Su Yang grabbed Lin Anlan and gestured with his mouth towards the direction of the Yuwen siblings, indicating that she should look there. Lin Anlan turned her head to look. She didn't recognize the Yuwen siblings. She had been unconscious in the cave on the island, so she hadn't seen them before.

Seeing Lin Anlan's blank expression, Su Yang remembered that she had been unconscious at the time, so he whispered in her ear, "Those two siblings ran away from the island. Yin Tianbao wanted to kill them, but they set me on fire and used the opportunity to escape. I didn't expect to run into them here."

"So, those two must know me?" Lin Anlan understood. Yin Tianbao's family was a powerful clan in Huaijing, with real connections in the court. It was Yin Tianbao who had lured Lin Anlan to the island, which led to the series of events that followed.

"Probably, since they saw you in the cave."

"What should we do then? Shall we hide?"

As the two were discussing, Tang Wan, unaware of what was going on, joined in to listen. However, Yuwen Rongxuan, who was not far away, also noticed the three of them. He didn't pay much attention at first, as Su Yang and Lin Anlan had their backs turned. But at a certain moment, when Lin Anlan whispered to Su Yang, her profile was revealed, which Yuwen Rongxuan saw clearly. He was immediately shocked and grabbed his sister Yuwen Zuoqing, staring intently at Lin Anlan.

"What's wrong, brother?" Yuwen Zuoqing felt the immense grip from Rong Xuan and struggled to break free, asking in confusion.

"Is that Lin Anlan?" Yuwen Rongxuan asked nervously, without letting go of her hand.

Upon hearing his words, Yuwen Zuoqing also looked in the direction he was looking and was shocked as well. Who else could this person be but Lin Anlan?

"She, how could she be, she's not..." Yuwen Zuoqing was somewhat incoherent. Since their escape, they had occasionally inquired about the situation on the island. At the time, they believed that no one in the cave could have escaped Yin Tianbao's clutches, but they never expected Lin Anlan to survive.

“Not only her, but the man next to her also survived. Perhaps it was that man who saved her.” Yuwen Rongxuan pulled her back slowly, analyzing as he spoke.

"How is this possible? Yin Tianbao is a sixth-level elementalist. With his ruthlessness, how could he allow anyone to survive? Is that man stronger than Yin Tianbao?" Yuwen Zuoqing clearly didn't want to believe it.

As they were talking, the two had already retreated quite a distance. Only after Lin Anlan and Su Yang had completely disappeared from their sight did they find an alley to leave.

"Either the man's strength was comparable to Yin Tianbao's, or the reinforcements from the Insulators came to support him, which allowed him and Yin Tianbao to leave Wan'an Peak. However, this resulted in Yin Tianbao suffering very serious injuries. Otherwise, it would be inexplicable that Yin Tianbao would die in Bailu City later," Yuwen Rongxuan said, stroking his chin.

"So Lin Anlan is back in Huaijing now, and she's still with that man. Could she be here to get revenge on us?" Yuwen Zuoqing was a little scared. She and her brother were only sixth-tier, level zero elementalists, while Yin Tianbao, as the president of the Imperial Adventurers' Guild, had already broken through to the sixth tier of elementalists many years ago. He might have even broken through to the first or second tier. They were not even in the same league.

The fact that Su Yang was able to survive Yin Tianbao's attack and even save the unconscious Lin Anlan indicates that his elemental rank is at least as high as Yin Tianbao's; otherwise, it would be completely inexplicable. In addition, Lin Anlan is also a sixth-rank elementalist. Once they discover that he and his sister have discovered their relationship, he will definitely be no match for them. Therefore, Yuwen Zuoqing was somewhat afraid.

"It's too early to draw conclusions. Besides, we didn't do anything to Lin Anlan and that man when we left the island. We just asked him to help us get out of trouble. Right now, we should be careful with our actions in Huaijing. It's best to stay home as much as possible and have someone keep an eye on them."

As the two were talking, just as they were about to leave the alley, a person suddenly appeared at the alley entrance, leaning against the wall, fiddling with the ends of his hair. Seeing them approach, he teased, "Hey, where are you in such a hurry to go?"

Who else could this person be but Lin Anlan? As the Yuwen siblings retreated, Tang Wan noticed their movements. Su Yang initially didn't want to chase after them, but under Lin Anlan's strong insistence, Su Yang had no choice but to use the detection radar to locate them, predict their movement trajectory, and take a detour, arriving at the alley entrance before them.

Seeing Lin Anlan appear before him, Yuwen Rongxuan was filled with surprise and uncertainty, wondering when they had discovered him. However, not seeing the man, he felt much more relaxed and calmly bowed, saying, "Miss Lin, it's been a long time."

"But I don't know you. How do you know me?"

Yuwen Rongxuan was taken aback, but quickly said, "Who among us adventurers of the Empire doesn't know Miss Lin's name?"

"Hehehe, well, I really have to thank you for remembering me."

Seeing Lin Anlan laughing heartily, Yuwen Rongxuan relaxed even more and laughed along with her. Unexpectedly, after Lin Anlan finished laughing, his expression suddenly changed: "But what you mean by 'long time no see' is indeed quite a long time. The last time we met, no, the last time you saw me was a year ago, on the outlying island."

"What do you mean, Miss Lin?"

Yuwen Rongxuan also retorted sharply, placing his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Yuwen Zuoqing also retreated behind her brother, secretly preparing herself. In an instant, murderous intent was palpable, and the atmosphere between the three was extremely tense.

At this moment, Su Yang and Tang Wan also appeared. He didn't want to do anything to the Yuwen siblings. Survival is everyone's instinct and right. At that time, they were just forced to do it in a moment of desperation. Seeing the three of them about to fight, he wanted to pull Lin Anlan away. After all, this was Huaijing, the so-called capital city. He didn't want to cause any more trouble.

He took Lin Anlan's hand and said softly, "Let's go."

"Are we just going to let them go like this?" Lin Anlan was indignant. Just from imagining it, she knew that they must have had bad intentions for appearing in the cave, and that they were using Su Yang as a shield while they ran away.

"They didn't do anything, they just wanted to save their lives." Su Yang's voice was very soft, but Yuwen Rongxuan heard it all. In the end, Lin Anlan listened to Su Yang's words, giving the two siblings a fierce look before leaving, and then gave up.

"Brother, please stay!"

Just as Su Yang was about to leave, Yuwen Rongxuan still tried to persuade him to stay, which drew Lin Anlan's dissatisfaction: "We've already let you go, what else do you want!"

"Brother." Yuwen Rongxuan ignored Lin Anlan and continued to Su Yang, "We were wrong on the island earlier. Thank you for your magnanimity. In the future, if you ever need our help in Huaijing, please come to the Marquis Yuwen's mansion to find us." Su Yang waved his hand and left with Lin Anlan.

Although he did not receive a reply, Yuwen Rongxuan still sighed and said to Yuwen Zuoqing in a serious tone, "He is the real master, kind and benevolent, and seeks help from himself rather than others."
