Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Unfortunately, this honeymoon never took place.

Just as Fan Qingyin had prepared everything and was about to set off for the Forest Empire to meet Jiang Yu, she received news that the son of the Wilman family had gone missing while diving for pearls in the sea.

"Which son?" Fan Qingyin frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping over her.

“It’s Lanny Wilman,” the servant replied in a low voice.

"..." Fan Qingyin pursed her thin lips, her eyes lowered as if lost in thought. "Have you sent people to look for them?"

"We sent people to look for them as soon as we received the news," the servant replied quickly, not daring to delay. Although he didn't know much about Lanny Wilman, everyone in the lord's manor knew that the lord valued the Wilman family highly and that Lanny was particularly favored.

"Still haven't found it?" Fan Qingyin asked.

"not yet."

"Keep searching, send more people." Fan Qingyin stood up and walked to the window, feeling like she had overlooked something. Her gaze drifted inward to the lush greenery in the courtyard, and in a flash, a thought struck her.

"Don't let this news reach the lord. She's away as a guest and shouldn't be worrying about county affairs. Report all progress to me."

If it really is as he thinks... then this young man from the Wilman family is truly not to be underestimated, possessing such a do-or-die determination...

However, by the time he found out, the news had probably already spread, and everything was likely arranged before the boy set off.

Thinking this, Fan Qingyin frowned even more deeply. Now that things had come to this, all she could do was try her best to salvage the situation.

He then instructed the servants who had not yet left, "I will write a short letter and send it by Dragonhawk Messenger to Lord Chen Xin of Bifu Town in the Forest Empire. Then pack your bags immediately, keep everything simple, and we will depart at once."

Jiang Yu only received two short letters from Fan Qingyin. One was a reply to the letter she sent to him after arriving to let him know she was safe. In the letter, besides gently instructing her to be careful and pay attention to safety while she was away, she also briefly mentioned the progress of various affairs in the county.

The second letter was the one in her hand. This letter was even shorter, almost just informing him of the time he would be arriving.

Although neither letter contained intimate language, nor did they explicitly express longing, the few lines seemed to carry a hint of tenderness, perhaps because Jiang Yu had suddenly come to terms with his feelings for Fan Qingyin.

Jiang Yu held the second letter in her hand. She figured Fan Qingyin should be setting off in a few days, and she hesitated whether to write him a reply.

She was also worried that if Fan Qingyin received her letter halfway there, she might realize her feelings and seem less dignified. She also felt she was overthinking things and being too high-handed; they were already husband and wife, why be so secretive? It would be better to boldly express her feelings.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, a servant who had come with her to the Forest Empire ran over in a flustered manner and bent down to tell her some news.

The news struck her like a bolt from the blue. She immediately put down the letter in her hand, stood up, and ordered, "Quickly pack your things. We're heading back ahead of schedule. First, go to the place where Lanny disappeared. Tell me what happened."

He hurriedly went to find Chen Xin to tell her that the plan had changed and that she had urgent business to attend to and had to leave first. "Oh, right, send a letter to Qingyin and tell her that she doesn't need to set off and can wait for me to return to the manor. Use the Dragonhawk Messenger, and be sure to do it quickly."

"What? Lanny got into trouble? Is Lanny the one you said looks just like your boyfriend?" Chen Xin asked in surprise after hearing Jiang Yu's words as she saw her rush in.

“Yes, it’s Lanny, whom I mentioned to you in the letter. He supposedly went missing while diving for pearls. But he’s been going into the business to help me lately, so if something happens to him, I’ll be held responsible.” Jiang Yu clenched her hands and paced back and forth in Chen Xin’s room.

"Not necessarily, maybe it's because of Caizhu." Chen Xin was also a little flustered. She knew that the boy must be an extremely special person to her friend. Just his face was enough to make her friend pay close attention to him even if she didn't have romantic feelings for him.

"Besides, they say the person hasn't been found yet, but that doesn't necessarily mean something happened to them. Maybe they'll be found soon."

"I hope so, but now that I've heard the news, I have to go to the place where the accident happened." Jiang Yu could only look apologetically at Chen Xin.

"It seems I can't stay here a few more days, nor can I travel with you. I'll write to you after I've settled things on my end, and then you can come to my place. I'm so busy right now that I can't properly entertain you."

"Why are you being so polite with me? Don't worry about me. I'll go whenever I want. You should go and see for yourself."

"What about Fan Qingyin? Has he already set off this way? Should I write to tell him, or should I entertain him for you when he arrives?" Chen Xin asked Jiang Yu, thinking of their previous plan.

"He shouldn't have set off yet. I sent someone to find the Dragon Eagle Messenger to deliver a letter to him, hoping it will arrive before he departs. If not, I've also sent people to intercept him on the road, and then we can have him meet up with me."

Jiang Yu stepped forward and took Chen Xin's hands. "I'm about to leave. Thank you for your hospitality these past few days. I probably won't have time to say goodbye to Gilbert and the others properly. Please pass on my regards."

"Also, I know you're sincere towards Zhong Qin, but you also need to consider the feelings of the other three. We've agreed that once I've dealt with this matter, I'll send someone to pick you up."

"I told you not to be so polite with me. I know what you're talking about! I know you're doing this for my own good, and I'll handle it well, don't worry! I'll have someone pack the local specialties and put them in your luggage right away. Be careful on your journey."

Chen Xin hugged her friend, but couldn't help thinking about what kind of person Lan Ni was. She wondered if, apart from having the same face, their personalities were also similar. Could he become the next Zhong Qin?

Jiang Yu and his group quickly packed their bags, unlike when they arrived at their leisure, and hurriedly prepared to set off.

Dovika led two celestial horses to the front and instructed the servants to harness the carriage. Thinking of what he had just heard, he couldn't help but sigh.

They had pinned their hopes on Jiang Yu, but this lord truly lived up to his reputation as a close friend of their lord. He actually rushed off to check on a mere pearl diver, even though he could have simply sent someone to investigate.

He was also indignant, wondering what had happened this year, that all the servants had become so charming.

Jiang Yu noticed that Dovica's expression was strange and didn't know what he was thinking. Out of politeness, she went up to say goodbye: "Dovica, thank you for your hospitality during this time. You also helped me take care of Tianma. Thank you for your hard work."

"I haven't had any hardship. It's just a pity that I won't be able to see the Divine Envoy Fan Qingyin this time."

Dovica felt it was necessary to remind Jiang Yu that the most outstanding son of the Fan family in their Aurora Empire was her husband. Perhaps this little reminder would remind Lord Jiang Yu of her husband who was far away in the Ocean Empire.

Jiang Yu understood immediately; Dovica was subtly reminding her to consider Fan Qingyin's feelings.

She couldn't help but find it amusing. Chen Xin's actions had clearly broken this cheerful boy's heart. Even before anything had progressed, he was already putting himself in Fan Qingyin's shoes and worrying about her. But this also showed that Duovica was indeed a kind-hearted person.

"I have already written to Qingyin to inform him that he may not be able to come as a guest this time, but there will definitely be opportunities in the future. Qingyin and I welcome you to visit my manor anytime. Qingyin will be very happy to see you and will certainly treat you well."

Jiang Yu nodded slightly as a farewell, and the meaning in her words was enough to put Dovika at ease. Fan Qingyin still had authority in her manor and was a master of the manor just like her.
