not yet. Grandma just needs to wait for them here. You should practice while the holy lotus is in full bloom!" Xie Wanying did not tell them that Xiao Yuchen had sneaked out, for fear that they would go out looking for him if they knew.
"Then let's go!" Xie Yunqing also felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he went to practice with Lu An.
Less than an hour after the Holy Lotus bloomed, some of those who were in seclusion began to make breakthroughs.
Xie Wanying looked at the voice stone in her hand. Bai Cang and Xiao Jinzi had not sent her any message. She was worried that something might have happened to the child. Her mind flashed out of the space and she decided to go out of the cave to look for him.
If one of Zhongli Xiao, Beitang Yuan, or Xie Jinglan breaks through, it will attract thunder from the sky, and the child will be separated from the mountain.
When I arrived at the entrance of the cave, I saw that the sky outside was covered with dark clouds and flashes of lightning were flashing through the clouds.
She first used her spiritual sense to investigate the situation outside, but suddenly her expression changed. She quickly withdrew her spiritual sense and flashed back into the space.
The next second, a person appeared where she had just stood. It was a man in a black robe, looking around the cave with sharp eyes.
"So you are hiding in this cave. Let's see how you can escape this time." The man in black robe looked sinister when he saw the messy footprints on the ground in the cave.
The man spread his spiritual sense throughout the cave, but found nothing.
"Strange, there was clearly someone's presence just now."
"Boom~~"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the entrance of the cave, with dazzling light and deafening thunder.
The man's face was gloomy. There was a sudden strange phenomenon in the sky. Someone must have broken through in this cave.
He had followed that person's scent here, but there was no one in the cave? This meant that person had just escaped.
"Boom~~" Another bolt of thunder struck outside the cave, splitting rocks and causing them to roll everywhere.
The man was so frightened that he didn't bother to look for anyone and just left.
Xie Wanying returned to her space, secretly annoyed that she had not taken good care of the child.
She just went to wash clothes for the child, and when she came out the child was gone. Seeing that Bai Cang was not there either, she thought he had followed her out and did not pay much attention. It was only when he came back alone that she realized the child was missing.
Now someone is watching outside. She was chased into the cave before she even left. She was worried that they might be captured by those people!
Otherwise, regardless of whether the child was found or not, Bai Cang and Xiao Jinzi would use the sound transmission stone to send a message to her.
Thinking of this, she wanted to die.
Hearing the strange phenomenon outside, the three of them who were in the Mahayana realm must have been making a breakthrough.
If Lan'er and Yuan'er come out and find that the child is missing, how will she explain to them?
She had promised them that she would take good care of the child, but...
"Rumble--"
The thunder outside was getting louder and louder, making Xie Wanying even more uneasy.
She knelt there, clasped her hands together and prayed to God to keep her child safe.
Twelve hours passed, and the thunder outside gradually stopped.
Xie Yunqing and Lu An came back first. When they saw Xie Wanying, they said happily, "Grandma, Lu An and I have both achieved breakthroughs! I'm in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and he's in the ninth level of Qi Refining."
Xie Wanying calmed down the emotions on her face and turned around. "Really? They're all very good."
At this moment, Xie Yunqing realized that his grandmother's eyes were red, as if she had been crying. He suddenly felt uneasy, "Grandma, did something happen to Chen'er?"
Just as Xie Wanying was about to speak, she heard Xie Jinglan's voice, "Grandma, we're all out!"
The three of them turned around and saw that all the people who had been in seclusion had come out and were walking towards them, talking and laughing.
"Master, I believe you will be able to break through next time." Xie Jinglan said, holding Zhong Lixiao's hand.
This time, everyone except the master made a breakthrough.
She and Beitang Yuan both broke through to the late Mahayana stage, her grandfather reached the middle stage of the Refinement Realm, and Zhu Yichen also broke through to the Refinement Realm.
Xie Yunqing ran over and said, "Sister, Chen'er is missing!"
He cried out, "Chen'er is gone!" and the laughter and chattering stopped at once.
"Qing'er, what happened? Why is Chen'er missing?" Zong Zhengyi asked first.
Xie Jinglan saw her grandmother's eyes were red, and her heart sank, "Grandma, what happened to Chen'er?"
"It's all my fault that I didn't have high hopes for him." Xie Wanying felt very guilty.
Everyone's faces changed, and their joy at the breakthrough instantly disappeared.
Seeing her emotional, Zong Zhengyi came over to support her, "Wanying, what exactly happened? Tell me slowly."
Beitang Yuan's spiritual sense searched the space, but did not find Bai Cang and Xiao Jinzi, and he became uneasy.
"Three days ago, Chen'er's clothes got wet, so he asked me to wash them for him. When I came out after washing the clothes, he was no longer in the space.
I thought Bai Cang took him out, so I didn't go out to look for him. Half an hour later, Bai Cang came back by himself, and then I realized that the child had run away by himself.
Then Bai Cang and Xiao Jinzi went out to look for him, but neither of them has returned yet, not even a single word has been sent back." Xie Wanying told them what had happened.
Xie Jinglan took out a piece of white jade from her body. Seeing that the jade piece was fine, her expression relaxed slightly. "The child is fine, grandma, you don't have to worry."
This is her son's soul jade, which she made using her son's soul power. She always carries it with her in case she loses sight of him one day, she can use this soul jade to find him.
And the soul jade is fine, which means my son is fine.
"Lan'er, is this the child's soul jade?" Zong Zhengyi asked.
"Yes, grandpa." Xie Jinglan nodded.
When they heard that it was the child's soul jade, everyone felt relieved.
"Although the child is fine, he has been out for three days and has not returned. It is very likely that he has encountered some trouble? Otherwise, Bai Cang and Xiao Jinzi would not have failed to send back a message." Zhong Lixiao said.
"The Xuantian Mirror and the spiritual ginseng were also taken away by your son!" Bing Ao's voice came.
Hearing this, Xie Jinglan hurriedly looked for the magic mirror and the spiritual ginseng, but they were indeed gone. However, the Hunyuan Divine Sword was still there.
"This child is so naughty when he is only one year old?" Xie Jinglan had a headache.
My son is only one year and eight months old, but he dared to steal things and run away. What will happen to him when he grows up?
"You don't know, Chen'er could walk when he was only four months old. He ran so fast sometimes that I couldn't catch up with him. He stayed in the space all day long, and he almost destroyed all the fruit trees on the mountain.
There's nothing we can do about it, so Bai Cang and Xiao Jinzi only occasionally take him out of the space to play, but once he's out, he doesn't want to come back." Xie Wanying said.
"It's okay, we'll go out and find him now." Beitang Yuan looked at everyone and said, "From now on, we'll leave this cave."
His son doesn't want to stay in the space, so he won't stay there anymore. He can go wherever he wants!
