Holding the ancient zither, Wan’er, accompanied by two maidservants, vanished from everyone’s sight.
Once Wan’er disappeared, Zhou Quan was puzzled and asked, "Saint Heir, this Wan’er has always been mysterious, never revealing her true self. With your strength, why don’t you simply uncover her veil and take a look?"
The mother mountain Saint Heir shook his head, saying, "I am the Saint Heir; how could I do such a thing?"
In truth, in the mother mountain Saint Heir’s mind, the image of the two won behind Wan’er erged. Those two won appeared like maidservants yet brought him a sense of danger. How could he dare to forcibly unveil soone?
Precisely because of the two maidservants behind Wan’er, the mother mountain Saint Heir refrained from acting recklessly; otherwise, why would he be apprehensive of a re young woman?
Wan’er entered a courtyard that appeared ordinary from the outside, yet inside it held the aura of a formidable presence.
A middle-aged man stood within the courtyard: "Has that Ye Fentian arrived?"
Wan’er shook her head, "Intending to lure that little fish, only a swarm of shrimp ca instead."
The middle-aged man chuckled, "No rush, Ye Fentian believes his identity is unrevealed, yet unbeknownst to him, we already know about him. However, we can’t afford to be too slow; once his power reaches a certain level, he will fully unleash the power of Ge Tian’s legacy, then he’ll be challenging to deal with."
Wan’er nodded, "I understand, this is our family’s opportunity. As long as we capture him and seize his fortune, our family will rise, and may even produce a cosmic-level powerhouse, becoming the new Ge Tian."
"Indeed, this opportunity arose from Wan’er, indicating that the heir of Ge Tian might not necessarily be that Earth native, perhaps it could be Wan’er, who knows." the middle-aged man said.
"Father, rest assured, I will definitely capture Ye Fentian. When we obtain Ge Tian’s legacy, who in the ancestral land would anticipate that Ge Tian’s teachings had actually fallen into our family’s hands?"
"When that ti cos, even super sects will have to show us respect, truly looking forward to that day." The middle-aged man couldn’t help but fantasize.
Wan’er’s eyes filled with cold smiles, no longer the gentle and tender gaze she showed when facing many Loose Cultivators today.
"Father, I’ll go check on that little ant; she mustn’t die. Without her, how else would we have known that Ye Fentian is Ye Qiu?" Wan’er said.
The middle-aged man gestured with his hand.
Soon, Wan’er entered a basent.
The basent was dark, filled with a vile and nauseating stench; it was hard to imagine people were held inside.
Clatter...
With Wan’er’s entrance, the sound of clattering chains was heard. In the darkness erged a pair of eyes, sowhat dim. But judging from the contour, the person bound by chains was not lacking in beauty.
Sizzle, sizzle...
As the fire ignited, the basent was no longer shrouded in darkness, becoming bright.
Wan’er touched her nose, slightly disturbed by the sll, then sat on a chair, eyes fixed on the prisoner before her.
"You..." The person bound in chains had a sowhat grimy face, yet regardless of appearance or figure, one could see this was a woman.
If Ye Qiu were here, he would be quite shocked because he knew this woman, even very familiar with her. He had been saved by her in the past. Without her, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have beco an Alchemist.
This woman was none other than Tang Surou, the only daughter of Tang Heshan from the ancient Tang family.
But who would have anticipated Tang Surou would end up here, in such a state?
"We et again." Wan’er said calmly.
"It’s you, you vicious woman..." Tang Surou looked at this seemingly gentle and charming woman before her, whom she once regarded as a sister. Who could have known such a person would stab her in the back, even search her soul?
"I’ve co here to tell you so good news; you might like to hear it. Want to know?" Wan’er said with a smile that carried a chill, like a serpent’s gaze.
Tang Surou did not speak. Compared to the counterpart, she was too kind, too trusting of others, or she wouldn’t have ended up like this.
The aircraft was attacked, and everyone dispersed.
Her father, Tang Heshan, died, while Elder Tang Li sacrificed himself to save her life. Of the Tang family, only Tang Surou survived.
When Tang Surou awoke, she realized she’d co to an unfamiliar world, where Wan’er was the first person she encountered.
Tang Surou learned about this world from Wan’er, yet it was this very Wan’er, the seemingly gentle sisterly figure, who changed her deanor upon discovering her identity as not being from the ancestral land.
Afterward, Tang Surou was subjected to a soul search and then imprisoned in this basent, unable to move.
Seeing Tang Surou glaring at her, Wan’er laughed, slowly rising, stepping closer: "You know what’s funny? I heard about soone; you seem to know this person."
"Now, what’s his na again, Ye... Ye Fentian... yes, Ye Fentian!"
Tang Surou remained unresponsive; she didn’t know any Ye Fentian.
Seeing Tang Surou’s indifference, Wan’er was unbothered and continued, "This na isn’t familiar? But if you connect Ye Qiu and Dugu Fentian’s nas, do you know now who this person is?"
Swish.
Sure enough, Tang Surou’s eyes flickered because she knew the person was Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu takes the single ’Ye,’ Dugu Fentian takes ’Fentian,’ combining into a new na, Ye Fentian. Isn’t this a coincidence?" Wan’er smiled.
"Impossible; he can’t be here. He should still be on Earth." Tang Surou was incredulous.
Wan’er was indifferent, "Believe it or not, I think this Ye Fentian is likely Ye Qiu, and I found this Ye Fentian to be very mysterious, as if he just appeared out of nowhere without any roots. Are these also coincidences?"
"If the Taiyi Sacred Sect and Demon God Sect knew Ye Qiu had another na, Dugu Fentian, would they frantically search for Ye Fentian?"
Tang Surou looked at Wan’er’s expression, her heart chilled, feeling the assertions were not false. Could it be that Ye Qiu has also arrived at the ancestral land?
If true, then Ye Qiu is indeed in danger because this vicious woman would undoubtedly seek every ans to deal with Ye Qiu.
Wan’er laughed heartily, the laughter echoing in the basent like a demon, then suddenly stopping: "Fear not, I won’t spread this ssage. He has so many valuable things; how could I let others know? Rest assured, it won’t be long before I bring him here for you two to et."
