Opening the door, Qin Yi saw Wu Di and Wu Chong Shui standing outside and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Wu Di sized up Qin Yi and said, "You're the one who saved my daughter!"
Hearing this, a look of realization dawned on Qin Yi's face, and he said, "You're her father!"
"That's right, I am Yao'er's father, and also the head of the Wu family, Wu Di..." Wu Di introduced himself.
Only at this moment did Qin Yi learn the name of the woman in white, who was Wu Yao.
"Can I come in, and can we talk properly?" Wu Di asked.
To this, Qin Yi refused without hesitation: "No!" Han Xin was still in the room, and it wouldn't be appropriate for the two of them to enter.
"Qin Yi, who is it?" Han Xin's voice came from inside the room.
"It's the dad of the girl I saved this afternoon!" Qin Yi replied.
Wu Di and Wu Chong Shui heard this and understood.
Then, Wu Di said, "It's a bit late today. If it's inconvenient for you, young brother, then we'll talk tomorrow!"
"Okay, we'll talk about anything tomorrow!" Qin Yi responded and made a move to close the door.
As he was halfway through closing it, Wu Di said again, "Young brother, I'll come find you tomorrow. I'd like to invite you to my home. You saved Yao'er, and we must have an opportunity to thank you!"
Qin Yi had originally wanted to refuse. His main purpose for coming to Taiwan Island this time was to travel with Han Xin. Going to their home would delay his plans. Moreover, if he went, what would happen to Han Xin? Should he take her with him or not?
But Qin Yi immediately thought about it and agreed. Because, from his previous conversation with Wu Yao and the middle-aged man, he had learned that the Wu family was not only a martial arts force but also seemed to be proficient in formations! Since his release from prison, he had never encountered any martial artists or martial arts forces who knew formations. The Wu family was the first. Therefore, since they had invited him, he decided to go and see.
"Alright, then we won't disturb your rest, young brother. See you tomorrow!" Wu Di left with Wu Chong Shui.
As soon as they walked out of the hotel, Wu Di received a call from Wu Yao, who told him that the Spirit Pearl was lost. Wu Di's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his expression darkened.
After he hung up the phone, Wu Chong Shui asked, "Family Head, what happened?"
"The Spirit Pearl is gone!" Wu Di replied.
"What!" Wu Chong Shui exclaimed. The Spirit Pearl was a treasure of the Wu family, not only valuable but also of great significance to the Wu family.
Then, Wu Di turned back to look at the hotel, his eyes thoughtful as he said, "We won't go back tonight. We'll stay here!"
Hearing this, Wu Chong Shui understood something and blurted out, "Family Head, you think the loss of the Spirit Pearl is related to him, and you're worried he'll run away???"
Wu Di did not speak. However, his silence implied acquiescence. Thus, neither Wu Di nor Wu Chong Shui hurried back. They booked rooms at the Cui Can Hotel and stayed there. That night, at Wu Di's instruction, Wu Chong Shui did not rest at all. He secretly kept watch on Qin Yi and Han Xin's room, preventing Qin Yi from escaping.
The next day.
Just after seven in the morning, Qin Yi and Han Xin were woken by a knock on the door. Qin Yi opened the door and, without any surprise, saw Wu Di and Wu Chong Shui. Qin Yi couldn't help but say speechlessly, "Even if I agreed to visit your house, you didn't have to come so early!"
Wu Di looked at Qin Yi's sleepy appearance and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I thought you were already up so I..."
"Never mind, you two wait outside for a bit. I'll get ready and come out!" Qin Yi closed the door.
After tidying up, Qin Yi asked Han Xin if she wanted to go to the Wu family with him. She thought about it and refused. Han Xin felt that Wu Di's invitation to Qin Yi was mainly to thank him for saving Wu Yao, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go. Besides, she hadn't been invited! Moreover, Han Xin herself was not interested. She'd rather explore Taiwan Island than go to the Wu family with Qin Yi.
Therefore, Qin Yi went to the Wu family alone with Wu Di and Wu Chong Shui. When Qin Yi arrived at the Wu family, he was quite surprised to find that the Wu family resided on a small island. Qin Yi also discovered traces of formations in many places on the island. From these traces, Qin Yi judged that there were not only spirit-gathering formations but also defensive and offensive formations! Although Qin Yi faintly felt from the traces that these formations were not very advanced, he was able to confirm that the Wu family was indeed a martial arts family skilled in setting up formations.
Qin Yi followed the two of them directly to the villa in the center of the island. As soon as they stepped through the villa gate, Wu Yao came out to greet them: "Dad, you're back!" When she saw Qin Yi, a flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes. After a night of rest, Wu Yao's injuries had recovered considerably. Although she was still wearing a veil, Qin Yi could clearly feel that her complexion had improved significantly.
Wu Di reached out and patted Wu Yao's head affectionately, saying, "Yao'er, why aren't you resting in your room? Why did you come out?"
Wu Chong Shui also said, "Yes, Miss, you are injured and should be resting properly!"
Wu Yao said, "Dad, Uncle Shui, don't worry. My injuries are basically healed!"
Hearing this, the two of them looked at Wu Yao, felt her spirit and energy, and found that she was indeed fine, which surprised them. They were amazed at how quickly Wu Yao's injuries had healed! In fact, let alone the two of them, even Wu Yao herself was surprised at how quickly she had recovered, healing in just one night. In her memory, she had been hit by a masked man's palm on her back, and she had been sent flying and vomiting blood. Her injuries were clearly very severe! Only Qin Yi looked at Wu Yao without surprise, but with an expression of it being as it should be. This was because he had treated her last night, and he had used the Ten Revolutions Life-Returning Needle technique when treating her. The Ten Revolutions Life-Returning Needle technique could even save the dead, let alone some injuries!
After speaking with Wu Di and Wu Chong Shui, Wu Yao walked over to Qin Yi and was about to say something. Unexpectedly, before she could utter a word, a Wu family member ran over to report.
"Family Head, the culprit who attacked the young lady has been caught!"
With a swoosh.
In an instant, Wu Di, the other two, and Qin Yi all reflexively turned their heads to look at the Wu family member. Wu Di asked excitedly, "Where???"
"It was the people from Qian Zhu Sect who caught him..." the family member replied. "The Young Master of Qian Zhu Sect personally brought the culprit over. He has just landed and will be here soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people could be seen walking towards the villa from a distance. The leader of the group was a handsome young man with a sunny smile. Before he even got close, seeing Wu Di and Wu Yao at the door, he couldn't help but wave and call out, "Uncle Wu, Xiao Yao!"
