"Thank you for your hard work, junior brothers!"

"Junior brothers? Could it be that these people are all disciples of Medicinal Saint Valley?"

An Qi was greatly surprised, something she never expected. She had thought they were bodyguards Lin Yifan hired to watch the house.

"That's right!"

"Why are there so many disciples of Medicinal Saint Valley protecting our home?" An Qi pursued the question.

"Because..."

Just as Xiao Fang was about to explain, Lin Yifan interrupted, "Because of my problems. I'm troublesome, there's always someone wanting to capture our family to force me to hand over the Peerless Treasure. Master saw that I couldn't cultivate in peace at the Medicinal Saint Valley, so he sent senior brothers to protect our family."

He feared Xiao Fang might inadvertently reveal the news of Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing being captured by bad people, so he answered quickly.

"I see, but what kind of Peerless Treasure do you have?"

This was what An Qi was most curious about. After experiencing so much, she felt that Lin Yifan was at odds with the entire Central Plains Cultivation World, becoming a thorn in everyone's side. Why was this?

"I don't know either! It's all just speculation by disciples of various sects, like this time." Lin Yifan replied, feigning innocence.

"It's really strange, why do they always mistakenly think you found a Peerless Treasure?"

An Qi was puzzled, unable to understand this issue.

The disciples of Medicinal Saint Valley felt Lin Yifan was good at pretending. If Lin Yifan hadn't found a Peerless Treasure, would the Valley Master favor him so much?

From the conversation among the three, they gathered a huge piece of information, which was that Lin Yifan picked up another Peerless Treasure during this Secret Realm journey.

"Why does he always find the treasures? Why can't others find them?"

"Does he have a treasure halo?"

"Alas! It seems the Valley Master has his reasons for favoring him."

...

The disciples of Medicinal Saint Valley could only feel envy, if they had Lin Yifan's luck, they would have become prominent figures by the side of the Valley Master.

"Sister An Qi, stop thinking about it. Some people just love to be jealous and will try everything to deal with you."

Although Xiao Fang was also puzzled, she believed it was all aimed at Lin Yifan, and that the so-called treasure might just be a front.

"That's true!"

An Qi let go of her concerns, and then she, Lin Yifan, and Xiao Fang entered the house together.

Watching this heavenly immortal-like woman, the eyes of the disciples of Medicinal Saint Valley were filled with heat, their hearts stirring.

An Qi was so beautiful, she was in no way inferior to Sister Xiao Fang, perhaps even surpassing her. They were very curious about An Qi's identity and her relationship with Lin Yifan.

However, seeing Lin Yifan with beauties on both sides, it seemed that this was Lin Yifan's woman, making it unlikely for them.

"Ah! Another flower placed on cow dung."

"Why does that guy always attract beauties?"

"Are all beautiful women blind?"

...

At this moment, aside from sighing, they were powerless.

They couldn't compete with Lin Yifan, nor could they defeat him, so what else could they do?

On the other side, as An Qi stepped into her home and saw the backs of her parents, she was overjoyed: "Mom and Dad! I'm back!"

Hearing An Qi's voice, Mr. and Mrs. An immediately turned around to look.

Although An Qi's hairstyle and clothes had changed, they could still recognize their daughter at a glance, so they jumped up from the sofa excitedly, spreading their arms and rushing towards An Qi.

An Qi also spread her arms to embrace her parents, whom she hadn't seen for many days.

"Qi'er! You're finally back; we've missed you so much. You have no idea how much we've missed you over this past year and more.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."

An Qi felt deeply guilty. She actually wanted to come back earlier. But sometimes, she really got addicted to cultivating, involuntarily pushing herself to cultivate more.

"We're fine, as long as you can come back to visit us occasionally and show some filial piety."

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'll come back often in the future."

"Good, good! With you saying that, we're relieved."

Mr. and Mrs. An felt very content.

More than two months ago, they had asked Lin Yifan to pass a message to An Qi, saying they missed her.

They hadn't held out much hope, but Lin Yifan managed to get it done, which was wonderful.

"Xiao Fan, thank you for bringing our An Qi back." Mr. and Mrs. An were immensely grateful.

"Uncle, Aunt, don't mention it. It is An Qi who missed you. I didn't do much."

Lin Yifan understood what Mr. and Mrs. An meant, but this matter really wasn't his achievement, so he wouldn't take credit for it.

"Credit? What do you mean?" An Qi didn't understand the conversation between her parents and Lin Yifan and was very curious.

To clear up An Qi's confusion, Lin Yifan narrated the events that had happened more than two months ago in detail.

After listening, An Qi came to a sudden realization. She hadn't expected that more than a month ago, Lin Yifan had specifically sought her out, which made her a little touched.

"Feng Feiyan and her group were really awful, to refuse you at the gate and even attempt to kill you."

"It's all in the past now, and they have received their deserved punishment, so let's forgive them," Lin Yifan advised.

There was really no need to be angry with a group of dead people, so letting go was best.

An Qi thought that made sense, so she let go of her hatred.

Now almost everyone was here, except for two familiar sisters, and An Qi was very curious about where Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing had gone. This was one of the reasons she came back, so she asked, "Mom and Dad, where are Sister Jiajia and Sister Qingqing?"

"They..."

Mr. and Mrs. An hesitated, unsure whether to tell An Qi the truth, so they looked toward Lin Yifan for help.

Lin Yifan received their "SOS signal," so he responded for them, "Sweetheart, didn't I say that they went abroad for further studies and travel, and aren't at home."

"Right, right! They went abroad for further studies and can't come back for a while."

Mr. and Mrs. An grabbed onto this lifeline like a straw, with no more hesitation from before.

"Is that so? Then I want to video call them."

An Qi had already suspected the authenticity of this situation, and now seeing her parents' expressions, she doubted even more.

She felt that Sister Jiajia and Sister Qingqing might be in trouble. To spare her from sadness, her family might have chosen to hide this from her.

"Their communication isn't working well where they are; it's impossible to video call," Lin Yifan responded.

"If that's really the case, would you be comfortable sending them to such an unsafe place?"

If a place has poor communication, it often means it's impoverished and backward. She didn't believe Lin Yifan would willingly send Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing to such a place for further studies and travel.

"How is it unsafe? The environment there is great, and the citizens are friendly, it's just that the communication isn't well-developed."

"Then how do you normally connect with them?" An Qi further interrogated.

"We basically don't connect," Lin Yifan answered.
