"President Su, please don’t get agitated." Ailina quickly grabbed Su Qingyu’s hand. Chen Yuxin was far more terrifying than she had imagined. Though Su Qingyu was equally smart and dignified towards outsiders, she was inherently kind-hearted. Especially since Chen Yuxin was Ye Shikai’s first love, and Ye Shikai had previously concealed many things about Chen Yuxin from her. Su Qingyu was completely unaware of Chen Yuxin’s capabilities. If she went to confront her now, the two won would at best have a quarrel, at worst... if Chen Yuxin were to beco enraged, she could do sothing that might endanger Su Qingyu.
Moreover, one of Ailina’s responsibilities, which was also her most important task, was to protect her safety.
Su Qingyu did not know how intense Chen Yuxin’s jealousy could be, and once she lost control, she could do unexpected things...
"Ye Shikai has disappeared. She must know the situation." Su Qingyu was quite stubborn. This ti was different from before. Ye Shikai had been missing for one or two months, and there was no sign or news. Chen Yuxin could "peacefully" stay in Yanjing. Had she known this, Su Qingyu might have regretted her initial decision.
"President Su, even if she does know, she probably won’t tell you. Instead, she will suspect you." Ailina had spent much effort convincing Su Qingyu, the woman before her was courageous enough to go to the Holy Mountain alone in search of soone. Even if she faced an insurmountable challenge, as long as it was for Ye Shikai, she was willing to do it.
"Your relationship with Miss Chen is special, and it’s inappropriate for you to go and question her now, anyway." Su Qingyu understood the subtext in Ailina’s words. Strictly speaking, she and Ye Shikai were no longer married, yet she was making a special effort to find Chen Yuxin just for Ye Shikai’s matters. What was she up to?
Su Qingyu was so anxious that she stomped her feet. She was just a "forr wife" now, and wasn’t in a position to ddle in Ye Shikai’s affairs either publicly or privately.
"President, you need not worry too much. He is just missing for now. Miss Ji has already led a team searching extensively around the Holy Mountain but hasn’t found a trace of him. I’m sure he has a guardian angel and will turn peril into safety." Ailina softly comforted Su Qingyu, finally dispelling her thoughts.
"I won’t go find Chen Yuxin, but I must go to Miss Ji to get clear answers." Su Qingyu’s tone shifted. Ji Qian had been silently helping Ye Shikai all along, and their relationship was fairly good. She was sure Ji Qian would be able to clarify the situation.
"Alright, President, I’ll notify her right away."
anwhile, at the Yanjing base.
"Lord War God, how are your injuries?" These days, Wang Kai’s inner circle dared not rest. They sat vigil outside the room day and night. After treatnt from Dugu Tianke, Wang Kai had fallen into a coma, ultimately waking up three days later. Beyond that, he still needed to recuperate.
"Don’t worry, at least I’ve scraped by with my life." Wang Kai’s face was still a bit pale, looking like soone who had barely recovered from a serious illness. He felt dissatisfied thinking back; even during his bloody battle with Zeus, he’d never been this shabby. But now, a woman had nearly wiped out his entire base. The more severely he was injured, the more resolute he beca. Back at the War God Temple, he had watched his trusted followers perish at Doris’s hands to cover for him, and so he vowed not to be human until he avenged them.
Bang.
Suddenly, the room’s door slowly opened, and it was Ji Qian who had co in.
"Lord Moon God."
"Lord Moon God."
Upon seeing Ji Qian, the people gathered there saluted one after another, acknowledging that without her help, they might have ended up spending nights in the streets with Wang Kai.
"How is your recovery?" Ji Qian inquired.
"Almost there, even if you asked to fight now, I could. " Wang Kai swung his arms around with an unyielding pose, but everyone knew that in terms of combat capability, he wouldn’t even reach thirty percent of his usual condition.
"Alright, you better focus on healing." Ji Qian gestured with her hand for everyone to leave the room.
"You have sothing to say, right?" Wang Kai asked.
"Yes." Ji Qian did not deny it and got straight to the point, "Do you know about the imminent opening of the Huaxia Kunlun Mountain relics?"
"Oh, you an that? I’ve heard about it long ago." Wang Kai nodded and said.
"Rumor has it there’s an energy within the Secret Realm of Kunlun Mountain capable of traversing ti and space, and the legends about the Holy Mountain also ntion a similar Secret Realm, so..."
"You don’t an to say that Old Ye ti-traveled at the Holy Mountain, do you?" Even before Ji Qian finished speaking, Wang Kai impatiently interjected.
"It’s rely a guess. If not, I can’t think of another explanation. We’ve searched the Holy Mountain for so long without finding a clue." Ji Qian’s idea sounded indeed "insane," but it sparked Wang Kai’s spirit. They couldn’t accept Ye Shikai’s disappearance, so any opportunity to probe for answers would be welco.
"So, are you planning to investigate at Kunlun Mountain?" Wang Kai tested the waters.
"Yes, that’s right. As long as there’s any chance, I won’t give up."
"Alright, get straight to the point. When? I’m ready at any ti." Wang Kai stood up from the bed instantly, donned his clothes, knowing Ji Qian sought his assistance. Though gravely injured, with Dugu Tianke’s treatnt, full recovery was rely a matter of ti. Having a Main God by her side would be a trendous help, giving Ji Qian confidence.
"In a week."
"A week... No problem, by then my wounds should be healed, and I’ll take my brothers and go with you." Wang Kai agreed cheerfully, acknowledging that he was partly responsible for Ye Shikai’s mishap at the Holy Mountain. Moreover, if they could rescue him, dealing with Doris in the future would beco easier. This ti, the Netherworld Palace warriors would accompany them as well, since the Three Temples had always been "allied" and should not be absent this ti.
"That’s good, focus on healing these days."

Qin Dynasty, military camp.
"These days, Ma Yao has steadily transferred many garrison troops over, supposedly handing them over for our training and dispatch." Shangguan Jian looked at the troops coming from all directions and couldn’t help but feel sowhat troubled. After all, the larger the number, the harder it is to manage an army.
"How many have arrived?" Ye Shikai asked calmly without showing any displeasure.
"Around... more than three thousand. Our barracks are almost full, but Ma Yao has already sent people over for expansion." Shangguan Jian turned and complained "He transferred so many people at once without any prior notice. He’s obviously trying to wear us out."
"I don’t see it that way." Ye Shikai shook his head. Historically, the frontline soldiers have always been the driving force for any regi. He’d thought much these days; wanting to establish a foothold in this chaotic era ant having an army.
