About half an hour later, Xu Shi'an returned to the compound. Seeing that Xu Weiwei's condition had improved significantly, he immediately gave Ye Cangtian a thumbs-up in his heart.
Thinking of this, he quickly walked up and said, "Sister, why are you in such a hurry to call me back? Is there something going on?"
Xu Weiwei did not speak, but cast her gaze towards Ye Cangtian.
"I'm the one who asked her to call you."
Sensing Xu Weiwei's gaze, Ye Cangtian explained, then said, "Prepare yourself and wait for my notification. Then, you'll be coming on a trip with me."
"Where are we going?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shi'an instinctively asked. Xu Weiwei also looked over.
"You'll know when we get there."
Ye Cangtian said lightly. He had originally planned to state the destination directly, but decided against it upon reflection.
Now, Xu Shi'an was the only remaining relative by Xu Weiwei's side. If he knew that he would be taking Xu Shi'an on a dangerous adventure, she would surely be uneasy.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian decided it would be better to inform Xu Weiwei after their return.
"Ugh! Brother, what are you playing at?"
"If you're not going to tell us, why did you come here in person? You could have just called!"
Hearing this, Xu Shi'an grumbled helplessly.
In response, Ye Cangtian snorted and said, "Firstly, I came to offer incense to the old man. Secondly, Weiwei has taken over the Dragon Group, and mobilizing you naturally has to go through her..."
"Uh, does it have to be that troublesome?"
"When the old man was here, you could mobilize me with just a word, couldn't you?"
Xu Shi'an was slightly taken aback and muttered.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted and heavily tapped Xu Shi'an on the head, saying, "No wonder the old man didn't let you take over. Your brain is really mush!"
"I..."
Hearing this, Xu Shi'an immediately looked to Xu Weiwei for help.
As a result, Xu Weiwei also snorted and said, "He's right. Your brain is indeed mush."
Xu Weiwei understood Ye Cangtian's actions very well.
It was to establish her authority and also to show those arrogant and unruly members of the Dragon Group that even Ye Cangtian, who had contributed greatly, had to follow proper procedures.
This way, opportunistic individuals would have to think twice before acting.
This...
Hearing Xu Weiwei's words, Xu Shi'an's eyes widened.
All he could think was that women always favored outsiders; once they found a man they liked, they'd disown their own kin...
Complaining inwardly, Xu Shi'an stopped talking and went back to his room to pack.
Meanwhile, seeing this, Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly. Then, led by Xu Weiwei, he offered incense to Old Master Xu and left the family compound.
...
Returning to the villa.
Ye Cangtian called Nan Xi and Gui Wu to his side.
After a moment of hesitation, he slowly said, "I will be going to Guangming City. I'll leave things here to you."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Nan Xi and Gui Wu's eyes widened.
They both knew that Ye Cangtian intended to avenge Old Master Xu, but going to Guangming City was extremely dangerous!
Thinking of this, Gui Wu quickly said, "Boss, do you know that the Pope is stationed in Guangming City? It will be very difficult for you to kill Dames there..."
In Gui Wu's opinion, Dames had completed his mission and was definitely a favored subordinate of the Pope.
Therefore, even if Ye Cangtian succeeded in killing Dames, he might not be able to escape the Pope's pursuit.
If he were to be buried with Dames, then this venture would not be worth it!
"Heh, Guangming City is so vast, it won't be easy for the Pope to find me!"
Ye Cangtian sneered when he heard this.
The Guangming Hall had repeatedly acted in the Chinese capital. Now, it was time to let them taste what it was like to be ambushed.
The most crucial thing was that Old Master Xu's revenge must be exacted!
Seeing the determined look in Ye Cangtian's eyes, Gui Wu became anxious and quickly glanced at Nan Xi beside her.
She knew that once Ye Cangtian made up his mind, it was very difficult to change it, so she wanted Nan Xi to persuade him together.
Sensing Gui Wu's gaze, Nan Xi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I am more familiar with Guangming City. Let me go with you."
"You..."
Hearing this, Gui Wu's eyes widened. Ye Cangtian had gone mad for revenge, and now Nan Xi was joining in the madness!
But now that even Nan Xi supported it, her words were even more powerless. She simply shut her mouth.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian looked at Nan Xi deeply and slowly said, "Nan Xi, I'm not telling you this to involve you. I just hope that you can protect Xin Wan."
Ye Cangtian was not lying. He knew very well that Nan Xi, as a former prodigy of the Guangming Hall, must be extremely familiar with it.
But precisely because of Nan Xi's identity, she would still have some feelings for the Guangming Hall.
Having Nan Xi help him deal with the Guangming Hall would be a kind of cruelty to Nan Xi, and he could not bring himself to do such a thing. m..oΓg
"I know. Helping you this time is my own decision."
Hearing this, Nan Xi gritted her teeth and said.
She did have feelings for the Guangming Hall, but these feelings had long since been depleted by the Guangming Hall's repeated purges.
At the same time, after interacting with him for a period, she knew that Ye Cangtian truly treated her like family and cared for her.
Therefore, if Ye Cangtian needed her, she would not hesitate.
"Alright, I can agree to that, but there are two conditions."
Seeing Nan Xi's persistence, Ye Cangtian no longer insisted, as Nan Xi's presence would undoubtedly be of great help to him.
"What conditions?" Nan Xi asked instinctively.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian did not delay and directly said, "Firstly, you must disguise yourself. Secondly, unless absolutely necessary, you cannot lay a hand on anyone from the Guangming Hall."
"This..."
Nan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then her heart was touched again.
Ye Cangtian's two requests were, in essence, for her sake.
The former was to prevent her from being discovered by the Guangming Hall and facing a life-threatening situation.
The latter was also for her consideration, as she came from the Guangming Hall and fundamentally did not wish to be enemies with them.
Thinking of this, Nan Xi nodded and said, "Thank you."
Meanwhile, seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Gui Wu's mouth twitched.
After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Boss, if I want to go with you now, is there still a chance?"
Although she did not approve of this operation, since she could not stop it, she could not stand by and watch Ye Cangtian take risks. Thus, she reluctantly changed her mind.
"What do you think?"
Ye Cangtian glared back, then continued somewhat irritably, "Do you think I would leave Xin Wan unattended?"
"Oh, fine, forget I said anything."
Mentioning Tang Xin Wan, Gui Wu immediately became helpless.
Now that Nan Xi was going with him, if she also went, the safety of Tang Xin Wan would be difficult to guarantee.
She couldn't possibly hand this matter over to Lan Yue, could she?
After all, Lan Yue was from the Dark Association. If she were to protect Ye Cangtian's fiancée, wouldn't everything be exposed?
It was also with this thought that Gui Wu could only reluctantly accept the reality.
After a minor interlude, that evening, Ye Cangtian, accompanied by Nan Xi and Xu Shi'an, boarded a plane.
...
More than ten hours later, the plane landed at Guangming City Airport.
Since all three had prepared false identities and disguised themselves, they easily passed the checks.
It was only then that Xu Shi'an realized they had arrived in Guangming City.
The next moment, he immediately became excited. After all, what else could they be in Guangming City for?
Naturally, it was to avenge Old Master Xu!
Indeed, the reason Ye Cangtian brought Xu Shi'an was to allow him to personally kill his enemy!
"Xiao Xi, you're familiar with this place. Make arrangements for accommodation first."
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian ignored the excited Xu Shi'an and looked at Nan Xi.
Hearing this, Nan Xi nodded and said, "Follow me. I know a hotel that originally belonged to Cardinal Idi. The Guangming Hall rarely investigates there..."
Although all three were disguised, Nan Xi knew that this operation was fraught with danger, so they had to be as careful as possible.
And Idi's property was the best choice.
Although Idi had died in China, the Guangming Hall would still take care of his family.
Moreover, Idi's family was also considered part of the Guangming Hall, and any discoveries would naturally be reported to the Guangming Hall.
This made the Guangming Hall even less likely to believe that any petty thieves would stay there, which was why the Guangming Hall rarely sent people to inspect it.
"That's great, the brightest place is the darkest!"
Hearing Nan Xi's suggestion, Ye Cangtian immediately nodded.
