Zhu Ling'er then popped out.
Initially, Su Yu Yan harbored hostility towards Zhu Ling'er.
However, after spending some time together, Su Yu Yan felt it wouldn't be bad to be sisters with Zhu Ling'er.
At least she was pure-hearted.
Moreover, the Zhu family behind Zhu Ling'er could help Zhou Yu a lot.
In Su Yu Yan's opinion, what Zhou Yu did was all on the edge of a knife.
The Su family was merely a small, second-rate family nestled in Yunhai City.
They could rarely help Zhou Yu.
Instead, they often troubled him.
If the Zhu family could be brought in as Zhou Yu's backing, Zhou Yu would surely feel much safer and more at ease!
This was Su Yu Yan's truest thought.
After hearing this, Zhou Yu chuckled wryly.
He stroked Su Yu Yan's head and said, "Do I look like someone who needs backing?"
It was more like he was the one who provided backing.
Of course, Zhou Yu didn't say the latter part aloud.
Otherwise, it would sound arrogant.
Zhou Yu held Su Yu Yan's small hand and comforted her, "No matter what happens in the future, for now, you are the only one by my side."
"Don't worry, I won't let my woman suffer."
A hint of panic suddenly flashed in Su Yu Yan's dark eyes.
Bang bang bang—
At this moment, Su Yu Yan felt her heart suddenly race.
She bit her lower lip and turned her face away shyly, "We haven't even consummated our marriage, how can I be considered your woman."
Now it was Zhou Yu's turn to be astonished.
Su Yu Yan, who usually appeared shy and timid, was now capable of such bold words!
It was evident that the matter of not consummating their marriage had been on Su Yu Yan's mind countless times!
Zhou Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
He didn't intend to tell Su Yu Yan the real reason, but instead comforted her, "You, wait until I resolve my current matters, then we can talk about other things."
Su Yu Yan was, after all, a girl.
She was easily embarrassed!
It was enough for her to muster the courage to bring it up once, but she wouldn't dare to say it repeatedly.
So she nodded vaguely.
Just then.
Ring ring ring—
Zhou Yu's phone rang.
Zhou Yu looked down and saw it was Yun Yan Lan calling, and he was overjoyed!
"Aunty Lan, have you found my master?" Zhou Yu asked impatiently after pressing the answer button.
Yun Yan Lan's giggles came through the phone.
Even through the phone, Zhou Yu could imagine how charming Yun Yan Lan looked when she laughed!
"Little Yu is so anxious?" Yun Yan Lan playfully teased, likely intending to prolong the suspense.
Zhou Yu's face darkened.
He was about to say that he couldn't use his true qi.
But he suddenly remembered Su Yu Yan was present, so he turned to look.
Who would have thought.
While Zhou Yu was on the phone, Su Yu Yan had already wisely left.
She knew Zhou Yu had important matters to attend to.
It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but Su Yu Yan was afraid that if she wasn't careful with her words, she might leak the secrets of what Zhou Yu was doing!
So the best way was to not see or hear anything!
Seeing that Su Yu Yan had left, Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Su Yu Yan.
He was just afraid of making Su Yu Yan worry if he revealed the truth.
Su Yu Yan was an ordinary person, so what if she knew Zhou Yu couldn't use his true qi?
She couldn't help anyway!
She could only worry from the sidelines!
It was fortunate that Su Yu Yan left on her own.
Thinking this, Zhou Yu calmed his mind and continued to say to Yun Yan Lan on the phone.
"Aunty Lan, can I not be anxious?"
"I can no longer use my true qi. I'm afraid if this drags on, you'll be attending my funeral."
Zhou Yu's words were very serious, causing Yun Yan Lan to stop joking.
She hadn't had time to communicate with Zhou Yu these past few days.
She didn't know that Zhou Yu's condition had become this severe!
After some thought.
Yun Yan Lan said, "I do have news of your master, and I've already sent someone to contact him."
"But I don't know if he will return to his usual resting place."
After saying this, Yun Yan Lan sent a file.
She cautioned Zhou Yu, "He did appear in the capital before, but he might have left again. I'll send you his recent whereabouts. You can have people keep an eye out."
Yun Yan Lan knew that Zhou Yu was quite capable now.
Not only did he have many informants in Yunhai City, but he had also developed in Jiangnan City.
Yun Yan Lan felt at ease entrusting these two places to Zhou Yu.
"Understood, Aunty Lan."
"If I can't find the old man, what should I do?"
Even Zhou Yu, who usually had a clear mind, felt a sense of bewilderment at this moment.
It seemed like this was a major problem with his body.
Even though he could only not use his true qi now, it would likely worsen if it dragged on!
He feared that in the end, he might have to dissipate all his true qi just to save his life...
Although Zhou Yu wasn't overly attached to gains and losses, he couldn't bear to lose the cultivation he had accumulated for so long.
Starting over would be even harder than before!
"I will come to Yunhai City to find you then," Yun Yan Lan said solemnly, as if she had made a decision.
If the old man couldn't be found, then Yun Yan Lan would disregard their prior agreement and would definitely meet Zhou Yu to help him overcome all difficulties.
The only thing Yun Yan Lan could think of now was to offer her innate charm body...
After all, once the Nine Yang Technique broke its virginity cultivation, it would regress by a minor realm.
And for the rest of his life, he wouldn't be able to advance further!
If Zhou Yu were fine, Yun Yan Lan wouldn't casually disrupt his Nine Yang Technique before it was perfected.
But now Zhou Yu was in mortal danger.
Compared to his future achievements, the priority was clear!
Only by staying alive could one hope for future endeavors.
After chatting with Yun Yan Lan for a while, Zhou Yu hung up the phone with a heavy heart.
Staring at the chandelier on the ceiling, he couldn't help but murmur, "Master, where on earth did you go?"
Zhou Yu wasn't sure at the moment whether the anomaly in his body was a necessary stage in reaching the eighth level of the Nine Yang Technique.
Or if it was influenced by something else.
Only by finding the old man could he get an answer!
Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't have to ponder for long before Su Yu Yan came downstairs.
She had also changed her clothes.
Seeing Zhou Yu still sitting blankly in the living room, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "What's wrong? You look like a dummy."
Zhou Yu snapped back to attention and saw Su Yu Yan dressed neatly. He asked curiously, "Are you going out?"
Su Yu Yan walked to Zhou Yu's side and tapped his cheek with her finger.
She chided, "It's not me going out, it's us going out!"
Zhou Yu was confused.
His mind was filled with his physical condition just now, and he hadn't noticed anything else.
Why were they going out?
"Don't you remember? I mentioned earlier that Zhu Ling'er is coming to Yunhai City today and asked us to pick her up."
"Hurry up and get ready, it's almost time for her to arrive at the airport."
Su Yu Yan urged.
Zhou Yu then remembered!
