He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing's words, Shui Qingli immediately agreed to his request.

As a result, the matter quickly became a hot topic.

That evening, Zhang Beixing suggested that he should leave the next day and reminded Shui Qingli to visit the Kyushu Empire a month later.

"I know, I'll definitely be free then, I promise."

Shui Qingli said she would arrange for someone to take them away the next day, as she was too busy with official duties to take them away herself.

Zhang Beixing naturally understood that she couldn't bear to face the scene of parting.

The next day, Shui Lili was responsible for taking Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling to the airport, and reminded Zhang Beixing to be careful, since many people were eyeing the Night Pearl.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Zhang Beixing said confidently.

Soon, Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling were sitting on the plane, the clouds outside the window churning below them. Zhang Beixing clutched the luminous pearl tightly, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.

"What do you think will happen when we go back? Will you be called a hero again?" Zhu Xiaoling suddenly asked.

“I don’t know either,” Zhang Beixing smiled. “But I do know that I must present this luminous pearl to the Kyushu Empire.”

The plane finally landed at the airport in the Kyushu Empire.

As soon as Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling stepped out of the airport, they saw a man in a police uniform walking towards them.

"You must be Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling?" the man asked.

"Yes." Zhang Beixing nodded.

"Please come with me." After saying that, the man led Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling into a police car.

The police car pulled up in front of a tall building. Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling followed the man into the lobby, where a female police officer in uniform walked towards them.

"Mr. Zhang Beixing, please come with me," the policewoman said.

Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling followed the policewoman into the elevator and arrived at a conference room.

A middle-aged man was sitting at the conference table.

“Mr. Zhang Beixing, I am an employee of the special department of the Kyushu Empire, and my name is Li Yu.”

The middle-aged man said, "I know you have a luminous pearl. You plan to offer it to the Nine Provinces Empire, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Beixing nodded.

"If you can dedicate it to the Kyushu Empire, you will become a hero of the Kyushu Empire."

Li Yu continued, "However, we need to authenticate the luminous pearl to determine its authenticity."

“No problem,” Zhang Beixing said. “I believe this luminous pearl is real.”

Therefore, Zhang Beixing handed the luminous pearl over to experts from the Kyushu Empire for appraisal.

After a series of tests and examinations, it was finally confirmed that the luminous pearl was genuine.

At the Kyushu Empire's press conference, Zhang Beixing became the focus of everyone's attention.

He proved his worth and courage through his actions.

Soon, Li Yu rewarded Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing was reluctant to accept it, but Li Yu gave him an example.

Confucius once told his disciples that if you always refuse the favors others do for you, it will make them feel disheartened.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing had no choice but to accept the reward.

That evening, Zhang Beixing and Zhu Xiaoling returned to their villa area in Haicheng.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Beixing lay down on the bed. It had been a long time since he had slept in his own bed, and it really felt different.

Zhu Xiaoling had the same feeling when she lay in bed.

Jiang Wenwu soon learned of this.

He immediately called a mysterious number and told them that Zhang Beixing and the Holy Maiden had returned.

"I know that the news about the luminous pearl has spread like wildfire throughout the city; it would be hard for me not to know."

Jiang Wenwu stated that he must get in touch with the saintess as soon as possible.

In this way, the cohesion of the Divine Dragon Gate will become stronger and stronger.

But how exactly should he approach them? He still hasn't figured it out.

Gao Wenliang soon called Zhang Beixing as well.

"Brother, you're finally back."

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Gao."

"I have been thinking about you. When you have time, I'll treat you to a drink. It's been so long since we last met."

Gao Wenliang even joked that being able to be with Zhang Beixing now was like being with a hero.

"Alright, those are just titles given to me by others, don't flatter me."

Zhang Beixing suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Let's get down to business. When can I invite you to dinner? When are you free?"

"Then let's do it tomorrow night."

Not long after, Zhang Beixing planned to tell Zhu Xiaoling the news.

He asked Zhu Xiaoling to go to the banquet with him the next night.

"Is he with Gao Wenliang again?"

Zhang Beixing found this very strange.

"How did you know?"

Zhu Xiaoling laughed and said that she had just guessed, but she was right.

She was very proud of her cleverness.

In the evening, Zhang Beixing decided to go out for a walk with Zhu Xiaoling.

Zhu Xiaoling readily agreed, while Jiang Wenwu secretly followed behind them.

After a while, Jiang Wenwu overheard their conversation.

Upon learning that they had a banquet the next night, he thought to himself that he must sneak over and find a way to get close to the saintess.

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed.

Just then, a phone call came in, and he could no longer continue the investigation.

Never mind, let's get down to business first.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at a shopping mall. Zhu Xiaoling wanted to go in and browse, so Zhang Beixing had no choice but to accompany her.

However, as they passed a counter, Zhu Xiaoling, with her sharp eyes, tugged at Zhang Beixing's clothes, signaling him to look ahead.

Zhang Beixing looked around and saw a familiar woman—Tian Wenjing. When did she come to Haicheng?
Zhu Xiaoling asked, "Brother Zhang Beixing, is she here for you?"

Zhang Beixing thought it was possible.

However, he didn't care and thought that he should use whatever means he had.

Tian Wenjing didn't notice them and went to another corner after buying her things.

Zhang Beixing felt that the trip was worthwhile.

At least he knew Tian Wenjing was here, which would give him some warning in the future, so he thanked Zhu Xiaoling.

“Brother Zhang Beixing, I think we shouldn’t have come here. If you knew this news, you might think about it every day and feel burdened. It would be better if you didn’t know.”

"Don't say that. I won't think about this every day, and she's not worth me thinking about every day."

The following evening, Zhang Beixing, Zhu Xiaoling, and Gao Wenliang dined at a large restaurant called Mingyue Lake.

Jiang Wenwu also quietly followed.

He thought he had hidden himself well and that Zhang Beixing definitely hadn't discovered him.

His table was several meters away from Zhang Beixing's.

Gao Wenliang said he particularly envied Zhang Beixing.

"What do I have to envy?"

"Of course there are things to be envious of; you are my idol."

Gao Wenliang also said that he didn't know when he would become a hero.

"But you have your own business and company, and you've made a great contribution to society."

Zhu Xiaoling said, "Alright, you two stop praising each other. You're both very capable."

As Jiang Wenwu sipped his tea, he pondered that the Holy Maiden wouldn't be leaving Zhang Beixing anytime soon. She hadn't acted alone, making it extremely difficult to take her away.

He didn't sleep a wink last night, thinking about this problem the whole time, but he couldn't come up with a good solution.

However, a few minutes later, the opportunity arose.

The boss told everyone to stop, saying he had something to say.

He apologized to everyone, saying that the restroom was broken and that anyone who needed to use the toilet should go to the public restroom outside. He was very sorry and hoped everyone would understand.

It turns out that a customer went in and found that it was unusable, so he complained. Therefore, the boss felt it was necessary to inform everyone.

After a while, Zhu Xiaoling told the two men that she was going to the public restroom outside.

Jiang Wenwu was overjoyed.

Well, here comes the opportunity.

It's like God is on my side, what do I have to worry about?

After Zhu Xiaoling left, he quietly followed her.

Zhang Beixing was engrossed in his conversation with Gao Wenliang and was completely unaware of anything unusual.

Jiang Wenwu found it amusing; everyone said Zhang Beixing was clever, but in his opinion, he was nothing special.

He immediately ran to the entrance of the public restroom and waited.

Two minutes later, Zhu Xiaoling came out.

Jiang Wenwu immediately stepped forward, looking at her with a smile.

Zhu Xiaoling felt uneasy under his gaze.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

“I have been waiting for you for a long time, Holy Maiden. I hope you will come with me.”

He has already called the mysterious figure; if the Holy Maiden doesn't cooperate, he will forcibly take her away.

Why are you bringing up the saint again?

Zhu Xiaoling immediately felt extremely disgusted.

Before she could react, Jiang Wenwu suddenly picked her up.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

Zhu Xiaoling's shouts were so loud that they finally alerted Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing was taken aback.

How is this going?

He quickly looked outside and saw that Jiang Wenwu had already carried Zhu Xiaoling away.

He rushed out, but Jiang Wenwu had already carried Zhu Xiaoling to the car and then quickly drove away.

Gao Wenliang never expected this to happen. He had kindly invited Zhang Beixing to dinner, but it seemed that the meal would not be possible now.

Gao Wenliang also rushed out quickly.

He shouted to Zhang Beixing, "Come on, take my car, let's chase after them together!"

Zhang Beixing nodded, and then Gao Wenliang started the car and drove Zhang Beixing after them.

Moreover, Zhang Beixing had already memorized the car's license plate number.

Zhang Beixing quickly dialed Zhu Xiaoling's number.

As soon as Zhu Xiaoling got on the bus, she was eager to get off.

However, Jiang Wenwu pressed down on her head with one hand and held something up with the other, saying fiercely, "You better behave yourself, or I'll knock you out!"

But Zhu Xiaoling refused to give in and struggled desperately, which made it impossible for Jiang Wenwu to drive properly.

Enraged, Jiang Wenwu actually knocked Zhu Xiaoling unconscious.

Jiang Wenwu muttered, "Holy Maiden, I know I've wronged you by doing this. I'm willing to apologize to you later, even kneel down, but I absolutely cannot let you ruin my important plans."

Therefore, when Zhang Beixing called, it was Jiang Wenwu who answered the phone.

"Zhang Beixing, I advise you not to call again, or I'll kill her right now!"

Of course, Jiang Wenwu wouldn't really do anything to Zhu Xiaoling.

But that was all he could say in order to scare Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing demanded, "Who exactly are you? Why are you doing this?"

"Because she is the Holy Maiden of our Divine Dragon Palace, I must take her away."

As he spoke, he remembered that wretched Dragon Palace, which he had almost forgotten about.

"I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!"

“Zhang Beixing, I should be the one saying this to you. I know you’ve been following me, and I advise you to stay away from me. Otherwise, if anything happens to the Holy Maiden, don’t blame me.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Beixing was so anxious that sweat poured down his forehead.

Gao Wenliang asked, "What exactly happened with the Holy Maiden?"

Zhang Beixing then explained the situation in detail.

Gao Wenliang analyzed, "Since they regard Zhu Xiaoling as a saint, regardless of whether this statement is correct or not, they certainly won't easily harm the saint."

Zhang Beixing said he understood this principle as well.

But the thought of Zhu Xiaoling's safety made it impossible for him to remain calm.

"I'm sorry, Zhang Beixing, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you out for dinner today."

Zhang Beixing quickly comforted him, "It's not your fault. It's all the work of those people behind the scenes. Even if we hadn't come out for dinner today, they would have found another way. Maybe they've been watching me for a while, but I'm just too stupid to notice. Has my vigilance really decreased since I came back?"

Jiang Wenwu quickly made another phone call.

He told the other party that the saintess was already in his car, but Zhang Beixing followed closely like a tail.

No matter what I said, he just wouldn't give up.

The other party told him to keep driving, and then used the saintess as a hostage at the crucial moment.

Everything will be arranged so he can rest easy.

At this moment, Zhang Beixing was somewhat at a loss.

He said to Gao Wenliang, "If it really doesn't work, let's not chase after them."

Gao Wenliang said, "How can that be? We have no idea where they're taking Zhu Xiaoling. Why don't we call the police?"

Zhang Beixing firmly objected: "No, what if they really do something to Zhu Xiaoling? That would be the end of us. Although the possibility is very small, they may really regard Zhu Xiaoling as a sacred being, but I dare not gamble with her life."

Zhu Xiaoling seemed to understand Zhang Beixing's concerns.

Gao Wenliang then comforted Zhang Beixing: "Since they regard Zhu Xiaoling as a saint, they might not do anything to her. Zhu Xiaoling might even have a good life in the future, so don't worry too much."

"I know you might not like hearing this, but it might really be true."

Zhang Beixing said, "You should continue the pursuit."

As for where the other party was taking Zhu Xiaoling, he didn't know. Soon, the car drove to the outskirts and came to a T-junction.

Just then, a large truck suddenly rushed out from the left.

Zhang Beixing suddenly had a bad feeling.

He suspected that the truck driver was likely in cahoots with Jiang Wenwu and had come specifically to stop them.

Sure enough, the truck sped over and blocked Gao Wenliang's path.

Gao Wenliang then realized what was going on.

Zhang Beixing smiled wryly and said, "I knew I was right."

Jiang Wenwu saw this scene in the rearview mirror and was overjoyed.

He immediately stepped on the gas and drove away.

The truck driver rolled down his window and sneered, "You should know what I do. I advise you to be sensible and leave quietly."

Zhang Beixing told Gao Wenliang to stop the car, and then immediately got out himself.

He asked the driver, "Are you also from the Divine Dragon Palace?"

"That's right, I'm also from the Divine Dragon Palace. But don't even think about getting anything out of me. Don't get your hopes up."

Gao Wenliang also got out of the car and began to hurl insults at the group. (End of Chapter)
