After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 763

Chapter 763: Off to Rescue
“Boss, what’s wrong with this jade?” Skinny Monkey asked curiously.

Zhouzhou shook her head and took out the statue of the Ancestral Master, asking, “Ancestral Master, do you know what’s going on with this?”

Skinny Monkey and the others knew Zhouzhou excelling in metaphysics, but seeing her talking to a statue still left them confused.

Commander was also bewildered. Was this little girl’s mind all right? Why was she talking to this thing?

Only Xi Mo understood the situation and focused his gaze on the Ancestral Master.

The Ancestral Master, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up when he sensed the Merits Light. He grabbed the jade, examined it closely, and said, “This Merits Light doesn’t come from this kid.”

He glanced at Xi Mo. Although it was all Merits Light, the aura was different for each person, and so was the Merits Light.

He hadn’t expected, “The concentration of Merits Light here is no less than that from this kid.”

Zhouzhou noticed this as well.

She touched her face and complained, “Ancestral Master, it stung me.”

The Ancestral Master looked up in surprise, “How did you end up like this?”

The little girl was all ragged and covered in scratches, looking like a pitiful victim.

Zhouzhou lowered her head to look at her injuries. She had been so focused on the Fortune Hair that she had forgotten about these wounds.

“It’s nothing.” She casually shook her head, took out a porcelain bottle, poured some into her palm, and rubbed it on her wounds with practiced ease.

Her gaze remained fixed on the jade as she asked, “Ancestral Master, what’s going on with this jade? How can it have both malicious energy and Merits Light?”

Such a situation…

She looked up at Xi Mo, “The aura seems similar to uncle’s.”

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Master furrowed his brow and said, “Zhouzhou, quickly ask them if any of their colleagues are in trouble.”

Zhouzhou immediately conveyed the message.

Fearing that passing the message might be troublesome, she handed each of them an Eye of Heaven Talisman.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, covered in patches of gray and gold, looking like it had a skin disease. Everyone was startled.

Before they could ask further, Zhouzhou’s question shifted their attention.

Colleague in trouble…

Xi Mo thought for a moment and then exchanged glances with Commander.

In unison, they said, “Wei Fangyi?”

He was the captain of another team in the military, second in strength only to Xi Mo. They had joined the service together, and he had always viewed Xi Mo as a rival. Unfortunately, despite the years, he had never surpassed him.

A few days ago, he had gone on a mission, and he should have returned the day before yesterday, but there had been no word from him since.

Hearing this, the Ancestral Master confirmed, “It’s likely him.”

He explained, “When someone is in trouble, their belongings will react, especially items like jade, which have inherent spiritual properties.”

“He must have frequently handled this jade, and the jade picked up his aura, so it’s issuing a warning now.”

He looked at Xi Mo, “Where did you get this jade?”

Commander also turned his attention to Xi Mo.

Xi Mo replied, “I took it from my room.”

“So this is Captain Xi’s?” Skinny Monkey was surprised, unable to connect the dots.

At that moment, a small dog suddenly ran in–it was Wei Fangyi’s pet. It was carrying a piece of green jade in its mouth.

Xi Mo’s eyes narrowed as he walked over, picked up the dog, and took out the jade from its mouth.

It was exactly the same as Wei Fangyi’s.

Commander suddenly realized, “I remember you two were on a mission together. This must have been a reward for you.”

“Yes,” Xi Mo nodded, his expression becoming serious. He had wondered how the jade ended up on the floor, but he had been in a hurry to comfort Zhouzhou and hadn’t thought much about it. He picked it up and left.

Now that he thought about it, the jade must have been dropped when the dog was playing with it. Since Wei Fangyi and Xi Mo lived next door, it ended up in his room.

If that’s the case, has something really happened to him?

Thinking about this, his expression darkened. “I’m going to find him.”

“Hold on.” Commander stopped him, “First, we need to find out where he is.”

“Okay.” Xi Mo nodded slightly. Then he thought of something and looked at Zhouzhou, asking, “Zhouzhou, can you tell if he is still alive?”

It was a difficult question. Even though Wei Fangyi always considered him a rival, he was still a comrade, and Xi Mo didn’t want anything to happen to him.

Zhouzhou nodded, “Yes. Do you have a photo of this uncle or his birth date?”

They were all men and didn’t like taking photos, so there were none. However, they remembered Wei Fangyi’s birthday had just passed.

Xi Mo provided the date, “But I don’t know the exact time he was born.”

“That’s okay.” Zhouzhou nodded, reaching for her copper coin.

But the coin had broken into several pieces due to the infrared earlier.

She pouted and looked up at the Ancestral Master.

The Ancestral Master glanced at her and, with some reluctance, took out his copper coin. “Here, borrow mine. Return it after you’re done.”

“Got it.” Zhouzhou happily accepted it and began to use it.

Not long after, she sighed in relief and said, “He’s still alive.”

Xi Mo and Commander felt relieved.

“But,” Zhouzhou’s tone changed, “We need to find him quickly, or if we miss midnight tonight, we might be too late.”

Indeed, he was in trouble.

At this moment, Commander’s phone rang with the information about Wei Fangyi that he had requested earlier. The device he carried had a locator.

The screen showed his location as a deep mountain forest next to their target area, and the coordinates hadn’t changed for a while. It seemed they were hiding.

Finding someone in a forest was not an easy task.

Seeing their worried expressions, Zhouzhou blinked and hopped a few times, offering, “Uncle, take me with you. I can find him!”

Oh right, Zhouzhou was here!

Xi Mo suddenly asked, “Zhouzhou, don’t you have a talisman that can help us locate Wei Fangyi? I’ll take the talisman myself.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes darted around, and she shook her head seriously, “No, the talisman can’t be used now. I should go myself. Besides, this uncle might be injured. If I’m there, I can help save him.”

As she spoke, Zhouzhou looked at him earnestly, her little face full of seriousness.

She was only trying to rescue someone, not just to go out and play.

Upon hearing this, Xi Mo eyed her suspiciously, feeling something was off.

Just then, the piece of jade that belonged to Wei Fangyi developed a crack.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou pinched her little paw nervously and said, “Oh no, uncle’s condition has worsened. We need to go quickly!”
