Su Yang pursed his lips upon hearing this, "This woman is quite formidable. She doesn't look old, yet she's already in a high position."
Indeed, in the image, Li Yue had rosy lips and white teeth, appearing no older than a teenager.
Su Yang was twenty years old at this time, but Li Yue was already twenty-six.
"How old is this woman?"
"Twenty-six, unmarried."
"Why do I need to know she's unmarried?" Su Yang looked at Jiang Hei.
Jiang Hei chuckled, his dark circles almost looking like charcoal. He looked at Su Yang and said, "Boss, unmarried means you can go for it."
"Get lost," Su Yang returned the computer to Jiang Hei and said, "Who is this person? The president of the Dragon Country's Dragon Association, and she has such a father. You think I can just go for her?"
Jiang Hei chuckled again, "Boss, her status is high, but so is yours. Women of Dragon Country, women of this world, don't you just have them whenever you want?"
Perhaps it was due to staying up late, but Jiang Hei's complexion was very poor.
Although Jiang Hei was smiling, Su Yang was worried that Jiang Hei might just collapse.
"You should go rest. Your complexion looks too bad."
Jiang Hei yawned upon hearing this, "Boss, don't worry. I'll be completely fine after eating a Ten-Ingredient Elixir made by Shen Qiu."
Speaking of Shen Qiu... Su Yang remembered something.
"Right, has Shen Qiu sent any news?"
Shen Qiu, being the only one in the team proficient in medicine, was asked by Su Yang to accompany Chu Tianye and take Shi Wuzun away when they parted ways on the resort island.
This was to prevent any unforeseen accidents during Shi Wuzun's journey.
Su Yang was quite concerned about this.
"He sent messages last night and this morning. Shen Qiu said that Lord Shi Wuzun has already woken up."
"Oh? Is that so?" Su Yang was pleasantly surprised.
Jiang Hei handed Su Yang the message from Shen Qiu.
Su Yang read Shen Qiu's message and felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
"Brother Shi... you're finally better..."
During this period, Su Yang had been extremely troubled by Shi Wuzun's condition.
Shen Qiu's message stated that the poison in Shi Wuzun's body had been completely expelled, but he still had internal and external injuries. He had woken up, but only for a brief moment.
Shi Wuzun needed intensive rest.
Due to Su Yang's plan, Shangguan Zhongtang's forces were not looking for Chu Tianye and Shen Qiu, so Shen Qiu and his group were very safe.
They no longer had to hide.
Therefore, Shen Qiu requested instructions from Su Yang, asking them to temporarily refrain from any action until Shi Wuzun recovered a bit more.
Su Yang immediately agreed and had Jiang Hei send the reply.
It was good enough that they weren't being pursued at the moment. There was no need to keep hiding. After all, Shi Wuzun traveling around would also consume his energy. It was better to recover slowly than to constantly exert himself.
After transmitting the instructions, Su Yang felt relieved.
Su Yang had also sent Liu Shishi and the other woman with Shen Qiu. The reason was that these two had no combat ability whatsoever. Su Yang was going to Sang Country, which was very dangerous, and he didn't want anything to happen to these two women.
Currently, everyone on the Yangwei was someone with combat ability.
Even Su Yang's adopted daughter was with Shen Qiu and the others.
Su Yang was using his own safety to protect Shi Wuzun and the others, and he had no regrets.
Because Shi Wuzun had helped Su Yang a lot before, Su Yang truly regarded Shi Wuzun as his master. He didn't know about others, but once a master, always a father. Su Yang had to protect Shi Wuzun well.
And those who followed him.
Su Yang would never betray others easily.
Su Yang was steadily advancing towards Sang Country. On the other side of the sea, Li Yue was also heading towards Sang Country.
This time, the higher-ups were taking this matter very seriously.
The talents from over twenty years ago were more precious than those of today. The Supreme Commander also knew the situation back then clearly, which was why he was so concerned about Xie Feng now.
Li Yue stood on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, and recalled the documents she had seen last night.
The documents indicated that Xie Feng was likely currently within an assassination organization in Sang Country.
The Assassin's Hall.
It was also the assassination organization that Shangguan Zhongtang had been cooperating with all along.
Among the more than a dozen people assassinated by Shangguan Zhongtang, Xie Feng was the only one whose body was never found, as if he had vanished into thin air.
This led to the suspicion that Xie Feng might not have died.
Instead, he might have been taken back to Sang Country by the Assassin's Hall and utilized by Sang Country.
Or perhaps, not utilized by Sang Country, but by the Assassin's Hall.
Li Yue had also investigated some information about the Assassin's Hall. The Assassin's Hall was relatively backward over twenty years ago.
It was an assassination organization on the verge of collapse.
It wasn't until a new hall master took over and received this mission from Shangguan Zhongtang that the Assassin's Hall began to flourish.
Therefore, it was reasonable to suspect that the current Assassin's Hall might have received help from Xie Feng.
However, if it had indeed received Xie Feng's help and Xie Feng was still alive, they would not blame Xie Feng at all.
In the face of life and death, one must choose life.
Therefore, helping an enemy country out of necessity was not a crime.
Moreover, Xie Feng was completely coerced.
Now, they just hoped that Xie Feng was still alive.
As for Shangguan Zhongtang...
Capturing him was also a mission, but Li Yue would not prioritize capturing Shangguan Zhongtang for now. Her primary mission in Sang Country was to find Xie Feng.
She had also brought a lot of power to Sang Country, but this power could not accompany her to Sang Country for the time being.
She had to find Xie Feng first and then conduct these activities covertly. Otherwise, it would attract the attention of the Sang Country's higher-ups.
The relationship between Dragon Country and Sang Country was not good to begin with. If the people of Sang Country discovered that Dragon Country had brought so much power, some conflict between the two countries would be inevitable.
She could only use the forces she brought when confronting Shangguan Zhongtang or members of the Assassin's Hall.
This was a certainty. The key was whether Li Yue could find Xie Feng in the Assassin's Hall.
Standing on the deck, Li Yue thought a lot. Then, she decided to dispatch a small portion of her forces to temporarily monitor Shangguan Zhongtang. He must be apprehended in Sang Country so that he could be punished upon returning to Dragon Country.
Although Shangguan Zhongtang's crimes were already a foregone conclusion.
That evening, Shangguan Zhongtang landed on the western coastline of Sang Country.
Sakada Oki, along with all the forces of the Assassin's Hall, waited on the coastline to welcome Shangguan Zhongtang.
Due to special circumstances, Sakada Oki had cleared all extraneous personnel from the coastline before Shangguan Zhongtang's arrival.
At this moment, besides Sakada Oki's men, there was no one else on the coastline.
These two "partners" who had cooperated for over twenty years finally met today.
"Commander, I've long admired you."
Sakada Oki had collaborated with Dragon Country extensively, so he spoke the Dragon Country language very well.
"Your Dragon Country language is quite good." Seeing Sakada Oki, Shangguan Zhongtang recalled the events of the early morning and did not want to give Sakada Oki a good impression.
However, he needed Sakada Oki's help, and he was on Sakada Oki's territory, so he had no other choice.
Sakada Oki gestured for Shangguan Zhongtang to walk forward, smiling as he said, "Commander, you flatter me. Because I've cooperated with Dragon Country a lot, I taught myself the Dragon Country language.
And I'm personally quite interested in Dragon Country's traditional culture. But before you, it's like showing off one's meager skills."
"You even use idioms, so it's not like showing off meager skills."
Hearing Shangguan Zhongtang's words, Sakada Oki waved his hand, "It's just a small matter, a small matter."
Shangguan Zhongtang let out a soft chuckle. Sakada Oki's accent was not noticeable, but his use of idioms was not particularly perfect. In front of Shangguan Zhongtang, it was inevitably a bit amusing.
Tang Shanhe and the others behind him were only allowed to disembark, with the rest remaining on the ship. Tang Ye also wanted to disembark, but Shangguan Zhongtang stopped him with a look.
Therefore, only Tang Shanhe knew that Shangguan Zhongtang had such close contact with a Sang Country person.
However, even though only Tang Shanhe disembarked, the others on the ship saw the Sang Country people below.
They had some inkling of what was going on.
But Shangguan Zhongtang had already decided last night that none of these people who followed him would return to Dragon Country alive.
Regardless of whether they knew Shangguan Zhongtang's secrets, as long as they came to Sang Country, they could not go back.
What if they guessed something... Shangguan Zhongtang was not afraid of death.
A large area along the coastline had been cordoned off by Sakada Oki.
"Commander, you can rest here for now. I've booked this area. If you need anything, just ask."
"I'm not here for a vacation," Shangguan Zhongtang said faintly as he sat down in the main seat inside the house, looking at Sakada Oki.
"Of course, I know you're not here for a vacation. You're here for revenge. But Su Yang hasn't arrived yet, has he? My men are all over the coastline. As soon as there's any news, they'll notify me. Don't worry.
Even if you're here for revenge, you have to confront someone first, right?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Zhongtang pursed his lips and extended his hand to the side.
Mo Yu handed Shangguan Zhongtang his phone.
Shangguan Zhongtang tapped on his phone a few times and dialed a number.
On another coastline in Sang Country, Su Yang was preparing to surface the Yangwei from underwater.
Before he could issue the command, he received a call.
"Boss, there's a call from Kyoto within Sang Country. I think it might be Shangguan Zhongtang calling."
