A few people think it's reasonable, can't we let Wenjie, with his family, venture into the world? Otherwise, the first person in the heavenly realm would definitely be him!
Mo Wenjie looked at them and said, "You don't have to worry about me. After this matter is resolved, I might take you all away from here and we can explore other places. The place with thirty-six realms is too large, and I will definitely take you to see the true extent of the heavens outside of the thirty-six realms. Let you know how vast the heavenly realm is!"
Xiao Yawen, upon hearing this, looked at Mo Wenjie with a smile and nodded. "We are definitely going to follow you in the future," she said. "The principle of husband and wife following each other is something we understand as well. As long as you lead us, wherever we go, we will not have any dissatisfaction!"
Tuoba Yingying was even happier, dancing around with glee. "I love to wander the seas and travel around countries the most," she exclaimed. "I want to thoroughly experience what it is to truly realize that there is heaven beyond heaven. By then, I will surely feel very excited. In this life, having you is enough for me!"
As the saying goes, "Two flowers blooming, each expressing its own beauty." Continuing with the story, Ye Qiuyang in the Cloud City was indeed very bored with his daily routine. He wandered around the city every day, but had yet to meet a woman who caught his heart. This made him very unhappy. He couldn't keep going like this; he had to do something about it. He couldn't wait any longer. He decided to visit the Lord's Mansion and ask Liu Wei what he was thinking. Perhaps he could help him investigate what was really going on. Was Xiao Yawen really out on an excursion or just deliberately avoiding him? If she was truly out on an excursion, then he could forgive her, but if she was avoiding him, then he would definitely pay them a visit later. Without realizing it, Ye Qiuyang found himself at the Lord's Mansion.
Ye Qiuyang arrived at Liu Wei's office.
Liu Wei hurried forward to shake hands with him. "Master Ye, what wind has brought you here?"
Ye Qiuyang looked at Liu Wei helplessly and shook his head. "Liu Wei, I can't explain it all at once!"
Hearing this, Liu Wei immediately spoke up. "Master Ye, what troubles you? Just tell me, as long as it's something I can do, I would gladly take on any task, even if it requires me to give my life for it. You can rest assured that I will do whatever it takes to help you. Just say what you need, and I have a bit of a reputation in the Cloud City. Whether it's anyone, they would give me some face. That's why I can assist Master Ye!"
Ye Qiuyang, upon hearing this, felt moved to the point of tears. "Liu Wei, you're too kind. As long as you can handle this matter for me, I will certainly reward you handsomely!"
Hearing this, Liu Wei immediately felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. As a grandson of the city lord, something that couldn't be done in the Cloud City would certainly not be an ordinary matter. If it were something ordinary, the city lord would have already instructed someone by now. But there hasn't been any news, and even though the city lord is helping him out, it seems like this matter is not as straightforward as it seems. He doesn't want to get involved in this mess and potentially get himself involved as well. Thinking about it, he began to ask, "What exactly is the matter, Master Ye? Why does it seem so troubling to you?"
Ye Qiuyang, upon hearing this, was filled with anger. "Liu Wei, you may not know that during my visit to the Cloud City, I encountered a woman whose beauty is unparalleled. I followed her home and discovered that her name is Xiao Yawen, a woman from the Xiao family. I arranged for someone to propose to her family, but they informed me that Xiao Yawen already had an engagement. At the time, I suggested that they dissolve the engagement between Xiao Yawen and her betrothed and enter into a marriage contract with me instead. Any issues can be resolved by me. If the betrothed refuses to dissolve the engagement, I will not hesitate to take action against him. I will give them some time to think it over and realize that their lives are more important than a woman's whim. To my surprise, the Xiao family claimed that Xiao Yawen has gone on a long journey and won't be back anytime soon. If she doesn't return soon, I am no longer willing to wait any longer. I plan to visit the Xiao family again to check if she has returned yet. If she hasn't returned yet, then there's nothing left for me here in the Cloud City but disappointment and regret. If it turns out that she is deliberately avoiding me and refusing to see me, then there will be no mercy for her family from my side!"
Hearing this, Liu Wei shook his head immediately. "Master Ye, I can't help you with this matter. You must handle everything yourself. After all, I'm just a guard, responsible for serving the city lord, and I don't have any authority. So, I definitely can't assist you with this issue. Please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuyang looked at Liu Wei and said, "This is still the arrogant Liu Wei I know? How did he suddenly become so humble? Perhaps this has something to do with the Xiao family. But that's impossible; even if the Xiao family is a wealthy family in the Cloud City, it's not possible for them to make Liu Wei afraid. The Xiao family must be very mysterious indeed!" Thinking of this, Ye Qiuyang decided to bid farewell to Liu Wei. "Since you are like this, I will take my leave!"
Hearing this, Liu Wei quickly got up to see him off. "Goodbye, Master Ye! I can't help with this matter, but if there's anything else I can assist you with, I will certainly not stand idly by. Please forgive me for my inability to help you this time!"
Hearing this, Ye Qiuyang hurriedly shook his head. "Too polite of you, Liu Wei! There are plenty of times in the future where I will need your help. I hope you won't be like this. Even though you couldn't help with this matter, it's all right. After all, we have known each other for many years, and I still don't know?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Wei nodded immediately and said, "Master Ye, I appreciate your understanding. It makes me very touched." He added, "As for this matter, we won't go into it further. Please wait and see my actions next time!"
Ye Qiuyang left Liu Wei's office, pondering that he still had to seek the city lord. Otherwise, he would remain clueless about the Xiao family's situation and needed the city lord to send someone to investigate them. He would like to see what they were up to. If they truly intended to avoid him, he would not hesitate to take action against them. He planned to gather elite warriors from Xingluo City and eliminate the Xiao family, teaching them a lesson for deceiving him and thinking he was an easy target.
Ye Qiuyang was escorted by the guards to Master Zhang's office. "Grandpa Zhang, you must take my side! I believe the Xiao family is deceiving me. Please send someone to investigate the Xiao family and find out if Xiao Yawen has really gone on a long journey?"
Hearing this, Master Zhang looked at Ye Qiuyang and said, "I told you, Master Ye, that you've been here for over a month now. Why haven't you left yet? Hasn't the investigation into the Xiao family already been completed? Yes, Xiao Yawen has indeed gone on a long journey. Why don't you believe me?"
Ye Qiuyang, upon hearing this, hastily waved his hands and said, "Grandpa Zhang, I meant no offense. How could I possibly doubt you? I am just worried that the Xiao family might be deceiving you!"
Hearing this, Master Zhang looked at Ye Qiuyang and said, "Are you implying that I lack any authority or respect? Is that what you mean when you say that no one would dare to deceive me because I'm not as capable as your grandfather? Do you think everyone would try to deceive me except for you because no one dares to deceive your grandfather? I understand your concern. You can return now. If you want to know if Xiao Yawen has returned, simply go to her home and ask her directly. Once you have the information, come back and show me so I can help you resolve the issue. Stop bothering me with this nonsense. I'm very busy. Surely your grandfather is never idle every day?"
Hearing this, Ye Qiuyang hurriedly shook his head. "Grandpa Zhang, that's not what I meant. I know you're very busy, but I hope you can take some interest in my matter as well!"
Hearing this, Master Zhang pondered in his heart. This playboy of yours has been terrorizing the common people everywhere, and now you're running around my Cloud City causing trouble. I've already given your grandfather great face by not having you executed. You still dare to cause more trouble here? Don't you think there's no one in the Cloud City who can handle you? You're mistaken! If it weren't for me keeping them in check, do you think you'd still be alive? And if I hadn't had some connection with your grandfather, do you think you could have stayed safe in the Cloud City? You're truly a self-destructive fool! I've already been very patient with you, but if you dare to continue behaving insensitively, it won't be that I don't respect the late Yellow Imperial Zhang. Even if someone wants to kill you, I won't interfere! Are you trying to create chaos in my Cloud City? Xiao Yawen is not only Mo Wenjie's betrothed but also the sister-in-law of Deputy Commander Qū. She is also a member of one of the top noble families in the Cloud City. With such a prestigious background, how dare you try to steal her away? What have you not dared to do? This is already my greatest tolerance for your actions. Why can't you stop making yourself miserable? Can't you find another way to die?"
