Chapter 91: Chapter 091: It’s Been a Long Time Since Someone Called Her Sister-in-Law

She was unsure, so she secretly concentrated to inspect the situation within her space and felt that there was no difference from before. She thought it shouldn’t be an issue with the space, especially since she hadn’t collected anything recently, except for the Little Peach Tree.

But what sort of storm could a tree stir up? She didn’t think that was the case.

If it wasn’t this, and it wasn’t that, then what exactly was the problem?

As she walked along, lost in thought, she didn’t notice the protruding tree root in her path and accidentally tripped over it. A young warrior behind her quickly grabbed her.

After steadying herself, Su Shu said gratefully, “Thank you.”

The worried warrior said, “Sister-in-law, we will find them.”

Su Shu paused, and the warrior, noticed by her, blushed slightly.

It had been a long time since she had heard anyone call her “sister-in-law.” By the time Su Shu realized it, her face couldn’t help but flush a bit too.

To join them on the mountain, she had told a little lie, claiming to be Tang Zelin’s fiancee. Now, hearing the warrior calling her sister-in-law, even she felt her cheeks burning fiercely.

Embarrassed, she responded, “Hmm, we will find them.”

This unexpected incident had interrupted her thoughts, and it wasn’t until she had walked for a while that she abruptly remembered the matter of the ring.

But now, the ring on her hand was no longer hot, and perhaps that was why she hadn’t thought of it.

Suddenly stopping, she secretly touched the ring to feel its temperature and looked back along the path she had come, her eyes thoughtful.

The ring was not hot, but it had clearly been scorching a moment ago. Why?

After thinking for a while, she suddenly started walking back, and a warrior followed behind her, somewhat confusedly passing by her side. When someone saw her turning back, they couldn’t help but ask.

“Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”

Su Shu said, “I’m going to check something. I’ll be right back.”

Seeing this, the warrior following behind said, “Let me accompany you then. It’s dangerous to straggle behind.”

“Thank you.”

Su Shu felt she might be overthinking it, but perhaps her guess was wrong. She secretly sensed the ring’s temperature and returned to the spot where it had become hot earlier and stood still.

The warrior behind her looked around and asked, “Is there something wrong here?”

Surrounded by forest with no branches broken by external forces or anything particularly unusual, the area didn’t seem like a place where someone could be.

Su Shu didn’t speak, waiting for a while. Maybe she was overthinking things, and just as she decided to leave after having stood there in vain, suddenly,

the ring heated up again.

There must be something wrong with this place! Su Shu thought.

Whatever the problem was, her ring wouldn’t react randomly. There must be some situation nearby, or around this area.

Su Shu looked like she was searching for something. The warrior beside her, sensing something amiss, shouted to the people ahead to call the other teammates back. Group Captain Zhao, returning with his team, saw Su Shu intensely searching for something, and immediately ordered everyone to thoroughly search the nearby area to see if there was any further information.

“Yes!” All at once, they spread out in a circular pattern.

Everyone searched the nearby trees and shrubs. Su Shu squinted, distinguishing between the temperatures at different spots as she searched.

Although the difference was subtle, she still felt a variation in intensity. She thought, if the ring grew hot in this area, perhaps the closer she was to the target, the hotter it would get.
