Ye Xunhuan’s shout startled Qin Pojun in the backyard, causing him and his companion to instantly show signs of delight and excitement as they headed towards the front yard.

Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan had already taken out the gift he prepared for Qin Pojun and was heading towards the backyard.

Very soon, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi unexpectedly bumped into Qin Pojun.

Upon seeing Qin Pojun, Ye Xunhuan quickly spoke before Qin Pojun could, "Old man, that’s not cool. You knew Ruoxi and I were coming today, yet you didn’t come out to greet us!"

"You rascal, I’m the elder here. There’s no custom of the elder greeting the younger!" Qin Pojun huffed, "Besides, you’re coming home. Do I really need to greet you?"

Though Qin Pojun kept a stern face, looking displeased at Ye Xunhuan’s remark, his words carried a touch of excitement, showing he didn’t mind Ye Xunhuan’s words at all.

At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly said, "Enough, Xunhuan. Grandpa’s old, he shouldn’t be waiting for us outside!"

Qiu Ruoxi’s words immediately made Qin Pojun beam with joy, "My granddaughter-in-law knows me well, unlike you, heartless boy!"

Ye Xunhuan was left speechless, thinking how easily this old man could be won over with just a few words.

"Dad, don’t just stand here. Let’s go inside and sit down!"

Qin Rumeng, who had followed Qin Pojun out from the backyard, suddenly suggested.

Then, the group headed to the backyard.

Once inside, Ye Xunhuan behaved like he was at home, sitting down without waiting for Qin Pojun’s invitation. He even pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking leisurely.

"Grandpa, during New Year’s, didn’t you prepare anything? It looks the same as before here, not festive at all, rather dead!"

"Pah!" Qin Pojun glared fiercely at Ye Xunhuan, "What nonsense are you spouting during the New Year!"

In Huaxia, elders like Qin Pojun are very superstitious about many things, especially during Spring Festival.

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan shrugged helplessly and didn’t say more.

At this point, Qiu Ruoxi said, "Grandpa, I didn’t know what you’d like, so I had someone bring you some camellia tea. Try it and see how it is. If you like it, let me know, and I’ll have them bring you more!"

Saying this, Qiu Ruoxi handed the prepared tea leaves to Qin Pojun.

Since it was prepared beforehand, Qiu Ruoxi had it packaged again, making it look very exquisite.

Qin Pojun couldn’t wait to open it as soon as he received the tea, "I have to try it first!"

"Grandpa, enjoy the tea here. I’m going out for a bit, but I’ll be back to join you for New Year’s Eve dinner!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly stood up and said.

Ye Xunhuan came to the capital not just to celebrate the New Year but also to find Jue Tian and ask about Olivia’s current situation.

Right now, he still had some time, so Ye Xunhuan wanted to go ask Jue Tian.

Qin Pojun glanced at Ye Xunhuan, unconcerned, "Go do what you need to do."

Qin Pojun also knew Ye Xunhuan had business, so he didn’t try to keep him.

"Wife, you stay with Grandpa. I need to take care of something!" Ye Xunhuan slowly turned his gaze toward Qiu Ruoxi.

Qiu Ruoxi didn’t ask much, just nodded calmly.

And with that, Ye Xunhuan left the Qin family home.

After leaving the Qin house, Ye Xunhuan headed straight to his mother Qin Fenghuang’s grave.

Upon reaching Qin Fenghuang’s burial site, the four men guarding her grave appeared before Ye Xunhuan.

"Where’s Jue Tian?" Ye Xunhuan didn’t waste words with them, directly asking.

Ye Xunhuan had met these four before and knew their mannerisms—there was no point in saying much to them as they wouldn’t respond. It was better to get straight to the point and save his breath.

"Second Master is not here!"

Ye Xunhuan knew they meant Jue Tian by "Second Master," which made him frown slowly.

"Where is he?"

"No idea."

"Then what do you know..."

"They know nothing, but I do!"

A loud, resonant voice suddenly rang out around them.

Then, a man dressed in a black robe, wearing a mask, appeared in front of Ye Xunhuan like a phantom.

This person was none other than the elderly guardian alongside the four men at Qin Rumeng’s tomb!

"You are..."

"You’ve seen me before, but who I am shouldn’t matter much to you right now, right?" the elder guardian gazed at Ye Xunhuan and softly said, "Besides, you’re not here to find out who I am, are you?"

"That’s right!" Ye Xunhuan promptly replied, "Where’s Jue Tian?"

"He’s not here," the elder guardian said blandly, "If you have questions, ask me. I can give you a satisfactory answer!"

"What about Olivia?" Ye Xunhuan stared hard at the elder guardian and asked.

Jue Tian had previously said that if Ye Xunhuan needed Olivia, he should come here. Now, with Jue Tian absent, Ye Xunhuan had to ask the elder guardian.

"She’s not here either."

"Where is she then?"

"I can’t tell you her location right now," the elder guardian gently shook his head, "But I can assure you she’s fine, far from anything life-threatening, so you don’t have to worry about her!"

Hearing this, Ye Xunhuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Olivia’s really alright?"

The elder guardian nodded earnestly, "Yes, she is perfectly fine. Moreover, you should be able to see her in about half a month!"

As he spoke, the elder guardian seemed worried that Ye Xunhuan might not believe him, so he added, "You’ll see for yourself whether I’m deceiving you then!"

"Alright, I’ll wait for half a month then!" Ye Xunhuan didn’t press the elder guardian further.

It’s not that he didn’t want to ask, but he knew asking was pointless; if the elder guardian wanted to say more, he would have told Ye Xunhuan without prompting.

Since the elder guardian wasn’t saying anything, it was clear he wasn’t going to tell Ye Xunhuan more, even if he asked.

"I have a letter for you, it’s from your mother. She asked me to find a chance to give it to you," the elder guardian shifted the topic away from Olivia.

Upon hearing Qin Fenghuang had left a letter for him, Ye Xunhuan’s face lit up with excitement, "What letter?"

The elder guardian didn’t say much. Like performing a magic trick, a letter suddenly appeared in his hand, which he then tossed to Ye Xunhuan!
