Sinful!
If Nalan Su had merely been annoyed before, now he was completely dumbfounded.
What in the world was going on?How could the Cloud Sect Master and his daughter both fall for the same man?They were… teacher and student!
Nalan Su's head buzzed like a hive of bees. He wanted to ask more details, but considering Yun Yun's status, he could only swallow his shock and curiosity.
"May I ask, Sect Master Yun, when will Yanran come out of seclusion?"
At this point, Nalan Su didn't care about anything else—he just wanted to see his daughter as soon as possible.
"I can't say for sure."
Yun Yun's eyes carried a hint of heaviness.
"The closed cultivation was her own decision, and choosing to seal herself off completely makes it unpredictable. When she'll come out—or even if she'll be able to—depends entirely on herself."
"If Patriarch Nalan is worried, you may stay here in my Yunlan Sect."
"..."
Stay?
Yun Yun's words left Nalan Su speechless. How could he, the mighty patriarch of the Nalan family, possibly stay here?
Would he just abandon his household?
But then he imagined returning home and telling his old father that his granddaughter and her teacher had fallen for the same man—and Nalan Su instantly felt his backside tighten in terror.
"Sigh~"
Nalan Su let out a long sigh.
"Sect Master Yun, I came here mainly to understand what happened. Since I've learned the situation, I should head back down the mountain and report to my father."
"If Yanran comes out of seclusion, please tell her to return home for a visit."
"Of course."
Yun Yun nodded slightly, then watched Nalan Su's departing figure as she murmured softly:"So anxious to have Yanran return home… it seems the poison in Nalan Jie's body has worsened again."
"No one can do anything about the poison in Nalan Jie's body."
Just then, a man dressed in luxurious robes walked in from outside.
"Not even you can do anything?"
Yun Yun's beautiful eyes landed on him as she asked softly.
The man clasped his hands behind his back, his expression helpless.
"I can only suppress it for now. But once it breaks out again, he will surely die."
Hearing that even this man said so, Yun Yun could only sigh faintly.
"In any case, we absolutely can't let him die while Yanran is still in seclusion. When you have time, please make a trip there."
"Alright."
The man nodded, his gaze locking onto Yun Yun. In his eyes, admiration and affection burned openly—without a hint of concealment.
If Qi Yan'er had been present, she would definitely have said:
"Look, an old bootlicker!"
——————
In the quiet forest, a large group of people moved forward in silence.
Countless vigilant eyes scanned the surrounding trees. Their hands gripped their weapons tightly, ready to face any sudden danger.
"Yan'er little sister, why did we bring so many people with us?"
Xiao Yixian looked around at the familiar mercenaries and asked curiously.
"Of course we need this many people!"
Qi Yan'er's large eyes sparkled shrewdly as she giggled."To find that cave, if it's just us few, who knows how long it would take?"
"Since Sister Xiao Yixian is famous in Qingshan Town, we might as well make use of that and bring more help~"
Hearing that, both Xiao Yixian and Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly.
This little sister's ideas were always so unexpected.
While others feared crowds when treasure hunting, she… directly gathered an entire army!
The two women looked around at the dense crowd of mercenaries. These were practically all the mercenaries in Qingshan Town!
"Father, that little girl's name seems to be Yan'er!"
As members of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, naturally they had joined this treasure-hunting team too.
The one who spoke was none other than Ling'er—the girl Qi Fan had met before!
"Sigh~"
Ka Gang sighed softly and said,
"Silly child, there are plenty of girls named Yan'er. And didn't you hear them say 'Qi Yan'er'? That senior was named Xiao Fan—how could father and daughter have different surnames?"
"Hm?"
Though their conversation was quiet, Qi Yan'er's sharp perception picked it up perfectly.
Her eyes immediately brightened.
Senior Xiao Fan?
Fan!
"This big sister, who's the Xiao Fan you just mentioned?"
Qi Yan'er hopped over, her twin ponytails bouncing as she tilted her head curiously at Ka Gang and Ling'er.
"Uh…"
Ling'er looked helplessly at the little girl before her, who carried the air of a young noble miss.
They had been at least twenty meters apart, yet she'd heard every word?
What a monster!
Ka Gang quickly stepped forward, smiling as he explained:
"Miss Yan'er, the person we mentioned is a senior we met outside the Magical Beast Mountain Range a few days ago."
"If it weren't for his warning back then, we would've entered blindly—and the consequences would've been disastrous."
"Outside the Magical Beast Mountain Range, huh~"
Hearing that, Qi Yan'er's face instantly lit up. The answer was clear in her heart.
"Miss, I remember now! They were the ones I met when I delivered a message to that senior!"
Hearing Ling Ying's transmitted words, Xiao Xun'er's face darkened.
Now you remember?
They already said "outside the Magical Beast Mountain Range" and that he's surnamed Xiao—did you really need to say it?
"Heehee~ So you're all my father's friends!"
Qi Yan'er giggled, her bright eyes scanning Ling'er from head to toe.
That gaze… like a hunter studying her prey—but it vanished in an instant.
Too young!Too young!
"Father?"
Ka Gang, Ling'er, and the mercenaries around them were stunned.
"You—you're really that senior's daughter?"
"Of course~"
Qi Yan'er's little face beamed with joy."Don't I look like my father?"
As soon as she said that, Ka Gang and the others examined her carefully, then nodded vigorously.
"Indeed! Especially the eyes—you can't see through them at all!"
"Pfft~ Haha~"
Qi Yan'er burst into laughter at Ka Gang's comment.
"Uncle Ka Gang, I mean our looks~"
"Did you see where my father went after that?"
Ka Gang shook his head.
"I don't know exactly, but when he left, it seemed he was heading toward Black Rock City."
"Black Rock City?"
Qi Yan'er frowned slightly."What would Father be doing in Black Rock City? So strange—when I don't run away from home, he stays put. But once I do, he starts wandering around everywhere!"
Unable to figure out Qi Fan's reasoning, Qi Yan'er didn't dwell on it.
"Uncle Ka Gang, do you know any caves in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"
Ka Gang thought for a moment, then replied:
"I do know a few caves, but there doesn't seem to be any treasure in them."
"I see~ Then I'll trouble you all to keep looking!"
Qi Yan'er stuck out her tongue playfully, then swept her gaze across all the mercenaries.
"Everyone! Whoever finds the cave I'm looking for will get a chance to join the Mittel Family!"
"Hiss~!"
Everyone gasped in shock.
The Mittel Family—that was one of the Three Great Families of the Jia Ma Empire!
Joining the Mittel Family meant soaring to the heavens!
Far better than living as mercenaries in Qingshan Town!
"Uncle Ka Gang, Sister Ling'er—you two have to work hard too~"
As she spoke, Qi Yan'er winked playfully at Ling'er.
"Um…"
At that moment, Ling'er bit her lip and said softly,
"Miss Yan'er, I actually know of a cave. I discovered it by accident once, but I was too scared to tell anyone."
"Really? Where is it?"
Qi Yan'er's eyes lit up with excitement. She grinned and said,
"Sister Ling'er, can you take me there?"
