Lu Qing'an gradually grew to like this kind of life, and when he looked at Xiao Qingyi, the corners of his mouth would often turn up in a smile.

What is the point of a person's entire life if not to find someone to talk to?

Is there anyone who can listen to you, understand what you're saying, and listen to your nonsense?

When he left the Demon Domain, the people he was most reluctant to part with were not only his disciple whom he treated like a child, but also this old geezer.

The two chatted casually until Xiao Qingyi suddenly took out Sound Transmission Jade Slip.

"Wait, someone's looking for me."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot and flew towards the city lord's mansion.

About three breaths later, he returned to the stone pavilion. His face, which had been full of joy before he left, was now tinged with worry.

"What's wrong?" Lu Qing'an asked.

"A stranger, a junior, who went to the Cold Crystal Forbidden Land with my second disciple for training came to me, saying that my second disciple had lost contact there and couldn't be found." As Xiao Qingyi spoke, he held a Sound Transmission Jade Slip in his hand and continuously poured Demonic Qi into it.

No matter how he tried to send a telepathic message, there was no response from the other end.

Afterwards, he sent a telepathic message to his eldest disciple and his third disciple, who was at the Demon Willow Academy.

After some discussion, he asked the two of them to also send a telepathic message to their second apprentice.

However, they were unable to contact them either.

After ending the telepathic communication, Xiao Qingyi frowned and said, "It seems I have to go there myself and find him. That brat, with such a terrible sense of direction, what was he doing training in a place like that! He definitely got lost! It's really embarrassing."

"Do you need me to come along?" Lu Qing'an asked.

"It's a complicated situation in there. If you come in with me, it might take several days to come back, unless you destroy the whole place, but that might accidentally bury my apprentice inside. Are you sure you can stay away for several days?" Xiao Qingyi asked.

Lu Qing'an was also aware of the situation there; with his strength, he could easily destroy that desolate place.

But if you don't handle it well, you could easily kill everyone inside.

Many people gain experience there.

"Then you can go by yourself. If you need me, just let me know."

Xiao Qingyi's second apprentice has most likely gotten lost again.

"Yes, keep in touch."

Xiao Qingyi nodded, then decisively set off, flying in one direction.

Lu Qing'an sat quietly in front of the stone pavilion, drinking tea.

It wasn't until evening that the child returned, and I continued to spend time with the child, guiding them in their spiritual practice.

Since Xiao Qingyi wasn't there, none of them knew how to cook, so they didn't eat dinner. After all, with their strength, they could go years without eating.

Everyone else was fine, but Lu Miaomiao tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

The night passed in silence.

The next morning, Lu Zixuan looked at her younger sister who was still lying in bed and had no choice but to smile wryly and leave the room.

"Dad, Miaomiao doesn't seem to want to go to school."

Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled, "She's still young, if she doesn't want to go, she doesn't have to. Let her rest at home for a day."

"Alright, let's head to the academy first."

"Um."

Lu Qing'an was happy to have someone to keep him company.

Soon after, only he and his youngest daughter remained in the yard.

Lu Miaomiao lazily got out of bed, pouting as she looked at Lu Qing'an: "Daddy, when is Grandpa Xiao coming back? Also, I miss Aunt Xue so much!"

Lu Qing'an laughed and said, "I've heard you mention your Aunt Xue more than ten times these past few days."

"It's been over three days, why hasn't Aunt Xue finished her work and come back yet?" Lu Miaomiao suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lu Qing'an's hand and gently shook it, using her tried-and-true method of coaxing, saying, "Daddy, why don't you take me to find Aunt Xue!"

Lu Qing'an didn't know why, but he suddenly felt curious about what Xue Tianfei was doing. Seeing his little daughter's adorable pleading look, he couldn't help but smile indulgently, "I just can't do anything with you."

"Yay! Daddy's the best!"

Lu Miaomiao jumped up and kissed Lu Qing'an on the cheek.

It was very fast and hit the cheek with great precision.

Lu Qing'an looked at his little darling and shook his head with a smile.

They're so cute, how can I not spoil them?

"Let's go then, I'll take you to your Aunt Xue's house for a visit."

Lu Qing'an then thought of something, and with a wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept up from outside, carrying in a large number of leaves from the Demon God Mother Tree. They were then neatly stacked and put into a wooden box.

"Bring me a gift."

This time when I went to the Xue Household, I didn't just see Xue Tianfei alone.

There was also a senior figure.

"Hehe! Daddy's starting to prepare a gift for Aunt Xue too! Aunt Xue told me that you're so clueless about romance, you've never prepared a gift for her before!"

Lu Miaomiao covered her mouth and laughed.

"She even told you these things? She's setting a bad example for the child." Lu Qing'an gently poked her daughter's forehead with her finger. "Don't listen to adult matters anymore."

"No way! Miaomiao is an adult now!"

"How old are you?"

"Miaomiao has a big appetite!"

Lu Qing'an was instantly amused by his daughter.

"That's really big! Haha! Okay, come on, get on Daddy's shoulders, let's go!"

"Yay! Wuhu! Take off!!"

Lu Miaomiao leaped up and landed precisely on Lu Qing'an's shoulder, waving her little arms excitedly.

Lu Qing'an smiled and broke through the void, taking his daughter into the void and heading towards the Xue Household.

Before long, he and Lu Miaomiao appeared in the sky above a large city.

This is Demon Heart City, the largest city in the very center of the Demon Domain.

This city is enormous, several hundred times the size of Demon Descent City.

Many of the top powers have their headquarters here.

The merchant guild "Frost Firmament Heavenly Palace" founded by the Xue Household is located in the very center of Demon Heart City.

Lu Qing'an asked someone for directions before arriving at the Frost Firmament Heavenly Palace.

Before them stood a vast building soaring into the Ninth Heaven, its foundation laid by the entire Xuanbing Mountain Range, its entire structure sculpted from millennia-old icy marrow, with ice crystals hanging from its eaves refracting the seven-colored aurora.

Twelve ice-jade steps spiral upwards, each step inlaid with the glowing crystal cores of snow-covered beasts, and frost mist, solidified from the cold air, swirls beneath your feet.

Three thousand six hundred jade stars hang from the dome of the main hall, casting shards of starlight and shadows as they rotate day and night, making the room feel like a dream.

Many powerful figures from the Demon Domain frequented this merchant guild, and various caravans sailed around on Xuanbing treasure ships pulled by ice phoenixes, carrying large quantities of goods in and out.

"Wow! Daddy, could this be Aunt Xue's house?!"

Lu Miaomiao's eyes widened even more at the sight before her.

Lu Qing'an remained silent.

Even if you fought to the death, you couldn't plunder this much wealth...

Is this rich woman really that good at business...?

"Father! Hurry! Go inside and take a look!" Lu Miaomiao urged with a smile.

Lu Qing'an shook his head and smiled. Before flying down to the Chamber of Commerce, he led his daughter into the Chamber.

As soon as he entered the guild hall, a graceful maidservant respectfully stepped forward.

"Hello! Welcome to the Frost Firmament Heavenly Palace. May I ask what services you require?"

Lu Qing'an glanced at the maid and discovered that she was also at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

There isn't just one maid here; there are hundreds, even thousands, all waiting to greet guests as soon as they approach.

"I have something," Lu Qing'an muttered to himself, then asked directly, "What services do you offer?"

He was a little curious about what services the Frost Firmament Heavenly Palace offered.

"Let me show you around. Please look at this array light screen. These are some of the services we can provide!"

I. Treasure Trading and Customization Services!

Second, high-end cultivation assistance services!

Third, luxurious experiences and social services!

IV. Special Commissions and Emergency Services!

Each service is further subdivided into various sub-services, making it a comprehensive list that even Lu Qing'an couldn't resist trying.

"Who came up with these ideas?" Lu Qing'an asked, looking at the maid in front of him.

This kind of thing didn't exist before he left the Demon Domain.

"Of course it's our student council president, Yuki!"

"Wow... that's impressive."

Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei with even greater admiration.

That young woman is really something.

What services do you need?

"Then, let's make it a special request."

"Okay, please tell us in detail what you need us to do, and I'll register you."

"Please tell your president that I've brought Miaomiao to see her."

"Hmm?" The maid was taken aback upon hearing this. "You're looking for our guild leader?"

Lu Qing'an nodded slightly.

"Um... Our guild leader doesn't see people easily, and he's been busy with something very important lately."

"It's alright, just tell her that Lu Qing'an is looking for her."

He had already used his Divine Sense to sense that many of the materials here were from the Cold Crystal Forbidden Land, which was immune to human Divine Sense detection, so he didn't know whether Xue Tianfei was here or not.

The maid fell silent upon hearing Lu Qing'an's words.

Could it be a fanatical admirer of the president?

admirers?

Fans?

To be honest, many people come to her door like this every day, but this is the first time she has seen someone bring such a lovely girl with them.
