An Impossible Task

Yi Xuan never expected that Lin Li, as Zhuo Ning's Butler, would go to such lengths to protect him.

Looking at it from another angle, doesn't this also demonstrate Lin Li's loyalty to Zhuo Ning?

In order to rescue Zhuo Ning, he even went so far as to help Yi Xuan block the attacks of Tribulation Transcendence expert.

He wasn't even sure if Yi Xuan really had the ability to rescue Zhuo Ning.

Just because he felt there was a possibility, he immediately flew over to block it.

At this moment, Lin Li, who was spitting blood, was already unable to stand.

Fortunately, the elderly men stepped forward and caught him in time, preventing him from falling.

The old man who had intervened earlier fed Lin Li a pill.

Seeing that his pale complexion had improved, the elders quickly said that the previous matter was over and they would not make things difficult for Yi Xuan anymore.

After he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Yi Xuan.

But Yi Xuan's expression remained unchanged; as he glanced at the old men, the mockery in his eyes persisted.

Only when their gaze fell upon Lin Li did the mockery vanish, replaced by an expression of admiration.

"Oh! Steward Lin, it seems they don't appreciate your kindness at all; they didn't even say thank you!"

"Indeed, but alright, for Steward Lin's sake, we'll let it go!"

"I really want to know what sect taught this disciple; he's a disgrace!"

"Stop talking, let's think about how to rescue Prince Ning!"

"That makes sense! However, when Prince Ning returns, we'll need him to judge this matter!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

It's unclear whether they genuinely gave Lin Li face or for some other reason.

The group exchanged a few words, indicating they would no longer argue with Yi Xuan, but the sarcasm in their tone was even stronger than the sarcasm in Yi Xuan's eyes.

After seeing Lin Li take the bullet for him, Yi Xuan decided to ignore those people.

As his gaze met Lin Li's, Yi Xuan nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry, based on what you just did, I guarantee Zhuo Ning will be safe!"

Previously, Mingming still had doubts about whether Yi Xuan could save Zhuo Ning.

But Yi Xuan's words immediately relieved Lin Li.

He didn't understand why either, but it seemed as if Yi Xuan's words had some kind of magic, instantly maximizing their credibility in Lin Li's mind.

The old men, however, seemed to find Yi Xuan's words as a joke.

"We're giving Manager Lin face, but does he really think he can do whatever he wants?"

"Qi Refining Realm! I've heard that the minimum requirement for soldiers in the Immortal Dynasty's army is Foundation Establishment! What can a Qi Refining Realm do?"

"I heard that the waiters at the better restaurants are only at the Qi Refining Realm? Haha, a waiter wants to rescue someone from the High Antiquity Sect? Am I hearing things?!"

Having taken the medicine and recovered, Steward Lin heard their mockery of Yi Xuan again, and a bitter smile appeared on his face once more.

After that, he could only grit his teeth, turn around, and Yi Xuan with his eyes not to worry about it.

But the person he met with remained completely calm and collected.

That's right, Yi Xuan no longer wants to respond to the old men's barking.

For someone with cognitive impairment, your explanation is a waste of breath.

What Yi Xuan needs to do now is to shut them up with facts as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, he asked Lin Li, "Zhuo Ning is here to pick up the Emperor and Princess of the Liang Kingdom, isn't he?"

"That's right!"

Lin Li nodded.

"What about the agreed time and place?"

"Ten days to go, the location is Autumn Leaf City, on the border between the Immortal Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom!"

Ten days! Autumn Leaf City!

As Yi Xuan muttered to himself, a huge map was appearing in his mind.

It is a map showing the entire territory of the Central Continent!

Three bright spots quickly appeared on the map, located in the center, the far west, and the far east of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.

At the center is naturally the Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty, where Yi Xuan is currently located. To the far east is the Clear Wind Pavilion, and to the far west is the Autumn Leaf City mentioned earlier.

In other words, they have ten days to travel from the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom to the far east of the kingdom to rescue Zhuo Ning, and then send him to the far west to welcome the Liang Kingdom family.

Even if we can rescue Zhuo Ning from the Clear Wind Pavilion, and they do send Zhuo Ning out, it will take at least ten days to get Zhuo Ning to Autumn Leaf City.

This is simply impossible!

The old men all shook their heads, including the two Loose Immortal immortals among them.

This is Central Continent, not some remote place like Southern Frontier.

Even traveling from east to west through the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom, it would take a One-Tribulation Loose Immortal more than ten days to fly at full speed.

Now, they have to go from the middle to the far east, and they may even have to fight against Three-Tribulation Loose Immortal. Just thinking about it makes the old men's scalps tingle.

However, because of Yi Xuan's previous taunts, they couldn't directly say no at this moment.

For a moment, everyone in the courtyard fell silent.

Only the old man who had just Tribulation Transcendence Yi Xuan to have thought of something, and looked at Lin Li with a smile, saying, "Steward Lin, didn't this friend of Prince Ning just boast that he could rescue Prince Ning? We old folks also want to see his amazing skills!"

Upon hearing this, the other elders immediately echoed his sentiments, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at the elder who had spoken.

It's as if it's saying, "You're so smart!"

Lin Li, however, looked troubled. He glanced at the elders and then at Yi Xuan, momentarily speechless.

Yi Xuan glanced at the group of old men and muttered, "They've got no skill, but they talk too much!"

Then, without waiting for the old men to respond, he waved his hand, and a huge virtual screen appeared in the center of the courtyard.

The screen was displaying three people, two of whom were standing to one side, their bodies ramrod straight, their eyes unblinking, as if they were carrying out some important mission.

He would only occasionally glance back at the third person, and once he saw that the person was unharmed, he would resume his wary demeanor.

As for the third person, he was sitting cross-legged inside a semi-transparent protective shield.

Although they hadn't seen each other for several years, Yi Xuan recognized the person at a glance—it was Zhuo Ning!

"It's Prince Ning! It really is Prince Ning!"

Lin Li, who was standing next to Yi Xuan, was naturally excited when he suddenly saw Zhuo Ning.

At the same time, a voice came from among the old men. "Steward Lin, don't be fooled. That's just ordinary Imaging Technique. If Steward Lin wants to see it, I can watch it for you all day!"

Just as the old man was being self-righteous, Yi Xuan opened his mouth directly at Zhuo Ning on the screen.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, greetings!"

On the screen, Zhuo Ning seemed startled, suddenly opening her eyes and beginning to survey her surroundings.

The two guards noticed his movements and quickly turned around to look, but none of them found anything.

Zhuo Ning pondered for a moment, as if he had remembered something, and his mouth opened slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, Yi Xuan interrupted him in time, "Communicate with your mind, don't open your mouth!"

"Yi Xuan?"

Without Zhuo Ning speaking on the screen, his voice actually came directly into the courtyard.

The old man who had spoken earlier now looked extremely grim.
