Liu Bao Ru shook her head, interrupting their conversation. ”You're thinking too simple, senior martial brother Yuan. Why would we need to investigate everything on our own? Let's just make a painting we can hand over to the Elders. Then we can explain the situation and they can have the others look out for similar signs in their areas tomorrow. We can also ask for their instructions on how to go about this if we don't have access to the other sites.”

Mei Chao Bing nodded. ”That is a good idea. Then I guess we should paint it? It is rather detailed though.”

Yi Ju turned to the other junior martial sister with an excited expression. ”Haven't you often drawn some herbs and stuff like that when you were on those missions before? You should be able to do this, shouldn't you?”

The girl nodded and Mei Chao Bing handed the paper and brush to her, while Yu Ju took back the mirror and sat down next to her so that she would be able to see the mural without trouble.

After a few minutes, everybody gathered around to take a look at the painting. Without having to look at a reflection, it was much easier to study the mural. That didn't mean it was easy to make sense of it though.

”That is …” Yi Ju looked up at Mei Chao Bing as if she was sure that he would know.

Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy. This was, after all, only a part of the whole.

Before Mei Chao Bing could give it a try, Song Mu narrowed his eyes and stepped closer. With a thoughtful expression, he finally tapped at a part on the right side of the painting. ”Doesn't this look an awful lot like the symbol of the Jian Chu Sect?”

Mei Chao Bing tilted his head to look more closely. There was indeed some resemblance between the small symbol in the mural and that of the sect. ”So this might be related to the Jian Chu Sect?” If that was true, it wouldn't be good. It might either mean that the Jian Chu Sect was in danger or that they were somehow involved in this. ”I think that we should go back to the town and report to the Elders at once. This matter is too grave to wait any longer.”

The others nodded and the group made their way back to the town, their expressions serious. Sometimes no news would be good news. Now, even though they had found something, the implications weren't good. They would've preferred it if they were wrong about this.
