After absorbing the lesson that as Lu Yang, he had inquired about the culprit without knowing who it was himself, Fairy Eternity meticulously scanned the Fairy Palace with her Immortal Sense at all times, vowing to find the offender and restore her reputation.

Fortunately, she had finally found a clue.

"It’s true — as long as I, Yellow Bean, take charge, there’s no case that can’t be cracked!"

"Who? Bai Ye?"

Lu Yang couldn’t utter the words "Palace Master Luo" after being caught off guard by Fairy Eternity’s sudden interjection.

"Next time, Fairy, can you tell us what you see earlier!" Lu Yang found it hard to believe that Fairy hadn’t noticed any signs before Bai Ye drugged the laurel tree.

And even if it was Bai Ye, how did she break the Medicine Warehouse Formation?

"Isn’t it about capturing the thief along with the loot? I just had my suspicions earlier. What if I wrongly accused that girl?" Fairy Eternity, after studying law for so long with Lu Yang, had developed a good legal mind.

"Senior Brother? Elder Brother Lu Yang?" Lan Ting realized Elder Brother Lu Yang had stopped analyzing halfway and suddenly fell silent, quite puzzled, waving her delicate little hand in front of Lu Yang until she finally snapped him back to attention.

Lu Yang realized he was in the middle of analyzing the case, and this wasn’t the time to quarrel with Fairy Eternity.

"Come on, let Immortal take charge!" Fairy Eternity felt that since she had uncovered the truth, she should be the one to reveal the answer!

Lu Yang was no match for Immortal Fairy Eternity, who possessed him in an instant.

Fairy Eternity looked like she had just woken from a dream: "Ah, I’m here, I’m here, where did we leave off just now?"

"You were saying ’the perpetrator is indeed Luo…’, and then you stopped talking."

Lan Ting gave Lu Yang an odd look but hid it very well.

Why does it feel like Senior Brother has transformed into someone else?

Having extensive experience in possessing others and impersonating Lu Yang in the Imperial City, Fairy Eternity now imitated Lu Yang to perfection, not even referring to herself as "Immortal" anymore.

"I was saying that the frail-looking Bai Ye is the perpetrator!"

Fairy Eternity said with conviction, "The perpetrator often returns to the scene of the crime. If I’m not wrong, she is currently at the twelfth row, thirtieth laurel tree in the Laurel Forest!"

Lan Ting was completely baffled, wondering how Elder Brother Lu Yang had deduced such an exact location — had she missed a step in his reasoning?

She really couldn’t keep up with Elder Brother Lu Yang’s thought process, could she?

And most importantly...

"Who is Bai Ye?"

She had never heard of such a person in the Fairy Palace.

"You don’t know her? She comes here every night to listen to stories," said Fairy Eternity, her tone a bit resentful.

If it hadn’t been for Bai Ye occupying Lu Yang’s nighttime hours, Lu Yang could have spent the whole night playing snowball fights with her.

"She comes to your place every night to listen to stories?" Lan Ting was even more shocked. Who would forgo cultivation to secretly steal the chance to listen to stories at Senior Brother’s side every night?

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. How come Junior Sister Lan Ting has never heard of Junior Sister Bai Ye?" Spiritual Space Lu Yang couldn’t help but ask.

This made it seem as if he had been telling stories every night to someone who didn’t exist, which was quite eerie.

"An avatar of the Laurel Tree Ancestor or something like that is probably a secret in the Fairy Palace; it’s normal that the girl Lan Ting hasn’t heard of her," Fairy Eternity revealed Bai Ye’s identity nonchalantly, as if the Laurel Tree Ancestor were some trivial character not worth mentioning.

"Laurel Tree Ancestor?!" Lu Yang was taken aback.

He suddenly remembered that Bai Ye had given him a pack of laurel flowers to eat for fun. Could they have been plucked from her own body?

Fairy Eternity paid no mind to Lu Yang’s surprise for the moment; she was the only person in the Fairy Palace who knew the truth and felt her intelligence had reached an extraordinary realm. She was determined to catch Bai Ye in one fell swoop.

"Never mind that for now. Let’s go chase Bai Ye!"

Fairy Eternity waved her hand grandly, leading Lan Ting on a brisk run to Luo Hongxia’s Abode.

Little Yang had lost all his powers and wouldn’t be able to catch Bai Ye even if they found her; they needed Luo Hongxia, the former failure, to help.

However, come to think of it, even if Little Yang retained his realm, he still couldn’t catch up to Bai Ye.

At this moment, Luo Hongxia was also contemplating in front of three Spirit Fruits, trying to figure out which one contained the stolen medicinal ingredients.

She heard a knock on the door, and when she opened it, there was no one there.

"Over here, here."

Luo Hongxia looked down and saw two tiny figures.

"Master, Elder Brother Lu Yang has deduced who the perpetrator is. It’s a little girl named Bai Ye, about as tall as me, and she’s in the Laurel Forest!"

"Who is Bai Ye?" Luo Hongxia had not heard this name before.

However, she quickly grew serious. Now was not the time to study who Bai Ye was. Since they had a lead on the culprit, capturing Bai Ye in the Laurel Forest was the most important thing!

"Let’s go!"

Luo Hongxia soared into the air, only to realize two people were missing by her side. Looking down, she saw the two tiny figures running hard towards the Laurel Forest.

Luo Hongxia landed, scooped up one under each arm, and sped off again towards the Laurel Forest.

"Let’s go!"

Luo Hongxia, carrying the two burdens, moved just as fast as usual. She also thoughtfully applied a transparent protective shield to them, to prevent the cold wind from rushing in and harming their bodies.

As she flew over the Laurel Forest, she indeed spotted a delicate figure pouring something at the base of a Laurel Tree, muttering under her breath.

"Thief, take this!"

Luo Hongxia dropped the two tiny figures and made her move without hesitation.

Due to the protective shield, they bounced a couple of times on the ground before landing safely, unscared.

The delicate figure, seeing Luo Hongxia attack, cursed softly at the untimely interruption, engrossed as she was in her experiments with the Laurel Tree and unalert to Luo Hongxia’s approach.

Seemingly not intent on fighting, the delicate figure turned and ran, her speed so fast that she left an Illusory Shadow in place, and her true form was nowhere to be found in an instant.

Even with Luo Hongxia’s keen eyes, she couldn’t keep up with the delicate figure’s tracks!

Luo Hongxia opened her Spiritual Sense to search, but found nothing.

She thought back to the fleeting glimpse of the figure’s face and frowned deeply.

"An unfamiliar face, could it be an outsider?"

…

"That was close, almost caught by Little Luo," the delicate figure gasped for breath against the Laurel Tree Ancestor, still baffled how Luo Hongxia had found her.

It was as if she knew exactly where she was, her target crystal clear.

"Hehe, trying to run? Can you really escape?" A childish laugh came from behind the delicate figure, startling her into spinning around.

"Who’s there!"

She was sure that with her Spiritual Sense open, she would have noticed anyone approaching her.

And how did the other person know she was here?

"Lu Yang?" the delicate figure exclaimed in surprise. Why was it Lu Yang?

"Bai Ye girl, come back with me and admit your mistake," Fairy Eternity said with a triumphant laugh. No matter how fast Bai Ye moved, could she be faster than her Immortal Sense?

Captured with the evidence, a great achievement!

The delicate figure snorted coldly, "I am not Bai Ye, I am Bai Ri."

In the Spiritual Space, Lu Yang vaguely remembered hearing this name somewhere and was suddenly startled.

"Bai Ri… Why do I remember that the founder of the Fairy Palace, Chasing Moon True Person, was called Bai Ri?"
