Not a threat? In reality, it was still a threat. It had been many years since anyone dared to speak to Huai Caoshi like this. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Federation soldier in the pool of blood at his feet. His lips curled up into a smile. This person could endure torture for many days without uttering a single word. He was as silent and stubborn as a hot rock. Now, he began to speak harshly. Was it because he was slapped in the face?
What an interesting guy.
Huai Caoshi took a step forward and raised his right foot to kick down. His military boot kicked Xu Le in the stomach, making him curl up in pain like a drunk river shrimp.
Huai Caoshi didn't have a special love or hate for this Federation officer in front of him. Since he was very young, he didn't like this boorish and obscene guy, but because of the needs of the royal family's rule, his father needed Kaedun to live. Now that Kaedun was dead, he was even happier. As for the person who killed Kaedun, he naturally didn't hate him too much.
But the other party was from the Federation, so he could only live in pain or die in humiliation.
The door of the room slid open silently. The Empire's experts and soldiers rushed in and quickly took Xu Le away from the scene. They cleaned up the messy room as quickly as possible.
Huai Caoshi sprayed his favorite light orange air freshener around. Then, he sat by the window in silence for a moment and connected to Planet Tianjing.
"Great Master, is there any news from Fan Manor?" he asked expressionlessly into the communication device.
The Empire's Royal Intelligence Agency officer on the other end of the communication device replied with a trembling voice, "We brought His Majesty's electronic seal there. Great Master Fan Manor finally opened three doors, but we really couldn't find the name list."
The officer paused and said respectfully, "Your Highness Su Meng, regarding the last name list, His Majesty has been ordering the Royal Intelligence Agency to try to recover it all these years, but we haven't been able to find any clues. The name list copied in Great Master Fan Manor is also incomplete. You …"
"I know." Huai Caoshi lowered her gaze and looked at the Royal Hibiscus Flower symbol on the communication device. She said coldly, "I won't blame you for not being able to find it after so many years. However, Her Majesty is also very concerned about this matter. Therefore, I hope that you can make some progress. Even if it's incomplete, it would be good if you can recover some key words."
The senior officers of the Royal Intelligence Agency nodded repeatedly and promised that they would continue to investigate and work hard.
After the call ended, Huai Caoshi sat in the room filled with the faint smell of orange and fell into silence again.
Leaving Xu Le alive for the time being was not only because of the empire's political needs, but also because the empire's military wanted to obtain more information from him. However, what he was more interested in was Xu Le himself.
The Eight Rice True Qi cultivated by the remnants of the Lees of Philadelphia was a great humiliation to the entire Empire, especially to the high and mighty Imperial Family. Therefore, even if Xu Le was going to be cruelly executed, the Imperial Family still wanted to destroy the true qi in his body while he was still alive. It could be considered as another form of recovery.
Previously, he had personally destroyed the true qi in Xu Le's body. At the same time, he had confirmed that this person was indeed one of the remnants of the Lees of Philadelphia and walked the path of the Xiantian Realm. However, the Royal Intelligence Agency and the military confirmed that this person was not Li Pifu's illegitimate son. Then … how did he manage to cultivate the Eight Rice True Qi of the Xiantian Realm?
Based on certain considerations, he had already asked for instructions from the Tianjing Imperial Palace and was forced to alert Great Master Fan Manor, who had been in seclusion for decades. However, there was still no clear answer.
A small probability event was equivalent to an impossible event. Huai Caoshi frowned slightly and laughed self-deprecatingly. Then, her expression changed slightly. She covered her mouth with her fist and coughed a few times.
…
…
Intense, heart-wrenching coughs echoed in the room. Xu Le, who was lying in the corner, had a pale face. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like soybeans. Previously, he had already noticed that the spaceship had changed its course and was flying towards a blue and yellow planet in the distance. However, at this moment, most of his mind and will were controlled by the coughs. It was difficult for him to divert his attention to think about his next plan and action.
Coughs were usually related to colds and unhealthy eating habits. It was not a big deal. However, for the current Xu Le, if he did not solve this coughing problem, his future would be bleak. His originally hopeless escape route would be completely cut off.
After the young Empire officer destroyed the power in his body that he had been accumulating for a long time, and after his ability to pretend to be unconscious was exposed, he was once again locked up in a solitary cell. At first, he did not despair. On the contrary, he did not hesitate to start cultivating again with his strong will.
However, when the mysterious burning power in his body moved along the familiar channels to his chest and abdomen, it would be blocked by some invisible thing, making it difficult to move forward!
If he forcibly moved the burning lines and tried to turn them into countless sharp blades to break through the invisible barrier, the net-like channels in his chest and abdomen would shrink at the same time. It was like a thin film pipe that tightly bound the blade. It was extremely painful to be cut. It could even be said that he was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
At this time, his own burning power became as terrifying as the power that the young Empire officer spat out from his fingertips.
Now, there were two paths in front of him.
If he could not break through the barrier that the Empire officer had magically set up, the power that had accompanied him for many years and saved him countless times during life and death situations would become a dead pool behind his waist. It would no longer be able to play any role, and he would become an ordinary person.
No one could endure the pain of the blade cutting through the sensitive passageways. Even if Xu Le suddenly gritted his teeth and completed this action before he fainted from the pain, he was also clear that after those passageways were cut, he would probably end up in a very miserable state, worse than even an ordinary person.
As an ordinary person, it was not difficult for Xu Le to accept this fact. He had a good enough psychological foundation. However, now he was imprisoned in the distant Empire, facing death and a future more terrible than death at all times …
He could not just be an ordinary person.

The Red Rose Royal Spaceship was quietly parked at the edge of the transit base outside the atmosphere of Liban Star. The giant spaceship was close to twenty kilometers long, making the three-dimensional six-directional space base next to it look extremely small. In the next few days of docking and refurbishment, the space base would continuously send the materials on Liban Star to the Red Rose. It looked like this giant Royal Spaceship was like a big insect that greedily sucked the blood of herbivores.
The fleet of Liban Star took off one after another, lining up in the vast universe outside the atmosphere, escorting the three light battleships that flew out from the Red Rose Royal Spaceship and flew down.
