~7 min read 1,281 words

Shi Yanran’s face flushed, her eyes filled with shy reluctance as she whined, "I don’t want to."

Having left Meiyue Company, Ye Luo received a call from Nie Yuntian who had found the whereabouts of that Miaojiang expert and immediately drove there.

Arriving at an old, somewhat dilapidated house in the suburbs of Zhonghai, Ye Luo saw Nie Yuntian anxiously waiting there.

"Uncle Nie," Ye Luo briskly walked over and spoke to Nie Yuntian.

"Ye Luo, you’ve arrived. The Miaojiang expert who kidnapped Wen Ling and her sister is inside, and Wen Yu and her sister must be inside as well," Nie Yuntian said urgently, pointing to the old house before them.

Ye Luo used his Clairvoyant Eye to scan the house and frowned slightly, "Uncle Nie, there is indeed a Miaojiang expert in the house, but Wen Ling and Wen Yu are not here."

"What? How is that possible? How do you know?" Nie Yuntian looked at Ye Luo, his face a picture of shock.

"We’ll see once we go in," Ye Luo responded and walked straight towards the house. He kicked the door open and stepped inside, fixing his gaze on a Miaojiang man sitting inside with a Miao Knife beside him and an austere expression on his face.

"Where are my two daughters?" Nie Yuntian rushed in, quickly scanning the room only to find no trace of his daughters, Nie Wenling and her sister. His face darkened, his eyes conveying urgent distress as he glared at the Miaojiang man.

"They’ve already been taken to Miaojiang ahead of time. I’ve been waiting here for your arrival, to capture you and bring you to Miaojiang as well," the Miaojiang man said coldly, his gaze sweeping over Nie Yuntian.

Nie Yuntian’s face went pale, he exclaimed in disbelief, "What? You’ve taken them to Miaojiang, you—"

Nie Yuntian’s face was full of anger, his eyes sinking with a worried look.

"So you’re the one who destroyed my Miaojiang Gu Insect, Ye Luo?" The Miaojiang man directed his gaze at Ye Luo and spoke.

"Oh, looks like you know who I am," Ye Luo chuckled.

"Anyone who opposes Miaojiang must die."

A murderous glint burst forth from the Miaojiang man’s eyes. His body moved swiftly, and he grasped the Miao Knife, slashing fiercely at Ye Luo, who quickly dodged. The blade’s Qi tore open a deep gash in the ground.

Whoosh!

The Lingyun Soft Sword unsheathed, its Sword Qi rampant, shooting out towards the Miaojiang man with piercing ferocity.

With just one strike, the Miaojiang man was forced back repeatedly. Though they were both at the Innate Middle Stage, there was a vast difference in their strength.

The Miaojiang man’s eyes flickered with astonishment, watching Ye Luo as he seemed taken aback by Ye Luo’s power.

"Give me back Wen Yu and Wen Ling."

Nie Yuntian’s eyes burned red with fury as he roared, his hand gripping the long sword and slashing fiercely at the Miaojiang man. The latter’s expression tightened, and he swung the Miao Knife.

The Miao Knife clashed with Nie Yuntian’s long sword, the burst of True Qi forcing Nie Yuntian to stagger back, caught by Ye Luo.

In that moment, the Miaojiang man seized the opportunity to dash out, leaving behind a single sentence.

"If you want to see your daughter, come to Miaojiang," and then the figure disappeared before his eyes.

"My two daughters, I’m sorry, it’s all Dad’s fault for harming you," Nie Yuntian wept copiously, lamenting.

"Uncle Nie, don’t be so pessimistic. The way the other side talked just now makes it clear that Wen Yu and her sister are temporarily safe. They just want to lure you to Miaojiang," Ye Luo reassured.

Nie Yuntian’s expression lit up, and he said, "Right, their goal is indeed to target me. I’ll go to Miaojiang right now, no matter what, I must rescue Wen Yu and Wen Ling."

Ye Luo quickly grabbed Nie Yuntian, saying, "Uncle Nie, don’t be impulsive. With your strength, you can’t even handle that person from before, let alone penetrate deep into Miaojiang and rescue the Wen sisters. This will only lead to all three of you dying."

"Then what should we do? Do we just leave Wen Yu and the others in Miaojiang? The Second Elder won’t let them off," Nie Yuntian said with a face full of worry.

Ye Luo’s eyes shifted, and he said, "Uncle Nie, wait for me for two days. After I deal with the matters here, I’ll join you on the trip to Miaojiang."

"What? You’re going to go to Miaojiang with me?" Nie Yuntian looked at Ye Luo in surprise, somewhat astonished.

"Yes, Wen Yu and Wen Ling are considered friends of mine after all. I naturally can’t just sit by and watch them be in trouble. It’s also a good chance to see what kind of existence Miaojiang really is," Ye Luo said, his eyes sparkling with sharpness.

His strength was difficult to increase now, so he did indeed need to gain some experience. After all, it wouldn’t be long before the internal selection of the Special Security Bureau took place.

At that time, he would have to face the geniuses from the Tian Group. With his current strength, it wasn’t sufficient. Miaojiang had always been mysterious, and he naturally wanted to see it for himself.

"No, Miaojiang is mysterious and dangerous. Any strong person who enters it has difficulty coming out. If you go, you will likely face a near-certain death. I can’t sacrifice your life because of my two daughters," Nie Yuntian shook his head, speaking.

"Don’t worry, Uncle Nie. I’m a lucky person. Nothing will happen to me. It’s settled then. You rest for two days and wait for my news. Then we’ll head to Miaojiang together," Ye Luo stated decisively.

Nie Yuntian, seeing Ye Luo’s firm demeanor, didn’t say anything further, only letting out a sigh.

After parting with Nie Yuntian, Ye Luo went to Ling Corporation.

"Boss, Manager Li was looking for you just now. He asked you to stop by," Hei Zi popped out and said to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo glanced at Hei Zi and said, "Looks like you haven’t disappointed me, kid. You’ve really broken through to the Innate Realm."

Although Hei Zi was keeping his aura concealed now, Ye Luo knew that he had broken through to the Innate Realm and that his whole body had been improved by bone washing and marrow cleansing.

"Boss, what I’ve done is nothing. Hu Zi is even more freakish than me. He soared straight to the Innate Middle Stage, once again surpassing me," Hei Zi said with a touch of helplessness.

Ye Luo was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Hu Zi to not only break through from the Houtian Peak to the Innate Realm but also to step into the Innate Middle Stage. It seemed that Hu Zi’s talent was also not simple.

"Keep up the effort, and you will become even stronger," Ye Luo patted Hei Zi on the shoulder and went straight into the elevator, arriving on the 25th floor, he headed to Li Wanqin’s office. Around a corner, Chen Yaowen emerged with a sly smile on his face, heading towards Qing Ya’s office.

"President Chen, is there something you need from me?" Qing Ya was writing something when she looked up to see Chen Yaowen walking in and spoke.

"President, I just saw Vice Chief Ye. He seemed to sneak into Manager Li’s office, and I’ve seen him going there quite often these past days. I don’t know what it’s about. Do you know anything, President?" Chen Yaowen asked calmly, his gaze unintentionally drifting toward Qing Ya.
