Hou Boxu felt slightly reassured, thinking he was being overly suspicious. Bringing this woman along was already an added precaution—if two Hua Dan Cultivators couldn't handle a single Xuan Guang Practitioner, they might as well bash their own heads in and die.
Just then, a Daoist boy entered the room and respectfully said, "Two seniors, my master has sent me to inform you that the person you are seeking has just left Zhenyu Building and is heading out through the west gate of the Immortal Market..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Xu, unable to contain herself, turned into a wisp of clear smoke and flew out immediately.
Even so, Hou Boxu didn't forget to give the child a parting instruction: "Go back and tell Daoist Sima that this old man owes him a debt of gratitude."
After saying this, he, too, leapt into the air, wind whipping under his arms, and followed Mrs. Xu outside.
