After Zhong Shudao left, Lin Yun looked at the scrolls on the table.
On the scrolls were calculations about the value of some items and the cost of transportation. Judging from the handwriting, it seemed to be written by Xue Ruzhi.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at doing business," Lin Yun teased.
"My parents were merchants, so I have some experience with these things." Speaking of her parents, Xue Ruzhi's eyes were obviously filled with sadness.
Xue Ruzhi could laugh about being imprisoned by Man Qingshui for a hundred years, but because of her, her parents died tragically in Man Qingshui's hands. This incident was something she could not let go of.
Seeing her sad expression, Lin Yun changed the topic and asked, "Are you not going to cultivate anymore?"
Previously, Lin Yun had already checked. Xue Ruzhi's cultivation level was only at the level-one Wu Huang, but her divine sense was the same as Lin Yun's, at the peak of level-four.
This was because in her past life, she consumed the "Snow Flower Soul Lotus" specially made by Lin Yun.
Xue Ruzhi shook her head and revealed a smile. She stared at Lin Yun and asked, "Are you not going to protect me?"
This question startled Lin Yun and he was momentarily unsure of how to respond.
Xue Ruzhi lowered her head and said, "I was just joking. Fighting and killing are not suitable for me."
Xue Ruzhi was different from Lin Ying and Yun Ruoxi. Deep down, she admired Lin Yun, but she never showed it on the surface.
She did not expect to stand by Lin Yun's side and accompany Lin Yun as he stood at the peak of the three realms. What she wanted was to see Lin Yun safe and sound.
After all, her life was saved by Lin Yun back then. Now that Lin Yun had rescued her from Man Qingshui's clutches, he had given her two lives. She did not want to ask for more.
As if realizing that her words were inappropriate, Xue Ruzhi added, "If you want me to cultivate, I will."
Lin Yun shook his head. He could tell that Xue Ruzhi really did not like fighting and killing.
Presumably, when she was Ji Leshan, if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have attacked so many times.
Since that was the case, Lin Yun made up his mind and said, "Then in the future, Tu Shenzong's finances will be handed over to you."
The relationship between the two of them was a little subtle, but it was more like they treated each other with respect.
Following this, Lin Yun planned to conceal his strength and recuperate. After all, the current situation in God's Domain was chaotic. Everyone in the outside world was eyeing Tu Shenzong covetously. He needed to ensure Tu Shenzong's safety.
At the same time, in the headquarters of Ghost Face Sect, Lan Fengyuan began to worry because of something.
"Sect Leader, could something have happened to Menka?" Ghost Rider was very worried. Ten days ago, Lan Fengyuan sent Menka out to investigate the Earth Village.
In the beginning, Menka would report the results of the investigation to Lan Fengyuan through a voice transmission talisman every day. However, three days ago, Menka could not be contacted at all. It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.
Lan Fengyuan was also worried. This matter was of great importance. It was related to the future development of Ghost Face Sect. He could not allow any mistakes to happen.
"Menka's last known location was in a villa in the west of the Earth Village. I'll go there myself." Lan Fengyuan planned to go there himself. He had to do this himself.
The Earth Village was located on an island in the middle of the Wuji Continent. It was right between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent. If something really happened to Menka, it would be easier for him to deal with it with his strength.
"Sect Leader, I'll go with you." Ghost Rider said immediately. However, Lan Fengyuan rejected him.
The Divine Realm looked peaceful on the surface, but it was turbulent in the dark. It would be much easier for him to go alone.
"Sect Leader, could he have been discovered by the Sacred Alliance?" Ghost Rider voiced his thoughts. There were only two possibilities for losing contact with Menka.
One was that he went deep into the Earth Village and was attacked by some strange creatures, causing him to lose contact.
However, this was unlikely. Before Menka left, Lan Fengyuan had already warned him that he could only gather information around the Earth Village. He could not enter the Earth Village.
Menka was timid by nature. He always listened to Lan Fengyuan, so he probably would not enter the Earth Village.
The second possibility was that he had been captured by someone from another force. There were not many forces in the vicinity of "Earth Village". Most of them were sects of Third Grade Forces and some bandits. With Monka's strength as a First Grade Martial Saint, he would definitely be able to deal with them.
Perhaps the people from one of the forces were from a major force, such as the Sacred Alliance, the Heaven Realm, and so on.
"It can't be the Sacred Alliance." Lan Fengyuan said confidently. After all, if the Sacred Alliance knew about this, they would have come to question him.
Lan Fengyuan was worried that Menka had been captured by the Eastern Continent. Losing the Earth Demon King's bloodline was one thing, but Menka's death would be a big deal.
Lan Fengyuan gave out the following orders and set off for the Earth Village.
The Earth Village was located between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent. It was also the center of the Wuji Continent. It was quite far from the Ghost Face Sect's headquarters.
Even with Lan Fengyuan's speed, it would take him a whole day to get there.
When the sun rose the next day, Lan Fengyuan arrived at the island where the Earth Village was located.
In the Limitless Ocean, this island could be considered as a relatively large island. Looking from afar, the island was boundless, almost monopolizing the entire horizon. It looked like a continent.
After landing on the island, what appeared in front of Lan Fengyuan was a chain of mountains. There were two mountains that stood out the most. They were of the same height and even had the same size.
One was called the "Western Mountain".
The other was called the "Eastern Mountain".
As the name suggested, it separated the Western Continent from the Eastern Continent.
The Earth Village that Lan Fengyuan had been looking for was located between these two mountains. As for what was inside, Lan Fengyuan did not know yet. That was why he sent Menka to investigate the area.
Lan Fengyuan walked towards the depths of the mountains. There were not many people here, but he could faintly see some smoke. It was obvious that there were people living here.
Not long after, Lan Fengyuan saw a thatched cottage in the depths of the mountains. There was an old man who was currently chopping firewood.
With the realm of Lan Fengyuan's divine sense, it was not difficult to find out that this old man was ordinary.
Lan Fengyuan walked forward and stood in front of the old man.
"Old man, are you the only one here?" Lan Fengyuan did not directly state his purpose. After all, he was not familiar with this place. It was better to be cautious.
