Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 308 The Old Ox's Life: Three Great Joys

Listening to Li Qingyuan's analysis, Yue Qinghuan nodded gently; she had already considered this as well.

She said slowly, "I also feel that something is wrong."

"But in my opinion, Yunyi's move might be an attempt to annoy the Wang family."

"After all, my Treasure Pavilion has always had a pretty good relationship with various powerful forces, and I have a very good personal relationship with Wang Anran, the direct descendant of the Wang family."

"Yun Yi's actions may be an attempt to sow discord between the Treasure Pavilion and the Wang family..."

"But don't worry, I'll let Wang Anran know about this beforehand."

"In this way, whatever Yunyi intends to do, it will all be in vain, a waste of effort..."

------

"Well, it's good that you have an idea."

Li Qingyuan said, "However, we still need to be extra careful."

"I always felt that Yun Yi wouldn't have chosen Yunxi City without a reason. After all, the city already belongs to the Wang family, and his arrival here is like a lamb entering a tiger's den..."

"Are you concerned about me?"

Suddenly, Yue Qinghuan interrupted him, her eyes seemingly filled with amusement.

"Cough, uh..."

Li Qingyuan was analyzing Yun Yi's purpose in doing so when he suddenly heard Yue Qinghuan's words and was momentarily speechless.

Seeing Li Qingyuan's reaction, the 'joy' in Yue Qinghuan's eyes vanished instantly, and her heart sank. After a long while, she finally said:

"Alright, alright, I'm not that stupid, don't worry."

Seeing this, Li Qingyuan nodded with a smile and said:

"Alright, then Old Ox and I will be your personal bodyguards. We can deal with any emergencies in time."

Old Ox: "......"

You're always chasing girls when you have nothing to do, but you call me when you need something?!

I'm truly impressed!

Upon hearing this, Yue Qinghuan's eyes flashed with joy, and she agreed:

"Great, I feel much more at ease with you all here."

......

------

The Central Plains are vast and boundless. Tai'an City is located in the far east, while Yunxi City is far in the far north. The two places are extremely far apart.

The three of them traveled non-stop using the teleportation array.

From the first light of dawn to the fall of night, and from the deep of night to the reappearance of the first light of day, it took a full day and night, but the journey was not even halfway over.

According to Yue Qinghuan's estimate, it will take another one to two days to reach the destination.

Upon arriving at a bustling metropolis, all three were exhausted and decided to stay there for a while.

They found a small shop on the street, quickly ate their meal, and then found an inn where they fell into a deep sleep.

Several hours later, after they had fully recovered, the three of them embarked on their teleportation journey again, continuing their journey towards Yunxi City.

......

Two days later, as the sun rose, golden rays bathed the earth.

Li Qingyuan, Yue Qinghuan, and Lao Huangniu finally arrived in Yunxi City!

At that moment, Yue Qinghuan was not in a hurry to contact Yun Yi.

Out of caution, she immediately informed Wang Anran about her upcoming deal with Yunyi to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Coincidentally, Wang Anran was near Yunxi City. Upon hearing the news, she excitedly suggested meeting up with Yue Qinghuan for a proper get-together.

Yue Qinghuan was naturally overjoyed, after all, her friendship with Wang Anran was much deeper, and the two were like sisters.

It had been a long time since they last met, and Yue Qinghuan really missed her friend.

Moreover, as a direct descendant of the Wang family, Wang Anran might possess the ingredients for the antidote to the "Lingxi Qingshen Dan" (a traditional Chinese medicine formula)...

If we can reach an agreement through this opportunity, it would be a win-win situation!

With these thoughts in mind, Yue Qinghuan agreed without hesitation.

When Li Qingyuan learned of this, he felt that it was reasonable for him to meet with Wang Anran on Wang's territory, so he had no objection.

The three of them then entered a restaurant, where they enjoyed the delicious food and rested for a while, waiting for Wang Anran to arrive.

At this time of year, the happiest person is none other than the old ox.

Because he can feast to his heart's content again, and most importantly, he doesn't have to pay for it himself...

For him, the three greatest joys in life are: eating, fighting, and making money!

The joy of enjoying the food at this moment brought a satisfied smile to his face.

......

By noon, Wang Anran still hadn't appeared!

Logically speaking, regardless of how Wang Anran chose to come, she should have arrived by now.

The old ox had already eaten and drunk its fill, and was burping and grumbling that it wanted to rest;

Li Qingyuan remained calm, closing his eyes to rest, seemingly lost in thought.

Yue Qinghuan grew increasingly anxious, her brows furrowed, and she frequently looked down at the communication jade slip.

Finally, she couldn't help but send another message, asking when Wang Anran would arrive.

This time, the communication jade slip started flashing after only a short while.

After reading the message, Yue Qinghuan's expression changed drastically, and she blurted out:

"There's an ambush a hundred miles outside the city! Quickly, ask my fourth uncle for help! Hurry!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyuan suddenly opened her eyes, thinking to herself that something had indeed happened!

Wang Anran's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm, and she ranks eighteenth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking. Anyone who can intercept and kill her must have a cultivation level of at least the late stage of the ninth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm!

Just as she was pondering this, Yue Qinghuan suddenly stood up and said:

"Time waits for no one, let's go find the city lord!"

The current city lord of Yunxi City is Wang Anran's fourth uncle.

"It's too late. Wang Anran didn't even have time to send a message to her fourth uncle, which shows how intense the battle is and how urgent things are..."

"Qinghuan, let's split up. You go and fetch her fourth uncle, while Lao Niu and I will go directly outside the city..."

Li Qingyuan's words exploded in Yue Qinghuan's ears like a thunderclap.

------

"this......"

Upon hearing this, Yue Qinghuan frowned slightly. The person who was able to intercept and kill Wang Anran had gone with the old ox, and she felt that she probably wouldn't be able to help him.

After all, the difference in cultivation level is like an insurmountable chasm!

"Alright, stop dawdling! Even if we can't win, we can protect ourselves, don't worry."

Li Qingyuan knew of Yue Qinghuan's worries, but time was of the essence, so this was a helpless move.

Ultimately, Wang Anran's assassination was still somewhat connected to them.

Moreover, this matter could easily lead to misunderstandings, since it was Yue Qinghuan who informed Wang Anran that Wang Anran wanted to meet and get together...

If the Wang family mistakenly believes that the Treasure Pavilion was behind Wang Anran's ambush and murder, then they will be in big trouble!

The relationship between the two sides is also very likely to become very strained.

Under various factors...

Even if the Wang family has the medicinal herbs he needs, they probably won't treat them well.

Yue Qinghuan understood the urgency of the situation, so she said no more, nodded slightly, and turned to rush towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Qingyuan and the old ox exchanged a glance, and their auras surged simultaneously, transforming into two streaks of light that shot out of the city!
