Shen Sifan and Ye Cike were sitting opposite each other, one upright and the other dignified.

Xiu’er was adding tea.

Shen Sifan had always been straightforward, so she simply said, “May I ask why the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family has come to my place?”

Without the previous weakness and loneliness, her gaze was as sharp as a sword, penetrating, as if it could directly penetrate the heart, making people not dare to look at her directly.

Ye Cike was secretly awed by the Green Lotus Swordsman’s demeanor.

As expected of the strongest combat force of the Taiqing Pavilion, her entire person was like a sword, sharp and upright, with an awe-inspiring aura.

But I can’t show weakness!

Pride welled up in the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family’s heart, and she felt that she could not admit defeat. She puffed out her chest and straightened her back, trying to show off his imposing manner as the Young Mistress of a great family.

However, due to her height, no matter how she straightened her body, she still seemed to be a head shorter.

“…”

Ye Cike was annoyed. She thought that she should ask Xiu’er to prepare some milk to make this small body grow taller.

Shen Sifan waited for a while, and when the girl did not answer, she said, “Young Mistress, what do you want to ask me?”

Ye Cike quickly came back to her senses. She covered her mouth and coughed twice, then raised her head and said seriously, “What I want to ask is, yesterday, what did you do at the Inkstone Tower?”

Shen Sifan suddenly fell into silence. After a moment, she said, “This is my private matter. It’s not convenient for me to say more. If Young Mistress doesn’t have any other questions, I don’t think I have anything else to say.”

Ye Cike stared at her and asked, “Is it related to the person you’re looking for? You flew all the way from the Taiqing Pavilion to the southeast of the Central Plains on your sword to find someone, right? And now, you’ve come to the city of Ten Thousand Swords and found a clue in the Inkstone Tower, but you returned without any success, right?”

Shen Sifan’s pupils shrank, and she suddenly looked up. Although she restrained herself and pursed her lips without saying a word, her expression was already asking ‘how did you know?’

“It’s City Lord Duan and the wandering cultivator called Jiang Feng,” Ye Cike said with a deep gaze.

Shen Sifan promised not to tell anyone about this. She pursed he rlips tightly, and the expression on her face could only be described as incredulous.

How did the Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family know about this?

Ye Cike snorted and put the documents on the table, “As expected. This is the information I’ve gathered over the past few days, including Jiang Feng’s whereabouts.”

Shen Sifan looked at the stack of papers in front of her. She already had a premonition in her heart, and she said with some difficulty, “Jiang… Feng?”

Ye Cike did not answer. She had the upper hand and the situation was under her control. Instead, she raised her chin and said, “I came to the City of Ten Thousand Swords to find a person.”

The young girl’s eyes drooped, and she said with a nostalgic tone, “He used to be the most shameless person in my mind, always like to come and go like a ghost to make fun of me, but he was also the most special person in the world, the person who treated me the best. But one day, I suddenly couldn’t find him. No matter what magic I used, I couldn’t find his whereabouts. It was only recently that he seemed to have returned from another world. I followed the clues all the way to the City of Ten Thousand Swords, wanting to ask him for an explanation, and get a conclusion.”

Because of the high degree of overlap, Shen Sifan could not help but hold her breath, and her heart beat faster with her words.

Apprehension, uneasiness, anticipation, and all sorts of other emotions intertwined in her heart.

In the end, she heard the girl’s clear and powerful voice say, “The most important person to me, his name is-”

“Liu Junxuan.”

“Liu Junxuan!”

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and their eyes met.

Xiu’er was stunned. She looked at her Young Mistress and then at the Green Lotus Swordsman.

She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened. Hey, hey, hey, what’s going on…?

The room suddenly became quiet.

It seemed to be within expectations, but it also seemed to be beyond reason.

Shen Sifan stared at the girl in front of her in a daze. Ye Cike seemed to have expected the result, but she still looked disappointed and angry. She bit her lip and looked at her. “As expected, you’re also looking for him!”

Shen Sifan’s sharp temperament disappeared for a moment. She was actually a little tired, and the emotions that she had forcibly suppressed before came back like a tide. She turned her head and said, “I’m looking for him.”

Ye Cike slammed the table and stood up. She gritted her teeth and said, “He must be that Jiang Feng! I had already detected him at the city gate, but I didn’t expect him to be able to fool me as so easily! I was still wondering why a hothead would appear. As expected, it was him… And that Hu Jiuniang! That Duan Lanruo! All of them had something going on with him! I was still wondering where this powerful itinerant cultivator came from, and how to live off a woman, but it turns out to be him!”

The young girl was so angry that she did not care about her image as a Young Mistress of a great aristocratic family. She only wanted to ruthlessly press that person to the ground and step on him twice. Her cheeks and ears were red, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. It was clear how angry she was.

“Young Mistress, be careful. Don’t be angry.” Xiu’er held her up.

Ye Cike panted heavily and sat down again. She took a sip of tea, but the blush on her exquisite face did not fade. She looked at Shen Sifan and said, “What kind of spell technique did you use to find out that he was in the Inkstone Tower and ended up running into him quarreling with Duan Lanruo? Why did you actually come back? You should have just cut him in half with your sword!”

The young girl did not care about her face anymore. She puffed up her cheeks and said words of anger.

Shen Sifan retold what happened to Ye Cike, who widened her eyes and clenched the teacup in her hand. “Adopted… Adopted husband?! Only they could think of such a thing! It was simply shameless! How could they… How could they do this?”

Damn it, the child adoptive husband was too enviable and shameful! It was too shameful!

Ye Cike could not help but think that if she had known Liu Yuan since they were young, the story would have been even better. However, she did not meet an innocent little boy, but an invincible scumbag!

The most hateful thing was that her Xuanyang Pearl was with that person. If she killed him, no one knew if the Xuanyang Pearl would return to her or disappear with it.

Otherwise, she would have immediately picked up her sword and cut this guy into eight pieces. She was definitely not as soft-hearted as this Green Lotus Swordsman!

The most infuriating thing was that Duan Lanruo did not have any reaction when she was in front of her. Even when she said that she wanted to use the Ten Thousand Sword array to find him, she still acted cooperative. She even took all her stuff in exchange, but secretly slept with him…

Ye Cike gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke. She looked at Shen Sifan and said, “Duan Lanruo is in control of the city, so she has nothing to fear. She will definitely tamper with the Ten Thousand Sword Array. When you failed the last time, she became alert. Now that we’re about to observe the tide and listen to the swords, if it doesn’t work, we’ll just have to wait. We’ll bide our time and wait for him to leave the city.”

The young girl’s tone had a hint of a common enemy, and she immediately began to plan.
