<h4>Chapter 2647: Nowhere To Be Seen</h4>


    Xie Yutang’s forehead was drenched in sweat and he appeared exhausted. Guo Xinning, who walked beside him, gave him a puzzled look. After watching Feng Jiu walk leisurely, Guo Xinning couldn’t help but wonder. “Why not ask Feng Jiu to carry your sister? You are injured. You will be unable to continue walking with a heavy burden on your back.”


    “I’m not going to let another man carry my sister on his back. It’s improper.” Despite the sweat running down his back and his breathing in gasps, he didn’t slow down or consider asking Feng Jiu for help.


    He thought that his sister was a girl who would get married one day. Her reputation would be harmed if he allowed other men to casually carry her. He couldn’t let that happen as a big brother.


    Guo Xinning was taken aback by Xie Yutang’s remark, but thenughed. He didn’t say anything else, but his gaze grew more appreciative.


    Feng Jiu, who was walking beside them, simply smiled when she heard Xie Yutang’s words. While travelling with the Guo family’s team, she observed that the elderly and middle-aged men who led the expedition were very experienced.


    They were able to avoid mists that appeared in some areas and continue their journey.


    When they came across some ferocious beasts in the forest, as soon as the two men in front gave a signal, the young men in the rear would set up their battle formation and ready for battle.


    During the journey, she observed them avoiding two poisonous mists and killing three groups of about a dozen ferocious beasts with no casualties.


    While they were following the Guo family, a team sent by the Ruan family entered the forest from the teleportation array in search of Xie Shisi.


    But, finding them in such arge forest was easier said than done.


    The beautiful woman who had returned to Xie’s family sat dazed in the courtyard, her eyes slightly swollen from crying. When she heard a noise outside the courtyard, she looked quickly and saw that her husband had returned, so she stepped forward and asked, “How are things going? What did the Xie family have to say?”


    “The Xie family has dispatched a search team.” Xie Yan sighed, hugged her, and patted her on the shoulder gently. “Don’t worry.”


    “How could I not worry? Little Shi is just a girl. Even an adult would struggle to survive in that environment.” She sobbed as she covered her ears and threw herself into his arms. “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault.”


    “You have nothing to do with this. The third daughter of the Ruan family is to me. She has no regard for propriety!” He said it calmly, with a stern expression on his face. “If something is wrong with Little Shi, I will definitely demand an eye for an eye!”


    Following a bout of crying, the beautiful woman’s voice abruptly ceased and she stepped out of his embrace. “Where is our son, Little Jiu? Have they been found?”


    “Not yet.”


    Xie Yan shook his head. “It’s strange. The Xie family’s gatekeeper imed they did not leave, but they aren’t here either. The dark guard in the mansion didn’t sense their whereabouts. They, too, had no idea where they had gone.”


    The beautiful woman was taken aback when she heard this. “Do you think the two of them have also entered the Ruan family’s Earth Spirit Array?” She asked hesitantly.


    Without thinking, Xie Yan answered, “No, I don’t believe so. I’ve seen the Ruan family’s Earth Spirit Array. There is a Confining Spirit Array in the courtyard area which when one enters, a Mechanism Array isid out. How could outsiders know how to open that Mechanism Array?”
