Chapter 293 Her True Identity

He glanced at Xin Moling sideways. "Hmph! You're always so rude. Can't you call me 'Uncle' like Mo'er does?"

Hearing Xie Cangming mention his sister, Xin Moling's eyes darkened, and he was enveloped by a sense of powerlessness. He only wanted to protect his hard-won sister, but every time he ended up putting Yan'er in trouble.

Feng Qingyang's lips curled slightly, but his gentle, jade-like face showed a somewhat unnatural smile.

"Hehe~ Ayuan, you look a lot older than I have seen in a few days."

Xuan Yuan never indulged him, and his cold gaze lingered on him and Xie Cangming for a moment.

How did you end up here with him?

Xie Cangming then walked over and sat down, taking over the question and saying leisurely, "Naturally, it's because my national teacher is so insightful that he's here to solve your problem."

"What do you mean? Do you know where Yan'er is?"

As clever as he was, Xuan Yuan immediately understood the meaning behind his words, and Xie Cangming was a very strange person in himself.

Xin Moling also turned around, her emotions becoming increasingly agitated. "Xie Cangming, where is Yan'er? You know how important Yan'er is to me. Stop keeping me in suspense and take me to her."

"Tsk~ Calm down!"

Her full head of snow-white hair was still so eye-catching, and her blue eyes were full of smiles, but she looked more helpless.

"Hey! I'm telling you, Grand Preceptor Xie, if you know where Yan Yan is, then hurry up and take us to find her. And please, don't be impatient. Yan Yan's life is currently hanging in the balance, and she's been through so much trauma these past few days. Do you know how dangerous it is for her to be wandering alone out there? Besides, it's freezing cold here. How can Yan Yan possibly call you 'Uncle'? You might not feel sorry for her, but I do!"

Hua Buyu stood in front of him, one hand on her hip, the other pointing at Xie Cangming and talking wildly, getting more and more excited as she spoke, her whole face turning red.

Xie Cangming's lips twitched slightly, momentarily forgetting about the oddball Hua Buyu.

"Don't worry, Mo'er is fine right now. She's just a little far away from you. Even if it's ten days or half a month, you won't see her again."

"say clearly."

Xuan Yuan's face instantly darkened, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at the pale face. He hadn't seen Yan'er for several days, and Xie Cangming actually said he wouldn't see her for ten days or half a month. He couldn't even bear to see her for a day...

Seeing his reaction, Xie Cangming couldn't help but chuckle and glanced around.

"Hey! Someone's missing."

"Who?"

Hua Buyu frowned, her tone growing increasingly impatient, "This Grand Preceptor Xie, we're asking you about Yan Yan's whereabouts, not asking you to come here to count heads."

Xie Cangming: "..."

He leaned back in his chair unhurriedly and turned to look at Xin Moling, who also had a bad expression.

"General Xin, I heard that your fiancée has also come along. I wonder where she is now?"

All three were taken aback. Why did Xie Cangming suddenly bring up Shui Yi?

Why are you asking about Yi'er?

"My question is, where is she right now?"

This seemingly unrelated question made Xin Moling increasingly uneasy. It was already Chenshi (7-9 AM), Yi'er should be up by now, and besides, she was so worried about Yan'er, she couldn't possibly be late...

Hua Buyu immediately got up and walked out, saying, "I'll go to the room and find Shuiyi."

Seeing this, Xuan Yuan felt increasingly uneasy. "Xie Cangming, where is Yan'er?"

"Let's talk about it when Hua Buyu arrives."

Before long, Hua Buyu burst in, panting heavily.

"Xin Moling, something terrible has happened! Shui Yi has disappeared."

"what?"

Xin Moling stood up instantly. "How could Yi'er be missing? Hua... Hua Buyu, did you come to the wrong room?"

“The calming soup I brought in last night is still in the bowl! I asked the waiters, and they all said they hadn’t seen Shuiyi.”

Xin Moling stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning. Where had Yi'er gone? The two people he loved most had vanished right before his eyes...

Seeing Xie Cangming's expectant look, Xuan Yuan felt something was amiss, but his expression gradually calmed down.

"Xie Cangming, what do you know? What exactly happened?"

"Hehe~ You'll have to ask General Xin about that."

"What do you mean? Hey! Xie Cangming, if you keep babbling on and on, believe me, I'll get Xuan Yuan to beat you up!"

Hua Buyu was so enraged that she unleashed a torrent of profanities at him and even threatened to beat him up, leaving the men helpless for quite some time.

Xie Cangming was speechless. How could anyone like such a vulgar woman?

"Ahem~ General Xin, may I ask about the background of your wife?"

"Origin? Is Yi'er's origin related to their disappearance?"

A hint of murderous intent flickered between Xin Moling's brows; no one could harm the two women he loved most.

"Well then, tell me about Shui Yi's identity!"

He paused for a moment, then recalled his meeting and getting to know Shuiyi.

“Yi’er… Yi’er is from a tribe on the border.”

"Where is the border? Which tribe?"

“That tribe is located at the Yunshen Mountain, where Yuanqi and Qiyun meet. On that day, I went to Yunshen Mountain alone to pick Ice Soul Snow Lotus for my aunt’s birthday. I happened to meet Yi’er, who was seriously injured. I took her back to the army to recuperate for a few days. I was in a hurry to return to the capital and thought I would take her back later. But I didn’t expect Yi’er to come looking for me on her own.”

The more Xuan Yuan listened, the more his brows furrowed. "Brother, are you saying that Shui Yi comes from the Fallen God Mountain?"

"Ah."

Was her original surname Shui?

"Yes, Yi'er said that she took her mother's surname from birth, and her mother's surname is Shui."

Xuan Yuan pondered for a long time, then shook his head seriously, "No! Big brother, Shui Yi is lying to you."

"Xuan Yuan, what are you saying?"

Xin Molin suddenly looked up, his expression instantly becoming blank and helpless. What did he mean by Yi'er lying to him?

“Brother, you don’t know this, but my mother’s family is from the Fallen God Mountain. There is only one tribe in the Fallen God Mountain, and the whole tribe is surnamed Xuan. They worship the phoenix and use black as their main color. It is impossible for them to have the surname Shui. Moreover, Shui Yi’s clothes and appearance do not look like those of the Xuan tribe at all.”

"This...this...Xin Moling, so Shui Yi was lying to you from the very beginning!"

Hua Buyu was greatly surprised. Could this be the legendary honey trap? Was the purpose to kidnap Yan Yan?

Xin Moling's mind went blank at this moment. She couldn't believe anything Xuan Yuan said, but upon closer reflection, the events of that day seemed too coincidental...

“Hehehe~ Xuan Yuan is right. There are only Xuan surnames in the Fallen God Mountain, and Shui Yi is indeed not from the Xuan clan of the Fallen God Mountain. Mo'er's disappearance is also related to her.”

"You mean, Shuiyi stole Yanyan away last night during the chaos? Why did she do that?"

"Xie Cangming, since you knew Shui Yi's identity, why didn't you say so from the beginning? Where did she take Yan'er?"

Xuan Yuan and Hua Buyu each questioned Xie Cangming with a tone of displeasure, while Xin Moling was on the verge of a breakdown...
