Chapter 172: Unknown Power
The two of them arrived at a cafe. Xiao Ying heard the mechanical voice saying “replenishing energy” in her mind and heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yao asked, “Cheng Yang still hasn’t been found?”
Xiao Ying was somewhat shocked. “How did you know?”
Zhou Yao shrugged and said, “My uncle told me.”
Only then did Xiao Ying remember the relationship between Cheng Ya and his uncle.
Zhou Yao did not know why she asked him out, but seeing the obvious exhaustion and anxiety on her face, he consoled her. “Nothing will happen to a person like Cheng Yang.”
Xiao Ying forced a smile. If it had been any other situation, she would not have been worried. However, this time, it was not trouble caused by humans. It was the illusory Heavenly Dao.
It was Xiao Ying who took the initiative to look for him, but between the two of them, Zhou Yao had been the one finding topics to talk about. Even after bidding farewell, Xiao Ying had not told him what she came for, and he did not ask.
Perhaps to him, being able to get close to her was already an extravagant hope.
Sitting in the taxi, Xiao Ying asked, “Amulet, where is Cheng Yang?”
The amulet sounded visibly surprised. “What do you mean? What happened to the destined energy source?”
Xiao Ying paused. “You don’t know?”
The amulet was even more stunned. “I haven’t known since I ran out of energy.”
When they arrived, Xiao Ying paid the driver and got out of the car.
She did not return home. Instead, she went to the hospital.
She found a secluded place and started to ask, “Cheng Yang has been missing for half a month. Do you really not know?”
The amulet said in disbelief, “How is that possible? I’ll find out where he is.”
Xiao Ying raised her eyebrows and temporarily believed that he didn’t know about this. However, his attitude towards Cheng Yang made Xiao Ying suspicious. Why did she feel that this amulet seemed to be afraid that something would happen to Cheng Yang?
As this thought passed through her mind, Xiao Ying had already arrived at Qiao Zihao’s ward.
As expected, Qiao Zihao was already awake.
Just as Xiao Ying was about to question him, Qiao Zihao beat her to it and said, “Sister, where did my teddy bear go?”
Xiao Ying was stunned. Hadn’t he already known that she had found the little bear before he fell unconscious?
Qiao Zihao continued, “I want to find that bear.”
Xiao Ying probed, “You probably can’t find it anymore. Why don’t I take you to buy a new one later?”
Qiao Zihao nodded happily.
Xiao Ying frowned. She didn’t know if he was playing dumb or if there was some other reason, but her intuition told her to listen to him first. Otherwise, something bad would happen.
She brought Qiao Zihao to the supermarket. He did not choose a teddy bear. Instead, he took a rabbit plushie and said, “Sister, can I buy this?”
Xiao Ying naturally nodded. “As long as you like it.”
The two had just returned home when the amulet said, “The destined energy source has been found.”
Xiao Ying was stunned. Then, she was overjoyed. “Where?”
The amulet suddenly said, “Something’s wrong. There seems to be another force interfering. I can’t sense him anymore.”
It subconsciously finished speaking.
Xiao Ying asked, “What do you mean?”
Realizing that he had misspoken, the amulet quickly tried to salvage the situation. “I’ll look around again to make sure.”
Xiao Ying took these words to heart. This self-proclaimed amulet of the Heavenly Dao seemed to have an opponent.
She looked at Qiao Zihao beside her. His expression was innocent and natural, as if he knew nothing.
Xiao Ying could only suppress the anxiety in her heart and wait for news from the amulet.
The amulet became even more anxious because it could not find Cheng Yang. Xiao Ying’s mind was filled with the sizzling sound of electricity. She felt even more puzzled. Why was it so anxious?
Hadn’t it always wanted Cheng Yang to feel pain and die?
No, it didn’t want Cheng Yang to die. Instead, it had been emphasizing on letting him walk the path of his predetermined fate.
