NovelEnglish2962 Fragment Four
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao hastily tugged at her Hubby’s hand. “Lian, let’s go check it out.”
Mo Lian nodded and regarded her with confusion. “What’s going on?”
From the intensity of her serious expression, it appeared as though something significant had transpired. Moments ago, everything had seemed perfectly fine. Ming Bao and Fifth Qin’s disappearance had no direct bearing on them, to be frank…
The little lady’s face remained impassive as she stated, “Earlier, I found Qiuqiu’s tree seed fragment, Little Four, within the range of the Heaven-rank items testing monument on the main academy street.”
Qiao Mu inhaled deeply. “It escaped!”

Mo Lian couldn’t help but chuckle. “So, those city folk were talking about ‘eating people’s inner worlds’?”

“It should be its handiwork.” The little lady held higher expectations for the entity and nodded resolutely.
Little Four was far too mischievous.
As they conversed, the pair swiftly made their way to West Main Street.
A considerable crowd had already assembled at the far end. Men and women, young and old, equipped with tools, had joined the throng to search for the missing child. However, a boundary was beyond the scope of investigation for dozens of ordinary individuals.
Upon reaching West Main Street, Qiao Mu detected the familiar power fluctuations. Realizing that Fragment Four was behind this, she urgently pulled Mo Lian into a nearby alley.
At this moment, West Street had already drawn a considerable crowd. Numerous students from the Royal Academy had learned of the incident and hurried to the scene.
Qiao Mu aimed to avoid attracting attention.
Little Fourth was quite the mischievous one, and she needed to spirit it away before anyone took notice.
They ventured into a nearby alley. Initially, the surroundings seemed unremarkable, but before long, they halted and exchanged glances.
“While the surroundings don’t appear drastically different, it’s evident that we’ve inadvertently entered a boundary,” Mo Lian remarked with a smile. “Can’t Qiuqiu sense the fragment’s trajectory? Summon it and guide us.”
Qiao Mu nodded and called forth Qiuqiu.

“What’s the matter?”
“Fourth Son seems to have developed a hint of intelligence and its own intentions.” The little treant drooped its dark beady eyes, extending a branch to scratch its head in distress.
“What if it doesn’t want to return to its original position?” The sapling gazed at its master with concern and whispered, “Only by collecting all the missing fragments can Qiuqiu grow into a towering tree.”
With this declaration, Qiuqiu gazed up at the sky, adopting an air of solemn sapling pride.
Qiao Mu grew exasperated for a moment before gently stroking the leaf on its head. “It will come back.”
“Quickly scan for its location.”
Qiuqiu raised its two tael leaves and pointed ahead.
Originally, Qiao Mu intended to reach out and grasp her Hubby’s hand, but her hand met empty air. Alarmed, she swiveled her head and called out, “Lian!”
Mo Lian shared her frustration.
As he spoke, intending to take her hand, he found himself unable to do so. It was then that he realized they had fallen into a trap.
