Zhou Yu stopped in his tracks and turned around.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there something else?"

Si Lanyue opened her mouth but hesitated to speak. In the end, she forced a smile.

"It's nothing."

Zhou Yu was puzzled, but he didn't ask further. He turned and left with Yun Feifei.

On the way back, Yun Feifei looked at Zhou Yu and asked:

"Zhou Yu, what do you plan to do next?"

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said:

"Since the people from the Divine Sword Sect are appearing in Hang City, it's just the right time. When we get back, I'll find a way to gather more information about the Divine Sword Sect."

"And incidentally, find out if there's a better treasure sword."

"Now that there's no Martial Pavilion, we have to rely on ourselves to gather information."

Yun Feifei smiled slightly.

"That's easy, leave it to me. I have some connections; I'll find someone to inquire."

Yun Feifei said confidently.

"Okay!"

When they returned to Hang City, it was already noon. After a day and night of traveling, Yun Feifei was tired and hungry, and they went directly to a restaurant near their hotel to eat.

After entering, they found a booth to sit down.

Just as they were ordering, a clear voice suddenly came.

"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect to see you here."

Hearing this voice, Zhou Yu looked up only to see two girls arm-in-arm, smiling as they approached.

The one speaking was the daughter of Bian Haisheng from the Bian Family, whom they met in the alley two days ago.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"You must be Uncle Bian's daughter. I still don't know your name."

"I'm Bian Shanshan, and this is my friend Zhang Dan."

"Shanshan, hello. Are you here for lunch too?"

"Why don't we eat together?"

Zhou Yu asked with a smile.

Actually, Bian Shanshan approached Zhou Yu out of curiosity.

Over the years, her father had kept her abroad. She vaguely knew it was related to an old family grudge but did not know the specifics.

She happened to meet Zhou Yu when she returned yesterday.

She keenly sensed that Zhou Yu had an unusual relationship with her father and knew things about her family.

That's why Bian Shanshan initiated the greeting, hoping to find out more from Zhou Yu.

However, just as Bian Shanshan was about to agree, Zhang Dan suddenly spoke up:

"Shanshan, let's eat on our own."

"Didn't you see?"

"He's with his girlfriend."

With that, Zhang Dan scoffed coldly at Zhou Yu.

"Since you have a girlfriend, don't flirt around outside, so you don't upset her."

"Hmph, Shanshan, let's go."

Saying this, she dragged Bian Shanshan away.

Bian Shanshan looked helpless, wanting to explain, but Zhang Dan gave her no chance to speak.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu was speechless.

Next to him, Yun Feifei was quite at ease and teased:

"Zhou Yu, you didn't really fall for that girl, did you?"

"If that's the case, I can give you some time alone."

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes.

"Sister Yun, that joke isn't funny at all."

Yun Feifei covered her mouth, giggling.

But then, Zhou Yu suddenly furrowed his brows and looked in the direction where Bian Shanshan and Zhang Dan had left, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

Seeing Zhou Yu staring at Bian Shanshan's back, Yun Feifei was taken aback.

"Zhou Yu, you didn't really fall for that girl, did you?"

"She's pretty, but isn't she a bit too young..."

"..."

Zhou Yu was speechless.

He shook his head and said:

"Something's not right."

"An expert in the Great Innate Realm is following Bian Shanshan."

At these words, even Yun Feifei was stunned.

Bian Shanshan was just an ordinary girl, so why would such an expert tail her?

Yun Feifei immediately thought of one possibility.

"Could it be because of the Thick Earth Spirit Plate?"

Yun Feifei whispered.

Zhou Yu appeared thoughtful.

"Logically, it shouldn't be possible."

"Because Bian Haisheng has kept this information well-guarded, and aside from the Zhu Family, no one else should know."

After a brief pause, Zhou Yu continued:

"But it doesn't rule out the possibility that the Zhu Family leaked it."

"After all, this secret involves the Ancient Spirit Land."

With this in mind, Zhou Yu stood up and said:

"Sister Yun, you continue eating; I'll go take a look."

"After all, this time we successfully obtained the Thick Earth Spirit Plate, so we owe Bian Haisheng a favor."

"I'll check up on his daughter to prevent any mishaps."

Hearing this, Yun Feifei immediately said:

"I'll go with you."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said:

"No need."

"Perhaps there will be sudden developments on the way that will need your attention."

"Let's stay in touch."

Yun Feifei nodded.

"Alright, be careful."

Zhou Yu nodded slightly and then chased after them.

Along the way, Bian Susu and Zhang Dan were shopping and chatting all the while.

The master in the Great Innate Realm trailed closely behind them.

The person appeared quite young, likely in his early thirties, dressed in casual attire, quite handsome, but upon closer inspection, his eyes were a deep blue.

Zhou Yu's heart stirred.

This person seemed to be a foreigner, but with some Dragon Country ancestry.

While Zhou Yu was observing in secret, this young man suddenly picked up his pace, caught up with Bian Shanshan, and started a conversation with them.

Though Zhou Yu followed at a distance, with his Divine Sense, he could easily hear their conversation.

The young man used the pretext of asking for directions to engage them, quickly enchanting Zhang Dan.

But Bian Shanshan remained vigilant and directly declined the young man's request, preparing to leave with Zhang Dan.

Seeing that Bian Shanshan wasn't taking the bait, the young man's eyes narrowed as he prepared to use force.

A surge of True Qi within him was secretly being stimulated, ready to strike the two girls.

But at this moment, a voice called out.

"Shanshan, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into you again..."

Zhou Yu walked over with a smile.
