“Uncle Ming, Uncle Bing, how did Si Lan act recklessly?”
Qing Xue Si Lan was a bit confused.
"Those three have unknown origins. You invited them onto our Qing Xue family’s warship without permission. If they have ulterior motives, with their strength, they could easily dismantle our ship’s defenses. If something happens to you, how do we explain it to the Young Lady and the family head?"
"How could that be?
Brother Chen Qing and Sister Meng Xue look like good people. If it weren't for them, we might have already died at the hands of the Tian Kui thief that day. They are our saviors; inviting them to sit is the most basic etiquette."
Qing Xue Si Lan blinked her eyes.
"Second Miss, you don't understand. The most terrifying thing in this world is not anything else, but human hearts. You never know the malice of others."
Uncle Ming and Uncle Bing sighed bitterly: “Take the Tian Kui thief for example, they are a top thief in the Void Tide Sea, known for robbing merchant teams for a living. However, they know how to operate and rarely provoke true top forces. Our Qing Xue family is also one of the top forces in the Southern Heaven Realm, so it’s strange that they would target us.”
“Is that really strange?”
Qing Xue Si Lan asked in confusion.
“Of course it is. The route of our Qing Xue family’s warship is very secretive. If they accidentally stumbled upon it, that would be fine. But this time, the Tian Kui thief clearly came prepared, with all five leaders appearing together and almost all of their powerful members brought along, as if they already knew our Qing Xue family’s route. If it weren’t for the appearance of the Young Hero Chen Qing and others, we might have been in real danger.”
“I told you, Brother Chen Qing and Sister Meng Xue are definitely not what you think. You guys think too much.”
Qing Xue Si Lan smiled.
Uncle Ming and Uncle Bing were suddenly speechless; it seemed they had talked for so long in vain.
“Alright, Uncle Ming, Uncle Bing, isn’t everything fine now?
I’ll just be more careful in the future.”
Qing Xue Si Lan pulled on their arms, shaking and laughing, not at all maintaining the demeanor of a young lady.
The two looked at Qing Xue Si Lan gently, their eyes revealing a sense of affection. Especially when they looked at her innocent and clear eyes, they sighed slightly in their hearts; perhaps, they should let the Second Miss remain so innocent and pure. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Realm is perilous. Although their Qing Xue family is a top force in the Southern Heaven Realm, there are still many dangers lurking.
If it weren’t for the Young Lady encountering some issues in her cultivation, they wouldn’t need to have the Second Miss lead the team out. The Young Lady had always been so innocent and romantic within the family. They hoped she could remain so forever, always lively and adorable.
“Uncle Ming, how long have we been out this time?”
Qing Xue Si Lan asked.
“Second Miss, it’s been about five years!”
Uncle Ming responded.
“Has it really been five years so soon?
Finally going to see Sister again.”
A smile appeared on Qing Xue Si Lan’s face: “This time, we obtained the Fusion Spirit Fruit in the Demon Domain Forest of the Western Heaven Realm. With this fruit, Sister can recover. It’s just a pity that the trade routes in the Western Heaven Realm have still not been completely opened.”
“Second Miss, but we haven’t wasted these five years. The Western Heaven Realm borders the Demon Tribe domain of our Southern Heaven Realm. The Demon Tribe is now one of the top clans in the Heavenly Realm, and all the major families are trying to establish trade relations with them. We have already managed to open up some checkpoints, which is quite difficult. Unfortunately, our Qing Xue family has no connections with powers in the Eastern Heaven Realm and Northern Heaven Realm. In the past, our Qing Xue family needed to connect with other forces.”
Uncle Ming shook his head.
