The blonde, mature woman leaned wearily against the bathtub, her two slender, fair arms draped over the Sidelines.
With the auction approaching, she's been incredibly busy lately.
Because Qin Ze absconded with the contents of the vault last time, security for this auction has been raised several levels, and there are also many more items up for auction than usual.
"I need to take a good vacation after this auction."
The Second Sister closed her eyes slightly and muttered to herself.
The water in the bathtub reached above my chest, and my beautiful underwater silhouette was faintly visible.
Who is it?
With a "whoosh," the Second Sister stood up and instantly donned a fiery red dress.
The bathroom door was ajar, and she heard a rustling sound coming from the living room.
" Second Sister, don't shoot!"
"It is I, sword cultivator Lin Zhiyuan!"
Qin Ze cautiously poked half his head in.
"It's you?"
The Second Sister frowned and lowered her guard.
"Go outside and wait for me."
"Okay!"
Qin Ze pulled his head back and closed the door behind him.
The Second Sister, having shed the Blazing Sun Fire, casually picked up a bathrobe and draped it over herself.
She wondered what Qin Ze was doing here in the middle of the night.
"Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft."
With her long, golden hair casually tied back, the Second Sister strode out of the bathroom.
In the living room, Qin Ze Yangyang sprawled on the sofa, pouring himself a glass of wine that looked quite expensive.
His Second Sister sat down opposite him. "You're quite impolite."
Qin Ze poured another glass of wine and pushed it in front of his Second Sister: "We're all family, no need for formalities."
" Yan Miao and I are brothers. You are his Second Sister, and also my Second Sister."
The blonde woman swirled her wine glass and gave a soft snort, "Stop with the formalities, just get to the point."
After all, there was a bond and favor from their previous encounter at the Land of Faith, so even though Qin Ze interrupted her bath late at night, the Second Sister wasn't offended.
Qin Ze sighed, "It's been over a month since we last met. I miss my brother."
Seeing the genuine emotion Qin Ze displayed, the Second Sister was quite surprised. "You two have such a good relationship?"
Qin Ze nodded. "Of course, we're sworn brothers."
My Second Sister taking a small sip of wine is understandable.
"I'm sorry, Yan Miao isn't here."
"He has been recuperating in the clan's territory and hasn't come out at all."
Qin Ze chuckled and cut to the chase, "I can't get in touch with him. Second Sister, could you do me a favor and let me chat with my good brother for a bit?"
The blonde woman pondered for a moment, "After we parted ways at the Land of Faith, I haven't contacted him at all, so I'm not sure about his current situation."
Qin Ze was Yan Miao, that unfortunate kid, was actually her biological brother.
Yan Miao was on the verge of tears, but she didn't care at all.
The Second Sister changed the subject. "I can ask the Grand Elder for you. If Yan Miao's condition allows, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Qin Ze gave a thumbs up. " Second Sister is so generous!"
A moment later, the blonde woman took out a black communication card and used her mental power to contact the Grand Elder of the Holy Temple.
Qin Ze did not disturb her and waited patiently for good news.
Miss Sword Case asked curiously, "Why are you so concerned about Yan Miao?"
Qin Ze explained, "We can't ignore a Demigod Level beast."
"And maybe we can find other flying swords through this clue."
Upon hearing that other children could be found, Miss Sword Case immediately became excited.
When do we leave?
Qin Ze said helplessly, "I'll set off after asking Sanshui."
Qin Ze has not yet used the power of the Fate Oracle.
He was unsure whether to use it immediately.
After all, Fate can seek more than just the Five Elements Flying Swords.
A few minutes later, the Second Sister placed the communication card on the table.
"The Grand Elder is already on his way to the Blazing Sun Pool."
Should I avoid this situation?
Qin Ze smiled shyly, "It's just catching up, there's no need to avoid suspicion."
Not to mention that the Grand Elder of the Holy Temple was right next to Yan Miao, this was also Second Sister's communication Martial Artifact, so it might have some kind of recording function.
Anyway, what Qin Ze wanted to ask wasn't a secret, so it wouldn't matter if the First Elder and Second Sister heard it.
The Second Sister didn't say anything, picked up her wine glass, got up, and walked to the window.
The communication card then projected Yan Miao's image; although it wasn't 4K Blu-ray, it was still quite clear.
Yan Miao sat cross-legged in the Blazing Sun Fire, his condition much better than when they last parted, at least he was no longer cracking.
The red Divine Markings were faintly visible, and even through the communication Martial Artifact, Qin Ze could still feel the violent divine power.
Clearly, Yan Miao has not yet fully mastered the Source of God of War.
Qin Ze was the first to greet him, "Long time no see."
Yan Miao's face showed great pain, but he still forced a smile, "Why do I feel like you've gotten stronger again?"
Qin Ze raised his arm and flexed his biceps. "No way around it, my cultivation level increases even when I eat and drink."
Yan Miao explained, "I've been trying to control the Source of God of War, but this power is too violent. Every time I gain control, my body nearly cracks open."
This inheritance was originally intended for Yan Miao, who was at Level Nine.
However, due to the High Priest's interference, Yan Miao's time to receive the inheritance had to be brought forward.
It's like trying to compete in track and field right after learning to walk; the body simply can't adapt.
Qin Ze suggested, "You can put aside the matter of Fusion the Source of God first, and improve your cultivation level, at least to Level Nine, before you start working on Fusion the Source of God."
After thinking for a moment, Yan Miao nodded. "I understand."
The two then chatted idly, making small talk about this and that.
Qin Ze casually took out a water-attribute flying sword. "Speaking of which, the sword you gave me has really been a great help."
"I once entered a world filled with fire, and I would have been burned alive if I hadn't had this sword in my hand."
Everyone here is smart, Yan Miao immediately understood Qin Ze's purpose in making that call.
"I found this sword in a world on the verge of collapse."
"The sword was stuck in the ground, and I didn't find anything else around it."
Qin Ze's heart sank; the worst outcome had still occurred.
The Demigod Level beast that the water-attribute flying sword suppressed has escaped, Water Element Sword Bearer has probably also perished.
The Blazing Sun Fire surrounding Yan Miao burned even more intensely, crackling and popping.
Hearing the sound, the Second Sister by the window couldn't help but glance sideways, then continued gazing at the night outside.
Yan Miao's voice betrayed a hint of fatigue. "It's been so long since I've talked this much, I'm really exhausted."
"Let's talk again after I've gained some control over the Source of God of War."
Qin Ze snapped out of his daze and said, "Get some rest."
Yan Miao's projection disappeared, and the call ended.
The Second Sister tightened her bathrobe and walked over gracefully.
" Yan Miao asked me to give it to you."
Qin Ze took the note from his Second Sister, unfolded it, and saw that it contained world coordinates.
The Second Sister sat down and said, "It's probably because the Grand Elder is here; there are some things he can't say directly."
"He said that the sword was found in this world, and whether that world still exists can only be verified by you."
