Chapter 2782: Chapter 2802: Run away? She can’t run away!

"Sister Minglan, I have something to do and need to go to the residential area."

Ming Lan looked at Guan Xia in front of the eyes and smiled slightly, "Are you going to see Young Master Lin?"

Guan Xia shook her head calmly, "No, seeing him again is pointless and will only add to the pain."

A touch of sympathy flashed in Ming Lan’s eyes, "You’ve been told about Lin Xi’s departure, haven’t you?"

Guan Xia nodded, "Mm, I was told."

Ming Lan said with a smile, "Alright, whether you’re going to see Young Master Lin or not, just go. Come back quickly after you finish."

Guan Xia sighed in relief, "Thank you, Sister Minglan."

Guan Xia had prepared her excuses, but she didn’t expect Ming Lan to not even ask and simply let her go.

Leaving her dwelling quickly, Guan Xia arrived at the place agreed upon with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen did not show up, but a Small Tower flew out from a hidden spot, appearing before Guan Xia.

A spray of Golden Light fell, and Guan Xia was taken inside the Tower, her figure disappearing.

The Small Tower once again silently slipped into the shadows of the buildings, and after a while, Lin Chen passed by from another direction, casually summoning back the quietly returning Small Tower, before heading to his dwelling.

After Lin Chen’s figure disappeared, Ming Lan’s figure suddenly appeared in the void.

She looked in the direction Lin Chen had left, her gaze complex.

"You bratty girl, you’ve got some nerve to attempt an escape. Lin Xi is actually a good person; he dared to do such a thing for an ugly girl. Doesn’t he know that if he gets caught, he will die?"

"Well, it’s all up to your luck now!"

Ming Lan’s figure quietly vanished as if she had never appeared.

Lin Chen, unaware of Ming Lan’s presence behind him, nonchalantly returned to the residential area and immediately found Lan Qiangwei.

They had agreed to leave together!

"Alright, let’s go!"

Lan Qiangwei said with a laugh, "Aren’t you going to say goodbye?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’ve already done so yesterday. Seeing each other one more time only compounds the discomfort, it’s better not to meet."

Lan Qiangwei nodded, "Then let’s go!"

The two went to the central hall of the residence, and after revealing their identities, were led into the Main Hall.

In the center of the Main Hall stood a Teleportation Gate, shimmering white, like a pool of light.

"Pass through this Light Door, and you will return to the Northern Sea. The drop-off point is random, but if you want to leave together and land at the same place, then hold hands."

Hold hands?

Lin Chen glanced at Lan Qiangwei, and with a purse of her lips, she reached out directly and grabbed Lin Chen’s wrist.

Lan Qiangwei’s hand was very soft, the touch silky, causing ripples to unintentionally stir within Lin Chen.

"Let’s go!"

"Okay!"

Lin Chen’s right hand was held by Lan Qiangwei, and with his left, he reached out and grabbed Tia by the fur on her neck. Together, the two people and one beast stepped into the Light Door and then disappeared within it.

After Lin Chen left, Ming Lan, who lived in the Flower Girl District, took her time calling her handmaid.

"Go to the residential area and look for Guan Xia."

"Yes!"

Before long, the handmaid returned with a hint of panic on her face, "Manager, something’s wrong. Guan Xia is gone."

Ming Lan frowned, "What do you mean ’gone’?"

The handmaid explained, "I went around the residential area and couldn’t find her. I asked the guard at the entrance, and they haven’t seen her pass by. Then I went to ask the guard at the exit; she hasn’t left the residence, but I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find her!"

Ming Lan stood up, her expression stern, "Send more people, keep searching, we must find her!"

"Yes!"

It wasn’t long before the handmaid returned again, clearly without having found anyone.

"I’ve just inquired, two people left through the Teleportation Gate before, one was the Saintess of Li Hai Sect, Lan Qiangwei, the other was Lin Xi, a Loose Cultivator, who was previously attended to by Guan Xia. I wonder if they have taken her away?"

Ming Lan’s expression grew solemn as she quickly flew out.

Soon, Ming Lan stood before the Island Master, Cui Wenxuan, and reported with a serious face.

Cui Wenxuan’s brows furrowed, "Ning Xiayi is missing?"

Ming Lan nodded, "Yes, before she disappeared, she took on Guan Xia’s appearance and identity. I suspect she was taken out by Lan Qiangwei or Lin Xi."

Cui Wenxuan scoffed, "Lan Qiangwei shouldn’t have. She is the Saintess of Li Hai Sect and knows the rules. To take someone away without a sound is to offend our Gathering Immortal Island; she would never do such a thing."

"It must be that Lin Xi. Previously he had asked me to free a Flower Maiden. He doesn’t know Guan Xia is Ning Xiayi, after being denied, perhaps he passionately whisked her away."

Ming Lan nodded, "That’s very likely. Shall I pursue?"

Cui Wenxuan laughed, "I’ll go myself. Ning Xiayi probably doesn’t even know I’ve secretly marked her. No matter where she flees, even to the Ends of the Earth, I can find her."

"I also want to see if this lad has eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard. Having refused him, he still brazenly abducted someone from my Gathering Immortal Island. Doesn’t he know how to spell ’death’? What a shame, the Vast Wilderness Ten Thousand Sword Art he learned was for nothing..."
