Capítulo 1052: Chapter 1052: Resettlent
In the end, Boss Xing had already found the location of the Netherworld Palace base. He took advantage of the emptiness to launch an attack. The purpose might have been to give Netherworld Palace a warning or to clear out the base and bring more trouble to Netherworld Palace. After all, Ghost had carefully considered the location when choosing the base. Selecting the location alone took a long ti, not to ntion the setup of all the equipnt. It would take at least two months to rebuild a base.
Ye Shikai had already discussed with Ji Qian that during the reconstruction of the base, Netherworld Palace would stay at the Moon God Temple base until the base is rebuilt.
The Moon God Temple base.
“You all recover well and return to your posts when you’re healed,” Ye Shikai carefully instructed the injured Hidden Guards. Fortunately, Ji Qian’s base had many empty rooms, mostly used for accommodating personnel.
“Ghost, find so people to bury our fallen brothers and choose a place with good feng shui,” Ye Shikai sighed lightly.
“Boss, those brothers’ bodies… we can’t find them anymore.” Ghost was sowhat troubled. Before leaving, Boss Xing had specifically dealt with those bodies. It’s hateful, not even sparing the dead.
“Then erect a cenotaph.” Ye Shikai was stunned for a mont, then said it lightly.
“Yes, I’ll handle it right away.” Ghost nodded. These brothers sacrificed their lives for Netherworld Palace. Although they didn’t end well, at least… their death should be dignified.
“Also, find out where Ailina is. It’s best to locate Boss Xing directly. Use all available personnel. I still don’t believe Ailina would die so easily.” Ye Shikai felt uneasy. Ailina was very close to him, and Ye Shikai had always entrusted her with Su Qingyu’s protection. Frankly, when he heard the base was attacked, his first thought was whether Ailina was okay.
“Yes, rest assured. I’ve already sent people out, but… the incident happened suddenly, and it might not be easy to find her.”
“If it’s difficult, bring in the Worm to help. Since the Mothn are out, I don’t believe they won’t slip up.”
“Understood.”
“Lord Moon God.”
“Lord Moon God.”
At this mont, the Moon Guards all bowed towards the door. Ye Shikai turned his head, and it was Ji Qian who arrived.
“Thanks a lot this ti,” Ye Shikai smiled slightly and waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
“You don’t need to thank .” Ji Qian handed Ye Shikai a cup of water, “This incident was indeed sudden. The Moon Guards received the ssage and rushed to assist, but they were still a step late.”
“Forget it, they’ve been conspiring for a long ti. At least the Moon Guards saved the lives of my brothers, or else none of them would have survived.” Ye Shikai scratched his head helplessly, troubled both internally and externally. Even Yanjing was restless.
“In any case, be careful in the future. If you need help, just let know.” Ji Qian knew Ye Shikai was in a bad mood now and didn’t want to disturb him further, letting him have so quiet ti.
Ye Shikai inspected the Moon God Temple base: automated machine guns, surveillance extended three kiloters before the base, and escape routes. Now with so many people here, even if Boss Xing ca again, he’d have to think twice.
………………………………
Thud, thud, thud.
Ye Shikai stood before the door, his emotions complex, finally deciding to knock.
Almost the mont he knocked, the door opened, and Ye Shikai looked at the woman before him, montarily forgetting what to say.
“Qingyu.”
“Any news on Ailina?” Su Qingyu asked directly.
“Not… not yet.” Ye Shikai shook his head, his face looking sowhat disappointed.
“It’s all my fault.” Suddenly, Su Qingyu burst into tears, “If I hadn’t looked for the Soul Destroyer, this wouldn’t have happened.” Su Qingyu kept blaming herself, crying like a tearful ss. In Ye Shikai’s mory, she rarely wept so loudly, but this ti was different. Ailina’s fate was unknown, and Su Qingyu felt directly responsible. If she hadn’t requested the Soul Destroyer to take her to Chang’an, the base wouldn’t have been left vulnerable, and Boss Xing wouldn’t have succeeded in the ambush.
“There, there, don’t cry. It’s not your fault.” Ye Shikai wrapped her in his arms, comforting her softly.
“I will definitely save her.”
“Qingyu, take a good rest. Usually… be careful. I’ll have soone secretly protect you.” Ye Shikai feared Boss Xing might target Su Qingyu next. Boss Xing was difficult to deal with, but Ye Shikai had many weaknesses, and these weaknesses were as lethal as fatal injuries. The more leverage one had, the more constrained one beca, making it hard to act. No wonder it’s always said that emperors are the most heartless, especially those who achieve great things, who are not bound by trifles. Even a beloved woman is just a “trifle” in the face of great ambitions.
Perhaps, by Ye Shikai’s nature, he was destined to be a talent, but ultimately not soone suited for great achievents.
“Ahem, what are you two doing?” At this mont, a cool voice sounded behind them. Su Qingyu instinctively pushed Ye Shikai away, straightening her clothes. Ye Shikai was also startled. When he turned around, it was Luo Shiqi standing there.
Honestly, it seed like a long ti since he had seen her. After not seeing her for a while, she seed to have changed her hairstyle. Her straight long hair was now curly, and her hair color had changed to dark gold, softening her cold deanor into a touch of warmth.
“Shiqi, what brings you here?” Ye Shikai asked curiously.
“Two things.” Luo Shiqi smiled mysteriously, “What, aren’t you going to invite in for so tea?”
“Co on in.” Su Qingyu quickly wiped away her tears, inviting Luo Shiqi inside.
“That’s more like it.” Luo Shiqi unceremoniously sat on the sofa, placing two file folders on the table.
“This one’s for you, and this… is for him.” Luo Shiqi handed the two file folders to Su Qingyu and Ye Shikai, respectively.
“What’s in here?” Ye Shikai curiously wanted to open the file folder, but Luo Shiqi stopped him.
“Don’t be in such a hurry, check it when you get back.”
“Alright.” Ye Shikai beca even more curious. Luo Shiqi could be said to be the most independent woman he knew. She didn’t require much protection and wouldn’t often cling to Ye Shikai. Occasionally, when bored, she would invite him to the Dark Night Bar for a drink, chat about recent events, discuss troubles. The term “female friend” probably described her best. But it’s precisely because of this that if one day she ca looking for him, it must be sothing important.
“Shiqi, where have you been lately? I haven’t seen you in a while.” Ye Shikai felt a bit awkward, not knowing what to say.
“You’re talking about , but you usually ignore . What, do I have to co to make you rember ?” Luo Shiqi appeared quite displeased.
