Chapter 1387: Chapter 139 Ah Dai Leaves_5
Zhuo Yun stood beside Yan Shi, her eyes revealing a sweet sensation. Yan Shi hadn’t returned to the treehouse last night; he and Zhuo Yun talked all night, further deepening their affection for each other. When in the throes of passionate love, they could only see each other in their eyes. As such, Yan Shi didn’t notice Ah Dai was missing.
Xuan Yue approached Yan Shi and said, "Big brother Yan Shi, where’s Ah Dai? We’re about to set off; how come I haven’t seen him?"
Yan Shi was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment showing on his face as he spoke softly, "I haven’t seen him either. I was chatting with Zhuo Yun outside last night and didn’t return to the treehouse. Ask Ah Li; he should know." After speaking, he turned and called over Yan Li, who was not far away. Yan Li had just come from the forest, a grave expression on his face. He said to Xuan Yue and Yan Shi, "Ah Dai has disappeared; he didn’t come back all last night. We’ve been searching for him all morning and haven’t found any trace of him. This kid, I don’t know where he could have gone off to."
Xuan Yue was startled and exclaimed, "What? Ah Dai is missing. But we’re about to set off! I’ll go ask Auntie the Queen." She hurried towards the Elf Queen, who was preparing with key members of the Elf Clan to see off the members of the church. The Elf Queen, seeing Xuan Yue rushing over, smiled and said, "Yue Yue, what’s the rush?"
Xuan Yue anxiously said, "Auntie, Ah Dai is missing. Do you know where he might have gone?"
The Elf Queen was shocked and turned towards Audi, saying, "Great Elf Envoy, Ah Dai is missing. Go and ask our people if they’ve seen him."
Audi was stunned and said, "Wasn’t he still here last night? Where could he possibly go?" After speaking, he quickly ordered his subordinate Elf Envoys to inquire with the various patrol teams.
By now, everyone from the church had packed up and was ready to go. Xuan Ye approached the Elf Queen with a smile and said, "Your Majesty the Queen, we are prepared to depart. Shall we look forward to meeting again in the future?"
Xuan Yue anxiously said, "Dad, wait a moment. Ah Dai, Ah Dai, he’s gone missing."
Xuan Ye frowned and said, "Ah Dai is missing? Yue Yue, our journey cannot afford delays. Could it be that he is unwilling to go to the church and is deliberately hiding? If that’s the case, why force him?"
Xuan Yue shook her head and said, "I haven’t seen him since the end of last night’s feast, and he has no idea that I want him to go to the church. Plus, he definitely wouldn’t just not go. Ah Dai, really, where could he have gone off to."
After a short time, the Great Elf Envoy Audi flew back, shaking his head at Xuan Yue, "None of our people have seen Ah Dai. I’ve already dispersed more to search for him."
Xuan Ye said, "Yue Yue, let’s go. When they find Ah Dai, let him catch up with us. We can’t delay the journey of so many people just because of one person." Not being able to find Ah Dai suited his wishes perfectly.
Xuan Yue’s heart was in turmoil, and she firmly shook her head, "No, I won’t leave without finding Ah Dai. He surely wouldn’t have gone far. Dad, please, just wait a bit longer."
At this moment, Yan Shi and others had also gathered around. The disappearance of Ah Dai had them all very worried.
Xuan Ye looked at his daughter, slightly angry, "Are you saying if you never find him, you’ll never leave this place? Yue Yue, how could you become so unreasonable."
Xuan Yue pleaded, "Dad, how can I leave without finding Ah Dai, please, just wait a little longer."
The father and son from the Ballon family approached Xuan Ye, with jealousy flashing in Ballon’s eyes as he looked at Xuan Yue’s anxious demeanor. He said to Xuan Yue, "Yue Yue, don’t wait any longer. Look, I found this in the forest. Waiting any longer won’t bring him back." After speaking, he took out from his bosom the piece of tree bark left by Ah Dai and handed it over.
