406: Take control of a smoking girl?

Ding dong!

Yan Qiushui pressed the doorbell, and a crisp ring echoed.

A moment later, the door opened, and Illusion Mirror Clone smiled without a hint of surprise:

"President Yan, please come in!"

Yan Qiushui nodded and stepped into the room.

Although Jiang Fan's main body was not here, Yan Qiushui knew that the Soul Division Avatar Technique allowed the Clone and the main body to share information.

Therefore, discussing matters with Jiang Fan's Clone was the same.

"President Yan, would you like coffee or tea?"

"Coffee."

Illusion Mirror Clone brewed a cup of coffee and handed it to Yan Qiushui:

"President, what can I do for you?"

Yan Qiushui took the coffee cup and stirred the dark liquid with a stirring rod:

"You saw the news on the hot search, what do you think?"

Illusion Mirror Clone sat down on the sofa opposite Yan Qiushui, thought for a moment, and said:

"Things are not as simple as they appear; the information in the article is half-true, half-false, and more like a setup by someone with an agenda.

If the Floating Ghost Island Forbidden Ground had no risks, how could such a good thing be publicly spread?

If the person behind this is exploiting people's greed, it might be a disaster for the Martial Artists attending."

Illusion Mirror Clone had also noticed this news early on.

At this particular time, two Forbidden Grounds, Dragonfall Canyon and Floating Ghost Island, simultaneously showed abnormal conditions, which was clearly not normal.

The Dark Night Evil God coveted the crystal ore veins brought into Dragonfall Canyon, and now such news about Floating Ghost Island was exposed.

He always felt there was some connection between these two matters.

His intuition told him that this matter was inextricably linked to the Dark Night Evil God.

If Floating Ghost Island had such an Opportunity, the Dark Night Evil God would surely have gotten there first; with his methods, how could it become widely known?

There was likely some shady business behind this.

Yan Qiushui's delicate brows furrowed; after taking a sip of coffee, she probed:

"Your meaning... is that someone is deliberately luring everyone there to achieve some ulterior motive?

What exactly is his purpose?

To use these people as cannon fodder and reap the benefits?

Or does he need to use everyone's power to find something?"

"Both are possible. But I'm more worried about another situation..."

Illusion Mirror Clone raised an eyebrow,

"The opponent's target is the people going to seek Treasure Trove; the news is just bait."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qiushui's chest heaved, and the jade hand holding the cup handle suddenly trembled:

"If that's truly the case, then things are serious..."

Illusion Mirror Clone nodded, reminding her:

"It's best to have some countermeasures; we can't control other countries, but we should try to remind Dragon Country citizens to guard against risks."

Just then, Illusion Mirror Clone's heart stirred, and he suddenly felt something.

He only felt a vast pressure suddenly emanate from his body, rapidly sweeping through the entire room.

Did the main body have another Breakthrough?

He had only entered the Middle Stage Martial God two days ago, and now he had broken through to the Late-stage Martial God.

This divine spring is indeed Heaven-Defying.

The speed of Cultivation is faster than a rocket!

Crash!

The coffee cup in Yan Qiushui's hand fell to the floor.

The dark coffee quickly spread across the ground.

"Late-stage Martial God!!!"

Yan Qiushui looked at the young man opposite her with a horrified, disbelieving expression.

Because Illusion Mirror Clone's aura was well hidden, Yan Qiushui hadn't even noticed that he had already broken through to the Middle Stage Martial God.

It wasn't until the vast pressure from Jiang Fan's body uncontrollably overflowed that she realized the young man opposite her was already a Late-stage Martial God.

Nonsense, isn't this Realm improvement a bit too unreasonable?

Illusion Mirror Clone smiled slightly:

"Just lucky, just lucky."

Yan Qiushui: "......"

......

Regarding the rumors of Floating Ghost Island, the Dragon Country Martial Gods, after a meeting and discussion, quickly reacted.

First, they blocked all related news about the Floating Ghost Island Treasure Trove across the entire network, and then the Martial Alliance issued an internal notice, requiring all registered Grandmasters and above to attend a week-long closed-door meeting.

Leave was prohibited from the meeting, otherwise, they would be removed from the Martial Alliance.

As for the Martial Artists stranded in the wilderness area without signal, the Martial Alliance officials were not worried.

Since there was no signal, they most likely wouldn't know about the Floating Ghost Island news.

However, to be on the safe side, the officials also issued an order to the airport.

Strict identity verification would be conducted for all passengers on flights to the Taromon Islands, to prevent anyone from secretly going there out of stubbornness.

Because the Taromon Islands, where Floating Ghost Island is located, are deep in the Great Ocean, far from the continental plate.

Therefore, even if one wanted to go, most people would choose direct flights.

However, just as Illusion Mirror Clone thought the matter had subsided, a phone call disturbed his peace.

"What did you say? Liu Li is missing?"

Illusion Mirror Clone frowned; Liu Bingbing's cousin truly caused him trouble,

"What exactly happened?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Bingbing's anxious voice sounded:

"He didn't attend class yesterday. I thought he went to the wilderness area for a mission, so I didn't think much of it.

Who knew that their teacher just found me, and only then did I realize that the four people in their dorm booked tickets to the Taromon Islands yesterday..."

"Don't worry, I'll handle this."

After comforting Liu Bingbing, Jiang Fan hung up the phone.

It seems he would have to make a trip himself.

Just as well, he could go see who was causing trouble.

Kyoto International Airport.

Outside the departure hall, gentlemen in suits were puffing away on cigarettes.

At this moment, a young couple, hand in hand, walked towards the waiting hall.

Suddenly, the chestnut-haired woman stopped, skillfully pulling out an exquisite wooden cigar box from her handbag.

Opening the box, the woman took out a cigar from it.

Seeing this, the man beside her naturally took the cigar from the woman's hand and lit it, in the woman's astonished gaze.

The man elegantly took a puff, and smiled warmly at the woman:

"My dear, you are so thoughtful."

"You have to act the part, to avoid revealing any flaws..."

The man's voice transmission echoed in the woman's mind.

"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll be uncomfortable on the plane later?"

The woman's expression softened considerably, and she forced out a smile.

Then, her slender jade hand put the cigar box back into her bag, re-linked arms with the man, and silently pinched the man's forearm.

"I'll have to be on the plane for six or seven hours later, how do you expect me to hold it in?"

The woman transmitted with resentment.

The man grimaced:

"Who doesn't know that Kengqiang Martial God likes to smoke cigars? Just bear with it.

Later, in the VIP smoking room during the layover, there should be no one..."

The two were Jiang Fan and Yan Qiushui, who had changed their appearances.

Originally, Jiang Fan just wanted to say hello to Yan Qiushui, but unexpectedly, Yan Qiushui decided to go to the Taromon Islands with him.

There was no other way, Jiang Fan reluctantly agreed.

Due to their special identities and the Taromon Islands being Lighthouse Country territory, the two had to forge identities and pretend to be a young couple on vacation.

Jiang Fan endured the discomfort of the smoke entering his throat, and glanced at Yan Qiushui beside him.

Her watery eyes were eagerly staring at the cigar in his mouth.

And surprisingly, although Yan Qiushui was much older than Jiang Fan, her skin was like snow, and with a simple disguise, she was no different from a young girl.

However, compared to a young girl, she had an added charm and maturity.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

Indeed, when the length of life is extended, age has lost its meaning.

Jiang Fan took a deep puff of the cigar in his hand and blew the smoke ring onto Yan Qiushui's face.

Then, he threw away the half-smoked cigar and, under Yan Qiushui's murderous gaze, dragged her hand into the departure hall.

Heh heh, just a nicotine-addicted girl, I can still handle you!
