Xu Xuan showed a warm smile on her face when she was greeted by the Silver Phantoms. "I'm back," she said in a soothing voice.
Unlike the petite Silver Phantoms, Xu Xuan stood tall and slender, her presence both commanding and delicate. Her hair, a cascade of pure white, mirrored untouched snow, while her silver eyes, luminous as the moon, shimred with a depth of ancient wisdom.
"Senior Sister Xuan, I'm so glad you've returned to us so soon. There's an urgent matter that demands your attention imdiately." One of the Silver Phantoms conveyed this ssage to her using spiritual sense.
Xu Xuan nodded at them before turning to look at the guests in line.
"The Autumn Phantom Manor will temporarily stop receiving guests."
Her calm voice rippled throughout the entire world, ensuring that everyone in that world heard her.
Despite the unexpected news, a profound silence hung over the line; no one dared voice a complaint, and they rely acknowledged her in silence. Xu Xuan refrained from revealing how long the Autumn Phantom Manor would remain closed, yet no one questioned her decision. Remarkably, not a single person left the line.
Xu Xuan entered the Autumn Phantom Manor shortly after, with the Silver Phantoms following behind her like a group of obedient children.
Once she returned to her personal room and sat down, Xu Xuan inquired in a serious tone, "So, what happened while I was away? I've never seen any of you so anxious before."
"Senior Sister Xuan, you probably will have a hard ti believing this, but we t another Phantom Cat!"
"What?" Xu Xuan imdiately frowned at this news and even stood up.
"Where and when did you et this Phantom Cat?!"
To the Silver Phantom's surprise, Xu Xuan accepted their information without hesitation and imdiately sought more details, as if she had always known that another Phantom Cat existed alongside her.
"She visited the Autumn Phantom Manor a week ago. Her na was Xiao Rong, and she resembled us so closely that we initially mistook her for a Ghost Cat until she revealed her aura."
"Xiao Rong?" Xu Xuan wore a puzzled look on her face after learning this unfamiliar na.
"Tell your conversation with her, and do not miss out on a single detail!" Xu Xuan said a mont later.
The Silver Phantoms recalled their conversation with Xiao Rong.
"Amnesia, huh? It would make sense if that were the case…" Xu Xuan muttered to herself.
"Why did you let her leave this place? You should know how important her existence is to us! And why didn't you imdiately contact ?! You have my communication jade slip!" Xu Xuan inquired with a displeased expression.
"W-we tried to contact you, but you didn't answer!"
"We also tried to make her stay, but she vehently refused!" "She's also committed to a Blood Contract with the human who ca with her! We couldn't separate them even if we wanted to!"
"What did you just say…?" Xu Xuan suddenly muttered in a cold voice, followed by imnse killing intent that caused the entire manor to tremble.
When they sensed her killing intent, all of the Silver Phantoms cowered together and lowered their heads, their small bodies trembling from fear. "S-she didn't co alone but with this mortal human! And she ford a Blood Contract with him!"
"W-we placed a tracker on them, so we can find them no matter where they are in the Four Divine Heavens!"
"Where are they right now?!" Xu Xuan hastily inquired.
One of the Silver Phantoms pulled out a treasure and said, "According to the tracker, they are currently in Martial Heaven."
After a mont of pause, she continued, "The Boundless Yin Yang Sect! That's their current location!"
"Boundless Yin Yang Sect…?" Xu Xuan raised an eyebrow at this information, but she didn't think further and imdiately prepared to head to the Boundless Yin Yang Sect.
However, as she took a step away from her chair, one of the Silver Phantoms continued, "There's sothing you should be aware of about this mortal, Senior Sister Xuan. He had our family dallion with him."
Xu Xuan's entire being froze the mont she heard this information. Like a wooden puppet, she slowly turned her head to face the Silver Phantom who had just spoken, and in a voice as stiff as her movents, she demanded, "S-say that again?"
"This mortal had our family dallion and claid to be your friend. We nearly killed him for his insolence."
The Silver Phantom with the dallion showed it off.
The instant she saw the dallion, Xu Xuan disappeared from her spot like a ghost and appeared before the Silver Phantom, snatching the dallion faster than anyone there could blink.
Once the dallion was in her possession, Xu Xuan inspected it with trembling hands. The Silver Phantoms swallowed nervously, knowing that Xu Xuan, who wouldn't flinch when handling the most precious treasures in the Four Divine Heavens, could barely keep this dallion in her grasp with all the shaking.
Thud!
Xu Xuan suddenly collapsed onto her buttocks.
"S-Senior Sister Xuan?!"
"Are you okay?!"
"What's the matter?!"
The Silver Phantoms were startled by her sudden fall, even though she didn't make any movent the entire ti.
"I-it can't be him…" she muttered in a dazed voice.
Xu Xuan refused to stand back up and continued to stare at the dallion in a dazed manner.
The Silver Phantoms didn't dare to disturb her and watched in silence.
Many monts later, Xu Xuan looked at the Silver Phantoms and angrily demanded, "Tell from start to end your encounter with this mortal and the Phantom Cat! Don't leave any details out this ti!"
The Silver Phantoms recalled their encounter once again. Not daring to skip any details like the first ti, they started from the mont Su Yang and Xiao Rong entered the queue.
They recalled every word Su Yang uttered, including his tone when speaking the words.
Xu Xuan listened with profound focus, almost like a cat staring at its prey.
