Lil Thing and Little Shadow searched the ice for an entire night but couldn't find any trace of Yan 'er. Little Shadow almost went to the shores of the Frozen Sea to search for her on the Mysterious Continent.
However, he held himself back in the end. He knew that his father wouldn't give up looking for Yan 'er and didn't want to cause trouble for him at this time.
When he and Lil Thing returned, Rui 'er was already awake. His tears were still wet but he was much stronger than before.
Lil Thing transformed into a tall snow wolf and walked towards Rui 'er. It crouched in front of Rui' er and rubbed its head against Rui 'er's feet as if comforting him.
Rui 'er rubbed the wolf's head and immediately sat on its back. Gu Beiyue followed. Gu and Tang Li wanted to go as well, but they didn't fight with Gu Beiyue. They just waited quietly.
The snow wolf carried Gu Beiyue and Rui 'er across the blackened ice and headed straight for the center of the Frozen Sea. Last night, it had brought Little Shadow to that hole. Only Little Shadow knew that it had been wailing inside for a long time.
The first thing Gu Beiyue noticed when they entered the hole was that the ice below was white. The Frozen Sea was covered in ice and the poisoned area was only three feet below the surface. Although it was only three feet, it was enough to stop anyone on the Mysterious Continent.
"Grand Tutor, my father and mother are here." Rui 'er said in a choked voice.
Gu Beiyue looked back to see Rui 'er and the snow wolf hugging each other on a large piece of ice.
He strode over and took a closer look. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely make out Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye's faces and their tightly clasped hands.
His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly looked away.
He didn't make a sound for a long time, only looking up and widening his eyes.
He was quiet for a long time until Rui 'er called out timidly, "Grand Tutor." Only then did he turn back with a gentle and calm expression.
He knelt down and pulled Rui 'er up from the ice, saying gently, "Don't be like this. Your parents won't bear to see you catch a cold. Be good, they're still alive. You know that. "
Rui 'er nodded seriously. He had felt his parents' qi the moment he came down. They were really cultivating, he was sure.
At this moment, the Snow Wolf suddenly let out a low cry and crawled up.
Gu Beiyue and Rui 'er looked over, only to see the snow wolf vanish into thin air.
Both Gu Beiyue and Rui 'er gave a start, but Rui' er quickly exclaimed, "Mother! Mother must have taken Lil Thing! It must! Mother knows that we're here, she knows that the little thing is here! "
Rui 'er's, you're here, Mother, you know that we're here! You know that, right? You and Father will be fine, right? "
"Mother, can you please answer me?! Yes Yes! Rui ''s, I beg you! "
As soon as he spoke, the snow wolf appeared out of thin air. It had clearly been released from the poison storage space.
Rui 'er was pleasantly surprised as he pulled Gu Beiyue to tears and laughter. He was so excited that he was about to jump up. "Grand Tutor, my mother can hear us! She answered me! She really did answer me! "
The snow wolf rubbed against the ice as if trying to tell Gu Beiyue and Rui 'er that Mama Yunxi wasn't dead and could sense them.
Gu Beiyue knelt down and placed a hand on the ice, resting it on Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's interlocked fingers. "Your Majesty, Esteemed Empress, this subordinate has returned from the gates of hell. This subordinate will protect the Great Qin and assist the crown prince and princess. When you return from the ice, I'll … avenge. Blood. Enmity! "
Gu Beiyue's last three words were especially harsh, his gentle eyes flashing with a frightening viciousness.
He wasn't sure if Han Yunxi didn't have the strength to put the poisoned ice back into the poison storage space, or if she didn't want to. But he was clear that the poisoned Ice Sea was the best way to protect the Great Qin Empire and buy time for revenge.
No one from the Mysterious Continent could offend Cloud Realm Continent, while they could use Lil Thing to sneak in.
No matter whether the three clan heads spread the news of their invasion, the changes in the Ice Sea would definitely attract the attention of the Mysterious Continent. This sea of poison could help them block all of Xuan Kong's troubles.
Perhaps Han Yunxi could cultivate her tenth rank phoenix energy and break out of the ice herself.
Or perhaps they could only wait for Yan 'er.
As for the secrets of the ice crystals and whirlpools, they could only wait for Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye to break out.
No matter what, they were still alive. If they could protect Cloud Realm Continent's northern borders, he and Rui 'er would have nothing to worry about.
After Gu Beiyue and Rui 'er left, Gu, Tang Li, and the rest all told the snow wolf camel and the others to visit Han Yunxi and the rest in the ice cave. Once they were done, they all left with red eyes.
Some people's grief was written in their eyes, while others hid it in their hearts. Besides his silence in the ice cave, Gu Beiyue was as calm and rational as ever, decisive and resolute.
He made a prompt decision and had Lil Thing take Gu across the Ice Sea to the Mysterious Continent to find Yan 'er.
If Yan 'er wasn't in the Ice Sea or the southern shores, she might be on the northern shores. There had to be a reason why the whirlpool had shown the image of Jinyang City.
Gu hadn't spent the past few years in the Mysterious Continent for nothing. His business in medicinal ingredients had grown bigger and bigger. Not only was he familiar with the continent, but he also had many connections. He was the most suitable person to handle this matter.
"Immediately! Remember, find Su Xiaoyu as soon as possible. The Wolf Sect can't fall into anyone else's hands, "Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Han Xiang was dead, so Han Chen's barrier was most likely a dead one. The Wolf Sect no longer had a leader. As Han Chen's only disciple, Su Xiaoyu naturally had the right to compete for the position of sect master. Moreover, that girl's skills and personality made it possible for her to take over the Wolf Sect as well.
No matter what, they had to protect the Wolf Sect. It was their most basic guarantee of military strength in the Mysterious Continent.
After some hesitation, Gu walked to Gu Beiyue's side and murmured, "I'll find Ning Cheng for help. How about it? Let him help find someone and guard against the three great clans? "
Gu Beiyue had already guessed that Ning Cheng was on the Mysterious Continent.
When Ning Cheng had used the pseudonym "Ning Cheng" to warn Long Fei Ye about Le Zheng's plan to smuggle salt, it meant that Ning Cheng was most likely hiding in Wintercrow and working with Le Zheng. Later, Le Zheng had fled to the Mysterious Continent, and Jin Zi had taken over Wintercrow. Long Fei Ye had sent men to search the entire country but hadn't found Ning Cheng. At that time, the two of them had guessed that Ning Cheng had gone to the Mysterious Continent with Le Zheng.
Gu Beiyue was about to nod when Gu Qishao lowered his voice again. "Ning Cheng married the Shangguan Clan's daughter of the first wife and founded the Xuankong Trade Consortium. He's rich and imposing, and relies on the fact that the Shangguan Clan is a power in the south. It's easy to ask him to do things."
Gu Beiyue was shocked. "Really?"
"Really! If we can find Su Xiaoyu to take over the Wolf Sect and join forces with the Shangguan Clan, at least the south of the Mysterious Continent will be our territory! "Gu's voice was full of ruthlessness.
In his life, he'd never thought about fighting for anything other than his hatred for Medical City. Now, he wanted nothing more than to take over the entire Mysterious Continent to avenge Poison Girl, Long Fei Ye, and Rui 'er and Yan' er!
He'd been on the Mysterious Continent for so long that he'd seen Ning Cheng several times from afar. He'd just pretended not to know and didn't tell Long Fei Ye, nor did he disturb him.
"Ning Cheng …"
Gu Beiyue muttered to himself. After a while, he told Gu Qishao, "Help me pass on a message to him. Just say … I've been preparing wine for him and His Highness the entire time."
Only Gu Beiyue knew about the drinking contest between Long Fei Ye and Ning Cheng. Long Fei Ye had told Gu Beiyue after Jin Zi took over Wintercrow. Even Han Yunxi didn't know about this.
Gu knew that Ning Cheng loved wine, so he didn't think too much about it and nodded. "Alright, I'll definitely pass on the message!"
Little Shadow clenched his fists. Seeing that his seventh uncle was about to leave, he mustered his courage and said loudly, "Daddy, I want to go with seventh uncle to find Yan 'er. Can I?"
Before Gu Beiyue could say anything, Gu pulled Little Shadow over. "Of course!"
"Nanchen, this is your duty. The Shadow Clan's duty."
Gu Beiyue kept these words to himself and didn't tell Little Shadow. He nodded and said gently, "Listen to your seventh uncle. You must be mischievous."
Little Shadow was overjoyed and ran over to Rui 'er. "Your Highness, Shadow will do his best. You, take care! "
Rui 'er didn't say anything. He hugged Shadow tightly and let go immediately.
After Gu and Little Shadow left, Gu Beiyue took Rui 'er and everyone else to leave. Before they left, everyone looked towards the Frozen Sea at the same time, their hearts filled with pity.
Mu Ling 'er choked out, "With brother-in-law accompanying my sister, everyone can relax. They won't be lonely."
Tang Li sniffled, but still managed to laugh. "Let's go! There's no point in us staying here. It's not like you don't know my brother. He won't appreciate it even if we stay here until we die. He only wants my sister-in-law to accompany him. "
Gu Beiyue thought of their tightly interlocked fingers, his heart filled with emotions. He whispered to Rui 'er in his arms, "Let's go. Grand Tutor will accompany you."
After returning to the capital, the first thing Gu Beiyue did was to find the tiger tally in Han Yunxi's hands and take control of the military. At the same time, he pretended to follow Long Fei Ye's imperial edict and replaced the Minister of Revenue with someone he absolutely trusted.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi rushed to the Promise of Ten Years without informing anyone in the imperial court. Instead, they used the excuse of seclusion to practice martial arts as an excuse to leave the affairs of the imperial court to a few trusted ministers. Gu Beiyue continued to use this excuse until he made sufficient arrangements in the imperial court and had sufficient confidence to deal with the coup. Only then did he announce an imperial edict in the name of Long Fei Ye.
The general content of this imperial edict was that Long Fei Ye would take Han Yunxi to live in seclusion in the mountains and pass on the throne to Crown Prince Xuanyuan Rui. Grand Tutor Gu Beiyue would be appointed as Regent and assist the Crown Prince in governing the country until the Crown Prince turned sixteen!
When this imperial edict was announced, the entire Great Qin Empire was in an uproar. All the civil and military officials knelt in front of the Xuanlong Palace for several days and nights, begging to see Long Fei Ye. Gu Beiyue did not stop them and let them kneel. Of course, there were many who suspected that something had happened to Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi and that he had no choice but to pass on the throne to the Crown Prince. Some even suspected Gu Beiyue. Gu Beiyue didn't pay any attention to the rumors.
He controlled the Great Qin Empire's military and the Great Qin Empire's national treasury. He had long since made preparations to deal with a rebellion.
Arguing was a waste of time.
Those who believed him would naturally believe him. Those who did not believe him would not believe him no matter how much he explained. As for those who did not believe him, he did not waste his breath. Instead, he used enough confidence and capital to convince them.
All these years, Gu Beiyue's assistance to Long Fei Ye had not been in vain. All these years, Gu Beiyue's dedication to the Great Qin Empire had not been in vain.
In this change of the throne, there were many who opposed it, but there were also many who believed in it.
In just half a year, Gu Beiyue had firmly secured the position of Regent with a gentle attitude and decisive methods. It was because of his firm position that Rui 'er could sit on the throne.
Think about it, those who opposed it, those who said they wanted to see Long Fei Ye, did they really want to see Long Fei Ye? Or … were they just using the excuse of wanting to see Long Fei Ye to rebel?
