He was even considering going there to retire once everything settled down. After all, transitioning from city life to cultivating immortality is a classic trope...
That's why he sent Su Lin to exchange and learn – ever since Pan Ling took over the affairs of "Snake Ring", Director Su has had a lot of free time.
In addition, she wasn't taken along when they went to the Hualan Empire at sea before, so in the First Madam's mind, besides being affectionate with her young master, going out to see the world was also one of her pursuits. In the past two years, she has traveled around a lot as a representative stationed abroad.
However, this was the first time they had asked for help.
Firstly, she doesn't go out to sea alone. She's either with Yu Xingchuan or with a few other girls. For example, this time she went on a group trip with Tang Shuang and Lin Yue. When the three of them get together, it's good enough if they don't bully others. It's hard for them to really be at a disadvantage when they fight.
Furthermore, they are an overseas mission. Having witnessed the strength of the alliance, the Qingyun Immortal Realm would not act rashly. The mission itself was accompanied by a combat team. If they really wanted to harm them, they would have to consider the consequences.
Therefore, what prompted her to send a message like "provide support as soon as possible" must be no small matter.
"...We can't delay any longer. Immediately notify the joint operations team near the Azure Cloud Immortal Realm to provide support as quickly as possible."
Xu Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's pack up as soon as possible and notify the Maritime Safety Administration to arrange the fleet to depart within an hour."
"Okay, I'll contact them now."
Xia Wuyou nodded. Of course, she wouldn't be absent from this situation. She then grabbed her coat and went to contact various parties.
"Little Rabbit, Xiaoling, and Chengcheng, you can stay here. You'll be in charge of all the internal and external affairs of Night Sin City during this period. If you encounter anything you're unsure about, go to your grandfather first, understand?"
Xu Shi continued making arrangements. Now that Night City of Sin is the hub of the alliance, the whole family can no longer work together as before.
"I can work remotely now..."
Gu Yi still wanted to be with Xu Shi, so she blinked and tried to persuade him.
"No, let's not."
Xu Shi shook his head. "You just said you encountered an unknown hacker attack, and then this happened. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Especially given that the unknown hacker is very likely a member of "Tianli" (a group of people who practice martial arts), it's hard not to think twice—either don't do it at all or do it to the extreme, which is a tactic he has used for many years.
We can't neglect one thing for another. We should provide support, but we also need to catch the disruptive hackers. Otherwise, we'll end up like a bear trying to pick corn.
Not to mention that the network coverage in the Azure Cloud Immortal Realm is not yet widespread. What if they go there rashly and encounter a network outage? That's why they were told to contact Grandpa Wen first. He was afraid that he would lose contact with Night Sin City.
"...Do you really have to go too?"
Jiang Chengcheng never opposed his arrangements, but she still couldn't help but offer a word of advice.
"Of course, I can bully my Su Lin, but what right do others have?"
Xu Shi uttered a rather arrogant line, "And once it really gets involved with 'Heavenly Principles,' I absolutely cannot be absent."
Just be careful in everything.
Jiang Chengcheng nodded. She and Su Lin were best friends, and she sincerely hoped that Su Lin would be safe and sound. With Xu Shi as her pillar of support, she could feel much more at ease.
"However, it is indeed a bit strange that these things have all come together."
While helping Xu Shi pack his luggage, she thoughtfully analyzed, "Hopefully it's just a coincidence, otherwise... it really would be 'heaven's justice' declaring war on us."
Xu Shi also hoped things would turn out this way, after all, the alliance and interaction around the world was only in its initial stage, and everything still seemed turbulent. At this time, peace and harmony were especially important.
The trouble Su Lin encountered in the Azure Cloud Immortal Realm was not necessarily due to "heavenly justice"—people there were inherently unstable, and it was possible that some might change their minds or go back on their word.
Or perhaps it's the so-called "protagonist" starting to exert their power... Speaking of which, although the Qingyun Immortal Realm is vast, Boss Xu, who has read historical records, has noticed that there are very few special existences in the long river of history. Even if there are, they are more like great masters encountered by the protagonist on his journey, rather than the protagonist himself.
This situation is not unusual. In fact, about a quarter of the city-states in the discovered areas are like this, with the emergence of a "protagonist" and the cycle of the protagonist's growth and the world restarting being significantly slower than in other regions.
Of these, nearly 70-80% are B- and C-level city-states. This is clearly not a coincidence. According to Xu Shi's judgment, these areas are probably less valuable, so "Tianli" has placed them in a lower priority position and chosen to focus more on A-level city-states.
As for the remaining 20%, it's more like balancing this ratio, and it also includes S-level regions like the Azure Cloud Immortal Realm.
Therefore, it's not necessarily "divine justice" that's taking action... This also applies to hacker attacks; such matters should never be judged arbitrarily.
However, even if I say this, I might not believe it myself at the moment, so I still have to prepare for the worst.
"Anyway, we always knew this day would come, right?"
Thinking this way, he felt much more at ease and smiled at Jiang Chengcheng. "It might not be a bad thing if it's sooner. If I can end my entanglement with 'Heavenly Principle' sooner, wouldn't I be able to enjoy and squander more of my life?"
"You're not such a spineless person, are you?"
Jiang Chengcheng was amused and handed him the "Yujing" next to her. "Here, take this. I just upgraded it a while ago. It should be able to help you."
