The people from the three great sects sat in the hall and listened to Xue Fanxin and the Heavenly Saints Emperor talk. They felt extra. Even if they had not come, this girl had enough bargaining chips to negotiate with the Heavenly Saints Emperor. There was no need for them to back her up.

They really did not understand why Young Master Wuchen wanted them to do such a boring thing. Xue Fanxin was only the consort of a small country on the edge of the secular and otherworldly world. What right did she have to make him work so hard for her?

Was this woman really that special?

Xue Fanxin did not know what the people from the three great sects were thinking. After negotiating with the Heavenly Saints Emperor, she chatted with the three great sects politely and asked them to continue recruiting new disciples in the Heavenly Saints Empire.

The people from the three great sects were not familiar with Xue Fanxin to begin with, so they had nothing to talk about. After finishing their business, they left. Only Mu Changfeng spoke before leaving, “If you want to enter the Flowing Cloud Sect, you can come and look for us at any time.”

The other two great sects hadn’t witnessed Xue Fanxin’s strength, but he did not want the sect to miss out on such a talent.

“Alright, if I have such plans, I’ll look for you,” Xue Fanxin said. Actually, she had never thought of going to the Flowing Cloud Sect. She was a little interested in the Heavenly Spirit Sect instead.

Back then, Ah Jiu had wanted her to enter the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Although she did not know his intentions, he must have had his reasons. If she wanted to join a sect, she would go there, disregarding the others.

However, she had no plans of doing that now. At the very least, before Ah Jiu returned, she would stay in the Ninth Lord’s Estate and not go anywhere.

After the emperor and the others left, Xue Batian walked into the hall with a solemn expression, looking like he had something on his mind.

Xue Fanxin noticed he was acting oddly. “Grandpa, what’s wrong? Who made you unhappy? I’ll help you beat him up.”

“No one. No one dares to provoke me. Don’t talk nonsense.” Xue Batian sighed and continued, “Xin’er, the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect just came, right?”

“That’s right! Not just the Flowing Cloud Sect though. The Heavenly Spirit Sect and the Flying Dragon Sect were all here. Grandpa, did the Flowing Cloud Sect do something? Although I beat up their disciples, they didn’t seem to have any intention of blaming me. They spoke quite politely today.”

“Your father went to the Flowing Cloud Sect back then before disappearing. Five years later, he returned with the infant you and left alone a year later. There’s still no news. I don’t know what happened to him. Perhaps there are some clues in the Flowing Cloud Sect.”

“Grandpa, you want me to go to the Flowing Cloud Sect to search for Dad?”

Xue Batian nodded, then shook his head. “Forget it. The otherworldly sects are not places to play around. There are countless experts there. There are fights every day, casualties, and all kinds of battles. I’m worried about you. As for your father, he’ll naturally return when the time comes. We’ll just wait.”

Wait?

Xue Fanxin did not think so. Previously, she had not known that her father had gone to the Flowing Cloud Sect, so she had no interest in it. But now, she knew that no matter what, she had to go there and investigate her father’s deeds.

Still, she had to wait for Ah Jiu to return. She would not leave the Ninth Lord’s Estate and Heavenly Saints City before he came back.

Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, how are you doing over there? When can you come back?

I miss you.
