Ren Baqian sat in the courtyard and stared blankly into space.

The sound of wood being sawed could be heard in the vicinity.

Zhan Caixian was holding his erhu and playing it with exhilaration. Her face was blooming with elation.

Lin Qiaole was sleeping at the top of the wall.

Yes, at the top of the wall.

Boom!

Every time there was such a noise, it meant that Lin Qiaole had fallen off the wall. After that, she would climb back up to resume sleeping in her groggy state once more.

According to her own words, the room was too quiet and that sawing noise was disturbing her sleep, so she simply ran outside to sleep. Even though it was noisier, the clamor made by people wasn't that prominent. Instead, she could actually fall asleep over here.

At present, Ren Baqian was in a city called Ming City. It was located right in the middle of Tianjing Basin.

He came to this city with the people from the hidden village. Before they arrived, the sects in the vicinity had already gathered over here. Among them, there were dozens of Earth Wheel experts and one Spirit Wheel expert.

This was just from the sects in the vicinity.

After the arrival of Ren Baqian and the others, there were also people continuously arriving in the city.

When he thought about what he heard, that all of the experts in Tianjing Basin were rushing here, Ren Baqian couldn't help but worry.

Currently, the empress was the boss.

[Boss: the final boss players would have to defeat in League of Legends] (TLC. Not sure if this is referring to Baron Nashor? I don't think there is a traditional final boss in LoL like in a normal RPG. Also, from the next few lines, it doesn't even sound like he was playing LoL, but rather something like World of Warcraft?)

From the current situation, it was equivalent to all the guilds and scattered groups in the entire server joining forces to defeat the boss.

Back then, when he still played computer games, he had participated in such an operation before. It had felt rather invigorating, particularly with the background music, and his adrenaline had soared.

Looking at everyone's high morale and then recalling that the boss in this world was his wife that he had yet to marry, Ren Baqian silently cursed nonstop.

If he had a more reliable person with him, Ren Baqian would have sent a letter to Gu City long ao. Lin Qiaole, however… Ren Baqian was afraid that she would fall asleep in the middle of the trip.

In addition to that ear-piercing noise of wood sawing, the weather was very hot. As a result, Ren Baqian was a little frustrated. He stood up, walked around the courtyard, and threw a piece of White Rabbit Creamy Candy at Lin Qiaole. Then, he said something to Zhan Caixian and left the courtyard.

After he walked outside, he turned his head to take a look. As expected, Lin Qiaole was following behind him quietly.


"Tell me, who will win?" Ren Baqian couldn't resist asking. He had already asked this question many times.

Lin Qiaole's response was always the same. "Don't you already have an answer?"

"But you are an expert. Your foresight will be better than mine."

"If it's me, I can confront three Spirit Wheel experts at most. If there are more, I will have to run, but I will take you along with me when I flee, so don't worry." At least, Lin Qiaole still remembered that Ren Baqian was her master.

However, this wasn't what Ren Baqian was concerned about…

Ren Baqian kept silent and shot his gaze at the four similar looking elders that were walking toward him. The only difference between the four of them was the position of the mole near their mouths.

The four elders noticed his gaze, revealed warm smiles, and looked at Lin Qiaole before brushing past them.

Ren Baqian turned back to look at them. The four of them were heading toward the warlord's residence, which was also the headquarters of all the experts.

He had not met them previously, and they ought to be the experts who had just arrived.

With the passing of each day, the number of experts in the city increased.

The streets were very lively, and from time to time, he could see practitioners carrying their weapons with them. In addition, these weapons were all made of metal.

"The brother below, would you care to come up for a drink?" Ren Baqian heard people shouting from above his head. He saw a window on the second floor of the shop next to him. A man was smiling as he lay on the window and looked over in Ren Baqian's direction.

Ren Baqian looked left and right. He then heard that man shouting again, "Brother from the Yun Nation, would you care to come up for a drink?"

Only then did Ren Baqian confirm that the man was calling out to him. He pondered for a while before walking into the building and going up to the second story.

This shop was a restaurant. At this time, there weren't many people.

On the second floor, a young man in his twenties was standing by the window. He was very good looking and whenever he smiled, it felt very sincere. This was the young man who called out to Ren Baqian. Seeing both Lin Qiaole and Ren Baqian, the young man cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, brother. Greetings… senior."

"Do you know me?" Ren Baqian asked.

"Mister Ye Yunxian! Or Principal Ren… Care to have a few words with me?" This sentence caused Ren Baqian's mind to blank out for a moment. Uncontrollable murderous intent emerged from the bottom of his heart. Ren Baqian then coldly ordered, "Kill him!"

He absolutely didn't think that the other party was bluffing. This was because an ordinary person simply wouldn't know that the so-called Yun Nation envoy was the husband of Dayao's empress. Not to mention that the other party immediately called him Principal Ren. It was obvious that the other party knew a lot about him.

Following Ren Baqian's command, Lin Qiaole turned into a gust of wind and pounced onto the young man by the window.

"Hang on! I'm not your enemy!" The young man swayed. Soon after, he turned over and leaped out of the window. However, in less than three seconds, he came crashing into another window with his face filled with scratches.

Without saying anything further, Ren Baqian took out his gun, raised his hand, aimed it at the young man, and fired three consecutive shots.

"I'm not your enemy! Let's cooperate." The young man promptly shouted as he turned, rolled over, and avoided Ren Baqian's bullets.

"Stop!" Ren Baqian hesitated for a while and finally spoke out. He wanted to hear what the other party had to say first.

Seeing that Lin Qiaole returned to Ren Baqian's side, the young man could finally take a breather.

At present, the young man wasn't as calm as he had been before. He had wood shavings on his body, his hair was scattered, and his face was filled with scratches. His head had also nearly been smashed by Lin Qiaole.

The young man inhaled a few deep breaths and threw a tael of silver as compensation at the shop owner who came running up. He then smiled bitterly, "It's really dangerous to deal with Principal Ren."

"Your skills are pretty good!" Ren Baqian praised him without any sincerity. However, this person was really quite skilled.

The strength difference between a Spirit Wheel expert and an Earth Wheel expert was just like the gap between Heaven and Earth. For example, when Ren Baqian had been ambushed in Lan City, the instant the enemy party used his Heaven-grade weapon on his lead bodyguard, the bodyguard was immediately killed.

Even though that had been a sudden attack and the other party actually used his Heaven-grade weapon, Lin Qiaole was more skillful than the assassin from back then. Even a Spirit Wheel expert like Qingyun Sword wasn't her match. The fact that this young man could actually survive after experiencing two moves from her was already considered an amazing feat.

In addition, the other party was less than 30 years old and was presumably one of the experts of the younger generation. Apart from the empress and Li Yuanzhu, he should be considered a relatively top-notch expert.

The young man sat down at the table next to him. Subsequently, Ren Baqian also followed suit.

After the other party pulled out a bottle and applied some powder to his face, the wounds on his face began to heal quickly. It was just that the newly regenerated skin was still tender and traces of the scratches could still be seen.

At present, Ren Baqian finally calmed down and asked faintly, "Who are you?"

"You should have heard that someone from Great Xia is here as well…" The young man smiled. At this time, he didn't seem to be affected by the fact that he had almost been killed. It would be difficult to calm down after hearing that someone who had almost lost his or her life at your command wanted to cooperate with you.

Just from this person's temperament, it was clear that he was definitely not anyone ordinary.

"It's you!" Ren Baqian was astonished. He didn't expect the other party to be someone sent by Great Xia. Furthermore, he knew Ren Baqian's identity, yet he said that he wanted to cooperate. Ren Baqian didn't know what was he trying to imply.

"Principal Ren can address me as Su Qing."

"How did you recognize me?" Ren Baqian asked. This was what he wanted to find out the most at the moment.

"I have met the Seventh Prince before, and by coincidence, I know that Principal Ren looks exactly like him…" The young man smiled.

Ren Baqian suddenly saw the light. As it turned out, this was the crux of the problem.

"I never expected that Principal Ren would change his identity and sneak into the rebel headquarters as the Yun Nation's envoy. I assume that the appearance of Dayao's empress isn't coincidental either. Such a huge trap, wanting to capture all of the experts in Tianjing Basin in one go. Impressive!" the young man complimented him endlessly, as if he really admired how Ren Baqian handled things.

Ren Baqian was speechless.
