A joint impeachment letter from several Newbie City Lords demands Ye Lingyue reach Shui City within a month.

Si Xiaochun originally thought Ye Lingyue would set off immediately, but unexpectedly, she lingered a few more days in Huangquan City.

During these five days, she successfully refined some new Transformation Pills, with over a hundred Three-legged Birdmen now capable of transforming into human form.

Ye Lingyue assigned these hundred people within Huangquan City, under the unified leadership of Yuan Xing and Si Xiaochun, forming the first Huangquan Guard of the city.

However, considering possible changes in Huangquan City during her journey to Shui City, she devised another strategy and sought out Bo Qing.

Regarding finding Bo Qing, Di Shen was rather unwilling.

In Di Shen’s eyes, Bo Qing was the strongest rival he had encountered since leaving Lonely Moon Sea, and it seemed Bo Qing "knew" Ye Lingyue before he did.

Di Shen was highly wary of this rival in love.

Nonetheless, unable to resist his own wife’s gentle persuasion, Di Shen eventually agreed, but insisted that he must be present whenever Ye Lingyue met with Bo Qing in the future.

As a result, early in the morning, members of the Heroic Society witnessed an extremely bizarre scene.

The new city lord was chatting and laughing with their own president, while behind the new lord stood a handsome man with a cold face, emitting an aura of icy chill.

That handsome man occasionally exchanged sharp glares with their president, and the tension between them was palpable. Anyone within ten steps of them would break into a cold sweat.

"Ling Yue, tell me what you mean. You want to bring some people from Qing Province Continent to Ancient Nine Provinces?"

Bo Qing was quite pleased that Ye Lingyue had become the new city lord of Huangquan City.

He even relocated the headquarters of the Heroic Society to Huangquan City to have more opportunities to be close to Ye Lingyue.

"That’s right, earlier Brother Yuan told me the Heroic Society has special channels to transport my former subordinates and friends to Ancient Nine Provinces."

After speaking, Ye Lingyue took out a list, with several names prominently written on it.

After arriving at Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, Ye Lingyue found that though living conditions there were harsher than in Qing Province Continent, there were more nature’s spiritual energy and demon beasts.

In such a place, one could achieve greater improvement.

She had been appointed urgently as the Huangquan City Lord, but her foundation was still in Qing Province Continent, particularly in the area near Mercenary City with Jin Wu Old Monster and Aguduo among others.

But most importantly, Ye Lingyue wanted to take Lan Cai’er over too.

She and Di Shen had roughly determined Yan Jiu’s whereabouts, and Ye Lingyue thought bringing Lan Cai’er along to search for Yan Jiu would be better.

She believed Lan Cai’er must miss Yan Jiu a lot, eager to see him soon.

As for her mother, Ye Huangyu, Ye Lingyue didn’t consider bringing her over, as both Ye Huangyu and her husband held high positions in Qing Province Continent, and now with a child, that place had become their roots and couldn’t be left easily.

The Heroic Society indeed has ways, but they are not legitimate routes – to put it bluntly, it’s smuggling, carrying certain risks as well. Moreover, not more than ten people can be transported each time. If it’s decided to truly come to Ancient Nine Provinces, you will need to provide detailed information about those people. I’ll find a way to contact them."

Bo Qing admitted frankly.

Aside from businesses like the Underground Bank and Arena Tournament, the Heroic Society also earns high smuggling fees through illicit means.

But since Ye Lingyue asked, Bo Qing only collected a symbolic amount of Spirit Stones.

"These are not a problem, Huangquan City also needs manpower. Here are some invitation letters that need to be delivered to those people, and I also have some things to send to Qing Province Continent’s Daxia Country Lan Cai’er and Daxia Ye Residence."

One has to admit, the Heroic Society does have some connections.

Ye Lingyue’s invitation letters were swiftly delivered to Daxia Country within two or three days.

Currently in Daxia, it was midsummer, and the blazing sun made even the lush leaves dry and shriveled.

In Lan Residence, under the shade of trees, cicadas chirped weakly.

In Lan Residence, at the drill ground, the scorching sunlight made the smooth bluestone slabs refract strands of heat light, just looking at it made one’s eyes feel stingingly sore.

Duke An Lan Yingwu was training a group of soldiers from Lan Residence.

"Punch swiftly, aim accurately, be ruthless, keep your back straight. With this kind of behavior, do you still want to compete against the Tiger Wolf Army next month?"

Ye Lingyue left Daxia almost three years ago.

With the decline of Hong Residence, the Marquis stopped attending court affairs, and now in Daxia, the military power is divided into three, most favored by the New Emperor being Duke An Lan Residence, General of Army Dao Ge, and Nie Fengxing couple.

But these three factions had more or less connections with each other privately, maintaining healthy competition. Plus, with Beiqing Feng Mansion’s commercial involvement, Daxia Country was prosperous, whereas the previously dominant Beiqing Country on the mainland was increasingly declining.

The soldiers hung their heads in frustration.

At that moment, a childish voice suddenly rang out beside everyone.

"Houhou — Ha Hey —"

Lan Yingwu raised his eyebrows and cast a tiger glance, spotting a little figure crouching in the corner of the drill ground.

The little one was about two or three years old, with a sturdy build, a pair of bright eyes, standing taller than usual children.

Despite the young age, the facial features were remarkably handsome like sculpted, destined to be a handsome man charming girls when grown up.

At present, the little fellow was crouching in a horse stance, his face reddened by sunshine.

His nostrils were sweaty, and he kept waving his small hands, seriously practicing a basic fist technique.

Seeing the look of the small fellow, the earlier aggrieved Lan Family Army couldn’t help but chuckle, and a doting smile appeared on Lan Yingwu’s face.

"My little ancestor, what are you doing here again?"

Lan Yingwu quickly stepped forward and lifted the little guy up.

Little Jiu Nian pouted instantly.

"Grandpa, put me down. I’m a little man now. An ancient saying: a man should strive by himself, the book also says, a scholar is useless. I don’t want to go to Imperial College for lessons."

"Dear grandson, heed your grandpa’s words, training in martial arts is exhausting and bitter with no future. Look at these fool donkeys, they’ve studied martial arts all their lives, besides fighting, what else can they do? Look at your Uncle Feng, who never learned martial arts, and still built Feng Residence to fame back then."

Lan Yingwu glared at the sweaty martial artists behind him, pointedly criticizing them, intending to take Little Jiu Nian away.

The Lan Family Army couldn’t help but feel discontented.

Sir, is there any need to criticize your own subordinates like this? Besides, the mistress always scolds you for knowing nothing but fighting, doesn’t she?

But strangely enough, despite his martial background, Duke An never lets his beloved grandson learn martial arts. This is something everyone in Lan Residence knows.
