After descending the mountain, Elysia and Fu Hua looked at the place where they had disembarked from the aircraft.
As a gust of wind blew, a few fallen leaves were swept down.
"Where's the aircraft that brought us here?!" Elysia exclaimed, looking at the empty platform.
Fu Hua also frowned at this moment.
"Wait, I'll call Theresa!" Elysia quickly pulled out her phone.
After turning it on, she looked at the signal on the phone.
On the signal bar, there was now a large 'X' mark.
She tried her best to stretch her hand higher, but the 'X' showed no sign of disappearing.
"Hua, your Mount Taixu! Why is there no signal?!" Elysia quickly asked Fu Hua.
"Mount Taixu has a special magnetic field. Within the range of Mount Taixu, various telecommunication signals will be weakened," Fu Hua explained.
"Then what about the aircraft that brought us?"
"The device on the aircraft must be stronger than a phone," Fu Hua said, avoiding Elysia's gaze.
"Hua, why didn't you tell me this earlier?!" Elysia reached out to shake Fu Hua's shoulder, but she couldn't move her at all.
Elysia then gave up.
After letting go of Fu Hua, Elysia, feeling a bit disappointed, continued walking out of the mountain.
If she had known this, she shouldn't have gone up to the peak.
At this moment, Elysia really wanted to go back to when she was about to ascend the mountain and stop her past self.
But luckily, they were not far from the old house they had used for rest during their last visit to Mount Taixu.
Fu Hua followed behind Elysia. At this moment, she also didn't know what to say.
After all, due to the unique nature of Mount Taixu, hardly anyone ever came here.
After they had completely exited Mount Taixu, Elysia looked at the signal on her phone.
However, by then, they were almost at their resting place.
Elysia no longer had the idea of calling Theresa; it was better to rest first.
After a while, Elysia and Fu Hua walked into the old house, not seeing anyone.
Soon after, Miss Li, whom they had seen before, walked out from a corner.
But judging by her appearance, she had just woken up, as the marks from her pillow were still visible on her face.
"Lady Fu Hua, welcome back," Miss Li quickly walked up to Fu Hua.
"Sister Li, I'm sorry to trouble you at this hour," Elysia said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"It's nothing, Miss Elysia, but next time, I hope you can inform us in advance, as normally no one passes by here."
"Sister Li, there's no need to be so formal."
"Yes, Miss Li, just treat us as ordinary people," Fu Hua also said.
Miss Li looked at the two of them, "Then, please follow me."
Once they entered the courtyard, Miss Li let out a sigh of relief.
"Lady Fu Hua, Miss Elysia, please, next time, you absolutely must tell me in advance!" Miss Li's expression instantly broke.
"You suddenly arrived here, and I was just sleeping. My father gave me quite a scolding!"
"Um, Sister Li, we initially just came to find something, and then when we planned to go back, we had no transportation, so we came here," Elysia said, looking at the ground.
After all, from Miss Li's appearance, she knew how badly she had been scolded.
After hearing Elysia's words, Miss Li took two deep breaths and adjusted her emotions.
"I was rude just now, I'm very sorry," Miss Li apologized directly to the two after adjusting her emotions.
After all, her behavior just now, to use her father's words, was a great disrespect.
"It's alright, Miss Li," Fu Hua nodded. After all, this matter was indeed due to their side.
"Miss Elysia, please add my contact number. Next time you come to Mount Taixu, please inform me in advance." Saying this, Miss Li took out her phone.
After Elysia took out her phone and saved Miss Li's contact number, she asked, "Sister Li, will our direct arrival here have a big impact?"
Miss Li shook her head, "It has a big impact on me. Guarding this house is an idle position, and many people really want to come."
"If my father hadn't reminded me about today's incident, perhaps... someone would have replaced me tomorrow," Miss Li said with a sigh.
"So many people are willing to come here?" Elysia asked curiously.
"Of course! After all, we grew up listening to the stories of the Immortal Red Kite, and everyone really wants to meet the Immortal Red Kite in person."
"And this is an idle position, do you understand idle? It means that here, basically no one manages you. This is the job our generation of young people wants the most."
Hearing Miss Li's words, Elysia's mouth twitched, because such a job was indeed very enviable.
"That really is enviable," Elysia said with a smile.
"Lady Fu Hua, Miss Elysia, how long will you two be resting this time?" Miss Li asked after adjusting her emotions.
"Please wait a moment, I'll ask Theresa where the aircraft that brought us went." Saying this, Elysia took out her communicator and dialed Theresa's number.
Soon, the call connected.
"Hello, Elysia, what's up?" Theresa said after answering the phone.
"Theresa, did the aircraft that brought Hua and me to Mount Taixu go back?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Theresa asked, scratching her head on the other end of the phone.
"Excuse me, did you consider how Hua and I would get back afterwards?" Elysia's head seemed to have a '#' symbol appear above it.
"..."
A moment of silence came from the other side of the communicator.
"Theresa, did you forget that the two of us still need to go back?"
"..."
"Theresa?" Elysia looked at the signal on the communicator again.
"Well, how was I supposed to know that you and Fu Hua would be so fast? I thought, Elysia, you were going back to Mount Taixu to cultivate with Hua," Theresa said softly.
Hearing Theresa's words, Elysia sighed inwardly.
"It's my fault for not explaining clearly. Please, Theresa, help us apply for another aircraft," Elysia said.
"Mhm, should I arrange it for you now?" Theresa quickly said.
"Hua and I have a place to rest here. It'll be fine if they pick us up tomorrow," Elysia looked at Hua.
"Okay, I'll go tell logistics right away!" With that, Theresa directly hung up the phone.
Looking at the disconnected call, Elysia sighed.
This time, it really seemed to be her problem.
She seemed to have only told Theresa that she needed an aircraft?
"Sister Li, can we rest here today?" Elysia said after putting away her communicator.
"Yes, after all, this place was built here precisely so that Lady Fu Hua would have a place to rest," Miss Li said, looking at Fu Hua.
"Mhm, it seems I'm benefiting from Hua's presence," Elysia directly hugged Hua's arm.
"Thank you for the trouble," Fu Hua said to Miss Li.
