Gu Xijiu acknowledged Shen Nianmo's findings . The Celestial Cranes were the most popular rides in the celestial world . If the young palace master escaped with a crane, it would be difficult to find her .
The young palace master had definitely prepared for an escape . Therefore, the search would not be easy .
Mountains with steep, rocky cliffs surrounded the place . Even the slopes glittered with more cherry blossoms . The intense greenery contrasted a waterfall emerging from the depths of the mountains that went straight into a pool of water . The flower buds of crimson red danced gracefully in the gusts of wind, filling the air with delightful fragrances . Some of the buds fell onto the surface as the breeze continued to carry them away from their branches .
They looked up and realized that the sky was covered with a layer of fog in crimson red . They could not see anything beyond the fog . The red mist was the legendary Cherry Blossom Miasma . The vapor was extremely poisonous . Without a proper cure, any living being who passed by the area would be poisoned to death, which explained the serenity of the place without any traces of living creatures .
"We should split and search the place," Gu Xijiu suggested .
She was hoping to find some clues . After all, the place was the secret garden of the young palace master .
Shen Nianmo agreed and proceeded .
Ever since he found out about her true identity, he had been treating her rather coldly . They barely talked .
Gu Xijiu regretted that she revealed her true self so quickly, but at least he finally stopped flirting with her . However, he seemed to take prudent precautions against her . She knew it when he kept the pill away instead of swallowing it . He did not trust her . If things did not change, it would be difficult for her to train him in the future . Nonetheless, she should leave the matter now and attend to it later . She would improvise when the time came .
It was neither the spring season of March nor April, but the cherry blossom was unusually spectacular, each blooming more brilliantly in the other's company . A walk in the garden, surrounded by these fantastic flowers, would be a very romantic walk .
It would be such a happy time if a couple came and took a walk together, hand in hand .
Gu Xijiu recalled one of the hallucinations that occurred to her before . In the picture, she and Huang Tu spent some time in a garden of cherry blossoms .
It must have been a very happy time . In the scene, they were walking very closely together . She hugged his arm and walked the path together . They must have been very deeply in love . Unfortunately, he had disappeared . She had also forgotten about their love story .
When Shen Nianmo finally returned to his position as the master of heavenly law, hopefully, he would find a way to revive Huang Tu .
Swiftly, she walked the path in the garden while carefully observing her surroundings to find more traces . Soon, she found a trail .
The garden was primitive . It was formed naturally . She noticed its primary ecosystem by looking at the thorns that covered the ground . The trail, however, was looking a little odd . It was certainly not built but formed due to frequent steps taken along the path . Did the young master come here very often?
Gu Xijiu observed the trail and found something strange . Human steps did not only cover the trail, but it also bore evidence of a wheelchair . She followed the trail and continued to explore . The route was remote and tortuous . She wriggled through and finally arrived at a cliff .
From the top, the water formed a cascade down the mountain . The rushing water acted like curtains, covering almost the entire wall of the cliff . Gu Xijiu focused on the cliff, but could hardly find anything odd . However, her intuition told her that something must be wrong about the place .
She took a leap and landed on a rock at the bottom of the falls . She knocked on the wall and realized that it was not solid . It must be a cave!
