'Could something have delayed her?'
Zhao Zuo's anxiety grew. He took out his Communication Jade and spoke softly.
"Taoist Friend Shen, have you run into trouble? Do you need my help?"
His voice echoed in the air, but he received no reply. It was as if his words had vanished into the endless void, causing not a single ripple.
After speaking, Zhao Zuo held the Communication Jade and waited patiently for an answer. But his words were like a stone sinking into the sea; a long time passed with no response. A sense of unease began to creep in. He worried that Shen Yunjiao might have encountered some danger, yet he tried to suppress this feeling with reason.
Zhao Zuo waited and waited. Finally, he decided to get up and head to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast.
He took out some Spirit Rice and cooked it, pairing it with the pickled vegetables he usually ate. But the taste was slightly different from usual, perhaps because his Heart Realm had changed.
