"We searched everywhere for you, but it took quite a while."
Yan An smiled slightly, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, "In the past few years, I have traveled all over the world, first to the Mortal Realm, then to the Savage Ancient Land and the Yin and Yang Realm."
Hearing the words "Yin Yang Realm," Yan Xin couldn't help but look surprised. "Yin Yang Realm? How did you find that place?"
"According to ancient texts, it's a place where souls are reincarnated!"
Yan Xiaoxiao, who was sitting nearby, looked bewildered. Blinking her eyes, she asked curiously, "What on earth is this Yin-Yang Realm?"
"Why have I never heard of this?"
When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to Yan An.
So, everyone started a heated discussion around the topic of the Yin and Yang realm, with everyone talking at the same time, and the words flowed like a tide.
Only Yan Ping remained silent, just listening to everyone's conversation and nodding occasionally.
After the banquet, Yan An and Lu Jingzhi left quietly.
They walked side by side, through the bustling courtyard, and headed towards the back mountain of the Yan family.
Along the way, neither of them spoke, only the stone pavement under their feet made a slight sound.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
I saw a winding and ancient staircase extending upwards along the mountain.
The surrounding area is lush with trees and green grass. The air is filled with the fresh fragrance of plants and trees, and the pleasant chirping of insects can be heard from time to time.
Yan An gently held his strong and powerful arms, and her apple-red cheeks, as beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in spring, nestled on his broad and warm shoulders.
"Madam, I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something strange about your cousin." He hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to express the doubts that had been buried in his heart.
Yan An raised her head slightly, blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at him, asking in confusion, "What's strange?"
"I suppose he just doesn't like you."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi paused, then held her soft and boneless hand tightly, slowly turned around, so that the two of them were facing each other.
His brows knitted slightly, a hint of worry flickering in his deep eyes. "I don't think it's just that he dislikes me."
"My dear, I always feel like he's jealous of you, and his feelings for you are probably more than just those between an ordinary brother and sister."
Hearing this, Yan An couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief, his cherry lips slightly opened, and he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long while, she asked back, "Are you...are you serious?"
"How is this possible? Then...how did you figure out all this?"
Lu Jingzhi hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and continued to explain, "Well...it's actually more of an intuition, coupled with the emotional changes he showed today."
"For example, sometimes when he sees us together, he unconsciously reveals a look of loss and dissatisfaction on his face."
"And the way he sometimes looks at you, that kind of passion and attachment doesn't look like the way a brother should look at his sister."
Having said this, Lu Jingzhi paused again, gazing at Yan An with a probing gaze. "So, my lady, how did you get along with him in the past?"
After a brief thought, Yan An recalled every detail of the past, "Well... he used to be my follower."
"Wherever I go, he basically follows me like a tail, and I can't shake him off."
"I introduced Feng Xi and other sisters and friends to him before, but he didn't seem to like them."
"Besides, he would chase away those who pursued me, which gave me a lot of peace and quiet."
"Damn it, I keep touching your belly. It seems my guess is probably right." After hearing Yan An's words, Lu Jingzhi became more certain of his thoughts.
"What do you mean by touching your belly? Why don't I understand?"
"Madam, keep your distance from your cousin and be careful."
Seeing Lu Jingzhi's serious expression, Yan An chuckled, "Just rest assured."
"My dear lady, you are so good. I will reward you with a kiss."
"Humph, it's obviously a reward for you."
"Then give me a reward."
Yan An pulled his hand away and quickly took a few steps up. "I'll give you a reward if you catch me."
"Okay, you said it, hehehe... I'm going to chase you, and if I catch you, I'll hehehe..."
He rolled up his sleeves and chased after him...
Yan Mansion——
Outside Yan Ming's room——
Yan Xiaoxiao, who had eaten and drunk her fill, passed by Yan Ming's room and heard a deep, ethereal, and unfamiliar voice, "You said Yan An is back?"
Then, Yan Xiaoxiao squatted by the door with her ear pressed against it.
"Well, she won't be able to escape now."
"That's good. You must leave her at the Yan family. I will notify Master Gu and Master Mei to come. By then, everything will be under control."
"In this way, you will be able to naturally take the position of Patriarch of the Yan Family and enjoy supreme power and glory."
The two looked at each other and laughed, their laughter echoing in the air, making people shudder.
"Hahaha...our cooperation this time is truly seamless."
"Indeed, as long as we can successfully capture Yan An and catch the whole family of three, then I can rest easy."
