She had never seen a few people who could talk to them like this, let alone the younger generation.
"I see, no worries, we were just casually asking."
Clan Chief Tai Wen smiled in response.
"Lord Tai Falu, Lord Tai Wen, I also want to ask you sothing."
"Go ahead!"
Old Clan Chief Tai Falu responded with a smile.
"Do you know where Lord Mokduo is? Is he in Saint Joex?"
Su Ming politely asked.
Old Clan Chief Tai Falu and Clan Chief Tai Wen, upon seeing Su Ming inquire about Mokduo, suddenly had gleaming eyes.
"Sorry, Mr. Su Ming, that old fellow Mokduo, I haven’t seen him in a while. Thus, I don’t really know his current whereabouts. Do you need to find him for sothing?"
Old Clan Chief Tai Falu asked with a smile.
"Lord Long Chen and I visited him not long ago, but he wasn’t ho. So I thought to ask around."
Su Ming could sense that Tai Falu and the others were hiding sothing from him.
But as the saying goes, knowing but not saying.
"Naturally."
Clan Chief Tai Wen smiled in response.
At this point, Old Clan Chief Tai Falu slowly stood up and said.
"Ah~ I’m getting old, forgetting things easily. I have so matters that I forgot to attend to, Tai Wen, co with to handle them. Mr. Su Ming, leave it to the young ones to entertain you."
"Alright!"
Tai Wen got up and responded.
"Sorry, Mr. Su Ming, we’ll take our leave first."
Old Clan Chief Tai Falu said to Su Ming.
"No problem, take care."
Su Ming replied politely.
Old Clan Chief Tai Falu then led Clan Chief Tai Wen out of the hall slowly.
Su Ming watched the backs of Tai Falu and Tai Wen leaving, frowning.
He could sense that they were deliberately avoiding him, not wanting to continue the conversation with him.
At this mont, Xia Lan excitedly said to Su Ming.
"Su Ming, you’re really amazing! I didn’t expect you’d handle my grandfather so easily."
"Hehe, just okay."
Su Ming smiled in response.
"To show gratitude, I’ll definitely treat you well tonight!"
Xia Lan said brightly to Su Ming.
At this mont, Long Ying ca over. She saw that the two clan leaders wouldn’t say anything, couldn’t get any information from the Shenji Family, and Xia Lan and Vivian were being so attentive to Su Ming, she felt a bit concerned, so she said to Su Ming.
"Su Ming, it’s getting late. We should go back, so Grandpa won’t worry."
"Hmm, Xia Lan, Vivian. It’s getting late, we won’t disturb you any longer."
Su Ming pondered for a few seconds and replied.
Today, he was out with Long Ying to gather information, and if they didn’t return late, Long Chen might think sothing happened.
"Leaving so soon, not staying a while longer?"
Vivian asked with a slight movent in her eyes.
"Yes, it’s not often you visit us."
Xia Lan said with an expression full of reluctance, trying hard to persuade them to stay.
"No, maybe next ti."
Su Ming replied with a smile.
"Alright, then let’s exchange contacts and et again another day?"
Vivian didn’t persist further.
"Okay."
Su Ming nodded.

Deep in the Illusion Light Star Sea.
Pamie floated before the furnace-like Constant Star.
At this mont, the Golden Spark burning inside the star flickered, followed by an ancient, majestic voice.
"Pamie, how did things go?"
"Sorry, clan leader, the mission failed. We didn’t see Long Xian. Moreover, the attack on the Third Planet was disastrous; Aimont died in battle, and ifas was captured."
"Pamie, your recent work has been increasingly poor, very disappointing to !"
"However, our insider went in and t Long Xian. We learned from him that Long Xian is not dead and is still breathing."
"I don’t want hearsay; I want you to see it firsthand!"
"It’s due to my incompetence; please punish, clan leader."
Pamie quickly admitted fault.
At this mont, within the chanical Clan Leader, a confined Purple Spark erged, and imdiately the entire Purple Spark felt gripped tightly.
"Ah!"
Pamie imdiately showed a very painful expression, with dense cracks appearing all over his body, as if about to disintegrate.
Just then, the chanical Clan Leader released the pressure.
Pamie’s body instantly relaxed, coming back from the edge of death.
In reality, all core mbers of the chanical Clan have their tal Sparks partially held by the chanical Clan Leader, with their lives hanging in the balance at the leader’s whim. This greatly limits Pamie and others from fully exerting their potential, which is different from Chilami.
"Pamie, I will give you one more chance; investigate thoroughly for ! I don’t care whether Long Xian is dead or alive; what matters to is whether he has rged with that thing. I want you to see it firsthand, not hear it from others."
The chanical Clan Leader said to Pamie.
In reality, the chanical Clan Leader dared not tread into the Federation not rely out of fear of Long Xian, but truly worried about Long Xian rging with that thing.
If Long Xian indeed succeeded in rging, then attempting to confront him would be walking into a trap.
"Yes!"
"Rember, if you let down again, you have no reason to exist."
"Understood, clan leader."
Pamie replied hoarsely.

Next day.
Inside the Shenji Family.
Xia Lan and Vivian stood in the garden, feeding the Dragon Carp in the pond.
"Sigh."
Xia Lan appeared listless.
"Sixth sister, didn’t you handle the matchmaking thing? Why do you look depressed?"
Vivian asked with a smile.
