Love letters are not allowed in exorcism notes

Chapter 1249 The Monotonous Waiting Day After Day
"The approval from above has been issued. Regarding the report you submitted, a limited trial can be conducted if conditions permit."

Yang Qiming put down the documents in his hand and looked at Wang Yunxiao standing in front of him.

"You still haven't found a wife?"

"..."

Wang Yunxiao shrugged and forced a smile.

He didn't really want to answer that question.

"Have you tried everything?"

"more or less."

Two months have passed since the end of the high tide, and those who were missing are gradually returning... those who are not returning may truly never return.

Xia Yubing, Shen Qingxi, and Li Mumu still haven't shown up.

On the bright side, maybe they were hit by the United Ark and sent flying to who knows where.

On the worst, it might get smashed to pieces and be impossible to pick up.

While the Fubing method is indeed impeccable in combat, it is difficult to evaluate its other aspects.

With Wang Yunxiao's own abilities, there was simply no way to bring the person back.

He visited Ms. Bai Zhi yesterday, hoping she could offer him some help, or even just guidance.

Ms. Bai Zhi told him not to worry and to trust his wife.

I trusted her too much!

what's the result?
You messed up! You're finished!

"What did the Secret Service say?"

"They said they would help me find it... but I found out through someone that the Astronomical Bureau is paralyzed. This time the casualties were heavy, and it will not be able to recover for one or two years."

The three bureaus each have different responsibilities, and Wang Yunxiao has asked around about them.

The task of finding people on a timeline is mainly carried out by the Astronomical Bureau, while the Secretariat is responsible for providing clues.

Li Mumu was just an ordinary rich girl with no special background.

Xia Yubing, as a mid-level cadre in the Special Service Bureau, has still not been heard from, which shows that it's not that they aren't trying, but that they are truly powerless.

"Actually, there is another way."

Yang Qiming said seriously, "Have you considered the matter of advancing a third time?"

"what?"

Wang Yunxiao thought to himself, "What am I even thinking about?"

It's already so difficult to get promoted to the Imperial Guard, so why are you asking me if I have any intention of continuing to improve?

Yes, it certainly exists, but can I make it happen just because I have an idea?
Each advancement in the Twelve Methods of Cultivation signifies a leap in one's understanding, and its difficulty increases exponentially.

Wang Yunxiao's foundation in the Imperial Guard was not very solid, or it could be said that he was forced into it.

Should we still let him continue to be promoted?
You really think highly of me... No, the commander must have another meaning behind those words.

Seeing the thoughtful expression on Wang Yunxiao's face, Yang Qiming smiled and said, "After advancing to the Imperial Guard, the Fubing Method will have two branches: one corresponding to the Horn Constellation as a Garrison General, and the other corresponding to the Kang Constellation as a Flying Cavalry General. Of course, that's not the point. The point is..."

"During the third advancement, you will have the opportunity to find your wife through the timeline."

Wang Yunxiao suddenly realized.

Yes, that's right.

When Young Master Huang was promoted to the position of Taiyin Lord, he turned back time by a full month.

In other words, starting from the third advancement, one is no longer human; it's equivalent to elevating oneself to a higher dimensional level.

Theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible to find traces of Li Mumu.

But the question is, how long will it take to accumulate experience for a third promotion?
"Currently, there are no more than a handful of righteous cultivators in the country who have completed the third promotion. To be precise, including myself, there are only four of them."

Yang Qiming noticed Wang Yunxiao's doubts and explained them to him.

"I think you are very talented, but in order to complete your third promotion, you must make corresponding achievements."

"What do you need me to do?"

"The country was destroyed."

Farewell!

Wang Yunxiao turned to leave. "Don't joke like that. You want me to destroy a country just to save my wife?"
Why won't you let me land on the moon?

The destruction of a country is such a terrible thing... Tell me first, which one do you want to destroy?
Yang Qiming laughed and said, "Weren't you doing a good job in Japan? If Wan Huayu hadn't come back, you would have almost wiped out the entire imperial family and nobles of Edo, right?"

"No no."

Wang Yunxiao quickly shook his head.

You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Even if you're a leader, you can't just spout nonsense and slander someone's reputation.

I spared the lives of children whose height didn't exceed that of a car tire.

"Has something happened in Japan again? Do I need to go and resolve it?"

"That's not necessary."

Yang Qiming waved his hand and said, "The Master of Myriad Transformations is trying to find the Fusang we lost, so don't go and cause trouble. Speaking of destroying a country, there really aren't any particularly good targets around us, so taking the path of General of the Cavalry might be difficult for you. If you can't be promoted to General of the Cavalry, you can choose another path."

"I'm going to recommend you to go to the New World to guard a continent."

Wang Yunxiao raised an eyebrow and said, "I will obey orders, but sir, I don't know much about that area."

"Nobody knows what will happen after the great tide, and nobody knows what will happen. That's why I need a reliable general to guard the area. You may be young, but you're incredibly strong and ruthless..."

Ruthless and cruel doesn't seem like a compliment, does it?

"When I was young, I was just like you. As a soldier, you have to be soft-hearted when it comes to your inner self, but tough when it comes to external threats. Some people can't tell the difference between inside and outside..."

Yang Qiming sighed and said, "This matter is not urgent for now. Domestic production needs to be restored, and all the legions, including the navy, need a period of rest. Your foundation is still too weak, so go back to the academy to study first. I will send someone to organize the intelligence data from the New World for you. We will finalize the plan at the beginning of next year."

"After you've been stationed there for three years and accumulated enough merit, you'll be able to be promoted to Garrison General when you return."

It will take three years... no, at least three and a half years from now.

Wang Yunxiao felt a sense of despair, but he also knew that there were no shortcuts on this path.

Time is immeasurable. Three and a half years on my end might only be a second on Li Mumu's end, or she might have been abducted by some random man and given birth to seven or eight children.

So annoying...

She even boasted about being a peerless genius and beautiful girl; I shouldn't have believed her nonsense.

In early July, Han Bin called and invited him and Yan Yu'an to a restaurant.

Wang Yunxiao thought something had happened to him again.

Saying "again" is not very polite, after all, Old Han never asks for help from others. In the past, it was Wang Yunxiao and Yan Yu'an who asked him for help, and he has never asked anyone for help.

"I'm engaged to Cheng Xuefei."

Seeing the two people so affectionate, Wang Yunxiao and Yan Yu'an hesitated to speak.

You're really not afraid of death.

Cheng Xuefei has now earned the reputation of a "jinx" on the streets of Tianmen City. At least other women's black widows only took advantage of their husbands after they married into the family.

She was even more ruthless and cruel than the Black Widow. After several years of ups and downs, she hadn't even given her fiancé a taste of happiness before she had completely ruined his family.

Nowadays, a young woman who has just turned eighteen is so unmarried that everyone in Tianmen City is terrified of her in the matchmaking market.

As a result, the reputation of the entire Cheng family has declined, and Cheng Feng is still unable to find a wife.

But Han Bin was clearly not someone who was afraid of trouble. Firstly, he was the kind of person who would face difficulties head-on, and secondly... he didn't have any family property for Cheng Xuefei to squander.

Pure love, without a trace of materialism.

"I want to clarify something for you all. Cheng Xuefei has always been a good girl. What she did before was all for work purposes, you know what I mean."

"Ah, yes, yes!"

The parties involved have already said this, what more do you want?

Wang Yunxiao and Yan Yu'an could only nod vigorously in agreement.

Han Bin was never the kind of person to be influenced by worldly prejudices. He didn't bother explaining such things to outsiders. He was going to marry her, so what if she was a jinx or an alien? He was happy to do it!

However, Wang Yunxiao and Yan Yu'an are the two people who must be notified.

Cheng Xuefei can handle other people on her own, but she can't handle any misunderstandings between these two.

Men like myself, with their straightforward temperaments and pure nature, have been corrupted by those two.

"You still haven't found a wife?"

"No."

"Any clues? Didn't you agree on any signs or codes? I can keep an eye out for you while I'm out there."

"No."

How could Wang Yunxiao possibly admit that they had agreed to cook noodles? The idea was so terrible that he felt it was far more reliable to stake out the Western restaurant outside the Special Agent Bureau than to quit his job and open a noodle shop.

But under those circumstances, neither of them could think of a better solution.

It's all about luck.

Have you considered seeking help from a deity or something?

Yan Yu'an enthusiastically suggested, "Sometimes, when science can't solve a problem, it's not a bad idea to turn to metaphysics."

"I've asked for it."

Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that if he hadn't visited Ms. Bai Zhi, Yang Qiming might not have assigned him this job.

"Next year I might be sent to the New World..."

"New World?"

Han Bin asked in surprise, "I'm just about to go on my honeymoon with Xuefei over there. When are you leaving? Can I hitch a ride on your boat?"

"You're going there for your honeymoon? I heard there are more dinosaurs than people there."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Wang Yunxiao could not agree with Han Bin's hobbies and could only respond with a smile.

In July, Penglai Immortal Temple reopened its gates, and Li Ya returned to Tianmen City with her family.

Time has passed, and the house is much quieter now.

Not only is Li Mumu missing and has not returned, but Song Lili, another member of the TFBOYS, has also been out of contact to this day, with no news of her. It is said that she got lost at the gate of Qinghe Middle School while trying to help a classmate, and Wang Ying feels very guilty about it.

Wang Yunxiao also remembered that in the temporal storm of the Great Tide, there was a monster called Lilith who could drag everyone nearby into her dream.

Compared to other chaotic creatures, it is relatively harmless, and you might even get fleeced by it. I don't know if it's the same person.

But he doesn't plan to tell Wang Ying this news right now.

Wang Ying is too young (actually, she's not that young), and her abilities are not yet sufficient for her to venture into the world of high-fashion outfits.

Perhaps at this moment, someone knows Li Mumu's whereabouts, but seeing that I am not strong enough, they do not intend to tell me?

Wang Yunxiao was disgusted with his double standards, but he had no choice but to do so.

“My child won’t get lost because of something as trivial as wind and rain.”

Li Ya had complete confidence in Li Mumu, though she didn't know how Li Mumu could have the nerve to say such things from her position.

"If you haven't met her yet, it means your time hasn't come. Just wait patiently."

It was as if he hadn't said anything at all, but at least it proved that Li Mumu was still relatively safe, which reassured Wang Yunxiao a little.

What follows is a long wait.

During his vacation, Wang Yunxiao traveled all over the streets and alleys of Tianmen City, recording all the noodle shops, hot pot restaurants, Western restaurants, and all the restaurants that Li Mumu liked to eat at.

Then leave some money and your phone number on the counter, telling the clerk that if he ever encounters a particularly gluttonous young lady, he must call and let him know.

As a result, there were several false alarms. When he went to verify, he found that they were all the plump little shrine maiden Uesugi Risa.

This child is beyond saving; perhaps he could be promoted to something like a Clean Altar Messenger.

Time flies by like a wild donkey.

September, October... another heavy snow.

It is said that the air is especially fresh after a storm. After the high tide, all sorts of monsters and scoundrels in Tianmen City were swept away, leaving no fun to be found, and life became increasingly dull.

Wang Yunxiao hasn't gone out for a stroll in the city for a long time. Every day, besides clocking in and standing guard, he buries himself in his studies.

The snow froze and then melted, the spring breeze blew, and all things came back to life, but there was still no news of the three people.

"This is not an order, but an invitation. You can consider it if you'd like."

The plan to travel to the New World has been put on the agenda. This is tantamount to going to the frontier to establish a government and territory. It is impossible to solve all the problems by force alone.

Yang Qiming specifically called Wang Yunxiao into his office and hinted that he should form his own team.

Wang Yunxiao's own brothers were fine for small-scale operations, but it was clearly not enough to handle those troublesome issues. So Wang Yunxiao thought of another group of people he could contact.

Those silent ones who separated from the Forward Church.

The nuns who run a grocery store near Qinghe High School are now highly praised by students for their delicious and affordable food.

Religious belief was an essential element in overseas colonies. In the New World, there were immigrants not only from within China but also from other countries. Sometimes, resolving conflicts did not necessarily require guns and cannons.

If he had a choice, Wang Yunxiao would certainly prefer to invite Shen Qingxi, that professional cult leader, but unfortunately he had no choice.

"can."

After a brief discussion, the nuns accepted Wang Yunxiao's invitation.

While a long period of peace is certainly precious, for nuns who have undergone intensive training as combat weapons, an overly peaceful life is not necessarily a happy one.

Having dealt with the nuns, Wang Yunxiao felt relieved. All he had to do was find a few more... At this moment, he noticed that the shop seemed to have prepared a lot of food, with sausages piled up like a small mountain.

Are there any events planned recently?

The nun paused for a moment, then wrote a line of text on the blackboard with chalk.

"On March 23, the birthday of the Goddess of the Sea, a market is held at the Goddess of the Sea.
