Red Heart Patrols the Sky

Chapter 2591 - 2: Longing Hearts Are Not Like Water (Part 2)

Spending two years trapped in the iron cage of the Heavenly Rule Palace without a word from Jiang Wang!Even things like the Blood Demon always have some disciples or chaotic believers thinking of rescuing it.

Yet Yu Beidou is worse off than the Blood Demon!

Young people prioritize their careers, young people are busy with cultivation, he understands it all.

But the Jiang family has reached the Triple Punishment Palace, two years without old me’s news, without even asking once, what kind of coward are you!

Seeing Yu Beidou suddenly rolling up his sleeves, Jiang Wang astutely helped him roll them up, honestly answering: "I’ve thought about it, there were several times I thought of you."

For instance, when Tu Hu dealt with the Illusion Demon Lord, or when Ruan Qin sent over an old knife coin...

Yu Beidou wasn’t sure if Jiang Wang’s help in rolling up his sleeves was an act of provocation, as if saying ’come on, try hitting me’, and decided to observe further.

Jiang Wang added: "For instance, last time when I was hunting Zhang Linchuan, I planned to ask you for some divination help."

"Ha!" Yu Beidou sneered: "You, the mighty Marquis Wu’an of Daqi, needing divination, not asking your Qi Country’s Imperial Heavenly Observatory, but me?"

He lifted his chin, proudly saying: "Seems you have some insight!"

Jiang Wang awkwardly smiled, swallowing down the words ’Ruan Jianzheng didn’t reply to my letter then’: "You are indeed the True Man of the Age in divination power, I truly couldn’t think of anyone else."

Yu Beidou’s beard almost stood up, but his hand unceremoniously slapped away Jiang Wang’s diligent sleeve-rolling hand, coldly snorted: "Looking for Yu Beidou when there’s an issue, for Zhuo Qingru otherwise."

Jiang Wang didn’t understand why he suddenly mentioned Zhuo Qingru, honestly said: "I also seek Zhuo Qingru for matters."

"I knew it!" Yu Beidou complained: "You won’t rise early for nothing, uninvolved, emotionless!"

Jiang Wang found Yu Beidou’s current state, quite similar to that old dragon in the Yuheng Star Tower, with a pent-up resentment Qi, not sure where it’s coming from. A true man like Yu, who games in the human world daily, shouldn’t be so vexed?

Couldn’t help but roll his eyes: "What business brings you to the Three Treasures Hall? Staying home for cultivation isn’t good? Dao Techniques aren’t practiced enough, books aren’t fully memorized."

This made a lot of sense, even Yu Beidou, for a moment, didn’t know how to refute, simply spread apart his already rolled-up sleeves: "Forget it, less idle talk. Long time no see, let old me examine your cultivation, test you, see how much you’ve improved!"

The spar came so abruptly, Jiang Wang hurriedly said: "Wait——"

Bang!

The domestic soldiers guarding the marquis’ carriage were vigilantly observing the surroundings, suddenly saw their luxurious carriage shatter into pieces, with light and shadow swirling, Vitality boiling!

These soldiers had all fought alongside Jiang Wang in previous battles, later joining the Wu’an Marquis Mansion as personal soldiers. When confronting this sudden change, they immediately took a combat stance.

"Protect the Marquis!" Guard leader Fang Yuanyou drew his sword and shouted, preparing to lead the charge forward.

A red light circled the carriage, forming a closed light shield, separating the inside from the outside. The muffled voice of Marquis Wu’an transmitted from within: "Don’t panic! It’s just a spar!"

The guards’ charge abruptly stopped, looking at the completely opaque red light shield, momentarily exchanging puzzled glances.

...

On the road returning to Qi.

Fang Yuanyou’s eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, clutching the reins, not glancing sideways.

The spar within the light shield had no conclusion, they could neither see inside nor hear any sound.

They only knew the intense light and shadow transformations within the shield went on for a long while, and after the light shield dissipated, the Marquis slipped into the auxiliary carriage and never emerged again.

With whom the Marquis sparred, he dared not ask.

He couldn’t bear to lose the golden bowl he gained from risking his life on the Qi Xia battlefield.

Being cautious and careful is the proper way.

But he was really curious who had locked up the invincible Marquis he held in his heart and beat him up...!

...

...

"I’m really curious!"

With a jade-like face, Bai Yuxia walked in high steps in the spacious hall.

A mourning outfit further cooled his aura.

He looked at the full hall of ministers, at many he knew as ’uncles’, and indeed at the Yue Country Monarch on the dragon throne.

"Who can tell me why Marquis Wu’an of Qi has already warned us, yet that Unborn Sect Founder can still roam freely within my Yue Country territory?"

"Why a notable master of Yue Country, esteemed among the Nine Ministers, was killed on his own land, yet Zhang Linchuan who did it could escape my Yue Country boundaries?"

"Who can tell me, whom is Yue Country’s border defense set against?"

With eyes reddened by blood, he looked at everyone in the grand hall and loudly questioned: "Who can tell me, where are my Yue Country’s transcendent warriors?"

"Is the National Defense Great Formation already broken?"

"Are there no eyes watching over this land?"

"Can anyone provide an explanation to Langya Bai’s Family?"

He clenched his fist, pounding his heart: "Who can give a son who’s lost his father...an explanation!?"

The hall fell into silence.

No one could answer Bai Yuxia.

Even though he only possessed Inner Mansion Realm cultivation, was a young lad yet to grow.

Because, stripped of all else, to Yue Country once proud as a major nation, Bai Pingfu’s death indeed was a tremendous humiliation, a grave mistake!

And besides Yue Country’s monarch Wen Jingxiu, and Ge Fei in charge of handling Zhang Linchuan’s matter, who else was qualified to provide a resolution?
