The sky-covering technique begins, and the rising moon over the sea shocks Yue Yao.

"The affairs of the Southwest Road are very busy, but you, the head of the family, are here. It must be something important."

Yan Liuli turned her head away and snorted.

"Hmph, I'll naturally take care of the Southwest Road affairs. You don't need to worry about it."

"I came here for a reason."

Baili Changge chuckled, walked into the house, and glanced around casually.

"Oh?"

"Then I wonder what the Yan family master is here for?"

"Did you come here specially to see me?"

Yan Liuli's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said angrily:

"Don't be so self-indulgent. I was just passing through Tianqi City and came to visit."

Baili Changge walked to the window and gently pushed it open. A breeze blew by, bringing a breath of fresh air.

"Passing by?"

"Master Yan's excuse is a bit far-fetched."

He turned around and looked at Yan Liuli with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Yan Liuli frowned slightly, walked to the stone table and sat down, "Believe it or not."

She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, hiding her inner panic.

Baili Changge walked over and sat down opposite her, crossing his arms.

"Well, since Patriarch Yan doesn't want to say, I won't ask."

"However, since you are here, we can also talk about the situation in Southwest Road."

"Now that various forces are ready to make a move, the Southwest Road must be in turmoil."

Yan Liuli put down the teacup, his eyes becoming serious. "Although there are some minor troubles in the Southwest Road, I can still handle it."

"As for you, you should also be careful in this Apocalypse City."

Baili Changge nodded, "Of course I understand."

"However, I heard that a mysterious force has been operating in secret recently, and it seems to have some connection with the Southwest Road. Has Master Yan noticed anything?"

Yan Liuli was slightly startled, "Mysterious force?"

"I haven't heard of it. Do you have any clues?"

Baili Changge pondered for a moment, "There aren't many clues right now. We only know that they're acting in secret, and their purpose is unclear."

"But I have a feeling that their goal is not small and may pose a threat to the various forces in the Southwest Road."

Yan Liuli stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside.

Chapter 283 Yan Liuli of the Yan Family

"Again!"

"No matter who it is, if they want to attack Southwest Road, I will not be polite."

Baili Changge stared quietly at Yan Liuli's back. Her figure was straight and resolute, like a plum blossom blooming proudly in the snow.

An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, like admiration and heartache.

He slowly stood up and walked to her side with light steps.

A breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint fragrance.

"Master Yan, rest assured. If you need anything, I will definitely help you."

Yan Liuli turned her head and her eyes met his.

A complex look flashed in his eyes, showing gratitude, doubt, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

"Thanks in advance then."

Her voice was cold, yet had a unique charm.

"However, I, Yan Liuli, am not one to be trifled with. I will take care of the affairs of the Southwest Road myself."

She raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing immense confidence and stubbornness.

It is a kind of tenacity after going through hardships, which can't help but move people.

The two were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

The air around them seemed to be frozen, with only the breeze blowing gently, ruffling their hair.

Suddenly, Yan Liuli broke the silence.

"How are you doing in Apocalypse City?"

There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes, as if she wanted to understand the other side of that bustling city through his answer.

Baili Changge smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel warm.

"It's okay, but there are a lot of trivial matters."

He frowned slightly, seeming helpless.

"How about you? Are you doing well in Southwest Road?"

He asked back, concern evident in his eyes.

Yan Liuli sighed softly, and that sigh was filled with endless fatigue and helplessness.

"As the head of the family, I have a huge responsibility. What does it matter whether I am happy or not?"

Her eyes were a little dim, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

Baili Changge looked at her, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes.

He knew that she was shouldering the fate of the entire Southwest Road, and that kind of pressure was not something that an ordinary person could bear.

"Master Yan, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you have any troubles, please tell me. Maybe I can help you share some of them."

His voice was gentle and sincere, like the warm sun in winter, making people feel extremely at ease.

Yan Liuli shook her head slightly, and her black hair swayed gently.

"You don't understand. There are some things that I can only bear on my own."

Her tone was firm and resolute, making it impossible to refute.

She turned around and sat back at the stone table, picked up the teacup, but put it down again, as if lost in thought.

The slender fingers gently stroked the edge of the teacup, as if thinking about something important.

Baili Changge also returned to his seat and looked at her quietly.

His mind was full of thoughts. He wanted to share some of the pressure with her, but he didn't know where to start.

He could only accompany her silently and give her some silent support.

"Master Yan, how long do you plan to stay in Tianqi City this time?"

Baili Changge broke the silence and asked.

Yan Liuli raised her head, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

"It depends on the situation. Maybe a few days, maybe longer."

Her voice was a little vague, making it difficult to understand her true thoughts.

Baili Changge nodded, "So, what are your plans during this time?"

Yan Liuli thought for a moment and said, "I want to understand the situation in Tianqi City and see if there is any news that is beneficial to the Southwest Road."

Her eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness and decisiveness, which was the temperament a leader should have.

Baili Changge smiled slightly, "I can help you with this."

"The situation in Apocalypse City has been unpredictable recently, with various forces fighting openly and secretly, but I also know a thing or two."

His eyes were full of confidence, as if he knew the situation in Apocalypse City very well.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Yan Liuli's eyes, "Then I'll trouble you."

There was a hint of gratitude in her voice, which showed her trust and dependence on him.

.........

......

...

In the following time, Baili Changge gave Yan Liuli a detailed introduction to the situation in Tianqi City and some of the intelligence he had.

Yan Liuli listened very carefully, occasionally raising questions and expressing her own opinions.

Her eyes were focused and sharp, as if analyzing every detail.

The two of them were discussing so heatedly that they seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.

Before I knew it, it was getting late.

The servant came in and lit the candles, and the room suddenly became bright.

The warm candlelight flickered, as if telling an ancient story.

After Baili Changge introduced the situation in Tianqi City to Yan Liuli, the two fell into a brief silence.

There seemed to be a subtle atmosphere in the air, making people feel both nervous and expectant.

Yan Liuli's eyes were a little wandering, as if she was thinking about something important.

Finally, Yan Liuli turned her head away, as if she didn't want Baili Changge to see her expression.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Last time...last time, things didn't go as I wished."

When she said this, her cheeks flushed slightly, as beautiful as the sunset in the sky.

The blush spread from her cheeks to her ears, like a blooming peach blossom, so beautiful and tempting.
