NOVPUBAs for Lin Qian taking away the entire treasury, Ye Xin had no opinions at all, her face even devoid of the slightest dissatisfaction.
After all, she had not made a move from the beginning to the end, nor had she been able to help in any way.
"Xinxin, if you need anything, just let me know," Lin Qian said, walking up to Ye Xin.
Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Ye Xin nodded, "Of course, you have gained so much, and are rich as can be."
At Ye Xin’s words, Lin Qian laughed aloud, yet shook his head at the same time.
In truth, the treasury of the Dangyuan Sect was really nothing to Lin Qian; the wealth of the Huaxia Empire was far beyond what a single Dangyuan Sect could compare to.
However, the pills, Primordial Weapons, Soul Devices, and scriptures within the Dangyuan Sect held an indispensable role in the research for the Huaxia Empire.
For the Huaxia Empire, understanding this new world was indeed a more precious treasure.
"What do you plan to do, Elder Zhang?" Lin Qian turned around and asked Zhang Juncheng.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Juncheng replied to Lin Qian, "This elder will stay here to recover, and once I have recovered to a certain extent, I will then go to see if the seeds of the Dangyuan Sect still exist in this world."
Lin Qian nodded silently, pointing to the center of the Array, "Elder Zhang, after Nan Xin is refined, it will leave behind essence that can be used to aid your recovery."
Zhang Juncheng’s eyes lit up. Nan Xin was a formidable figure of a different race, even stronger than him at the time. If he could absorb and refine the essence of Nan Xin’s flesh and blood, his recovery would be greatly accelerated.
And when fully recovered, his realm might even improve again.
"This old man thanks you for your generous gift, young friend," Zhang Juncheng bowed to Lin Qian, then returned to the center of the Array and sat down cross-legged to cultivate and restore his own strength.
"What should we do now? We’ve been delayed here so long; I’m afraid it’s too late to participate in the remaining trials of the ruins," Ye Xin sighed, stepping forward to tidy Lin Qian’s clothes, "Originally came to experience and cultivate ourselves, but ended up just watching you perform brilliantly."
"Hehe, just see who your future husband is," Lin Qian laughed, lifting Ye Xin into his arms and spinning her around, startling her.
After the frolic, Lin Qian put Ye Xin down, looking around, "The later trials, if we don’t go, so be it. Besides, even if the trial results were good, could the gains be as good as ours?"
Lin Qian then slapped his forehead and burst into laughter, "I almost forgot about this detail; it seems the Middle Ages ruins will not open again in the future."
"Ah? Why is that?" When Ye Xin heard Lin Qian say this, she asked in surprise.
Lin Qian spread his arms, gesturing to Ye Xin to look around.
Ye Xin looked around blankly, seeing only the flat ground since the treasury hall had been taken away by Lin Qian, with nothing else remaining.
Following that, Ye Xin also thought of something and covered her mouth, laughing out loud, "Right, you’ve taken away the treasury, even if they passed the trials, there would be no reward."
People of the Coastal State knew that after succeeding in the trials within the Middle Ages ruins, the rewards of pills, Primordial Weapons, Soul Devices, and scriptures would be given based on performance.
However, no one knew where these reward items came from.
Upon reaching this second underground level of the space, Ye Xin immediately realized that the rewards for passing the trials were evidently moved out of this treasury.
Now that the treasury had been given to Lin Qian by Zhang Juncheng and taken away, what rewards could possibly be offered for future trials of the Middle Ages ruins?
Moreover, now that Zhang Juncheng’s issue had been resolved and he was recovering his cultivation here, he had no way to preside over the trials here anymore.
To ensure the stability of his recovery, Zhang Juncheng would completely seal off the Small World after Lin Qian and Ye Xin had left.
"Once we are out, I’ll give Lei Qian and the others some nice things. As for the others, they’ll just have to suck it up," Lin Qian chuckled as he looked at the open ground, "It’s just their bad luck."
"By the way, Little Qian, you started mentioning that your uncle’s and aunt’s fates are uncertain..." Immediately after, Ye Xin, appearing to recall something, cautiously asked Lin Qian.
Seeing Ye Xin’s careful demeanor, Lin Qian shook his head amusingly, "Xinxin, you don’t need to be nervous. Just ask. What can’t we talk about between us?"
"Some days ago, I don’t know who, but someone had used a Spell to probe me. I managed to counterattack."
"However, the person reacted quickly. Before the connection was severed, I saw a vision."
"My father was imprisoned in a water dungeon, covered in injuries, and I don’t know what had happened. Besides, I suspect my parents’ backgrounds are not simple."
As he spoke, Lin Qian shared with Ye Xin about the ruins outside Bashan City and how his father had pierced through a mountain wall with a spear.
"If your aunt and uncle are truly such extraordinary figures, they would definitely be proud to see how powerful you’ve become now," Ye Xin consoled Lin Qian.
"Therefore, I will become stronger as soon as possible and find them," Lin Qian stated, his expression unwaveringly determined. "If I find out who dared treat my parents this way, I will tear them to pieces."
Ye Xin grasped Lin Qian’s hand, resolutely saying, "I will also train hard to accompany you in saving your aunt and uncle."
"Let’s not discuss this for now. Since we haven’t found much going forward and there’s plenty of Spiritual Energy here, let’s stay in this place for now," Lin Qian suggested as he surveyed the surroundings.
After modifying the Array, it gathered an intensely rich concentration of nature’s spiritual energy, making it highly suitable for cultivation.
"Stay here to cultivate?"
At Ye Xin’s curious inquiry, Lin Qian waved his hand, "Not exactly, because I’m starting the ’Wife Development Plan!’"
"Ah, what are you talking about?" Ye Xin blushed deeply at Lin Qian’s words, embarrassedly lowering her head.
Lin Qian chuckled softly, waving his hand forward, and a small courtyard that he had moved from the Huaxia Empire materialized in front of them.
"This is!" Seeing the courtyard suddenly appear, Ye Xin was utterly surprised.
This small courtyard was unmistakably similar to the one Lin Qian lived in at the Ye family’s residence.
Back in the days when Lin Qian’s parents had left and he was all alone, it had often been Ye Xin who came to his courtyard to keep him company through those lonely times.
Their relationship had also grown from those moments.
Before Ye Xin could react, Lin Qian stepped forward, scooped her up around her waist, and walked towards the courtyard.
"What are you doing, put me down." Ye Xin’s face flushed with embarrassment as she lightly punched his chest.
"The ’Wife Development Plan’ is absolutely happening, Xinxin, just stop resisting, haha," Lin Qian, holding Ye Xin, continued to laugh as they approached the small courtyard.
Eventually, Ye Xin could only helplessly wrap her arms around Lin Qian’s neck, hanging her head low, unable to look at him.
