Qian Renxue lay on the stone bed for a while and gradually fell asleep.
What happened tonight was more tiring than a whole day of official business.
After an unknown amount of time, a rustling sound came from outside the secret room.
" Laifu, are you sure the smell is down there?"
"Sir... my nose is exactly what it told me, it's absolutely right..."
Snap!
Thump...
"A piece of trash... Never mind, Old Snake, go down and check, what if the young master comes back?"
"Alright, you take this guy and sneak away first. If it doesn't work, we'll have him search outside the city again!"
After saying that, the two began to act.
Upon entering the secret chamber, Snake Lance immediately spotted Qian Renxue lying on the bed.
"Young Master!"
Snake Lance shouted loudly, but Qian Renxue didn't react at all.
Snake Lance's heart nearly died.
He cautiously approached Qian Renxue, carefully sensing her with his Soul Power before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, the young master's heart is still beating; he's just asleep... but why is his face a little red?
Thinking this, the Snake Lance retreated dejectedly.
This is a scene he shouldn't be watching.
Silence returned to the secret room.
After being disturbed, Qian Renxue did not wake up. She just frowned, turned over, and mumbled in her sleep.
"... Wang Xiaoming... you bastard."
"Don't... stop."
After Wang Xiaoming returned home, he did not disturb anyone.
Ning Rongrong was taken to her room by Xiao Wu and placed under strict supervision.
To prevent her from running away again.
the next day.
Wind Salt City, on the border of the Star Luo Empire.
In a small alley within the city, a Dimensional Wall quietly unfolds.
Three figures emerged from it, and then the Dimensional Wall disappeared.
It was Wang Xiaoming and his group who had come here to search for the Breaking Clan.
Wang Dong'er walked down the street arm in arm with Wang Xiaoming, a big smile on her face.
"Brother, you can't do that again next time! Didn't you see how angry Teacher Qin Ming almost fainted when we left?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoming raised an eyebrow.
"Really? Then I'll bring Rongrong Xiao Wu next time. I was even thinking of taking that heartless little thing to see the Flower Goddess Festival, which she really wanted to see."
I never expected that all my efforts would only result in your lack of understanding... Sigh.
"Oh dear, I was wrong, brother. I was just saying it casually... Why are you taking it so seriously..."
Wang Dong'er looked aggrieved and clung to Wang Xiaoming's arm, shaking it back and forth.
When a girl acts cute and charming, it's true that people can forgive everything.
But...
This will not be repeated.
Wang Xiaoming reached out and tapped Dong'er on the head twice, clearly annoyed.
As a form of punishment.
Wang Dong'er stuck out her tongue.
The brother spoke harshly, but he couldn't even bring himself to hit her hard.
She'll do it again!
Early in the morning, Wang Xiaoming put Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong into the Imperial Fighting Team.
Wang Dong'er took the opportunity to relax and accompanied Wang Xiaoming to this place.
Of course, Wang Xiaoming also told Dugu Yan to go find Dugu Bo.
He said... he has a way to cure the poison in these two people, grandfather and grandson.
Upon learning this news, Dugu Yan hurriedly returned to Heaven Dou City.
Qin Ming was somewhat bewildered by this scene.
That Wang Xiaoming, just when the Imperial Fighting Team was starting to gel, he always manages to cause trouble for himself.
They keep replacing team members... and they even have the audacity to say that they want everyone to rotate and get used to each other, so that no one can be left behind.
Even with Qin Ming's temperament, he couldn't help but want to curse.
After all, the one with the least teamwork and who never trains is this little bastard!
Dong'er still can't help but laugh when she thinks back to Qin Ming's expression.
Only her good brother could have managed to make someone as good-tempered as Teacher Qin Ming so angry.
Zhu Meiyu followed quietly behind the two, like a qualified bodyguard, without saying a word.
However... watching Wang Xiaoming and the young lady interact, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
A harmonious family gives her more peace of mind than any promise of money.
The three of them strolled around and soon arrived at their destination.
A large pharmacy called Breaking Seal Hall.
Because the territory of the Breaking Clan is relatively hidden.
Zhu Meiyu could only bring Wang Xiaoming to the Breaking Clan's assets and search upstream along this line, layer by layer.
Of course, Wang Xiaoming didn't mind at all.
He was rather easygoing when it came to subduing forces.
Those who are willing to submit will submit, and those who can be bribed will also be bribed.
As for refusing... it doesn't necessarily turn them into enemies.
That's how it is.
He wasn't so insane as to insist on unifying the continent.
Wang Xiaoming looked at Wang Dong'er beside him.
"I'll take Meiyu inside to inquire about some information. Dong'er, you stay here and explore. We'll meet here later."
Wang Dong'er nodded obediently.
There are some things that don't require her involvement, and there's no need for her to force herself to get involved.
It wouldn't be good if I upset my brother.
She's a woman who knows how to maintain appropriate boundaries.
Wang Xiaoming rubbed her head and then walked into the shop.
Wang Dong'er then browsed the surrounding stalls.
Just then, a cacophony of sounds came from the street, along with the rhythmic marching of a well-organized procession.
Wang Dong'er looked over curiously.
A group of people and horses were seen walking in from the direction of the city gate.
Judging from the insignia on the team, it was clearly the Spirit Hall.
Wang Dong'er took this as normal action by the Spirit Hall people and didn't care at all.
Just then...
"Hey, why is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall here again? She doesn't seem to be the last one."
"Did you just receive news from your village? The previous generation's saintess is now the Pope. This saintess is the current Pope's personal disciple."
"They're probably here to preach and spread their faith again, and maybe they can help out the orphans here."
"Coming to the Star Luo Empire to do these things? I wonder if something big will happen this time. Last time, they almost got into a fight with the royal family..."
"Who cares? We won't benefit from either side winning. Let's just watch them fight like dogs."
Dong'er overheard every word of the whispers among the passersby.
She frowned slightly.
These Star Luo Empire people are incredibly bold.
Do people even dare to talk about the royal family and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall in the street?
Either they're not afraid of death.
Either he's a hothead.
However, judging from what they said, the waters inside the Star Luo Empire seem to be quite deep.
She only paid a slight attention to it before Dong'er's focus returned to the stall.
As long as it doesn't affect her brother, everything else is none of her business.
Within the Spirit Hall's entourage.
A woman in a white and gold uniform was quietly lifting the curtain of a carriage to observe the city.
Seeing the woman's curiosity about the city's scenery, a fiery red figure sitting opposite her became increasingly solicitous.
" Nana, we'll be staying here for a few days this time. After the handover is complete, how about we take a stroll around the city?"
What do you think, Xie Yue?
