With a pop sound, Cai'Er happily held Nine Treasures in her arms.

But just as Cai'Er reached out to hold Nine Treasures, Nine Treasures suddenly opened its eyes.

Then, it stared at Cai'Er with great interest, and kept "woo-woo"ing continuously.

"Yes! I was also brought back by dad. My name is Cai'Er."

Cai'Er said to Nine Treasures.

"Ah! It seems we can't keep it a secret after all! Even as small as Nine Treasures is, it can see through Cai'Er's extraordinariness, we need to think of another way!"

Ever since Zhou Hanyu took Cai'Er inside, Yang Yan stood at the doorway, listening to the conversation inside quite clearly.

The whole morning flew by, and Zhou Hanyu enthusiastically took Cai'Er and Nine Treasures out to eat.

As they just left, Yang Yan told Zhou Hanyun that he had something to do outside and then left as well.

Zhou Hanyun, exhausted from the past few days, just wanted to rest and shrank back into the room.

Upon leaving the apartment, Yang Yan took out his phone and called Mu Qingcheng and Fatty, arranging to meet at Fatty's bar.

He also asked Fatty to inform Xiaocao, saying he had something quite important to discuss with them.

When Yang Yan arrived at the bar, everyone was already there.

"Boss, when did you come back?"

Fatty immediately went up to ask when he saw Yang Yan walk in.

"Returned last night. It was too late, so I didn't inform you all."

Yang Yan replied.

"King, what's the matter that you've gathered us all?"

Xiaocao always maintained a respectful demeanor.

"Well, there's something I need to explain to you. By the way, where's Ruyi?"

Upon entering, Yang Yan didn't see the girl Ruyi.

"I've arranged for her to attend a school, how come?"

Zhuge Wushuang asked with a smile.

"It's nothing." Yang Yan shook his head, "I was originally going to introduce her to a new friend. But now let's talk about the main matter."

Noticing Yang Yan's expression turn serious, everyone instinctively sat up straight.

Except Xiaocao, who was always standing in front of Yang Yan.

"Here's the situation..."

Yang Yan recounted the events that happened in Myanmar and Cainan, then took a big gulp from a label-less bottle of alcohol.

Since returning to Huaxia, he hadn't had a good drink in a long while.

Of course, the drinking bet at the street food stalls didn't count.

"Immortal Slaying Array, huh? That's a bit troublesome! I still don't have a clue about the dragon missing under East Sea City. I've investigated, and even tried using time reversal to no avail. The other side worked very cleanly, seemingly intentionally avoiding us."

Fatty said, frowning.

This guy, who usually seemed nonchalant, rarely looked this serious.

"I've established the intelligence network here, but it'll take some time to seize any results. However, I did receive some news, though I'm not sure about its accuracy yet."

Xiaocao carefully said.

"What news?"

Yang Yan downed a bottle of alcohol and wiped his mouth before asking.

"I heard that Blood Amber and Sarahville will appear at next month's antique auction in East Sea."

Xiaocao said.

Upon hearing this news, Yang Yan furrowed his brow deeply.

"Verify it as soon as possible!" he said coldly, "If the news is true, then we need to be prepared. Someone is indeed up to something, and it's a huge undertaking."

"From Spirit Wings, Vipers to Black Gold Slaughter City, now even Blood Amber and Sarahville are about to appear. Five of the ten daggers have surfaced, and with Juechen's two, now there are seven. I believe the remaining three will appear in succession."

Though Fatty might seem unreliable, when it came to serious matters, one could absolutely count on him as a great executor.

Hearing Yang Yan's words, he too attached great importance and immediately asked:

"Boss, what should we do next, just give the orders! According to you, the dragon missing in East Sea City is definitely related to the recent events."

Yang Yan nodded:

"The dragon at Dian Lake in Cainan has been slaughtered, Fu Changjian is probably already investigating. He should handle things alone there. Jing Hong and Frost Heaven are looking into the Immortal Slaying Array."

"Ruyan and Sanqian are together, they are in the Secret Realm and can't come out for now. This was told to me by Frost Heaven. Including you four, only Red Dust is still unaccounted for. We're a bit short of hands."

At this, Yang Yan suddenly gazed up at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.

Familiar with this gesture, the group instinctively exchanged glances.

Because they knew whenever Yang Yan did this, it indicated he was planning a big move.

They even vividly remembered that the last time he struck this pose, he shattered the sky of the Hidden World.

What will it be this time?

After about ten minutes of silence, Yang Yan suddenly sat up straight and instructed in a deep voice:

"Xiaocao, have your people prioritize investigating the other dagger's whereabouts. Also, since the Mountain of Light has appeared, watch out for other signs too."

"Wushuang and Juechen, Christina will send a piece of Dragon-Seeking Jade over in a couple of days. Use it to quickly find out whether the dragon is dead or alive."

"Qingcheng, your job is to find Red Dust, that guy might be lazing around somewhere. We are short on manpower, so get him over here quickly."

"And get Cicada Wings ready for me. I want to fully shield the Five-Colored Stone's aura. Sort these things out as soon as possible; whatever those people's motives might be, we don't fight battles without preparation."

"If I'm not wrong, Hidden World is about to plunge into chaos, significant turbulence, a completely upheaved world!"

"Let's just hope they'll come to the present a bit later, give us some more time. If you do encounter them, I authorize you to use full force."

Upon hearing Yang Yan's last words, Zhuge Wushuang's beautiful eyes lit up at once:

"Full power allowed?"

Not just her, even Fatty and Xiaocao, along with Mu Qingcheng, looked at Yang Yan in surprise.

Yang Yan shrugged with a wry smile:

"Alright, stop staring at me one by one. I don't prefer this either, but unfortunately, the world isn't as we wish now. With trouble brewing, without giving you some reassurance, I'm not at peace either. That's all; inform me when there are updates."

After finishing, Yang Yan picked up a bottle of alcohol and turned to leave.

As he reached the door, an empty bottle accurately landed in the trash bin.

After Yang Yan left, Xiaocao was the first to depart.

She always regarded herself as a servant, and carried out Yang Yan's orders meticulously.
