Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 453 Elf Valley

An ancient species... what is that?

Spirit beast?

Yan Nanfei asked, "The ancient species you mentioned, do you mean they hatch once every thousand years? Then they must be relatively common ice-attribute spirit beasts?"

Feng Siyue shook her head, put the ice cube into the box and stored it in her Heavenly Heart Ring. "How is that possible? The conditions for this type of species to hatch are extremely strict. Both the Extreme Spirit Land and the Boundless Flower are indispensable."

"The formation of the Tianshan Extreme Spirit Land will take another five hundred years. If this thing comes out now, it will surely die."

If the hatching is successful, the soul becomes stronger; if it fails... the soul weakens and must go back to sleep for another five hundred years.

Therefore, Feng Siyue asked Yan Nanfei to bring it back and protect its soul in some special way.

Yan Nanfei pondered, "The Land of Extreme Spirits..."

The Land of Extreme Spirit is a name for a certain type of spiritual energy that is extremely pure.

What kind of creature needs to reincarnate repeatedly in such an environment to repair its soul?

The route for wild geese to fly south,

"The thing in the ice, is that the egg?"

Feng Siyue smiled, her eyes gleaming with interest. "Yes, this little guy inside might be very useful in the future..."

Sleeping in the Tianshan Mountains... Is it the true guardian beast?

Feng Siyue waved her sleeve and put the rest of the items into her Heavenly Heart Ring. "Judging by the time, you should be almost there. Get ready and set off immediately."

"Where?"

"The Shadow lineage has too few members, so we've picked a good candidate for you, and perhaps more than one."

"Of course, you'll have to go and see for yourself."

A promising talent?

Three years ago, the academy competition was interrupted, and Yan Nanfei began her journey of training and selecting her shadow. After taking on Luo Qi, she focused on the selection of the palace gate and other matters.

According to her ideas, the Pilgrimage Sect was divided into two parts: the main lineage and the shadow lineage.

The main branch is primarily responsible for the operation of the Pilgrimage Sect as a normal sect. Currently, she is in charge of the sect's site selection and construction supervision, as well as the later follow-up on the recruitment of disciples, elders, etc.

The Shadow Vein is the foundation of the Pilgrimage Sect, and its members are all selected by the two of them, with Ling Mi distributing the Bloodline Beads.

Two years have passed, and the people selected by the master have been divided into four members of the 'Li' lineage; the 'Luo' lineage, which she is in charge of, has six members.

Now, it seems we're about to welcome the seventh person.

"Elf Valley".

Yan Nanfei nodded, "Yes."

......

Yan Nanfei quickly tidied up and went to the living room, where Fu Siluo and the others were having lunch.

Seeing her arrive, Fu Siluo quickly freed one hand to wave at her, "Senior sister, come and eat!"

Yan Nanfei stopped beside the dining table. "I won't eat. I came here to tell you two things."

"My senior sister said!"

"I will be leaving Wanxiang City today and will not stay in Senyang Hengzhou afterward."

Fu Siluo's puffed-out cheeks slowed down, and a hint of reluctance appeared in her eyes. "Senior sister, are you leaving again?"

The person paused in their continuous shoveling of food into the bowl.

Yan Nanfei nodded. "I have to go out on business. Secondly, Gu Zhu, the nearest battle site is Lu Rongtai in Qinghe. You take Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi there for training."

Gu Zhu nodded, "Okay."

"I've done my best. I've said everything I needed to say. You can continue eating. I'm leaving."

Gu Zhu: "Have a safe journey."

Fu Siluo: "Take care, Senior Sister!"

Yan Nanfei turned around, went out, and left.

Not long after leaving Wanxiang City, Yan Nanfei, who was flying through the air, sensed a familiar presence approaching from behind.

"Xie Changling, what are you doing following me?"

Xie Changling: "......"

Does your nose resemble a dog's?

Although he didn't deliberately hide his aura, he maintained a distance that she wouldn't notice. How did she detect that?

Your emotional skills have improved again!?

Xie Changling looked left and right before approaching her, and said casually, "The weather is so nice, the sun is shining and the breeze is perfect for a spring outing, why don't we go together?"

Spring outing?

Yan Nanfei was somewhat speechless. "I have important business to attend to."

Will it have an impact?

"You do your thing, I'll enjoy my spring outing."

Yan Nanfei: "...Young Master Xie, so free?"

Xie Changling spread his hands, waving a folding fan, and said matter-of-factly, "This young master has extraordinary talent, so I don't need to work so hard. Besides, my elder brother takes care of the family affairs, so I naturally have time for outings and picnics."

Yan Nanfei choked, unable to find any reason to persuade him to go back, so she simply said, "Whatever, just don't bother me."

Upon hearing this, the young man bowed and said with a grin,

"Got it!"

Yan Nanfei ignored her and continued walking forward on his own.

Elf Valley is not far away; it's just two days' journey east from Wanxiang City.

The next day, Xie Changling looked at the familiar road and guessed Yan Nanfei's destination.

"You're going to the Elf Valley?"

Yan Nanfei raised an eyebrow, "Young Master Xie also knows about Elf Valley?"

Why don't you know?

The young man tilted his head back, looking incredibly smug.

"My Xie family has traveled all over the country over the years, so we naturally have a good understanding of the forces in various states across the continent! But Elf Valley has been quite turbulent lately, what are you going there for?"

Not peaceful?

It is said that the forces of Zhongzhou disdain to meddle in the other four states, and there is no need to look down on them.

But the Xie family...

It's not hard to guess from Xie Changling's words that while the Xie family openly conducts business across five states through the Changling Chamber of Commerce, they have probably also spent considerable time figuring out the situation in each state behind the scenes.

Yan Nanfei said, "Of course I have my own mission."
