Su Cheng thought about all the people he had lost, and realized that they had all done so for the sake of the greater good or the common people.

If it were one's own mother, who could wait a hundred years?

If it were me, even a moment would feel too long, and I would wish to see him immediately.

As his master, how could he possibly ask Qinghan to wait a hundred years or even longer?

"I need to think about this matter for a while longer. Yu Lan, please do not tell Qing Han about it."

"Let's leave this one for now. There shouldn't be any movement from Dongfang Jue yet. Su Cheng plans to take care of the other two on this trip. Before leaving, he glanced at the resolute ice flowers in front of the city gate and said softly."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

So he set off to visit him. Su Cheng, for one of the few times, thought of Xu Zhanfeng and sent a message to the steward.

Come see me.

Before long, in the time it takes to smoke two cigarettes, Xu Zhanfeng arrived.

Even without that signature drifting knee slide, Xu Zhanfeng knew when to do what. He knew he had to flatter, but he also had to consider who it was and when.

The master must be looking for me on a serious matter. Rather than flattering him, doing my job well and making him happy is the most important thing.

"Xu Zhanfeng greets Your Excellency."

Su Cheng nodded and introduced Xu Zhanfeng: "No need for formalities, this is Yu Lan, an elder of Lingxian Palace."

Xu Zhanfeng had naturally discovered the master's woman long ago, but since the master didn't say anything, how dare he ask?

After all, this was Xu Zhanfeng's first time meeting Yu Lan, and he didn't know if his grandmother knew of her existence, so he dared not say anything.

Then Su Cheng introduced Yu Lan again: "This is Xu Zhanfeng, a steward of Lingxian Palace."

Compared to Xu Zhanfeng's respectful demeanor, Yu Lan was quite approachable.

"Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm new here and still need your help in many things. Please give me your guidance."

Xu Zhanfeng also lowered her stance. She sensed that this elder was unusual; she and the eldest master were probably...

"Elder Yu Lan is too kind. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything Zhan Feng can do to help you."

Su Cheng nodded. He was quite satisfied with Xu Zhanfeng's demeanor. It seemed that this guy could be serious after all!

If that's the case, then he's finally found someone he can use!

Su Cheng's gaze was sharp as he said coldly, "I have written everything that needs to be done in the letter. Just do as I say, and remember to do it cleanly."

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Su Cheng gave Xu Zhanfeng the Star River Ruler along with it.

Xu Zhanfeng accepted the gift with both hands: "Zhanfeng will not fail in his mission!"

"It's alright. If you can't handle it, I'll go over there. Let me know if there are any problems."

"Yes, sir, rest assured."

Su Cheng nodded, indicating that Xu Zhanfeng could leave.

With Xu Zhanfeng's current strength, even if he hasn't reached the Mahayana stage, he must be at least in the late-stage Fusion stage.

If it were like the Demon Emperor back then, fighting against many enemies single-handedly, it might be difficult, but if it were just one or two, it shouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, Su Cheng even lent him the Star River Ruler, so there's probably no problem.

"Yu Lan, it's time for us to set off."

Yu Lan nodded. She quite liked riding the sword with Su Cheng. The feeling of being held in Su Cheng's arms was addictive and reassuring.

It was like her second home, something that Long found hard to leave behind.

With a long sword piercing the sky, Su Cheng planned to deal with two families, one for each of them, along with Xu Zhanfeng.

"Husband?"

"Um."

Leaning against Su Cheng, her milky-white head resting on his chest, Yu Lan spoke slowly.

"May I stay with my husband forever?"

Su Cheng looked down at Yu Lan with a hint of surprise and chuckled.

"It depends on your performance."

Yu Lan stomped her foot, causing the flying sword to stagger.

"Hmph! I'm not going to be with my husband anymore!" she said, her little pink fist punching Su Cheng's thigh in a deliberately fierce manner.

The two joked and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at their destination.

Where is this? Yu Lan didn't know, and neither did Su Cheng; this was how the system navigated.

One of the twelve powerful demon clan members resides here.

"Where is this place?"

Since Yu Lan had asked so sincerely, Su Cheng, after reading the system, decided to mercifully tell her!

"This is Tingyun Ravine in Wohu Mountain, one of the twelve sacred domains of the demon race, much like a top sect of the human race. Do you understand now?"

Yu Lan is a complete shut-in; she's always stayed at home and rarely goes out unless absolutely necessary.

The last time I went out was a thousand years ago. Where have I ever heard of any holy land?

"Husband, could you please stop treating me like a child?"

"Haha, you found out?"

"It's not hard to notice." Yu Lan gave another light punch, as if they were flirting.

Yu Lan, the Dragon King, is used to his wife being obedient and sensible in public, but now that it's just the two of them, Yu Lan won't treat her like a servant.

However, Su Cheng didn't care about this, something he rarely experienced.

Since transmigrating, he has always been a leader, and no one around him has ever been like Yu Lan.

Su Cheng quite enjoyed teasing Yu Lan; her angry little expression paired with her cute, loli-like face was quite amusing.

The two chatted and laughed all the way, and before long they arrived at the heart of the enemy's lair. Surprisingly, there were no guards along the way.

The northern border is sparsely populated, and the scenery of Tingyun Gorge is beautiful. The two of them seemed to be enjoying the scenery.

The Lingxian Palace is no longer just her and Qinghan. Even if it's just Yu Lan and Xu Zhanfeng, they are already hard to match in this world.

Even though Yu Lanzong, the Dragon King, was no less powerful than Ye Qinghan's mother, his strength was beyond question.

Who goes there?
