The people now have only one hope in their hearts, that is, they hope that Marshal Cao can bring back Young Master Xie Qi's body safely.

They stood at the city gate, looking forward to something, their faces filled with anxiety and worry. At this moment, the front of a black car appeared at the end of the road in the distance.

When the car drove into the city, the people rushed forward like a tide, rushing towards the car, eager to know whether Young Master Xie Qi's body was intact.

Wang Zi was startled by the sudden surge of people. Because the crowd was too dense, the car was forced to stop.

"Marshal, have the young master's body been found?" An old man asked with tears on his face and a trembling voice.

"It's all our fault. If we found the body, we would definitely bury it properly!" another middle-aged man said immediately, his tone full of guilt and self-blame.

"Alas, I insulted the young master before, and now I regret it so much! From now on, I will burn paper money for him every day and pray for his rest in peace."

The people were talking at once, and everyone's words were filled with deep apologies to Young Master Xie Qi.

Wang Zi was a bit confused at first, not immediately understanding what had happened. But when he looked up and saw Lan'er crying silently outside the crowd, he suddenly understood. Lan'er must have told the people the truth.

Then, Wang Zi slowly turned his head and looked at Xie Qi who was sleeping quietly on Cao Ze's lap in the back row.

During the days in prison, Xie Qi hardly slept. Even if he was able to fall into a deep sleep occasionally, it was usually because he fainted.

So on the way back to the city, Xie Qi, exhausted both physically and mentally, finally couldn't hold on any longer. He rested his head on Cao Ze's thigh without any protection and fell into a deep sleep.

And precisely because he was lying flat at this time, the people outside the car window were unable to see Xie Qi's figure immediately.

At this moment, Wang Zi and Cao Ze exchanged a glance, and Cao Ze shook his head slightly. Wang Zi, understanding his intention, immediately reached out and opened the car window.

Then he whispered to the people gathered around him, "Everyone, please be quiet. Xie Qi just fell asleep. Don't wake him up."

As soon as Wang Zi finished speaking, the crowd, which had been boisterous just moments before, fell silent. The people stared wide-eyed, stunned, listening to Wang Zi's words, unable to recover for a moment.

However, in this silence, someone suddenly couldn't suppress his curiosity and quietly leaned over the car window.

When he caught a glimpse of Xie Qi sleeping soundly in the back row, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! Xie Qi!"

Before his exclamation had faded, he suddenly met Cao Ze's hawk-like gaze. He quickly reached out and covered his mouth tightly with both hands, afraid of making any more noise.

The people who heard the noise quickly rushed to the side of the car, scrambling to lean against the windows and peering inside as if there were treasures inside.

Xie Qi was also awakened by the scream. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the entire car window glass was densely packed with faces that were flattened and distorted by the glass. The eyes were staring at him like hungry wolves, not even blinking.

Such a horrifying scene was like a nightmare. He subconsciously blurted out a curse: "Fuck!"

His body involuntarily leaned to the side. If Cao Ze hadn't been quick to catch him in time, Xie Qi would have fallen under the seat.

"Are you okay?" Cao Ze asked with concern.

Xie Qi gently patted his chest and replied, "I'm fine..."

However, when he finally sat down, he turned his head and was once again met with those distorted faces in the car window behind him.

Xie Qi: "Fuck! What the hell?!"

It was not until this moment that he realized that not only the left and right car windows were occupied by these distorted faces, but also the front windshield.

Xie Qi: "I traveled through time again? To the end of the world?"

On the other side, Cao Ze quietly looked at Xie Qi with a look of astonishment on his face. Then, he raised his hand, stretched out his slender fingers, and gently tapped the car window glass beside him.

When the people gathered outside the car saw Cao Ze make this move, they immediately made way for the car door.

Cao Ze tilted his head slightly and said slowly to Xie Qi in the car, "Wait for me first." After that, he reached out and pushed open the car door, and then quickly closed it.

The people watched Cao Ze get off the car. Although they had many questions in their minds, when their eyes met Cao Ze's cold and majestic face, they couldn't help but feel a little fear in their hearts.

However, Cao Ze seemed oblivious and continued walking straight towards the driver's seat. With a slight sound, the driver's door was suddenly opened by him.

Wang Zi, who was originally sitting inside, was dragged out of the car by Cao Ze before he could react. Then, Cao Ze sat steadily in the driver's seat.

"If you have any questions, you can ask him." Cao Ze glanced at the people around him expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "I need to send Young Master Xie to receive medical treatment immediately."

When everyone heard this, especially after learning that Cao Ze's action was to treat Xie Qi's injuries, they all showed a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces, and then consciously made way for a wide passage for the vehicle.

After Cao Ze drove away, all the people's eyes were focused on Wang Zi who remained where he was.

After all, even if they had some doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to ask questions to the serious and cold Marshal Cao. But when facing Wang Zi, they did not have so many concerns, because Wang Zi was easy to talk to.

At this moment, Wang Zi looked at the people who were like wolves and tigers who seemed to want to eat him. He slowly retreated and couldn't help but shout loudly: "Cao Ze! Don't be so disloyal!!!"

After the people learned the details of the whole incident from Wang Zi, they became more certain that Young Master Xie Qi was a hero favored by God, otherwise why would the fire not burn him.

The story of Xie Qi's deeds quickly spread to every corner of the city. Everyone who heard about it was horrified and shocked.

Later, the great deeds of Master Xie Qi, who had a dual identity, worked silently undercover, and stepped forward to save the country from danger, not only became a hot topic of discussion on the streets, but was even written into a story and circulated.

Even Mei Lin saw this excellent business opportunity and meticulously wrote a play overnight with Master Xie Qi as the protagonist.

Since Meilin's teahouse happened to be where Xie Qi worked in another capacity, the opera was sold out every time it was performed, making Meilin a fortune.

At first, Mei Lin shamelessly wanted Xie Qi to perform on stage himself, but was finally ruthlessly kicked out by Cao Ze.
