Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
[Kid, don’t forget your motive for coming to Jiangsai.]
“I know.” Ah Yu nodded.
Whether it was her inexplicable ident.i.ty as a Holy Envoy, the underground palace she was going to explore, or the few new people she met, none of them could shake her original heart.
Iler main goal in coming to Jiangsai was to ensure her Fifth Brother’s safety. This had already been achieved.
Secondly, she wanted to find the path of the future development of the Women’s Academy. Unknowingly, she thought that she could obtain the answer here.
Moreover, after seeing the current situation of Jiangsai City, she hoped to solve the mystery here. If she could help improve the atmosphere here, that would naturally be very good. If it could not be achieved, she would not force it.
After all, it was a fool’s dream to think that he could shake the tradition of a hundred years with his own strength.
After getting to know each other, everyone realized that City Lord Wan was actually a particularly easy-going person. However, the woman in red beside him was very solemn and restrained her subordinates.
Once, they had personally seen City Lord Wan chatting with them with a smile. When they heard that someone outside was asking to see the City Lord, his expression instantly changed and he became the dignified and domineering City Lord again.
When he finished dealing with those matters and returned, he seemed to walk with an unapproachable murderous aura. However, when he arrived in front of them, City Lord Wan grinned and shouted, “Holy Envoy, I’m back!”
w.a.n.g Wulang clicked his tongue and sighed. “You can’t judge a book by its cover.”
King Xiaoyao had superficial wounds on his body. After recuperating for three consecutive days, he was almost completely healed. Only some subtle scars were left, waiting to fade.
“Previously, when I came to Jiangsai, 1 realized that the Protectorate General here is useless. The Protectorate General’s residence is also as dilapidated as a slum. Clearly, the local power is growing day by day. The Imperial Court can’t reach it, and the Protectorate General is helpless.” King Xiaoyao frowned, his tone very impatient. “If you want to change the system here, it can’t be done overnight. If you think it’s troublesome, you can rest here first. I’ll come and pick you up after 1 settle the matters in Jiangsai City.”
This City Lord Wan looked like a bad person, but in fact, he was neither a good person nor a bad person.
Compared to the other factions living in Jiangsai City, City Lord Wan was considered one of the most upright.
However, the number of lives that had fallen into his hands was actually not small. The reason why King Xiaoyao was imprisoned by him was because he had unintentionally discovered the existence of this City Lord and decided to beat him at his own game.
If not for Ah Yu and the others coming, King Xiaoyao’s men would have come to rescue him in three days. At that time, a fierce battle would have been unavoidable.
On the surface, he was sent by his brother to deal with Jiangsai. Of course, in the eyes of those silly dogs in the Imperial Court, he was sent to this barren land because his brother was afraid of him.
In secret, it was because he had heard that there was news of Ah Ruan here, so he took the initiative to find his brother and come here to investigate.
Ah Yu said, “Uncle All Shu, we won’t ask about your plan, but I’m not here to sightsee. I have my own things to do. If I only stay in the stone hall, I won’t be able to do anything.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I want to know why Jiangsai became like this.” After thinking for a moment, Ah Yu added, “Also, if it’s possible, tell me what you know about Princess Ruan Ruan, who was mentioned previously.”
King Xiaoyao did not object to this.
In any case, the fact that she was All Ruan’s child was probably close to the mark. There was no harm in telling her.
Therefore, after discussing the general plan in the stone hall, the two sides decided to split up and meet up at the Protectorate General Manor in five days. However, City Lord Wan did not agree. “Why do you have to split up? Whether it’s the matter of Princess Ruan Ruan or investigating the history of Jiangsai City, you actually only need to go to one place to resolve it.”
Ah Yu and King Xiaoyao looked at each other and said in unison, “Underground palace?”
“That’s right. On the night of the full moon every month, there will be a group of wild wolves guarding outside the underground palace. At the same time, a portion of the mechanisms in the palace will be dormant. This is the best time for us to enter the underground palace,” City Lord Wan said. “We’ll enter the underground palace on the 15th of May next month. We’ll use this time to make all kinds of preparations.”
“Alright.” All Yu couldn’t care less about the time. “In any case, we don’t have to wait for so long.”
She vaguely felt that perhaps this trip to the underground palace would really bring them a pleasant surprise.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 15th of May. The few people from before were still around, and the girl who had fallen into the water and was saved by Ah Yu did not leave.
She had become familiar with everyone and shook herself to the ground.
Her name was Shui Miao, and she was the next heir of the few tribes around Jiangsai.
It was not that she was very capable, but the surrounding tribes belonged to her father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, maternal grandfather, and maternal grandma. The family took care of each other and suppressed those who had objections. Wouldn’t she become the heir to lead the few clans at this rate?
Just as they were about to go to the underground palace, Shui Miao said, “Actually, everyone doesn’t have to prepare many anti-wolf things.”
When everyone looked over, she said, “I know how to tame beasts..”
