Two days later, while Shen Shiqi and his group were still combing the city for Yue'er, she had already arrived at the foot of Yunxiao Mountain. A joyful smile spread across her small face as she gazed at the familiar surroundings. With light steps, she darted towards the mountain like a playful bird.
Yunxiao Mountain was completely inaccessible to outsiders. Not only were there intricate formations within the mountains, but the entire area belonging to Yunxiao Mountain was enveloped by a powerful barrier. Outsiders were only aware of its general location but could never pinpoint its exact whereabouts.
"Hehe, am I the first one back?" Yue'er mused aloud as she walked. The thought of being the first to return filled her with cheerful anticipation.
"Little sister."
Just then, a voice came from behind her. She froze, then looked up to see her brother, Muchen, emerging from a forest path. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Brother? What are you doing here?"
