Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!
Chapter 155 The Empress's Unyielding Ambitions
Chi Linglong did not question Long Qingxue's claim that they came from the future.
The cement walls, glass streetlights, and flush toilets in Lianhai County—things she saw with her own eyes—have long exceeded the scope of understanding of this era.
If these people from the "future" wanted to deceive her, wouldn't it be easier for them to make up a less sensational story?
Why bother showing her these bloody scenes?
After the movie ended, Chi Linglong's eyes filled with tears, but her gaze became incredibly firm.
She raised her head, looked into Long Qingxue's eyes, and spoke in a hoarse but powerful voice:
"I'm joining you."
Long Qingxue didn't speak, but simply held her hand gently.
That evening, Long Qingxue brought Chi Linglong to Lin Mo's office.
Chi Linglong changed into clean clothes. Her shackles and handcuffs had been removed, but there were still a few faint red marks on her wrists.
Lin Mo stood up from behind his desk, walked up to her, and bowed deeply.
"sorry.
It was wrong of me to treat you the way I did before.
I apologize to you.
His tone was exceptionally sincere.
"But I have no choice."
For the future of this nation, and to prevent everything in that movie from happening again in this world, I have no choice but to use any means necessary.
I hope you can forgive me.
Chi Linglong remained silent for a long while, looking at the man before her who had once made her hate him to the core, before finally extending her hand and gently shaking his:
I forgive you.
But I will not forget what happened in the past.
Lin Mo straightened up, nodded, and then took out a Great Rejuvenation Pill from his pocket and handed it to Chi Linglong:
"This is the last Great Rejuvenation Pill I have. I hope it can restore some of the internal energy that was drained from you."
Chi Linglong reached out and took it; her current physical condition did indeed require the pill to help her recover.
"When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country falls, the people suffer!"
Lin Mo sighed deeply, and with a compassionate expression, spoke again.
"As for the Empress, you should continue to protect her from now on."
She cannot die now, otherwise the world will descend into chaos, and the people will suffer!
When Chi Linglong heard Lin Mo say that the rise and fall of dynasties and the suffering of the people were significant, her expression changed slightly. She had not expected that Lin Mo could say such profound words.
This made her look at Lin Mo with a touch more respect.
My previous agreement to join the Revival Society was entirely for the sake of national righteousness.
But now, her opinion of Lin Mo has changed.
This man seems to be quite something!
She nodded:
"good!"
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Your mentor came to see me a few days ago to inquire about your situation.
I plan to tell her that you were ambushed and injured by the Hehuan Sect near Hezhou, and that you are now on your way back to Jiangnan.
Is this explanation acceptable?
"Can!"
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, comrade."
Chi Linglong nodded and left the office. Long Qingxue took her to the telecommunications class to conduct intensive telegraph training so that she could provide timely feedback upon returning.
The next morning, Zhou Min arrived as promised.
Lin Mo once again welcomed her and several disciples into the reception room, had his secretary pour hot tea, and then sat down in the main seat, his face showing signs of exhaustion.
"Sect Leader Zhou, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Lin Mo rubbed his temples, picked up his teacup, took a big gulp, and then spoke.
"The people I sent out last night just sent back a message."
The Red Guard was ambushed by the Hehuan Sect near Hezhou. He suffered some minor injuries, but his life was not in danger.
According to her scouts, she has escaped danger and is on her way back to Jiangnan.
"The Hehuan Sect?"
Zhou Min frowned slightly. This answer was both unexpected and, upon reflection, quite reasonable.
Based on her understanding of the Hehuan Sect, the highest cultivation level of this evil sect on the surface was only the Acquired Realm, while Linglong had already stepped into the Innate Realm. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have suffered a loss at the hands of the Hehuan Sect.
But then I thought about it again. The Hehuan Sect has always been ruthless. In the past, they had gathered a large number of people and used hidden weapons and poisons to ambush other famous and righteous masters, and then used evil techniques to replenish their strength.
It's not impossible that Linglong, being all alone, might be ambushed if she's not careful.
"Exactly."
Lin Mo continued, following her lead.
"The Hehuan Sect was defeated by us in Heishigou and has been harboring resentment ever since. Recently, they have been frequently active in the border area between Hezhou and Lianhai."
He finished speaking, sighed, and raised his hand to rub his temples.
"It was due to my lack of foresight that I failed to eliminate the remaining enemies in that area in time, which resulted in the Red Guard being injured."
"I have already dispatched additional men to search for and wipe out the remaining members of the Hehuan Sect within Hezhou territory, and I guarantee that such an incident will not occur again."
Zhou Min was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded:
"You've gone to a lot of trouble, Lord Lin."
"As long as Linglong is safe and sound, this humble nun is at ease."
She thanked him verbally, but she hadn't completely shaken off her doubts.
After getting up to take her leave, she led her three disciples out of the building and whispered instructions in a secluded corner:
"Let's not rush back to Emei. Let's stay in Lianhai County for a few more days."
If Chi Linglong returns, the Empress should give us news. Let's wait and see.
"Yes, Master!"
The three female disciples' eyes lit up. After experiencing Lianhai County for the past few days, they had fallen in love with the place and couldn't wait to stay a few more days!
A dozen days later, a fast horse galloped from the south of the Yangtze River and stopped in front of the Cangwu County government office.
The messenger dismounted, took out a secret letter stamped with the imperial seal wax from his bosom, and handed it to the Lianhai Post Office.
The messenger was used to being stopped in Cangwu County every time he delivered a letter to Lianhai County.
The rest can only be left to the Lianhai Post Office.
Half a day later, Zhou Min received the letter, opened the envelope, and saw familiar handwriting.
"Master, your disciple has safely returned to the Empress's side."
The injuries are no longer serious; they are just superficial wounds that will heal in a few days.
I am deeply ashamed and remorseful for troubling Master with your journey of thousands of miles. Once the situation on the Empress's side stabilizes, I will definitely return to Emei to apologize to Master.
Respectfully submitted by your disciple Linglong.
At the end of the letter, the Empress added a note in her own handwriting.
Zhou Min's gaze lingered on the last few lines of text for a long time before she slowly folded the letter and put it back in the envelope. She leaned back in her chair, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Master, what did the Empress say?"
Seeing that her expression was off, Liu Biyao put down her teacup and asked.
Zhou Min did not answer, but simply handed her the letter.
Liu Biyao took the letter, and Duan Rongyue and Su Xuejian also came over. The three of them looked at the letter.
Liu Biyao raised her head, her brows furrowed:
"Empress, please help me kidnap Lin Mo to Jiangnan?"
"Isn't this asking Master to kidnap a high-ranking official of the imperial court?"
"It's not kidnapping, it's 'please'."
Zhou Min's voice was unreadable, and she tapped her fingers lightly twice on the table.
