Half a day later, Linlong walked out of his room. At that moment, he thought of someone — Pan Mulan. He hadn't seen Pan Mulan since returning to Yangning Island.
He immediately looked for Pan Yi and asked, "Senior Pan, where did Miss Mulan go? Why is she nowhere to be seen?"
"I'll have to ask Elder Qian and Elder Du." Pan Yi replied and immediately called Elder Qian and Elder Du over.
After asking, Elder Du shook his head. Instead, Elder Qian said, "When the island master returned, Miss Mulan was going to come as well. However, she changed her mind in the end and said that she had some matters to attend to at Huixian Teahouse on the island. She would return later."
The island master that Elder Qian mentioned was naturally Linlong, who had just become the island master of Yangning Island.
"Huixian Teahouse?" Linlong frowned slightly.
"Before meeting Island Master, Young Miss Moulan would usually like to go to that teahouse. After meeting Island Master, Young Miss Moulan changed this habit. When Island Master went missing, Young Miss Moulan returned to her previous habits." Elder Qian explained.
"According to Miss Mulan's habits, she should have returned long ago. Could something have happened if she hasn't returned?" Elder Qian's expression changed slightly.
Right now, the two of them were basically handling the affairs of the entire Yangning Island. If anything happened to Pan Mulan, Linlong would definitely target them first.
"Where is Huixian Teahouse? Bring me there." Linlong immediately said.
He was naturally worried that he hadn't seen Pan Mulan since his return.
The two elders and Pan Yi hurriedly brought Linlong to Huixian Teahouse.
They quickly arrived at Huixian Teahouse. The teahouse owner didn't recognize Linlong or Pan Yi, but he recognized the two elders. Thus, he immediately came out to welcome them when they entered.
The teahouse owner was naturally a shrewd person. When he saw Linlong walking in front and the two elders respectfully walking behind him, he knew that Linlong's identity wasn't ordinary.
He immediately said to Linlong with a face full of smiles, "Young master, please take a seat here."
He only thought that they were here to drink tea. He didn't expect Elder Du, who was behind Linlong, to directly say, "Owner, did you see Miss Mulan?"
So she's here for Pan Mulan, the shopkeeper thought to himself. "Miss Mulan did come today, but she only sat here for a short while before leaving."
"They left?" Linlong frowned.
The shop owner hurriedly said, "However, before she left, Miss Mulan left a letter. She said that if a Young Master Lin came to find her, she should pass that letter to him. Is this Young Master Lin?"
"That's right. Hurry up and take out that letter." Elder Qian, who was behind him, directly said.
"Please wait a moment, Young Master." With that said, the shopkeeper quickly turned around to get the letter.
Soon, the shop owner took out the letter.
On the letter were the words, "To Young Master Lin". The handwriting was very elegant, it was Pan Mulan's handwriting.
Linlong immediately opened it and took out a piece of paper. He looked at it and saw a few lines of words written on it.
After reading it, Linlong couldn't help but sigh.
Pan Mulan had clearly stated in the letter that because Island Lord Pan Qi's death was related to Linlong, she couldn't face him. Of course, she didn't hate Linlong because she knew that Pan Qi had brought this upon himself. However, because she was Pan Qi's adopted daughter, she couldn't face Linlong. Hence, she chose to leave quietly.
"Young Master Lin, if there's an afterlife, I only hope that I won't have such regrets."
This was the last sentence of the letter.
"Island Lord, what exactly happened?" The others naturally didn't read the contents of the letter. Elder Qian couldn't help but ask when he saw Linlong sigh.
Elder Du and Pan Yi naturally looked at Linlong as well.
This young man was actually the new island lord! As for the shopkeeper and the others, they all widened their eyes and looked at Linlong in disbelief. They didn't expect Linlong to be so young.
Although news of Linlong becoming the island lord of Yangning Island had already spread, most people had never seen Linlong before. Hence, such a scene naturally occurred.
"Because of Pan Qi, she chose to leave quietly," Linlong said concisely.
Elder Qian and the others couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Linlong's words. They knew that Linlong had a good relationship with Pan Mulan, but they really didn't expect Pan Mulan to leave just like that.
"Elder Qian, immediately search for traces of Young Miss Mulan. Once you find her, immediately dispatch experts to protect her and report the situation to me. If anything happens to her, I will hold you responsible!" At this moment, Lin Long suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
Linlong's cautiousness made cold sweat appear on Elder Qian's back. He hurriedly replied, "Yes, island lord!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left to arrange for people to search for Pan Mulan.
Linlong naturally did this to protect Pan Mulan. Pan Mulan wasn't strong, and it would be dangerous if someone coveted her beauty.
After Elder Qian left, Linlong and the others didn't stay in the teahouse any longer and walked out.
As soon as they walked out, a slightly plump middle-aged man walked up to them with a face full of smiles. Then, he said to Elder Du, "Elder Du, long time no see. You're getting more and more energetic."
This middle-aged man didn't notice Linlong. It wasn't that he had poor eyesight, but that Elder Du happened to walk in front of Linlong.
This middle-aged man was followed by a young man. Although this young man looked humble, he couldn't conceal his arrogance.
"Mr. Fang, haven't you already settled in the Southern Region?" Elder Du couldn't help but ask when he saw this enthusiastic middle-aged man.
"I came back because of the incident on Yangning Island. Fortunately, the barrier finally disappeared," Mr. Fang said.
"Mr. Fang, what can I do for you?" Elder Du asked directly.
He had a good relationship with Mr. Fang. If it weren't for Linlong, he would have found a place to have a big meal with Mr. Fang.
"It's because of this Family Master Chen," Mr. Fang said.
"Chen Family Master?" Elder Du looked at the young man behind Mr. Fang in confusion.
"I'm Chen Junyue, the Chen Family Master of He Rui City in the Southern Region. Greetings, Elder Du!" The young man cupped his hands and said to Elder Du.
Elder Du couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect Chen Family Master to be so young."
Although the Chen Family of He Rui City was a bit far from Yangning Island, it was quite powerful. As an elder of Yangning Island, Elder Du naturally knew about this Chen Family.
"What can I do for you, Family Master Chen?" Elder Du asked immediately.
"It's nothing important. I came all the way to your Yangning Island because my younger brother was killed here," Chen Junyue said coldly.
"I didn't expect that," Elder Du said.
