Chapter 1411: Chapter 1411: Journey to the Elf Clan

Yun Mengyao nodded, the amount of these gold coin resources is indeed too large, moving them is truly not easy.

"By the way, don’t you have a Storage Ring?"

Qin Yi smiled wryly: "The space in the Storage Ring is limited, can’t fit them at all."

Yun Mengyao pondered and said: "I think the Sin City Bank is quite trustworthy, how about we take the important things like Earth Spirit Stones and herbs, and leave the gold coins here for now to retrieve later?"

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, it seemed it could only be this way.

The two came out of the secret room and found Wang Hai to convey Yun Mengyao’s idea.

Wang Hai laughed: "Of course, no problem, storing gold coins here can make more money. Also, safety is definitely not an issue. Young Master Qin can come to take money whenever needed."

In the end, Qin Yi only took the Earth Spirit Stones and other important resources, while the gold coins were deposited in the Sin City Bank.

...

The group stayed in Sin City for a day, and left the next day to escort Hua Nian and Little Leaf home.

Originally, Qin Yi planned to let Jing Wuyan and Xiaoxi go back first. But Jing Wuyan insisted on tagging along, so Qin Yi had to agree.

Qin Yi knew that he would return to Sin City eventually. Firstly, his money was stored here. Secondly, things with Sword Sect were still unresolved.

As the group wandered and explored, after four or five days, they finally approached the Elf Clan.

"I never imagined the Elf Clan would be within the Northern Central State, no one has ever known.

Jing Wuyan sat by the fire, poking a fish with a branch as he roasted it, speaking casually.

Yin Qianqian said: "It’s said the Elf Clan is nature’s favorite, these elves are inherently kind, living in the forest, away from worldly issues, very few know where they actually live."

Qin Yi handed an apple to Little Leaf and Hua Nian, casually saying: "Hua Nian, have any outsiders ever visited your Elf Clan?"

Hua Nian shook her head slightly, "I’ve grown up in the clan and have never seen outsiders."

Qin Yi smiled wryly: "Looks like we might not be able to enter the Elf Clan."

"Little Leaf, why aren’t you eating? Is it not to your taste?" Qin Yi noticed Little Leaf looking gloomy, usually fond of apples but now holding one near her mouth without biting, her cute face scrunched like a bun.

Little Leaf pouted at Qin Yi, "Big brother, if you send Little Leaf home, you’re leaving, right?"

Qin Yi paused a moment, knowing Little Leaf couldn’t bear to part with him. He couldn’t bear to part with Little Leaf, either, but they weren’t on the same path, he had many things to attend to, separation was inevitable.

Qin Yi patted her little head, "Don’t worry, big brother won’t leave for now. I’ll play with Little Leaf for a few days before leaving."

"But big brother is still leaving." Little Leaf’s gem-like eyes turned red, looking ready to cry.

Qin Yi hurriedly held her close, "Little Leaf, even if big brother leaves, he’ll come back to see you when he has time."

"Really?" Little Leaf looked at Qin Yi with hope.

Qin Yi nodded with a smile. Although he knew well, once parted, meeting again was uncertain.

After the group was full, they rested for a while and continued on their journey.

Led by Hua Nian, they traversed deep mountains and forests.

The next day, they finally arrived at the place.

Jing Wuyan exclaimed: "So the Elf Clan lives in the Mist Forest."

Qin Yi looked at him.

Jing Wuyan explained: "The Mist Forest is vast, filled with dense trees, shrouded in fog year-round, no matter the cultivation level, it’s easy to get lost inside, hence few venture inside."

Qin Yi looked up, the dense jungle indeed enveloped in thick fog, visibility no more than five meters.

"Let’s go."

The group entered the dense forest.

But, Qin Yi was surprised to find that Hua Nian and Little Leaf’s sight was unaffected at all. Perhaps they had always lived in such a place, or it was related to their blue eyes.

However, the thick fog didn’t affect Qin Yi either, he was currently in a blind state, with Divine Thought covering a thousand meters around, everything within earshot could not escape him.

Hua Nian led the way initially but suddenly stopped.

Qin Yi asked: "What’s wrong, have we arrived?"

Hua Nian looked at Qin Yi and said sheepishly: "I, I’m lost."

Everyone stared at her in surprise.

Qin Yi chuckled, "It’s normal for Hua Nian and Little Leaf to be unfamiliar with the way since it’s their first time leaving the Elf Clan. No worries, let’s search."

In the end, the group spent a day searching the dense forest, yet couldn’t find the Elf Clan.

Qin Yi flew into the air, looking down, but the Mist Forest was too vast, stretching endlessly with the fog covering all, nothing was seen.

Thankfully, the forest was abundant with food, not worrying about hunger.

Jing Wuyan and others occasionally glanced at Qin Yi, twitching their mouths, trying hard not to laugh.

Qin Yi looked helpless.

Because Little Leaf seemed to love picking flowers, whenever she saw pretty wildflowers, she’d pick them and stick them on Qin Yi’s head, in the seams of his clothes.

Qin Yi now looked as if he was wearing a floral dress, quite comical.

It was the first time everyone saw Qin Yi have no temper with a child, each couldn’t help but secretly laugh.

Yun Mengyao teased, "A father’s love is indeed like a mountain, I never thought Young Master Qin could be so gentle."

Little Leaf flapped her wings, flew around Qin Yi, occasionally sticking colorful little wildflowers into Qin Yi’s hair until they almost couldn’t fit.

Everyone couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Jing Wuyan chuckled: "I never thought Brother Qin had such a gentle side. Ever since I knew Brother Qin, you’ve challenged the whole Sword Sect, destroyed Sin Tower, dominating fiercely, it’s a complete contrast now."

Qin Yi caught Little Leaf, playfully pinching her little cheek, he laughed and said: "You’ll understand when you have a child with Miss Xiaoxi."

Qin Yi’s words made Xiaoxi’s face blush furiously, and Jing Wuyan was a bit embarrassed too.

"Speaking of, if we go to Netherworld Hall, can we drink the wedding wine of you and Miss Xiaoxi?" Qin Yi asked with a smile.

Jing Wuyan grimaced, looking quite helpless, "I’m really troubled by this."

"Why?"

"Because of Xiaoxi’s background, I’ve never thought Xiaoxi’s background was a problem. Yet the old guys at Netherworld Hall are so old-fashioned. They think Xiaoxi’s status is low, only suitable as a concubine. You know, being a concubine can’t hold a wedding, not allowed through the main gate, can only be carried through a side gate to be considered married."

Qin Yi paused a moment, realizing that in every world, the notion of matching societal norms and hierarchies existed, dividing people into ranks.

Qin Yi looked at Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi shyly lowered her head.

Qin Yi teasingly said: "Miss Xiaoxi, should I find you another young talent? Following Wuyan may not have a future, only ending as a concubine."

Jing Wuyan froze, looking aggrieved, "Brother Qin, don’t instigate, I’ve never intended for Xiaoxi to be my concubine."
