Chapter 1235: Splendidly Done!

Wu Gang brought a few dozens of Fierce Warriors and brought the Buddha Emperor and company away. Jiang Yi did not have any ideas and could only watch as they were brought away; they disappeared among the castles, who knew landing up where.

Now that Wu Que’er was not around, Jiang Yi did not have any right to speak. At this moment, if he dared to utter a single syllable; he could be cut into pieces. He could only lower his head and didn’t dare to reveal any abnormal expressions.

“Long Ruo, settle these men down.” Wu Gang gestured towards Long Ruo as he brought his men into his castle. Long Ruo could only send a few thousand men from the tribe into the military camps for them to rest for a couple of days first.

After busying himself to settle everyone down, Long Ruo brought Jiang Yi and the rest of the bodyguards into a huge castle; it was where Wu Que’er stayed in. However, Wu Que’er was not inside; she was probably at Wu Xin’er’s place. Jiang Yi waited for a while and started to grow anxious as he asked Long Ruo in a low voice, “Do I have to look for my Lady to protect her?”

“It is very safe within the city. Technically, we can only wait here for her Ladyship to return.” Long Ruo was a little conflicted. He thought about it and then said, “However, if I made you deputy captain, both of us could go and receive her Ladyship and bring her back.”

“Alright, let’s do that.”

Jiang Yi could not wait even a moment more. He desperately needed for Wu Que’er to immediately find a way for the Buddha Emperor and company to be locked up with the Buddha Thearch. That way, the Buddha Thearch could finally know about everything that had happened and could react appropriately. Even if the two groups could not be locked together—at the very least, Jiang Yi had to have a way to send the antidote to the Buddha Thearch and company.

The longer things dragged on, the more dangerous it would be. The Saint Priest was too terrifying. Jiang Yi had to make use of every second he had; he needed to contact Wu Que’er right now. Without Wu Que’er, Jiang Yi could do nothing.

The two walked rapidly and encountered many patrols along the way. However, as Long Ruo was the captain of Wu Que’er’s bodyguards, many people knew him; and no one dared to question or stop him on the way. Wu Que’er’s status in the Saint Emperor City was one of the highest.

They turned this way and that way; there were too many castles here, several hundreds in total. Jiang Yi was completely lost. Long Ruo, however, was rather familiar with the city; and after a while more, he suddenly stopped abruptly. He looked at a huge castle in front of him as he said softly, “Chui Kuang, this is where the outsiders are being held.”

“Oh, oh!”

Jiang Yi replied expressionlessly. He casually swept a glance and remembered all the landmarks in the vicinity. Since Long Ruo specially mentioned it, this place was definitely where the Buddha Thearch and company were being held. Jiang Yi looked into the distance and realized that there were a few dozen guards on the castle walls; one of them was actually a Chieftain.

“Let’s go!”

Since Wu Que’er was not here, Long Ruo did not dare to stop, brought Jiang Yi, and continued walking. After another five minutes, they reached a beautiful white palace. There were two hundred-odd guards outside. After seeing Long Ruo, one tall and huge guy greeted from the distance, “Long Ruo, splendidly done, taking down so many outsiders!”

This man was obviously the captain of Wu Xin’er’s guards. He took a look at Jiang Yi, slightly bewildered as he asked, “Who is he? Why have I not seen him before? Why is he so young?”

“Oh, this is Chui Kuang!”

Long Ruo was very tight with this person as he casually introduced Jiang Yi as Chui Kuang, saying, “He is a prodigy from the Undying Tribe. This person saved her Ladyship’s life and had been promoted to deputy captain. Chui Kuang, this is Long Ze. He is the captain of Lady Xin’s bodyguards and also my clan senior.”

“Oh?”

Long Ze looked at Jiang Yi, slightly surprised. He then heavily patted Jiang Yi’s shoulder as he nodded and said, “Not bad, you are young and talented; your future is limitless. Do your job diligently.”

“My thanks to Lord Long Ze.” Jiang Yi hurriedly bowed fearfully.

Shh-shh-shh!

As the casual conversation continued, footsteps could be heard coming from the castle. Wu Xin’er and Wu Que’er came out with their arms locked around each other. Wu Xin’er doted on her sister very much and so had personally sent her to the door. Wu Xin’er then said, “Little Sister, go back and rest for a while. Do not tire yourself out; I will report the situation to the Saint Priest.”

“En, Big Sister, please head back.”

Wu Que’er nodded as she walked towards Long Ruo and Jiang Yi. Wu Xin’er curiously looked at Jiang Yi and waited till Wu Que’er and the duo had walked far away before asking, “Who is this young person? Why have I not seen him before?”

Long Ze hurriedly replied respectfully, saying, “This is a prodigy from the Undying Tribe. It is said that he had saved Lady Que’s life and had just been promoted to deputy captain.”

“Oh?”

Wu Xin’er looked again in the direction that Jiang Yi and company had left in as she turned her full buttocks and entered her castle.

…

“Did your sixth sister suspect anything? What had she asked?”

After the trio had returned to Wu Que’er’s castle, Jiang Yi asked hurriedly. Wu Que’er thought about it and answered, “She should not have suspected anything. She asked about the situation in the Undying Tribe. En, she also asked where you and your friends had gone. I said you guys escaped, and the Undying Tribe is now looking everywhere for you guys. Sixth Sister said that she would go to report this matter to the Saint Priest and send men to investigate.”

“Long Ruo, stand guard outside; no one is to be allowed in!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and Long Ruo went outside as ordered. Jiang Yi continued, “The Buddha Emperor and company were taken away by your brother. Your brother had also said that they would not be locked together with the Buddha Thearch and company; do you have any way of putting them together?”

“This…”

Wu Que’er hesitated for a while, shook her head and said, “Third Brother and Sixth Sister are both more influential than me; we have always minded our own business and never intervened into the other two’s plans. Furthermore, Third Brother must have gotten the Saint Priest’s blessings this time. If I go and forcibly lock them up together with the Buddha Thearch and company, I would definitely be exposed.”

“That’s true!”

Jiang Yi was conflicted as he thought for a while and then said, “Shall we go and find the Buddha Thearch and others first and give them the antidote? At least if something were to happen, they could help us in battle?”

“We can’t…”

Wu Que’er still shook her head and said very firmly, “I have just returned. If I immediately go look for the Buddha Thearch, it will definitely raise suspicion. To not do so, I should rest for three days before going to meet the Saint Priest and then go find them. The men watching over the Buddha Thearch and company are all the Saint Priest’s. If we act rashly, we will be killed.”

“Three days…”

Jiang Yi’s heart sank. Who knew what would happen in these three days? However, Wu Que’er’s words made sense: if they acted rashly, they would be exposed. Jiang Yi thought of how terrifying the Saint Priest was and could only sit in silence, trying to see if there was another way.

The two sat for two hours; they did not manage to think of anything better. They could only wait for three days before taking action. Jiang Yi opened his eyes and sighed deeply as he looked at Wu Que’er and said, “If the Saint Priest summons you, would he be able to realize that your soul spirit had been tampered with?”

“Not sure!”

Wu Que’er answered uncertainly, “The Saint Priest is too mysterious; even I have not seen his face before. He hides behind a screen every time; only the heavens would know if he could see into my soul spirit.”

“In that case, let’s try our luck after three days.”

Jiang Yi got ready to stand up, feeling helpless. If he and Wu Que’er acted rashly now, they would die. If they acted three days later, perhaps there might still be a chance of success. As long as the Saint Priest did not manage to detect that Wu Que’er’s soul spirit had been tampered with, he would still have a chance.

Creak!

At this time, the doors to the castle were suddenly pushed open. Jiang Yi and Wu Que’er were both startled. Long Ruo was guarding outside; only someone powerful could enter unseen and unheard. Furthermore, Wu Que’er was standing while Jiang Yi was still sitting down.

At that moment…!

Jiang Yi’s brain turned furiously. He suddenly had an idea as he took Wu Que’er in his arms and messed up her dress. He buried his head in her chest and pretended as if the two were making out.

“Hoho!”

Soft laughter rang out as Wu Xin’er slowly entered. She looked at the duo happily as she said, “Little Sister, you have indeed kept a martial pet; what a rare sight.”
