"Shy, would he be shy when he saw me?"
Ye Shisan looked bewildered, "Don't talk nonsense, and don't try to matchmake here!"
"Isn't it?"
Lin Ke said with a smile, "I've never seen Long Yi act like this before. Does he really have feelings for you? If so, you have to work hard, Long Yi is a good catch!"
"I..."
Ye Shisan stood frozen, not knowing how to respond, "Don't talk nonsense. If he doesn't like it, wouldn't it be unrequited love!"
"How do you know if you don't try!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Besides, Long Yi has been quite concerned about you all the way. Can't you see it?"
"Is there?"
Ye Shisan frowned, a little surprised. After all, he was used to staying within the Ye clan and didn't understand matters of romance.
"Believe me, you won't be wrong!"
Lu Fan spoke again, "Long Yi is a good girl. If you are sincere, you might win his heart."
"Cough cough..."
Ye Shisan coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, "I have other things to do, so I won't chat with you here!"
After speaking, Ye Shisan turned and left, a strange expression on his face. Lu Fan and Lin Ke's words did make him feel something, but he still felt something was off.
After Ye Shisan left, Lin Ke looked at Lu Fan, "Do you think this is true? Does Long Yi really have feelings for Ye Shisan?"
"Who knows!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "But as people from the same five ancient clans, it might not be a bad thing if they get together!"
Lin Ke trembled slightly. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to say that, but it made sense. Long Yi and Ye Shisan were quite a good match.
Looking at the vast night sky, Lu Fan felt relaxed and at ease. Especially since the mission at the peak of the North Sea had been completed, they could return to the Dragon Capital tomorrow.
Not long after, they returned to their respective rooms and fell asleep.
The next day, the old village chief, mustering his strength, came to the village entrance. He did this every morning to watch the beautiful morning glow.
Lu Fan and the others were leaving today, and he was quite reluctant.
"Village Chief, I didn't expect you to be up so early!"
Lu Fan walked over, "Are you here to see us off?"
"That's right!"
The old village chief smiled, "You are leaving North Sea Village today. I naturally have to see you off personally, otherwise, wouldn't it be impolite!"
"Old Village Chief, you are too polite, we feel embarrassed!" Lin Ke chuckled.
"You are guests of North Sea Village, and it is only right to see you off," the old village chief said indifferently.
As they were talking, Long Yi walked out of the room, looking upset, "My Dragon Roar Sword is gone!"
"Gone?"
Lu Fan was slightly surprised, "What's going on?"
"I don't know. It was by my side when I slept last night, and it was gone when I woke up!"
Long Yi said coldly, "Could it be people from the Ghost Hall who sneaked into North Sea Village last night?"
"That's absolutely impossible!"
The old village chief shook his head, "If anyone had trespassed into North Sea Village, the barrier would have detected it long ago. How could it have waited until now!"
"Then why did the Dragon Roar Sword suddenly disappear?" Long Yi frowned.
"Could it be someone from North Sea Village?"
Ye Shisan said, "The Dragon Roar Sword is a divine artifact. If someone coveted it, it's very possible."
"Absolutely impossible!"
Lu Fan said, "North Sea Village has a great connection with the five ancient clans. Why would they steal the Dragon Roar Sword? There must be some misunderstanding!"
The old village chief frowned, even he didn't know what was going on. Not long after, he gathered the people of North Sea Village.
"Did anyone enter Long Yi's room last night?"
The old village chief looked at the people of North Sea Village, his demeanor becoming colder. They had a friendship of hundreds of years, and it couldn't be ruined by someone from North Sea Village.
"Old Village Chief, what happened? Why did you wake everyone up so early?" Pang Xie said.
"Miss Long's sword is missing. This matter must have been done by someone from North Sea Village!"
The old village chief said coldly, "No one entered North Sea Village last night."
"How is that possible? How could the people of North Sea Village steal the Dragon Roar Sword!"
Crab said, "Are you mistaken?"
"This matter will never be wrong, otherwise, how could the Dragon Roar Sword have disappeared without a trace!"
The old village chief leaned on his staff, exuding great authority, "If any of you stole the Dragon Roar Sword, confess truthfully, and perhaps you will be punished lightly. Otherwise, you will be expelled from North Sea Village."
"Village Chief, we all grew up under your care. How could we possibly steal the Dragon Roar Sword!"
Da Yu said, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
"I don't think it's a misunderstanding, but someone among you is lying!"
Ye Shisan narrowed his eyes, "The people from the Ghost Hall have already left the peak of the North Sea. The only ones who could have done this are probably people from North Sea Village."
"That's slander! The people of North Sea Village are simple and honest. How could they do such a thing!"
Da Yu said indignantly, "You have no evidence, so don't talk nonsense. Besides, North Sea Village helped you obtain the Dragon Roar Sword. Is it inappropriate for you to slander us like this?"
Ye Shisan was about to speak when Lu Fan stepped forward, "Brother Da Yu is right. The people of North Sea Village would never steal the Dragon Roar Sword. There must be a reason!"
"Lu kid, you don't need to defend them!"
The old village chief said coldly, "I will give you an explanation for this matter!"
"Crab, take everyone to search immediately. Even if you have to turn North Sea Village upside down, you must find the Dragon Roar Sword!"
The old village chief's expression was cold, "I want to see who is being selfish."
Crab nodded slightly, not daring to delay, and quickly led everyone to search for the Dragon Roar Sword.
Da Yu sat aside, crossing his legs and looking displeased, "Can't even keep a sword properly, and blames us when it's lost. What a joke!"
Long Yi's face turned ashen. How could he not understand the meaning of Da Yu's words? However, this was not the time for arguments, so she didn't say anything more.
"Da Yu, how can you speak like that!"
The old village chief said sternly, "The Dragon Roar Sword was lost within North Sea Village, but it is North Sea Village's responsibility. If we cannot find the Dragon Roar Sword, how can we face them!"
"He lost the sword. What does it have to do with North Sea Village even if it's not found!"
Da Yu was somewhat displeased and completely indifferent. After all, he was quite moved by a divine artifact like the Dragon Roar Sword. It was a pity that it would ultimately be taken by outsiders, and he had already harbored dissatisfaction in his heart.
