The man's eyes were fixed on Yang Yan for a full three seconds before he softly said:

"If you know what's good for you, give me that thing, and I'll let you go."

"Who do you think you are? Just opening your mouth and wanting me to give you something worth two million, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"

Yang Yan knew that this man hadn't discovered his true identity, so he simply acted as if he knew nothing, speaking angrily.

"Very well. I've warned you. You're courting death yourself, so don't blame anyone else!"

The man dropped these words and walked away without looking back.

"I don't know what you took, but that guy just now is not simple. You'd better give it to him."

The old man watched the man's swiftly disappearing figure, then raised his head to kindly remind Yang Yan.

"Senior, you'd better worry about yourself! To be honest, he only thinks that the girl is the Spiritual Jade, but I've seen something different! Don't be afraid to hear the truth, even I am quite tempted now!"

Yang Yan too stared at the little girl, his eyes blazing as he spoke.

Hearing Yang Yan's words, the old man immediately became alert, and his aura surged, enveloping both himself and the little girl.

Yang Yan was right; that man earlier at most took the girl for Spiritual Jade, but there was more to it.

This was his way of concealing the girl, which was the effect he wanted.

He just never expected that the young man in front of him would directly point it out.

Spiritual Jade might be rare, but compared to the girl's true form, it was like comparing a lesser to a greater.

But did this mysterious man in front of them really see it?

The old man didn't dare to gamble.

Because the girl's true form was enough to drive anyone mad.

The Hidden World does not enter the present world; this is an unwritten rule, and no one dared to break it easily.

But with this girl, who would care about those rules?

"Don't be nervous, I won't resort to force-snatching. However, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have always been reserved for the virtuous, and since I've encountered this, I can't bear to miss out."

"Tonight, I'll come by. If you can't protect her, then hand her over to me. Don't worry, I won't use her for Alchemy, that would be a waste."

After he finished speaking, Yang Yan called Zhou Hanyun, picked up the gifts she had already chosen, and without any intention of paying, turned and left.

After seeing Yang Yan leave, the old man's brows furrowed even deeper.

At that moment, his heart seemed to be weighed down by a mountain.

If it were just that man, he felt he had some confidence.

But with Yang Yan, he had no certainty at all.

He could only sense Yang Yan's extraordinariness because of his own unique constitution.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't discern how strong Yang Yan truly was.

Moreover, Yang Yan seemed to know the girl's true form, which was even more bewildering.

At the very least, it meant he had already seen through the Illusion Technique he had placed on the little girl.

This also proved from another angle that he might not be Yang Yan's opponent.

On the way, Yang Yan did not say a word; he was just thinking about whether he should act tonight if the old man managed to protect the girl.

Spiritual Jade?

Heh!

Are you kidding me?

"What's wrong? Is that little girl very special?"

Zhou Hanyun hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask cautiously.

She had heard their entire conversation just now.

But she always listened in a daze, becoming more confused the more she thought about it.

Yang Yan didn't intend to hide anything, smiling as he explained to her:

"Yes, that little girl is very special, she's not human, she's a Divine Stone. Um... how should I explain this to you? Right, you've heard the story about Lady Nuwa mending the sky with the Five-Colored Divine Stone, haven't you?"

"Yes, I've heard it."

Zhou Hanyun gently nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a look of anticipation.

She was already curious about Yang Yan.

So much so that she wanted to learn everything related to him.

Zhou Hanyun had realized that the world Yang Yan was revealing to her was one that completely overturned her understanding, and she was filled with anticipation.

"Let's put it this way, that girl is in the juvenile stage of the Five-Colored Divine Stone. If given more time, she might become the Five-Colored Divine Stone. Without Lady Nuwa's Divine Power to refine, mending the sky naturally wouldn't work, but using her to mend individuals would be more than enough."

"Do we have to eat it?"

Zhou Hanyun asked with some tension.

Yang Yan knew what she was worried about and chuckled softly:

"Don't worry, I promised that senior I wouldn't hurt her! However, I can't say the same for others."

"Will you snatch it back tonight?"

Zhou Hanyun asked again.

"We'll see," Yang Yan said, gazing into the distance, "Such a precious item will undoubtedly attract fierce competition. If that old man can protect her, then I naturally won't take action. Otherwise, I can't just watch her being taken by others!"

"Is she really that important?"

Zhou Hanyun asked, almost incredulously.

"More than important!" Yang Yan raised an eyebrow, "If she's made into medicine, then an ordinary person who takes it will become a Superpower User, and even if luck is terrible, they can enter the Hidden World. If someone in the Hidden World eats it, then it will fill all their flaws."

Zhou Hanyun didn't speak, just looked at him suspiciously, seeming a bit perplexed.

Yang Yan continued:

"For example, if someone can only score sixty in exams, she can fill the remaining forty points. For someone in the Hidden World, imagine what a huge advantage that would be."

"However, I also know her stronger uses, ones that won't harm her. But seeing how she and that old man look, I am quite hesitant about whether to act tonight."

Zhou Hanyun thought for a moment with furrowed brows:

"It's too cruel to make medicine out of such a cute child, to eat her, I don't want her to be hurt."

Speaking this, Zhou Hanyun looked at Yang Yan with imploring eyes, her intent almost self-evident.

Yang Yan sighed lightly, as if speaking from the heart:

"The Hidden World is inherently cruel, and its people are no saints. Even if the girl were human, they'd still use her to make medicine."

Yang Yan's words were so harsh that Zhou Hanyun felt even more worried.

However, soon after, she gazed at Yang Yan with firm eyes, speaking softly:

"I don't know about others, but I know you're a good person. If you won't hurt the little girl, then act tonight! Otherwise, if she falls into someone else's hands, she will surely die."

"If it really can't be helped, take the old man along too. It's just an old man, we can afford to keep him. The only question is whether he has children."

Although Zhou Hanyun's words sounded somewhat naive, they solidified Yang Yan's resolve.

Everything will be left to tonight!

Yang Yan thought in his heart.
