Maplewood City, Yang Kai’s secluded home.

Yang Kai and Mo Xiao Qi sat across from each other at the table.

After leaving the black market, Yang Kai took Mo Xiao Qi and fled back here in a hurry, deliberately checking to make sure no one was following them while also making several detours along the way.

After confirming they were not being followed, he returned to his rented secluded home.

“Big Brother Yang, you’re amazing!” Mo Xiao Qi held her cheeks in both hands and blushed crazily as she stared at Yang Kai with bright eyes, not even trying to conceal the look of worship and admiration on her face. “With just a few words, how were you able to frighten all those bad guys away?”

Yang Kai chuckled dryly.

If it had been someone else praising him like this, Yang Kai would definitely think that the other party was just spouting flattery, but coming from Mo Xiao Qi’s mouth, Yang Kai knew it was genuine.

“They just overthought the situation themselves,” Yang Kai casually said.

Today’s matter was indeed Flying Saint Palace letting their thoughts run wild, and also a result of the current situation in Maplewood City. If it weren’t for the current Maplewood City being a mix of hidden dragons and snakes, whether Yang Kai’s rhetoric would have been useful was really questionable.

But right now, in Maplewood City, there were representatives from many great forces, and although Flying Saint Palace was not bad, it was certainly not a top Sect, so Liu Yi Zhi had some scruples.

“But enough about that. Xiao Qi, you… how are you here?” Yang Kai changed the subject quickly.

“I’ve been here the whole time.” Mo Xiao Qi looked at Yang Kai curiously, wondering why he would ask something so silly. “Right, the secluded home I rented is very close to Big Brother Yang’s! En, but why haven’t I seen you around before now then?”

“I wasn’t living here before and only returned today.”

“Oh.”

“But what I wanted to ask was, Xiao Qi, how did you escape from Clear Jade Mountain last time…?” Yang Kai looked curiously at Mo Xiao Qi.

After all, when he came out of the Sealed World Bead, he had searched for Mo Xiao Qi but was unable to find any clues at all and assumed she had died without leaving behind even ashes.

But now, a month or so later, they had actually run into each other again in Maplewood City.

“That day… I used this thing to escape,” Saying so, Mo Xiao Qi took out an object from her Space Ring and placed it in front of Yang Kai.

“This is…” Yang Kai narrowed his eyes as he stared at what appeared to be a piece of animal skin that was exuding some subtle energy fluctuations.
