But why did Yan Xin not seem to know about the island when he mentioned it? Had she run into something along the way?

“No. Since you don’t know, just pretend that I didn’t say anything.” Usually, Xie Mingyu would not be tricked so easily, but today, for some reason, everything that he didn’t want to say had involuntarily come out. He felt that something was not right.

Yan Xin looked at him and smiled. It seemed that she didn’t need the black-robed man anymore to learn what she wanted to know.

Then, Mingyu’s vision suddenly went black as he fainted.

“I think it’s about time for that person to come,” she said, then turned to the bodyguards around her. “You guys surround the building and make sure no one can enter. Don’t worry about anything else,” she ordered firmly.

Although no one knew what she wanted to do, being able to kidnap Xie Mingyu straight from his family mansion was…well, this kind of ability was enough to make them submit.

“Girl, hand over Young Master Xie.” Yan Xin smiled and turned to look at the black-robed man behind her. Excellent—as expected, he had come alone.

“Give him to me,” he repeated.

“I can,” Yan Xin said, smiling as she observed him. The black-robed man’s hands were empty as he stood alone in the air. “But let’s exchange people.” Her tone did not leave any room for discussion.

Her black magic crystal was safe and sound in the center of this building. As long as she was ruthless enough, it would be very difficult for the black-robed man to walk out of this building unscathed.

At this moment, the man’s black hat had already been shaken off, completely revealing his face. His overly pale face caused Yan Xin to squint her eyes slightly.

“I don’t know. The place where I was born is called Immortal Wind Island. There are many people there who cultivate magic and live forever. Although I have never seen anyone who is immortal, many old people have heard of someone who has cultivated enough magic such that they could become one.” The black-robed man’s tone did not have the slightest fluctuation as he explained himself. “Actually, I’m just an ordinary person there. I just learned a little from an unrated sect,” he said coldly.

Yan Xin had been staring at his pale face, but she couldn’t see any change in his expression at all. It seemed that he did not think that he was so ordinary that he could not meet people.

From this, it could be seen why Mingyu could not find the island where the black-robed man lived. Perhaps he did not want to go back at all?

“And what of that pill?” Yan Xin felt that it was a little strange; if he was so ordinary, how could he have developed that miracle pill? Not only that, that pill was of such high quality, too.

But even after she waited for a while, she received no answer.

“You must know that there are no secrets here.” Although Yan Xin had extracted Mingyu’s memories, the man himself actually did not know much. The key lay with the black-robed man, but Yshe dared not try extracting his memories since she didn’t have enough power yet. Who knew what kind of backlash she could face?

However, no matter what she said, the black-robed man still kept his mouth shut. At this moment, Yan Xin knew that she would not be able to get anything out of him.

She really wanted to go to the Immortal Wind Island to look around. The black-robed man’s ability and talent was indeed of average level, but in the past five years, it was because the Xie family had supported him wholeheartedly that things had turned out like this. What a waste of resources.

“How was it? Did you get the news you wanted?” Qingcang immediately rushed over to her upon seeing her safe return to the villa.

“What are you doing?” she rolled her eyes at him. She was already annoyed enough, so why was he still coming over?

“Come on, I sacrificed a lot. Could it be that you heard some news? Won’t you share it with me?” Qingcang looked like a daughter-in-law who had been wronged. Seeing this, the corners of his bodyguards’ mouths twitched..
