"What do you mean new or old? He made that especially for you." Bai Feng said as he walked towards them, taking small steps.
Bai Feng was much smaller than before; Shen Zhiyi estimated that he was about the same size as a dried fish from when he was a child.
"The master said you were coming to play, and he specifically instructed me to go and get someone to install a swing, saying that you would like it."
"What do you mean, 'You only replace it with a new one when the old one breaks'? Humph, what a sham!"
Bai Feng rattled off a string of words, completely exposing Nalan Zhao's true colors.
When Shen Zhiyi's gaze fell on Nalan Zhao, Nalan Zhao's ears quickly turned red.
"Bai Feng!" Nalan Zhao scolded, but still dared not look into Shen Zhiyi's eyes.
Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes and smiled, "Why didn't you say so just now? Were you embarrassed?"
Nalan Zhao coughed twice and stammered, "Sister..."
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Shen Zhiyi stopped teasing him for fear of making him angry.
Nalan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to open the door of the small building.
Bai Feng, lagging behind, curled his lip. His master was truly useless!
Nalan Zhao's residence was decorated in a warm and inviting style, just like Shen Zhiyi's.
"Sister, please sit down. I'll go get you some water."
Shen Zhiyi looked around and sat down in the living room.
Seeing that Nalan Zhao was heading towards the kitchen, Bai Feng scurried over to Shen Zhiyi's side.
She whispered, "Pretty sister, let me tell you, my master really likes you. His ears turn red every time he mentions you!"
"He also told his uncle that he wanted to stay in interstellar space with you, but his uncle didn't seem very willing? The two of them even had a fight."
Shen Zhiyi glanced at the kitchen, surprised that Nalan Zhao and Nalan had argued because of her.
"What else do you know?" Shen Zhiyi asked Bai Feng.
Bai Feng also glanced at the commotion in the kitchen, clearly afraid that Nalan Zhao would find out that it had said these things to Shen Zhiyi. "Master said he understands that you are just a player who came here to survive."
“He knew you would leave someday, but he didn’t want to give up, so he told his uncle that he wanted to follow you.”
Before he could finish speaking, Nalan Zhao came out of the kitchen with a glass of water.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Nalan Zhao placed the cup in front of Shen Zhiyi, then sat down beside her.
Shen Zhiyi glanced at Bai Feng and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask Bai Feng what fun things there are to do on Immortal Cloud Island."
"If you want to go out for a walk, I'll take you later."
"Okay~" Shen Zhiyi picked up the cup on the table, took a sip, "Did you put honey in it? It's quite sweet."
Speaking of this, Bai Feng started to feel envious, "This is the nectar of the Immortal Cloud Flower on Immortal Cloud Island. There are only a few small bottles of it a year, and I've hardly ever tasted it."
Shen Zhiyi nodded. No wonder there was a faint floral fragrance; it turned out that nectar had been added.
"Master, why won't you let me try some! I want the nectar of the Immortal Cloud Flower too!" Bai Feng started shouting.
Nalan Zhao looked over expressionlessly, "No, that nectar should be saved for my sister."
Bai Feng was stunned. It knew it! Its master was Chong Se!
Bai Feng continued to grumble, "I don't care! Aren't I your precious mount? What's wrong with giving me some nectar!"
Nalan Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "You don't have to be either."
Bai Feng almost choked on his breath. He's prioritizing women over friends! What a waste!
"Hmph!" Bai Feng didn't want to see its master, who valued women over friends, so it turned and ran away. "Pah! Men are just fickle!"
Nalan Zhao was speechless. She knew that Bai Feng was usually a bit dim-witted, so why was he acting like this in front of his sister? It was really embarrassing for him.
He touched his nose and explained to Shen Zhiyi, "Sister, don't become sworn brothers. Bai Feng is always like this."
"It's alright, he's quite cute." Shen Zhiyi smiled. "When we were still on the way, I thought Bai Feng couldn't speak or communicate, but I was too hasty."
Recalling Bai Feng's talkative mouth, Nalan Zhao fell silent.
"Sister, would you like to go upstairs and rest for a while?" Nalan Zhao asked.
Shen Zhiyi also felt a little tired, so she nodded.
Nalan Zhao led Shen Zhiyi upstairs, having already had the room tidied up before returning.
"Sister, you can sleep in this room. My room is right next door. If you need anything, just call me."
Nalan Zhao pointed to the room next door.
Shen Zhiyi nodded.
Nalan Zhao left the room without disturbing Shen Zhiyi any further.
Thinking about what her uncle had said on the phone, she rushed to where Nalan was.
“Uncle.” Nalan Zhao stood not far behind Nalan.
Nalan heard the voice and turned to look at him. "I don't agree with your decision to let go of Xianyun Island and her affairs, so please don't ask me again."
“I didn’t come here for this matter,” Nalan Zhao retorted.
Nalan was somewhat surprised. The last time they had a fight, Nalan Zhao left directly and was unreachable until a couple of days ago when he sent him a message.
"Nalan Ling is back?"
Nalan Ling, whom Nalan Zhao mentioned, was his aunt.
She could have become the Holy Maiden of Immortal Cloud Island.
However, Nalan Ling was too preoccupied with her own thoughts and too ambitious. The Heart-Mirroring Stone refused to let Nalan Ling touch it, and thus she lost the opportunity to become the Holy Maiden of Immortal Cloud Island.
Since then, Nalan Ling has become a different person, leaving early and returning late every day, and no one knows what she is doing.
Later, as her power grew, the number of people supporting her gradually increased.
Later, the power behind her gradually became comparable to that of Nalan Zhao's parents, but at that time, she did not dare to be too blatant.
Nalan nodded. "Yes, I'm back."
"However... we have no evidence to prove that Nalan Ling instructed Luo Qingyun."
They did find some information about the interactions between Nalan Ling and Luo Qingyun, but due to a lack of evidence, they had no way to demand an explanation from Nalan Ling.
"Luo Qingyun refused to say anything no matter what, and kept believing that Nalan Ling would save her. If she knew that Nalan Ling had really returned, she would probably cause a scene in prison."
Nalan sighed. This matter had been giving him a headache for several days. He had been on high alert to prevent Nalan Ling from seeing Luo Qingyun.
However, he suspected that Nalan Ling had already met Luo Qingyun in secret, and Luo Qingyun's attitude these past few days made him feel that something was wrong.
“Luo Qingyun is still on Xianyun Island. She wouldn’t dare to make any moves there.” Nalan Zhao paused, then added, “Moreover, Luo Qingyun has probably already been abandoned.”
“…” Nalan sighed, “If that’s the case, even if we pry Luo Qingyun’s mouth open, the information we get will probably be useless. Nalan Ling dared to treat Luo Qingyun as a pawn, so she must have made the corresponding preparations.”
"Alright, let's talk about this later. Tell me, what are you really thinking?"
