After Xue An and his group left Old Xie’s Restaurant, everyone almost unanimously looked towards the direction of Hongyu Shanzhuang.
Xue An was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Let’s go, take a look at that Hongyu Shanzhuang."
Huyue nodded, then the group disappeared into the vast night one by one.
Just as they left, Aunt Ping and Old Xie rushed out of the restaurant.
"Mr. Xue, you gave too much... huh, where did they go?"
The couple stood at a loss, holding a handful of money.
They were busy in the kitchen, planning to prepare some more dishes for Xue An and his group.
But when they reached the front hall, they found Xue An’s table was already empty, and there was a stack of cash on it.
They rushed out, only to find that Xue An and his group had already vanished.
"Wife, don’t you think that young man in white seemed quite strange," Old Xie said.
"Strange how?"
"Although I don’t know why, and I can be sure we don’t know him, why did I feel so familiar when I saw him?" Old Xie wondered.
Aunt Ping nodded, "Yes! If you hadn’t said it, I would have asked you too. I also felt that when Mr. Xue spoke to us, he seemed like he wanted to say more, and it appeared he knew us very well."
"But if he really knew us, why would he ask if we had a daughter? Anyone who knows us knows we don’t have kids," Old Xie said.
"Sigh, thinking too much now is useless, let’s just go back!"
The couple turned back into the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Xue An and his group had arrived before Hongyu Shanzhuang.
Although it’s called Hongyu Shanzhuang, in terms of layout and architecture, it’s identical to the Red Lotus Immortal Sect that Xue An built back then.
It’s just that the ancient characters of the Red Lotus Immortal Sect on the mountain gate have been changed to the simplified letters of Hongyu Shanzhuang.
However, Xue An and his group did not approach, they stood from a distance gazing into the void.
Huyue said, "I left from this Hongyu Shanzhuang back then. I can say that except for fewer people and your absence, there’s almost no change here."
Xue An’s gaze was profound as he looked at the mountain gate, nodding, "Understood!"
"So, what now? Should we go in and have a look?" Huyue asked.
Although there are guards at the mountain gate, these people certainly pose no challenge to Xue An and his group.
"No need for now, let’s wait and see!" Xue An said calmly.
"Wait and see?" Huyue looked puzzled at the dark night sky.
What’s there to wait for?
Could it be that someone’s ing?
Just then, several flashes of light suddenly swept across the night sky, landing before the mountain gate.
The leader was surprisingly a woman.
When Huyue saw her, he was slightly shocked and blurted out, "An Qing?"
"You were waiting for An Qing?"
Xue An nodded, "Although I no longer exist in this world, and Yan’er disappeared too, I still want to start an investigation from another angle!"
"What angle?"
"For instance, investigating from the bloodline angle might reveal a flaw! After all, the fact that your memory remains proves the mastermind’s approach isn’t flawless. And as long as there’s a loophole, it can definitely be found," Xue An said with a cold expression.
Upon hearing this, Huyue looked suddenly enlightened, and couldn’t help but slap his forehead, "Old Xue, I must admit, you’re still the smart one. How did I not think of this before?"
"Just shows you’re dull!" Xue An jested lightly.
Surprisingly, Huyue didn’t argue back, just chuckled and said in a deep voice, "So what should we do now? Just go grab her?"
Xue An shook his head, "Like I said before, don’t rush, let’s just watch first!"
Meanwhile, An Qing, after arriving before Hongyu Shanzhuang’s gate, didn’t rush in but seemed to be waiting for someone.
"Miss An, you’re back!"
The guard at the gate greeted her eagerly.
An Qing nodded.
"You were away for quite some time this time, did you gain anything?"
An Qing smiled, "Just went out for a routine patrol, what gains could there be?"
"It goes to show that someone like you is impressive, being a pillar in just a few years!"
The guard leader took no notice of An Qing’s indifferent words and continued to flatter her.
An Qing ignored his flattery, turned to look north, and muttered to herself.
"Why aren’t they here yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a few more light beams streaked across the night sky, landing right in front of An Qing.
Once they materialized, it was a group of people.
The leader was also a woman, with a rather extraordinary aura.
Behind her were several bodyguards.
Hiding in the distance, Huyue couldn’t help being surprised, "Isn’t this Miss Qin Yu from Qin Group?"
Back in Red Lotus Immortal Sect, Huyue naturally knew this outstanding heroine.
But why is An Qing with her in this timeline?
As Huyue wondered, Qin Yu took a few steps forward, nodded at An Qing.
"Miss An!"
"Yes, did you bring the people?"
"Yes, these are the top experts my grandfather gathered over the years, should be enough to handle that wicked dragon!"
"Good, we should act quick. Tonight is its moon-eating metamorphosis, it’ll be very weak now, the perfect time for us to strike."
"Okay, but let’s be clear, after success, I must have the Dragon Liver and Dragon Blood!"
"Don’t worry, they’re useless to me; I’m only interested in its core!"
The two discussed briefly, then rose and flew towards the northeast.
"Follow them!" Xue An said in a deep voice, then silently followed.
Huyue, Fei Bai, and Si Qingqing trailed behind.
Soon, they left the vicinity of Hongyu Shanzhuang and entered a mountainous area.
Huyue couldn’t help but fly up and whisper, "Why does this place look so familiar?"
"Of course, it’s familiar, because ahead is Mount Qingmang!"
Hearing the words Mount Qingmang brought memories of An Qing and Qin Yu’s earlier discussion about the wicked dragon, Huyue suddenly realized, almost shouting out.
"Xiao Sha!"
Xue An nodded, "That’s right, they’re here for Xiao Sha!"
Huyue murmured, "I should have thought, since you’ve never appeared in this timeline, Xiao Sha naturally wouldn’t have those later opportunities, so now it’s still the python dragon lurking in Qingmang!"
Meanwhile, An Qing and Qin Yu’s group had already entered Mount Qingmang.
But before they could fly much further, a loud noise, like a bull’s roar, echoed, and both women, along with their bodyguards, let out muffled groans and fell from the sky.
"We’re now officially in its territory. That roar was its dragon roar, so this creature has now taken shape!" An Qing said.
Qin Yu nodded, her face full of excitement and anticipation.
"In that case, let’s hurry over!"
