Bai Xiaofan picked up his phone and found what he was looking for. Although his facial expression didn't change, he was even more surprised by the information Mu Dan had given him earlier.

The old man in the neighboring carriage was also someone Mu Dan had previously provided him information on.

This old man wasn't a cultivator, but he had a notable status in the mundane world, being an in-law of the Sima family.

This old man had a granddaughter who caught the eye of a young master from the Sima family, and without any reason, the girl was taken by force.

Such a thing would be a big deal for ordinary people, but for a prestigious family like the Sima family, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

The Sima family waved it off, deciding that the family member who took the girl should marry her, but only in a way that couldn't be publicly acknowledged.

Simply put, it was akin to being kept as a mistress!

Though angry, the old man had no choice but to submit in the face of such powerful forces.

This time, the old man was heading to Jiang Province, then transferring to visit his granddaughter at the Sima family.

The reason Bai Xiaofan wanted this phone was because it contained a photo of him with the Sima family Clan Leader, Sima Liefeng.

According to the information provided by Mu Dan, Sima Liefeng hadn't appeared publicly for decades, presumably focusing on his cultivation.

Yet this time, with an ordinary old man related to the Sima family, Sima Liefeng took a photo with him voluntarily.

This was quite inexplicable.

"Alright, you can return this phone for me. Here's another ten thousand; it was nice working with you!"

As Bai Xiaofan spoke, he had already installed a tracking app on the phone. Then he took a wad of cash from Shen Yi's bag and placed it in front of the three people with Sima Xin.

Hearing Bai Xiaofan's words, the two men looked inquiringly at Sima Xin. Seeing she had no objections, they took the phone back!

"Pleasure doing business. My name is Sima Xin, here's my phone number. If there's anything we can collaborate on in the future, feel free to call me!"

As they say, money makes the world go round, and there's no denying it!

Initially, due to some minor friction, the two groups almost clashed, but after witnessing Bai Xiaofan's wealth, Sima Xin made the first move to leave her contact information with Bai Xiaofan.

What Sima Xin didn't notice was that when she mentioned her name, Bai Xiaofan's pupils contracted slightly.

Sima Xin?

Could there really be such a coincidence in this world?

Could this woman be related to the Sima family?

It shouldn't be. If she were connected, even if only distantly, she wouldn't have fallen into stealing, would she? The Sima family also has their pride!

Nonetheless, Bai Xiaofan asked anyway.

"Oh? Sima Xin, that's a rare surname. I've lived in Nanjing City for twenty years and I've never heard of this surname. You're not from Nanjing City, are you?"

Bai Xiaofan spoke casually, talking while taking sips from a wine flask.

Hearing Bai Xiaofan's words, Sima Xin's body paused slightly. Her two companions also seemed on edge, staring intently at Bai Xiaofan, as if some significant secret had been uncovered.

However, after watching Bai Xiaofan for a while, they realized he appeared to have asked the question casually. After asking, he was just casually drinking wine, with one hand being used as a pillow by Shen Yi beside him.

So casual that he didn't even care whether they left or not.

"It is quite rare. We're from Capital City!"

A moment later, Sima Xin spoke softly, then left with her two companions.

"Mr. Bai, could this Sima Xin have been sent by the Sima family?"

Seeing the three leave, Shen Yi finally spoke.

"Probably not. I've examined it; Sima Xin has no trace of Yuanli. She's just an ordinary person who has practiced martial arts for a few years. And if she really had been sent by the Sima family, she wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal her name!"

Bai Xiaofan shook his head, analyzing rationally, glancing at the station sign outside the window, and quietly memorizing the location.

Regardless, since there's a possibility that Sima Xin was sent by the Sima family, Bai Xiaofan would pay a little more attention. Once back in Nanjing City, he'd send someone to keep an eye on things.

The rest of the journey went without incident, and as the eastern sky brightened, Bai Xiaofan and Shen Yi walked out of Nanjing City North Station.

Looking at the city that was both familiar and strange, Bai Xiaofan suddenly felt a bit emotional.

However, Bai Xiaofan's sentiment was different from most people's sentimentality; it was an effect of the Reincarnation Artistic Conception within him!

Since consuming the Reincarnation Fruit, Bai Xiaofan had already grasped the Reincarnation Artistic Conception. However, due to his understanding of thirty-six cycles of reincarnation, Bai Xiaofan's comprehension was much stronger than those who had consumed the fruit before.

Bai Xiaofan believed that if he could eventually comprehend a hundred cycles of reincarnation, it's not just his cultivation he would master; solely his Reincarnation Artistic Conception could battle some top masters. Even facing Lie Wuhen or Ye Wulei, he'd have nothing to fear!

But right now, with only an understanding of thirty-six cycles of reincarnation, Bai Xiaofan was not arrogant enough to confront those two entities solo.

"Let's go home!"

Bai Xiaofan casually hailed a taxi, speaking to Shen Yi beside him.

Hearing Bai Xiaofan's words, Shen Yi didn't know what crossed her mind, but a blush of shyness flashed in her beautiful eyes.

The taxi didn't stop directly at the Bai mansion but went around to the back. After getting out, the two casually entered a mall, and then found an empty spot and vanished!

In the next moment, Bai Xiaofan and Shen Yi were back in the courtyard.

Since it was early morning, Su Shiqi, He Miaor, and the other girls were getting ready for breakfast. Suddenly, when Yu'er and Yuan'er sensed some Yuanli fluctuations, they thought the Sima family had broken in and immediately stood up, vigilantly eyeing a direction!

But when the space distorted slightly and they saw the two people who appeared, the girls eating at the table were all stunned in shock.

Especially Jiang Feifei, who was eating while holding on to her chicken leg. After a moment of shock, she tossed away the chicken leg and rushed into one of the people's arms without hesitation.

Immediately, Chen Xiner and Murong Wan also came to their senses and followed Jiang Feifei's lead, throwing themselves forward recklessly!

At that moment, all the women's composure was gone, with tears glittering in their eyes.
