"Huh? Huh???" Liu Yi immediately activated his divine sense, and found that Leng Yihan's house was empty.

"Hmm?????? This must be where Leng Yihan lives???" Liu Yi thought, expanding his divine sense again, instantly covering the entire Jinshan City and the surrounding cities, however...

"Huh???? Where is Leng Yihan?!" Upon discovering Leng Yihan's disappearance, Liu Yi's expression immediately turned grim.

The thought of his spoiled and willful only disciple gave him a headache. If he went back and said, "I couldn't find Leng Yihan, so I couldn't help rescue Lin Yin," he was sure Leng Binglan would ignore his objections and run back again.

"Where...where did he go? How could a perfectly healthy person just suddenly disappear?!"

299 First Exploration of the Border Region

“You’re back…” When Leng Yihan came to his senses, he was in a cave. There was no road behind him, and the original light wall had turned into a stone wall. Besides him, the other people in the cave were Qing, Leng Zhenmo, and… Lu Youmei, who had fainted in the soul space.

Oh right, I know some people will definitely ask, wasn't Lu Youmei supposed to be watching over the Sealed God Coffin that sealed Lin Yin? Why is she suddenly helping Leng Yihan again?

Okay, next I'll add something. The reason why Lu Youmei was able to switch places with Leng Yihan is mainly because she used all her power to suppress the God-Sealing Coffin before taking over Leng Yihan's body.

Now everyone understands what Lu Youmei meant when she said, "I can't help you anymore." She can take over Leng Yihan's body, but she just can't use her own power.

At this moment, in Leng Yihan's soul space, Lu Youmei was lying on the coffin with her eyes closed, presumably also undergoing a test.

So, even this old woman has to undergo a test when she enters the border region again...? Luckily, Lu Youmei's energy has been suppressing the God-Sealing Coffin, otherwise, things could have gone wrong...

However, Leng Yihan was not kept waiting for long. Lu Youmei raised her eyebrows and quickly opened her eyes.

"Oh...so it really is an old man who has been to the border region more than once..." Leng Yihan nodded and said upon seeing Lu Youmei awake.

However, he forgot that he had finished even faster than Lu Youmei.

"Hmm...? Leng Yihan, that's fast. It's not good to be like this. A man shouldn't be so quick about everything."

“I know… so I will carefully choose what should be done quickly and what should be done slowly so that people can enjoy it.” Leng Yihan continued Lu Youmei’s words without changing her expression.

"Speaking of which... even though you're an old man, you still need to undergo the trials of the borderlands?" Leng Yihan asked curiously.

“Heh… Lu Youmei in her complete form can indeed come in directly, but I’m not in my complete form yet, I’m just an incomplete one,” Lu Youmei said.

"Oh...I see...So when do you think the others will be ready?" Leng Yihan said to Lu Youmei as she sat down against the cave wall, waiting for the others to wake up.

"Heh...who knows? Maybe soon, maybe a long time. We'll just wait. There's no need to rush. We have plenty of time," Lu Youmei said.

Leng Yihan did not reply to her. She closed her eyes and waited for the other two to wake up. She was also here to protect them and prevent anything from causing trouble.

Leng Yihan didn't have to wait long before Qing, their second strongest fighter, woke up. When she got up, she still had a slightly bewildered look on her face, as if she hadn't yet realized what had happened.

Hmm... Qing is surprisingly cute...

Leng Yihan couldn't help but chuckle at Qing's dazed expression; it seemed like he was about to awaken some incredible attribute...

"Huh? You! Where are we now?" Qing asked Leng Yihan after regaining her senses.

“We’re now in the border region. Now we just need to wait for Little Demon to wake up,” Leng Yihan said, glancing at Leng Zhenmo, who was still unconscious.

"Hmm... Where's Sister Lu?" Qing asked Leng Yihan with some concern.

"Don't worry, she's the one who led the way, how could anything happen to her?" Leng Yihan smiled. Qing's attitude towards Lu Youmei was completely different from her attitude towards others.

"That's good." Qing nodded and stood up. "I'll go out and explore the area first. You stay here and watch over her."

"Thank you for your trouble," Leng Yihan said.

Qing didn't look back and left the cave. Leng Yihan could see that they were probably in some kind of forest. Leng Yihan was glad that they were in this place. She guessed that Qing should have some advantages here, since she was a plant-turned-demon.

Little devil, oh little devil... please wake up soon...

"What?! My brother is missing?!" Leng Binglan's eyes widened when she heard Liu Yi's words.

"Um... Xiao Lan, wait a minute, don't worry. I've already sent Uncle Liang to find their whereabouts. Don't worry, if the Demon King attacks them, I will definitely not let him off the hook." Liu Yi immediately reassured the agitated Leng Binglan.

"Ugh—" Leng Binglan glared at Liu Yi resentfully, then sat back down and began eating the food in front of her with dissatisfaction.

It was mostly made with rare and precious ingredients, and the dishes were prepared according to Leng Binglan's preferred tastes. Liu Yi clearly dotes on Leng Binglan.

After all, he searched the entire multiverse and only found Leng Binglan, a person suitable for his inheritance. What else could he do but spoil him? He didn't want his inheritance to end like this.

"I will continue to inherit the legacy and accept it seriously, please rest assured, Master." Suddenly, Leng Binglan raised her head and said earnestly.

"Huh?" Upon hearing Leng Binglan's words, Liu Yi stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth in disbelief. Such sensible words were actually spoken by Leng Binglan.

"Hey... what's with your reaction..." Leng Binglan looked at the surprised Liu Yi, very dissatisfied.

"I just didn't expect you to be so sensible..." Liu Yi said blankly.

"Heh... what do you think?" Leng Binglan smiled slyly, covering her mouth with her hand so that Liu Yi wouldn't see the slight upturn of her lips. "My request is very simple: find my brother, then heal Lin Yin. Before that, I will wholeheartedly accept the inheritance."

“No problem! Absolutely no problem!” Liu Yi immediately replied, “As long as you are willing to seriously accept the inheritance, I can accept 99% of your requirements!”

"Hmm~ That's good." Leng Binglan nodded, then lowered her head to eat again. But after taking a bite, she remembered something, looked up at Liu Yi again, and showed a puzzled look: "Speaking of which... you should still have a long lifespan, right? Why are you in such a hurry to find a successor?"

"Oh, this?" Liu Yi looked away and whistled, seemingly unwilling to answer the question.

"Fine, it doesn't matter. You just need to meet my requirements."

"Yes! Absolutely no problem!"

-

"Hmm..." Leng Zhenmo twitched her fingers and quickly opened her eyes, sitting up.

"How are you? Are you alright?" Leng Yihan asked with concern when she saw Leng Zhenmo wake up.

"...Hmm, it's nothing. I'm just still a little immersed in the test I just experienced. How come? When did you finish the test?"

"Haha... Well, I was only a little faster than you. I woke up about three or four minutes after you. Qing seems to have woken up a long time ago and went out to find her way," Leng Yihan said, scratching her head.

"Hmm, a little faster than me..." Leng Zhenmo and Leng Yihan looked at each other for a few seconds before looking away. "Are we going to wait here for her to come back?"

"Let's wait. Don't go out on your own and end up not finding her, and instead we get lost ourselves," Leng Yihan said.

Qing seemed to have arrived just in time; she appeared at the cave entrance a few seconds after Leng Yihan had said those words.

"Hmm? You came back a bit too quickly..."

"I just did a quick search and came back. Oh, and I found someone who was seriously injured. I thought I'd come back to ask if you guys would help him."

"Wait, you should save them first... By the time you got back, they might already be dying..." Leng Yihan complained, standing up. "Let's go, hurry over there and try to save them."

"Yes, follow me." Qing nodded and turned to walk out of the cave again, this time with Leng Yihan and Leng Zhenmo following.

After hearing Leng Yihan's words, Qing thought about it carefully and realized that he made sense. If the person was left there for too long, he would die. So she quickened her pace and ran towards the place where she had just found the person.

The two behind her naturally followed. Qing did indeed not go too far, just as she said, but nearby. Leng Yihan quickly saw a person sitting under a tree, shrouded in darkness, through the gaps between the leaves.

"...! Who is it?!" The person who had been resting with their eyes slightly closed suddenly opened their eyes, stood up, and cautiously looked around.

What about the girls...?

Upon hearing that voice, Leng Yihan recognized it immediately.

"Wait, young lady, don't worry, we mean no harm!"

300 An unexpected encounter with Xu Xiaoxiao

"Don't come any closer!" Although Leng Yihan had already said that she and her companions meant no harm, it was indeed not so easy to believe her.

"Wait...you're badly injured, aren't you? Are you really okay?" Leng Yihan immediately asked.

“I don’t need your treatment, I can manage on my own…” the cloaked man said, taking a step back.

The result was that his legs suddenly lost strength, and he collapsed.

"Qing... I'm sorry to trouble you... let's heal her injuries first, so that she can still protect herself if she runs away." Leng Yihan said softly to Qing. Anyway, their original purpose was just to save people. If she didn't want to stay, then let her go. Of course, it would be even better if this cloaked person could tell them about the border region.

"Hmm." Qing responded softly. The cloaked figure seemed to have misunderstood what Leng Yihan and the others were going to do to her, and hurriedly tried to slip into the bushes nearby to use them as cover to leave.

However, her body was severely injured, and her speed was extremely slow. Before she could even touch the edge of the grass, the branches that Qing summoned had already entangled her body.

"Ugh!" The cloaked man's feet got tangled in the branches summoned by Qing, and the other branches immediately swarmed in as well.

"...Qing, you're really just doing treatment, aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm just preparing to heal her. The spiritual energy in this forest is very strong. If I help her heal her injuries, I estimate I can heal her in less than a minute."

Um... Leng Yihan, don't you think you should tell her what you're trying to do...?

Lu Youmei's slightly speechless voice echoed in Leng Yihan's mind.

Hmm? Will she believe me if I tell her...?

You should say something too!

Okay, okay...

Leng Yihan sighed and walked towards the cloaked figure, saying, "Miss, please don't resist... We mean you any harm, we just want to help you heal your wounds..."

"Who helps heal by tying me up like this?!" the cloaked man complained.

“Hmm…you’ll have to ask that little girl over there.” Leng Yihan pointed to Qing not far away.

“You are very rude. I am not some little girl,” Qing said, squinting.

"Tsk... What exactly do you want?! Can't you just say it?!"

"I'll help you heal your wounds..."

"So, how can you treat a wound by binding the patient in a way that allows you to heal them?!"

"So you should ask that little girl over there..."

"I've already said I'm not a little girl!!!"

"Hehe... This is truly spectacular..." Leng Zhenmo stood aside, silently watching the farce unfold before her.

"Feel if your injury is any better now." Seeing that she still didn't believe her, Leng Yihan decided to use facts to prove that she really only meant well.

"Hmm..." The cloaked figure fell silent, lowered his head and pondered for a while before pointing at the map: "It is indeed a bit better... no, it should be quite a bit better. In this short period of time, I have recovered a third of my injuries."

"That's it then..."

“But since that’s the case, I can’t trust you so easily.” The cloaked man changed the subject. “...I don’t think anyone in the borderlands would rescue someone for no reason, especially not in such a forceful way.”

"Hmm... well..." Leng Yihan touched his nose and fell into deep thought. Of course, he didn't think for very long before he said, "Okay, there is indeed a purpose behind it."
