Here is the English translation of the provided text:
The daylight was bright.
The main road of Mo Ye City was bustling with traffic, with pedestrians and street vendors filling the street sides.
You Su and Ji Lingruo walked ahead, while Zi Yiyi followed behind them, like an emotionless observer.
Today she was somewhat unusual, using a light veil to cover her face.
It wasn’t to hide her charming face but to conceal her pair of resentful eyes.
She hadn’t slept a wink the entire night.
Though You Su and Ji Lingruo had tried their best to control the noise, Zi Yiyi was at the Middle Condensed Water Realm, with exceptional hearing abilities. Sounds that were inaudible to common people were crystal clear to her.
In that silent night, some sounds were even more piercing than the mice in wall holes.
Even more exaggerated, during one period, she could even hear the flamboyant conversations from the other side of the wall. Echoing it was the wall between the two adjacent rooms, which was slightly shaking.
The battlefield between the two had already spread to the border of the wall.
This inn was well-decorated, and the quality of its pavilion was excellent. The fact that this thick wall could shake spoke volumes about the intensity of the battle on the other side.
This made her, who was prepared to meticulously consider the mystery of the ghost mites and didn’t want to lose face in front of You Su, unable to focus all night.
Dual cultivation is the path of evil, and lust is the most base desire of human beings.
Like many conservative and resolute female cultivators seeking the Tao, she firmly believed in the above views.
The half admiration she had last night for You Su had vanished without a trace.
Knowing that demons lurked in the dark and being in the critical period of assessment, yet still allowing oneself to drown in the pleasures of the flesh without the ability to extricate.
No matter how clever such a person is, he wouldn’t be a sword to eliminate evil. For desire is the simplest channel for demons to invade the human heart.
Ji Lingruo walked with some weakness, while You Su had a face of relaxed ease.
The girl took the wolfberry ginseng black chicken soup bought by You Su, her face a bit flushed;
"Who drinks this so early in the morning?"
Unexpectedly, You Su bought two bowls, taking a sip in front of the girl with a warm smile:
"It’s cold, drink something hot to warm up."
I think warming the body is false; supplementing the body is true, right?
Ji Lingruo pinched the soft flesh on You Su’s waist, being annoyed for last night’s arrangement.
Unbeknownst to her, because You Su returned from Jade Ring Pool, he made True Yang Sword Nurturing Spell his daily cultivation task, just for such a day. Otherwise, given her Snake Race talent, she shouldn’t have lost so disgracefully.
"Why don’t you also buy a bowl for Yiyi sister?" Ji Lingruo took a sip of soup, then glanced at Zi Yiyi with a look eager for drama.
Unexpectedly, You Su had another bowl from somewhere and smiled:
"Yiyi sister, have some too, you haven’t eaten yesterday, have some soup to fill up."
Ji Lingruo stared at You Su incredulously, as if to say:
Are you not a buddy? How are you so good at carrying water?
"No need, I didn’t do anything, not as hard-working as you two."
Zi Yiyi raised a hand to decline, her words laced with irony.
You Su felt somewhat shy and secretly regretted not learning a Sound Insulation Skill.
Ji Lingruo then slightly arched her eyebrows and grabbed the crock from You Su’s hand, saying: "Good you don’t drink it, I’ll drink two bowls by myself."
The girl was full of thoughts of her beloved now, wanting to mock him yet not truly having the heart to see him defeated.
Zi Yiyi remained silent at this, yet Ji Lingruo couldn’t actually drink two bowls of nourishing soup.
She casually glanced around the vendors and suddenly saw a little girl dressed in rags sitting on the ground shivering, still insisting on holding up a piece of paper with crooked letters, seemingly begging.
She walked with the soup toward the little girl:
"Little sister, have this bowl of hot soup. It’s bought just there, remember to return the crock after drinking."
Saying this, she also took out some loose silver and placed it in front of the girl along with the soup bowl.
The girl was about eleven or twelve years old, with somewhat rough skin; though it wasn’t quite deep winter yet, her ears had frostbite. Yet it could be seen the girl had the basis for beauty.
She naturally had noticed earlier this pretty elder sister delivering soup, quickly thanked:
"Thank you, fairy sister! Thank you, fairy sister!"
Ji Lingruo smiled gently, thinking that the little girl truly knew goods, thus feeling generous continued to ask:
"What’s written on this, not Five Continents text?"
The girl awkwardly lowered her head, "It’s Five Continents text, I, I haven’t read many books, so my writing is bad..."
Ji Lingruo knew she misspoke, quickly covered up saying:
"Sister was teasing you, sister can definitely see it. Let me take a look."
Ji Lingruo took the paper from the girl’s hand, racking her brains to associate the words on the paper with the words she knew, but still made no progress.
"A notice to seek sister."
The girl cleverly added a sentence.
Ji Lingruo looked enlightened, "Haha, I was also pondering it was those words..."
"My elder sister is named Qiao Xiuying, nineteen years old, tall and beautiful, from Valley Village outside Black Rock City. Came to Mo Ye City to work last July, has not returned home for nearly a year and a half, and completely lost contact half a month ago. If anyone knows her whereabouts, will be generously rewarded."
The little girl recited the notice flawlessly.
Ji Lingruo hadn’t expected, this girl was Qiao Xiuying’s biological younger sister.
Qiao Xiuying died being devoured by ghost mites, Mr. Xiang announced to the public that she was redeemed by someone, that a courtesan wasn’t willing to show her face, thus left quietly to avoid causing unrest.
A courtesan isn’t unique to a city; there will always be a more beautiful Cailing, so people cared little about Qiao Xiuying’s disappearance. But this vibrant life has family who cherished her.
"What’s your name?" Ji Lingruo asked gently.
"Qiao Xiuyun." The girl answered honestly.
"A very nice name." Ji Lingruo smiled warmly, "Xiuyun, how far is Black Rock City from here?"
"Black Rock City is to the west by the sea, how far exactly I don’t know, just know I rode the car for a long time." The little girl embarrassingly shook her head.
Ji Lingruo furrowed her brows; the Zhongyuan Continent is vast, she walked the route from the seaside to the inland more than once, knowing full well how long and difficult the road is.
"So far, did you come alone to find your sister?"
The girl nodded.
"Where are the other family members? How can finding people rely on only one child?"
The girl was silent for a long time, facing this fairy sister’s concern and sincere gaze; she finally spoke:
"Our family is poor; last year, my sister followed others to Mo Ye City to work to improve my life. She sent money home every month, and our life improved greatly. I told my sister to send less; it’s so hard for her as a worker, earning money wasn’t easy, she should keep some for herself. But half a month ago, she sent excessively, saying she found a good man outside, wouldn’t be back anymore. I didn’t believe, want to find her, but my parents told me not to; the journey is far, costs too much, better keep the money for growing me up. I don’t care about money; I only care about sister. Even if my sister plans not to return, I want her to tell me directly. So I stole the money and took a carriage all the way here."
Qiao Xiuyun recounted, not detailing the hardships on the road, using determined eyes to express her admiration and gratitude toward her sister.
Ji Lingruo was stunned in place; she also had a sister who silently contributed to her, thus deeply felt the girl’s obsession with her sister.
Naturally, an impulse arose; she wanted to help this girl find her sister.
