The night passed in silence.
The next morning, Lu An walked into the courtyard. His senses covered the entire courtyard, and he frowned.
She still hadn't returned.
Did she go out to play, or did something really happen? He could understand Chu Yue's personality, but Bian Qingliu was a very strict person. She wouldn't have left without leaving a note.
Lu An sat on a stone chair in the pavilion, deep in thought. Not long after, a figure appeared in the pavilion. It was none other than Xu Yunyan.
"Young Master." Xu Yunyan said. She no longer called Lu An by his surname to prevent others from discovering his identity.
"Supervisor Xu, is there any news?" Lu An asked as he stood up.
"Yes," Xu Yunyan nodded and said, "Someone said that they left Lone Moon Island a week ago."
"A week ago?" Lu An was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How did this person confirm that it was Chu Yue and Bian Qingliu? Do they know each other?"
"Yes, he knows Bian Qingliu." Xu Yunyan said, "Miss Chu Yue always wears her hair in two ponytails. She's also very beautiful and easy to recognize. He shouldn't be mistaken."
"Do you know where they went?" Lu An asked again.
"I don't know. I'm still investigating." Xu Yunyan replied, "However, someone said that when they left, it didn't look like they were going out to play. It looked like they were going to do something. I've already sent people to see who took the mission a week ago and whether their names are on it. I've also asked my subordinates to ask around to see if they've been seen in other alliances. "
Lu An frowned when he heard this. He took a deep breath and said to Xu Yunyan, "Sorry to trouble you."
"You don't have to thank me, Young Master," Xu Yunyan said. "I'll inform you as soon as there's news."
After Xu Yunyan left, Lu An was still worried, but he could only wait. He returned to his room and continued to cultivate a celestial art. However, after cultivating for less than two hours, Xu Yunyan once again came to his courtyard.
Sensing Xu Yunyan's appearance, Lu An immediately stopped cultivating. He walked into the courtyard and stood before Xu Yunyan. Since Xu Yunyan could come back so quickly, she must have found something. She hurriedly asked, "Any more news?"
"That's right." Xu Yunyan furrowed her brows and said in a deep voice, "My people heard that Bian Qingliu must have obtained some information about the treasure at the bottom of the sea before leaving. Miss Chu Yue should have followed her. Generally speaking, when something like this appears, everyone acts quickly. Bian Qingliu was probably afraid that others would beat her to it, so she didn't leave a message for you. "
"What about the two of them?" Lu An immediately asked, "Are they still looking for treasure?"
"I don't think so." Xu Yunyan shook her head and said, "My people said that the treasure was taken away seven days ago. As for why they haven't returned yet, they don't know either."
"But …"
Lu An was stunned. He looked at the hesitant Xu Yunyan and hurriedly asked, "But what?"
Xu Yunyan glanced at Lu An and said, "I've heard of Bian Qingliu before. Many alliances would ask him to appraise the treasures that appear. He is quite famous in the Lonemoon Alliance. If the treasure that appears this time is very complicated, it is possible that he has been kidnapped and forced to decipher it for them. "
Lu An's body shook when he heard this. He said, "You mean that the two of them have been kidnapped?"
"Yes." Xu Yunyan nodded and said, "It's not like this hasn't happened before. Bian Qingliu's strength isn't high, and so is Miss Chu Yue. As long as it's an alliance, it's possible that they'll be targeted."
"In other words, as long as we know who took the treasure that day, it is possible to find them?" Lu An asked.
"That is true, but my people said that the treasure appeared suddenly that day. We don't even know who took it," Xu Yunyan said.
"But we can first rule out the Eight Major Alliances." Xu Yunyan analyzed. "The Eight Major Alliances have connections with many talents who appraise treasures. They would not fight over an unknown treasure. That would also break the rules, and the Lonemoon Alliance would be held accountable. So, the one who got the treasure is most likely a small alliance, or even a team or a sea wolf. "
Lu An's heart sank when he heard this. If that was the case, they would be in trouble.
The world was big. It was possible that the Heaven Master had set up a Teleportation Dharma Array anywhere. If the two of them were really kidnapped, they could be taken anywhere. They would not be able to find them at all.
Seeing Lu An's frown, Xu Yunyan said, "Don't worry too much. I heard that Bian Qingliu is a very smart person. Even if she was kidnapped, she should know how to protect herself. I will continue to send people to look for her. You don't have to worry. Just do what you need to do and wait for my news. "
Lu An looked at Xu Yunyan, nodded, and said, "Thank you very much."
Xu Yunyan smiled and disappeared from the courtyard, leaving Lu An standing alone in the courtyard.
No matter what, he could not wait like this. After taking a deep breath, Lu An disappeared from the courtyard.

Lu An flew at an extremely fast speed on the sea. His body was less than three meters away from the surface of the sea. His extremely fast speed caused the sea behind him to split into two sides, forming huge waves.
The place Lu An wanted to go was none other than the place where the treasure was rumored to have appeared seven days ago. If something really happened there, he might be able to find some clues.
Along the way, Lu An spread out his senses and searched for anything that appeared on the sea surface until he arrived at the place where the news was said to have appeared. It was a quiet sea surface, no different from any other place.
Lu An knew that the sea was moving. Even if there were clues, they might be washed away by the current. However, he had to try no matter what. After circling around, Lu An narrowed his eyes and rushed into the sea!
Rumble …
He was extremely fast as he flew into the deep sea. He was already at the mid-stage of Class 6, so he could dive deeper. He quickly sensed everything in the surrounding sea but found nothing.
If the clues were really washed away by the sea or fell to the bottom of the sea, he would not be able to find anything even if he killed him.
Was he really unable to find anything?
Lu An frowned as he circled around in the deep sea. Just as he was about to give up, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had sensed something.
He quickly ran forward and soon arrived at his destination. He ignited the Ninth Heavens Sacred Flame in the deep sea, illuminating everything around him.
In front of Lu An, he saw a huge ice coffin floating in the deep sea, motionless.
Lu An was shocked. This was Bian Qingliu's Heaven Technique. Why was it floating here?
He looked around the ice coffin. The density of this ice coffin seemed to be different from before. That was why it was floating a thousand meters deep in the sea. Moreover, this ice coffin was covered by some kind of power that kept it in place without moving. If he was not wrong, this should be caused by some kind of array. Once the array's power was exhausted, this ice coffin would be washed away.
However, this was very fortunate. Generally speaking, the power of an array formation that did not require a person to maintain it was limited. Even if it could withstand the surging currents for a long time, it would be a disaster if it encountered a mystical beast. If mystical beasts saw this ice coffin floating, they would definitely charge over. It was already very fortunate that this ice coffin was able to last until Lu An appeared.
However, no matter what, this ice coffin was definitely left behind by Bian Qingliu. Lu An immediately flew under the ice coffin and carried it toward the surface of the sea!
Boom!
The huge ice coffin rushed out of the sea, creating a huge sound wave. Lu An did not stop. He carried the ice coffin high into the sky before stopping.
Perhaps Bian Qingliu and Chu Yue were in this ice coffin?
Lu An did not know how to open this ice coffin, but he had his own method. He immediately released a huge amount of Ninth Heavens Sacred Flame, which completely enveloped the lid of the ice coffin. Under the burning of the Ninth Heavens Sacred Flame, the ice quickly melted.
After the lid melted, Lu An immediately looked down from the sky. When he saw what was inside, his body could not help but tremble!
There was no one in the ice coffin. However, there was a line of words carved at the bottom of the ice coffin.
"Three men and three women. One of the women has a shark tattoo on her back."
Lu An frowned when he saw this. His heart sank.
The good news about finding this ice coffin was that he had already confirmed that something had happened to Bian Qingliu and Chuyue, and that they had indeed been taken away. However, the bad news was that this information was too simple. It was too difficult to find them just based on Bian Qingliu's message.
