"Not contacting them? You really don't miss them that much?" An Qi questioned, finding Lin Yifan's explanation really funny.

"It's not that I don't miss them, it's just that I've gone to the Medicinal Saint Valley to cultivate, and it will take a long time before I can return. So, connecting or not connecting is the same," Lin Yifan replied.

"Liar, how long are you going to keep lying to me? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, unable to understand adult motives?"

An Qi was heartbroken, feeling like everyone was treating her as an outsider, which made her very upset.

Everyone in the living room remained silent because they also felt sad and didn't know how to explain the situation to An Qi.

After a long silence, as the pillar of the family, Lin Yifan came over, hugged An Qi, and comforted her, "Darling, I swear, in a while, I'll bring them back to meet you."

"Don't touch me! You even lied to me, how can I trust you?"

An Qi pushed away Lin Yifan's hands, not believing what he said.

"Sigh!"

Everyone in the living room sighed, and then Lin Yifan's parents persuaded, "Fan'er, just tell An Qi, after all, we're family, and we face everything together."

Lin Yifan also felt that it couldn't be hidden from An Qi any longer, so he chose to be honest, "Do you really want to know the truth?"

"Yes!"

"Then you must promise me that after hearing it, you must not act impulsively or do anything foolish, OK?"

"I promise you," An Qi replied.

"Here's the situation: six months ago, Qingqing and Jiajia were successively captured by people from the Shadow Organization and the Bloodsucking Sect and have not returned since."

"What kind of organizations are the Shadow Organization and the Bloodsucking Sect? Where are they?"

An Qi was extremely curious, having never heard of these two cultivation organizations, and wanted to know more details.

"They are both foreign cultivation organizations, one in the Empire of Dongying and the other in the West. Combined, their strength is no less than the entire Central Plains Cultivation World; with our current strength, we are truly powerless, so please don't do anything foolish!"

An Qi finally understood why her family had hidden it from her; they were worried she would act rashly and do something foolish.

Honestly, she was very angry; if she had acted without knowing these two cultivation organizations' strength, she might have stormed in alone to demand an explanation.

"Yifan, your Master, the Bright True Master, is so powerful. Did you ask him for help?"

"I did, but it's useless because these two foreign cultivator organizations are filled with experts. Unless the entire Central Plains Cultivation World attacks together, not only would we fail to rescue them, but we would also lose our lives for nothing."

"Did you try persuading the various sects in the Central Plains Cultivation World to help?" An Qi pressed.

"Can you persuade them? Who are you to them? Why would they help a young kid like you?" Lin Yifan retorted.

"You can ask your Master to persuade them."

"Even if my Master personally goes, it's useless because these people are profit-driven and would never help without reason. Didn't you see? Just now, they turned against my Master in order to kill me."

An Qi understood this logic, but as it was the only way to save Sister Jiajia and Little Sister Qingqing, was it really to be abandoned like this?

"Then what shall we do? Just let Sister Jiajia and Little Sister Qingqing be bullied?"

"Of course not. To rescue them, there's only one way: to become strong oneself. Only by becoming strong can one defeat all the enemies in the world," Lin Yifan replied.

"Then I'll return to Cinnabar Palace tomorrow to cultivate properly, striving to become the strongest as soon as possible."

"Darling, listen to me, some things can't be rushed, especially at our realm, you shouldn't damage your foundation in pursuit of speed."

"Yifan, don't worry, I have a special physique, and I can avoid many troubles."

"Some things simply can't be avoided. Can you stop deceiving yourself, please?"

What he feared most was An Qi in this state, doing crazy and foolish things beyond persuasion.

"But are we just going to let Sister Jiajia and Little Sister Qingqing continue to suffer in some unknown place?"

"No, believe me, I will definitely rescue them as soon as possible."

"How will you rescue them alone?" An Qi's eyes welled with tears, feeling the heavy burden on Lin Yifan.

"As long as there is faith in the heart, success is certain!"

Lin Yifan answered resolutely, giving hope to everyone present.

At this moment, An Qi couldn't hold back anymore, collapsing into Lin Yifan's arms and crying bitterly, "Yifan, why did this happen?"

"It's all my fault, everything happened because I caught too much attention."

Lin Yifan was deeply remorseful. If it weren't for researching the antidote recipe, Qingqing wouldn't have been in trouble. If he hadn't fought hard to seize the Orange Immortal Ring, Jiajia wouldn't have been captured by the Bloodsucking Sect.

"Why did you draw attention to yourself?"

"I didn't mean to, but some things just have to be done, or else they won't be allowed by heaven and earth, and good things wouldn't belong to you either."

"It's all your fault, all your fault, causing our sisters not to see each other."

An Qi constantly blamed Lin Yifan, venting her sadness.

"Yes! It's all my fault!"

With a sigh, Lin Yifan fell into deep guilt.

Everything was originally fine, but as they say, tall trees catch more wind, there really was no way around it.

After a long while, An Qi finally calmed down.

At this time, she wiped away her tears from the corners of her eyes, stepped out of Lin Yifan's embrace, and apologized shamefully, "Yifan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you or blamed you just now."

"It's okay; it was indeed my fault, and you were right to blame me!" Lin Yifan replied.

"Yifan, don't blame yourself too much. To save Sister Jiajia, Little Sister Qingqing, you ventured into the Shadow Organization and the Bloodsucking Sect alone, almost losing your life; you've done your best."

Fangfang came over to comfort him, not wanting Lin Yifan to feel too sorrowful.

During these days, she had seen firsthand how much suffering Lin Yifan endured.

For becoming strong as soon as possible, Lin Yifan cultivated desperately, even at the cost of harming his body and damaging his dao foundation, he had done enough.

"What! Going alone to rescue? When did this happen?"

An Qi covered her mouth in shock, tears that had just been stopped flowed again uncontrollably.

She thought Lin Yifan was indifferent, not realizing it was truly a last resort, that he decided to endure silently, showing it was her mistake to blame Lin Yifan earlier.

"Right after Little Sister Qingqing and Sister Jiajia were each captured," Fangfang replied.

"Yifan, why are you so foolish? Why didn't you come to Cinnabar Palace to tell me, at least you'd have someone with you!"

"During both rescues, I wasn't sure I'd survive, how could I dare bring you into danger."

"You are such a fool, what would Fangfang and I do if you didn't return?"
