He stopped Lu Qi and said, “Master Lu, Miss Cheng was here when you were talking to the Eldest Young Master just now. She said that she was going on a long trip, so she’s definitely not at home now.”

Lu Qi frowned when he heard this.

“Going on a long trip? Did she say where she was going?”

“I asked, but she didn’t tell me.”

Lu Qi was stunned.

How could Cheng Ling suddenly go on a long trip and not tell him?

“Is Cheng Ling’s grandmother still at home?”

“Yes, only Miss Cheng went out alone.”

Hearing Lu Dong’s words, Lu Qi became even more flustered.

How could Cheng Ling abandon her grandmother and leave on her own? She must have been forced to do something. Lu Qi immediately ran to Cheng Ling’s house.

When Xie Ying opened the door, her eyes were still red. Although Lu Qi didn’t want to disturb her, he still asked carefully, “Grandma, where’s Cheng Ling?”

“Ling Ling has gone out.”

“Where did Cheng Ling go?”

Xie Ying shook her head and said she didn’t know.

She indeed didn’t know.

Lu Qi looked at Xie Ying’s weak appearance as if she was going to fall at any moment.

“Grandma, you should go back and rest first.”

Lu Qi returned to his home then only came to a realization. He immediately took out his phone and called Cheng Ling.

The phone was still connected, but no one answered the phone.

Then, he sent Cheng Ling a WeChat message.

However, Cheng Ling, who was deep in the mountains and forests, had no signal to see Lu Qi’s WeChat message.

The helicopter landed at around 10 o’clock at night. Mi Duo’s senior brothers were well-equipped, so they found a suitable place to set up a camp.

“There must be wild beasts roaming around this place at night, so it’s not suitable to move at night. Let’s rest here first. We’ll set off tomorrow morning at dawn.”

Cheng Ling nodded. She was not an expert in this area, so she could only follow the arrangements of others.

She took out her phone and found out there was no signal at all. This meant that the call could not come in, and she could not receive WeChat messages.

She held the phone tightly in her hand and closed her eyes.

Would Lu Qi be worried when he found out that she had left?

What information could she find in Carefree Valley this time? Could Lu Qi’s poison be relieved?

All kinds of questions flooded Cheng Ling’s mind in an instant. The darkness always made people’s thoughts run wild. Cheng Ling did not fall asleep for the whole night.

The following morning, they went to Carefree Valley on foot.

They held a detailed map. This map was drawn by a native they had bribed on the mountain. It was very detailed.

They followed the map for half a day before reaching the coordinates that Cheng Ling was looking for.

This place was densely packed with mountains and forests. Although it was already daybreak, the sunlight could not shine through. It was all blocked by the leaves.

They followed the map all the way. Cheng Ling was looking down at the road when she suddenly heard the exclamations of the three men beside her.

She raised her head and could not help but exclaim. The scene before her eyes was like a paradise.

This was a valley where sunlight could shine in. This place was rich in vegetation and was full of all kinds of flowers. The colors were diverse and bright.

However, Cheng Ling felt that it was very familiar. Wasn’t this the valley that she had dreamt of when she first dreamed of her parents?

However, unlike the dream, there were no traces of people living in the valley at this time.

Moreover, it could be seen that these plants had not been taken care of for many years. They were all over the place.

Cheng Ling looked at the scene in front of her in a daze. The other three men had already split up to look for clues.

“Look! This is indeed Carefree Valley!”

Suddenly, the second brother shouted.

Cheng Ling and the other two immediately ran over and saw a sign covered with weeds and flowers.

They pushed aside the weeds and revealed the words carved on the sign — Carefree Valley.

Carefree Valley was huge, and all they could see in front of them were plants.

“I’ll go over there and take a look.” Cheng Ling pointed forward.

“Okay, be careful. If there’s anything, use smoke bombs.”

“Okay.”

Cheng Ling passed through the place covered with weeds that were half the height of a person. She walked a few dozen meters forward. She found that this place was even more unique.

It was as if she had accidentally entered a palace in the forest.

In front of her was an extremely large house, or rather, a castle.

The outer wall was already covered with all kinds of plants, and green vines were crawling around it.

Cheng Ling lifted her foot and stepped on the green grass all over the ground. As if she was bewitched by this house, she walked over.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I saw a lot of rare plants here.”

“Yes, it’s good to bring some back for samples. It should be very useful for Cheng Ling’s research.”

“Eh? Where’s Cheng Ling?”

“Yeah, where did she go? Hurry up and find her!”

It was already three days later when Lu Qi received news of Cheng Ling again.

Mi Duo ran to Lu Dong with an anxious expression. After knowing that it was about Cheng Ling, Lu Dong quickly brought her to see Lu Qi.

“Carefree Valley? What is she doing there?”
