Yan Xin walked straight back to the room where she had previously secluded herself in. She needed to take good care of the magic crystal stone in her hand since she had used a lot of energy today.

As her hand brushed against the hundred-year-old peach wood in the cloth bag, she thought that she could be considered lucky. The harvest this time was not bad.

“Hey, don’t ignore me.” She had already used up all her energy, she thought as she rubbed her temples. Honestly, this young lord…she really couldn’t stand him any longer.

“It’s nothing at all. I just wanted to prepare some things and look for some time to go to Immortal Wind Island,” Yan Xin said, unable to stand Qingcang’s nagging anymore. She raised her hands in surrender. However, she waited for Qingcang to enter the room with her, then sealed the room so that no one outside could hear what they were saying. Then, she spoke.

“Ah, Immortal Wind Island.” Even though Qingcang was familiar with geography, he did not know what kind of place it was. He thought about it for a while with a puzzled expression on his face.

“The hometown of the black-robed man?” Nowadays, people rarely used the word ‘hometown’ to describe their where they came from. It was just that Qingcang could not think of a more appropriate word for the time being.

“Yes, I will go with them when the time comes,” Yan Xin said calmly. She wanted to cultivate at least one more pill in the shortest time possible so that at the very least, she could have a chance at saving her life if worse came to worst.

However, she touched the black card in her pocket. If she swiped the card, this guy in front of her would definitely know. about it, but she also didn’t like to share her secrets with others.

“Did you talk to Xie Mingyu about this?” Qingcang asked, having managed to perceive what had happened. 

She nodded in response. “Yes. He came to me to discuss this, so I wanted to go take a look. Isn’t that good?” Yan Xin had won many things in one go, but she wanted to return to what she’d had previously; she didn’t like being manipulated by others.

“Then I’ll go too,” Qingcang said as he sat next to her.

“What are you going for?” Yan Xin was so startled that she jumped. “You’ve seen the black-robed man’s abilities; you’re not strong enough to fight him.” Though she’d been surprised by his words, she took a deep breath and said, “If you go, you’ll only be sending yourself to your death.”

“I’ve never been to that place before, so why do you think I’m sending myself to my death? Besides, there are reasonable people everywhere. I can help a lot. Although I can’t beat them, I can learn to escape,” Qingcang said shamelessly, but in the end, he would have to rely on Yan Xin.

“You…” Hearing that, she was at a loss for words. This man…

“Time is limited. If you need anything, make a list, and I’ll get someone to gather them,” said Qingcang. “Oh right, since I’m going to be away for a little while, I’ll have to inform the old man so he can take care of the family business while I’m on leave.”

Yan Xin was rendered speechless at his words, but she wasn’t very worried. The black-robed man had said that the people there had cultivated their magic so much that they had become immortal. It was somewhat similar to her way of doing things, but not entirely the same. If she went, she would also be looking for opportunities to cultivate her magic there, but if she couldn’t, she could come back at any time.

“You’d better not go. If you stay here, you can be my backup,” she said, trying to dissuade him. After thinking over it for a bit, Yan Xin still felt that he had to stay behind. She didn’t want to be responsible for him if anything were to happen.

“Ah, no can’t do. You can protect me, right? I have plenty of backup here, so what are you worried about?” Yan Xin wasn’t good with words to begin with. In just a few words, he’d managed to counter her argument, leaving her with nothing to say.

“I’m not going to protect you. I don’t even know how strong the people on the Immortal Wind Island are, so how could I possibly protect you?” she finally said..
