"Then let's do as Elder Qin says. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go to Baizao myself and reminisce with my brother to prevent him from having any undue thoughts."

Of course, reminiscing about the past is one thing, but the truth must not be told, otherwise, his younger brother might have some bad intentions again. After all, although Xiaojie no longer has the blood of a true dragon, it does not affect his unlucky younger brother at all. He will leave the official duties to Xiaojie and go out to have fun.

This won’t do. I have such a good nephew...Oh, yes, why should I be so nervous?

Wei Yanwu immediately came to his senses. Although Xiaojie's identity was quite sensitive, would his brother believe it? Ha, how could it be possible? Although his brother was not a decent person, he was still from the royal family. He still had to be polite. I couldn't just say something so casually and push a kid of unknown origin onto the throne.

But these are all things for later. Let’s deal with the current situation first.

"Okay, stop crying. Crying too much is bad for your health. Wenyue, you should go back first. If you can't, go check on Huijie. Go take care of the East Country Ninja matters over there. With Elder Wang and Elder Qin here, there won't be any trouble."

"If you see Xiaojie again, you must keep him. Don't let him do this again. Do you hear me?"

Wen Yue cried, but she quickly calmed down and stared at Wei Yanwu. If the environment wasn't inappropriate, she would have put her hand on Wei Yanwu's ear.

"Don't worry, Madam. I know what I'm doing with this kind of thing."

Wen Yue left and disappeared into the night under the protection of the black-cloaked shadow guards. However, Wei Yanwu understood that Wen Yue did not return to the Governor's Mansion, but went to see Hui Jie. Although this niece's ability was a bit poor, he had seen her grow up since she was a child. The feelings were there, and he couldn't just leave her aside.

"Come on, let's... come to the point, Lao Lin, why haven't you said a word since just now?"

It has come to this point. If Wei Yanwu continues to slack off, he will feel that it is unacceptable. He shook his sleeves and prepared to operate properly. Suddenly, he realized that something seemed to be missing from the beginning. Turning his head, he saw Lin Gerui fiddling with the tea bowl in front of him.

"I... am just a little confused."

Lin Gerui sighed depressedly and said:

"You also said that I was in your dream, which means that even in another world, you and I are still good brothers. In that case, Xiaojie is such a likable kid, so his relationship with me can't be that bad. Judging from his attitude towards Yuxia, he doesn't seem to be estranged from our family."

At this point, Lin Gerui scratched his head in confusion and said:

"Then why did you dream? Wenyue dreamed, and Yuxia seemed to have some strange dreams too, but I didn't. What does this mean? Are you trying to isolate me?"

"This.... must be your problem."

Wei Yanwu thought about it, then nodded as if it was natural and said:

"Xiao Jie can't be in trouble, so it must be you. Hey, Mr. Lin, tell me, have you done anything to offend me?"

"Sorry about your beeping head!"

Lin Gerui picked up his cane and hit Wei Yanwu. Of course he missed, but at least he showed his attitude.

"bump!"

At this moment, Mr. Wang and Mr. Qin tacitly moved two stacks of documents over and placed them on the table. Wei Yanwu and Lin Gerui's childish quarrels immediately stopped, and then the two of them coughed tacitly and started to deal with business.

The first thing to deal with is the equipment of the internal security. The research on this must naturally be arranged as soon as possible, but the relevant arrangements must also be made very carefully. It is hard to say whether Ursus will go crazy because of this.

Secondly, there are the internal issues within the Guards Bureau. Xiaojie pointed out these people, so these people can no longer stay in the Guards Bureau and must be dealt with...

Just when Wei Yanwu and Lin Gerui began to focus on their official duties again, Chen Huijie had already returned to the outside of Longmen City, looking for the whereabouts of his two friends.

When I was in Rhodes Island, I heard them talk about their past wanderings, and they also told me that outside of Lungmen, there were some small strongholds left by the Pardoners.

When she said this, the white-haired Sarkaz elder sister gently stroked the corner of her clothes and said softly that if she was interested, she could make an exception and take her to see those strongholds, so that she could understand the sins of the Pardoner and also understand what kind of past she herself had.

But in the end, the white-haired Sarkaz sister was unable to take Chen Huijie to see it, because those strongholds had been destroyed one by one.

This, this cannot be blamed on Chen Huijie. He had just set out from Longmen to study, and those short-sighted pardoners ran into him. At that time, Chen Huijie's strength was average, and his Chixiao swordsmanship had barely reached the "Cloud Rift" level.

And there were so many pardoners, and they were so scattered, that it was too slow to hunt them down.

Therefore, Chen Huijie turned around and went back to Longmen, and told his uncle and aunt about the matter. Then, under the strong "watch" of the Black Raincoat Shadow Guards, all the small strongholds of the Pardoners around Longmen were evaporated.

Chen Huijie was held at the goal post by his uncle and aunt and had his body checked before he was allowed to set off again.

Therefore, when the white-haired Sarkaz sister spoke in a gentle tone as if she wanted to confess everything, Chen Huijie grabbed his head and told the situation somewhat uncontrollably, and cautiously suggested, why don't we go to another area to have a look, anyway I am not picky.

Then....

Although I agreed, I always felt that the atmosphere seemed to be wrong. Could it be because I couldn't stop by my house to sit and play? No way, didn't she say that she didn't have a good impression of Longmen?

Forget it, there’s no need to think about these past events anymore, let’s deal with the current affairs first.

Chen Huijie still remembered the locations of those small strongholds. When facing the pursuit of Ursus, he had used these small strongholds hidden underground to ambush Ursus' warships and achieved certain results.

With Chen Huijie's pursuit, he soon found the whereabouts of the two "old friends". After he used his true energy to violently open the door of a stronghold, he felt a sharp gaze and momentum falling on him.

This feeling is very familiar, too familiar, just like when I accidentally fell into a puddle and saw her taking a bath, cough cough cough!!!

Chen Huijie quickly threw these messy memories out of his mind. He slowly raised his head, and a beautiful figure suddenly came into his sight——

She wore a wide hood with a low brim that partially obscured her face, but it couldn't hide her hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her hair fluttered gently in the breeze, shimmering with a silvery luster, like the brightest galaxy in the night sky, mysterious and charming.

Her outfit is equally eye-catching. A pair of knee-high boots tightly wrap around her slender legs. The boots are covered with delicate leather, and the boot shafts extend above the knees, embellishing the graceful lines of her legs. The pair of hills given by nature sway gently with her breathing, as if hiding endless stories and tenderness.

She has a pair of delicate white horns on her head, which are gently curved, adding a unique beauty to her and making her existence unpredictable and fascinating.

Although the long sword in her hand was just held in her arms, Chen Huijie understood that her swordsmanship was extraordinary and it only took a moment for her to draw her sword.

"Don't get excited, Miss Quisasina."

Having found the real culprit, Chen Huijie was no longer anxious. He spread his hands slightly and said with a smile:

"I'm here to make friends."

Kwisashina, in the previous timeline, was already an operator of Rhodes Island before Chen Huijie landed on Rhodes Island. Her codename was "Shining". She was a Sarkaz and had once been a member of the Absolutioners. However, she could not tolerate the practices within the Absolutioners and chose to leave during the civil war in Kazdel.

"I might have a solution for Miss Liz's problem. When that bastard Quesatusta comes knocking on your door sometime in the future, I'll help you cut him down with my sword."

Looking at the Shining, whose hostile aura still remained, Chen Huijie continued to talk about this Quesatushita, who was once one of the "demon kings" of the Sarkaz. He had defeated countless powerful enemies and built an immortal Kazdel under the reflection of dawn and dusk.

Yes, Quesatusta is a figure in Kazdel's history, but he did not die due to aging or lifespan issues. He used special means to maintain his life—

Every time he dies, the soul of Quesatushita will take over the body of his descendants to continue life and start a "new bloodline".

In these repeated possessions, Quesatusta has survived for nearly a thousand years. During these thousand years, he has been coveting the position of the Demon King, intending to use forbidden means to usurp the Black Crown and become the Demon King again.

The most recent time, after taking over someone else's body, Kwisatusta gave birth to Kwisashina, also known as Shining. Kwisatusta had high hopes for Shining, believing that Shining would become his purest container.

But Shining's mother did not want her daughter to be controlled by Quesatustus, so she chose to die with Quesatustus. However, Quesatustus, who was stabbed in the chest by a sword, took over the unborn boy in his wife's belly, squeezed out the body of Shining's brother and was resurrected.

And Kwisatusta's subsequent actions also prompted Shining to defect from the Absolver.

Therefore, Chen Huijie believed that throwing out the name of Quesatusta at this time would better attract Shining's attention. However, Chen Huijie also had some selfish motives.

That is him and Shining. Even in the previous world line, when they had a pretty good relationship, they had never competed with each other because Shining had a certain aversion to her swordsmanship, and he couldn't force her to draw her sword and fight with him.

You can't make your good friend feel bad just for your own selfish desires, right?

But now, things are different. I'm not familiar with Sister Kui yet. We're strangers meeting for the first time. Hey, this is quite telling. I've said so many things that shouldn't be known to outsiders. Sister Kui has to test herself. If she doesn't test herself, how can she feel at ease? So how should she test herself...

Since we all use swords, of course we have to use our swordsmanship to determine the other person's sincerity!

So, come on, Sister Kui, don’t be polite to me, just draw your sword and have a good fight with me!

Thinking of this, Chen Huijie couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his eyes became brighter. Looking at Quesasina who was still motionless across from him, he slowly placed his hand on the hilt of the sword and said with a smile:

"Miss Quesasina, I know you're worried about me. How about we talk with our swords? Swords never lie. I believe in battle, you'll understand that I'm not an enemy, but a friend."

"......"

Obviously, it is a little difficult for Quesasina to match Chen Huijie's idea now, but she will not let this inexplicable guy make trouble here, just when the atmosphere is becoming more and more solemn.

Suddenly, a fluorite light flashed from behind Quesasina. The light gently fell on Chen Huijie and turned into a light shield, protecting him. At the same time...

"Don't hurt him... He's not a bad person..."

188 Chongyue/Ling: Where is Meng? Why hasn't he come yet?

With the appearance of the Originium Skill Shield, the confrontation between Quesasina, also known as Shining, and Chen Huijie suddenly dissipated. The two looked at the passage behind together. In the soft and slightly melancholy light, stood a sickly girl with golden curly hair.

Her hair, like waves of wheat shimmering in the rays of the rising sun, shimmered with a delicate, warm golden sheen. Neatly combed into bangs, it gently fell across her forehead, adding a touch of gentleness and childishness to her. Her face was beautiful, with a slight frown between her brows, revealing a subtle fragility and resilience, as if she carried too many unknown secrets and burdens.

She was wearing a spotless white dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze, like a lily blooming in the morning light, pure and fragile.

The cut of the dress is simple yet exquisite, perfectly outlining her slender figure, while inadvertently revealing an ethereal beauty that transcends the world.

The Originium technique was emitted from a staff held tightly in the girl's hand. The staff looked quite simple, with a birdcage-like object hanging down from the top. As her Originium technique was activated, the blue bird in the birdcage seemed to resonate with it, faintly flashing with a faint blue light, echoing the faint blue light surrounding her.

At this moment, noticing that the eyes of Quesasina and Chen Huijie fell on her at the same time, the girl moved her feet a little uneasily. The pair of long boots that matched her dress made her posture look more upright. Even though she was sick, she still looked elegant.

However, although the girl had just taken action to stop the confrontation between Quesasina and Chen Huijie, her eyes were full of desire and curiosity about the unknown, mixed with a hint of sadness and confusion, as if she didn't understand why she was standing here and why she did such a thing.

"Good night, Miss Liz."

Just when the atmosphere was a little tense, Chen Huijie smiled and greeted the girl in the white dress, saying softly:

"Good boy, it's time to go to bed."

"Liz isn't a child."

The girl in the white dress answered in a cold voice. It seemed that it was not appropriate to talk to her in the tone of coaxing a child, and it might even make her unhappy.

But under the gaze of Quesasina and Chen Huijie, the girl in the white dress just walked back staggeringly while talking. It was obvious that her body was still very honest and she was going to rest.

"Ms. Quisasina, let's ignore this little episode."

Chen Huijie quickly brought the topic back to their previous exchange. He slowly pulled Chi Xiao out of his waist, sword and sheath included, and assumed a starting stance, whispering:

"I think after this fight, you should understand that I have no hostility towards you."

"........"

Quesasina remained the same, but her hand slowly moved away from the hilt of the sword. The tit-for-tat aura was also gradually fading. Noticing this, Chen Huijie quickly advised:

"Ms. Quisasina, it's inappropriate to be so careless in a fight like this, isn't it? If I were to launch a surprise attack now, you wouldn't have any room to react."

"Since you are here to make friends, come in and sit down."

However, Quesasina did not respond to Chen Huijie's words. She just said this calmly, then turned and left the entrance and walked deeper.

In response to this, Chen Huijie couldn't help but reach out his hand to try to dissuade her, but in the end, Chen Huijie couldn't say anything. He could only sigh helplessly, put Chi Xiao back around his waist, and followed Quesasina.

After noticing Chen Huijie's actions, a barely perceptible look flashed in Quesasina's eyes, as if to say that she had made the right bet, and she continued to walk towards the lounge of this base.

It can be seen that this base is just a place where the pardoners usually use to store supplies. When Chen Huijie followed Quesasina, he also grabbed two bags of food. When he was waiting to sit down and talk later, he ate while chatting with Quesasina.

“There’s hot food here.”

After sitting down in the lounge, Quisasina glanced at Liz, who was curled up on the bed and had fallen asleep. She sat on the floor next to her bed, casually opened the small iron pot in front of her, and said softly:

"Eat this. The ones you brought are choking if you eat them dry."

"Then I won't be polite."

Chen Huijie took the small pot directly, took two bites, and found it too salty. Then he quietly put it back in its place, pretending nothing had happened and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, you two should be being chased by three waves of people recently."

As Chen Huijie spoke, he raised his fingers one by one and said:

"First, he's the Absolver. That madman, Quesatusta, won't let you and Miss Liz disappear from his sight."

"The second is Ursus. Ever since the Kazdel Civil War began, this country has openly sought to plunder any benefits from this war. Whether it's people or property, as long as it can strengthen the Ursus army, they will not let it go. Obviously, they got intelligence from the members of the Absolution Division and want to 'invite' you, Miss Quesasina, to Ursus to 'share' the Absolution Division's skills."

"Thirdly, I've always been curious about how Victoria got in touch with your Absolver. Apparently, the owners of those gray hats were ripped off by the Absolver and are desperate to get their money back. Do you know what they did?"

According to the existing clues, Chen Huijie speculated that the flesh and blood monsters in the factory area were obviously the work of the Pardoner, but their distorted appearance showed that they were failed products of the experiment.

The Victorians were probably coveting some kind of technology, and were fooled by the Pardoner into taking over the stronghold full of failed products. By the time the Victorians realized the truth, it was already too late. The location of this stronghold was very awkward, and it was difficult for the Victorians to maintain it in Lungmen for a long time.

Today's operation in the old town gave these Victorians a sinister idea. As long as the stronghold was blown up, not only would all traces disappear, but they could also strike Longmen. Moreover, if I remember correctly, when I was processing documents at night, I saw Longmen's external bidding announcement. Could it be that Victoria also took a fancy to this?

But no matter what the reason was, the Victorians' plan had failed, and I think those masters in gray hats were already starting to have a headache by now.

"I do not know."

On the other side, facing Chen Huijie's questions, Quesasina answered calmly and straightforwardly. She left in a hurry. When she left the Absolver, she only took Liz with her. She didn't care about other things at all.

"After all you've said, do you have any way to help me get rid of those pursuers?"

"To be precise, I've already dealt with it."

As Chen Huijie spoke, he took out some small pendants from his arms and placed them in front of Quesasina. They were decorations taken from the gray hat and the Ursus inner guard windbreaker. They were simple decorations without any extra skills or characteristics, but they were still suitable as evidence.

".....Did you make that thunder?"

Quesasina looked up at Chen Huijie and without waiting for the boy's reply, she continued:
