The deserted territory remained untraversed, and the silent hills remained static. There was no sign of Gu Xijiu within a hundred miles of the place they had met earlier.

Once again, Di Fuyi stepped foot into the Tianyin Valley, a place where he had avoided for more than two years. The servants in the Tianyin Valley carried out their respective chores as usual. All of them were kept occupied. "National Master, what brings you here?" A servant was surprised to find him in the valley.
Di Fuyi went straight to the point and asked, "Has the Divine Lord returned?"
The servant answered with a shake of his head. "No, she has been out for more than 20 days now and has yet to return to her residence."
Apparently, she had not returned.
