Huang Quan’s anxiety about her unsold merchandise was evident. Money seemed to be beckoning to her, and she couldn’t help but feel impatient.
Quietly, Huang Quan looked at Ye Qin and said, “Alright, I won’t go out today, but let’s head out early tomorrow morning, okay?”
Ye Qin, slightly taken aback by her eagerness, agreed, “Okay.”
Huang Quan nodded, then turned to leave. Ye Qin watched her until she disappeared from view before finally leaving the garden.

The following morning, after breakfast, Ye Qin turned to Nangong Mian. “Third brother, I’m taking Quanquan out for a stroll. Do you want to join us?”
Nangong Mian declined, saying, “No, I need to practice. You can take Huang Quan out, but make sure to return early.”
Ye Qin nodded and smiled. “Of course.”
“Be safe,” Nangong Mian wished.
“I will,” Ye Qin assured him.
After their brief conversation, Nangong Mian resumed his practice.
Once Nangong Mian had left, Ye Qin turned to Huang Quan. “Shall we go?”
Huang Quan grinned. “Let’s go.”
The two left the mansion and climbed into the carriage parked just outside. Unlike the magnificent carriages pulled by mysterious beasts they had used previously, today’s carriage appear rather ordinary on the outside.
This understated exterior design was less likely to draw attention and gave an impression of plainness. However, the interior was comfortable, with plush cushions. While it might not be as spacious as the previous carriage, it was still quite comfortable.
On a small table inside the carriage sat a small white box. After Ye Qin boarded the carriage, he picked up the box, opened it, and revealed its contents.
The small white box contained a delicate silver bracelet with a crystal-clear spiritual stone at its center, making it exceptionally beautiful.
Ye Qin handed the box to Huang Quan, smiling as he said, “This is the communication stone I prepared for you.”
Huang Quan took the bracelet, cut her finger to release a drop of blood infused with spiritual power, which was then absorbed by the spiritual stone. After the stone absorbed the blood, it emitted a faint white light. When the light faded, a tiny diamond-shaped crystal appeared within the once-clear spiritual stone.
“Quanquan, use your power to open that crystal,” Ye Qin instructed.
Huang Quan followed his guidance, allowing her power to enter the spiritual stone and unlock the crystal. Once the crystal was opened, there was nothing inside.
Ye Qin took out his communication stone, made the two spiritual stones touch, and then enveloped them with his power. The two stones glowed faintly again under the power’s influence. When the light subsided, there was an energy within the crystal, which gradually transformed into the word “Ye Qin.”
Ye Qin looked at Huang Quan. “Now it’s your turn.”
Huang Quan nodded, and she released her power, following Ye Qin’s example. When she finished, a light green energy appeared in Ye Qin’s communication stone, and, with Huang Quan’s guidance, it formed the word “Huang Quan.”
Ye Qin said, “If I’m not around in the future, you can contact me.”
The most significant thing is that you can reach out when you miss someone. Even if you can’t see them, you can hear their voice.
Huang Quan looked at the bracelet, thoroughly satisfied. When she glanced at Ye Qin, her already gentle expression became even softer. “Qin Qin, thank you.”
The carriage had no sound barrier, and people with high cultivation levels had sharper hearing compared to ordinary individuals. Consequently, the man driving the carriage couldn’t help but be taken aback when he heard the nickname “Qin Qin.”
“Qin Qin…”
He was speechless…
Ye Qin ruffled Huang Quan’s hair and said, “No need to thank me, as long as you like it.”
Huang Quan cast a meaningful glance at him and then fell into thought.
