Abruptly, Di Fuyi looked away and asked, "What have you discovered?"

"There are two different sets of footprints . One set belongs to Little Fox, and the other belongs to the mermaid . I can recognize Little Fox's footprints . As for the mermaid, the footprints are not too deep or too big . I a.s.sume that these footprints belong to a woman of not more than 163 cm and her weight would be…"

She had precisely predicted the weight and height of the woman . Then, her eyes rested on Di Fuyi .  "You know who she is, right?"

Di Fuyi did not deny . "I know . If I am not mistaken, she should be Lan Jingyi . She has been missing for five days . "

To guess the ident.i.ty correctly was one thing, to hear his confession was another . Gu Xijiu took a deep breath before she continued, "You are only here with me because you are looking for Lan Jingyi, aren't you?"

Di Fuyi was very non-committal about her question . "What is the difference? Regardless of my intention, we are all sharing the same goal . "

She was right . She was looking for Little Fox, and he was looking for Lan Jingyi .

Of different means, they were working to achieve the same end . It did not come as a surprise to Gu Xijiu anymore that he offered his help so eagerly .

Gu Xijiu tried to calm down . She already felt bad enough, as though there was a lump in her throat . She could no longer finish the other half of her apple .

She threw the apple away and stood up . She took a look around on the ground, trying to look for the water source to perform the Aqua Drilling technique .

Di Fuyi stood and tidied up his robes . He then picked up the unfinished apple that she left behind on the ground . The apple was already dirty after taking a few rolls on the dirt .

Di Fuyi cleaned the fruit a little and took a bite . The fruit tasted sour and astringent . It was her least favorite flavor .

She liked the taste now all of a sudden . Was it a reflection of how she truly felt inside?

He kept the unfinished apple in his storage bag and performed the Water Manipulation Magic as well .

Gu Xijiu was very fast so Di Fuyi was 15 minutes behind her .

When Di Fuyi finally caught up with her, she was pretty calm . She saw Di Fuyi and frowned a little . "Perhaps we should go separate ways to speed things up," she said nonchalantly . She did not want to be on the same path as him anymore .

"They have used the same waterway . There is no need to chase after them separately," Di Fuyi said firmly .

Immediately, Gu Xijiu pa.s.sed the Wizardry Sh.e.l.l to him . "If you are here looking for someone, too, you should not say that you are here to help . You should contribute as well . "

If they were both looking for someone they cared for, why should she be the only one making the effort?

Di Fuyi did not expect that she would mind it . He hesitated, then pa.s.sed magic sh.e.l.l back to her . Promptly, he took out another one . "I have one more . We can take turns to blow the sh.e.l.ls . Now we are even . "

Gu Xijiu did not know what to say, as he was trying to make things clear between them . He refused to take any kind of losses on his own . Anyway, she did not want to take advantage of him, so she agreed .

They continued to move forward . At every junction, both of them would blow the magic sh.e.l.l to observe the ripples . None of them took advantage of anyone .

It was the first time for Gu Xijiu to use the instrument . Certainly, she would make some mistakes now and then and pointed at the wrong way .

Luckily, Di Fuyi had a very strong perceptive insight, so he could always correct her in time whenever she made the slightest misjudgment . Thus, none of them made any wrong turns . Unless the situation was really necessary, none of them talked to each other at all .

…

Unknowingly, they had traveled many miles underground .
