Chapter 334
“You…”
“Quan Quan, don’t rush,” Nangong Yan said, reaching out to gently pat her head. “Let Second Brother have a good look at you first.”
Huang Quan suppressed her urge to scold him and let him look.
Look as much as he wanted!
If he didn’t explain things clearly after that, he shouldn’t blame her for hitting even her brother!
“When Second Brother left, Quan Quan was still a little girl. Now, you’ve grown up into a young lady,” Nangong Yan said. “You’ve also become quite formidable.”
“You’ve been gone for three years, so of course, you wouldn’t know how much I’ve changed!” Huang Quan retorted.
Though they weren’t truly siblings and Nangong Yan’s real sister was dead, Huang Quan couldn’t help but feel angry.
“Quan Quan, I’m sorry,” Nangong Yan said, noticing her distressed expression and feeling pained himself. “I’ve been gone for three years and couldn’t be there to watch you grow up. That’s my regret.”
“But at the time, Second Brother had no choice,” Nangong Yan continued. “Our parents had been missing for a long time, and Big Brother and I couldn’t rest easy. We had to go looking for them.”
Huang Quan covered her eyes with her hand for a moment before lowering it, looking at him and asking, “Did you find them?”
“This is a long story,” Nangong Yan said. “Sit down, and Second Brother will tell you everything.”
Huang Quan nodded, then turned to Emperor Qin and the Grand Priest. “Join us.”
Nangong Yan, clearly aware of their identities, said, “Since Quan Quan says so, then let’s all talk together.”
As he said this, Nangong Yan’s gaze lingered on Emperor Qin for a while.
After a moment, Nangong Yan thought to himself, “Quan Quan has excellent taste.”
Since the person they were about to capture was someone familiar, and they needed to discuss past events, they wouldn’t be able to leave immediately. Emperor Qin contacted Yongzhou and Yongye, asking them to come inside.
At the same time, Emperor Qin removed the barrier.
Nangong Yan led them to the guest room and said, “Please, make yourselves comfortable. I’ll go prepare some tea for you.”
Huang Quan said, “We don’t need tea. Second Brother, please sit down.”
If he went to make tea, and he ran away, she’d have to catch him again.
Nangong Yan noticed her thoughts and smiled helplessly. “Quan Quan, Second Brother won’t run away.”
Before, when his identity wasn’t revealed, running away was a possibility. Now that she knew it was him, running away would mean failing as a brother in her eyes.
Huang Quan remained silent, staring directly at him.
Nangong Yan, far from being upset, was actually pleased. Over the years, even though he knew where Quan Quan and A Mian were, he couldn’t visit them. Nangong Yan missed them greatly.
“Quan Quan,” Nangong Yan said, “I heard there were some issues at A Mian’s training ground. How is A Mian?”
“A Mian is fine.”
Nangong Yan nodded, not saying anything further.
After a while, Yongzhou and Yongye arrived with Jing Chen and Feng Jiu Yuan.
When Feng Jiu Yuan and Jing Chen entered the room and saw the situation, they were quite surprised.
Weren’t they here to capture someone?
Why was everyone just sitting around?
Noticing their confusion, Huang Quan explained, “This is my Second Brother, Nangong Yan.”
The four of them were stunned.
After their initial surprise came confusion.
What was going on?
The person behind Nangong Qing Le was actually Huang Quan’s second brother?
What was the meaning of this?
“Everyone is here,” Huang Quan said to Nangong Yan. “Second Brother, you can start explaining.”
Nangong Yan nodded. “Let me begin with how Big Brother and I left home.”
Chapter 335
Nangong Yan said, “When our parents left, they instructed Big Brother and me to take good care of you and A Mian. So even though our parents never returned, we didn’t go searching for them.”
“However, three years ago, Big Brother had a recurring dream.” Nangong Yan touched the back of his left ear and continued, “Quan Quan, you know about Big Brother’s special ability.”
“I don’t have his unique ability, but since we’re identical twins with a strong connection, I also saw what he dreamed about.”
“In the dream, our parents were trapped somewhere, and Father was severely injured.”
“The dream repeated for three days, with the same scenes and people. Big Brother and I deduced that it was real, but we couldn’t pinpoint the exact location. The dream showed our parents clearly, but everything else was black and obscured.”
“Father and Mother were in trouble, so Big Brother decided to go find them.”
“At that time, Big Brother didn’t intend to take me with him because you and A Mian were only fourteen and twelve. If both of us left and something happened to you, what would you do?”
“I refused Big Brother’s proposal.” Nangong Yan looked at Huang Quan, “It wasn’t that I didn’t want to take care of you; I was just worried about Big Brother.”
“Our twin connection was very strong. When Big Brother was preparing to leave, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease. I was worried about him and insisted on going with him. He couldn’t refuse and had to agree.”
“When we left, we told you that we were going to find our parents, not mentioning the danger to avoid making you worry.”
“After we left Tianhuang Country, we arrived in a city in Shangyu Country. There, we received two pieces of information.”
“Both pieces of information were related to our parents. One said they had been seen in Qimu City, and the other said they had been seen in Yunluo Town.”
“Qimu City and Yunluo Town are quite far apart, and we couldn’t verify which was true, so we decided to split up to save time. Big Brother went to Yunluo Town, while I headed to Qimu City.”
“Soon after we separated, I felt like someone was watching me. I contacted Big Brother and told him about it. He said he also felt it, but not as strongly.”
Nangong Yan continued, “But I felt that the surveillance on me was very intense.” He added, “To ease Big Brother’s worries, I didn’t tell him, but we became more vigilant.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Quan and Jing Chen understood why Shao Liang had such a strong reaction when he saw Nangong Yun. Although they understood, neither of them spoke and quietly listened to Nangong Yan.
“Big Brother arrived at his destination before I did,” Nangong Yan said. “Initially, he was still in contact with me, but eventually, the communication was cut off.”
“And I lost the ability to sense Big Brother.”
At this point, Nangong Yan’s expression grew cold. “When twins lose their connection, it usually means two things.”
“One, the other person is dead.”
“But I didn’t feel any sense of emptiness or loss,” Nangong Yan said. “So, I suspect that Big Brother isn’t dead.”
“If he’s not dead, then the first situation doesn’t apply. That leaves only one other possibility.”
Nangong Yan concluded, “He must be in a place that is isolated from the outside world, which is why I can’t sense him.”
