Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?

"Of course it's for this treasure! Or is it for your treasure?" Jiang Huan wiped the dust off the mirror, her eyes full of mockery, and looked at the still dumbfounded girl. "Even a three-year-old knows not to go with strangers, and your treasure... is not even as good as a three-year-old."

"You, I..." The girl's boyfriend was speechless for a moment, his face flushed as if he had been slapped. He looked at his girlfriend beside him and sighed deeply.

He couldn't understand why the differences between people were so vast!

"You just said your family is in Zhongzhou, what kind of family?"

"Qiao's family."

"Qiao...does your Qiao family also have a branch in Haiyun City?"

"Haiyun City?" The girl's boyfriend paused for a moment, blinked, and explained, "There is indeed a branch in Haiyun City, but it's not a collateral branch; they are the direct descendants. Qiao Yongkang, the eldest son of the Qiao family in Haiyun City, is my cousin! However, they were exiled to Haiyun City by their family because they made a mistake!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan fell silent, pondering to himself.

Throughout the entire Nine Provinces, she felt as if everyone was surrounding these few powerful families. Even if people with the same surname appeared elsewhere, they were all from the same clan and had been driven out of the Central Province.

So... could it be that the Jiang family also has a direct line and a collateral line?

It seems that the families in Zhongzhou are even more mysterious than those in Danzhou!

"Hey." Jiang Huan snapped out of her daze and looked at the girl's boyfriend who had gotten up from the ground. "Although I didn't mean to save you, I did save you, so don't you owe me a favor?"

“Okay!” The girl’s boyfriend nodded and took something out of his pocket. “My name is Qiao Nian. This is something I’ve carried with me since I was a child. You can consider it a token of my love for you. I hope you will keep it safe. When you come to Zhongzhou in the future, take out this token and I can repay your kindness.”

"No matter who I am, as long as I produce the token, that's enough, right?"

“Yes!” Qiao Nian nodded. “As long as you take it out, as long as it doesn’t harm my family’s lives or violate morality and ethics, I can repay your kindness.”

"OK!" Jiang Huan put away the token. "Help your girlfriend and come with us!"

After she finished speaking, she walked ahead, with Ling Siye following closely behind.

Qiao Nian glanced at his girlfriend, who was stunned with fear, and sighed. Even though he was unwilling, he still reached out to help her up in this situation and silently followed behind Jiang Huan and the other person.

The cave was indeed a hidden place, and it took Jiang Huan a lot of effort to find a way out.

The exit turned out to be a street.

The cave hidden in the bustling market is quite something!

"It seems the waters of Danzhou are deeper than we imagined," Ling Siye said in a deep voice as he walked beside her.

Jiang Huan nodded in agreement: "Yes, we need to be more careful from now on! We don't know who Wu Lan is, or what kind of forces are in Danzhou. After we settle Qiao Nian and the other two, we'll change our identities and go to other places to investigate. But as long as the mirror is in my hands, Wu Lan will definitely reappear."

"Mm." Ling Siye nodded.

Next, the two decided to keep a low profile and avoid alerting the enemy for the time being.

The mystery of Danzhou must have attracted more than just them; there must be others among them.

Since the exact location of the Soul-Locking Pillar cannot be found, and Danzhou will change, it would be better to secretly investigate Wu Lan and wait for Wu Lan to come to us. Perhaps then we can understand Wu Lan's background and the forces behind him.

Perhaps, Wu Lan's existence is just the tip of the iceberg in the mysterious place of Danzhou!

An hour later, Jiang Huan and Ling Siye brought the young couple to a small inn in Danzhou. The inn looked safe and inconspicuous, making it a suitable place for them to settle down temporarily.

After ensuring the young couple's emotional stability, Jiang Huan and Ling Siye decided to change the subject of their discussion and move on to the next steps.

"Miss, may I know your name?" Qiao Nian asked as Jiang Huan left.

Jiang Huan stopped and looked back. "We will meet again. If you want to continue your training in Danzhou, this place is the safest. If you don't want to stay, eat this. It will prevent you from being misled by illusions and allow you to leave Danzhou smoothly."

She guessed that someone in Danzhou must be using illusions, otherwise the scene before her wouldn't change so easily.

Qiao Nian accepted the two pills that were thrown at him, watching Jiang Huan and the other person leave. "Thank you!"

……

Jiang Huan and Ling Siye left the small inn, then found another inconspicuous place, cast a barrier, and quickly changed their appearance within the barrier, appearing with different faces.

A short while later, the two of them appeared in a teahouse.

To prevent anyone from overhearing her next plan, she set up a barrier again.

Jiang Huan remained silent for a long time before proposing a plan.

“I think we need to understand this Wu Lan first. Judging from her appearance, she seems to know Danzhou inside and out, or she’s specifically capturing people for sacrifice. We need to figure out who she is and what the sacrifices are for. Before that, we need to find local sources.”

Ling Siye nodded in agreement, "Then shall we split up?"

“Okay. I’ll ask some local residents for information, and you can check the official channels in Danzhou for any records about her.” Jiang Huan nodded.

Ling Siye hummed in agreement.

Jiang Huan thought for a moment and added, "Be careful of your own safety. Danzhou doesn't seem as simple as we imagined; there might be more dangers. Wu Lan is just one part of it. Anyway, if anything happens, we can contact each other by phone or through a communication talisman."

"it is good!"

After agreeing on their respective tasks, Jiang Huan and Ling Siye left the teahouse and went their separate ways.

Using his new identity, Ling Siye began gathering information throughout the streets and alleys of Danzhou.

For some reason, he always felt that these people existed like NPCs, without much human presence.

With the help of Coal Ball, he used his keen observation and intuition to strike up conversations with some seemingly ordinary but actually quite extraordinary residents of Kelantan.

But as soon as these people heard it was about Wu Lan, it was like a topic switch had been flipped, and they kept talking non-stop.

As for Jiang Huan, she went to the official institutions in Danzhou.

As long as it's within Kyushu, there will be official institutions. They may not be useful, but they will definitely have some information.

She had everything, whether it was money, pills, or anything else that could help with cultivation.

Using these resources, she asked many staff members, but none of them provided any useful information.

Fortunately, after some effort, Jiang Huan overheard Wu Lan's conversation at a small tavern.

"Brothers, these are some pills I bought on the way. They can help with your improvement. May I ask you a question?"

"Honesty?"

"Guaranteed authentic!" Jiang Huan nodded, sat down, and smiled sincerely. "If you two brothers can provide me with something even better, I can give you some breakthrough treasures!"

Upon hearing this, the two brothers exchanged a glance and looked around.

One of them asked, "What do you want to know?"
