Chapter 2898
Observing the spoiled Gao Qilan, Gao Qiang remained remarkably composed!
“Is this about the two girls?”
Gao Qiang inquired while looking at Gao Qilan!
“Brother, are you aware of everything?” Gao Qilan replied with an awkward smile!
“In the Gao family, what could possibly be hidden from me?”
Gao Qiqiang chuckled!
“You say that as if you don’t mind if Second Brother captures those two girls and tries to spoil them.”
“I’m just glad I arrived in time; otherwise, those two girls would have been spoiled rotten by Second Brother.”
“That big pervert of a Second Brother is too much! I want to see him and give him a piece of my mind…”
Gao Qilan huffed in frustration!
“It really is about time for your Second Brother to take charge, but you shouldn’t constantly scold him; he is your brother after all.”
“Just wait a bit; I’ll find a daughter-in-law for your Second Brother. He might just do better!”
Gao Qiqiang stated!
“Then, big brother, when will you find a sister-in-law for me?” Gao Qilan asked eagerly!
“Forget about that! Watching you two gives me a headache. When would I even have time to find you a sister-in-law?”
“If you plan to go out, visit the Grand Elder and have a couple of people guard you. Also, swing by the warehouse and grab some life-preserving array plates.”
“Take care of yourself and avoid trouble; I’d be heartbroken if you got hurt.”
Gao Qiang remarked with a helpless look at Gao Qilan!
“Thank you, big brother! I love you…”
Gao Qilan kissed Gao Qiang on the cheek and dashed out!
As Gao Qilan hurried away, Gao Qiqiang smiled helplessly, realizing that he had spoiled his sister and now had to deal with the consequences!
Gao Qilan collected the formation plate, requested the eldest elder to send two guards, and then exited the Gao family to search for the cave mentioned by Fire Phoenix and the girls.

Kai and his companions trudged across the icy expanse!
Occasionally, they stumbled upon the corpses of several cultivators!
The once peaceful northern lands had turned into a battlefield, as greed had led many to act selfishly!
“Let’s all remain cautious and avoid getting drawn into conflicts; our goal is to seek treasures, not to steal from others!”
Kai whispered these words, aimed particularly at Ji Yun and the others, as Wajang and Liu Ruyan were not those to rob others!
However, Ji Yun and his group, being part of the elite Flying Sky Sect, had a natural inclination towards the strong overpowering the weak!
“Don’t worry, Brother Chen. As long as I’m with you, I’ll follow your lead. We’ll focus solely on treasure hunting…”
Ji Yun quickly pledged his loyalty!
Especially after seeing the corpses of the fallen cultivators, Ji Yun understood that dark forces were at play in this extreme northern territory!
After nearly a day of travel, Kai abruptly signaled for everyone to halt!
He then fixed his gaze intently on a small snow mound not far away!
“If you have any tricks up your sleeve, come out!”
Kai bellowed at the snow mound!
As expected, at Kai’s call, five figures slowly emerged!
The leader was none other than Gao Qijie, the third son of the Gao family!
Upon seeing Gao Qijie, Wajang’s expression darkened!
“I never expected to encounter you again, especially on my own turf…”
Gao Qijie remarked with a cold grin directed at Kai!
Kai glanced at Gao Qijie and then at the people behind him, noting they were merely at the fifth rank of the Combined Body realm, posing no threat whatsoever!
Even without Kai taking action, Ji Yun at the seventh rank of the Combination Realm would be more than capable of handling the situation!
“Yes, what a coincidence! Are you hiding here just to wait for me?”
Kai asked, displaying no signs of panic!
“Indeed, I’ve been anticipating you. I’ve not forgotten the grudge from the Jia Ling County Ring!”
Gao Qijie’s gaze hardened, a cold glint flickering in his eyes!
“And what will you do about it? With just a handful of you, do you think you can stop me?”
Kai wore a look of disdain!
