He had miscalculated things.
But when he suggested Xiao Xian go to Changbai Mountain to find spiritual energy supplies, she did not show any signs of desperation or seeking help. This led Zhou Ziang to mistakenly think that she could find someone to help her.
A girl all alone in this world, without father or mother, who could she possibly ask for help?
"Damn, she's alone." Zhou Ziang gloomily realized this fact. He had to find her, but where should he start looking? Setting off from Beijing to Changbai Mountain, he could travel by land, sea, or air, with flying being the most convenient method; however, Xiao Xian was just a middle school student, and it was unlikely for her to directly take a flight.
Even if she went straight to Changbai Mountain, compared to the mountains around Beijing, those in the northeast are vast and their vegetation is more complex. With different sources of spiritual energy distributed everywhere, where could he possibly find her?
