Both of them were meditating with their eyes closed.

Suddenly.

Young Master Hao opened his eyes, shook his head, and said, "No, I really can’t calm down."

"Me neither."

"Even someone as good as Brother Shen and Li He isn’t spared, this Qin Feiyang is simply insane."

"I really hope Brother Gongsun and the others can catch this guy soon, then I’ll definitely kill him with my own hands!"

Wang Youer opened her eyes, her face full of anger and murderous intent.

"If it were that easy to catch him, the old men wouldn’t have been so troubled."

Young Master Hao sighed.

Hearing this, Wang Youer couldn’t help but feel powerless.

If not even the General Tower’s Divine Envoy can find him, just where is this person hiding?

Clearly.

The news of Shen Feiyun and Li He’s deaths had also reached Young Master Hao and Wang Youer.

Following that.

Wang Youer angrily said again, "And Ancestor Mu, too. We’ve waited for him for two months, and he still hasn’t come. What on earth is he doing?"

"He must be held up by something!"

Young Master Hao guessed.

Wang Youer said angrily, "Even if something’s up, it shouldn’t take this long!"

The evening of the day they parted ways with Qin Feiyang, they had already arrived here, intending to wait for him, but they didn’t expect the wait to last two months.

The most frustrating thing was, there wasn’t even a message.

"How about I send him a message?"

Young Master Hao asked.

"No way!"

"Why should we be the ones to send him a message first?"

"Who does he think he is!"

Wang Youer snorted coldly.

Young Master Hao shook his head helplessly.

In fact, this wasn’t the first time he had suggested sending a message to Qin Feiyang, but he was always stopped by Wang Youer.

Of course, Young Master Hao knew that Wang Youer’s actions were solely out of spite towards Qin Feiyang.

He also noticed.

This Little Witch had already developed some feelings for Qin Feiyang, though Wang Youer herself was completely unaware of it.

Wang Youer suddenly said, "Why don’t we just leave him?"

Young Master Hao looked slightly surprised, frowned, and said, "That wouldn’t be right, after all, we came together, and besides, the Inner Sea is extremely dangerous. Without you, a Nine-Star War Saint, to protect him, he might die here."

"Annoying."

Wang Youer was extremely annoyed.

Young Master Hao’s eyes glinted with a hint of amusement. Although this Little Witch talked tough, she couldn’t really let go of Qin Feiyang.

"Forget about Ancestor Mu for now, it’s the actions of those people that are really puzzling."

Young Master Hao walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down at the ravine below, his gaze flickering.

In his line of sight, there was a pond several feet wide.

Around the pond sat nine burly men, looking fierce, and their auras were extremely strong.

Young Master Hao said, "They haven’t left yet, what on earth do they plan to do?"

"They must be waiting for that scarred man."

Wang Youer walked to Young Master Hao’s side, scanning the nine burly men, and said softly.

This group had arrived here more than a month ago.

A scarred man accompanied them.

But on the very day they arrived, the scarred man left the nine without a word and entered the Inner Sea alone.

For more than a month, the nine hadn’t moved an inch, nor uttered a word, which was certainly puzzling.

Moreover.

The strength of these people was very formidable.

All nine burly men had the cultivation of Nine-Star War Saints.

The scarred man who had left exuded a majestic imperial aura.

It was precisely upon discovering the strength of these people that Wang Youer and Young Master Hao refrained from greeting them, instead observing from the mountaintop.

After all, this was Qinghai, and one should be cautious in encounters with anyone.

"Someone’s coming!"

Suddenly!

Wang Youer’s eyes twitched, and she quickly pulled Young Master Hao to hide behind a rock, where they peeked out.

Soon.

They saw a burly middle-aged man rushing in from the direction of the Inner Sea.

The middle-aged man was about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a pitch-black robe, and had a finger-length scar on the right side of his face, making him appear quite intimidating!

"It’s the one who went into the Inner Sea alone!"

Young Master Hao’s eyes focused.

The scarred man flew onto the island and proceeded directly to the nine burly men, speaking to them in a low voice.

Wang Youer and Young Master Hao also stepped out from behind the rock, returning to the edge of the cliff, their gaze fixed on the scarred man.

The distance was too far, so they couldn’t hear what the scarred man was saying.

Young Master Hao communicated silently, "Sis, he came back from the Inner Sea; he might know the location of the Dan Fire. Should I go find out more?"

"Just look at their faces, you can tell they’re not good people, don’t create unnecessary trouble."

Wang Youer said quietly.

"Sis, since when did you start judging people by their looks?"

Young Master Hao smiled bitterly.

"Do I even need to learn that?"

"That bastard Moo is the best example."

Wang Youer said.

Young Master Hao said helplessly, "Sis, you’ve wronged Brother Moo. Sure, he doesn’t look great, but he’s really a decent person."

Wang Youer snorted, "His looks are more than just bad, they’re downright ugly."

"Uh!"

Young Master Hao was taken aback, shaking his head with a wry smile.

As the saying goes, love is in the air when you bicker; it seems this sister, unknowingly, has completely fallen for him.

By the pond!

After the scarred man finished speaking, he also found a place to sit cross-legged, closing his eyes to rest.

"They still aren’t leaving?"

Young Master Hao was surprised.

"There must be something fishy."

Wang Youer whispered.

The two of them found a hidden place, took out two Taishi Chairs, and lay on them comfortably, chatting idly while monitoring Scarred Man and the others.

Time flew by.

Noon!

A stream of light, like a flash, rushed from the Outer Sea.

"Is it Ancestor Mu?"

Wang Youer and Young Master Hao immediately looked up.

At the same time.

The Scarred Man and the others below also simultaneously opened their eyes and looked up at the stream of light.

Their eyes all flashed with a sharp light.

Soon after.

The stream of light entered the sky above the island.

Everyone finally saw it clearly.

It was a young strong man, completely exposed except for a large pair of shorts made of animal skin.

"What a strong presence!"

Young Master Hao muttered.

"Mm, his cultivation is the same as mine."

Wang Youer nodded.

The Scarred Man and the others showed a hint of disappointment on their faces.

The young strong man didn’t notice Young Master Hao and the others, flying straight over everyone’s heads, not turning back as he left.

"When we first entered Qinghai, that man we met was a Nine-Star War Saint."

"And now this guy, about my age, is also a Nine-Star War Saint."

"How come everyone in Qinghai is so monstrous?"

Young Master Hao frowned.

"I also somewhat underestimated the people here before."

"Now I’m even thinking, some people here might even surpass the geniuses from our Divine City."

Wang Youer said.

"Is this what they mean when they say there’s always a higher mountain?"

"It seems I must work hard."

Young Master Hao whispered.

He finally felt the pressure.

In the past, in Divine City, he was quite proud of his talent and cultivation speed.

But now.

Seeing the strength of Wang Zicheng and the young strong man, he finally understood that he was just deluding himself.

Wang Youer glanced at Young Master Hao, a slight smile unintentionally appearing on her face.

It seems the General Tower Master’s wish has already been realized in advance.

But that bastard with the surname Mu still hasn’t arrived for the rendezvous, really infuriating!

With anger rising in her eyes, she glanced at the Scarred Man and the others below, stood up, and thought secretly, "I can’t wait anymore, let’s go!"

Young Master Hao quickly stood up, grabbing her arm, and smiled apologetically, "Don’t be angry, let’s wait a few more days. If he still doesn’t come, we’ll ignore him and go directly to the Inner Sea."

"You!"

"I really don’t know what benefits he’s given you to make you protect him so much."

Wang Youer said.

"Mind control?"

Young Master Hao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "You’re wrong. I’m not protecting him; I genuinely regard him as a brother."

As he said this, a hint of wistfulness appeared between his eyebrows, and he continued, "You know, with my status and position, I don’t lack friends, but how many are genuine?"

Wang Youer fell silent.

"Sis, don’t just look at how I usually hang out with a gang of fair-weather friends at the Dragon Phoenix Building, thinking I’m a playboy."

"Actually, I’m very aware they are just trying to curry favor with me, wanting to gain benefits from me."

"But I can’t help it. Born into such a family, I’m destined never to have true friends."

"So I have to pretend nothing’s wrong and mess around with them; at least I won’t feel so lonely."

Young Master Hao said.

Wang Youer looked at Young Master Hao in surprise, never expecting him to speak such words.

It was only now that she realized that this was the most genuine side of Young Master Hao.

"As the son of the General Tower Master, it seems glamorous, so dignified, but in reality, it’s not as good as being an ordinary person."

Young Master Hao shook his head, mocking himself.

"There can’t be perfection in the world."

Wang Youer said.

"Yes!"

"Power, status, friendship, family—you can’t have it all."

"But when I met Ancestor Mu, I realized he was someone worth forming a close bond with."

Young Master Hao said.

"Really?"

"But how come I heard that he became your father’s direct disciple because of you?"

Wang Youer frowned.

"This indeed has something to do with me."

"I also know he was using me, but at that time, I didn’t think much of it, after all, it was mutual use!"

"But after spending time together, I found that he’s quite loyal, unlike those hypocritical backstabbers."

"Let me secretly tell you a secret."

Young Master Hao said mysteriously.

"What secret?"

Wang Youer was puzzled.

Young Master Hao said, "You know how my cultivation had been stuck at Nine-Star War Ancestor, unable to break through?"

"I know."

"You even came to me because of this, and I ended up kicking you out."

"Because for such matters, you can only rely on your own efforts, no one else can help."

Wang Youer said.

"No, no, no."

"That guy can do it, he just gave me something to take, and I easily broke through to One-Star War Saint."

Young Master Hao laughed softly.

"What?"

"What did he give you?"

Wang Youer was astonished and suspicious.
