Chapter 412: A Unique Way of Expressing Gratitude

Su Zi walked up to Ye Guan and whispered, "Do you know him?"

Ye Guan nodded. "If he didn\'t lie, their leader should be someone I know."

Su Zi asked, "The Future Clan?"

Ye Guan said, "Yes."

"How about you ask Miss Ling?" Su Zi asked.

Ye Guan\'s eyes lit up. Xuanyuan Ling was from Yanjing, so she had to know about the Future Clan.

With that in mind, Ye Guan said, "Let\'s just hope that Miss Ling hasn\'t left yet!"

"I\'ll go and ask!" Su Zi replied and took out her phone to call someone.

Soon, Su Zi put away her phone and looked at Ye Guan. "She left, but I know where she usually stays."

"Is it the Ten Thousand Swords Manor?" Ye Guan asked.

Su Zi nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan said, "Xiao Xue can take me there!"

"I\'ll go with you!" Su Zi said.

Ye Guan shook his head and explained, "We\'re leaving tomorrow, so you probably have many things to settle today. Let me go to the manor to ask questions, and I\'ll come back to the Su Residence once I\'m done. We\'ll go to Yanjing together tomorrow."

He\'s going to return to the Su Residence? Su Zi grinned. "Alright!"

Ye Guan was right. She truly had many things to handle!

"Okay, I\'m going now," Ye Guan replied. He called Xiao Xue before sending Su Zi back to the Su Residence. Xiao Xue soon arrived to fetch Ye Guan and the two of them headed to the Ten Thousand Swords Manor.

The white-haired old man greeted Ye Guan. "Mr. Ye!"

Ye Guan nodded and asked, "Is Miss Ling here?"

"Yes, but she\'s currently taking a bath," the white-haired old man said, "Mr. Ye, please wait in the guest hall for a moment. She\'ll be out soon."

"All right." Ye Guan nodded.

The white-haired old man led Ye Guan to the guest hall. The guest hall was elegant, with many landscape paintings hanging on the wall. The few bookshelves contained ancient-looking books instead of modern ones.

Eventually, Xuanyuan Ling arrived at the guest hall. Xuanyuan Ling wasn\'t wearing a long dress but a simple and plain robe, but the way her long hair cascaded behind her, along with her demeanor, made her look elegant overall.

She was still wearing a veil, revealing only her eyes. Xuanyuan Ling walked slowly to Ye Guan\'s side, sat down, and brewed tea for Ye Guan.

"Mr. Ye, I didn\'t expect you to come here," Xuanyuan Ling said.

Ye Guan smiled and explained, "Miss Ling, I came here to ask a few questions."

"Do speak, then, Mr. Ye," replied Xuanyuan Ling.

Ye Guan\'s expression turned serious as he said, "Miss Ling, are you familiar with the Future Clan?"

The Future Clan? Surprise flashed in Xuanyuan Ling\'s eyes as she asked, "Mr. Ye, are you perhaps acquainted with the Future Clan?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Can you tell me more about it?"

Xuanyuan Ling said, "The Future Clan is one of the two biggest organizations in our Milky Way, and the other is the Milky Way Clan. Below them are the four major clans: the Yang Clan, the Qin Clan, the Xuanyuan Clan, and the Chi Clan."

Xuanyuan Ling made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and asked, "Mr. Ye, are you from within the Milky Way or from outside the Milky Way?"

Ye Guan replied, "Outside the Milky Way."

Xuanyuan Ling\'s hand pouring tea trembled ever so slightly out of surprise.

"Miss Ling, are you from the Xuanyuan Clan that you just mentioned?" Ye Guan asked.

Xuanyuan Ling nodded lightly. She then poured a cup of tea for Ye Guan and said, "Mr. Ye, please."

Ye Guan took a sip before asking, "Can you contact the clan leader of the Milky Way Clan? How about the clan leader of the Future Clan?"

Xuanyuan Ling shook her head and explained, "The headquarters of those two clans aren\'t on Blue Planet, but somewhere else in the Milky Way. I can\'t go there for now, and even if I got there somehow, it\'s impossible for me to contact their clan leaders."

Ye Guan nodded slightly. "I understand."

Xuanyuan Ling glanced at Ye Guan, "Mr. Ye, are you familiar with those clan leaders?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Xuanyuan Ling fell silent. He did not respond and simply took a gentle sip of her tea.

Ye Guan suddenly said, "Miss Ling, there\'s one more thing I would like to ask for your help."

Xuanyuan Ling said, "Please speak."

Ye Guan smiled. "I have a friend named Mu Wanyu. She\'s going to Yanjing as well, but she\'s going there by herself, which makes her an easy target for bullies. Can you take care of her for me?"

Xuanyuan Ling glanced at Ye Guan and said, "It\'s a small matter."

Ye Guan said, "Please don\'t tell her that I asked you to do this."

Xuanyuan Ling was puzzled. "Why?"

Ye Guan smiled without explaining.

Xuanyuan Ling went silent as well.

Ye Guan stood up and said. "I\'ll see you again, Miss Ling."

"Mr Ye, are you heading to Yanjing tomorrow?" asked Xuanyuan Ling.

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Xuanyuan Ling smiled. "Then, we might see each other again soon."

Ye Guan asked, "Are you also returning to Yanjing?"

Xuanyuan Ling nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan smiled. "See you in Yanjing then!"

Xuanyuan Ling said, "Mr. Ye, please visit our Xuanyuan Clan once you get there."

Ye Guan nodded. "Sure."

Xuanyuan Ling stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, "I\'m serious."

Ye Guan was slightly surprised.

"Alright," he said with a grin.

Xuanyuan Ling\'s smile turned gentle as she said, "I\'m looking forward to seeing you there."

Ye Guan cupped his fist and said, "The same goes for me; I\'ll see you soon!"

With that, Ye Guan turned around and left.

Xuanyuan Ling stared at Ye Guan\'s departing figure and muttered, "Why do I have a feeling that you might be able to subdue the sword of our Xuanyuan Clan..."

After a while, Xuanyuan Ling stood up to leave. However, she stopped in her tracks upon hearing the engine of a car. She turned around and found someone alighting from a car not too far away from the manor.

It was another visitor, and the visitor was none other than Su Zi.

Xuanyuan Ling was stunned to see Su Zi.

Su Zi walked up to Xuanyuan Ling and smiled before asking, "Miss Ling, can we talk?"

"Of course." Xuanyuan Ling smiled and brought Su Zi to the guest hall.

Su Zi sat across from Xuanyuan Ling.

Xuanyuan Ling looked at the teacup in front of Su Zi and said, "Mr. Ye has just left."

Su Zi nodded. "I know."

Xuanyuan Ling looked at Su Zi and smiled. "Miss Su Zi, do you have any questions for me?"

Su Zi nodded and took out the Nuwa Stone that Ye Guan gave her.

"Miss Ling, I want to know what this thing is," she said.

Xuanyuan Ling was silent.

Su Zi earnestly urged, "Please tell me."

Xuanyuan Ling asked, "Mr. Ye did not tell you?"

"No." Su Zi shook her head, "He didn\'t say anything."

Xuanyuan Ling stared deeply at Su Zi before whispering, "He\'s really good to you."

Su Zi clenched her hands slowly. "Is it very precious?"

Xuanyuan Ling sighed, "Miss Su Zi, your Su Clan is worth around fifty billion, but even if there were a hundred million Su Clan, the necklace in your hand is still going to be more precious than all of them combined."

Su Zi\'s eyes widened, and her jaw fell to the ground. She couldn\'t even grasp, not to mention believe in Xuanyuan Ling\'s words.

"The gem embedded in that necklace is called the Nuwa Stone, and it\'s one of the Ten Great Artifactions of Huaxia. Its value is beyond your imagination, and it is a true divine item. It will preserve the beauty of the wearer and drastically increase their lifespan. In addition, it has a few special abilities as well."

"You\'re not a cultivator, but it\'s still going to protect you, and it\'s going to become even more formidable in the hands of a cultivator," said Nanyuan Ling. She shook her head and smiled bitterly before saying, "In short, it\'s really precious. If it weren\'t for Mr. Ye, I would have snatched it away."

Su Zi clenched her fists but remained silent.

"Honestly, I\'m starting to envy you. He gave away such a precious item without any hesitation..." Xuanyuan Ling muttered. She shook her head and added, "He\'s too generous."

Xuanyuan Ling was being sincere. When she saw Ye Guan give away the Nuwa Stone, she truly felt a mix of envy and jealousy. Most importantly, Ye Guan was aware of the Nuwa Stone\'s identity! He was truly ruthless—ruthless in his pursuit of women!

Su Zi put away the necklace and stood up.

"Miss Ling, thank you," she said.

"You\'re welcome." Xuanyuan Ling smiled and said, "If you need anything once you\'re in Yanjing, feel free to contact me."

She handed a golden calling card to Su Zi. "My contact information is in there."

Su Zi accepted the calling card and said, "I\'ll see you in Yanjing, then, Miss Ling."

Su ZI turned around and left. Xuanyuan Ling escorted her to the door and watched as Su Zi disappeared in her car.

"I need to make sure that he\'ll attend my birthday party..." she muttered.

...

Xiao Xue led Ye Guan to his room in the Su Residence. Ye Guan sat cross-legged on the ground and started circulating the Universe Beholdment Skill once again.

So far, he had only gathered enough profound energy to unleash five strikes imbued with his sword energy. Ye Guan wasn\'t collecting spiritual energy from the air and converting it to profound energy for the sake of defending himself. He could control his sword with his mind, and it was enough to deal with ordinary people.

He had decided to collect profound energy to one day tackle the Dao Seal on him.

He wanted to see just how powerful it was.

Soon, it was midnight.

The door to Ye Guan’s room was pushed open by Su Zi.

Ye Guan was stunned to see Su Zi, as she was wearing only a white nightgown. Her long hair was slightly damp; clearly, she had just taken a bath.

Su Zi smiled and exclaimed, "I knew you were still awake!"

Ye Guan smiled lightly at Su Zi as the latter walked slowly up to him.

Just then, Su Zi pulled down the collar of her nightgown.

"W-wait!" Ye Guan exclaimed, "Aren’t we moving too fast?"

Su Zi frowned, but then she glared at Ye Guan in embarrassment.

"What are you talking about?! I just wanted to show you the necklace!"

Ye Guan finally looked at Su Zi\'s neck and found that she had already put on the necklace. The Nuwa Stone remained dazzling even in the dark, which made it clear that it was far more extraordinary than any gemstone out there.

"S-sorry, I misunderstood!" Ye Guan immediately said. He felt embarrassed and was convinced that his Mad Demon Bloodline was the reason behind his impure thought just now.

Mad Demon Bloodline. "..."

Su Zi looked at Ye Guan and smiled shyly. "Is it pretty?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Very pretty."

"This necklace must have been expensive, right?" Su Zi asked.

"Not really." Ye Guan smiled and said, "It\'s an ordinary necklace that looks just a bit better than the average necklace."

"Is that so?" Su Zi asked and stared at Ye Guan for quite a while.

"Ye—" Ye Guan was about to speak, but Su Zi tilted her head and kissed him.

Ye Guan was stunned.

Su Zi stepped backward and blinked. Her cheeks were flushed slightly as she explained, "Don’t think too much about it... Here in the Milky Way, people sometimes kiss each other to express their gratitude. There\'s no other meaning behind it."

Su Zi then turned around and ran away.

Left all alone, Ye Guan sat frozen on the ground. Kissing to express gratitude? Awesome!
