"Next..."
After thinking for a while, Yan Quan calmly stated his arrangements.
Because the atmosphere was so delicate, Yan Quan was finally able to arrange everything. After leaving Ming Shuling and Xie Xingxing at the stronghold, he was about to lead his men back to the small town.
However, contrary to her usual behavior, Su Yao chose to stay at the base, saying she wanted to keep an eye on the two of them, and Yan Quan did not refuse.
Ten days passed quickly. During these days, Yan Quan kept managing this branch alliance and gradually became the center of attention.
During this time, he also went to the stronghold of that demonic sect to give Ming Shuling and Xie Xingxing instructions on how to explain things to their superiors and prolong the negotiation process.
Moreover, Su Yao sometimes seemed to manage things herself, collecting information about the Demonic Sect. Her relationship with Ming Shuling inexplicably grew closer. However, from that day on, Ming Shuling really stopped paying attention to Yan Quan.
Yan Quan felt that she must have been disappointed in him and then gave up on him.
That's fine too. When we get her safely back to Minglan, we can do her a favor...
"Phew...it seems everyone's really getting anxious."
In an elegant courtyard, holding documents and sipping hot tea, Yan Quan spoke leisurely.
"Senior brother, are we going over there today?"
The white-haired beauty standing to the side stared at Yan Quan with her blue eyes and poured another pot of tea into his cup.
Over the past few days, Chu Ruoxue has been following Yan Quan around, serving him tea and water, and taking very good care of him.
After being brainwashed by her master Bai Miaomiao, Chu Ruoxue was happy to do the same thing, turning her senior brother into a useless little brat who couldn't live without her.
"Hmm... If you ask me, we should just storm into the headquarters of that cult and bring them out."
On the other side, the adorable dragon girl with colorful hair was eating a small pastry. She waved her little hand, then ate the whole thing in one gulp.
These Tianlong Cai Le (a type of amulet) have always been with Yan Quan, who feeds them to them at will, like raising a little pet.
Aside from the occasional disturbances from Chu Ruoxue and others to his sleep, things were much quieter.
"The Demonic Sect is about to discover the problem, and the rest of us are worried that if we delay any longer, it will be too late."
After all, I've been advising them these past few days to scale back their actions and only make a show of force in a few places, which will keep them safe for the time being.
Over time, outsiders will discover the clues and launch a coordinated attack.
"It's about time. The Demonic Sect should be sending new members down in the next couple of days..."
Yan Quan shook his small cup and speculated.
"Weren't the people we sent a few days ago all supposed to be disguised as righteous people and intercepted?"
"Wouldn't it be better if the same thing came this time?"
Chu Ruoxue said softly as she helped Yan Quan tidy up the documents he had put down.
"...
This time is different. I really have to go today, and I'll be staying there for the next few days. If things go well, I estimate I'll be able to see them in just a few days.
Yan Quan was still a little uncomfortable looking at Chu Ruoxue being so well-behaved, but considering that she had always been like this in the sect, he didn't mind.
Back when he was in the sect, having such a stunningly beautiful woman following him around every day caused him a lot of trouble.
"What could be different? Are you deliberately stalling for time? Hmm..."
Long Caile puffed out her cheeks and stammered, while Chu Ruoxue stared at Yan Quan, reaching out to wipe his mouth with a small handkerchief.
"Although the powerful cult leader probably won't come, he will likely send a trusted confidant to investigate the situation. This person cannot be touched."
Those few women couldn't handle it, so as soon as they sent word, I had to go there.
Yan Quan said calmly, and sent out a letter to inform Deng Yuan and the others.
After all that happened, Deng Yuan didn't ask any more questions. He had a high opinion of people like this who seemed unreliable on the surface but were actually sensible.
It's just a pity...
"Isn't that Su Yao over there? Just let her do it. Didn't you say you came here to help her?"
Long Caile said casually. Like the other girls, she knew that Yan Quan and these strange people might have something in common, but she didn't care at all.
After all, as long as the right to speak remains, he can simply wait for an opportunity to monopolize it later.
Their status and life experience destined them to not share their possessions with others.
"Yeah, senior brother, why don't we just let that woman take the responsibility? Wouldn't it be better to squeeze her value out of her now?"
And from what Xue'er has observed these past few days... why does it seem like Senior Brother is particularly adept at getting along with people from the Demonic Sect?
Chu Ruoxue asked with a smile, her appearance sweet, but her tone carried a hint of coldness.
"Uh... this is the benefit of traveling a lot. After I get there, you two will stay here and guard this place for me as usual. The people from the Demonic Sect might come to attack this place."
Yan Quan made up an excuse, but the two women's expressions immediately turned sour when he mentioned that he was going there.
"Why should I, a princess, be stationed here? This matter has nothing to do with me."
"You've eaten so much of their food, you should at least give them something in return, right?"
"They're offering you sacrifices, aren't they? According to the rules of the dragon race, aren't you obligated to protect them?"
Yan Quan squinted at Long Cai Le and said.
"I, I..."
