Back at Black Wind Port, when Ye Xuan recognized Qin Lan, he was utterly shocked.
Everyone knew that this old ancestor of the Xiahou Family was the textbook recluse. For her villa to cross the ocean and show up in the Vampire tribe—just her walking out of the Xiahou Family gates, or even that old house of hers, was already an extremely rare event.
And yet Qin Lan actually became Ye Xuan's lifesaver!
How could he not ask about that?
As the question slipped out, the look Ye Xuan gave Qin Lan carried a trace of nervousness, like he was waiting on her answer.
Whether it was instinct or just how bizarre her appearance was, Ye Xuan kept feeling… this hundred‑and‑eighty‑six‑year‑old old hag was hiding some secret she didn't want him to know.
And as Ye Xuan's voice fell, the atmosphere on the wide deck also froze for a brief moment.
Ye Xuan furrowed his brows, then got bolder and asked directly.
Qin Lan, however, suddenly opened her mouth: "Happened to be passing by."
