Cai Naisi immediately left Changyang Prefecture and hurried back to his territory. The appearance of the tungsten alloy mine was a matter of great importance. It was an inestimable amount of wealth, so Jianchen did not dare to be careless. Without a Heaven Saint Master guarding it, Jianchen found it very difficult to relax. He was afraid that the news would leak out.
Jianchen walked around the center of the room with his hands behind his back with a stern expression. He constantly thought about the tungsten alloy mine. On his shoulder, the little white tiger that was inseparable from him was lying there quietly. Its originally bright eyes had become dull and lifeless, and it looked listless and listless.
"Looks like I need to move the Flame Mercenaries to the territory of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom as soon as possible," Jianchen thought to himself.
Jianchen remained in the room by himself for almost an hour. He only left when Bi Yuntian personally came to call him for dinner.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes. Jianchen, Changyang Ba, Bi Yuntian, and his three aunts all sat at the same table and chatted as they ate. Ling Long, Yu Fengyan, and Bi Yuntian had mentioned the Flame Mercenaries before. They had known about Jianchen's Flame Mercenaries a long time ago, but they were extremely confused about why Jianchen, the Imperial Protector of both the Kingdom of Gesun and the Qin Empire, would lower himself to create a mercenary group.
In response to Bi Yuntian's and his two aunts' questions, Jian Chen patiently explained the reason. He didn't hide anything, as there was no secret worth hiding.
"Xiang'er's actions are correct. Since captain Kendall died to save you, you should fulfill your promise and give him an explanation," Changyang Ba said.
"Xiang'er, you've been outside for the past few days. Do you have any news about your second sister?" Bi Yuntian suddenly asked.
Jianchen's eyes dimmed when he heard that. He gently sighed and shook his head, "Mother, I've been constantly looking for news about my second sister, but there's been no news at all."
Yu Fengyan's expression changed when she heard that. Sorrow filled her face, "That damned girl. Who knows where she's gone to hide. No matter what, she should've come back to tell us that she's safe. We don't even have any news about her right now. I wonder if Mingyue is … is she …" Towards the end, Yu Fengyan could not help but sob softly. Her daughter had left alone for so long without any news. As a mother, Yu Fengyan was both worried and afraid. She was afraid that something had really happened to her only daughter outside.
The people at the table all fell silent. Their faces were rather heavy. The people present were either Changyang Mingyue's parents or aunts. They had all watched Changyang Mingyue grow up. Now that Changyang Mingyue had encountered such a situation, they felt extremely worried. After all, Changyang Mingyue was not Jianchen.
"Aunty, don't take it too hard. My sister is lucky. She won't be in any danger. Look at me. Didn't I leave the Kingdom of Gesun alone a few years ago without any news? Aren't I still living well?" Jianchen comforted. However, his words were destined to have no effect at all. Yu Fengyan and the others did not believe that their daughter possessed the same ability as Jianchen.
Moreover, it was much more dangerous for a woman to wander alone than a man. There was no lack of lecherous people among the mercenaries who made a living on the Tian Yuan Continent.
"Sigh, our daughter has grown up. She's become rebellious, but it's all our fault. We were the ones who forced Mingyue's marriage, which was why she left home," Changyang Ba sighed as well. He felt extremely regretful.
"Father, aunty, don't worry. I will definitely send more people to search for my sister," Jian Chen firmly said. Changyang Mingyue had always cared for him when he was young. She was the only sibling who had left a good impression on him. Now that something like this had happened to her, Jianchen felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Whatever. Let's not talk about this for now. We've already discussed this matter countless times, but it's all useless." Changyang Ba let out a long sigh before looking at Jianchen. After a moment of thought, he said, "Xiang'er, there's something I hope you can agree to."
"I know everything about you and your aunty, Ling Long. Although your aunty is a little petty and has made things difficult for you more than once, she's not a bad person. Ever since what happened last time, your aunty and your brother seem to have completely changed. They haven't eaten with us in a very long time because they feel very guilty. As a result, I hope you can forgive your aunty." Changyang Ba spoke with a pleading tone. As the patriarch of the family, it was extremely rare for him to treat his own son like this. ,
Jianchen agreed to Changyang Ba's suggestion without much hesitation. Although he was also very dissatisfied with his aunty, they were still a family after all. Jianchen did not want to ruin a warm family that was hard to come by because of his own insistence.
Seeing that Jianchen was no longer looking into Bai Yushuang's past mistakes, Changyang Ba was extremely happy.
Afterwards, Jianchen took out the Hundred Herbs Wine that the Ape King had gifted him from his Space Ring and poured a cup for everyone at the table. After drinking the Hundred Herbs Wine, everyone's strength experienced a qualitative leap. Changyang Ba, who had only reached the First Cycle of Earth Saint Master three months ago, directly broke through to the peak of the Second Cycle. He would reach the Third Cycle very soon.
As for Bai Yushuang and Ling Long, they had both reached the High Tier of Saint Master. Even Bi Yuntian, who did not know any Saint Force, had benefited greatly. Her Radiant Saint Master cultivation had increased from the 3rd to the 4th Cycle, which was equivalent to several years of hard work.
Afterwards, Jianchen called Chang Bo in and had Chang Bo taste a cup as well. However, it was only a small cup of the Hundred Herbs Wine. To a Heaven Saint Master like Chang Bo, its effects were almost negligible. It could only strengthen the Saint Force within his body. He did not break through as smoothly as principal Kafir.
After the meal, Jianchen chatted with his parents for a while before going to visit his brother, Changyang Hu. Currently, Changyang Hu could only lie in bed all day. Having lost his arm, he even needed others to help him eat and change his clothes. He could not take care of himself at all, living a miserable life.
Seeing his brother's miserable state, Jianchen felt very pained inside. He was tempted to immediately advance to the 7th Radiant Saint Master and use a heaven-defying method to regrow his brother's arm.
The next morning, he went to Lore City to visit Ken San and his mother. With the help of the Changyang Prefecture, Ken San and his mother had opened a rather large inn on a bustling street in Lore City. Business was booming and they were filled to the brim with customers every day. With the protection of the Changyang Prefecture, their inn had become the safest inn in Lore City. No one dared to fight inside, and all the merchants and mercenaries who ate or stayed there were well-behaved.
After bidding farewell to Ken San and his mother, Jianchen left Lore City. After several hours of flight, he finally arrived at the desolate area where the Flame Mercenaries were stationed. He immediately gathered everyone together.
"Jianchen, why have you called for us in such a hurry?" Ming Dong could not help but ask out of curiosity as soon as everyone sat down in the tent.
Jianchen sternly sat at the head of the table and ordered, "Pass down my orders. Everyone is to immediately break camp and set off for the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom through the night."
Everyone was surprised. Princess You Yue asked in doubt, "Through the night? Jianchen, is there a need to be in such a hurry? "
Jianchen nodded sternly, "There is, and the sooner the better. Lead the group and hurry over. I need to take a step forward, so I won't be travelling with you."
"Jianchen, why have you suddenly become so anxious? Has something important happened there?" Ming Dong asked.
"I'll keep this a secret for now. I'll tell you slowly once you arrive. Alright, the meeting is adjourned. Go make arrangements immediately. I'll be leaving first." With that, Jianchen immediately left and hurried to the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
There was no time to waste.
Two days later, Jianchen finally arrived at the territory of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. He then recalled how he had divided the territories among the seven major powers before heading directly to the territory of the Bloodmoon Mercenary Group.
The Bloodmoon Mercenary Group had already become a major power that dominated a region. Jianchen casually asked around in the territory of the Bloodmoon Mercenary Group and found out where their headquarters were. He then hurried without stopping to rest.
The headquarters of the Bloodmoon Mercenary Group was a newly built castle. As Jianchen did not conceal his aura, Cai Naisi, who had just returned to the castle, discovered him as soon as he arrived above the castle. Cai Naisi immediately flew out of the castle and arrived before Jianchen. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Imperial Protector!"
"What's the current situation? The matter of the tungsten alloy vein hasn't been leaked, right?" Jianchen asked in a low voice.
"Reporting to the Imperial Protector, everything is under control. The news of the tungsten alloy vein has been tightly sealed. Apart from a few dozen trustworthy brothers, no one else knows about it. Even the people from the other six major powers are completely unaware," Cai Naisi said.
Jianchen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad. You've done well. You've done a great service this time. I won't treat you unfairly."
"To be able to serve the Qin Empire and the respected Imperial Protector is Cai Naisi's honor. Cai Naisi has no other requests," Cai Naisi said with a solemn expression.
Jianchen smiled and said, "Where is the tungsten alloy vein? Bring me there immediately."
