In Clan Qin:
"Yunteng, you're seriously wounded and need a long time to recover." Sullen, Qin Zongheng healed Li Yunteng.
Li Yunteng grinned, "It's fortunate that I keep my life today! Mr. Qin, I must have died without your help!"
Qin Zongheng shook head, "Please don't say so. As allies, we should go through thick and thin together."
Ashamed, Li Yunteng responded, "How lucky I am to have an ally like you!"
Qin Zongheng chuckled and turned to Li Yexue, who looked concerned, asking her tenderly, "Yexue, did Team Longxi torture you?"
"Its members treated Chuchu and me politely except restricting our freedom."
"Yexue, why did you stay with a spy from Jinxia? You would have died without Mr. Qin's help." Li Yunteng blamed her.
"Dad, Chuchu comes from Jinxia, but she is not bad! She's my best friend. Can you help save her?"
Li Yunteng glared at her, pouting, "That goes beyond my ability."
"Mr. Qin, can you?" She cast a look at Qin Zongheng.
Awkward, he could force Long Guanyue to release Li Yexue. However, Chuchu was the real spy from Jinxia, and a trump card for Team
Longxi. Long Guanyue would not release Chuchu though Qin Zongheng battled with him.
"Yexue, don't worry for Chuchu. Her arrest must have spread to Clan Chu. Her family will try their best to save her. "
"But…" Li Yexue intended to continue, but withdrew her words while noticing his embarrassment.
"Where is Qin Dong?" She had not seen Qin Dong for days and missed him so much.
Qin Zongheng beamed, "He has something to handle and needs to be absent for a few days. Yexue, can you do me a favor?"
"Mr. Qin, you're so polite. Just tell me."
Qin Zongheng frowned, "I hope you can promise me not to tell your arrest to Qin Dong temporarily."
"Why?" Li Yexue still counted on Qin Dong to save Chuchu.
Qin Zongheng revealed a wry smile, "Qin Dong loves you deeply. If he knows your capture, he must burst in rage. Team Longxi undertakes the responsibility of safeguarding Longyuan. He may destroy Longxi and cause a stir for you. You don't hope to see that, right?"
Li Yunteng tittered, "Mr. Qin, you speak so highly of Qin Dong! Can he extinguish Longxi?"
Qin Zongheng glimpsed at him and curled his lips, "As Qin Dong's future father-in-law, you know nothing about his capability! Now I tell you, Team Longxi will be ruined anytime as Qin Dong wishes."
Qin Zongheng's seriousness stunned Li Yunteng, who whispered, "Is he…so awesome?"
Qin Zongheng answered silently: "Do I need to unite with you not for Qin Dong?"
Realizing the gravity of the matter, Li Yexue nodded, "Mr. Qin, I remember your remarks."
"Fine. Long Guanyue released you for my sake. But he probably is unwilling to let that go. You stay in Clan Qin in case of any accident."
"I need to go to school." Li Yexue's eyebrows knitted.
Qin Zongheng hesitated, "I'll send someone to protect you."
Li Yunteng also worried that Long Guanyue would retaliate secretively and remained in Clan Qin recently.
Longyuan, Feitian and Jinxia, the three biggest empires, formed a situation of tripartite confrontation in the mortal realm. Except them, there were some small nations seeking chances to survive, attached to the three empires or owned by them as their colonies.
