Chapter 25:

Yan Zhengming's words stunned Li Yun and Cheng Qian. Li Yun hesitantly asked, "So... he's our martial uncle?"

Upon the utterance of his words, Li Yun felt like he was possessed by Han Yuan, and promptly kneaded his forehead in regret.

"Of course not, did the sect rules all go down your stomach? Once you've stepped onto the path of malevolent Taos like ghostism or slaughterism, you shall be expelled from the sect and never be allowed to return," said Yan Zhengming sternly.

Silence filled the room.

Cheng Qian pulled himself back after a minute or two and murmured, "That means... the old friend is probably..."

He paused involuntarily, seemingly not sure how to address the person. He thought a good while before it came to him. "Err, former martial uncle."

"Who else could that be?" said Yan Zhengming impatiently. "Fuyao Mountain isn't the supreme headquarters of demonic cultivators."

"First Senior Brother, what's your opinion on this? Shall we just go ask master tomorrow?" Inquired Li Yun tentatively.

Yan Zhengming shook his head. Despite Master's talkativeness, most of what he said was rubbish. When it came to something serious, he'd be like an oyster with his mouth zipped tight. Yan Zhengming definitely didn't believe that they could pry something out of him. He deliberated for a while and said with a glimmer of hope, "Is there a way... that can let us find master's whereabouts when he tries to throw us off?"

Cheng Qian had hung around the Library all day long. After he heard what Yan Zhengming said, a big heap of strategies came flooding into his head. But he rejected them one by one and at last, he found that the chances were near impossible—for them to track their master, the first condition was that one of them had to be more powerful than their master.

"I think it's hopeless," Cheng Qian said. "Unless second senior brother could get another toad and make master carry the smell of Toad Liquid on his body—but I'm afraid that second senior brother's toad would fake death again upon meeting a strong demonic cultivator."

"Don't look at me; I have no idea," Li Yun shrugged. "Once confronted with a formidable enemy, any creature with intelligence would be terrified. The ones that aren't are too dumb to be utilized to track people."

"Must have intelligence and won't be terrified..." Yan Zhengming pondered over Li Yun's words. "Hey, what do you think of Puddle?"

Cheng Qian rolled his eyes—neither did he believe that his junior sister had intelligence nor did he think that she wouldn't be terrified. But the next second he suddenly got what Yan Zhengming meant. Though they didn't have the ability to track their master, they could try to do something to their junior sister.

Since master always took the kid with him and she couldn't understand human language yet, it definitely wouldn't be found out.

After some discussion, the three got a batten and whittled it down to a slim piece. The well-read Cheng Qian provided the idea and Yan Zhengming was in charge of the manual operation, thus they got off to the rocky start of carving the tracking charm.

This tracking charm was very primary because Cheng Qian hadn't read to the advanced part. But even so, first senior brother's skills were so unexpectedly bad that he failed again and again.
