Ding!
The phone's ringtone echoed, and Ye Cangtian instinctively picked up his mobile. Seeing that it was Xu Weiwei calling, he tapped the answer button.
"The Bright Hall just replied, agreeing to the envoy delegation's visit."
"Most of the relevant procedures on my end have been completed. As long as you tell me the list of accompanying personnel, you can depart soon."
The call connected, and Xu Weiwei's voice immediately came through.
After all, they weren't going on a mission, but openly, under the name of an envoy delegation. Thus, some exit and entry procedures still needed to be prepared.
"Okay, I'll give you the preliminary list now, and you can handle the procedures directly!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian directly said, "Gui Wu, Xiao Yue, Xu Shi'an, Shangguan Yun, and then just assign me ten Xuan-level powerhouses."
Uh...
His words caused Shangguan Yun and Xu Shi'an, who were somewhat tipsy, to freeze. Immediately after, they sobered up, and surprise filled their eyes.
Could it be that Ye Cangtian had been joking with them earlier?
Since the other party was on the phone, they didn't press further but waited patiently.
"You scoundrel, did you forget what I told you!"
"You dare to bring that brat to the Bright Hall? Do you want me to die, or do you want me to strangle you!"
At this moment, a furious roar came from the phone.
On the other end, Xu Weiwei was trembling with anger.
The last time Ye Cangtian took Xu Shi'an to the Bright Hall, it had filled her with dread.
She had also explicitly stated that Xu Shi'an was her only family and that he absolutely could not afford any mishap. Yet, Ye Cangtian was still taking him to face danger.
She truly couldn't comprehend it!
"Just do as I say!"
"I will give you an explanation!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said.
Then, without waiting for a reply, he hung up the phone.
On the other side, seeing this, Xu Shi'an and Shangguan Yun quickly approached.
However, before they could speak, Ye Cangtian directly said, "Although I can't bring you along, I can take you out for some fun before we leave.
Go back and prepare, and remember, this matter cannot be mentioned to anyone!"
Huh?
His words left Xu Shi'an and Shangguan Yun bewildered, completely unsure of what Ye Cangtian was up to.
However, out of trust in Ye Cangtian, they both responded and then retreated from the courtyard.
...
At night, in a hotel somewhere in the capital.
In the luxurious suite on the top floor, Wang Qisheng was quietly cultivating.
His current cultivation level was not only due to the promotion by Master Chen Yi but also inseparable from his diligent practice.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
At this moment, a knock echoed on the door.
Wang Qisheng subconsciously opened his eyes and responded faintly.
The next moment, Wu Cheng walked in and came directly to his side.
"Lord Wang, we just received news that the Bright Hall has replied to Xu Weiwei, allowing the envoy delegation to visit and negotiate."
Upon hearing Wu Cheng's words, a smug smile immediately appeared on Wang Qisheng's face.
He had naturally seen the news on the war network and knew very well that the Dragon Group would definitely not tolerate this.
As expected, the Dragon Group had indeed taken action.
Thinking this, he glanced at Wu Cheng and asked, "Have you found out the specific list of personnel within the envoy delegation?"
Wu Cheng nodded and said, "We have found out. Ye Cangtian is leading the team, Gui Wu is accompanying him, along with Shangguan Yun, Xu Shi'an, and a woman named Xiao Yue. The rest are not worth mentioning!"
"Xiao Yue?"
A disdainful smile appeared on Wang Qisheng's face. He had never heard of a master named Xiao Yue.
However, these were not important. What was important was that Ye Cangtian had become the leader of the envoy delegation, which was simply a heaven-sent opportunity.
The Pope hated Ye Cangtian to the bone. If his guess was correct, this time Ye Cangtian was destined not to return and would be forever kept in Bright City by the Pope.
And without Ye Cangtian, the Dragon Group would lose its protection, and it would not be impossible to regain control of the Dragon Group.
Thinking this, he glanced at Wu Cheng and asked, "Have you found out where Zhan Xinghai lives?"
"I apologize, Lord Wang. Some of the people sent out have gone missing. They must have alerted the other party and been eliminated!" Wu Cheng quickly replied.
"No matter!"
"When Xu Weiwei has an accident, Zhan Xinghai will naturally show himself. At that time, if that old fellow doesn't know his place, I can deal with him then!"
Wang Qisheng waved his hand, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
Then, he looked at Wu Cheng and said faintly, "Do you know when Ye Cangtian and the others are departing?"
Wu Cheng quickly nodded, "Yes, tomorrow morning."
"Very good!"
A cold smile appeared on Wang Qisheng's face, and he then said, "Notify the brothers to come and enjoy the moon together tomorrow night!"
"Sir, are you sure?"
"Your subordinate dares to remind you, sir, that your actions could potentially implicate Master Chen Yi!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Cheng's heart tightened, and he quickly said.
Hmph!
Wang Qisheng snorted, "I naturally know, but the orders I received are to control the Dragon Group!"
Saying this, he saw Wu Cheng still wanting to say something and added, "Don't worry, everything is under my control. By the time Ye Cangtian knows about this, it will be too late! And he won't be able to return either!"
Looking at Wang Qisheng's confident expression, Wu Cheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, I will follow your lead, Lord Wang. Your subordinate will cooperate fully!"
With that, Wu Cheng bowed respectfully and withdrew from the room.
...
The next day, after bidding farewell to Tang Xinwan, Ye Cangtian arrived at the airport.
At the airport.
When Ye Cangtian arrived with Gui Wu and the others, the first thing he saw was a familiar figure – Xu Weiwei.
The next moment, Xu Weiwei walked over in a huff.
However, mindful of the people around, Xu Weiwei did not lash out at Ye Cangtian. Instead, she lowered her voice and said, "You win!"
Xu Weiwei was practically exploding with anger. The other party had clearly said he was going to the family compound to get the procedures but hadn't, and instead, he had made her personally deliver them.
This was already too much. More importantly, Ye Cangtian still hadn't given her a reason for taking Xu Shi'an away, making her grind her teeth in frustration.
"Heh, thank you for personally sending me off, Miss Weiwei."
Ye Cangtian chuckled at the angry Xu Weiwei and then brushed past her, approaching Xu Shi'an.
"Are the procedures all in hand?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's voice, Xu Shi'an nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, boss. The procedures are complete, and we can depart at any time."
"Good! Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and directly led everyone onto the private plane.
You scoundrel!
Seeing Ye Cangtian board the plane, Xu Weiwei gritted her teeth in anger.
Truth be told, she did want to see Ye Cangtian off, and she did need an excuse to do so.
But Ye Cangtian had only given her a chuckle and then ignored her, which was truly unacceptable to her.
However, she couldn't say anything now, as there were so many people around.
On the other side, the plane soon took off.
Inside the cabin, Xu Shi'an approached Ye Cangtian and asked, "Boss, what exactly is our plan?"
Even now, Xu Shi'an didn't understand Ye Cangtian's plan.
After all, they were already on the plane heading to Bright City, yet the other party had repeatedly said he wouldn't take him.
This made it impossible for him to guess what the other party was up to.
"Alright, then I'll give you a hint!"
"Wang Qisheng has not left the capital!"
Ye Cangtian said lightly.
Now that everyone on the plane was trustworthy, and the act he had put on was almost complete, he figured he could fool the informants.
Therefore, he no longer concealed it.
What!
His words caused Xu Shi'an's eyes to widen, and Shangguan Yun was also drawn in by this statement.
The next moment, Shangguan Yun spoke first, "Now that the Dragon Group's authority has fallen into Xu Weiwei's hands, Wang Qisheng has no business here. Why doesn't he return to the Hidden Group? What is he trying to do?"
"Hmph!"
Xu Shi'an glared at Shangguan Yun, then said irritably, "He's naturally unwilling to see the Dragon Group fall into someone else's hands. He must have ulterior motives for staying!"
"That's right."
Ye Cangtian nodded, then said, "Therefore, we need to put on a show of the empty city stratagem. Only when they see us leave will the other party have an opportunity to make a move..."
In Ye Cangtian's opinion, although their movements had been notified to the Bright Hall, going a day earlier or later was all the same.
What was most important now was to completely resolve the internal affairs of Huaxia. He wanted to see what methods Wang Qisheng would employ!
