Chapter 204 About the Fiery Sun Continent
“Please speak, young lady. My Fang family has some influence in the Yan Yang Continent, so finding someone shouldn’t be difficult.” The one who spoke was Fang Shao, the city lord of Lin Yang City, and his wife Luo Qiong nodded repeatedly beside him.
"My fiancé and I were separated by a spatial rift. I am new to your land and do not know where to look for him. I would be extremely grateful if I could enlist your help."
Lin Shushu originally wanted to search for her parents together, but considering her mother's enemies, she temporarily gave up the idea.
Hearing her words, everyone present was filled with admiration. Someone who could survive a spatial rift was truly remarkable.
"I wonder what the young lady's fiancé's name is, or if there's a portrait or anything like that. That would make the search more targeted," Fang Ruicheng asked.
“His name is Mo Ze,” Lin Shushu said after thinking for a moment. She took out a portrait she had drawn of Mo Ze from her spatial storage and handed it to Fang Ruicheng. “This is him.”
"Acheng, arrange for someone to handle this matter right now. You must find the person as soon as possible," Fang Shao instructed his son.
"Alright, don't worry, young lady. As long as he's on the Yan Yang Continent, we'll get news of him very soon."
Watching Fang Ruicheng's departing figure, Lin Shushu felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected the Fang family to be so efficient.
Now that the matter was settled, Lin Shushu took her leave, but was persuaded to stay by the Fang family members present.
"Why don't you stay at my residence for now, young lady? We can let you know when we find someone," Fang Shao suggested.
One reason he was so enthusiastic was, of course, gratitude. Another reason was that he sensed the same spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Lin Shushu as he did, indicating that her strength was comparable to his own.
Such a young Nascent Soul expert deserves to be befriended; he might be a valuable asset in the future!
“Yes, young lady, please stay here for now. You saved my child, and I haven’t even thanked you properly yet. I feel terrible that you’re leaving like this,” Fang Siya, who was holding her son, also advised.
"How about this, young lady, stay for a few days. By then, you should have heard news about your fiancé, and we can invite him to come and reunite with you," Luo Qiong added, joining in the persuasion.
The family's hospitality was genuine. Considering that she was unfamiliar with the area, staying here would actually make it easier for her to inquire about things, Lin Shushu finally nodded in agreement.
The Fang family arranged a small, independent courtyard for her and even wanted to assign her servants, but she refused.
For the next two days, Fang Siya brought her son to see Lin Shushu every day. Lin Shushu finally learned the little guy's name: Qi Yu'an, nicknamed An'an.
At this moment, An'an was sucking her fingers in Lin Shushu's arms, looking at Lin Shushu with what seemed like a smile. This sight made her mother, who was standing next to her, feel a little jealous.
"Shushu, I've really wasted my time raising this kid. He's never been this well-behaved before. How come he's an exception when he's with you?"
Although it was a joke, Lin Shushu didn't know how to respond, so she just smiled and remained silent.
"By the way, Shushu, since you're not from the Yan Yang Continent, are you from the Qing Yun Continent? Or the Xuan Tian Continent?" After spending two days together, Fang Siya felt that the two had developed a certain relationship, so she inquired about Lin Shushu's background.
Upon hearing "Qingyun Continent," Lin Shushu's heart stirred. She whispered those four words to herself. If she remembered correctly, Cangwu came from Qingyun Continent.
Although her voice was soft, Fang Siya still heard it. She automatically assumed that Lin Shushu was answering her, so she showed a knowing look.
Of the three continents, Qingyun Continent is the most mysterious. It is said that there are not only humans, demons, and gods there, but the gods have not appeared in the world for many years and have now become legends.
Because of its unique location, both the human and demon races there are stronger than those on the other two continents.
Fang Siya couldn't discern Lin Shushu's cultivation level either, indicating that Lin Shushu's strength was above her own. Now that she heard Lin Shushu came from the Qingyun Continent, it made sense why her strength was so high.
Lin Shushu knew she had misunderstood. She originally wanted to explain that she was not from the Qingyun Continent, but then she thought that if she denied it, how could she explain that she came from another dimension?
So Lin Shushu decided to accept the misunderstanding and go along with it. Anyway, she would definitely go to Qingyun Continent in the future, so let the misunderstanding be.
"Can you tell me about the Yan Yang Continent?" Since she came from another continent, it's not hard to understand why she was curious about things happening on her homeland. Lin Shushu openly inquired about the news.
"Of course, what does Shushu want to know?" Fang Siya readily agreed.
"For example, the distribution of power, legendary figures, anecdotes, and the like," Lin Shushu roughly outlined the scope.
Fang Siya organized her thoughts and gave a general overview of what she knew.
Lin Shushu finally gained a general understanding of the Yan Yang Continent. There are countless forces of all sizes scattered here, but only a few are truly renowned. Among them, the top three are the Three Sects, Four Gates, and Five Cities.
The three sects are Yan Yang Sect, Tian Yuan Sect, and Qing Xuan Sect. It is said that each sect has a thousand-year heritage, profound foundation, and numerous powerful figures. They control many rare resources such as spirit mines and secret realms, making them holy lands that countless cultivators yearn for.
The four sects, namely Hongyin Sect, Changtian Sect, Jinyu Sect, and Hunyuan Sect, are renowned for their unique cultivation methods, magical formations, exquisite weapon-forging techniques, or mysterious elixirs. Each has its own expertise and its power should not be underestimated. They sometimes cooperate with the three sects and sometimes compete with them.
The five cities are Linyang City, Shuanghua City, Qingmu City, Dongling City, and Mingsha City. As the five core cities of the Yanyang Continent, they are not only densely populated and commercially prosperous, but also places where various forces gather and exchange ideas.
On the continent of Yanyang, the struggle for resources has never ceased, and the appearance of every rare item will unleash a bloody storm.
Fang Siya's husband is Qi Ting, the young city lord of Shuanghua City, one of the five cities. Speaking of Shuanghua City, a flash of hatred crossed her eyes. The pursuit and killing she suffered while returning to her parents' home was inextricably linked to certain individuals, and once the truth was revealed, she would never let them off the hook.
Lin Shushu clearly saw the strange look in her eyes, but it was someone else's private matter, and she wouldn't interfere.
"Speaking of which, there has always been a legend on the Yan Yang Continent that there is an ancient ruin in a certain place, containing countless high-level cultivation techniques and rare treasures, but no one has ever found it over the years."
Lin Shushu's interest was piqued. "Since no one has ever found it, how can we be sure if the ruins are real or not?"
"It turns out that everyone just thought it was a legend, but decades ago there was a rumor that the Yuan family in Dongling City had a map of that ruin." Fang Siya said with a gossipy look on her face, not noticing the strange look that flashed across Lin Shushu's face when she heard about the Yuan family.
The Yuan family? Could this be the Yuan family that Yuan Qing belongs to? If so, why did Yuan Qing end up in the Olay Empire?
Before Lin Shushu could figure out the connection, Fang Siya said, "Actually, having a map isn't a good thing. The Yuan family was wiped out because of it."
"Bang!" Lin Shushu felt as if her heart had been struck by something, and she had a bad feeling.
