That boy was better-looking than every other boy they had ever seen!

On the other side.

Now let's turn our attention back to the foot of Spirit Mountain.

Spirit City.

At this very moment.

The hotel designated by the Spirit Hall for our reception.

It's completely in chaos.

Dugu Xin and Ye Qingcheng were still in the hall exchanging pleasantries with several familiar family representatives.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

The two then discovered that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who had been playing nearby, had vanished!

This time.

The two parents were extremely worried.

This is Spirit City, not Heaven Dou City!

Everywhere you look, there are powerful figures and strongmen you can't afford to offend.

If you happen to encounter a Soul Master with a strange temper, you could easily offend them.

The two three-year-old girls were completely powerless to resist.

Moreover, Spirit City is extremely large; finding two children among millions of people is harder than climbing to heaven.

In an instant.

Dugu Xin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

After searching the hotel room but not finding anyone...

They quickly rushed out of the street with Ye Qingcheng.

He grabbed passersby on the street and started asking around, gesturing to show the height and appearance of the two little girls.

Ye Qingcheng was also extremely anxious.

After failing to find them, they prepared to seek help from the Spirit Hall's patrolling knights.

But just when the two were about to break down, two small figures finally came into view, hand in hand.

It was after Xie Yue and Hu Liena sent them down the mountain.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were preparing to sneak back to the hotel.

Upon seeing their two children return safely, Dugu Xin and Ye Qingcheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Yan Yan!"

"Lingling!"

He rushed forward in a few steps.

Without thinking twice, they hugged their daughters tightly, their voices trembling with anxiety as they asked,

Where did you guys run off to?

Ye Qingcheng was the same.

She kept checking her daughter up and down to see if she was injured.

They almost had to use the Soul Power of the Nine Heart Begonia.

I got yelled at by my dad.

The two little girls were already frightened and exhausted from their time on the mountain, and now they felt even more aggrieved.

"Wow--"

They both burst into tears at the same time, feeling wronged.

"Mom, my feet hurt so much..."

Ye Lingling buried herself in Ye Qingcheng's arms, her shoulders aching terribly, feeling extremely wronged.

Dugu Yan was also wiping away tears.

"Waaaaah..."

"Dad, you're yelling at me..."

"Waaaaah, I'm going back to tell your dad..."

Dugu Xin:???

I'm being mean to you?

All I did was raise my voice a little.

Do you even realize how worried you were just now?

Do I have to tell my dad?

I knew it! Grandpa spoiled you rotten!

Despite his thoughts, Dugu Xin still loved his daughter very much, so he didn't pressure her any further.

Only after the two of them had calmed down a bit.

Dugu Xin then put on a stern face and continued to ask them where they had just gone.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Dugu Yan had no choice but to tell the truth, her voice trembling with sobs.

"Us..."

"We're going to Spirit Mountain..."

"What"

Dugu Xin and Ye Qingcheng were immediately shocked.

"You went up to Spirit Mountain?"

Dugu Xin's voice suddenly rose, clearly shocked.

"Nonsense!"

What kind of place is Spirit Mountain?

"The mountain is guarded by the Spirit Hall's Hall Guard Knights everywhere. How could you two little brats possibly get up there?"

Ye Qingcheng also felt that her daughter was lying, and hurriedly asked,

"Lingling, where did you all go?"

"Don't talk nonsense with Yan Yan."

"Waaaaah..."

Ye Lingling's eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was barely audible.

"Mom, Yan Yan wasn't lying. We really did climb the mountain and even got into the Spirit Academy."

"Those uncles in armor made way for us when they saw the Jade Pendant in Yan Yan's hand."

"Jade Pendant?"

Dugu Xin was taken aback again.

He subconsciously looked at Dugu Yan.

"Hiss~"

"Sigh~~~"

"Hiss~"

Dugu Yan sniffed.

Then he reluctantly took out the jade pendant with the word "Chuan" from his pocket.

"Dad, it's this Jade Pendant."

"My mother said in her letter that if I had this, I could move freely through the Spirit Hall. I tried it, and I really got in."

Looking at that Jade Pendant.

Dugu Xin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his scalp tingling.

This Jade Pendant.

Of course he knows him!

It was the very one that Qian Renchuan left behind.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Yan actually took the Jade Pendant to the Eldest Young Master of the Spirit Hall.

Thinking of the potentially terrifying consequences, Dugu Xin's face turned pale, and his voice began to tremble involuntarily.

"Yan Yan, tell your father the truth."

"Did you cause any trouble on the mountain?"

"Without..."

"No..."

The two little girls then sobbed as they briefly recounted what had happened.

"We got lost as soon as we went up, we were so hungry and tired, and then we saw a little boy sleeping on the Back Mountain..."

Two older brothers and sisters, who were about our age, blocked our way.

"That young man was so kind. After seeing the Jade Pendant, he gave us dried meat and pastries, and even had those two people escort us down."

After listening to their two daughters' accounts and confirming that they had only encountered a few children and had not offended any high-ranking figures in the Spirit Hall, Dugu Xin and Ye Qingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, I still felt a chill run down my back.

Even though he didn't cause any major trouble, Dugu Xin was still very annoyed.

Those two girls are incredibly bold!

Holding a Jade Pendant, he dared to venture into Spirit Mountain, which could easily be described as a den of dragons and tigers.

A random Hall Guard Knights jumped out from inside.

None of them are people they can easily provoke.

Not to mention, if they accidentally offend an elder or a respected elder, not only would the two girls be in big trouble, but the Dugu Family and Ye Family would also suffer.

"There must be no next time!"

Dugu Xin's face was gloomy, and he reprimanded loudly.

"Keep that Jade Pendant safe. Don't take it out and wave it around without my permission."

"This is Spirit City, not our Heaven Dou City. You can't act recklessly here!"

Ye Qingcheng, still shaken, gave Ye Lingling a good lecture.

The two little girls were very unwilling.

I feel wronged.

But seeing how angry the parents were...

He knew he had really messed up this time.

No one dared to talk back at that moment; they all obediently nodded and admitted their mistakes.

It was only when the adults were pulling me back that I realized what was happening.

The image of the young man sleeping in the hammock flashed through the minds of both women once again.

He's really good-looking.

He was more handsome than any little boy I had ever seen.

Furthermore, he also knew the Eldest Young Master of the Spirit Hall.

I really want to see him again.

At the same time.

On Spirit Mountain.

In the square Pope's Palace.

Led by the Hall Guard Knights, Qian Renchuan finally arrived at the scene at a leisurely pace.

Throughout the journey, he pondered why Qian Xunji had suddenly sent someone to find him.

The coronation ceremony is still a few days away from officially starting.

What urgent matter could there be right now?

Just as he was filled with doubt, he noticed another figure walking towards him from the side.

It was none other than Qian Renxue.
