Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

This confidence stems from her profound understanding of the rules that govern this world.

"Although the situation is a bit strange, I'm not too worried about her safety."

Xie Wan'an's voice regained some of its composure, a confidence based on a thorough analysis of the interests involved:

"After all, some reclusive families do have strange habits that don't want to be seen in the light of day. Asking someone to treat them is like doing something thieving, so it's normal for them to use methods to block signals."

"More importantly—there is almost no one in this world who would be stupid enough to harm Luna."

At this point, Xie Wan'an let out a light, sarcastic laugh:

"She is a rare elven healer, one in a million in the world."

"Moreover, she is the only 'wild' miracle doctor who is free and not affiliated with any official institution or conglomerate."

"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on her is basically declaring war on the world's elite."

You Yang listened to the analysis on the other end of the phone and nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, this is not just about interpersonal relationships, but also about naked survival interests.

Luna holds not only medical skills, but also the lives of countless powerful figures.

Those old monsters from those big families, half-buried and clinging to life by Luna's special abilities, valued Luna more than their own grandsons.

Luna's treatment is often a long process, not a one-off deal.

By harming Luna, they cut off the lifeline for these old monsters.

In order to live a few more years, these old madmen who wield immense power will spare no effort to tear that ignorant kidnapper to pieces.

Compared to the likelihood of Luna being kidnapped, Xie Wan'an believed more that the girl was simply engrossed in playing the game.

After all, aside from nature, this girl's favorite thing is all kinds of games.

"Okay, since you say so, then I'm relieved."

You Yang stretched and said, "Don't be too anxious. Maybe she'll just pop out on her own in a couple of days."

"Yes, I will continue to use my network to investigate."

Xie Wan'an paused, her tone softening slightly, as if asking casually, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern:

"By the way, how is that girl—Chen Yuexi—doing?"

Xie Wan'an has been paying close attention to the girl who is rumored to possess the "Dark Wizard" deck.

After all, that power was just like the power You Yang possessed, making it one of the few beings capable of rivaling a god.

She was very envious.

"It's troublesome."

You Yang smiled, gave a polite reply, and then answered in a relaxed tone:

"Yuexi's condition is currently stable."

"The medical facilities here at the arbitrator's office are top-notch."

"Although that therapist's skill level couldn't compare to Luna's 'miracle,' he at least stabilized her condition and prevented it from worsening."

"That's fine."

Upon hearing this news, Xie Wan'an seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

At that moment, a urging voice could be faintly heard from the other end of the phone, as if the motorcade for the party was ready.

"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you."

Xie Wan'an's voice became sharp and cold again, as if he had put on that hard armor once more:

"My car has arrived, I need to get to my next event."

"If all else fails, just go to their company and wait for them."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

"beep--"

As the busy tone of the phone call ended, the courtyard returned to its afternoon tranquility.

As You Yang watched the phone screen gradually go dark, the languid look in his eyes faded, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

Putting away his phone, You Yang stretched out his wicker chair one last time, his bones cracking and popping.

Since Xie Wan'an made this suggestion, You Yang decided to follow her advice and go to the company to take a look.

Perhaps a surprise awaits him.

Having made up his mind, You Yang straightened his collar and prepared to step out the door.

Just then, a series of light and unexpected footsteps broke the tranquility of the entrance hall.

"Youyang! Youyang! Would you like to try this?"

Accompanied by a clear, bell-like voice, Lilith peeked in from outside.

The afternoon sun shone on her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face, making her already fair skin almost translucent.

At this moment, a light called "excitement" was gleaming in those usually calm eyes.

She held up her phone, as if presenting a treasure, and held it high in front of You Yang, her eyes full of anticipation.

The little girl always likes to act like an adult, so she always suppresses her emotions.

He always acts disdainful towards others, which is quite rare.

Chapter 265 A Woman Among Women—[S:P Xiaoye]!

Since the "thief" who had kept the entire city on edge disappeared, Lilith has gradually returned to a state of leisure.

After all, strictly speaking, although she possesses power on par with Tiandao Lian, she is still just a child.

Unless they are truly overwhelmed, the arbitrators generally will not send her to the scene.

This also meant that when Lilith had free time, besides looking for a few unlucky guys on the bloody hunting list to pass the time, her only other pleasure was immersing herself in the virtual game world.

But recently, even the kill list has become boring.

That guy named Chen Yuan, along with his sister, was like a diligent cleaner, taking all the spots on the list and leaving no one else a drop.

So, bored out of her mind, Lilith could only stay in her room all day, spending her time with her game console.

This time, however, she seems to have unearthed an incredible "treasure".

That's a VR game that's recently become incredibly popular.

While using a professional VR headset can provide an immersive experience, even operating it through a mobile phone screen offers a level of subtle interaction that is captivating enough to keep you hooked.

At this moment, she was standing in front of You Yang, holding her phone high with both hands. Her delicate face was full of undisguised expectation, like a puppy holding a frisbee waiting for its owner's praise. Her whole face seemed to say, "I want to play with you."

Seeing the eager little guy in front of him, You Yang stopped in his tracks.

He wasn't annoyed at all by the interruption; on the contrary, looking into Lilith's clear eyes, a warm and gentle light, like the afternoon sun, flickered in his eyes.

Just as he opened his mouth, about to agree—

"Om-"

The phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated, breaking the warm atmosphere.

You Yang took out his phone, and a text message from Xie Wan'an was displayed on the screen.

The content is very brief, with only two points:

"Shiyao asked me to thank you for taking care of Shiqing these past few days."

"Also, they're back. They're at the company now. If you have time, go see them."

After reading these two lines, You Yang's eyes lit up slightly.

He subconsciously rubbed the edge of his phone, then looked up, his gaze returning to Lilith in front of him.

That playful impulse that had just arisen had to be temporarily suppressed.

He reached out his hand, gently ruffling his once-smooth hair with a slight pressure, before speaking apologetically and softly:

"I'm sorry, Lilith."

"I suddenly have an urgent matter to attend to and need to go out to deal with it."

Seeing the light begin to flicker in the girl's eyes, You Yang added softly:

"You play this game first, and I'll play with you again when I get back, okay?"

During the two weeks he stayed at the Arbitrators' headquarters, You Yang had a rare period of leisure, as the little girl often brought him various games.

Over time, he played along quite a bit, and he never reneges on such promises.

Upon hearing this, Lilith's small hands, which had been holding the phone high, froze in mid-air for a moment, then slowly fell down as if they had lost all strength.

"……All right."

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath her eyelids.

Those bright, sparkling eyes, which seemed to hold the stars, dimmed slightly in an instant.

That fleeting sense of loss was like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, desolate and lonely.

However, You Yang, who has always been somewhat oblivious to matters of the heart, did not realize the deeper emotions behind this sense of loss.

After all, Lilith was never the kind of spoiled brat who would throw tantrums at the slightest inconvenience.

Taking a deep breath, Lilith raised her head again.

She strained her facial muscles, nodded obediently, and said in a sensible tone that was almost heartbreaking:

"Then...come back soon."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

You Yang patted her thin shoulder again to comfort her, and then left.

He pushed open the heavy door and strode into the bright sunlight outside, leaving only a dashing silhouette.

The entryway was once again deathly silent.
