The next morning, a sensational news headline about "National Little Diva's First Concert" hit the trending lists across various platforms.
Upon hearing the news, many netizens immediately erupted in excitement.
"National Little Diva? You must be referring to Goddess Yin Luo!"
"Isn't that obvious! Besides Goddess Yin Luo, who else could possibly deserve the title of National Little Diva?"
"I always felt Goddess Yin Luo's singing was wonderful, I never expected she'd actually hold a concert!"
"Hmph! My Goddess Yin Luo, apart from her acting skills, her singing talent is undoubtedly the best!"
"Right! Does anyone know where this concert is going to be held?"
"I know this! It seems it's scheduled to be in Minghai City!"
"Minghai City? That name sounds a bit familiar?"
"I have too... Holy crap!"
"Didn't Goddess Qian Yu and Teacher Ye live in Minghai City? I think I've stumbled upon something significant!"
"Alas! What a pity! Teacher Ye and the others seem to have gone to the capital, it's probably just a coincidence!"
"No! With my woman's sixth sense, I'm already catching a whiff of gossip!"
"????"
"..."
In any case, the news of the National Little Diva Yan Yin Luo holding a concert in Minghai City had become the center of public attention.
Meanwhile, Nangong Qian Yu's private messages also received similar information.
At the dining table.
"Huh! I didn't expect Yin Luo to come to Minghai City for a concert, why didn't she tell me beforehand?"
Upon hearing the news, Nangong Qian Yu was shocked, but also very happy.
Judging by her tone, it seemed she knew Yan Yin Luo.
"Yin Luo?"
When Ye Ming heard this name, he was slightly stunned.
Could it be that coincidental?
This was the first thought that crossed his mind.
"So... that! Qian Yu! The celebrity you mentioned named Yin Luo, wouldn't by any chance have the surname Yan!" Ye Ming confirmed.
Huh?
Hearing Ye Ming's question, the few women present all cast suspicious glances at him.
There's something wrong!
There's definitely something wrong!
This was the intuition of women.
"Why... why are you all looking at me like that, it's making me a bit uncomfortable!"
Ye Ming picked up a bowl of red bean porridge and slurped it down, not daring to meet their eyes.
Xiao Ai Yin, with her large, curious eyes, looked at the adults.
"Yes! Her name is indeed Yan Yin Luo, I met her at an event!" Nangong Qian Yu said with a half-smile, looking at Ye Ming. "How did you know her surname was Yan?"
Uh?
"This, well!"
Under so many gazes, Ye Ming felt a prickly sensation all over his body, making him uncomfortable.
"I... I saved her once before, so... so that's how I know her!"
Ye Ming desperately wanted to escape now, but he couldn't.
Upon hearing this, the women furrowed their brows.
Could it be another cliché hero saving the beauty scenario?
Speaking of which, Nangong Qian Yu thought of herself again.
"You didn't take advantage of her gratitude, did you?" Nangong Qian Yu scrutinized Ye Ming, her tone resembling an interrogation.
"No! How could that be possible?"
Although Ye Ming said this outwardly, he added shamelessly in his heart: "She, however, was willing to offer herself in marriage!"
This sentence, Ye Ming naturally wouldn't dare to say.
Even if it was the truth.
After all, a female celebrity like Yan Yin Luo was inherently prone to danger. The time Ye Ming saved her was purely coincidental.
Even if he hadn't been there at the time, Yan Yin Luo's grandfather could have rescued her in time.
Therefore, this hero-saves-beauty scenario wasn't that perfect.
But because Ye Ming had only recently entered human society back then, he couldn't integrate well.
He still treated everyone and everything with his usual indifference.
This led him to live a largely nomadic life.
Yan Yin Luo's grandfather, seeing this situation, brought him to the Yan family under the guise of repaying a favor.
However, Ye Ming only stayed at the Yan family for half a month before leaving.
What he left for Yan Yin Luo was merely a cold group photo.
"Forget it! Since Yin Luo is coming to Minghai City, I'll ask her properly about you guys then!"
Nangong Qian Yu finally let Ye Ming off the hook.
Hearing this, Ye Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.
"You... you guys eat first, I have some things to attend to!"
Without waiting for the women's response, he left.
He couldn't stay in this place any longer.

The capital.
"Sister Xin, when do you think he will come looking for us?" Qin Yuan mentioned the mysterious young man with a lingering sense of fear.
"Alas! I don't know if bringing him back to the Dark Clan this time is a blessing or a curse!"
Xia Zhi Qiu remained more composed, not panicking.
"You two don't need to be so dejected! We have no other choice right now." Su Xin said directly, "The only thing we can do now is cooperate obediently!"
Among them, Su Xin was the most rational.
Currently, the enemy was strong and they were weak, it was not a situation they could control.
"It's quite wise of you to think this way!"
At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly echoed in Su Xin's mind.
"This..."
Su Xin's mouth parted slightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and her body trembled.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Zhi Qiu was the first to notice Su Xin's unusual behavior.
But the next second, he and Qin Yuan heard the same voice.
"You two don't need to wait for me, go back to the Dark Clan yourselves!"
Upon hearing this, they all stood frozen, somewhat bewildered.
He wasn't going back to the Dark Clan with them?
Why the sudden change of mind?
"Sir! Has something happened?"
After regaining her senses, Su Xin immediately asked.
But after waiting for several seconds, there was no response.
"Sir!"
She called out again, her voice a little softer.
Still nothing.
"This... why?"
Su Xin couldn't understand why the other party would suddenly go back on his word.
Could it be...
"Let's go! We're returning to the Dark Clan!"
Su Xin stood up and said immediately.
At this moment, Xia Zhi Qiu and the other two were still a bit dazed!
But Su Xin offered no explanation.
***
A few hours later.
Su Xin and the others arrived at a forest several dozen miles away from the capital and stopped.
She first scanned the surroundings, finding nothing out of the ordinary.
"Did I guess wrong?" Su Xin asked herself in a low voice.
Then, they all took out a red talisman and infused it with a few wisps of their true energy.
Several talismans floated in the air, each condensing into a terrifying red energy.
The moment this energy appeared, the surrounding space seemed to become unstable.
It became extremely fragile.
"Open!"
The three of them held the talismans and jointly directed these energies towards a specific node.
With a "crack," the space at that point was forcefully torn apart, creating an opening.
After completing this, Su Xin didn't immediately walk towards the spatial rift, but said respectfully, "Sir, you may reveal yourself!"
Hearing this, Xia Zhi Qiu and Qin Yuan's nerves instantly tensed, and they simultaneously became vigilant of their surroundings.
Could it be that the mysterious young man had been watching them in secret all along?
But after nearly a minute, there was still no reaction from the surroundings.
"Sir!"
Su Xin's voice softened, and she thought to herself:
"Could I really be overthinking things?"
