Initially, she thought that she would have to wait for a while before receiving any news.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, a secret guard came back to report that they had found the person.

Yun Ran and Bai Wan were stunned. “So soon?”

This speed was beyond everyone’s expectations.

However, what surprised Yun Ran and the others even more was that the second uncle in the portrait was actually the Sea Dragon King of Hundred Rivers Enterprise.

After all, they had excluded him from the beginning.

“But doesn’t the Sea Dragon King have a sister?”

The secret guards also expressed that they didn’t know about this.

“A few people on the sea boat of the Hundred Rivers Enterprise recognized him. The Little General Bai Qi of the Bai family in this portrait looks identical to their boss, the Sea Dragon King. They were even curious why we were looking for the Sea Dragon King.”

Yun Ran felt that it was unlikely for them to have encountered a doppelganger.

After all, it was not easy to bump into people who looked like her two uncles.

There was a high chance that the Sea Dragon King and his sister were not biological siblings.

Since that was the case, Yun Ran and the others did not have to think about anything else. They could just go and see the Sea Dragon King.

Their group was majestic. Coupled with MO Beiyuan’s identity, the Sea Dragon King met them directly.

Because Yun Ran had seen her second uncle’s portrait before, she was very calm when she saw him in person.

It must be her little packrat who was too excited. While they were not paying attention, she rushed to the Sea Dragon King, who was also her second uncle, Bai Qi, and called out in a childish voice, “Second Granduncle!”

She even raised her small arms for a hug.

“Granduncle, hug!’

Yun Ran rubbed her forehead.

Her little packrat’s social interactions were definitely not inherited from her!

The man sitting on the mahogany chair had his long legs crossed. He was wearing a crescent-white brocade robe and his black hair was tied up with a purple-gold jade crown. There was a red mole under his left eye. His eyes were as warm as jade, as if they contained deep affection. At this moment, a smile appeared on his lips, and his entire person exuded a gentle and refined temperament.

He did not look like an overlord of the sea. Instead, he looked like a famous young master.

“Oh, whose child is this? Why is she so interesting? Second Granduncle? Is the child calling me?”

As the man spoke, he bent down and picked up the pink and sticky rice ball in front of him.

“I’ve seen people acknowledge me as their godfather and godbrother all these years, but this is the first time someone has acknowledged me as their granduncle.”

The man hugged the little packrat and smiled happily.

The little packrat in his arms was naturally very happy as well. She smiled happily, and her sweet laughter resounded throughout the entire room.

“Second Granduncle, Sweetcake finally found you. It’s great that you’re not dead!”

Yun Ran was dumbfounded.

Yun Ran cleared her throat, planning to ask her packrat to come back quickly.

The man was not angry with the little packrat. Instead, he looked at them with a smile in his eyes.

“MO Beiyuan? The East Continent’s Emperor? You’re the ones who brought my portrait around to look for me today, right? Why are you looking for me?”

Bai Wan did not pounce on him like the little packrat. She just looked at him from afar. Her eyes silently turned red and tears fell.

Seeing his gaze flash past her, she asked, “Second Brother, don’t you remember me?”

“Second Brother?” The man was stunned for a moment and smiled at her. “I’m sorry, my surname is Xiao and my name is Hai. Did you recognize the wrong person?”

Before Bai Wan could speak, the little packrat in Xiao Hai’s arms panicked. “I’m not mistaken. You’re Sweetcake’s second granduncle! You’re the same as the person in Grandmother’s painting. There’s a little red dot here.”

The little packrat pointed at the red mole on Xiao Hai r s face..
