In a quiet room inside the ship's cabin, Ye Wuque sat cross-legged quietly, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly in a semi-sleep state.
Inside the ship's cabin, Zheng Qiulin, Uncle Chen, and Old Lei were surrounding Mr. Wang, all with a hint of worry on their faces.
"Mr. Wang, how are you feeling? Is anything wrong?"
Zheng Qiulin spoke with concern.
At this moment, Mr. Wang's face was still somewhat pale, and his brows were slightly furrowed, clearly indicating that he had a splitting headache!
Clearly, although he did not die, his previous actions of being "possessed by cause and effect" still damaged his soul and essence. Now that he has regained consciousness, there will definitely be aftereffects.
"Young Master, don't worry, I'm fine. As long as I'm not dead, it's not a big problem. It's just a bit of a headache."
Mr. Wang spoke in this way because he was a military strategist with remarkable willpower; even with a splitting headache, he was still able to remain calm.
"I never expected something like this to happen to me. It almost implicated the young master, Elder Lei, and the third steward..."
Mr. Wang, his brow furrowed, couldn't understand it and felt a lingering fear.
"Mr. Wang, it's alright. Just like you said, it's best that everyone is alright."
"We are very lucky. Master Maple Leaf is a senior expert. It is our blessing!" Zheng Qiulin said with emotion.
"Mr. Wang, do you really remember nothing? Don't you feel anything at all?"
Old Lei, still somewhat unwilling to give up, pressed on with his question.
Mr. Wang shook his head gently.
"I really don't remember. My only impression is that after I stepped out of the airship, my consciousness suddenly became hazy and blurred, like the feeling before falling asleep. It came on extremely violently, and then it was all darkness. I couldn't feel anything until I woke up in excruciating pain. I felt completely drained and extremely uncomfortable, but I don't remember anything."
Mr. Wang then described all his perceptions in detail again.
"There must be a reason why all these things suddenly happened to me..."
"Young Master, this Lord Maple Leaf should have already questioned you, right?" Mr. Wang asked Zheng Qiulin.
Zheng Qiulin nodded: "Lord Maple Leaf said he wants to see my mother, and if possible, he is even willing to help her."
"He also asked if you had ever had any strange experiences. I thought about it and the only thing I could think of was what my mother had told me about, Mr. Wang, the time you and my mother were kidnapped when you were children..."
Zheng Qiulin truly trusted Mr. Wang completely and told him everything.
"When I was a child, my mistress and I were kidnapped together?" Mr. Wang, whose brows were already furrowed, frowned even more deeply.
"That's just what the mistress has always said. When I was a child, I didn't feel anything. I just felt like I took a nap, and it felt like a very short time passed, and nothing happened..."
Clearly, Mr. Wang has almost no memory of this experience from his childhood and has always felt that Zheng Qiulin's mother might be overthinking things.
Besides, that happened so many years ago?
If something really was going to happen, would they have waited until now?
Being abducted as a child and being possessed while in a state of confusion not long ago seem to have little to do with each other.
“I think so too, but according to Lord Maple Leaf’s requirements, Mr. Wang, the only strange thing about you is this.” Zheng Qiulin still finds it strange.
Mr. Wang took a deep breath, seemingly to ease his headache, before continuing, "Young Master, you're right!"
"In any case, it's already a great blessing that someone like Lord Maple Leaf can be relatively principled!"
"Moreover, without him, I might not have even woken up. I was in too much of a hurry just now, so I must go and properly thank Lord Maple Leaf!"
After saying that, he stood up unsteadily and, with Uncle Chen's help, walked towards the quiet room.
Knock knock knock.
"Enter."
The door to the quiet room opened, and Ye Wuque remained seated cross-legged, not even glancing at them.
"What's up?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang immediately clasped his hands and bowed respectfully to Ye Wuque!
"Wang Huaijin, thank you so much, Lord Maple Leaf, for saving my life! And thank you so much, Lord Maple Leaf, for your magnanimity in sparing my life!"
Wang Huaijin's words of gratitude came from the bottom of her heart.
If it were any other powerful being, there would basically only be one outcome for their actions...
He was slapped to death!
"What I'm looking for is the real mastermind; you... are just an unlucky pawn."
"Killing you is unnecessary."
At this moment, Ye Wuque still maintained his persona as a "senior master with an eccentric temper but certain principles," and spoke calmly.
After saying this, Ye Wuque remained silent.
"Thank you, Maple Leaf!"
"We won't disturb Lord Maple's rest any longer! Please feel free to ask if you need anything!" Zheng Qiulin bowed respectfully and then helped Wang Huaijin out of the quiet room.
Inside the ship's cabin, Wang Huaijin sat down again and swallowed several more pills. Finally, a touch of rosiness returned to his pale face.
"Lord Maple Leaf examined me; perhaps he really did discover something..."
"But Lord Maple didn't say. If he didn't say, there must be a reason why he didn't say."
"Young Master, what we need to do now is to establish a good relationship with Lord Maple Leaf as much as possible! It's worth any price to pay!"
"This is a powerful being who is probably comparable to the 'Ancestor'!"
"Now, although we have successfully obtained the 'Heavenly Fragrance Resurrection Grass,' and there is hope for a cure for the mistress's condition, the situation within the family... you know..."
Wang Huaijin, as expected of Zheng Qiulin's military advisor, had already continued to strategize for Zheng Qiulin as soon as his own situation stabilized slightly.
"The key to this lineage possessed by the matriarch!"
"Therefore, the other two factions are hoping something happens to the mistress. If something happens to her and you're not there, they'll definitely cause trouble!"
"Although we paid a huge price to have a 'respected elder' personally oversee things this time, it has taken too long, more than half a month. Nobody knows what might happen!"
"Fortunately, I can get back now, but my intuition tells me something's wrong. That 'key' is too important! After all, it concerns the Zheng family's treasured 'Cloud and Water Divine Treasure.' Controlling a key is equivalent to holding the initiative!"
"This time, we must not only protect the mistress, but also ensure that this key is truly passed down to you!"
Wang Huaijin's voice was firm and resonant, carrying a powerful and resounding quality.
Zheng Qiulin's eyes flickered as he listened!
"Mr. Wang means... he hopes I can borrow Maple Leaf's power?"
"No, no, someone like Lord Maple Leaf is impossible to recruit, let alone invite. Even if you offered everything, it would be almost impossible. Besides, the thoughts of someone like him are unimaginable. If I were to show such thoughts..."
"Young Master, do you think Lord Maple Leaf didn't notice?"
"You said it yourself, how could you possibly hide from the eyes of someone like that?" Wang Huaijin shook his head and chuckled.
Zheng Qiulin was startled: "Mr. Wang, do you mean that Lord Maple Leaf has already seen through my thoughts?"
"Of course! Don't even think about playing tricks on someone like this! I've said it more than once, this is very likely an unfathomable powerhouse comparable to the 'Ancestor'!"
"But, Lord Maple Leaf didn't bring it up himself. What does that mean?" A spark of wisdom flashed in Wang Huaijin's eyes.
"That means, to a certain extent, Lord Maple Leaf tacitly allows us to borrow his authority. At the very least, it should be permissible before Lord Maple Leaf achieves his own goals."
"Since Lord Maple's goal is to see the mistress, and specifically, to see the mistress who has regained consciousness, then anyone who dares to obstruct him before that is going against Lord Maple!"
"This... is the luckiest thing about us!"
"Therefore, in the meantime, we must try our best to leave a good impression on Lord Maple."
After Wang Huaijin's analysis, Zheng Qiulin understood the situation even better.
Inside the quiet room, Ye Wuque, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, and a brilliant illusory image of wings of light flickered in his eyes!
The Love-Sickness Imperial Technique has already been activated silently!
"The secret method of cause and effect..."
"Silent and traceless!"
A faint, mysterious radiance of cause and effect emerged, immediately enveloping the sleeping Xiao Wutian inside the six-winged holy eagle.
