Capítulo 2065: Chapter 545: Return to Xuandu City (First Update)
Sighing with emotion, An Yiqing reached out and tapped its little head, “It’s not that I’m not taking you back, but you’re not yet firmly established within the Dragon Clan. If you co back to Xuandu City with , are you going to leave this whole ss to your grandfather to handle? I think you should stay in the Dragon Clan for now. After you’ve resolved everything and the Dragon Clan is at peace, you can co to Xuandu City anyti to see .”
The Little Red Snake reluctantly nodded and lazily crawled onto Yin Xilin’s wrist.
Seeing this scene, An Yiqing rolled her eyes in her heart. This guy isn’t reluctant to leave her; it just doesn’t want that girl Lingling to leave!
The next day, An Yiqing and Yin Xilin went to bid farewell to the Old Clan Chief, who repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay. However, since An Yiqing had already made up her mind to leave, the Old Clan Chief had no choice but to give up. But he requested An Yiqing to delay her departure for a day so the people of the Dragon Clan could see her off.
An Yiqing thought for a mont and agreed.
Before long, news spread throughout the tribe that An Yiqing was leaving the Dragon Clan and heading ho. Everyone in the Dragon Clan was reluctant to let her go. Over the past few days, An Yiqing, having little to do, went from house to house offering free dical treatnt. She cured or alleviated various chronic illnesses that had plagued many elderly mbers of the Dragon Clan for years. To the people of the Dragon Clan, An Yiqing was a lifesaver and almost part of the family.
Now that she was leaving, it was hard for everyone to accept.
To express their gratitude to An Yiqing, the mbers of the Dragon Clan decided to hold a farewell banquet that night in her honor.
That evening, by the Luo River, a bonfire was set up high. The people of the Dragon Clan sang and danced, offering their sincerest blessings to An Yiqing.
An Yiqing accepted the gifts one by one and promised to visit the Dragon Clan when she had ti in the future. A large group of people chatted and laughed, spending a night that was both joyful and sowhat sad.
The next day, early in the morning, An Yiqing left the Dragon Clan, carried by Hongye. Only Long Zixuan, Elder Jin, and the Old Clan Chief were there to see her off. Before she left, she issued her first order as the new Pavilion Master of the Sky Punishnt Pavilion.
The na Sky Punishnt Pavilion was too ominous and was changed to Dragon Roar Hall.
Dragon naturally represents the Dragon Clan. Roar, sounding like “Ming,” represents Situ Ming. This was An Yiqing’s tribute to the Ancestor of the Dragon Taming Clan, Situ Ming, signifying that Situ Ming’s soul had returned to its roots.
After settling this matter, An Yiqing set off back to Xuandu City with Yin Xilin.
April is the most anticipated ti of the year. This month, the flowers bloom brightly, the willow branches sway gracefully, the clear waters convey emotions, and the mountains are lush and green, with every place infused with fragrance. The sky becos increasingly bright and sunny, and gradually warr. As the saying goes, “One night a spring breeze arrives, a thousand trees and pear blossoms bloom,” and later, “You are the swallow twittering on the beams, the April sky in the human world,” all which reveal the yearning and imagination people have for April.
At Xuandu International Airport, a streamlined airplane slowly settled on the tarmac. After a while, at the exit of the passage, a graceful woman in a white trench coat erged. Beside her was a little girl carved in pink jade. The little girl wore a water-blue coat, her fair little face frad by a fluffy collar, looking very cute.
The pair, with their striking beauty, imdiately attracted everyone’s attention as soon as they appeared at the airport.
An Yiqing had packed all her luggage into the Ancient Space, returning empty-handed by plane from the airport closest to Li Langge Sanu Peak. Leading Yin Xilin by the hand, she leisurely headed for the exit. There, a tall figure had been waiting for so ti.
“Niuniu! Over here!”
A low call reached An Yiqing. She looked into the distance and broke into a radiant smile when she saw who it was.
At the exit stood An Zhihang in a light gray business suit, smiling gently as he looked at An Yiqing.
Last night, upon hearing of An Yiqing’s return, the entire An Family had argued over who would pick her up at the airport. According to An Yiqing, she could co back on her own. However, as granddaughter-obsessed, daughter-obsessed, and sister-obsessed as they were, the An Family couldn’t allow that. Gu Yelin had been too busy with the military to spare ti, and seizing this rare opportunity, they couldn’t let their precious one return alone.
Finally, after a “life and death duel,” An Zhihang won the chance to pick her up.
“Brother, aren’t you going to the office today?” An Yiqing walked up to An Zhihang with Yin Xilin, and the two embraced warmly.
After releasing An Yiqing, An Zhihang affectionately patted Yin Xilin’s head. “It’s okay to take a few days off once in a while. Niuniu, grandma has already made a big table of dishes at ho, just waiting for you to co back and eat.”
ntioning Old Lady An imdiately brought a bright, toothy smile to An Yiqing’s face. Her longing for her family deepened, and her desire to see them grew stronger.
The three quickly left the airport and drove towards the An Family Villa.
“Little sis, there’s been so upheaval recently. Ah Lin, being a Major General, is quite busy. He asked to tell you last night that he might be back late today and not to wait for him.” An Zhihang explained while driving.
An Yiqing nodded, her mind racing. “Is sothing happening soon?”
An Zhihang suddenly glanced at An Yiqing through the rearview mirror with a strange look in his eyes, and even his tone bore so oddity.
“Niuniu, there’s an election in three months. You didn’t forget that, did you?”
An Yiqing was slightly stunned. She slapped her forehead after a mont. Could she really have forgotten?
In three months, there’s going to be a new election.
“Being away for a month, I feel like I’ve almost detached from this circle.” She chuckled wryly and shook her head. “Brother, does Grandpa Hua have confidence this ti?”
There has never been a concept of re-election in the past, but both Hua Zhifeng and Pei Yuanzhi have impressive track records. Most crucially, the situation now seems a bit peculiar.
An Zhihang shook his head and sighed. “It’s hard to say right now. Being re-elected would certainly be good, but public opinion is difficult to control. The King has already prepared to support the Wu Faction.”
An Yiqing understood imdiately, not surprised at all. The Wu Faction, after all, is in-laws with the Shen Family. Although Shen Long and Shen Feng’s father wasn’t very promising, their mother is the Wu Family’s daughter. Old Master Wu has four children; Shen Long and Shen Feng’s mother Wu Qian is the youngest. Among them, Wu Fan, the oldest, holds a high position in politics and is a hot candidate for the elections this ti.
The An Family typically never got involved in these matters. Although Old Master An holds an extraordinary position and enjoys a good relationship with Old Master Shen, he always maintained a neutral, low-profile stance. If not for An Yiqing this year, perhaps Old Master An would remain as low-key as ever.
But that was not the case. The Kang Faction, which is at odds with the Wu Faction, allied themselves by marriage with the Guh Family, who are An Yiqing’s archenemies. The eldest daughter of the Guh Family is fixated on An Yiqing’s husband, which made the An Family decisively choose a side and support the Wu Faction.
And although Elder Gu has always stayed out of these affairs, with Gu Yelin holding a high position in the military and An Yiqing being at odds with the Guh Family, everyone could see the connections clearly.
Thus, it seed the Kang Faction didn’t hold much chance of winning. Even with the support from the Guh Family, the alliance between the An Family and the Gu Family made it hard for them to match.
However, after An Yiqing went to the Dragon Clan, the situation in Xuandu changed significantly.
Many in the circle, whether due to threats or prior preparations, shifted from neutrality to openly supporting the Kang Faction, clarifying their stand. anwhile, a highly ranked figure in the Wu Faction was set up during a al gathering, leading to a severe fall from grace.
This created a considerable impact in Xuandu, exploited by the Kang Faction to great effect, amplifying the incident to extres, which caused upper managent to take notice and order a thorough investigation.
It was unfortunate for that figure. At that level, who doesn’t have a few skeletons in their closet? But, he just happened to get caught red-handed.
As this issue escalated, even mbers of the Wu Family began to be implicated. Eventually, Wu Fan personally went to the An Family, seeking Old Master An’s help.
The shrewd Old Master An said little, but a few days later, evidence of a major cri committed by a mber of the Kang Faction was placed on the senior officials’ desks.
