“Young master, although you are the heir of a reclusive family, your cultivation level is still too low. The situation is urgent, and I have no choice in the matter. Rather than choosing you, I would rather directly serve a quasi-saint. This way, not only will my safety be guaranteed, but I might even become a quasi-saint’s disciple.”

"Oh. Since that's what Young Master Lin thinks, then I won't force you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your whereabouts," Yuan Zhexian said magnanimously.

"In that case, I thank you for your understanding, young master." Lin Yan desperately wanted to leave the room. The more upright and gentlemanly Yuan Zhexian appeared, the more uneasy Lin Yan felt. Without saying another word, he left the room and quickly departed.

As Yuan Zhexian watched Lin Yan leave, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

A few more days passed, and one day a woman with a face veiled by a silk scarf, a slender figure, and curvaceous curves appeared at the entrance of the "Juyuan" restaurant. She used the same tactics and language as Lin Yan had used, and was greeted by the same waiter. She then proceeded to the entrance of Yuan Zhexian's residence.

The woman took a deep breath, then gently knocked on Yuan Zhexian's door. Soon, Yuan Zhexian's exquisitely beautiful face appeared before her. Looking at his face, the woman's delicate cheek, draped with a silk scarf, flushed slightly, and her heart pounded rapidly. She immediately said to Yuan Zhexian, "Young Master, I've missed you dearly these past few days."

Yuan Zhexian also said, "So Zixuan has arrived. Please come in."

Previously, Yuan Zhexian had called her Miss Zixuan, but now that he was calling her Zixuan, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. He then entered the room and found that Yuan Ruochu and the other three were also inside.

He then said, "Did I come at the wrong time? What are you discussing?"

Yuan Zhexian also said, "It's alright, it's alright, Zixuan, you're not an outsider, it's alright."

When she heard Yuan Zhexian say that she was not an outsider, Zhao Zixuan felt that she must have been recognized by Yuan Zhexian, and she was overjoyed.

Then, Yuan Zhexian said without batting an eye, "Zixuan, I want to tell you something. We're about to return. Our original mission was to explore that mysterious space. Many powerful individuals who went in before perished. Later, we learned that only Young Master Lin Yan could safely enter that space. I spoke to Young Master Lin Yan about this, asking if he could take us in, but he probably felt we weren't worth his time and refused. So, this mission can be considered a failure."

At this moment, Zhao Zixuan asked anxiously, "What will happen if we fail and go back? Will we be able to come out again?"

Yuan Zhexian continued his nonsensical ramblings with a straight face: "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. But one thing is certain: if this mission fails, I might never leave again and will remain in the clan forever."

"Isn't there any other way?" Zhao Zixuan asked, her mind in turmoil.

Seeing that Zhao Zixuan was anxious, Yuan Zhexian quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Yes. It just depends on whether you are willing to help me, Zixuan."
