If you can't do that, then as he said, go back to where you came from.
Soldier Number Thirty-One gripped his storage ring tightly, watching the departing figure and muttering, "Is this the arrogance of the number one warrior on the battlefield? Truly living up to his reputation!"
"What should we do? Does he not want us to follow him?" a soldier questioned, suggesting that this was clearly an attempt to prevent them from completing their mission.
"Pack your things, let's go!"
Number 31 slung his pack over his shoulder and headed straight for the nearest safe zone. They were the kings among warriors, and they would never admit defeat unless they lost their lives.
...
"Isn't this too harsh on them?"
Jiang Yuan, who had already walked quite a distance, was being questioned by Liu Zhaodi.
“Being strict is a way of protecting them,” Jiang Yuan said dismissively. If they couldn’t even handle this simple task, then there was no point in following him.
This time he's venturing into a den of dragons and tigers; if he doesn't have the ability, he'd be better off staying to protect the land of Kyushu, rather than risking his life with him.
"By the way, what about the secrets of destiny at the astrology palace? Why don't you ask your dear sister if she has any?" Liu Zhaodi thought of the seventh secret, which is the secret of destiny.
"I've already asked, and Sister Suxin said that the Astrology Palace has a secret of destiny, but it requires the joint summoning of the Palace Masters of both the Divination and Astrology schools to bring the secret of destiny out of the Astrology Secret Realm." Jiang Yuan said with a somewhat helpless expression. Clearly, the difficulty of obtaining this secret of destiny far exceeds that of the current secret arts.
"And who is Gong Suxin?"
Jiang Yuan didn't hide anything and explained, "Sister Suxin is the Palace Master of the Divination School, while Zhong Litong is the Palace Master of the Astrology School."
"Isn't Gong Suxin the true successor of the Astrology Palace? Why does she need Zhong Litong to assist her? Could it be that she doesn't want to give you the secret of fate?" Liu Zhaodi remained as wary as ever of the women around Jiang Yuan.
"Don't be so paranoid. Sister Suxin isn't that kind of person. It's just that Zhonglitong is indeed a bit better than Sister Suxin in the way of cause and effect, and she even has the ancient artifact Hetu Luoshu in her possession," Jiang Yuan said helplessly.
"No, who said Zhong Litong is stronger!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, a furious voice suddenly exploded in his mind, even reaching beyond Jiang Yuan's mind, so that Liu Zhaodi could hear the clear furious voice.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"No, Jiang Yuan, how could you speak ill of another woman behind her back, saying she's inferior to the other woman?" Gong Suxin's voice rang out again.
This sentence silenced Liu Zhaodi; she didn't seem to quite catch which woman was being referred to.
"Zhong Litong's unorthodox astrology is just a smattering; she's only scratched the surface. It's nowhere near as proper as mine," Gong Suxin said, trying to save face.
“Yes, yes, you are the right one,” Jiang Yuan immediately echoed.
"That's sarcastic and weird," Gong Suxin snapped.
"No, how could I be being sarcastic when I'm being so humble!" Jiang Yuan pleaded.
"Forget it, it's just a secret technique. Give me some time, and I'll get it for you!"
Gong Suxin finally gave Jiang Yuan a positive answer, but the timing was still up for discussion, since it was almost impossible to obtain the Life Secret in a short period of time.
However, after Jiang Yuan completed one cave heaven, he realized that it was not feasible to cultivate only one life secret in the upper heaven. Therefore, his goal was still the three secret techniques in the middle heaven. As long as he broke through the limit in the middle three heavens and completed the eternal cave heaven, his injuries would definitely be fine.
Next target: the Jiang family!
"This is it!"
In a corner of Ancheng, a man and a woman appeared.
The Jiang family's location, Ancheng, was familiar to both Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi. It was the city where Jiang Yuan had stayed the longest and where the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce was based.
"Do you know why I chose to establish the headquarters of the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce in Ancheng?" Liu Zhaodi suddenly asked.
"No need to guess, it must be related to me." Jiang Yuan smiled smugly.
Liu Zhaodi nodded upon hearing this, and recalled with a smile, "At first, I didn't think Ancheng was a good place. It doesn't have the convenient teleportation of Suzhou, nor the developed mineral resources of Beijing, nor the coastal economy of Haicheng. But in the end, I still chose to locate the headquarters of the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce here. The reason is that I wanted to stay in the city where you grew up and follow in your footsteps step by step."
"If I still have a home!"
Jiang Yuan's words interrupted Liu Zhaodi's attempt to continue. After a few seconds of silence, the two burst into cheerful laughter in perfect unison.
“Are you stupid? Wherever I am, that’s where your home is. If you don’t have a home, then all my hard work in creating this safe haven has been for nothing!” Liu Zhaodi pointed to the Chaoyuan Building in the distance and said proudly, “This is all the world I built for you. It’s all your home. Pick whichever you like.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan rested his chin on his hand and scrutinized Liu Zhaodi with great interest. Then, he said in a very deep voice, "There is a safe haven, but it's too small to accommodate my big ship!"
Seeing Jiang Yuan's lecherous gaze, Liu Zhaodi threw a punch, yelling as she punched him, "You bastard, who are you calling too small!"
Jiang Yuan ran wildly, adding fuel to the fire as he ran, saying, "No, I'm doing this for the sake of my future children. I don't mind suffering, but I can't let my children suffer!"
"I don't know if the child is suffering, but I do know that you're definitely going to have a lot of hardship right now!"
One ran and the other chased, the two of them weaving through the streets and alleys of Ancheng like children.
