　　Ye Wushuang took a step forward, signaling everyone to step back slightly. He gently raised his palm, where strands of spiritual patterns began to gather and intertwine.
　　By now, everyone was accustomed to Ye Wushuang’s mastery of spirit arrays.
　　One after another, spiritual patterns were etched out, slowly spreading and covering the black iron pillar.
　　”Stop！！！”
　　At that very moment, a voice abruptly rang out.
　　Everyone around immediately tensed up, their gazes snapping toward a particular direction.
　　On the other side of a mountain path in the valley, a group of about several dozen people suddenly appeared, with a young man shouting anxiously.
　　”Brother Ye, don’t touch that black iron pillar！”
　　The spiritual runes condensed on Ye Wushuang’s palm gradually dissipated as he looked toward the group of several dozen people.
　　Leading them was a woman in a long dress, with bright eyes and white teeth, an elegant posture, and a cold aura. Her brows carried a hint of heroic spirit, and her gaze was also fixed on Ye Wushuang.
　　”Bai Siqi！”
　　Bai Siqi from the Bai family of the Tianxuan Continent.
　　Standing beside Bai Siqi were none other than Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe, the siblings from the Mu family whom Ye Wushuang had met earlier.
　　After their last parting, Ye Wushuang had been quite worried about these three. Now, it seemed they were safe and sound, though it was unclear how they had also ended up on this Hanging Sky Island.
　　Mu Xu jogged over excitedly and said to Ye Wushuang, “We meet again, Brother Ye.”
　　This “Brother Ye” made Huang Yu, who was standing nearby, instantly wary.
　　”Damn！”
　　Since when had Mu Xu from the Mu family of the Tianxuan Continent become so familiar with Imperial Preceptor Ye？
　　Could it be that he was impressed by Imperial Preceptor Ye’s talent and wanted to recruit him into the Bai family as a son-in-law？
　　Mu Qinghe also smiled at Ye Wushuang and said, “Young Master Ye, we meet again.”
　　Ye Wushuang nodded slightly and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “I didn’t see you in the ancient city earlier. How did you get here？”
　　”Ancient city？ What ancient city？” Mu Xu looked puzzled.
　　The Void Land is vast. Originally, only the dominant forces of the Tianyuan Continent and renowned rogue cultivators entered this place. Those from the Tianxuan Continent and Tianhuang Continent also came with their own purposes.
　　With everyone scattered, it’s indeed not easy to encounter each other.
　　At this point, Ye Wushuang recounted the story of Tuotian Ancient City, the ten towering dragon pillars, and how everyone arrived here.
　　After hearing it, Mu Xu exclaimed in surprise, “There’s actually an ancient city within the Void Land?”
　　”There are even nine wondrous sites in the ancient city. Unfortunately, before we could fully explore them, those ten dragon pillars suddenly rose from the ground and destroyed everything.”
　　Mu Qinghe, standing nearby, chimed in, “We came here with Sister Bai after discovering an ancient tomb left by a saint before his death. That saint seemed to have uncovered some secrets of the Void Land. From there, we inexplicably ended up on this floating island！”
　　Ye Wushuang noticed that both Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe’s auras had changed significantly. Though they hadn’t reached the Stellar Transformation Realm, they were both at the peak of the Seventh Tribulation Realm, not far from breakthrough.
　　As for Bai Siqi… this seemingly aloof and beautiful woman’s aura… was on par with his own.
　　Most likely, she has reached the peak of the Star-Plucking Realm！
　　When I saw Bai Siqi earlier, she was only at the mid-stage of the Star-Plucking Realm. To advance two minor realms in such a short time, while luck played a part, it also speaks volumes about Bai Siqi’s exceptional cultivation talent！
　　Bai Siqi stepped forward and said, “These black iron pillars must not be touched. Earlier, a presumptuous expert from my Bai family accidentally touched one and was instantly reduced to ashes.”
　　Hearing this, everyone instinctively distanced themselves from the black iron pillars.
　　Ye Wushuang also raised an eyebrow and took a few steps back.
　　”You arrived earlier than us. Have you discovered anything unusual on this suspended island？”
　　Ye Wushuang added, “Have you seen a woman who looks like this?”
　　As he spoke, spiritual energy swirled around Ye Wushuang’s fingertips, coalescing into a vivid likeness of Qing Shiyu’s appearance and demeanor.
　　Bai Siqi and the others glanced at it, finding the woman as radiant as a lotus emerging from water, strikingly beautiful, but they all shook their heads, indicating they hadn’t seen her.
　　”Although we haven’t seen this woman, there is indeed something unusual here.”
　　Mu Xu glanced at Bai Siqi and, seeing her nod, continued, “We came across a strange valley. There’s something off about it, hard to describe. Brother Ye, you might want to come take a look with us.”
　　”Alright！” Ye Wushuang replied without hesitation.
　　At this moment, Lin Yunhan, Xuan Tiansheng, and others couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows.
　　Although they had heard Ye Wushuang mention the Bai and Mu families of Tianxuan Continent, one’s heart is separated by layers of flesh—who knows if these people harbor ill intentions？
　　However, since Ye Wushuang agreed outright, they couldn’t say much and followed Bai Siqi and the others as they proceeded together.
　　On the way, Lin Yunhan moved closer to Ye Wushuang and whispered, “We must stay vigilant—what if it’s a trap?”
　　Even though Ye Wushuang had saved the lives of these siblings, who knows if they might repay kindness with enmity？
　　Hearing this, Ye Wushuang waved his hand and said, “No need to worry, rest assured.”
　　Lin Yunhan nodded and said no more.
　　Soon, Ye Wushuang stepped forward and walked side by side with Bai Siqi.
　　”Your grandmother…”
　　Ye Wushuang spoke first, “Is her condition very serious now？”
　　Bai Siqi didn’t expect Ye Wushuang to ask her this instead of inquiring about the strangeness of the valley, and for a moment, she was taken aback.
　　Looking at Ye Wushuang, Bai Siqi said, “I heard from Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe that Young Master Ye is concerned about my grandmother’s condition because my third uncle, Bai Haoran, once showed kindness to Yin Shenghao and others.”
　　”But as far as I know… Yin Shenghao, Su Chenyang, and others were not from the same era as my third uncle. Young Master Ye seems to be hiding something！”
　　Ye Wushuang was taken aback.
　　He hadn’t expected Bai Siqi to actually dwell on this matter so intently.
　　”That was when Elder Yin and Elder Su were very young…” Ye Wushuang replied calmly, “At that time, Lord Bai Haoran was still alive.”
　　Bai Siqi simply studied Ye Wushuang with her eyes, saying nothing more.
　　”Is the Purple Star Ginseng really effective for your grandmother’s condition？” Ye Wushuang asked again.
　　He was deeply concerned about his mother’s situation.
　　Nine souls, reincarnated nine times.
　　In each of his nine lives, he had a different name.
　　Yet in all nine lives, he remained truly himself！
　　In this life, his mother Liu Yuemei was his mother.
　　In his seventh life, his mother Mu Qingjun was also his mother.
　　No matter when, such emotions never change.
　　Hearing Ye Wushuang’s question, Bai Siqi slowly replied, “Not necessarily, but this item is rare and highly effective. Whether it will actually help my grandmother… we’re not sure. Our Bai family has no other options left, so… we can only try every known method.”
　　Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang directly took Bai Siqi’s hand, led her away from the crowd, and stepped aside.
　　This action left the entire large entourage following behind utterly bewildered.
　　Lin Yunhan and the others were well aware that the relationship between Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu had long been an open secret, but now, what was Ye Wushuang doing？ Holding that young Bai family girl’s hand？
　　As for the Bai and Mu family members, they were even more dumbfounded.
　　Bai Siqi was arguably the most talented and… stunningly beautiful woman among her peers in the entire Tianxuan Continent, a true prodigy of her generation！
　　Ever since Bai Siqi displayed her extraordinary talents, countless suitors had pursued her, yet not a single man had ever gotten close to her, let alone held her hand and walked with her！
　　Mu Xu, looking utterly confused, said, “Ye Wushuang held Siqi-jie’s hand？”
　　Mu Qinghe stammered, “I… this… he…”
　　After pulling Bai Siqi aside, Ye Wushuang turned back to see a mix of anger, shock, and bewilderment on her delicate face.
　　Noticing their hands still clasped together, Ye Wushuang awkwardly smiled and let go.
　　Bai Siqi, however, stood there in a daze.
　　He actually dared to hold my hand？？？
　　From childhood till now, aside from family members, he was the first outsider to ever hold her hand！
　　However, for Ye Wushuang, he psychologically regards Bai Siqi, Mu Xu, and Mu Qinghe as juniors.
　　An elder pulling a junior aside to have a private chat—there’s nothing wrong with that.
　　Moreover, in terms of seniority, Bai Siqi is the daughter of the fourth brother Bai Haoyan, so she really should call him ‘Third Uncle’！
　　However, he is now Ye Wushuang, not the former Third Young Master of the Bai family, Bai Haoran！
　　”Sorry, it’s crowded over there. There are a few things I’d like to say to you alone.”
　　Ye Wushuang coughed before speaking earnestly.
　　”You… say…”
　　Bai Siqi’s tone was somewhat stiff at this moment.
　　Could this guy be… confessing to me？
　　”Do you recognize this？”
　　Ye Wushuang clenched his palm and then opened it, revealing a faintly glowing ganoderma leaf shimmering in his hand.
　　”A sacred plant！ Purple Blood Jade Ganoderma！”
　　Bai Siqi’s pretty face showed a hint of astonishment. When she looked at Ye Wushuang again, her expression underwent several changes.
　　The Tianxuan Continent is a mid-level continent, a tier higher than the low-level Tianyuan Continent.
　　The Bai family is one of the four great families of the Tianxuan Continent, and its patriarch, Bai Chengtian, has long been a figure at the Saint Heaven Realm level.
　　In fact, Bai Siqi’s father Bai Haoyan, her second uncle Bai Xingjian, and her eldest aunt Bai Qiyun are all at the Saint Heaven Realm level.
　　But even for them… finding a Sacred Plant is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
　　And with the Bai family’s financial resources, it’s also very hard to purchase some precious Sacred Plants from the vast lands of various regions.
　　Who would have thought Ye Wushuang actually has a Sacred Plant—Purple Blood Jade Mushroom！
　　”Good that you recognize it！”
　　Ye Wushuang let out a sigh of relief and smiled, saying： “If you didn’t recognize it, explaining would have been quite troublesome.”
　　”What exactly are you trying to say？” Bai Siqi asked directly.
