Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system

"Stay sharp, let’s start searching from this backyard. Qin Qi couldn’t have left this old opera house, so she must still be in here. To find her faster, let’s split up."

"Leader Yan, you’re with my senior brother. Xia Yue, you’re with me and Mo Si. You guys go that way, while we head this way. If anything comes up, use the messaging talisman." Xia Xi told Yan Mo, then, concerned that they might be unhappy with the arrangements, added: "Or, maybe you could choose your own groups."

Yan Mo had no problem with these divisions; he could work with anyone. So, he turned to look at Xia Yue.

"No problem at all, let’s decide that then," Xia Yue said, smiling. In any case, no matter who she was with, she would still need protection. Being with Xia Xi, she could have protection from two people.

Being with Wen Ziyin, she was worried that she might drag him down, and that wouldn’t be good. Even though she had learned quite a bit of martial arts from Dragon Lord Ao Ye, her lack of combat experience made her too much of a liability.

After splitting up, Mo Si took the lead, with Xia Xi and Xia Yue walking side by side, and Spiritual Cat followed Xia Yue -- constantly being carried by Xia Yue was tiring.

The area they were investigating was the former living quarters of the opera house’s performers. With so many rooms in it, the search was quite taxing.

Entering a room, they were met with a sea of cobwebs and billowing dust – it seemed that quite a few things had been left behind, presumably because they had hurriedly taken only the most important items when they left.
