After listening to her explanation, both Ye Yun and Xing Wu wore strange expressions.
"You were actually taken away by the Tianlan Domain?"
This name was more than familiar to Ye Yun and the others.
Seeing Ye Yun's expression, Chen Yan'er seemed a little puzzled.
"What's wrong? Could it be that you know each other?"
"It's not about knowing each other or not..."
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh and cry as he recounted the grievances he had with the Tianlan Domain not long ago.
Of course, he also mentioned that he was now in charge of the Tianlan Domain.
After hearing this, Chen Yan'er was also stunned.
"Wow, so many things happened. It's good that I didn't believe them!"
At the same time, she felt incredibly fortunate.
It was a good thing she had escaped earlier.
Otherwise, if she had truly stood on Ye Yun's side, who knew what might have happened!
"Yes, your luck is indeed very good," Ye Yun said with a faint smile.
"In any case, it's good that you're back safe and sound. I was quite worried about you before."
He had even considered taking her as a disciple back then, but was unexpectedly rejected.
Ye Yun quite liked, or rather, admired her as a person.
At this moment, Chen Yan'er paused and then looked at Ye Yun, asking,
"By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you. Can we have a private chat?"
"Uh, sure..." Ye Yun nodded.
Hong Ling, who was by his side, was quite tactful and said with a smile,
"If you want to chat, I can take you to the council hall. No one will disturb you there."
"Thank you then."
However, before they left, someone else had something to say.
Gongsun Chang, who had been listening quietly to Ye Yun and the others' conversation, seeing that they were about to disperse, quickly asked,
"Um, Princess Hong Ling, what about our merchant guild's cargo..."
His question reminded Ye Yun, who realized he had indeed forgotten something.
"Oh right, Hong Ling, why did you intercept their cargo?"
Hearing this, Hong Ling glanced at Gongsun Chang and snorted.
"Speaking of which, don't be so arrogant next time. Don't think you can roam freely in this Great Thousand World just because you have protection."
Her words made Ye Yun quite curious, and after some inquiry, he learned the story.
It turned out that Gongsun Chang, accustomed to the protection of the Tianlan Domain, had been rude to a patrol team from the Yao Shen Domain when he inadvertently entered its vicinity. This almost escalated into a physical conflict, resulting in both the people and the cargo nearly being seized.
It was then that Hong Ling, thinking of using them to invite Ye Yun over, had let them go.
After understanding the situation, Ye Yun looked at Gongsun Chang with a reprimanding tone.
"President Gongsun, if that's really how it happened, then it's your fault, isn't it?"
This guy had actually been hiding something from him.
Given the circumstances, if the Yao Shen Domain had insisted on detaining the cargo, it would have been difficult for him to ask for help.
Gongsun Chang looked embarrassed and quickly bowed.
"This... I know I was wrong. This will never happen again."
Fortunately, Hong Ling was not someone who dwelled on such matters. She merely snorted and said,
"This is the last time. This time, for the sake of Star Lord Ye, I'll let it slide."
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you, Princess Hong Ling!"
Hearing that the matter was settled, Gongsun Chang quickly expressed his gratitude to Hong Ling.
However, Hong Ling simply said,
"You should be thanking Star Lord Ye. If it weren't for him, this matter wouldn't have been so easily resolved."
Although the Yao Shen Domain was reclusive, it did not mean they had no pride.
Being provoked on their own territory and nearly getting into a fight, it would be difficult to let it pass so easily!
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Chang also quickly bowed to Ye Yun.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Star Lord Ye. I am extremely grateful!"
"Alright, be more careful next time." Ye Yun looked at him and snorted, "The era of the Tianlan Domain is over. If you cause trouble again by provoking others, don't blame me."
After all, one never knew when the other party might offend someone they shouldn't.
Gongsun Chang repeatedly assured him, "Don't worry! This will never happen again!"
He had truly learned his lesson this time. There were indeed many powerful beings in this Great Thousand World that he could not afford to offend...
"You can go back now. We will send someone to discuss the details of our cooperation with you later."
"Yes, yes, yes. Then I won't disturb you any longer!"
Gongsun Chang chuckled nervously and dared not delay any further, hurrying away.
On one hand, Ye Yun and the others exerted too much pressure on him.
On the other hand, the important cargo he was transporting was also running out of time.
After he left, Hong Ling smiled again and said to Ye Yun,
"Alright, Star Lord Ye, please come this way..."
The so-called council hall was located not far from Hong Ling's palace.
The entire hall was constructed from materials with extremely strong isolation properties.
Even beings at the level of Creation Gods could not easily discern what was being discussed inside from the outside.
This place was usually used for extremely important meetings of the Yao Shen Domain.
"You can talk about what you need to discuss inside. It's absolutely private," Hong Ling said with a smile to Ye Yun and Chen Yan'er.
"Okay, let's go in!" Chen Yan'er said to Ye Yun with a smile.
Ye Yun was somewhat helpless, not understanding what this little girl was up to.
"Alright, let's go." He sighed and was about to enter with Xing Wu when Chen Yan'er stopped him.
"Wait! Senior Xing Wu, please wait outside."
"Hm?" Xing Wu, who was stopped, raised an eyebrow and said,
"Little girl, what is it that you need to hide from me?"
As Ye Yun's wife, was there anything she couldn't know?
Chen Yan'er pursed her lips and looked at Ye Yun, saying,
"This... it might be a little secret between the two of us, so..."
As soon as she said this, Ye Yun felt Xing Wu's unfriendly gaze.
Ye Yun's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say,
"Hey, don't say things you shouldn't. What kind of little secret could there be between us?"
If outsiders heard this, they would think he and she were in some kind of relationship!
Chen Yan'er grabbed his hand and shook it, saying,
"Senior, please come with me. You'll know soon!"
This action made Ye Yun somewhat speechless. He couldn't help but look up at Xing Wu.
Xing Wu simply rolled her eyes at him and said calmly,
"Go ahead and chat. I'll wait outside."
"Okay!" Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Yan'er, saying,
"Can we go in now?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Yan'er nodded repeatedly.
Then they walked into the council hall side by side, and the door behind them closed.
Ye Yun sighed. Just as he looked at Chen Yan'er, intending to ask her what was going on, he saw her looking at him with blazing eyes.
"Um... Senior, have you heard of a place called Earth?"
