There was no change on the second floor of the treehouse; it remained the cozy little room as usual.
Although Wenxi hadn’t been sleeping in her treehouse lately and only returned to slt ores, she kept the third floor neat and tidy.
Next door was the area expanded by the banyan tree, which could integrate with the treehouse to increase its size, but it hadn’t been used much and was mostly empty.
The second floor appeared to have no anomalies.
The third floor had so fruits and vegetables planted, but nothing unusual there either.
"Keke, did you find anything?"
"Ying." Keke shook her little head.
"Xu Xin, co and take a look at the first floor quickly."
Just then, Li Yajun’s voice echoed from downstairs. Her tone was quite surprised.
"What happened?" Xu Xin imdiately ran downstairs.
Downstairs was Wenxi’s workspace, which had been expanded by the banyan tree to a significant size in the treehouse.
The slting room, in particular, occupied almost 80% of the first floor’s space.
Li Yajun was standing in front of the slting room, peering inside.
Xu Xin also walked over to look inside.
"... ? Is it... empty?"
Indeed, the originally crowded slting room filled with special furnaces was now completely empty.
The room was scattered with ore dust, but so spots were impressively clean, marked clearly.
That was likely where the furnaces were originally placed.
"Ying!" Keke jumped off Xu Xin’s shoulder, leaping into a footprint, "Ying ying!"
On the floor, faint footprints were visible.
The footprints were of two people, with sizes clearly indicating girls.
The footprints weren’t chaotic; they seed to have entered the slting room in tandem, stopping in front of each furnace before... taking all the furnaces away.
Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
If earlier he was worried whether Yingying would force Wenxi, now he was confident that Wenxi had chosen to leave on her own, and before leaving, she took her special furnaces.
It seed indeed that Yingying needed to slt so... ores?
He shook his head.
What exactly are these two girls up to that they can’t talk to him about, choosing to disappear silently?
At this mont, his watch vibrated; it was Zhao Xiaochuan calling.
"Brother Xin? I’m at your treehouse now, are you not here?"
"Yes, I’ll be back soon."
Ending the call, Xu Xin briefly explained his thoughts to Li Yajun, saying, "So, you don’t need to worry; Wenxi will be fine, my sister wouldn’t hurt Wenxi."
Li Yajun finally felt relieved, patting her chest, "That’s good, then go back to your business quickly, they’ve arrived."
Xu Xin nodded, asking Li Yajun to send him down the treehouse.
At this mont, Lou Fei’Er and others had gathered around the treehouse, indicating they hadn’t found anything either.
"There’s nothing around here, just a regular forest." Zeng Tao remarked, feeling a bit bored.
"... Ying?" Just then, Keke glanced in one direction.
Xu Xin imdiately noticed Keke’s movent and looked in that direction too.
There was nothing.
"What’s wrong, Keke? Is there sothing over there?"
"... Ying?" Keke tilted her little head, then shook it, "Ying."
"I checked over there." Jin Yue spoke up, "Didn’t find anything unusual."
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
... Forget it, let’s go back for now; everyone’s waiting over there.
I’ll co back to check later.
Returning through the portal to the treehouse, a group of people had already gathered around.
Everyone had arrived.
"Brother Xin, what were you up to?" Wang Lei asked curiously, "And took three beauties along?"
"I went to Wenxi’s treehouse. Let’s go up first; it’s quite complicated, and I need to explain the current situation to you all."
He led the group to the third floor of the treehouse, where they sat around in a circle.
"Brother Xin, hurry up and tell us." Zhao Xiaochuan was impatient, even before sitting down, "What’s going on with Crystal City? I was stunned when I ca over!"
"Indeed Crystal City is... hmm? Aren’t we missing soone? Isn’t Wenxi with you?" Wen Guixin glanced around before shouting towards the bedroom, "Wenxi, are you in there?"
"... Wenxi isn’t here right now; things have been a bit chaotic lately, let start from the beginning."
With that, Xu Xin began to recount the experiences from his side, explaining to them in detail.
