Although Yan Zhiqiao's tone was soft, his words were very intimidating.

At least Jiang Ciyuan, who was rarely threatened directly, felt his hands go cold.

He paused, then took his hand back as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that he was tactful, Yan Zhiqiao just snorted in a proud manner.

Her skin was fair and smooth, and when Jiang Ciyuan pinched it with a little force, it inevitably left a few faint red marks.

When Jiang Ciyuan saw it, he unconsciously stroked his fingertips which still had a soft touch.

Junior sister's face is a little too delicate.

"Oh, just wait!"

Yan Zhiqiao doesn't plan to take revenge on Jiang Ciyuan now. She wants to give him a good beating when she goes to find Xiao Lan later!

Jiang Ciyuan felt a chill down his spine and quickly changed the subject.

"When to set off?"

"Tomorrow at 9:00 p.m., let me have a good rest tonight."

"it is good."

After saying everything that needed to be said, Jiang Ciyuan did not leave. His deep eyes stared quietly at Yan Zhiqiao.

Yan Zhiqiao looked at him with some confusion.

"Anything else?"

Jiang Ciyuan rolled his Adam's apple, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just shook his head.

"Gone."

After a pause, without waiting for Yan Zhiqiao to speak again, he turned and left.

Yan Zhiqiao looked at his back with some confusion.

Why do you feel so weird?

----

The next day, it's time.

Because he had to go out on a mission, Yan Zhiqiao did not attend the morning training.

When the agreed time came, she quickly opened the door and walked out, only to see Jiang Ciyuan, dressed in a dark red suit, already waiting in the courtyard.

This was the first time that he entered her courtyard without Yan Zhiqiao's permission.

Yan Zhiqiao met his gaze from a certain distance, paused for a moment, and then walked towards him.

"Let's go."

She didn't mind that he didn't wait outside the gate as usual, but walked into the courtyard to wait for her.

Jiang Ciyuan noticed this and his thin lips curled up slightly.

After leaving the courtyard, the two originally planned to leave the sect directly, but they were stopped by Yan Linghuan and four others halfway.

The four learned that the leader had assigned the task of finding Xiao Lan to Jiang Ciyuan and Yan Zhiqiao, so they took leave from class today and came to see them off.

It was only at this time that Yan Zhiqiao discovered that Feng Liyu and Xi Shili's realms had improved.

——When the strange phenomenon occurred yesterday, the two of them reacted very quickly and began to meditate and practice.

The two of them have been stuck in the early Nascent Soul stage for a long time, and all they need is an opportunity to advance one step further in their cultivation.

The spiritual energy revival brought by Yan Zhiqiao just helped them successfully advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Among the five protagonists, only Gu Qingyan's cultivation remains at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, with no progress.

"Little junior sister!"

When seeing Yan Zhiqiao, Xi Shili seemed particularly enthusiastic.

Feng Liyu, who was standing aside, also gave Yan Zhiqiao a gentle smile without any calculation for the first time.

Although the situation yesterday was personally identified by the head of the sect as an anomalous phenomenon from heaven, it had nothing to do with Yan Zhiqiao.

But due to the coincidence in timing, they couldn't help but have some guesses in their minds.

However, since the leader has already spoken and the matter has been finalized, they should not be too curious.

But their favorable impression of Yan Zhiqiao inevitably increased a lot.

Yan Zhiqiao noticed the subtle change in the two people's attitude, but his face did not show much fluctuation.

As soon as she said "hmm", Yan Linghuan held her little face and rubbed it.

"Be careful along the way. If you encounter danger and can't fight, just run away. Don't force yourself, okay?"

If the situation allowed, Yan Zhiqiao really wanted to arrogantly reply that there was no one she couldn't beat at the moment.

But the situation didn't allow it, so she could only nod obediently.

"understood."

Seeing her cute and adorable appearance, Yan Linghuan felt itchy and couldn't help but move closer to her and put her cheek against hers.

"Little Junior Sister is so good!"

After finally letting go of Yan Zhiqiao, she looked at Jiang Ciyuan who was standing beside her with a slightly frown on his brow.

The attitude didn't get worse, but the excessive intimacy and affection from the previous moment were completely gone.

"Ah Ci, protect Junior Sister well."

Fortunately, Jiang Ciyuan didn't care.

"Ah."

After Yan Linghuan finished speaking, Gu Qingyan and the others also gave instructions one by one.

In fact, with the strength of Yan Zhiqiao and Jiang Ciyuan, everyone should have been relieved when they set out to the Western Territory to find Xiaolan.

But Yan Zhiqiao is too famous now, with his portraits flying everywhere. The last time he sneaked down the mountain, he encountered a demon and was injured.

With all these reasons combined, they really can't help but worry.

When Yan Zhiqiao listened to their caring words, he not only did not feel any impatience in his heart, but also felt a faint sense of joy spreading.

When they were finally willing to let them go, Yan Zhiqiao and Jiang Ciyuan did not delay any longer and said goodbye to the four people and left.

Time was not tight and the mission was not urgent, so they chose to take a flying boat to the western border.

Although the speed is slower than flying a sword, it allows the two of them to have enough time to recuperate.

At about 3 p.m., the flying boat arrived at the western border.

This time, Yan Zhiqiao used tracking techniques and finally determined that the specific location where Xiao Lan disappeared was actually in Wunian City.

Yan Zhiqiao held the jade flute left by Huaixi, frowned slightly and looked towards the east.

Jiang Ciyuan followed her gaze and quickly looked back at her.

"How about it?"

"Xiao Lan's aura finally died in Wu Nian City. I suspect it has something to do with the city lord."

Yan Zhiqiao withdrew his gaze and looked at the jade flute in his palm.

"How did Xiaoyao Sect deal with the Lord of Wunian City?"

When mentioning this, Jiang Ciyuan's expression froze slightly.

"Ye Anchen sent me a message before, saying that he had not found any evidence that the city lord had done evil, and the people he arrested in Jingyue Tower also insisted that they had nothing to do with the city lord."

"So the city lord is still safe and sound?"

Jiang Ciyuan nodded.

"Even the people who had taken the initiative to reveal the news to you have changed their tune after Xiaoyao Sect intervened in the matter."

Yan Zhiqiao pinched his fingertips, feeling a little surprised, but not much.

Just as she and Huaixi moved into Jingyue Tower, that group of people came to capture Huaixi so unscrupulously. This was enough to prove that the power behind them was strong enough to cover the sky with one hand.

If they were caught so easily, how could they have survived until now?

Seeing Yan Zhiqiao fall into deep thought, Jiang Ciyuan thought for a moment and asked.

"Why don't we go to Xiaoyao Sect to get some information and meet those kidnappers?"

Yan Zhiqiao hesitated for two seconds and nodded.

"it is good."

While Jiang Ciyuan entered the cabin to control the flying boat, Yan Zhiqiao quietly released a magic bird.

She had worked hard before, and now it was Gui Ning's turn to repay her.

Around the hour of Xu, the flying boat arrived at the central part of the western border.

The Xiaoyao Sect was also founded in a blessed land and cave, and its scale is huge, not inferior to that of the Lingxiao Sect.

After receiving the message, Ye Anchen waited in front of the mountain gate.

When he saw Jiang Ciyuan coming, he was about to step forward to say hello, but unexpectedly his eyes were attracted by the girl next to Jiang Ciyuan.

In the dim twilight, the girl in a sky-blue dress seemed to have a halo of her own.

Her holy, beautiful and exquisite face coupled with her noble and extraordinary demeanor made her look like an unattainable god above the nine heavens.

It not only amazes people, but also inspires deep piety and reverence.
