Chapter 125: The Wen Father and Son

Early the next morning, Liu Yi made a special trip to the Wen residence to report the matter directly to Wen Yiru.

"Very well, very well. Many thanks to Head Steward Liu for coming to relay this message. Let us set it for the day after tomorrow. There is no need for the Prince's residence to send anyone; I shall make my own arrangements to receive my daughter. Please convey to His Highness the Third Prince that he need not trouble himself."

Wen Yiru had been unaware of this arrangement, as Wen Yueze had not mentioned it upon his return. Liu Yi’s sudden arrival caught him off guard. Having just been promoted to Minister of War, he was currently preoccupied with official duties and social obligations; had it not been for Liu Yi’s visit...

Meanwhile, deep underground, Ziying, who was busy slaying monsters to cultivate, suddenly looked up. Seeming to have sensed something, she raised an eyebrow, flashed into motion, and soared directly from the depths toward the surface.

"It is far more complicated than that. That was originally a troop under the Emperor’s personal command, tasked with protecting his safety. They are all elites with formidable martial arts. If captured, they would even consume poison to end their lives as a display of loyalty," Huangfu Sheng explained.

What? Hearing those familiar names caused my heart to race. Why were these names so recognizable? Were these not the very people from the Seventh Dream? How had they all transmigrated to the Wuling Continent? Strange, what was going on here?

Yet, looking at it from another perspective, if he, Qin Yue, were asked to completely abandon the Ling Shu Sutra to help Mo Qingchen, he doubted he could do it. At most, he would risk his life to help with the Kunlun Mountain affair, but he could not allow the Ling Shu Sutra to be compromised.

Lady Liu stepped into the room. As she approached the bed canopy and reached for the curtain, the person inside stopped their shameful movements.

If not for his weak foundation and the critical state of breaking through the second heaven of the Ling Shu Sutra, which allowed the best effects to last for less than two months, Qin Yue felt that with just one more month, he might have been able to test directly into the Imperial Capital.

Besides, this would be detrimental to her reputation; he suspected that no one would dare to plead for her in the future. Although this suited his intentions perfectly, he, like Duke Qin, could not tolerate anyone casting the slightest aspersion on Xia Jinxi.

The pungent scent of medicine mixed with the stench of animal rot, creating a nauseating odor. The moment she opened the door, Tanya frowned and instinctively covered her nose. While it was not as horrific as the fourth stage of the underground chamber, it was scarcely better. Fortunately, one’s sense of smell dulls after prolonged exposure.

He had long since learned of Xia Jinxi’s intelligence. It was only a matter of time before she discovered the truth, and since they were family, there was no harm in being honest.

In the swimwear section, Dujuan was carefully making a selection. Qin Yue picked up a bikini and held it up for her to see.

The teams even conducted searches in shifts, and in the absence of Qin Shou, they continuously transported back various supplies.

It had not been easy, however; they had paid with the lives of the Bai clan and Xiazhu, and Cuiping and she herself had nearly lost half their lives in the process.

"Eh! Why is the Captain over there?" Xiong Yuan said, looking at the coordinates on the positioning system.

His mind was constantly occupied with these thoughts, and he was pondering when Ye Tiancheng would finally bring him some new information. Only then would he no longer have to live this life of hiding and seeking.

"There is an issue! Throw this traitorous beast out of the company! From this day forward, there is no place in this company for such a wretch!" Chen Jingyi pointed at the subordinate—no, the former subordinate—writhing and screaming on the floor, and cursed him roundly.

No, that couldn't be. He hated her so much that he wouldn't hesitate to throw her into a dungeon, and most likely, he would even destroy the child in her womb.

"Yes, this is exactly what is needed to replenish the energy once all the Ultramen have lost theirs," Lin Sha said, looking at the source core.

Sweat had broken out on her forehead at some point. She locked the palace doors and had just caught her breath when she suddenly remembered that the windows could also be opened.

Niu Geng did not choose to recruit online; instead, he planned to select an assistant directly from the school and then entrust her with the tasks of recruitment and finding an office rental.
