"Young Master..." The visitor was speechless.
There are other people in this house, so the young master released the information.
Helian Xiao waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright, it's alright, they're all family. Besides, look at this family, they seem so honest and straightforward, do they look like the kind of people who would leak information?"
Meng Wanwan turned her eyes to Meng Xiuyi.
Meng Xiuyi looked down at her nose and then at her heart.
Trust came too suddenly, like a gust of wind.
This made the father and daughter feel a little guilty.
After all, the additional information about the malevolent energy reminded Meng Xiuyi and Meng Wanwan of the sudden disappearance of Lanqiao.
However, Meng Wanwan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Uncle is right."
Helian Xiao glanced at her: "Not including you."
Meng Wanwan...
Is it racial discrimination?
What a dog!
After kicking the visitors out, Helian Xiao said, "I was originally planning to discuss the matter in the painting with you, but it seems I have to go on a mission."
Meng Wanwan clapped her hands and said enthusiastically, "Hey, we're old friends, right, Uncle? Any trouble? Do you need our help? My dad!"
Meng Wanwan pointed at Meng Xiuyi with both hands: "Amazing!"
Looking into Meng Wanwan's bright, expressive eyes, Helian Xiao chuckled, crossed his arms, and looked at her, saying, "I suspect you have ulterior motives."
Meng Wanwan shook her finger: "No, you're not doubting me, but your own ability to judge people."
Helian Xiao rolled his eyes at her: "Nonsense, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. We'll be heading back to Xiaoshanyou soon. If you're free, stay here for a few more days and have some fun in Jiutian City."
He sighed again, saying helplessly, "I thought that after completing this task of appreciating paintings, I could rest for a while, but I didn't expect to be back so soon. I must make the most of my time back in Xiaoshanyou."
Helian Xiao strolled out the door.
As soon as he left, Meng Wanwan immediately looked at Meng Xiuyi: "Father?"
Meng Xiuyi's expression changed from gentle to thoughtful: "Let's go take a look."
Meng Wanwan nodded repeatedly and began asking Niannian about Xiaoshanyou.
The door opened, and Chu You and Yun Zhao rushed in.
"Master, what happened?" Yunzhao asked.
Meng Wanwan took out the pendant and used her spiritual power slightly, and the family returned to the space.
Meng Xiuyi told the two brothers everything that had happened.
Meng Wanwan asked with a grin, "Senior brother? Are you ready?"
Yun Zhao pursed his lips, looking at her warily: "Did you and Niannian discuss something strange again?"
Meng Wanwan waved her hand and said smugly, "Hey, what do you mean by weird things? Niannian is just a useless encyclopedia. I'm the one who comes up with the ideas."
She put her hands on her hips and said, "Besides, didn't we exchange glances at the Shangguan family?"
Yun Zhao frowned: "What did you discuss?"
Meng Wanwan mimicked Yun Zhao's meaningful gaze, then raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you telling me, 'Look, these people will definitely target us, so let's strike first,' right?"
"My expression is a reply to you: Great minds think alike!"
Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Junior sister, I was just warning you. I'm watching you. Don't do anything reckless."
Meng Wanwan...
Are you two really that uncoordinated?
Niannian instantly transformed into a beam of white light and landed on Meng Wanwan's shoulder. Its delicate voice was filled with grievance: "Are you being reasonable? When has Niannian ever encouraged its master to do anything dangerous?"
Yun Zhao clearly had no intention of reasoning with them, but instead looked to Meng Xiuyi for help.
Meng Xiuyi affectionately stroked Meng Wanwan's fur, which was about to stand on end, and asked her, "What do you want to do with the baby?"
Meng Wanwan's eyes began to light up as she looked at Yun Zhao.

Xiaoshanyou is an organization, and can also be considered a sect led by a family.
The leader of Xiaoshanyou has always been the Helian family. Legend has it that the founder of Xiaoshanyou, who is also the ancestor of the Helian family, was a wind spirit root.
Xiaoshanyou was originally an obscure refugee camp, established after the war between gods and demons, which is why it attracted many cultivators.
After being conquered one by one by the Helian family, they were divided into different factions and departments, and took on the responsibility of marketing to support Xiaoshan You's life.
Among them, the Helian family was responsible for the "household registration clearance".
The so-called "cleaning up notice" is to clean house for those sects. But the premise is that Xiao Shanyou must investigate those people's affairs thoroughly, without any concealment, and then write them down in the cleaning up notice and publish them to the world.
No one knows where this "clearing household notice" rule came from, but among the people still alive today, the oldest ones already had "clearing household notices" when they could remember.
Even though some people questioned Xiaoshan You's overstepping his bounds, Xiaoshan You has always done things his own way. As long as you're not afraid of losing face, come and avenge your scumbag disciple. They're waiting.
Based on the practice of "clearing household notices," the Helian family also possessed a sophisticated ability to collect information. As a result, when some people encountered problems they couldn't solve, they would go to the Helian family for help.
This is why the Han family approached Xiaoshan You.
Helian Xiao flew away on his sword.
Over the years, the Bai family members have become increasingly difficult to kill. He now possesses a Bai family member's corpse and must hurry back to exchange it for a reward.
As soon as Helian Xiao left, the people who had been hiding around the Helian family mansion all showed relaxed expressions.
Li Dao coldly looked at Bai Changxue, who was peeking around, and asked, "Are you sure the Scroll of All Heavens is in the hands of the Meng family?"
Although Li Dao's strength is not very high, only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he is still one of the four major sects representing the righteous path.
In recent years, due to bad luck and depletion of resources within the sect, the Shanglin Sect has bred many lawless individuals, making it notorious throughout the Nine Realms Continent.
But even at its worst, it's still much better than the Baili family, which everyone hates.
Therefore, he felt a natural sense of superiority when facing Bai Changxue.
Bai Changxue pursed her lips, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
However, his tone remained gentle: "I am certain that after my young lady was killed, Helian Xiao took the box from her and gave it to that little maid in Meng Xiuyi's household."
Li Dao sneered, "You're just a Nascent Soul cultivator, and you just watched your young lady get killed by Helian Xiao? You're utterly useless!"
Bai Changxue gritted her teeth and swallowed the urge to strangle him.
However, he did not correct the error in Li Dao's words.
When he finally caught up with his mistress's scent, Bai Meng was already dead, and he didn't even see who had killed her.
However, judging from the murderous aura emanating from Bai Meng, it is not Helian Xiao.
But is it necessary for him to explain to these people?
If he could return to the Bai family now, why would he associate with this bunch of good-for-nothings?
He smirked and said, "Master Li, why don't you take some time to experience Helian Xiao's wind spirit root? A top-grade water and fire dual spirit root can only mutate into a wind spirit root under extreme conditions, and it's a once-in-a-millennium occurrence."
Li Dao's face darkened instantly. He snorted and cursed, "Useless!"
Bai Changxue gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger.
Once he gets what he wants, he'll definitely kill this idiot.
Just then, a message arrived.
"Master, Meng Xiuyi's eldest disciple has left."
Li Dao asked, "Where are the others?"
"They didn't come out."
Bai Changxue frowned, then said jokingly, "He probably came out to buy things. Meng Xiuyi is quite a good father. I heard him say that he has to cook for his kids. It's truly amazing."
A hint of disdain flashed in Li Dao's eyes: "They're just rogue cultivators on the mortal path. Since that's the case, we don't need to bother with them. We'll just wait here, and once they come out, we'll make sure they never leave."
However, they waited for two days.
After Yunzhao left, no one else came out of that house.
Li Daoxian couldn't sit still any longer. Avenging his fellow disciples was a small matter, but the matter of the Heavenly Scrolls had been confirmed by Bai Changxue, a member of the Baili family, and he was determined not to give up.
So he personally infiltrated the Helian family to investigate. However, after triggering all the mechanisms in the Helian family's house and being beaten up, he discovered that not only the Meng family, but even the last chicken in the house had been eaten two days ago.
"Meng! Xiu! Yi!" Li Dao realized he had fallen into a trap and roared, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Spiritual medium, send a message! Tell those guarding the road to give chase! Chase them!"
