Listening to this character change that seemed just like Qianxi, Xiao Yifei thoughtfully nodded, it seemed that Qianxi was like this because, more than half, it was due to Qianxi's mother.

"May I know your wife's name?" Xiao Yifei asked the man in front of him. Upon hearing this, the man calmly uttered two words: Ci Xin. "It's just that I don't know where she is now." The man continued.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei frowned, realizing that Qianxi's mother was missing. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up." Xiao Yifei said somewhat apologetically.

Upon hearing this, the man waved his hand to Xiao Yifei, indicating it was no big deal. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei thoughtfully nodded, and after a while, he asked Uncle Hua one last question.

"Then Uncle Hua, would it be convenient to tell me where Qianxi's mother went missing?"

"Cloud Town." The man said slowly, "The last time I received news of her, it was there." Hearing these words, Xiao Yifei nodded. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he left.

On the way home, Xiao Yifei kept thinking about the man's words. Thinking over and over, Xiao Yifei felt that Qianxi's mother was most suspicious. First, her character changed dramatically, then she mysteriously disappeared. It seemed he had to start with Qianxi's mother. Thinking this, he hurried back to Hua Mansion today.

"Cloud Town." Back in his room, Xiao Yifei also kept thinking about Cloud Town, as mentioned by Qianxi's father. After careful consideration, he decided he must visit this place because he was sure that Qianxi's personality change was definitely related to her mother, and the clues about her mother could only be known from this place.

So, Xiao Yifei decided to leave for Cloud Town the next day. Thinking of this, he went to Old Hua's side, spoke to him, and then went to find Liu Rui.

Xiao Yifei sought Liu Rui in the hope that Liu Rui could ask Qianxi to help dissolve Sisi's Inner Strength, which would save him a lot of trouble on this trip. After that, Xiao Yifei handed over the medicine needed for the next few days to Liu Rui, instructing her to brew it. After giving all the instructions, Xiao Yifei went back to rest, as he had a long journey the next day.

The next morning, after casually taking some things, Xiao Yifei set out. Cloud Town is located in the Northwest of Beijing, within the Deep Cloud Gorge. The gorge's terrain is rugged, and without being a local, it is impossible to enter, let alone find the village. Thus, the name Cloud Town originated from this.

However, to help Liu Rui investigate Qianxi, Xiao Yifei went there without hesitation. After approximately a morning's journey, Xiao Yifei arrived at the mouth of the Deep Cloud Gorge.

The canyon was filled with demon winds, making it hard for Lin Mu to open his eyes. The whole gorge was composed of countless remnant walls and broken bricks, with the only color being the hue of the rocks; Xiao Yifei could hardly see any other colors.

At the entrance to the gorge, there was also a winding road leading into the gorge. Occasionally, a few vehicles would enter or exit through this road. Xiao Yifei only had a backpack, making it very convenient to move. He randomly stopped a van on this road and asked.

"Driver, are you going inside?" Xiao Yifei stood beside the car and asked the man in the driver's seat. At this point, the man in the car rolled down the window, revealing a lean man.

"Yes, why?" The man looked at this handsome man in front of him, then looked at his bag, having a rough idea of what he was here for.

"Could you give me a lift?" As he spoke, Xiao Yifei pulled out a pack of slightly better cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, and handed it to the man with a smile. Although Xiao Yifei didn't smoke, having a pack of cigarettes in his pocket made things easier when out dealing.

Seeing this, the man took the cigarette that Xiao Yifei handed over without hesitation and, smiling, let Xiao Yifei get in the car. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei got into the man's car.

"Brother, are you a local?" On the way, Xiao Yifei also asked out of curiosity. The man nodded, then asked Xiao Yifei, "Why, brother, are you here for tourism?" As he spoke, the man skillfully turned the steering wheel, turning past a complicated bend in front.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Ah, no, I'm here to find someone."

"Find someone?" Hearing that Xiao Yifei was looking for someone, the man rubbed his chin and said, "Who are you looking for? Maybe I know them." Hearing the man's words, Xiao Yifei's eyes lit up. If the man in front of him knew where Ci Xin was, he wouldn't have to go to so much trouble.

However, Xiao Yifei thought too simply. When he talked to the man about Ci Xin, the man didn't know where she was. However, though the man didn't know where Ci Xin was, he still gave Xiao Yifei an important clue.

The man said that while he didn't know where Ci Xin was, he had heard talk of her several years ago. It was said that several years ago, she had a conflict with someone, which escalated into a big fight, during which she severely injured the person. It was also said that Ci Xin appeared to be quite skilled.

Hearing the man's description, Xiao Yifei also had a rough idea, especially learning that Ci Xin was highly skilled. He guessed that Qianxi's Skill was mostly inherited from her mother. Xiao Yifei thought.

"Do you know where the person injured by Cixin is?" Xiao Yifei asked, smiling, raising a crucial question. The man nodded and said, "I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei quickly thanked him. So Xiao Yifei took this ride to a house. The house had an old-fashioned architecture. In fact, all the buildings here seemed quite old-fashioned, but the one he was taken to was particularly shabby, clearly a place built by those who weren't very wealthy.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Yifei thanked the man once again. The man was quite generous, waving his hand as if to say no need to be polite, then drove away. After the man left, Xiao Yifei knocked on the house door.

After waiting outside for a while, the dilapidated door slowly opened, revealing a small head peering out, a pair of big and bright eyes curiously looking at Xiao Yifei.

"Who are you looking for?" the little girl asked cautiously. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Are your parents at home? I have something to discuss with them."

"Xixi, who is it?" An old voice came from inside the house. Hearing this, the little girl turned her head and shouted inside, "Grandpa, I don't know him."

Standing outside the door, Xiao Yifei heard the little girl call for her grandpa, and he speculated whether the grandpa she was referring to was the person injured by Ci Xin?

As it turned out, Xiao Yifei's speculation was correct. A few minutes later, a hunched old man slowly pulled the little girl behind him and stood before Xiao Yifei. This was the grandpa mentioned by the little girl.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Xiao Yifei immediately confirmed that this was the person injured by Ci Xin. The old man's face was extremely sallow, and he was unable to stand up straight, clearly someone long troubled by internal injuries.

"May I ask whom you're looking for?" The old man's voice was somewhat hoarse, accompanied by caution toward strangers. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei politely cupped his hands, "I'm looking for you." After saying this, Xiao Yifei looked at the old man's reaction.

As soon as the old man heard that Xiao Yifei was looking for him, he became even more cautious, "What does an old man like me have to be sought for? If there's nothing, I'll go back inside." As he spoke, the old man was about to close the door.
