Chapter 1884: Chapter 1885: The Extreme Region of Southern Xinjiang

“Master Ye, if there’s nothing else, you should leave now.”

Watching as Qian Jinming mercilessly issued the eviction order, Ye Qingming’s eyes turned slightly for a moment before cooperating by standing up.

“Miss Qian, as an outsider, I indeed shouldn’t say much about this matter. But from what I know of Su Chengyu, it’s much better to tell him than to hide it from him.”

Facing Ye Qingming’s advice, Qian Jinming was indifferent and calmly said,

“Thank you for your good intentions, Master Ye. But as you said, this is our family affair.”

Qian Jinming’s tough attitude left Ye Qingming with no choice but to nod his head, turn around, and completely leave the flower and bird shop.

Only after Ye Qingming’s figure had completely disappeared did Qian Jinming stop controlling her emotions and speak with a face full of disgust.

“What a damn Dragon Soul Sect Master, more nagging than my mom.”

“Miss, the intelligence you requested has been prepared. Should we send only the portion meant for external sharing to the Ye Mansion?”

Qian Jinming glanced discontentedly at the spirit monster beside her, disdainfully saying, “Are you an idiot? All of it, send it all without holding back.”

The spirit monster looked puzzled and confused, not understanding why Qian Jinming, who clearly didn’t like Ye Qingming, would cooperate so much with his work.

“Do you think this guy came here for his own sake?”

“Isn’t it?”

“Whatever happened inside the Yu Clan Cave Heaven, the Dragon Soul Department will find out sooner or later. He came hurrying over, but did you really think he came just to help the Dragon Soul Department?”

“Then what…”

“This guy came this time for the Su family’s matters; otherwise, why do you think I agreed so readily.”

Qian Jinming spoke helplessly, watching the direction in which Ye Qingming had left.

“These things, if we didn’t know, it would be fine. But knowing and truly keeping ourselves out of it— even if the old folks at home don’t say anything about me, do you think my niece will let her cousin get away with it?”

The spirit monster froze, recalling the noble lady whom he had only met once but dared not refute.

Although he had just seen that young lady from afar, he clearly sensed that she was definitely not someone easy to deal with.

“Under… understood…”

The spirit monster, not daring to argue, hurried to the Ye Mansion.

In the instant after the spirit monster left, something occurred to Qian Jinming as her eyes darted.

“No, this matter must be urgently reported to the clan again; otherwise, I’m afraid there might be trouble.”

The matters in Southern Xinjiang, the Qian family’s main house indeed decided to stay out of.

But since it concerns Su Chengyu, Qian Jinming had no choice but to add one more precaution.

However, what Qian Jinming didn’t expect was that even though she reacted quickly, it was ultimately too late.

Just less than a week before events unfolded in the capital city.

On the sea surface at the border of Xia Country, an Azure Dragon led a group of Demon Clan members above Nascent Soul realm across the sea.

In the Bei Tang family in the north of Xia Country, Bei Tang Qian Xiao solemnly bade farewell to his grandfather and headed south.

Mount Qingcheng, within the Qingcheng Sect.

Having already become the Sect Leader, Chen Mengmeng silently lit three sticks of incense before the ancestor, then turned to the spirit hall, solemnly kowtowed three times in front of Cang Qing True Master’s tablet, and resolutely left.

This was the first time the young Sect Leader became a pillar of the Qingcheng Sect and descended the mountain. He knew that Qingcheng was now besieged on all sides, but he understood that he had to go this time.

Within the Yu Clan Cave Heaven, a woman in a green dress turned and glanced at the once familiar but now changed hometown, her face full of sorrow.

She didn’t understand why things had developed to this point, nor did she understand why the elders in the clan were acting so unscrupulously.

Compared to the fragmentation of the Cave Heaven itself, the harsh truths Yu Shuang knew were more unacceptable to her.

Southern Xinjiang, perhaps I can find some answers there.

Leaving the Yu Clan, stepping toward the south.

Bei Luo Empire, Linbei City.

This once great city, personally overseen by a War Emperor, didn’t decline after Qikefu left.

The full takeover by the royal family brought Linbei City a complete renewal; though much of the underground business disappeared, the frequency of merchant activities increased correspondingly.

“Your Majesty the Queen, do we really want to intervene in this matter? You should know, Prince Blair does not support this.”

“I know, that’s why I’m sending you. I trust my brother, I believe he made this decision for Bei Luo. But…”

“Your Majesty, it’s for that person, right?”

Irina smiled, “I believe only that person can save Bei Luo because the Xia Country has been extending its reach further and further…”

“Understood, I promise I won’t disappoint you.”

Dongying.

“Lord Seimei, even though there is sufficient information from the Koka Clan indicating that there will be great upheaval in Xia Country’s Southern Xinjiang, is it really worth you personally making the trip?”

The White Fox’s son, this onmyoji who became a Demon God years ago, smiled slightly.

“What, does His Majesty the Emperor intend to interfere with my decisions?”

“I wouldn’t dare…”

Abe no Seimei glanced at the visitor, “Remember, the mistakes Dongying made back then, the Xia Citizens won’t forget. Besides relying on us, you have no other choice.”

Coldly throwing down these words, Abe no Seimei directly flung the visitor away.

Then, Abe no Seimei’s gaze fell on two intelligence reports on the table that he was particularly concerned with.

One was sent from the Koka Clan, concerning the upheaval in Southern Xinjiang and the possible connections involved.

He didn’t doubt the authenticity of this information, as it directly implicated Su Chengyu, and he knew that the current Koka Clan was particularly concerned about that man.

The other was sent from the Yihe Clan, regarding the Prime Minister of Xia, Ji Yaoguang, being the true heir of Dragon and Tiger. This matter didn’t originally relate much to Dongying.

However, after a series of cascading reactions following this matter, Xia Country has begun to exert pressure on other nations, and Dongying stood first in line to bear the brunt.

These two pieces of information were very important to Dongying.

But to Abe no Seimei personally, they weren’t of much significance.

The real reason he decided to go to Dongying was only one.

Turning his head, Abe no Seimei’s gaze fell on the portrait he had personally painted.

“Su Zhedian, you’ve finally come back. I wonder how many women you have around you this time?”

Deep in the heart of Xia Country, two furtive figures peeked out from a high building.

After carefully surveying the surroundings, she finally revealed herself, tightly wrapped from head to toe.

“We’ve finally shaken them off, alright, come out now, we’re free at last.”

The woman’s cheerful words ended as a short, timid little follower emerged nervously.

“Miss… are we really okay to leave home like this? What if the master finds out…”

“What are you afraid of? They promised me that once I entered Nascent Soul, I could take a long vacation and go wherever I want; this should be my right.”

“But, miss, the place you want to go to…”

“What’s wrong with Southern Xinjiang? I just want to go there, if you’re scared, you can go back by yourself, but you’re not allowed to disclose my whereabouts!”

The little girl looked troubled. She certainly didn’t dare to leave her young lady and go back alone; she understood that if she really left like that, there would be no chance of survival, even if the young lady pleaded for her.

“Miss, I still don’t understand why you must go to Southern Xinjiang.”

The woman’s bright eyes showed a determination as she looked southward and said,

“I have a premonition that the next time my brother appears, it will definitely be in that place.”
