Little Angelia never expected to hear news of her parents; she had dared to hope she might run into them and her younger sister at this place called "Ivory Castle," though she hadn't held out much expectation. After all, finding just a few people in the vast sea of humanity was hardly easy, and whether they were even in this city remained an unknown!

But for Rhys to suddenly bring such news—how could this not astonish her?

Rhys, too, found it incredible. He hadn't known Angelia’s parents, but Laurent had. When Laurent told him, Rhys almost couldn't believe it was true. Yet, Laurent insisted absolutely that he hadn't been mistaken!

If the crowd hadn't been so dense, causing them to lose sight of the people, he and Laurent would certainly have brought Angelia’s parents over. Though they searched the vicinity afterward, they never found them again!

Just as Angelia was preparing to ask for details, Caine, standing nearby, suddenly let out an exclamation and asked Angelia with a touch of excitement, "Angelia, is your mother named Sylvia?"

Angelia blinked, nodding slightly, yet inwardly wondering why Caine would know; she was certain Caine shouldn't know her parents!

At that moment, Caine darted over to Angelia. She finally understood why that woman she’d met this morning felt so familiar—it was Angelia's mother! What a coincidence, never imagining she would run into her!

"Angelia, I met your parents this morning too, and we spoke at length. Your little sister is adorable!" Caine instantly perked up, briefly recounting what had happened earlier.

My sister? My sister is here too?

Angelia was unaware that the sister Caine mentioned was entirely different from the one she pictured in her mind. In truth, she didn't even know she had gained another younger sister!

"Sister Caine, do you know where my parents are staying now?" Angelia asked, barely suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

"Oh, I didn't ask!" Caine replied, then turned to Rhys. "Rhys, do you know?"

Rhys shook his head; if he had known where they were staying, he would have brought them over long ago!

"Angelia, don't worry. We'll look for them together later. Your parents must be nearby, and they came for the 'Magic Exchange Meet,' so they won't be leaving anytime soon. Rest assured!" Caine comforted her.

As long as Angelia’s parents were still in "Ivory Castle," Caine was confident she could find them. If necessary, she could even ask Zhong Shenxiu for help, so Caine wasn't worried at all.

Dusk had settled. Inside the "Dream Star Magic Martial Academy," Feng Haotian walked listlessly along the paved path. He had been searching for nearly a full day but still couldn't locate the two children he had seen yesterday.

After being pressed by him and his second elder sister, Yue Nongying, Wu Feiyan finally revealed the truth: she did know she didn't have long to live, though she lacked the specific timeframe.

Upon hearing this terrible news, Feng Haotian nearly collapsed. The blow was simply too devastating. He had no heart for studying, which was why he skipped class again today. He did it for one reason only: to find the whereabouts of Zhong Shenxiu and Robin.

Though Wu Feiyan claimed her condition was incurable, Feng Haotian refused to give up. He had to find Zhong Shenxiu; this person, who could discern his sister's condition at a glance, might possess a cure!

To that end, Feng Haotian had wandered the academy all day, hoping to encounter Zhong Shenxiu and Robin once more. But reality was harsh; he hadn't even seen a shadow of them. Moreover, the academy was vast, impossible to traverse by mere wandering!

He could have asked the Headmaster for details; after all, he had personally seen Zhong Shenxiu talking with the Headmaster that day. However, the problem was that the Headmaster rarely appeared, and his office was protected by a powerful barrier, inaccessible to just anyone!

Although Wu Feiyan mentioned inviting Zhong Shenxiu and Robin to visit the academy on the third day, Feng Haotian didn't want to waste this precious time, as every day they remained unfound lessened the chance of his sister surviving!

As Feng Haotian fretted over this matter, a voice drifted from a distance: "Haotian, wait for me!"

Feng Haotian turned back and saw a youth running toward him—none other than Weisworth, one of his friends!

"What's up?" Feng Haotian asked Weisworth, who was slightly out of breath. "Haotian, I heard you’ve been skipping class these past two days. That's really rare!" Weisworth muttered.

Feng Haotian didn't speak, merely gazing steadily at Weisworth. He was in no mood for small talk in his current state.

Weisworth seemed accustomed to Feng Haotian’s silence and paid it little mind, continuing, "Haotian, I have something to tell you, and it's exclusive news, mind you!"

He then struck a very mysterious pose. Feng Haotian, however, remained rigidly impassive.

"I got that job working at the 'Dark Guild,' remember? Recently, the 'Dark Guild' released a series of new products. The magical part about these products is that they come in modular packages! You can purchase components based on your actual situation. Now, people like me, with limited funds, can also use 'Dark Guild' products!" Weisworth sounded quite animated, speaking with great flair.

In the past, Feng Haotian would have certainly inquired, but right now, he lacked the inclination. Simply standing there listening to Weisworth was already an effort!

"And here’s another piece of good news. The manager of the 'Dark Guild' has entrusted me to be the first to sell dozens of these product sets here at our academy. Here are the introductions to these products; see if any pique your interest. I can reserve one for you!" Weisworth exclaimed, bubbling with excitement again.

He still felt the situation was unbelievable, a sense of floating elation. He never imagined the 'Dark Guild' manager would value him so highly as to entrust him with something as significant as being an agent. Many noble families had tried to secure agency for 'Dark Guild' products and were turned down!

What he didn't know was that this opportunity was merely the result of a single remark from Zhong Shenxiu. A flicker of surprise crossed Feng Haotian's face, but it was quickly obscured by the gloom in his heart. To him, nothing was more important than his sister’s fate!

"I'm not very interested!" Feng Haotian handed the small brochure back to Weisworth.

"Don't be disappointed. When better things come along, I'll definitely save something for you," Weisworth grinned. After tucking the brochure away, he suddenly adopted a mysterious expression again. He glanced left and right, and seeing no one nearby, he lowered his voice conspiratorially. "Haotian, I have one more secret for you—you must keep this strictly confidential!"

"What secret?" Feng Haotian asked casually.

"Did you know? Two very important figures visited the 'Dark Guild' yesterday. Even our manager showed them profound reverence. Now, guess what kind of people they were?" Weisworth suddenly let out a sly smirk. Seeing Feng Haotian remain silent, he quickly added, "They were two children—a tiny boy and a little girl, hehe. I even stopped them yesterday! Thinking about it now still gives me the chills!"

"What did you say?" Feng Haotian suddenly grabbed Weisworth by the shoulders. The words 'two children' were the most sensitive topic for him right now.

This time, it was Weisworth who fell silent. He didn't understand why Feng Haotian was reacting so intensely. Even if he expected surprise, this level of overreaction seemed unnecessary.

"What did those two children look like? Tell me quickly, the more detail the better!" Feng Haotian demanded, nearly shouting.

Weisworth was completely flustered and answered purely on instinct: "The little boy looked about seven years old, and his face would occasionally reveal a wicked smile unfitting for his age. The little girl looked to be around ten, and she remained silent the entire time..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Haotian shot off like the wind, his destination the "Dark Guild"! He had to try, as long as there was a sliver of hope!

Feng Haotian was consumed by urgency. To increase his speed, he unleashed his Wind Element magic to its fullest extent, shooting out of the "Dream Star Magic Martial Academy" like a gust of wind!

Yet, before he even reached the "Dark Guild," he abruptly brought his body to a halt, his entire frame frozen, staring fixedly ahead. The reason was simple: he saw a person—a small figure—who was none other than Robin, out helping search for Angelia’s parents.

Although Robin lacked the formidable mental waves of Zhong Shenxiu, her spiritual sense was still potent, allowing her to search vast areas around them.

Besides Robin, Angelia, Caine, Shalo, and the two men, Rhys and Laurent, were gathered near her.

Feng Haotian was overcome with emotion; he couldn't believe his luck had been so good as to encounter one of them here. It felt like a deliberate arrangement by fate.

Suppressing the excitement surging within him, he hurried over. Though he didn't know why the little boy was absent, finding this little girl was tantamount to finding the boy!

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt!" Feng Haotian stopped right beside Robin.

Robin looked up at him but said nothing. Caine and the others nearby also paused, observing Feng Haotian with curiosity.

Feng Haotian was just preparing his approach when Caine asked Robin, "Robin, who is this? Do you know him?"

"Don't know," Robin replied curtly. This response left Feng Haotian, who had almost formulated his request, utterly dumbfounded!

"I—we've met before, you don't remember me?" Feng Haotian asked, growing anxious.

This time, however, Robin delivered a devastating reply: "I'm very busy!"

Her tone and demeanor were an exact echo of Zhong Shenxiu!

Feng Haotian was caught in a dilemma. Just as he was about to say more, Robin suddenly uttered a completely confounding statement:

"I found them!"
