Chapter 174 Gone 2

"EH?" said Peng Ai. She looked at Meiying and Xie Rong to get confirmation and they both nodded.

"Whoa… small world…" said Peng Ai.

"Right? It's crazy how Meiying's teacher is Xie Rong's wife," said Wu Lang, still surprised about the news.

"By the way, where's Kenzhi? That was the first thing I was going to ask but I got to in dept into our conversation," asked Peng Ai.

"He had to leave in the middle of the battle. Sister Yu Yan had him do something at the Chu Palace before the auction is over due to the lack of security at that moment," said Xie Rong.

"He should be done now," said Meiying.

"That's good. The auction was just about to end a few minutes before Yu Yan arrived," said Peng Ai, sighing in relief.

"Anyway, heard any news about Wei Ru?" said Peng Ai.

"Yep. He surprising arrived to the house with Quan Yi Ying, the most unexpected thing honestly. I didn't think he would get it done so fast. It's so hard to track that boy down," said Meiying.

"He should be safe now. Min Fu-Han was taken down so he should have nothing to worry about," said Peng Ai. They were talking along as Meiying and Xie Rong look through the entire place.

"I don't know about that… I mean we did take him down… but might still be alive," said Meiying.

"Really?"

"Yu Yan asked us to not kill him," said Wu Lang.

"She said she wanted to keep 'playing,'" said Xie Rong.

"Of course she would say that."

"You should have seen her face. I have never seen her this excited... EVER," said Wu Lang.

"She kinda scared me for a moment," said Xie Rong.

The others gave a look at Xie Rong. They were in disbelief.

"...really?" said Meiying, Peng Ai and Wu Lang. They remember he always had this creepy laugh when he works on new experiments.

"...What?" asked Xie Rong, in surprised.

"How's the new experiment going?" asked Meiying.

"Great. I might be able to use it today. But the effects might be to large at the moment," said Xie Rong.

"Anyway, since they are not here lets-" said Meiying but Wu Lang put his hand up to stop her from talking.

"Someone is here," whispered Wu Lang.

They could hear loud footsteps rushing into the building. The four get ready to strike when someone opened the door. It was Wu Long Long.

"Sister?" said Wu Lang.

"Lang!" said Wu Long Long. She couldn't believe it. Her brother is really here. She honestly thought he died when she heard news of the Wang Empire defeating the Slave traders.

"I came to get you!" said Wu Lang. He ran to her and gave her a hug. She honestly thought she got abandoned by her brother again and tears of relief flowed down her face.

"I'm glad you're alive!" she said giving him a hug back. 'You came back! You actually came back for me!'

She was a little afraid her brother would never come back to her due to reasons of the past. But the sight of her brother relaxed all her muscles and calmed her mind.

"I'm sorry to interrupt…" said Xie Rong, a little impatient.

"And you are…?" asked Wu Long Long.

"I'm Xie Rong? Was also with you when the slave traders split up? Was there twin boys and their mother here not to long ago?" said Xie Rong.

"Yes but they escaped. More like disappeared and taken away. One second I felt their presence, the next... gone…" said Wu Long Long.

"Wait! That man! Min Fu-Han didn't come back here? He will any time soon because I told him they disappeared and he came back here to find them! He's going to come back any minute! We need to go-"

"It's okay. We defeated him," said Wu Lang, interrupting her.

"...You did?" said Wu Long Long.

"Yeah. We are fine... for now," said Wu Lang.

She sighed in relief before they offered her to come with them back to home base. Since Xie Rong and Meiying knows that the children and Zhao Xiu Mei got out of this mess, there was no point in staying any longer so they left.

They arrived at the house and Wu Lang introduced Wu Long Long to Lin Yu Yan. Wu Long Long was surprised that the slaves where here. The place was surprisingly had a warm atmosphere and everyone finally had a breather.

"Sister Yu Yan, this is my twin sister, Wu Long Long," said Wu Lang then turns to speak to his sister. "This is Lin Yu Yan. She was the one who saved all of us at the slave market in the Wang Empire."

"Thank you for saving my brother," said Wu Long Long, bowing down do Lin Yu Yan.

"No, It's okay. I only bought them to help me on something which Wu Lang did more then his share. But it's nice to meet you Wu Long Long," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Yu Yan, we still need to find them," said Xie Rong. He was getting impatient because he was so close to seeing them again.

"For sure... But they disappeared... who has the ability to do that?" said Meiying.

"They disappeared?" asked Lin Yu Yan.

Wu Long Long explained everything to Lin Yu Yan about the situation she was in with Min Fu-Han andthe strange disappearance of the mother and children.

"Is it the man that can teleport?" said Lin Yu Yan. "Remember when we arrived here? There was a man that appeared and disappeared. I felt a huge amount of energy being used right before his presence appeared and disappeared."

"Is that how the Emperor appeared on the third floor?" said Han Bingwen.

"I has to be," said Chu Yang. "When did my brother learn how to do that?"

"It could be," said Lin Yu Yan. "There was also someone running towards the direction of the auction when I arrived there."

"That's probably me going to inform Min Fu-Han about their disappearance," said Wu Long Long.

"But it can't be my brother. He was with us seconds before we felt the Sea King's spiritual energy," said Chu Yang.

"Which makes it impossible for him to be the one who took my wife and kids if he was with you guys before that," said Xie Rong.

"It has to be that guard that appeared at the gate when we arrived," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Then they are with the emperor?" said Meiying.

"I'm pretty sure," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Good… sigh, I didn't want them to be in danger again," said Xie Rong.

"How are we going to get them?" said Wu Lang.

"I mean, he is Chu Yang's brother," said Kenzhi.

"Well….." said Chu Yang explaining the conversation she had with her brother.

Then Wang Ping, Gu Xiang, Victoria, and Knight arrived at the house.

"Hey everyone," said Wang Ping. The mood was gloomy, especially Xie Rong who needs a reason to show up at the Chu Palace to find his family.

"I don't know what's going on but… I have a question for you, Lin Yu Yan," said Wang Ping. "How did you get the thousand year old red ginger?"

"Oh, right! I was wondering about that too! How did you get the red ginger?" asked Chu Yang, explaining to the rest of the crew that the last item being sold was the red ginger.

"I got it as a gift for saving the Wang Empire from your mother, Wang Ping," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Really?" said Wang Ping.

"Your mother only bought it because she wanted to piss off your younger brother and his mother. She told me she didn't have a need for it and gave it to me," said Lin Yu Yan.

"I see," said Wang Ping. The room became quiet once again.

"Anyway, I'm really hungry right now…" said Lin Yu Yan and her stomach started growling. Everyone heard her stomach growl and laughed. Lin Yu Yan was glad her stomach growl loosen up the mood.

"It's pretty late and I haven't had dinner…" said Wu Long Long.

"I really want pancakes!" said Silver.

"You read my mind!" said Lin Yu Yan, patting Silver on the head. She heads to the kitchen and Han Bingwen follows, as well as Silver and Kenzhi.

"What are 'pancakes'?" asked Wu Long Long, confused at the strange words being said.

"It's this weird dessert that Yu Yan created!" said Peng Ai.

"It's super sweet and you can put anything on it! It's like a flat bread but sweeter!" said Wu Lang.

"Yeah, you have to try it. It's the weirdest but most delicious thing in the world!" said Chu Yang.

"I feel like we always have pancakes after a fight," said Xie Rong. "It's like a tradition now."

"Haha! So true!" said Peng Ai.

Wu Long Long was surprised to hear that. She is even more surprised how well this group of people were able to smile after all the hardships they have been through. She looked at her brother laughing along with the others.

'I didn't think I would see that laugh ever again... It's been 6 years since we have been taken away and 2 years since we escaped. Is that pretty lady really such a person Wu Lang would rely on? I mean… he even calls her 'sister'...'thought Wu Long Long, feeling a little jealous.

"Sister Long Long? What is it?" said Wu Lang. He noticed how quiet she got.

"Nothing... It's nothing."
