The moment their eyes met, Yan Miao thought he had mistaken her for someone else.
With such a large, brightly lit Sword Case right next to him, it would be hard to mistake it.
Yan Miao couldn't help but take two steps back.
First she looked at Qin Ze upstairs, then she looked at her Second Sister beside her.
"What's going on with you two...?"
It's hard for him not to have impure thoughts when a man and a woman are alone together in a room.
"What's wrong?"
As a free spirit and a woman of the martial world, the Second Sister was somewhat bewildered and didn't quite understand.
Qin Ze spread his hands. "As you can see, I've been imprisoned by your Second Sister."
A series of question marks appeared above Yan Miao's head, "She can keep you in check?"
In the land of the God of War's Land of Faith, he thought Qin Ze's words about his Second Sister were just a joke, but now it seems they are about to come true.
The Second Sister said, " The Myriad Races Grand Tournament is about to begin. I'm afraid he might sneak off to participate, so I'm having him stay here for now."
"After this competition, I plan to take him back to the Blazing Sun Clan."
Yan Miao suddenly realized.
Things weren't as he had imagined.
The Second Sister was worried about Qin Ze's safety, which is why she detained him temporarily.
Yan Miao has changed a lot since the last time we met.
He was taller and bigger, with a powerful aura that flickered beneath his cloak.
Yan Miao removed the cloak from his head, and what was most striking was the fiery red Divine Markings on half of his face.
Even after soaking in the Blazing Sun Pool for so long, Yan Miao still couldn't control the Source of God of War at will.
The cloak he wore must have been a high-quality Martial Artifact, capable of effectively concealing his aura and Source of God.
The moment the cloak was removed, a massive aura, accompanied by a heat wave, swept through the entire room.
His Second Sister immediately helped him put his hat back on.
"What are you doing here? Didn't the Grand Elder tell you to stay in the Blazing Sun Pool for three months?"
Yan Miao said in a deep voice, "I'll take you away."
The Second Sister was bewildered. "Although I don't have any feelings for this Black Market, I'm still the boss, so I have to stand firm until the very end."
Yan Miao said seriously, "I overheard the elders' conversation. They've changed the rules of the competition at the last minute, and they want to pull everyone, including the audience and referees, into some kind of door."
"Although I don't know exactly what that door is, judging from the way the elders look at it with such fear, it's definitely not something good."
"You'd better leave now before the competition starts, and stop thinking about your damn sense of responsibility."
As the Black Market boss, the Second Sister will definitely be present on the day the competition begins.
No one has informed Yan Miao of what she mentioned so far, which means that the higher-ups do indeed intend to do it.
Qin Ze figured that the two consecutive attacks on the South District in one night had probably made the old folks of the Ancient Race feel lingering fear.
Just to be on the safe side, sending everyone away would resolve any hidden troubles.
The Second Sister was silent for a moment. "You came here just to tell me this?"
Yan Miao nodded.
The Second Sister was speechless. "Couldn't you have just used a communication card to tell me?"
Yan Miao glanced at Qin Ze: "After I spoke with that guy last time, the elder took the card away, saying he was afraid it would distract me."
"I snuck out; I didn't dare use the teleportation portal, but I got there a step faster than the Grand Elder and the others."
"They were transporting something, which slowed them down."
"It's good that the Grand Elder and the others haven't arrived yet; the three of us can go back through the Black Market portal."
"By then, the die is cast, and the Grand Elder can't possibly let us come back."
The Second Sister still clung to a sliver of hope.
"I've always been an outstanding student since I was in school. Although I haven't achieved anything particularly remarkable in the Black Market over the years, I've always been diligent and conscientious."
"I still want to stand guard this last shift properly; if all else fails, I won't go to the site."
Yan Miao was numb.
I came all this way just to hear you say this?
"Sis, can you please stop being so stubborn?"
"Do you think it's reasonable for the Black Market general manager not to show up and speak at the competition?"
The Second Sister nodded upon hearing this.
Qin Ze, however, felt that she didn't need to be so insistent on standing guard until the very end.
The Black Market vault was emptied several times.
If it weren't for the fact that my little brother is the successor of the God of War, he would have died eight hundred times over.
Only she herself still felt good.
Under her brother's prolonged gaze, the Second Sister turned to Qin Ze: "I'd like to hear your opinion."
Qin Ze said calmly, "I don't care, it's the same wherever I am."
Without saying a word, Yan Miao grabbed her Second Sister and headed outside.
"Wait for me to change my clothes."
An hour later, the three left the villa and headed to the teleportation array in the Black Market.
Bai Bai secretly transmitted his voice to Qin Ze: "Are we just going to go with them like this?"
It wanted to go to the buffet and didn't want to leave like that.
Qin Ze said calmly, "It's not a big problem."
He was ready to use his clone to escape at any time.
The difference in cultivation level between the clone and the original body is too great, making it easy to detect.
Therefore, Qin Ze should wait until the moment before entering the portal before taking action.
"General manager!"
The guards in front of the portal bowed respectfully to the Second Sister.
As luck would have it, the shift being rotated consisted of guards from the Blazing Sun Clan.
Yan Miao lowered his head, worried that the guards would see his face.
The Second Sister said calmly, "I need to go back to the Blazing Sun Clan."
The two responded and immediately began activating the teleportation array.
Qin Ze had just prepared to create a clone in his hand, ready to create some surprise and seize the opportunity to unleash the clone, when the teleportation portal suddenly stopped.
The guards had never seen anything like this before and were baffled.
"The spatial array seems to be malfunctioning. I'll go and notify the array master to come and take a look. Please wait a moment."
"No need." The Second Sister's face darkened. "The formation isn't broken; the world is locked down."
Immediately, the Second Sister turned and looked in the direction of the Abyss portal.
" The Chaos Pearl arrived ahead of schedule, and the Black Market lockdown was also brought forward."
Yan Miao felt numb again.
He originally intended to use a time difference to go and return quickly.
This is terrible.
He will definitely be discovered for leaving the Blazing Sun Pool without permission.
The Daoist priest, who seemed to have a lot of people around, became a little anxious. "You're the highest-ranking person in the Black Market. Can't you break the Black Market's blockade?"
The Second Sister shook her head. "The highest authority in this world doesn't reside with me."
" The Black Market now is like a completely sealed iron barrel."
Those inside can't get out, and those outside can't get in.
Bai Bai eyes sparkling, is there really such a good thing?
The clone chosen by the Pretty God has temporarily escaped this calamity.
The Second Sister took out the communication card, glanced at it, and said to Qin Ze and Yan Miao, "You two go back and stay here. The Grand Elder has arrived, and I need to go see him."
She specifically looked at Qin Ze and said, "Especially you, you can't leave the gate even for a moment."
Qin Ze nodded obediently. "I understand, I understand."
The three went their separate ways.
Qin Ze and Yan Miao returned to the villa.
Yan Miao paced back and forth in the hall. "She took so long to change her clothes. If she had been faster, we wouldn't be stuck here. It's such a hassle."
Qin Ze said, "Why didn't you say that to people's faces just now?"
Yan Miao forced a smile, "I don't dare."
