Chapter 1221 Mermaid Island

Miyamoto Hideki respectfully said, "Reporting to Father, I knew that kid would try every means to find the hostage, so I placed her on Mermaid Island. He won't find her even if he searches the entire Kyoto."

Miyamoto Arataichi nodded, "Good, I'm relieved then."

"Mermaid Island?"

Upon receiving this news, Ye Bufan was overjoyed. Although he still didn't know where Mermaid Island was, he was one step closer.

His mind worked, and his True Qi instantly broke through the acupoints sealed by Gongben Jìwǔ.

How could he find Mermaid Island? His first thought was to capture someone from Miyamoto and use the Soul Capture Technique to ask.

But then he shook his head, dismissing the idea.

This was, after all, Miyamoto's lair. Once he touched Miyamoto's people, whether there was a result or not, it was very likely to attract the attention of the other party. If they moved the location, it would be troublesome.

It seems he had to find clues from outside. Thinking of this, he flashed and disappeared from the secret room, leaving Miyamoto.

He didn't have many acquaintances in Kyoto. After going out, he headed straight towards Qianmu Family.

It was already past midnight, and the entire Kyoto was much quieter compared to the daytime hustle and bustle.

At Qianmu Family, Liu Yun was sitting in her room with her eyes closed, meditating.

Suddenly, she was startled and abruptly opened her eyes, seeing a figure in the room—it was Ye Bufan.

"Master, why have you come?"

Liu Yun was filled with shock. One had to know that Qianmu Family's defenses were extremely strict, and it was almost impossible to enter silently.

She then carefully checked outside the room, and after confirming no one was there, she returned and asked, "Master, do you have any instructions?"

Ye Bufan asked, "How are things going? Is there any news of my mother?"

"Not yet," Liu Yun said. "I just returned to Qianmu Family and dare not make too much movement, fearing it would arouse suspicion from those people.

As of now, no valuable clues have been found."

Ye Bufan didn't say anything. He knew this was normal; if it were that easy to find, it would instead arouse suspicion.

"Do you know where Mermaid Island is?"

"Mermaid Island?" Liu Yun thought for a moment. "I've lived in Great Dog Country for so long, and I've never heard of Mermaid Island."

"Even you don't know?"

Ye Bufan frowned. It seemed this Mermaid Island was not very famous.

Liu Yun said, "This is originally an island nation, with hundreds of large and small islands. I've only heard of a few well-known islands; I'm not too clear about the others.

"

Ye Bufan asked, "Do you have a map here? Look it up and see where Mermaid Island is."

"There is a map."

Liu Yun quickly brought a map, and the two of them carefully checked it, but in the end, they didn't find any information related to Mermaid Island.

Ye Bufan felt a little puzzled. What was going on? Did Miyamoto Hideki lie to him? Logically, it shouldn't be possible; they couldn't have discovered him using Divine Sense to probe.

Liu Yun said, "Master, there are simply too many islands in Great Dog Country. The maps only record some well-known large islands, and there are many unnamed islets and reefs.

Perhaps the Mermaid Island you mentioned is a folk name and has not been included in the map."

Ye Bufan thought about it, and it was indeed possible. Then he asked, "Then what method can I use to find this Mermaid Island? According to the information I received, my mother is very likely hidden there."

"To find such an unknown small island, the best way is to find those who often work at sea.

Qianmu Family's main business is manufacturing and does not involve marine fisheries, so they don't know much about this aspect."

Ye Bufan asked, "Then which Family knows the most about this?"

"Watanabe Family," Liu Yun said. "Watanabe Family originally started with marine fisheries, and all their industrial focus is on the sea. They should be very familiar with islands of all sizes."

"Understood."

Ye Bufan finished speaking and walked out the door.

"Master, where are you going? Why don't I think of a way tomorrow to inquire about news from Watanabe Family?"

"No need. If you act rashly now, it will easily attract others' attention. I'll do it myself."

Ye Bufan finished speaking, and his figure flashed, disappearing from the room.

Outside Qianmu Family, Ye Bufan walked aimlessly on the street.

Since he needed to get information from Watanabe Family, his first thought was Watanabe Yui. As the Young Miss of the Family, it shouldn't be difficult to gather some information.

However, it was already late night, and going to Watanabe Family was clearly not suitable. Watanabe Yui would also find it inconvenient to inquire about information, and it might even arouse suspicion from others.

He did not act rashly but found an uninhabited place to sit cross-legged and meditate, planning to act when it was light.

At Miyamoto, not long after Ye Bufan left, the monitoring room discovered something was wrong and immediately reported to Miyamoto Hideki.

"What, he ran away again?"

Miyamoto Hideki was furious. What was this troublemaker doing running out again? Didn't he think he had caused enough trouble for Miyamoto?

Angry as he was, the person still

had to be found. Once Ye Bufan was discovered by the Three Great Families, it would probably be a bad omen, and then no one would treat his Father's illness.

"Quickly find him for me, and report to me immediately once he is found."

So, the entire Miyamoto turned out, searching for Ye Bufan's traces all over Kyoto.

Unfortunately, as a Saint-Grade level powerhouse, if Ye Bufan didn't want to expose himself, how could he be discovered by them? They searched for an entire night and still found nothing.

Having no choice, Miyamoto Hideki finally gave up. Anyway, he held the hostage, and once three days passed, the other party would definitely return.

The next day at Watanabe Family, Watanabe Yui sat in her boudoir, feeling depressed.

For so many years, she had never liked a man. This time, she finally met someone she liked, but he happened to become the enemy of the entire Family.

Not only did he cripple Watanabe Gangxian, but he also caused the Family heavy losses. This kind of hatred would probably be irreconcilable.

Just as she was frowning, her phone in her pocket rang.

Originally, she was not in the mood to answer the phone, but she accidentally glanced at the screen and saw the words 'Ye Jun' written on it. Immediately, as if injected with a stimulant, she grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button.

Yesterday at the auction, she was bored and entered her phone number into Ye Bufan's phone, and also saved his phone number.

"Ye Jun, where are you? Are you okay?"

Due to excessive excitement, Watanabe Yui's voice trembled slightly.

"I'm fine. There's something I'd like your help with, if possible?"

"Yes, you can tell me."

Watanabe Yui's mood was very conflicted. Although she clearly knew that the other party was the Family's enemy, she simply couldn't control herself and immediately agreed.

"Are you free to come out? Let's talk in person."

As it was a serious matter, Ye Bufan didn't trust electronic products too much.

Given the strength of the major Families, they might have monitored his phone number. If the other party knew that he had already obtained information about Mermaid Island, it would be troublesome if they moved his mother to another place for confinement.

"Alright then, I'll call you again after I go out."

Watanabe Yui hung up the phone, tried to calm herself down, put on an unconcerned expression, and then drove out of Watanabe Family alone.

Once outside, she made sure no one was following her before taking out her phone again and dialing Ye Bufan's number.

"Ye Jun, where are you? Shall I pick you up?"
