Chapter 1601: Chapter 1601: Have You Discovered It Already?
“Has King Qian arrived yet? It must not be easy to gather information about the Cold Soul Flower Core, right?” Su Tang said as he looked at An Jiuyue.
Just by inquiring about this medicinal herb, the whereabouts of Prince Zhan Yun would likely be exposed directly, and following that, they would experience endless pursuits and killings, just like them.
“We must also make inquiries.”
Zhan Beiye looked at him with a sidelong glance and said a word, passing the roasted meat that was ready over to An Jiuyue.
“An Jiuyue, the meat is cooked, you eat some first.”
“Okay.”
An Jiuyue took the roasted meat and sprinkled some fine salt on it from her space.
In the Rui Prison Grounds, there weren’t such high demands; just simply sprinkling some fine salt to make it edible was enough. After adding salt to her own, she placed the salt container next to Zhan Beiye.
Zhan Beiye glanced at it and continued to roast the meat.
…
The Rui Prison Grounds were vast, and truly, finding the Sky Phoenix Grass within was very difficult.
The group had been searching the Rui Prison Grounds for two days without seeing even a shadow of the Sky Phoenix Grass. Although they didn’t lose heart, they were indeed somewhat disheartened.
“Prince Zhan, I really doubt whether the people of Xiang Qifeng have already searched the Rui Prison Grounds, which is why we haven’t found a single stalk of Sky Phoenix Grass.”
He strongly suspected whether the people of Xiang Qifeng had scoured the place before them, taking away every visible stalk of Sky Phoenix Grass.
That’s why they hadn’t found even one here.
“You just realized that?”
Zhan Beiye looked at Su Tang somewhat helplessly and countered.
He had already known this fact, alright? Ever since An Jiuyue squatted down in a certain area to carefully discern the scent of the soil, he had guessed it.
The people of Xiang Qifeng didn’t want them to find the Sky Phoenix Grass, so they had already found it here.
“Ah?”
Su Tang was taken aback by his question.
“Prince Zhan, you noticed it earlier?” he scratched his head and asked.
If he had realized it earlier, why hadn’t he mentioned it? He had been searching here the whole time, not knowing whether they would find it or not.
“Continue searching.”
Zhan Beiye didn’t answer his question but commanded instead.
“Can we still find it?”
Su Tang asked, and the other two subordinates carrying Xiang Qiyan also turned their gaze to Zhan Beiye.
After someone had already searched the place, what more could they find?
“Why can’t we find it? Do you think they can turn over the soil of the Rui Prison Grounds? If we search carefully, we can always find the ones they missed,” Zhan Beiye said, completely matter-of-fact.
Such a vast Rui Prison Grounds, could the people of Xiang Qifeng have completely eliminated the Sky Phoenix Grass?
If they really had that much capability, then there would be no need for them to oppose him; they could simply hand over Xiang Qiyan instead.
“All of you, keep your eyes peeled, and search,” he ordered.
“Yes, Prince Zhan,” Su Tang and the two others assented and continued to look ardently for traces of the Sky Phoenix Grass.
Meanwhile, An Jiuyue, not too far from them, was also searching. However, the Sky Phoenix Grass was really hard to find; she hadn’t even seen a hint of it.
“Huh.”
She exhaled heavily.
“Is the Sky Phoenix Grass really that hard to find?”
“Master, didn’t you see? Someone had already taken all the Sky Phoenix Grass before us,” Wei Na reminded his master in a low voice.
Those people were really ruthless, not leaving behind a single stalk of Sky Phoenix Grass. He wondered whether the Sky Phoenix Grass might become extinct in this plane after this.
“There will always be some that were overlooked; we must find it,” An Jiuyue said, clearly not willing to give up.
