Chapter 6: The Return Date Approaches
Qin Kui's assets and power encompassed nearly the entire Qin Dynasty, along with some hidden wealth. However, as Ouyang Mingxiu examined the documents, he felt that Lian Yun had only taken a portion of the Imperial Coins and some minerals.
The information Lian Yun provided essentially represented all the assets of the Qin Dynasty, which could resolve the significant issue of compensation.
Yet, Lian Yun merely nodded before turning to look at Lan Ruoxuan. Upon receiving a nod in return, the two set off together back to Chang'an City.
Lian Yun entrusted the Qin Dynasty to Ouyang Mingxiu because he knew that Ouyang was someone who genuinely cared for Chang'an City.
However, people's hearts can change. It was uncertain whether Ouyang would maintain his current mindset after absorbing the Qin Dynasty's resources, which is why Lian Yun deliberately requested his protection over Azure Pavilion.
Regardless of whether Ouyang would change or not, Lian Yun did not overly concern himself with it, as he still had two avatars remaining in Yin Yang City.
Upon returning to Chang'an City and passing by Central Square, they spotted Qin Kui standing rigidly beside the Teleportation Array.
He appeared dazed, completely unresponsive to the outside world, like a statue.
The two approached to take a closer look and discovered that renting for a day required Three Thousand Diamond Spirit Coins.
This price was extraordinarily high.
However, upon reflection, it seemed somewhat reasonable. After all, the Emperor had spent a considerable amount to buy his life; it was only natural for him to seek to recoup or profit from that investment, given the countless value of the Imperial Coins.
Moreover, this also reflected the worth and dignity of the Peerless Monarch. Although anyone in Chang'an City could rent him, not everyone possessed that qualification. This ensured that chaos would not ensue in Chang'an City.
For instance, if the price were too low, some individuals might recklessly rent Qin Kui. One strike from him could cause significant destruction—damage that would take a lifetime's savings to recover from for those involved.
Regarding Qin Kui's predicament, Lan Ruoxuan felt neither schadenfreude nor joy at revenge; she seemed to have seen through something, her demeanor more indifferent than ever before.
This was due to the terrifying message conveyed by the Emperor's thunderous methods.
He could enslave the Peerless Monarch at any time, and the Peerless Monarch had no power to resist.
"The Yin Yang Guqin is dispensable!"
Lan Ruoxuan suddenly said, then ignored Lian Yun and walked towards the Azure Pavilion alone.
She knew that Lian Yun was about to leave Yin Yang City and also understood that the Yin Yang Guqin was not easy to obtain. Thus, she hoped that Lian Yun could leave with peace of mind.
Lian Yun nodded and headed towards the Treasure Alliance.
Upon entering, he was naturally greeted by Qian Duoduo, but this time his expression showed a hint of unease and apprehension.
However, Lian Yun smiled calmly and said, "I’m not here for a transaction; I also want to see if I can forge equipment at the Demigod Level."
At this, Qian Duoduo was instantly delighted, nodding repeatedly but momentarily at a loss for words.
Still smiling, Lian Yun continued, "I just need you to collect some unique and rare ores, primarily white or transparent ones."
"Alright, alright! I will do my utmost. When do you plan to start forging?"
"No rush; it should take at least a year or two!"
"A year or two?" Qian Duoduo was puzzled. He knew that Lian Yun would be leaving in two or three months, so this mention of a year or two suddenly brought him joy. He cautiously asked, "When do you plan to return?"
Realizing that Qian Duoduo had misunderstood, Lian Yun chose not to explain. Instead, he playfully smiled mysteriously and said, "I just hope that when Qian the Shopkeeper sees me next time, you won’t turn me away at the door."
"How could that be? That joke isn’t funny at all," Qian Duoduo replied angrily, clearly displeased.
Yet Lian Yun remained unfazed, still smiling mysteriously.
After sitting for a while, Lian Yun finally left. He then sent a message to the general who had been elusive for two years. The response he received was that the other party would not come to meet him for the last time but wanted Lian Yun to ask Yin Ruoxue if she would like to come to Yin Yang City.
It seemed that the General truly wanted to entice his own sister.
Naturally, Lian Yun, who already had little fondness for Yin Ruoxue, went along with the General's wishes.
Next, Lian Yun first arrived at the Corrupted Realm and contacted Lin Xiaoyao, handing over an extra four to five trillion Imperial Coins and twenty rights to the Emperor's Flowing Nectar Baptism.
This was to enhance Lin Xiaoyao's strength, enabling him to acquire more Imperial Coins, perhaps allowing them to leave together.
Previously, Lin Xiaoyao had not given Lian Yun any Imperial Coins to facilitate his early departure because he also needed to leave. If he had any surplus, he would undoubtedly have given it to Lian Yun without hesitation, just as Lian Yun was doing now.
This was an unspoken understanding between them.
Thus, the two returned to the Imperial City simultaneously and then headed towards the palace. On the way, Lian Yun revealed a significant secret to Lin Xiaoyao: Emperor Yi was still alive, right within the Imperial City.
This surprised Lin Xiaoyao, who had a carefree and easygoing personality.
It should be noted that Emperor Yi was regarded as a figure of faith for everyone in Huaxia Land for nearly a century.
Lin Xiaoyao was eager to pay a visit, and Lian Yun took him there. They were not turned away; however, when they met, there were no words exchanged. Still, Lin Xiaoyao felt quite satisfied.
Upon reaching the palace entrance, Lian Yun waited outside.
Since Lian Yun's realm was not yet sufficient, he did not plan to undergo the Emperor's Flowing Nectar Baptism at that moment. Without using this right, he had no qualification to enter the palace and thus could not learn about the situation inside.
However, Lian Yun did not feel discouraged or puzzled; he simply waited calmly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Xiaoyao emerged. Aside from appearing slightly more robust, there were no other noticeable changes in him.
"Did you gain anything?" Lian Yun asked.
Lin Xiaoyao immediately shook his head and replied, "After experiencing ten baptisms, I found no gains. I feel it might be that my opportunity has not yet arrived, so I decided not to continue."
He returned the remaining ten chances of power to Lian Yun. Lian Yun hesitated for a moment but ultimately accepted it without refusal.
Lian Yun only granted Lin Xiaoyao twenty chances of power because he needed some for his own clones and wanted to save some in case Grandmother Elder Lady and the Uncles decided to come over, allowing them to use it.
Lin Xiaoyao clearly understood this intention.
Thus, the two immediately returned to the Filth Realm, where they worked together to hunt down the Filth with all their might.
If Lian Yun had other important matters, he would not have come to assist Lin Xiaoyao, and Lin Xiaoyao would not have accepted Lian Yun's help.
Now, with a clone left behind and no urgent matters at hand, they were able to travel together.
Having been closer than brothers, there was naturally no need for any kind of guard between them. Their full cooperation unexpectedly allowed Lin Xiaoyao to accumulate a staggering ten trillion Imperial Coins.
With only two days left until the Three-Year Return Period, Lin Xiaoyao was eager to return home. He quickly bid farewell to Lian Yun and made his way back to the Twelve Cities.
Meanwhile, Lian Yun also felt a strong urge to return but stopped by Handan City to visit the Huaxia Alliance forces.
