"Bang!" Hearing the sound of a collision coming from the hospital ward, Assistant Fang quickly walked in.
"Boss, what's going on?" As soon as Assistant Fang entered, he saw Mu Yijie pinching something in his hand, with the veins on his forehead throbbing. The delicate table was tilted against the wall.
The pupils in Mu Yijie's eyes were darker than ink, like an unfathomable abyss. He squeezed out the words from his mouth, "Is Ye Qinghe still here?"
Assistant Fang was shocked. It had been years since he last saw the boss this angry. He quickly asked the bodyguards to check for Ye Qinghe's whereabouts downstairs.
Not long after, Assistant Fang walked in and said carefully, "Ye Qinghe is not here. According to the nurse, Miss and Ye Qinghe were discharged from the hospital last night."
Mu Yijie looked at him sharply, "They left together?"
Assistant Fang inwardly groaned. Miss Yong, you've had your fun, but we're in big trouble. He nodded reluctantly.
After the outburst of anger, Mu Yijie suddenly calmed down. He walked out expressionlessly, "Restore the room to its original state. Book me a flight to Yunshan. Tell them I'm going to Yunshan for an inspection. You handle my work for the time being. Hold off on the important matters. I'll be back in at most seven days."
As he said this, he suddenly stopped and looked at Assistant Fang coldly, "I hope the company will operate as usual even when I'm not here. Do you understand?"
Assistant Fang shuddered, "Yes, boss."
Just as Mu Yijie got into the car, a figure squeezed in. It was Li Zhuo, grinning, "How could you leave out such an exciting thing?"
Mu Yijie glanced at Hou Hua sitting silently in the front and said nothing, which was taken as an acquiescence.
The three of them took a day - long flight to the city near Yunshan. Then they bought a car and drove straight to Yunshan.
"Damn it, there are so many people. Are these all cultivators?" Li Zhuo looked at the continuous stream of cars heading towards Yunshan and murmured.
"It's the off - season recently. After we get there, be careful what you say. Cultivators have sharp ears. Don't cause any trouble." Mu Yijie said seriously with a cold face.
Li Zhuo nodded. Although he was a bit of a slacker, he knew to be serious when it came to his own life.
When they arrived, standing at the bustling crossroads, Li Zhuo said frantically, "There are so many people. How can we find them?"
Mu Yijie didn't say a word. He just took out his phone, fiddled with it for a while, then looked up ahead, "Beiguo Inn."
?? Li Zhuo was confused, but he followed Mu Yijie through twists and turns and finally found a decent - looking inn. As soon as they walked in, they saw a silly - looking young man engrossed in a book in the hall.
Li Zhuo's mind was filled with swear words.
Dude, you're amazing. You even have a tracker.
Ye Qinghe was intently reading about various talismans when suddenly a shadow loomed over him. He looked up and saw a person who definitely shouldn't be here.
"Mr. Mu..."
"Where's Ling'er?" There was a chill in Mu Yijie's eyes.
"Sister Shanling said she went to gather some information. She's in the small tavern next door." Seeing Mu Yijie's terrifying look, Ye Qinghe stopped stuttering and quickly betrayed Yong Shanling's whereabouts.
After hearing this, Mu Yijie strode directly to the tavern next door.
Before he even walked in, he heard a soft, sweet voice say, "Brother, is Yunshan really that amazing?"
Brother~ Humph!
Mu Yijie's expression turned even colder. He walked in directly and found a secluded seat to sit down.
Looking up, he saw Yong Shanling smiling sweetly like a piece of candy, pouring wine for a nine - foot - tall, smiling man.
Seeing the beautiful girl obediently pouring wine, the man proudly continued, "Of course. Yunshan is the number one figure in our cultivation world. He reached the Tribulation Transcendence Stage two hundred years ago. He's the first person in five hundred years to reach that stage, giving hope to countless desperate cultivators. As long as he can ascend, it means our Earth's cultivation world is not in a hopeless situation..."
When the man got excited, he slapped the table hard.
Yong Shanling looked at him with a smile. Her adoring look made the man, who originally didn't want to say much, couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Alas, it's a pity that Yunshan disappeared twenty years ago. Almost no one in the cultivation world has seen him since. Everyone says he's fallen."
Yong Shanling memorized this time point. Seeing that she had asked all the questions she wanted, she smiled and shook the wine bottle, "Brother, there's no more wine. I'll go refill it. Wait for me to come back and continue drinking with you."
After saying that, she walked towards the bar. While the man wasn't paying attention, she changed into a different set of clothes and walked towards the door.
Yong Shanling walked out coldly. Just as she was about to leave, suddenly a hand grabbed her and dragged her back.
"Who is it?"
She was startled. The talisman in her hand was about to be used, but the person seemed to know her very well. With a gentle turn of the hand, the talisman in her hand dropped.
"Um -" Yong Shanling bumped into a cold - scented embrace. In this place, she didn't dare to shout for help, so she could only keep attacking the person.
"Little girl, you're so heartless." A sigh made Yong Shanling stop her movements.
"Uncle?" Yong Shanling asked tentatively. She sniffed carefully. Wasn't this the smell of amber and ebony on Uncle's body!
The originally feisty little girl instantly became as docile as a toothless kitten, lying meekly in Mu Yijie's arms, quiet as a mouse.
But inside, her mind was in a frenzy.
What should I do? I ran away from home and got caught!
Will Uncle be angry?
Was he in danger on the way here?
What should I do to make Uncle forgive me?
...
"Tell me, should I find a deserted place and lock you up so you'll be obedient?" Mu Yijie's suppressed voice sounded in her ear.
Yong Shanling was so scared that her hair stood on end. Stuttering, she said, "Uncle... I was wrong."
Mu Yijie hugged the little girl he had been longing for day and night contentedly, and asked playfully, "Oh~ Where were you wrong?"
I'm not wrong at all! Yong Shanling roared in her heart.
"Uncle, I was wrong everywhere." After saying that, seeing that Uncle still didn't say a word, the sweat on her forehead was about to break out. Gritting her teeth, she continued, "I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye. I shouldn't have come to the bar alone and talked to strangers..."
Yong Shanling kept talking, but Mu Yijie remained silent. In the end, she even said that she shouldn't have chosen this time and this route to come to Beishan.
Mu Yijie finally let her go. He pulled her out of the tavern. Yong Shanling's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were moist, which made many people look at them.
"You're here too. How about we stay together?" Yong Shanling asked tentatively.
Li Zhuo said casually, "Little Ling'er, if you don't stay with us, do you want to split up?"
"Little girl, you're not being kind. You ran away and left me alone as a bodyguard." Hou Hua also joined in the condemnation.
