"Huh?" Now it was Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun's turn to be surprised. "You're the son of Lord Wangwu?"
“Indeed, I am the second son in my family.” Wang Neishi opened a fan and fanned himself slightly, displaying a rather elegant demeanor.
"I've heard so much about you..." The two women marveled at the serendipity of life.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wang Neishi returned to the previous topic: "What is it that you two young ladies want to see my father about? Why don't you tell me? Although I am not very talented, I have learned a few skills from my father and may be able to help."
Xie Daoyun replied, "We are looking for our lost companions."
"Oh, may I ask what your companion's name is, and what his distinguishing features are?" Wang Neishi asked with a smile.
Xie Daoyun then gave a general account of the characteristics of Zu'an and the others.
Wang Neishi suddenly narrowed his pupils and said casually, "The young lady and that Zu An must have a very good relationship, which is why she went to such lengths to find him."
Before Xie Daoyun could answer, Yun Jianyue preemptively replied, "Zu An is her sworn brother, and Qiu Honglei is her sister-in-law. Now that they are scattered, she naturally wants to find them as soon as possible."
Xie Daoyun was slightly taken aback. Her first reaction was that the other party was deliberately making her relationship with Zu An clear in front of her in order to help her disciple.
However, she immediately changed her mind. After getting to know him over this period of time, she knew that he was not the kind of person who held grudges, and there must be a reason why he said that.
Seeing Wang Neishi's expression, she quickly realized that with so many beautiful wives and concubines around him, he was obviously a lecherous man who was only helping them because he was attracted by their beauty. If he knew they were looking for his man, how could he still care?
They might even deliberately conceal the fact that they found out about Zaun.
"Yes, my sworn brother and sister-in-law have always treated me very well. Now their fate is unknown, and I can't eat or sleep properly every day." Xie Daoyun said, unable to hold back her tears.
Yun Jianyue couldn't help but take another look at her. This woman was usually quiet and reserved, but she was surprisingly good at acting.
As expected, upon hearing her say this, Wang Neishi's furrowed brows relaxed, and he instead comforted her, saying, "Miss Xie, there's no need to worry. Your brother and sister-in-law are blessed with good fortune."
Xie Daoyun immediately raised her head, her large, watery eyes looking at the other person: "Young master, can you help me find them?"
"This..." Wang Neishi chuckled awkwardly. He knew that the world was so vast, how easy was it to find a few people? If they were famous people, it would be fine, but he had never even heard of those people.
"Don't worry, young lady, I will send someone to inquire for you."
"I see. Then thank you very much, young master..." Xie Daoyun said somewhat listlessly.
Seeing the beauty's expression, Wang Neishi naturally knew that his previous answer was somewhat perfunctory. He gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, young lady, come back to Wangjiawu with me. My father has a special talisman that can search for people and find things. I will ask him for help then."
"Really? Then thank you very much, young master." Xie Daoyun immediately became excited, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
Yun Jianyue, who was standing to the side, smiled slightly. Why did this little girl have such a sassy attitude?
The atmosphere became cheerful, and the group quickly started chatting. Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun subtly inquired about information regarding Wangjiawu, while Wang Neishi also asked about the two women's past.
Before they knew it, time had passed, and soon a servant came to report: "Second Young Master, you have arrived home."
Wang Neishi nodded, then said to the two women, "Please rest at my humble abode for the night, and I will introduce you to my father at dawn tomorrow."
He prided himself on being dashing and debonair, so he wouldn't do anything inappropriate to a beautiful woman right from the start.
"Thank you, young master." Xie and Yun nodded slightly.
Soon, a maid came and led the two women to their guest room. Along the way, the two women quietly explored their surroundings. Wangjiawu was built against the mountains and by the water, with several rivers flowing through it. Boats of all sizes were moored everywhere, showing that water transport was the main mode of transportation here. No wonder it was named after a dock.
On the contrary, flying boats like Wang Neishi's are very rare, which means that such things are quite precious and rare even in Wangjiawu.
Even at night, the magnificent architecture of Wangjiawu is still evident, and it resembles a large city more than a family gathering place.
Seeing the shocked looks on the two women's faces, the maid felt a sense of pride and honor: "Ladies, even if you look at the whole world, there are probably few places that can compare to our Wang family."
Sensing the disdain in her eyes, Yun Jianyue was somewhat displeased.
Xie Daoyun tugged at her hand, then looked at the maid with a smile: "Sister, along our journey we've seen nothing but ruins and desolate villages. Even the towns we occasionally visit are utterly dilapidated because ghosts roam everywhere. The atmosphere here is so different. Don't you have any ghosts causing trouble here?"
“Those ghosts dare to do that!” The maid’s voice suddenly rose several octaves. “Our master is the most senior elder of the Shenxiao Sect. You know the Shenxiao Sect, right? They are the best at exorcising ghosts. What were those ghosts thinking to come here to die?”
"Moreover, the Wang family is full of talented people. Almost every well-known power in the world has members of the Wang family holding official positions. Those who remain in the stronghold are even more skilled. No one, whether human or ghost, dares to provoke us."
Xie Daoyun and Yun Jianyue exchanged a glance; the Wang family was even more powerful than rumored.
However, the more powerful they are, the more likely they are to find Zaun and his gang.
At this moment, the maid was probably quite pleased because the other party called her "sister," and added, "Also, let me remind you, our master is not as easy to talk to as the second young master. He definitely won't agree to help you."
