Wu Heng stood on the shore until he could no longer see the ship the girl was on, and then he finally looked away with red eyes.
"Hey, Ah Heng, put it down." Wu Xingjie walked forward, sighed, and patted his son's shoulder. "Miss Ye is not the same as you."
In other words, there are very few people in the world who can match such a talented and brilliant person. Even if Wu Heng grows up to be an outstanding adult, he will probably be just an ordinary person, and is destined to be on a different level from this person who shoulders the heavy responsibility of saving the world.
"I know." Wu Heng's emotions have calmed down a lot. Along the way, maybe he couldn't figure out his own feelings at first, but later he understood what love was, and then he despairingly found himself in love with someone he could never catch up with.
Even today, when the sea breeze blew over and he saw Xiao Yunting tying up her long hair, he finally had to admit that two people like that were a match made in heaven.
So, "As long as I become her junior apprentice, I will have a reason to see her for the rest of my life."
Even if he is not the closest person, he is content.
Ye Lan had no idea what the boy was thinking. After returning to land, she followed Xiao Yunting to a villa under his name.
As soon as she entered the room, she spoke first, "Go take a shower first."
Xiao Yunting paused as he was closing the door, and his usually cold eyes glanced at her with a hint of weirdness.
Ye Lan said calmly without turning around: "Don't say anything to spoil my fun."
Xiao Yunting: "..."
It's getting weirder and weirder.
But he thought about it and realized that he really couldn't win if they fought, so he could only take his clothes and go into the bathroom to do it.
At this time, Ye Lan opened the medicine given by Wu Xingjie in the house. When he was about to start processing it, the cell phone on the table rang.
Ding-a-ling.
The caller ID showed that it was from Elder Xuanzong.
"Hello."
"Thank God you didn't disappear. God knows I couldn't get through to you on the phone. Senior Sister almost went crazy and was ready to wipe out the entire Xiao family at any time."
As soon as the call was connected, Lian Cheng's voice on the other end came rushing over, even more tense than a sect war.
Ye Lan was confused: "???"
What does not being able to contact her have to do with the Xiao family?
After she told him that her cell phone had no signal in Peach Blossom Island, someone on the other end finally answered the call.
Nan Xu had just adjusted her breathing, and her voice was still unsteady. "Hello, clan leader, is that you?"
She couldn't help but confirm it again.
"It's me." Ye Lan felt helpless and a little sad.
Because the great battle within the sect left an indelible shadow on everyone.
The elders have the deepest feelings for her, and now they also have symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome. The most important thing for a cultivator is to be firm in their original intention. If their original intention is unstable, if they make a mistake and fall into the devil's heart, their cultivation will be destroyed.
Nan Xu obviously knew this, and after recovering, she even complained to her junior brother Lian Cheng, "You're such a snob. Clan leader, don't worry. I know my own body well. Also, the confession of the person in charge of the Hunter District has come out, and there's nothing wrong with him."
Seeing the topic shift, Ye Lan didn't insist and replied calmly, "The person he ordered to deal with the black market before shouldn't be him."
Selling drugs that enhance martial arts skills on the black market and hiring killers to kill people, targeting Xuanzong, is the most important clue in the investigation.
"But if it's not him, how should we investigate next? The black market follows the Hunter District, so the two are obviously inseparable."
"Yeah, I know." Ye Lan knew what Nan Xu meant. He caught a glimpse of the medicine bag on the table and suddenly had an idea. He said, "Or I can give you a little gift that will allow you to conduct your investigation in the Hunter District openly."
"That's great. We are curious about this place. It is said that the largest black market trading market of the year is about to begin, and we want to play there for a few days before leaving." Nan Xu believed in the words of his family head and had even thought about what clothes to wear when visiting the market.
Ye Lan hung up the phone, processed the pills, and contacted a courier to deliver them to his door expeditiously.
After dealing with all this, I found that there was no movement in the house.
Puzzled, she walked over and knocked on the bathroom door, then asked in a neutral tone, "Are you avoiding me?"
“…”
There was silence inside for three seconds, and then there was a click, and the bathroom door was opened.
Xiao Yunting, wearing a bathrobe and covered in moisture, walked out with half-wet hair. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. Looking down at his handsome face, one could see the smooth lines of his chest, which was faintly rising and falling.
Ye Lan looked around, raised his eyebrows slightly, and gave a very pertinent evaluation, "You've been in good shape recently."
Xiao Yunting's heart twitched, "..."
What kind of rogue statement is this?
If an ordinary person dared to look at him like this, his eyes would have been ruined long ago.
But this person was Ye Lan, so he had no idea what to do. He could only laugh and cry, waiting for orders from the other party, wondering what to do.
"Let's go." Ye Lan hooked her finger, motioning him to follow her.
Xiao Yunting looked at her slender and graceful back, his throat rolling up and down, and he felt a slight headache.
Five minutes later.
Boss Xiao was lying on the bed, his body as stiff as a corpse. As he looked up at the ceiling, he couldn't help but doubt his life.
"What's with that expression?" Ye Lan's subordinates skillfully used their internal energy to acupuncture him, manipulating dozens of golden needles with ease while still chatting with him. "You seem a little disappointed."
Xiao Yunting, who was covered in needles, said: "..."
He didn't.
