"Sister, are they at headquarters?" Li Xuan asked Luo Xuan after several rounds of drinks, his gaze shifting.
Luo Xuan shook her head slightly. "Not currently."
Li Xuan sighed and took another gulp of wine. "Sister, I feel like I was picked up."
"Don't worry, you'll see them eventually," Luo Xuan said softly.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Luo Xuan with a serious expression. "Sister, are you in charge of headquarters for now?"
Luo Xuan nodded. "What do you want to say, Xuan di?"
Li Xuan pondered for a moment and then said, "Sister, I'm not sure if my thoughts are mature yet. However, I've seen some clues from Lin Ce. Let me look into this further before we discuss it."
Luo Xuan understood Li Xuan's meaning instantly. However, this involved the rules established by their adoptive parents, and even Luo Xuan couldn't easily change them. But since Li Xuan had discovered these problems, it would be best for him to correct them himself.
This wasn't because Luo Xuan didn't want to take responsibility, but by entrusting it to Li Xuan, it would serve as practice and growth for him. After all, the Xingyao Business was originally founded for Li Xuan. As the future master of Xingyao Business, Li Xuan had this obligation and responsibility.
"Xuan di, are you coming back to headquarters with me?" Luo Xuan asked.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly. "I plan to look around. This way, I can understand things better. I'll contact you if necessary."
Luo Xuan pondered for a moment and nodded. It seemed Li Xuan truly wanted to thoroughly change the internal issues of Xingyao Business. Luo Xuan also agreed with Li Xuan's approach. Without a genuine understanding, going back to headquarters and giving orders would undoubtedly seem like meddling.
Even if they outwardly agreed but made no changes inwardly, it would go against Li Xuan's original intention.
"Xuan di, where do you plan to start?" Luo Xuan asked after thinking for a moment.
Li Xuan smiled. "Sister, let me keep that a surprise for now. I'll contact you when the time is right."
Luo Xuan nodded, then looked at Huang Lian. "I don't want a single word of today's events leaked out."
Huang Lian immediately stood up and replied, "I understand. Also, I will conduct an internal investigation of this branch myself."
Luo Xuan nodded, then stood up and looked at Li Xuan. "Xuan di, then I'll wait for you at headquarters?"
Li Xuan smiled and nodded. "Sister, if you have any news about them, remember to contact me."
Luo Xuan nodded, then with a thought, a storage ring flew in front of Li Xuan.
"There are a hundred divine swords and some spirit stones inside. If there's enough time, I can even gather more. After I return, I'll keep an eye out for you," Luo Xuan said.
"Thank you, sister," Li Xuan said, his eyes lighting up. He didn't refuse. There was no need for pretense between siblings.
"By the way, Xuan di, do you have a sister named Li Yao?" Luo Xuan asked, pausing as she was about to leave, a thought striking her.
Li Xuan was stunned, his expression instantly becoming serious. "Sister, has something happened to Yao'er?"
Luo Xuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly. "A year ago, a great battle took place in the Ghost Domain. According to the news received, Li Yao was seriously injured."
Li Xuan was struck by lightning, his aura instantly becoming turbulent.
"Xuan di, calm down. At her level, as long as she doesn't die, she can recover," Luo Xuan said hastily.
"Sister, tell me the detailed situation." After Luo Xuan finished speaking, Li Xuan's aura stabilized.
Luo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and then recounted what she knew.
"Sister, you mean there's also the shadow of the Demon Realm behind this?" Li Xuan asked, furrowing his brows after hearing Luo Xuan's account.
Luo Xuan nodded slightly. "I also heard you mention Li Yao before, but since I haven't met her, I don't remember very clearly. However, our Xingyao Business pays attention to any news from the Four-Dimensional Space."
"Actually, if she hadn't announced her name as Li Yao, I wouldn't have known she was the sister you mentioned, Xuan di. After all, in the Ghost Domain, and even in this Four-Dimensional Space, people only remember the title of Ghost Emperor."
Luo Xuan paused and continued, "According to the intelligence we've obtained, Li Yao has maintained a balance with the current Ghost Emperor since returning to the Ghost Domain. A year ago, they fought a great battle. At that time, Li Yao's strength was almost equal to the current Ghost Emperor's, so there was no clear winner."
"However, in the last confrontation, Li Yao was ambushed. Although she managed to keep her life, it can be said that she lost the fight against the current Ghost Emperor."
"Who from the Demon Realm made the move?" Li Xuan asked in a deep voice.
Luo Xuan hesitated, but seeing Li Xuan's somber expression, she finally spoke. "In the Demon Realm, the Demon Emperor Lian Sheng."
"I remember," Li Xuan said, nodding slightly. Although his face was calm, the killing intent in his eyes was extremely intense.
"Xuan di, that Demon Emperor Lian Sheng is the ruler of the Demon Realm, and his strength has reached the Dao Attainment realm. Without sufficient strength, Xuan di, do not act rashly," Luo Xuan said hastily.
Li Xuan fell silent for a long time. Seeing this, Luo Xuan didn't continue to persuade him.
After a long while, Li Xuan suddenly laughed. "Sister, are you sure Yao'er is still alive?"
Luo Xuan nodded. "I can be sure of that. Because after that great battle, the Ghost Domain was closed. It is speculated that Li Yao controls the special methods of the Ghost Domain. Even that Demon Emperor Lian Sheng was directly repelled. Otherwise, knowing it was Li Yao, I would have sent people to support her in the Ghost Domain."
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and looked at Luo Xuan. "Sister, lend me a cloud ship."
Luo Xuan felt a pang of regret for mentioning this, but it was too late to turn back. Luo Xuan naturally understood what Li Xuan intended to do with the ship.
"Remember, do not act rashly," Luo Xuan said, placing a spatial ring into Li Xuan's hand and admonishing him again.
Li Xuan nodded and smiled. "Sister Xuan, don't worry. I'm not a child. And until I have the strength, I won't do something as futile as throwing an egg against a rock. As long as Yao'er is alive, everything can be discussed."
Luo Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xuan's words indicated that he had thought things through. As for Li Xuan wanting a cloud ship, it was clear he intended to go to the Ghost Domain. Moreover, after the Ghost Domain closed, many experts went to observe, so Li Xuan wouldn't encounter much trouble.
Meanwhile, Huang Lian, standing nearby, was inwardly shocked. The former ruler of the Ghost Domain, ranked tenth in the Four-Dimensional Space, was the young master's sister?
