Chapter 300

Hearing Lu Li's choice, the Night Queen just smiled, but this was something that could be guessed from the beginning, so she wasn't too surprised.

Or rather, such a choice was what fit Lu Li's image in her eyes.

Moreover, Lu Li was her student, the original Magic Card creator of this millennium, and even very likely a ten-thousand-year powerhouse of the future; just a mere Holy See couldn't block Lu Li's path forward, and the Night Queen had absolute confidence in this.

Not only because of the talent and potential Lu Li displayed, but also because even she couldn't see through Lu Li's growth limit, nor could she guess to what extent the other party could grow.

This also made her look forward more and more to what Lu Li would be like after he grew up.

"Haha, worthy of being Nishang girl's student," feeling the confidence in Lu Li's tone, Yan Qian seemed to recall the past and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "But you are also right, it's just a trip to the Holy See, not enough to make us so fearful and hesitant."

Thinking back, when his grandson lured his granddaughter-in-law back to the Ancient Kingdom from the Holy See, he hadn't feared the other party; this time, there was nothing to worry about either! Not to mention, he was accompanying them on this trip!

The growth of a powerhouse is always accompanied by different dangers. A sapling carefully cultivated in a greenhouse cannot grow into a towering tree if it doesn't encounter setbacks.

Besides, even if the Holy See really had any ideas, Yan Qian wouldn't mind using his own old life to create an opportunity for the others to leave!

He had been a Domain Lord of the Undying Realm for who knows how many years; whether it was the Yan family or the Southern Region, everything was now on the right track, and he didn't have too many regrets.

After all, he was already old; he couldn't let the younger generation go before him!

Using his own life to exchange for a younger Undying, or even a Supreme, for the future of the Ancient Kingdom, Yan Qian felt this deal was actually quite worth it.

Moreover, based on Yan Qian's knowledge of the Night Queen, the other party obviously wouldn't let Lu Li follow them to the Holy See without making any preparations.

Obviously, besides telling them Lu Li's identity, the Night Queen had also made many other preparations, just that there was no need to say it out loud.

Or rather, there was no need to say it here.

Appropriately leaving a trace of pressure on Lu Li and Yan Yuexin might instead better stimulate their potential.

565. Cutting weeds requires removing the roots.

"Since this is your decision, then I won't say anything more," ultimately, Yan Qian didn't dwell too much on this point, but respected Lu Li's choice.

After all, they were the ones who invited Lu Li to the Holy See, and now they were the ones proposing to change people and have the other party return the way they came; although this was because plans couldn't keep up with changes, it still somewhat carried the suspicion of causing trouble.

Besides, the person involved, Lu Li, had already made a choice; if they continued to dwell on this matter, it would look like he was afraid of the Holy See.

Moreover, for Lu Li, this was actually a test.

Whether it was Yan Qian, the Night Queen Yue Nishang, or those two old guys from the Western and Southern Regions, they were able to stand out from hundreds of millions of people, eventually promote to the Undying Realm, and become Domain Lords dominating one side of the Ancient Kingdom in the current era; they never relied on lip service.

Talent and potential were one aspect, but more importantly, they killed their way out by constantly defeating the enemies blocking their path step by step!

Not only these Domain Lords, even Lan Xiatong, this Immortal, was the same; this was something every top Magic Card Master had to experience.

The teaching method of Magic Card Masters never consisted only of theoretical guidance; practice was actually the bulk of it.

"I will also accompany you to the Holy See this time, so you actually don't need to worry too much about the Holy See pulling any little tricks." Yan Qian patted Lu Li's shoulder.

This point had been decided from the beginning; even if Lu Li wasn't an original Magic Card creator, Yan Yuexin was his great-granddaughter, and also the successor to the Southern Region Domain Lord he favored.

Naturally, Yan Qian also had to ensure the safety of Yan Yuexin on her growth path.

"Since that's the case, then I'll leave Lu Li to you for the upcoming period of heading to the Holy See, Old Yan," the matter was finally settled, and hearing that Yan Qian would lead the team, the Night Queen nodded in satisfaction.

Regarding Yan Qian's character, the Night Queen was relatively at ease; the other party truly didn't have any dark spots.

Thinking of this, the Night Queen couldn't help but glance at Lu Li.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't pull herself away right now, perhaps she would have followed along too.

Although Yan Qian was leading the team, and there was Daji as a hidden trump card, it was still not as reassuring as her following along.

It's a pity that although half a year had passed, the matters that had piled up during her previous seclusion hadn't been fully processed.

The matters that hadn't been processed even until she finished creating the new Magic Card were basically quite tricky and troublesome problems; even for her to handle, it would take a lot of time.

Not to mention, Wen Xiuyuan had already grasped some information about the Long Ni infiltrating the Eastern Region, and next she still had to make a trip to the Northern and Western Regions; this meant she had plenty to keep her busy.

Therefore, even if she wanted to go to the Holy See together, there was no way.

Thinking of the actions of those Long Ni back then, a trace of killing intent flashed in the Night Queen's heart.

One must know that at that time, Lu Li was already her student; daring to set their sights on her student was simply jumping in her face.

Moreover, they even made a move during the entrance trial of the Heavenly Mansion, which further showed that these Long Ni likely hadn't put her in their eyes from the beginning.

One must know that although the Heavenly Mansion was the top academy in the Eastern Region, it ultimately still fell under her jurisdiction.

The Long Ni choosing to make a move during this time period truly didn't put her in their eyes.

However, this wasn't hard to understand; after all, during the later stages of the Long Ni rebellion, because of Ziyun, the Night Queen hadn't stained her hands with little of the Long Ni's blood.

If it weren't for the fact that she was in seclusion at that time, I'm afraid the grass on the graves of these Long Ni who dared to slap her face would already be several feet high.

And this time, she accompanied Lu Li to the Southern Region, besides the Holy See trip, there was also the matter of discussing plans against the Long Ni with Yan Qian.

After all, after the Long Ni rebellion ended, in the versions that circulated at the beginning, the final destination of the Long Ni was the Southern Region of the Ancient Kingdom.

Although for so many years, the Southern Region hadn't found much information about the Long Ni, there is no smoke without fire.

But more importantly, the information obtained from the captured Bo Yunfei also verified this point from the side; the Long Ni back then had indeed escaped to the Southern Region and developed secretly.

0 Seeking flowers

This intelligence was personally interrogated by Daji, and its authenticity was basically ensured.

The ability of charm was inherently very suitable for these occasions, not to mention Daji was of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan and was also a twelve-star Magic Card spirit.

Almost the moment Bo Yunfei faced Daji, he instantly fell into the Nine-Tailed Fox's charm trap and had his mind taken over; not only were the strongholds in the Eastern Region exposed, but even the main base stronghold in the Southern Region was also exposed.

It was also from Bo Yunfei that she learned why those failed Long Ni back then had clearly fled to the Southern Region but hadn't been discovered; to a large extent, it was because those Long Ni back then had played little tricks and deceived everyone.

But now, since this hiding spot was exposed, she naturally didn't need to be polite to the other party.

However, right now, if she made a move against the Long Ni in the Eastern Region, it would inevitably affect the Long Ni's main base located in the Southern Region, causing the other party to heighten their vigilance.

In the future, if they wanted to make a move against the Long Ni, it would only be more difficult and troublesome than now.

To prevent alerting the enemy, they had to wipe out the Long Ni lurking in the Ancient Kingdom in one go, which required joining forces with the Domain Lords of the other three great regions.

Yan Qian should be considered the easiest to communicate with among the three, especially if the other party knew that the Long Ni's main base was indeed hidden in the Southern Region, it would be even more impossible for the other party to let it go and ignore it.

As for the two Domain Lords of the Northern and Western Regions, it might be slightly more troublesome. However, considering the harm the Long Ni posed to the Ancient Kingdom, I believe these two Domain Lords would also agree and join this operation.

In the intelligence provided by Bo Yunfei, although it only mentioned traces of Long Ni activities in the Eastern and Southern Regions, who could guarantee that these Long Ni hadn't contaminated the Northern and Western Regions?

Although Bo Yunfei was sent to execute the mission against the Dragon Girl sisters back then, and was even a leader among the young generation of Long Ni, he was ultimately not a high-level member of the Long Ni, so although he provided a lot of useful intelligence, he didn't obtain all of it.

Cutting weeds requires removing the roots; the Night Queen had an extremely profound understanding of this.

566. Either they are sacrificed, or the whole family is sacrificed.

"Rest assured, Nishang girl." Temporarily unaware that the Night Queen had other purposes for this trip, Yan Qian waved his hand: "Since I am the one taking the person, naturally I will also bring Lu Li back to you safe and sound."

He respected Lu Li's decision, but if the Holy See really wanted to make a move against Lu Li, Yan Qian wouldn't be polite to the other party either; it was impossible for him to stand by and watch.

Moreover, even if Lu Li didn't have the identity of an original Magic Card creator, Yan Qian would make the same choice, because the other party was a Magic Card Master of their Ancient Kingdom.

Otherwise, Yan Qian himself wouldn't be able to get past his own hurdle.

After reaching a consensus, the Night Queen and Yan Qian left first; they still had matters to discuss. Subsequently, Lan Xiatong also left first; there were also many matters in the Palace that needed her to handle.

Originally thinking that this time was just to pick up Lu Li, she didn't expect the Night Queen to personally arrive, and later Yan Qian also came; the time spent had already exceeded Lan Xiatong's initial expectations.

However, before leaving, Lan Xiatong also instructed Yan Yuexin to receive Lu Li well.

Because of the Night Queen's relationship, the identities of the two were basically equal, not as big as imagined, and it was easy for young people to communicate; Lan Xiatong felt there was no need for her to continue staying here as a third wheel.

The scene was left with only Lu Li and Yan Yuexin staring at each other.

"Let's go, I'll take you around the Palace." Ultimately, in the staring contest with Lu Li, Yan Yuexin was the first to lose, snorted lightly, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Lu Li just shrugged and followed behind the other party.

Anyway, he didn't have anything else to do for the time being, and he indeed wanted to see what the difference was between the Palace and the Heavenly Mansion, both being among the Four Great Academies.

"Eh? Isn't that Senior Sister Yan Yuexin? It's rare to see her on weekdays."

"It is indeed Senior Sister Yan, but I'm more curious about who that person following behind Senior Sister Yan is; do you have any impression?"

"Doesn't seem like it; at the very least, among those top perverts in the Palace, I have no impression of this person."

"You say, what is the relationship between this person and Senior Sister Yan? I suddenly feel excited."

"If they are a couple, then this is big gossip; you have to know that there are not a few people who have ideas about Senior Sister Yan, both openly and secretly."

"Fight, fight, I love watching blood flow like a river the most."

"You really are quite popular," walking on the main road of the Palace, hearing the whispers coming from all around, the corners of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Sure enough, no matter where it was, there was absolutely no shortage of people looking for fun, even in the Four Great Academies.

"That's natural, don't you look at who I am?" A smug little expression flashed on Yan Yuexin's face, but thinking that these people actually guessed that she and Lu Li were a couple, she couldn't help but touch her little white teeth.

The two of them were still quite a distance apart; just how blind must one be to think the two were a couple!

But soon, news about Lu Li and Yan Yuexin spread in the Palace; although many people just smiled after hearing it and ignored it, there were also many people who liked to join in the fun and came over to watch; after all, Yan Yuexin could be considered a celebrity in the Palace.

Of course, there were also Yan Yuexin's pursuers.
