Nangong Ling'er continued, "According to the information Jiang Yining gave, the man named Qiu Xinghen is proficient in the Ghost Path. It is clear that someone like him is going to the Northern Border. If it weren't for the Xuehan Blade Sect guarding the border, I estimate that no one would even be willing to go to Yanyun City on the border, a place that even the human race has abandoned."
Xiao Yuhan shook her head. "But I've heard that there are still people active in the Northern Border."
"Of course there are. Most of them are outlaws. People die for money, just as birds die for food. After all, that was once the territory of the Northern Barbarian Dynasty. It is said that even the general known as the butcher could not find the wealth accumulated by the Northern Barbarian Dynasty. It is likely that there are still many treasures under the land of the former Northern Plains."
Xiao Yuhan sighed, "The once beautiful Northern Plains have become the Northern Border, a place only inhabited by vengeful ghosts and the dead..."
Nangong Ling'er was silent for a moment, "I was afraid that Qiu Xinghen had ulterior motives for going to the Northern Border, so I went with him this time."
"By the way, junior sister, has your sword been repaired?" Xiao Yuhan asked.
"No, it can't be repaired. I just picked a random sword from the Sword Tomb, as long as it works."
Xiao Yuhan nodded. "Besides us, are there any other people going this time?"
"Although this trip is dangerous, we can only bring a few capable disciples at most. Although the sect has not suffered any damage this time, we still need to leave people to guard the sect. I will lead the team this time. Senior brother, you can just come along!" Nangong Ling'er said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan nodded, thinking that such a thing didn't matter, and then asked again, "So, how many people do you plan to bring?"
Nangong Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "No need for too many, I'll just bring Ai Yue along."
"Why Ai Yue? Then..." Xiao Yuhan hesitated, then suddenly remembered that after what happened before, Chen Yanxue had tried to escape the sect but was captured by the Blood Lotus Sect disciples. So he asked, "How was Chen Yanxue's matter finally resolved?"
Nangong Ling'er shook her head and sighed, "She escaped. She was secretly rescued by Zuo Huaixin, a disciple of Senior Brother Liu Jiantang, and now she can't be found."
"What?! Why haven't I heard about this?" Xiao Yuhan asked.
At this moment, Bai Yao, who was not far away, reminded, "In the past, it was always Senior Brother Li Qianyun who relayed things to Master. Yao'er thought Master already knew about this!"
Xiao Yuhan seemed to be thinking for a moment, then said, "Yao'er, from now on, I'll be entrusting the affairs of the Discipline Hall to you. Can you do a good job?"
The little girl smiled slightly and immediately agreed. She seemed to be thinking about something, and her joy was written all over her face.
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er said, "Regarding Chen Yanxue, I investigated it later and found that she was not closely related to the Demon Sect's operation. She seemed to have come for Chen Gongming, but I don't know the specific reason. Never mind... she's already gone, so I don't want to say anything more. Let it be. I wouldn't be willing to kill her myself!"
Xiao Yuhan didn't respond to that. He had always known that his junior sister liked that little girl, so it was hard to say whether Zuo Huaixin had rescued her or his junior sister had deliberately let her go. However, none of this concerned him.
"Junior sister, then tell me, when do we set off?"
"There's still about a month until the fifteenth of next month. It will take about ten days to get to the Northern Border by flying on our swords. Shall we set off tomorrow? Anyway, the sect doesn't need us for the time being!"
Xiao Yuhan nodded in agreement. Upon hearing this, Bai Yao hurriedly prepared to leave. Xiao Yuhan, seeing her expression, knew the girl wanted to pack her things and come with him, so he immediately stopped her. "Stop! Where are you going?"
"Yao'er, go pack your clothes!"
"I'm not taking you this time. Have you forgotten what I just said? You readily agreed to take over the affairs of the Discipline Hall, didn't you?" Xiao Yuhan said with a smile.
Bai Yao then realized what was happening and whispered, "Yao'er wants to go too..."
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er smiled slightly: "Senior brother, Yao'er's strength has now reached the Nascent Soul Realm as well. Bring along those who can help!"
At this moment, Bai Yao quickly led Nangong Ling'er away before the New Year, asking, "Little Martial Aunt, are you hungry? Yao'er will go and make you something delicious."
Seeing Bai Yao's expression, Xiao Yuhan snorted, "Yao'er, are you not listening to your master? The Northern Border is dangerous... You are not allowed to go!"
Bai Yao looked at Nang Gong Ling'er with a wronged expression, pleading, "Junior Martial Aunt..."
