The largest inn in Jingyang City is the Xianyun Inn.
Outside a superior guest room.
"Senior Sister Lu, why don't you stay in the guest rooms of my family? With the protection of my family's experts, you'll be safer."
With his delicate features and seemingly harmless demeanor, Ye Chen stood before Lu Ziling, who was dressed in a purple dress and had her face veiled in purple gauze, and spoke with a kind expression.
"Junior Brother Ye, there's no need to trouble yourself. There are also powerful people guarding this inn, so there won't be any danger."
Lu Ziling gently shook her head and said.
A month ago, after leaving the sect with their master and several junior sisters, they split into three groups and went to various cities to search for Chi Yuan's whereabouts.
Right now, she, Su Ningyan, and Ning Wan'er have finally found their way to Jingyang City, where Ye Chen's family is located.
“Senior Sister Lu, we are like brothers and sisters, so why bother with anything? In the sect, the senior sisters have always taken good care of me, and I have never been able to repay them. Now that you have come to my home, can’t I at least show you some hospitality?”
Ye Chen said with a sincere expression.
Lu Ziling's eyes flickered upon hearing this. If it were before that incident three years ago, she probably would have agreed to stay in the guest room of Ye Chen's family without hesitation, and she would definitely have been very happy about it, feeling that Ye Chen treated her better than her senior brother.
However, now...
Lu Ziling mentally simulated the reactions she might have had three years ago, and felt terrified. Such a reaction was completely abnormal. If it weren't for the serious shock caused by her senior brother's matter, she would probably still be trapped in this dazed state.
"No need, Junior Brother Ye. The three of us sisters are all unmarried women. Staying at your house might affect our reputation. We don't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."
Lu Ziling said indifferently that her master had repeatedly told them to be wary of others before they parted, but she felt that the person they should be most wary of was this junior brother.
She couldn't imagine how terrible it would be to fall back into that obsessive state.
"Well... okay then."
Ye Chen couldn't persuade Lu Ziling any further, so he had no choice but to give up.
He was secretly a little disappointed. He had originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to be a good host and win over the three senior sisters, but things went wrong right after he started his apprenticeship.
But that's alright, there will be plenty of opportunities. I believe that as long as he puts in the effort, he will eventually make a breakthrough with his three senior sisters!
With a quick thought, Ye Chen took out three invitations and presented them to Lu Ziling with a smile, saying, "Senior Sister Lu, my eldest sister's auction house is holding a large-scale auction recently, which will be attended by many important figures from Jingyang City. I know you are eager to find your senior brother, so I asked my eldest sister for three invitations. We can take advantage of the auction to seek help from those important figures, which will greatly increase our chances of finding our senior brother."
"Junior Brother Ye, you're very kind."
This time, Lu Ziling did not refuse and accepted the invitation from Ye Chen. She did need to borrow manpower from those powerful forces to find her senior brother's whereabouts.
This was also part of their planned strategy; otherwise, with their limited manpower, how long would it take to find their senior brother?
"You should go back first, Junior Brother Ye. We will attend the event."
Lu Ziling gently dismissed him, not wanting to have any more contact with Ye Chen. She always felt that there was an invisible force in Ye Chen influencing her.
"Then... I'll be going now. Senior Sister Lu, if you need anything, just come to the Ye residence and find me. Don't be shy with me."
Ye Chen had wanted to spend more time with his three senior sisters, but now that he couldn't linger, he had no choice but to give up and leave.
Lu Ziling closed the door, cast a soundproof barrier to seal off the entire room, and then sat down at the round table in the middle.
"This Ye Chen is definitely up to no good!"
The pretty and innocent Ning Wan'er tightened her small face, her expression full of disgust.
"We must always be wary of others, even if he is our junior brother, we cannot be careless."
Su Ningyan said that she had naturally realized something was wrong over the past three years, and was now very wary of Ye Chen.
"Sigh, if only he hadn't shown up..."
Lu Ziling sighed sadly, recalling the wonderful time she spent with her senior brother before Ye Chen appeared. Her heart ached. Even if they found their senior brother, could they go back to the way things were before?
Su Ningyan and Ning Wan'er also looked grief-stricken. When their senior brother was around, they had taken his kindness for granted and felt that everything was just a matter of course. But it wasn't until their senior brother disappeared from their world that they realized how precious and rare the things they had taken for granted were.
Some things, you only realize how important they were in your life after you've lost them...
"Senior brother..."
Ning Wan'er tightly hugged the doll symbolizing her senior brother to her rather large chest, wishing she could find him immediately and pour out her love to him, letting him know that he was the most important person in her heart!
...
Outside the backyard of the Wenren Mansion.
Hearing Rong Xinya's words, Wenren Bingying was furious. She couldn't care less about maintaining the ladylike image in front of Chi Yuan and sneered, "Rong Xinya, you are really shameless. You say you're sisters, but you're actually plotting to steal him away. Can't you see my feelings for Young Master Fufeng?"
You Rongxinya smiled bitterly and said seriously, "Bingying, I really consider you a sister. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you so clearly. I don't mean for you not to compete with me, but I just want to compete with you fairly. I don't want to steal your beloved behind your back."
"Ha, steal my beloved? You really think highly of yourself. Do you think you can just snatch Young Master Fufeng away like that?"
