The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Mike urged them on impatiently, eager to get the antidote from Yang Xia as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, I always keep my word, and I'll get the antidote to you soon."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xia immediately followed the instructions in the Medicine King's Manual that he had redeemed from the system and successfully prepared the antidote.

These antidotes were immediately given to Mike, and the crisis in Nebula Kingdom came to an end.

"That Yang Xia is absolutely despicable. It's obvious that he was the one who poisoned us. No wonder he was able to produce the antidote so quickly."

After the crisis in Nebula Kingdom was resolved, these high-ranking leaders were unwilling to let go easily, as they could not swallow their anger.

The despicable and shameless nation of Xingyun only allows itself to harm others; they can't stand it when others merely retaliate in kind.

After some discussion, they decided not to let Yang Xia off so easily.

They then began to spread the word that Yang Xia and Xingyun Kingdom had completed a deal.

"Remember, you must make this matter known to everyone, so that the entire Yan Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty will know about it."

"Especially if the people of Yan Kingdom find out that Yang Xia made a deal with Xingyun Kingdom, then we'll have a good show to watch."

The high-ranking leaders of the Nebula Kingdom began spreading this message far and wide.

These people had extremely malicious intentions; they wanted to incite conflict between Yang Xia and Yan Guo, causing them to distrust each other.

Perhaps after some arrangements by the Nebula Kingdom, the cooperative relationship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom can be successfully dismantled.

It must be said that their tactic was extremely vicious, leaving Yang Xia with no way to clear his name.

"General Sun, there are rumors circulating that Yang Xia of the Great Zhou Dynasty has reached a deal with the Xingyun Kingdom. What exactly is this deal?"

His subordinates quickly informed Sun Zhengming of the news they had heard, and they all felt that the matter was particularly strange.

Upon hearing this news, Sun Zhengming frowned. Although he did not want to wrong Yang Xia, after carefully considering the recent events, there were still many suspicious points about Yang Xia.

When Yang Xia caught that assassin last time, he sent everyone away, including himself.

It's unclear what they discussed, but now news is circulating from the Nebula Kingdom that the deal has been completed.

Although Sun Zhengming tried his best to find an excuse for Yang Xia and did not want Xingyun Kingdom to sow discord between them, after these events, he overturned this conjecture.

Yang Xia's actions were very strange. Not only did he send himself away, but he also left without saying goodbye. No one knew when he left or where he went.

Faced with this sudden situation, Sun Zhengming had mixed feelings.

Due to the unusual circumstances, he had no choice but to quickly report these messages to the ruler of Yan.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xia's recent behavior is really too strange. Although I don't want to doubt him, it's hard not to suspect him."

Sun Zhengming spoke with the King of Yan with some sorrow, hoping that the King could give a judgment.

He told the King of Yan about Yang Xia's recent actions in detail, and said that he really couldn't understand what Yang Xia had done or why he had such mysterious behavior.

"Yes, Yang Xia's behavior is indeed too strange. If he really colludes with Xingyun Kingdom, it will be very detrimental to our Yan Kingdom. Could it be that we really misjudged him?"

The ruler of Yan Kingdom was also deeply saddened, and they were both struggling with their inner turmoil.

However, the King of Yan suddenly recalled the last time he met Yang Xia.

Yang Xia solemnly told himself his last request: to trust him unconditionally. Only in this way could the predicament of Xingyun Kingdom be successfully resolved.

The ruler of Yan was also aware of the serious consequences that their mutual suspicion would bring, and that it might even successfully destroy the friendship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Yan.

At that point, things will spiral out of control in many ways.

Considering Yang Xia's righteous and stern demeanor, the King of Yan was always unwilling to associate such a person with a treacherous and disloyal character.

After a fierce internal struggle, the ruler of Yan Kingdom made his final decision.

"General Sun, let's give Yang Xia one last chance. I believe he is not that kind of person and would never betray our Yan Kingdom."

The King of Yan made his final decision and decided to give Yang Xia another chance.

“Alright, since the king has made his decision, I will obey and give Yang Xia another chance.” Sun Zhengming said no more.

Meanwhile, Yang Xia had already returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty aboard General Meng Yu's large ship.

He wanted to personally return to the island to see the current situation of the residents and whether the previous peace had truly been restored. These were the most important things for Yang Xia.

When their large ship returned to the island of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was warmly welcomed by all its people.

Yang Xia is the backbone of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Only he can lead the Great Zhou Dynasty forward. Even in this crisis, Yang Xia can still help them overcome it.

"Your Majesty has finally returned. This whole affair was made possible by Your Majesty's wisdom."

"Yes, the people of our Great Zhou Dynasty can finally live in peace and prosperity again. The previous situation was really too tragic."

The people cheered enthusiastically, welcoming Yang Xia back, their gratitude for him overflowing.

In the crowd, Yang Xia finally saw Yu Meiren, whom he had been longing for day and night, and the two embraced each other passionately in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, you've finally returned! The people of Great Zhou have missed you terribly."

Yu Meiren gazed at Yang Xia with deep affection, but her words were rather subtle; in reality, she was the one who missed Yang Xia.

"Everyone, please disperse. The King has returned. You should get some rest."

General Meng Yu quickly dispersed the crowd.

"Your Majesty, I must go on patrol now, so I'll take my leave."

General Meng Yu quickly made up an excuse and left, not wanting to continue being a third wheel.

They specially reserved a space for Yang Xia and Yu Meiren to be alone.

Yang Xia and Yu Meiren had reached the point of discussing marriage. Having not seen each other for a long time, they naturally had endless topics to talk about.

Seeing that everyone around them had made excuses to leave, the two smiled at each other and hugged each other even tighter. Only they knew the taste of this longing in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, in my heart, you are the greatest hero, single-handedly saving the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty from suffering."

Yu Meiren still gazed at Yang Xia with deep affection, admiring him immensely and truly regarding him as a great hero.

Yang Xia loved seeing Yu Meiren's innocent and carefree eyes. He affectionately patted her head and then gave her a deep kiss on the cheek.

"Your Majesty, are you aware that I have witnessed too many separations and deaths recently? It is particularly painful for me."

Yu Meiren hugged Yang Xia tightly, longing for his return. In her heart, Yang Xia was everything, especially now that they were engaged, and she hoped to be together as soon as possible.

Yang Xia held Yu Meiren tightly, knowing that she was a simple and kind girl, and that it was indeed particularly cruel for her to witness so many life-and-death separations.

"Your Majesty, the current epidemic and poisoning incidents have caused great anxiety among the people on the island. Fortunately, Your Majesty resolved the crisis in time, bringing comfort to the people."

"Now that the king has returned, the people are overjoyed. The king saw it just now, and the people's enthusiasm is simply unstoppable."

Yu Meiren hugged Yang Xia tightly, expressing her excitement and her hopes for the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She naturally hoped that the Great Zhou Dynasty could become happier and more stable. As long as Yang Xia was there, these problems were not problems at all.

Yu Meiren had full confidence in Yang Xia. Under his rule, the Great Zhou Dynasty would surely become more and more prosperous, and their relationship would become sweeter and sweeter.

"Your Majesty, I am extremely grateful for everything you have done for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I truly admire you. Your Majesty is the greatest king."

Yu Meiren looked at Yang Xia with utmost admiration, full of confidence in the future. This innocent look made Yang Xia feel particularly sorry for her.

He wished that Yu Meiren's innocent and carefree eyes could remain forever, and that there would be no more fighting between nations. But reality is cruel, and some things are destined to happen.

Seeing Yu Meiren's utter adoration for him, Yang Xia could only shake his head with a wry smile. There were some things that Yu Meiren should know.

"Little girl, there are some things I didn't want to tell you, but I think you should also have a proper understanding of the harshness of reality."

"This incident is merely a warning from the Nebula Kingdom. More serious situations and conflicts may occur in the future, so don't be so optimistic."

Yang Xia didn't want to shatter Yu Meiren's innocence, but some things were destined to happen, so he could only speak out about these cruel realities.

"Yu Meiren, I know you are a kind girl, but you should also be wary of certain things. We will face severe tests in the future."

Yang Xia told Yu Meiren about the situation with a serious expression.

After hearing Yang Xia describe the serious situation, Yu Meiren's expression changed considerably, filled with more confusion.

In her heart, Yang Xia was the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as Yang Xia was there, nothing else could possibly happen.

But after hearing what Yang Xia said, she realized that things were going to be very serious.

"Your Majesty, what exactly does the Nebula Kingdom intend to do?"

Yu Meiren frowned. She knew that Yang Xia would never lie to her, and some things were bound to happen.

However, the actions of the Nebula Kingdom are utterly baffling. They have caused immense suffering to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If it weren't for Yang Xia, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Judging from Yang Xia's tone, this was just a warning, and something even more terrible would happen in the future.

Yu Meiren wondered what those people from Xingyun Kingdom really wanted, and why they always enjoyed such brutal fighting.

A naive and innocent girl like Yu Meiren would naturally be unable to understand the actions of the Xingyun Kingdom.

In Yu Meiren's heart, she believed that every country should yearn for peace and want its people to live a stable and united life.

However, others thought differently, especially the Nebula Kingdom, whose ambitions had long been evident.

However, a naive girl like Yu Meiren simply couldn't imagine it.

The Nebula Kingdom didn't just want the Great Zhou Dynasty; it wanted something much bigger.

Seeing the puzzled look in Yu Meiren's eyes, Yang Xia could only try his best to explain to her.

However, there are some things that Yu Meiren is destined to never understand.

All those who yearn for peace cannot understand the actions of the Nebula Kingdom; their ambitions can never be satisfied.

They instigated several wars, and they all looked at the surrounding countries with covetous eyes.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was just one example; these things are particularly hateful.

Judging from Yang Xia's tone, the ambitions of the Nebula Kingdom go far beyond this, and there are even more terrifying conspiracies to come.

"Your Majesty, I truly cannot understand the Star Cloud Kingdom's brutal actions. Why would they do such a thing?"

Peony remained incomprehensible; she couldn't understand what those people in the Nebula Kingdom were thinking, that they would willingly face such a brutal war.

Yang Xia didn't continue explaining. Some things are simply beyond the comprehension of a naive and innocent girl like Shaoyao.

"Alright, don't think about it so much. I hope you can always keep this innocence and naivety."

Yang Xia affectionately rubbed Shaoyao's little head and gave her a sweet smile.

If the peony could remain so innocent forever, it would be an extremely happy state. Yang Xia hoped that he had the ability to keep the peony alive.

Just then, Yang Xia's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Sun Zhengming calling.

His heart skipped a beat. He knew perfectly well why Sun Zhengming had called – he was there to interrogate him.

Recently, Yang Xia did some things on his own and successfully resolved the crisis of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, for safety's sake, and even keeping it from Sun Zhengming, some misunderstandings between the two were inevitable.

If Sun Zhengming does not fully trust him, conflicts may even arise between them.

However, some things cannot be explained in just a few words, and Yang Xia was also afraid that misunderstandings might arise between the two of them, giving Xingyun Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of them.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Xia pressed the answer button.

"Yang Xia, I have heard about your secret dealings with the Xingyun Kingdom. I hope you can give me a plausible reason."

"Otherwise, I will handle this matter entirely and immediately terminate the cooperative relationship between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom."

As soon as the call connected, Sun Zhengming started yelling at Yang Xia without any politeness, firing off a barrage of questions and demanding an explanation from Yang Xia.

Yang Xia had anticipated this outcome; Sun Zhengming would definitely suspect him, but he couldn't explain these things to him right now.

This is also the moment to test their relationship. If Sun Zhengming trusts him enough, these misunderstandings will not arise.

“Brother Sun, there’s nothing to explain. If you trusted me enough, you wouldn’t have asked such a question.”

“If Brother Sun does not believe me, further explanation will be of no use. We have already made it very clear.”

After Yang Xia finished speaking, he decisively hung up the phone.

At this special time, some aspects of the issue are indeed difficult to explain clearly.

After experiencing so much, their feeling has become even stronger: only with sufficient trust can a deeper relationship be built. (End of Chapter)
