Chapter 203
Sun Ran Ran explained their circumstances. If it was not for the fact that they had arranged for these few days properly, fighting off the Domineering Army’s attack to the best of their ability, they would have all been dead by now.
“Darling Chun, I feel that we have a Domineering Army spy within our ranks. He shouldn’t be a low ranked one either.” Sun Ran Ran concluded.
“Spy?!”
Sun Ran Ran nodded, saying, “Not many people know of the fact that we killed Qin Wu. They even know that your Father wanted to complete the mission himself. Those who knew where the mission would be executed were even less, however, those from the Domineering Army actually knew about it.”
“The last time I saw Qin Ming came asking for people, I had this kind of feeling.” Bai Yuan Chun said in agreement. “However, because the time was right then, I did not have time to weed that person out.”
“Then You Yue must have guessed it as well. It was no wonder that he wanted to keep secret about the fact that he could cure Father.”
“That child is a bright child. He managed to guess it just few a few sentences.” Sun Ran Ran said.
“Father, Mother, what should we do next?” Bai Yun Qi asked.
“Right now, many of those teams who had gone out ot do mission have been killed by Domineering Army’s men. They have yet to act directly against us right now, but I think they slowly plan to attack our roots.” Sun Ran Ran said, “Darling Chun, how about those two Spirit Paragons?”
“One of them was second rank, while another was third ranked.” Bai Yuan Chun said, “Right now, I have increased rank to third rank and am still a bit of a ways off from them. It looked like that Third Ranked Spirit Paragon did not not advance in rank only recently.”
“What’s there to fear!” Bai Yun Qi said, “Since the opposing party has two Spirit Paragons, we just have to get rid of one. Father was almost killed, so there’s no way that we will let it go.”
“Want to kill one? That’s easy to say!” Sun Ran Ran furrowed her eyebrows.
“Mother, have you forgotten that we have someone even more powerful?” Bai Yun Qi said.
“Even more powerful?” Sun Ran Ran was shocked before she suddenly realised something. She asked, “You’re talking about Halcyon?”
“That’s right, I’m talking about him.” Bai Yun Qi said, “He’s a sacred beast. Even if there’s another Spirit Paragon, there’s nothing to fear! I’m just afraid that he won’t be willing to help. After all, he only promised to protect Sima You Yue.”
“If it’s possible, we can ask Sima You Yue for help.” Sun Ran Ran thought about it for two seconds before saying, “I think that kid also doesn’t look like someone who is not easy to talk to.”
“Not only would you be able to ask it of him, you didn’t see the expressions of Zi Qi and the others just now. I think that they already hate the men from Domineering Army!”
Bai Yun Qi’s attitude towards them was used to be one of envy, jealousy and hatred. In this world, it was rare to find someone so caring about those who had no blood relation with them.
To borrow one of Fatty Qu’s sentences to express it, they were not relatives. They were more than relatives. There were many relatives who could not do what they did!
They discussed it for a long time and they decided not to let the fact that Bai Yuan Chun’s wounds had healed be known. They only say that his life was no longer in danger and would spend the rest of his life in bed.
They had just related this “devastating news” to a few seniors, but the Domineering Army’s side had quickly got wind of this information.
Qin Ming, Qin Wan, Xi Yue Xie and a few of them just happened to be in the guest hall talking about exterminating the Sandgulls. When they heard that Bai Yuan Chun had woken up and even turned into a waste, Qin Ming guffawed loudly, saying that they could begin their plan.
“Father, why are we not seeking victory right now, but waiting so many days?” Qin Wan didn’t understand.
“Weren’t we just taking care of the lower ranked Sandgulls? I want to see if that Bai Yuan Chun is still able to move some soldiers over to assist them. If someone comes to disrupt things at that time, it will be trouble.” Qin Ming said, “However, if we wait three days and nobody comes, it means that the Sandgulls have already been exhausted and we can act.”
“So this is the case. Then, Daddy, when can we act?” Qin Wan asked.
Qin Ming did not reply but only cast his glance towards Xi Yue Xi, enquiring, “Princess, when do you think is the best time?”
“Wait two more days.” Xi Yue Xi said, “Master Jiang has returned to the capital to settle some things. Wait for him to return before acting.”
Master Jiang was one of the two Spirit Paragons.
“Alright, then we shall wait two more days.” Qin Ming said, “We will give the men of Sandgull two extra days. In the meantime, we can also use these two days to accept those men who are willing to join us.”
Xi Yue Xi stood up, saying, “Then we will meet again in two days. Master Hu, let us return.”
After she finished speaking, she took the other Spirit Paragon with her and they left Sandgull.
Sima You Yue woke up in the afternoon of the second day. During this time, Bai Yun Qi and Sun Ran Ran came over to see her. Seeing that she was still unconscious, they were extremely worried. It was a good things that Bei Gong Tang and the others had already recovered and said that Sima You Yue was fine. Only then did the two of them relax.
When Sima You Yue woke up, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her. She moved her gaze and saw Halcyon sitting at her bedside, staring at her intently.
“Halcyon?” Sima You Yue’s voice was a little raspy.
“Why?” Halcyon asked.
“What do you mean why?” Sima You Yue felt that her head was quite painful as she stretched forth a hand to support her forehead. She had no idea what Halcyon was asking her.
Halcyon did not speak again and merely stood up and left.
Sima You Yue blinked her eyes in confusion, talking to herself, “What’s up with this guy?”
Halcyon went out and, very quickly, they pushed the door open and entered.
“How are you?” Bei Gong Tang sat down at her bedside and asked when she saw that Sima You Yue’s expression was not too great.
“Nothing too serious.” Sima You Yue sat up, saying, “How are you and Ouyang Fei?”
“Luckily, we had the Spirit Fluid that you gave us before.” Bei Gong Tang said, “We each took one and have already recovered completely.”
“That’s good then. I have to thank you guys a lot this time.” Sima You Yue said.
If it were not for the cooperation of these two, she would not have been able to treat Bai Yuan Chun.
“What’s there to thank. Doesn’t this involve us as well. We all have a part to play in killing Qin Wu.” Bei Gong Tang glared at Sima You Yue, “However, what do you plan to do about this?”
“About Domineering Army?” Sima You Yue asked.
Bei Gong Tang nodded.
Sima You Yue gave a cold laugh, “If they don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If they touch me, then I won’t hold back!”
“Then I’ll call the few of them over so we can discuss.”
Bei Gong Tang left when she finished speaking and the few of them quickly entered.
“You Yue, how are you?” Wei Zi Qi asked with concern.
“No problem.” Sima You Yue replied with a smile.
“This Domineering Army is too much. They actually used us as an excuse!” Fatty Qu spat, “This time, we definitely have to make them regret it!”
“That’s right. They want to swallow the Sandgulls? We’ll let them choke to death!” Wei Zi Qi’s eyes was suffused with anger, replacing his previous gentleness and poise.
“Alright. Then let us discuss what to do.” Sima You Yue nodded.
Half an hour later, Sun Ran Ran and Bai Yun Qi heard their men report that Sima You Yue and the others had come over.
“You Yue’s awake? Quickly let them in.” Bai Yun Qi ordered.
“Yes.”
Sima You Yue and the others entered. Seeing Sun Ran Ran, Bai Yun Qi and Li Kui, she was a bit shocked at how there were so few people.
Bai Yun Qi came in front of Sima You Yue, held her by her shoulders and looked at her, saying, “You Yue, you finally woke up. How’s your body?”
