Chapter 6: Resolving Matters
When Lian Yun initially promised to take Wang He to the Demon Realm, he now realized that if he were solely relying on his personal abilities, it would likely take him a hundred years to leave Yin Yang City, let alone reach the Demon Realm.
It should be noted that if Lian Yun had not borrowed nearly seven hundred billion Imperial Coins from Insect Emperor III, he would not have been able to amass a trillion Imperial Coins by now. Moreover, at that time, Wang He was merely a newly ascended Monarch.
This time, when Lian Yun met Wang He, he had already reached the Intermediate Peak Monarch Realm. Although his progress was rapid, his foundation remained relatively stable; however, if he were to break through immediately, instability would arise.
Seeing Lian Yun brought a mix of joy and sorrow to Wang He.
Given that he had managed to control himself well over the past few years without resorting to unscrupulous means, Lian Yun gifted him his Silver Dragon Armor, along with one hundred thousand Diamond Spirit Coins and ten thousand Mental Potions.
These Mental Potions were taken from Qin Kui's wealth. At that time, Lian Yun discovered that Qin Kui had nearly one hundred thousand Mental Potions in his personal fortune. Lian Yun suspected that Qin Kui had not used them much since Tomb-Sweeping Day and might be planning a prolonged battle against him.
Since the quantity was considerable, Lian Yun took some for himself, giving ten thousand to Lin Xiaoyao and now another ten thousand to Wang He, leaving him with several tens of thousands still in hand.
After handing over the items to Wang He, Lian Yun calmly remarked, "Desire leads to failure. If it were before, I might not have had the right to say this."
Lian Yun suddenly made a self-deprecating remark and then looked at Wang He with a serious expression. "If you force it, you may find it difficult to leave Yin Yang City for your entire life. It would be better to proceed steadily."
"Tell me about the appearance and features of the person you wish to rescue! If there is an opportunity, I will help you bring them back to the Land of Huaxia so that when you return, you can meet directly."
"However, I cannot guarantee this. You must still prepare yourself for the journey to rescue your loved one."
Initially excited, Wang He fell silent upon hearing Lian Yun's words. After a long moment, he nodded and described a woman's appearance along with many of her characteristics and some hidden secrets between them.
Finally, gritting his teeth, Wang He said, "If Cloud Emperor cannot save her, I will not dare voice any complaints. But if Cloud Emperor has the chance to see her, please lend her a helping hand; at the very least, allow her to hold on until I can reach her."
"Ten years! Within ten years, I will definitely be able to leave Yin Yang City!"
"Ten years? Alright! I will do my best." Lian Yun sighed, his expression firm.
Wang He sought to save not only his beloved but also the one who had vanished to save him. This beloved had sacrificed everything for him, and now he was willing to do anything for an excellent choice. He was indeed a hopeless romantic.
Ten years, considering his current level, which was far from that of a High Emperor, felt quite short. However, in terms of longing and suffering, it was an eternity.
Knowing that Wang He did not have lofty ambitions, Lian Yun nodded. If possible, he also wanted to help him wholeheartedly. Not for any other reason, but simply because Lian Yun felt that his love was somewhat similar to Le Yan's—steadfast until death.
Thinking of Beautiful Smoke made Lian Yun's heart ache even more.
"Thank you! If I can save Xin, I am willing to be a servant for the Cloud Emperor!" Watching Lian Yun's departing figure, Wang He did not bow or salute, yet his determination was unwavering.
Though they were not related by blood, Lian Yun was willing to provide him with so many resources, leaving Wang He feeling indebted. Moreover, it was Lian Yun's promise that weighed heavily on him.
He understood that as long as it did not threaten Lian Yun's parents' safety, Lian Yun would help him rescue Xin, even if it meant offending the Three Great Emperors of the Demon Realm.
Because Lian Yun would give his all meant that he truly would go all out; Wang He believed in this.
Though his heart raced with urgency, he still took the time to accompany his sister Meng Yixuan and listened to her play the piano.
He observed the faint sadness on her face.
"Sister! I have a clone left behind; I can come see you anytime!"
Meng Yixuan nodded but did not speak.
If the clone were identical to his true self, Lian Yun would not have made a special trip to spend time here.
Lian Yun felt a sense of helplessness as the time for parting approached. He stood up and said solemnly, "If within a year, the changes in Huaxia do not threaten the safety of our people, I may return! After all, I also wish to challenge the Half Emperor realm, and even reach the level of the Great Emperor."
Meng Yixuan nodded silently in response.
The reason was that if Lian Yun were to return, he would surely have Excellent Choice by his side.
Although she did not view Lian Yun as a lover, she also did not see him merely as a younger brother. Her feelings were complex, which could be said to be the nature of a woman!
She felt a twinge of jealousy.
Lian Yun was unaware of Meng Yixuan's thoughts; he only felt a sense of difficulty. In the end, he could only bow in farewell before leaving.
As he departed, Lian Yun still had a few matters to attend to.
One was the promise he made to Bai Yuancheng and Shihai Yong regarding their choice to stay or leave. The other was Tian Xiang'er.
Bai Yuancheng and Shihai Yong were now unwilling to leave Lian Yun at any cost, but there was a slight issue with Tian Xiang'er.
Tian Shou hoped that Tian Xiang'er would follow Lian Yun closely, but Tian Xiang'er insisted on staying to accompany her brother.
Of course, she was grateful for all that Lian Yun had provided her; however, she cared more about her brother.
Now that she had reached the intermediate Demon Emperor realm, her strength surpassed that of Tian Shou. Thus, with no way to force her, Tian Shou could only desperately plead with Lian Yun to take Tian Xiang'er away.
This left Lian Yun feeling quite troubled.
He wanted to help both sides but found himself unable to assist either.
However, in the end, Tian Shou only hoped that Tian Xiang'er could have a support, while Tian Xiang'er simply did not want to leave her brother. Therefore, Lian Yun made a decision for both of them.
He would not terminate the contract with Tian Xiang'er, but he also would not take her out of Yin Yang City.
At first, Tian Xiang'er did not oppose this arrangement, but Tian Shou was very much against it. However, after considering Lian Yun's clone's strength and realizing that Tian Xiang'er would closely follow Lian Yun's clone, he reluctantly agreed.
Thus, after making some preparations, Lian Yun paid ten trillion Imperial Coins and then took the same train to leave Yin Yang City.
Notably, all of Lian Yun's Ghost Slaves followed him closely, each carrying a large box.
When Lin Xiaoyao left, Lian Yun had already realized that the so-called spatial equipment from Yin Yang City had no effect outside of it.
Therefore, he could only take the items in this manner.
Moreover, due to the confidentiality requirements of Yin Yang City, if anything Lian Yun carried was discovered, he would immediately face punishment from either Yin Yang City or the Eternal Emperor.
For this reason, Lian Yun even made a special trip to the imperial city to ask Emperor Yi for help in pleading his case.
Aside from other matters, he was determined to ensure that Yaochi Water would be used by his grandmother.
