Chapter 76: Chapter 74 Searching

Dick watched as Xi Yun and Xiao Yi walked off in their own worlds, pursed his lips involuntarily, and clenched his fists.

"These guys, they have absolutely no intention of making serious progress in the instance!"

The more Dick thought about what had just happened, the angrier he became!

Today’s Feast had been completely ruined, but Dick had to think carefully about what to do next, especially since the Feast would continue for another two days.

Looking at the Feast so far, there were hardly a few people with any real strength!

The only ones worth mentioning for their strength were Sheraya, who could always stand up for people like Xi Yun, and Xiao Yi, when he wasn’t playing the fool.

The rest were just so-so.

If Ah Yi, who had suddenly disappeared, really was a wolf, then now there would only be one wolf left!

That wolf would be hiding among the five others besides himself!

Adding to that, Dick’s conclusion from yesterday that amongst the Chosen Ones there was bound to be at least one wolf, allowed him to narrow down his targets to either Xiao Yi, Sheraya, or Yuzuki Hibiki.

Upon further reflection, Dick found it unlikely that Xiao Yi or Sheraya were the wolves. Could it be that the wolf was Yuzuki Hibiki, whom he had always overlooked and underestimated?

Suddenly, Dick also remembered that Yuzuki Hibiki had said something this morning that provoked the chef!

Could he have deliberately irritated the chef to trigger his madness? Such a move was undoubtedly characteristic of a wolf’s behavior!

Thinking this, Dick couldn’t help but look at Yuzuki Hibiki, who was completely unaware, with eyes filled with suspicion.

...

On the other side, Xiao Yi was taken aback by Xi Yun’s words.

"Go to the Ancestor Temple? Why are we looking for the Ancestor Temple?"

"Save time, let’s talk as we walk," said Xi Yun as she walked and talked. "Xiao Yi, you were also quite concerned about the Ancestor Temple when your grandmother died, weren’t you?"

"Yes," Xiao Yi followed her pace and nodded, "such an old person, and suddenly wanting to go to the Ancestor Temple as night was falling – anyone would find it odd."

"I thought so too," Xi Yun agreed. "Grandma had been through two Feasts, so she wouldn’t make such a reckless move just before nightfall unless... there was something that made it absolutely necessary for her to go."

"Absolutely necessary?"

"Yes, it must have been something more important than her own life, or Grandma wouldn’t have risked going," continued Xi Yun. "Grandma really wanted to put an end to the Feast too. She just couldn’t find a way, so she reluctantly participated. I think if there’s something important enough for Grandma to risk her life to go out for, it’s very likely a secret related to the Feast."

"......Yes, that makes sense." Xiao Yi paused for a moment before nodding.

"I think there must be some secret in the Ancestor Temple Grandma wanted to visit, which is why I wanted you to come with me to search for it."

"But..." Xiao Yi shrugged helplessly, "we don’t know where the Ancestor Temple is."

"No worries," Xi Yun smiled, "although I haven’t found any clues to the Ancestor Temple growing up, now I feel confident that we can find it."

"Confident?"

"Yes," Xi Yun explained, "we can’t leave the village right now, meaning we can’t leave this mountain we’re on, right? That means the Ancestor Temple must be within this mountain, so the area we need to search has shrunk considerably. And since the Ancestor Temple is so difficult to find, it must be built inside a cave! With these two assumptions, I’ve thought of several possible places."

"I see, that makes a lot of sense!" Xiao Yi said earnestly, "If it’s a secret that could put an end to the Feast, I think it’s worth investigating."

"...Xiao Yi, thank you."

"Thank me for what? I promised your dad, I will definitely bring the Feast to an end."

Xiao Yi had heard that the Feast would end after five days, so his original plan was to just get through those five days. But now, things were different.

"Dad..." A flicker of sadness crossed Xi Yun’s eyes, "Yes, to put Dad’s mind at ease, I must put an end to this pointless Feast as soon as possible! And then..."

Speaking of which, Xi Yun took out something to show Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi, look."

"Is this... your ID card?"

"Yes." After taking out the ID card, Xi Yun’s expression softened, "Mom told me that an ID card is very important. With an ID card, one can travel to farther places. That’s why I applied for one recently."

"Yes, that’s true, when I used to go out I only carried two things, one was my phone, and the other was my ID card. Although right now, I’m not carrying my ID card."

Xi Yun looked at her own ID card with a bit of anticipation for the future appearing on her face.

She talked about the past, "When I was very young, my mom always told me how beautiful the world outside was, so I’ve always longed to leave the mountains. Mom also always supported me, to a degree that almost scared me. But thanks to her, I came to know that there’s more to the world than just the mountains. Xiao Yi, the outside world is beautiful, isn’t it?"

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded, "the world is indeed vast."

"Is that so? I thought as much..." Xi Yun made up her mind, "Great! I have to work even harder! I need to get into a good university!"

Xiao Yi looked at Xi Yun and couldn’t help but smile softly.

But they both knew that all of this had to be based on the premise of ending the Feast.

So, the two of them quickly explored several places where the Ancestor Temple might be, but... they found nothing.

Just as Xi Yun was at a loss, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but look in a direction – the direction from which the Wolf God had fled the previous day.

"Xi Yun, we haven’t checked over there yet," Xiao Yi suggested.

"Over there? But that’s all cliffs and precipices, there’s nothing... No, perhaps it’s precisely because of that, the Ancestor Temple is more likely to be there. Xiao Yi, let’s go have a look."

Then, the two actually found a path, difficult to detect, trampled by human feet, hidden in bushels of weeds as tall as a man.

At the end of this path was an incredibly concealed, man-made trail on the cliffside, obscured by the weeds.

And at the end of the trail was a cave adorned with green vine and moss, with several candles and lanterns placed at its entrance.

It goes without saying, the Ancestor Temple must be here!

Xiao Yi and Xi Yun exchanged glances, then promptly lit a fire and walked into the cave with lanterns in hand.

But what Xiao Yi had not expected was the reappearance of that unexpected presence right before him.

"...Wolf God?"
