From the day Yun Fan entrusted Yunli to Huaiyan for upbringing until now, decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
Huaiyan knew Yunli's personality very well.
But speaking of which... Miss Qingque actually already had a husband? This was truly unexpected. Generally speaking, beings at the level of Emissaries rarely chose to marry.
While it couldn't be said to be the only case, it was still extremely rare in the world. The Emissary of [Causality], Qingque, could indeed be considered a special exception. It really made one curious—what kind of man could make an Emissary-level powerhouse fall for him?
Unlike Huaiyan's curiosity, let us now turn our attention to Welt. At this moment, Old Yang's mind was like ten thousand alpacas stampeding wildly inside.
What had he just heard? Qingque's husband? But wasn't that clearly Yun Fan's voice just now?! That tone, that personality—it was definitely him, no mistake!
But shouldn't he be on Penacony right now? How could he have the time to appear on the Xianzhou Luofu?!
"Miss Fu Xuan, if my guess is correct, the voice just now was Yun Fan, right?"
Welt pushed up his glasses, brows slightly furrowed, and asked in a somewhat serious tone.
Right now, Old Yang had countless questions in his heart. If the person on the other end of the phone really was Yun Fan, then why hadn't Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan directly told Huaiyan that he was currently on the Xianzhou Luofu?
As for whether these two knew or not—from Fu Xuan's reaction just now, at least she definitely knew.
"Hm? The person on the phone was Yun Fan—the Yun Fan we're looking for?"
Hearing Welt's words, Huaiyan was first slightly stunned, then also furrowed his brows. His two snow-white, cotton-like eyebrows twisted together like braided ropes.
After pondering for a moment, Huaiyan raised his head and finally turned his gaze toward Divine Foresight General Jing Yuan. His sharp eyes seemed to demand a reasonable explanation from the other party.
Mr. Welt had just said that Yun Fan had gone to Penacony with the Astral Express. But judging from the current situation, it seemed he had not. And from the looks of it, Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan definitely knew something—or rather, they were hiding something.
"Sigh~ Fine, fine. Since it's come to this, we won't hide certain things from the two of you any longer."
Seeing both Huaiyan and Welt turn questioning gazes toward him at the same time, Jing Yuan—knowing he could no longer conceal it—gave a slight sigh before continuing.
"Mr. Yun Fan's identity... is somewhat special. In principle, without his personal permission, we shouldn't disclose his whereabouts."
"Not even me?" Huaiyan stroked his beard thoughtfully and pressed.
"Mm."
Jing Yuan nodded slightly, arms crossed over his chest.
"Currently, within the entire Xianzhou Alliance—aside from a few necessary personnel on Luofu—the only one who knows about that identity is Marshal Hua."
...…
"Huff... Huff... Huff, why are the roads on Xianzhou Luofu so winding? Compared to Zhuming, this place is practically a maze..."
Xianzhou Luofu... Exalting Sanctum...
Having wandered around the vast Xianzhou Luofu like a headless fly, our Miss Yunli still hadn't found the correct path to the Seat of Divine Foresight.
Of course, Yunli wasn't a complete fool—she had tried asking for directions. But even when others pointed the way for her, in the end, the girl always somehow ended up heading in exactly the opposite direction.
"Huff... Maybe I should just find a Cloud Knight to guide me. If I keep going like this, even by midnight I'll probably still not find the right way."
The girl gently rubbed her fair, jade-like chin and finally made her decision.
She had actually thought of asking a Cloud Knight to guide her long ago, but the kind-hearted girl hadn't wanted to waste public resources over such a small matter. But now that she was truly lost, it probably didn't count as wasting resources anymore, right?
"Big brother Cloud Knight, could you help me with something?"
After one final internal struggle, Yunli took small steps and approached a Cloud Knight soldier somewhat timidly.
"Hm? What's the matter, little sister? Is there something you need us Cloud Knights to help with?"
Hearing someone call out to him, a patrolling Cloud Knight soldier stopped in his tracks. Using what he considered his gentlest voice, he asked the little girl in front of him.
First glance: This child is so cute. Second glance: Whose child is this? Did she get separated from her parents by accident? Third glance: Hm... a token. Let me see—Xianzhou Zhuming General's Token...
General's Token??!!!
After finally seeing the token clearly in the girl's hand, the Cloud Knight soldier shivered all over. Then he carefully returned the token to the girl's hands.
After carefully choosing his words, the somewhat shocked Cloud Knight finally spoke.
"Miss, how should I address you?"
"Xianzhou Zhuming 'Blazing Wheel Eight Leaves'—Yunli."
Casually tucking General Huaiyan's token into her pocket, Yunli crossed her arms and looked at the somewhat restrained Cloud Knight soldier in front of her, answering calmly.
"So it's Miss Yunli. Is there anything I can assist you with?"
Upon learning the girl's identity, the Cloud Knight soldier couldn't help but suck in a cold breath inwardly.
Xianzhou Luofu and Xianzhou Zhuming were one family. He had also heard of the title 'Blazing Wheel Eight Leaves'—something roughly equivalent to Luofu's 'Cloud Knights Five Braves.' Although he didn't know exactly how prestigious 'Blazing Wheel Eight Leaves' was, it surely wasn't low.
"Mm, right now I need you to take me to the Seat of Divine Foresight. I need to meet General Jing Yuan. He should have already informed you."
After briefly stating her request, Yunli paused and cast an inquiring look toward the Cloud Knight in front of her.
"Of course, no problem, Miss Yunli."
Upon learning that the other party only needed him to guide the way—a minor task—the Cloud Knight soldier secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
For a patrolling soldier like him, giving directions was a piece of cake. But... this Cloud Knight was a little puzzled. Since Yunli wanted to go to the Seat of Divine Foresight, why hadn't she simply used the navigation system? That should have been the fastest option.
