The truly wise live in seclusion in the city.
Under the cover of night, Xie Baochai teleported with her mother and younger brother to the VIP room of Linjiang Tower in Linjiang City, where they gathered together, bewildered and at a loss.
Xie Qianshi sobbed worriedly, "Waaah, where in this world can the three of us, mother and children, find refuge?"
"Mother, don't be sad, we'll be alright!" Xie Baochai hugged her mother to comfort her, her heart in turmoil, while also trying to calm her own flustered mind.
Only Xie Da said angrily, "We have nowhere to go, all because of our clansmen and Prince Rong. If I have the chance, I will kill them all..."
"Young man, don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten the lesson that being quick-witted is the most incompetent thing to do?" Xie Baochai frowned and looked up, waiting for her younger brother to scold her, feeling disappointed in him.
The biological father was tortured to death, and all the clansmen sided with the murderer of their father.
These are not terrible. With perseverance, there will always be a time to turn the tide and avenge our defeat.
A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.
However, if one becomes powerless and furious due to pressure from enemies, one loses the will to endure and rise above one's circumstances, turning into a reckless fool. Once one goes astray, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Being young and impetuous is not advisable.
Cultivate your character and strive for longevity; anything is possible.
This is the motto they forged during their years of house arrest: to uphold their original intentions and hope and strive to cultivate themselves!
Madam Xie Qian also scolded her eldest son with concern: "Da'er, you are not a child anymore. How can you be so reckless and commit the taboo of youthful arrogance?"
Do you realize that your impulsiveness, if you accidentally let something slip outside, could lead to utter disaster...?
"Mother, I was wrong, I will never do it again!" Xie Da admitted his mistake with suppressed anger, his eyes filled with barely concealed ferocity and a hint of murderous intent.
Young and impetuous, Xie Baochai couldn't bear to scold her younger brother: "Alright, let's discuss what to do next?"
"Baochai, have you secretly built up a power base?" Xie Qianshi recalled that during her argument with the clan elders tonight, she heard them mention that Prince Rong was very perceptive and had been monitoring the power base that Xie Baochai had built.
It wasn't a big deal originally.
If this is true, then all the power Xie Baochai built fell under the surveillance of Prince Rong, not only benefiting others but also cutting off her escape route, which would be fatal.
Is there nowhere else to go in this vast world?
Isn't this going to kill me?
Xie Baochai's face fell: "Mother, how could I have known that there was a problem with the environment that led to Prince Rong monitoring everything I do?"
Now the power that his daughter built with her own hands can no longer be used.
Many of the established safe zones are also inaccessible…
"Baochai, is it safe here?"
"Why don't we escape to the mountains and forests to avoid trouble, and come back when things calm down?" Xie Qian was determined to escape the world.
Perhaps only by living in seclusion can one have a glimmer of hope?
After all, the world was in turmoil, with all forces attacking each other, and no power or family could escape the vortex of a major reshuffle.
This would involve Prince Rong and all the other powerful and influential people. As long as the three of them hide well and avoid the sharp edge of Prince Rong and his group for a short time, they will be safe and sound.
Major events involving the key, the seal, and authority all erupted, leaving the people and forces involved with little energy to hunt down the three of them.
Is that the theoretical principle?
However, Xie Baochai shook her head and rejected the idea, saying, "Mother, even if we choose to live in seclusion, others will not let us have peace."
After all, the amber key her daughter threw out was fake!
"Oh dear, what should we do!" Xie Qian cried anxiously, which attracted Zheng Ya, who was hiding in the air as a thief and was tempted.
The key that Xie Baochai presented was indeed fake.
What a clever girl! She managed to deceive the whole world with her deception, which will probably drive all those with good intentions crazy.
As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire.
Nowadays, the whole world is spreading rumors that the Xie family has secretly kept the key to unlock the secret realm of the seal. Then, Xie Baochai throws out a fake key to deceive people, which inadvertently admits that she has secretly kept the key.
This is tantamount to provoking enemies from all over the world, making it impossible to live in peace.
He's both terrible at the game and loves to play!
Zheng Ya didn't think Xie Baochai was stupid; he could only say that her opponent was too strong.
Putting aside Prince Rong, who imprisoned Xie Baochai's family, even Zheng Ya couldn't do anything about the invisible man who stole the key.
The invisible man comes and goes in a flash, leaving no trace. How can you fight him?
Of course, if Zheng Ya were given another chance to fight the Invisible Man, he would be fully capable of defeating him.
The problem is that since the invisible person is doing things invisibly and doesn't show her face, it's impossible for anyone to know her true identity.
This means there's no way to start.
What kind of situation is it to have to guard against invisible people attacking you?
Xie Baochai shook her head and sighed: "Mother, please don't be sad. Perhaps the Dai family can bring us a glimmer of hope?"
"Oh, didn't the Dai clan disappear?" Xie Qian had already noticed the secret marks left by the Dai clan before their disappearance during Zheng Ya's second rescue of the Dai clan, and then retired into seclusion.
The secret marks were a set of communication codes deliberately set up by the leaders of the five tribes for their elite assassins to search for the imperial seal.
After all, casualties are inevitable during the search for the whereabouts of the imperial seal.
Whether it was for the wounded and retired assassins who needed to be settled and cared for, for communication between families, or to prevent the imperial power and other forces from discovering the inside story, it was necessary to set up a set of secret marks to prevent exposure from leading to the extermination of the entire family.
So, the secret mark left by the Dai family before they disappeared was to tell the other four families that the Dai family should temporarily go into hiding.
This signifies that the Dai clan suffered few casualties and preserved its fighting strength.
This also implies that the Dai family has the right to share the seal for longevity among the four families, and that they can leave secret marks to contact each other if they have information.
However, only the heads of the five major families, their mistresses, and the assassins knew about these secret marks. Logically speaking, Xie Baochai should not have known them.
So how did Xie Baochai find out about Dai's comeback?
Even Zheng Ya was shocked. So the Dai family was waiting for me here?
Dai must have something to hide; he's definitely up to no good.
How can you be so ungrateful to Daiyu for protecting you?
Zheng Ya was inexplicably angry. While feeling sorry for Daiyu, he also found Daiyu incredibly ridiculous, both incompetent and fond of playing games.
Didn't the Dai family realize that such a thing couldn't be kept secret once it broke out, and how would they face their former benefactors then?
Could it be that the Dai family thought that by uniting the five major families, they could seize the seal, obtain the inheritance in the secret realm, and then ascend to the upper realm and disappear without a trace?
Is that possible?
Do the royal family and the various powerful families agree?
Do Wu Wei and Sheng Xiang agree?
Even Zheng Ya himself wouldn't agree. He immediately felt that the Dai family's decision was terrible. They didn't make good business partners, but treated them as enemies and outsiders. It was truly unbelievable!
Xie Baochai shook her head with a wry smile: "Mother, I only learned about the key to unlocking the secret realm of the seal by writing to you."
The daughter naturally knew nothing about anything related to the key, but she was also one of the implementers of Baochai's plan and had more or less intercepted the intelligence obtained by Prince Rong's spies and informants.
Has Prince Rong already set his sights on the Dai family?
However, the daughter also sent a letter to the Dai family, saying that if the Dai family were ambushed by Prince Rong, they might choose to cooperate with her..."
