Chapter Ninety: Wu Qihai's Successive Stratagems

More than two more months passed. Over the past several months, under Ye Cheng’s management, the wholesale business in medicinal herbs had completely settled onto the proper track, and the Su father and son had successively paid Ye Cheng profit dividends amounting to roughly twenty million.

After receiving the twenty million, Ye Cheng did not think of spending it. Instead, he chose several fairly good locations in Liuzhou and rented a number of storefronts. These shops also dealt in Chinese herbal medicines.

Then Zhang Yan’s vision blurred, and she was transported to a gloomy ancient castle, where she herself was locked in a dungeon.

Yan Huohuo shot him a sharp look and flicked out a whip without the slightest hesitation. The dark red fire whip cut across more than half the training field and lashed directly onto Yuan Bei.

Hearing the cry of alarm from the light-element ability user, the three beast-form ability users braked in time, and the ice-element ability user controlling the brakes on the armored vehicle also released the frost-covered brake plate.

Once this mission was completed, after he returned to the capital, he would begin making preparations. By then, he would see how long Cao Shaoqin could keep dancing around.

He had originally wanted to rescue as many people as possible in an orderly manner, but since things had come to this, there was no longer any need to keep it secret.

By now, Luo’s Shop, Drunken Immortal Tower, and Fragrant Orchid Garden were all operating steadily. Lu Wanting, however, was growing rather bored; whenever she had nothing to do, she would make medicinal pills, play the zither, or go to the general’s estate to practice swordsmanship with her senior sister.

Brother Xian deliberately wiped at the corner of his eye, tugged Zhao Lina to a halt, and said, “How about this: you and Mom move into the new house. We can hire a housekeeper. What do you think?”

In the space of a moment, a rich fragrance drifted from the kitchen. After walking such a long way in the afternoon, everyone was already starving, and that aroma tormented them until they could neither sit still nor stand at ease.

People of this kind were few and far between. The old immortal of Wudang Mountain was one; there was also a grandmaster within the imperial palace, though he seldom showed himself in ordinary times.

It had to be said that once the rank of an occupation cultivator rose high enough, the offensive power was indeed earthshaking. It was just that, because of insufficient defense, they tended to appear somewhat weak in large-scale battles. But that did not mean their true strength was poor.

He Xuezheng also, like Sun Xingyuan, cupped his fists and bowed, waiting for Mu Xiecheng’s next instruction.

Prince Night Moon was stunned. Just like that, he had changed back? One had to know that the disguise process itself was painfully agonizing.

Old Hei nodded. Lingxiao and Old Hei did not know what dishes to order either, so in the end they simply let Boss Li decide, since no one knew his restaurant better than he did.

Of course, achieving this was actually quite difficult, but Qian Rujun did not care. She treated it as an exam question: how to get the food into the soldiers’ hands and the constables’ hands would be up to them to figure out.

My words won everyone’s agreement, and Florod was here as well, listening to my arrangements. We were preparing to set out again, and before that I still explained a few matters to this friend.

“Everyone, I’m from Longxing Company. I’ve come in to handle the recruitment matter! Please make way!” Hearing Zhu Siqi say this, everyone immediately and automatically cleared a path for him to enter.

Forget it. After searching for a while, I no longer placed any hope in it. I gathered a few wild fruits in passing and was preparing to leave, when at that very moment the familiar black shadow appeared before me once more.

“Yes. There are two groups in all. One group has two people—an old man and a young one, a grandfather and grandson pair—within a li ahead of us. They have been following us for three days. The other group is twenty zhang behind us, four people, and has been there for half a day.” Nangong Ling said without turning his head.

The next moment, Fuxi felt that the space around him seemed to be undergoing a bizarre change, as though it were being compressed without limit.

“Third Lady, I have already discussed it with Mother Empress, with Wan’er, and with the Imperial Uncle-Grandfather and the others. Three days from now, I will marry you,” Liu Bian said tenderly to Huo Sanniang in his arms.

However, the Spirit Specter Flute could only force the Ghost King of Wraiths to reveal himself; it had no ability to control him at all. And Yun Ling had said they were to take back the mine cavern. Even if they drew out the boss, the thousands of players from Eternal were not to be underestimated.
