The old man laughed and said:

"Over at a stall there, I sensed the presence of the Dragon Blood Stone, but it has already been purchased by someone."

"I followed the scent of the Dragon Blood Stone and did not deliberately target you, fellow Daoist."

Yang Yan smiled and asked:

"I see! Now that you've found me, is there anything you need, sir?"

The old man quickly said:

"Young friend, I wonder if you can part with it. This Dragon Blood Stone is very important to me, and I will offer you a satisfactory price."

Although the other party spoke politely, Yang Yan gently shook his head:

"Sorry, I need this Dragon Blood Stone too."

He finished speaking and started to leave, seeing this, the old man hurriedly said:

"Young friend, please wait."

Yang Yan frowned and said lightly:

"Is there anything else, sir? I've said that I need this stone and will not sell it."

The old man awkwardly said:

"Please don't rush to refuse, could you at least take a look at the price I'm offering?"

Yang Yan suddenly laughed:

"I'm serious, I need this stone too, and no matter what price you offer, I won't sell it."

The old man was still persistent, sighing as he said:

"Why must you be so distant, young friend? I am truly sincere!"

He said this while extending his hands, his aura suddenly changing.

"Oh! Planning to make a move?"

Yang Yan looked at the old man with a cold sneer.

"There's no choice! Since you won't yield, and I must obtain this Dragon Blood Stone, I can only make a move."

The old man said slowly.

"Then go ahead! What's the point of saying so much? It's a waste of time!"

With that, Yang Yan and the old man simultaneously charged at each other.

Because they were at Pan Garden, both were careful not to go overboard, and only engaged in physical attacks, fists flying.

After exchanging a few rounds, they quickly separated.

Yang Yan looked coldly at the old man, who was panting heavily at the side.

After a short while, the old man said with difficulty:

"Ah, I'm old, and useless. When I used to fight, it wasn't like this."

After saying that, he slowly pulled out a short sword from his waist and looked at Yang Yan, saying:

"Do you really not plan to accommodate me, young friend?"

Despite his words, the old man moved swiftly.

In the next instant, he was in front of Yang Yan, and reversed his hand to stab the short sword towards Yang Yan's underarm.

Yang Yan's pupils shrank abruptly, and he reached out to firmly smack the oncoming sword tip.

Crack!

The short sword broke with the sound, and Yang Yan again distanced himself from the old man, and coldly said:

"Ancient Martial Artist?"

Seeing Yang Yan break his steel short sword with one palm, the old man was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion:

"Who exactly are you, young friend? Such excellent skills!"

"Tch! Fighting with an old guy like you is so uninteresting, losing brings disgrace, winning is accused of disrespecting the elderly."

"You are not my opponent, so stop following me. This time I'm showing respect to Frost Heaven, if you come again, I won't be polite."

With that, Yang Yan turned and walked away.

"Who exactly are you? Why do you know Master Frost Heaven's name?"

If at first the old man only wanted to snatch the Dragon Blood Stone, now he truly had murderous intent.

Frost Heaven was a taboo in their family, a taboo that no one could mention.

"He's with me now, who do you think I am? Alright, go now! I'll pretend today never happened. If there's a next time, don't blame me for not showing Frost Heaven respect."

Yang Yan finished speaking, his figure disappeared, vanishing directly into the small alley.

"Together with Master Frost Heaven? This fellow is Moonlight!"

The old man stared blankly at the direction Yang Yan vanished, then gave a bitter smile, turned and walked swiftly towards the outside of the alley.

After exiting the alley, Yang Yan headed directly to a nearby roast duck shop at Pan Garden.

Entering the shop, Yang Yan quickly found a group of people eating at a table by the window.

He walked over, pulled a chair over, and sat down heavily.

"Everything settled?"

Zhou Hanyun handed Yang Yan a pair of gloves and asked quietly.

"Yes, it's all settled, no problem."

Yang Yan took the gloves and began peeling his roast duck.

"Daddy eat, Daddy eat."

Ruyi and Cai'Er each peeled a piece, handing it over to Yang Yan while speaking sweetly.

"Yes, you two are so good."

Yang Yan smiled, took the food from the two little ones, devoured it, then took out the Dragon Blood Stone and handed it to Ruyi:

"Here you go, when we get back tonight, Dad will make it into a necklace and let you wear it around your neck, alright?"

"Yes! Thank you, Dad."

Ruyi happily accepted the Dragon Blood Stone and hugged it tightly, speaking joyfully.

"Alright, you two father and daughter hurry up and eat, it will get cold in a while. It won't taste good when it's cold."

Zhou Hanyun reminded them with a smile.

"Humph!"

At that moment, Zhou Hanyu couldn't help but snort after being ignored.

Yang Yan looked at Zhou Hanyu inexplicably, not knowing why she was angry.

However, he did not say much and continued eating voraciously.

Fighting consumes a lot of energy, so this kind of greasy food is perfect for replenishing.

After finishing their meal, they continued to stroll around Pan Garden.

But during this time, Zhou Hanyu was noticeably less enthusiastic.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Hanyun couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing really, just feel a bit unnecessary."

Zhou Hanyu said lightly.

"Uh... why would you think that? We are a family! No one is unnecessary."

Zhou Hanyun asked suspiciously.

"Really? But I feel a bit out of place. Besides, there's also..."

Zhou Hanyu didn't continue, pursing her lips, then changed the subject:

"Let's go, it's getting cold, let's return to the hotel!"

Upon hearing Zhou Hanyu's words, Zhou Hanyun didn't continue the topic.

So, Yang Yan called the business car they had earlier to come and pick them up.

After returning to the hotel, Zhou Hanyu went straight to her room.

Yang Yan also went back to his room.

Just as he was lying on the bed wondering what to do next, the door quietly opened.

The one who entered was Zhou Hanyun.

She looked at Yang Yan and hesitated to say:

"Can we talk?"

"What's wrong?"

Yang Yan asked perplexed.

"It's not a big deal, just wanted to ask what you think of Hanyu."

Zhou Hanyun said, biting her lip.

"Why would you ask that? How do I see her? Of course, I see her as a sister. What's wrong? You sound strange today."

Yang Yan was even more puzzled.

"Haha! I realize that girl might be falling for you."

Zhou Hanyun looked at Yang Yan, speaking seriously.
