The negotiations with the minor world have completely broken down.
As Qin Yexuan and Wang Jiaqian returned to school, the soap bubble at the warehouse location was gradually disappearing.
No one dared to ask about the details of this negotiation and transaction.
Only Qin Yexuan knew what Ayu wanted, but he couldn't give it!
Jun Mengyao sighed, "Sacrifices are inevitable; we can only do our best."
Li Tianxing clenched his Purple Lightning Longsword and laughed loudly, "The sons of the Northern Territory have long been ready. Even if we all fall in this city, we will fight with our last drop of blood."
Li Tianxing had already made up his mind.
His mission this time was to defend Lingmeng Mountain.
Now that the demons had appeared in Lingmeng Mountain, as a renowned general of the Northern Territory, his mission was reduced to one: to save the innocent citizens of Great Xia.
Jun Mengyao, fully aware of the current situation, bit her lip, "Senior Brother, why don't we ask the Master to talk to that Ayu again?"
The soap bubble plan was undoubtedly the most perfect solution, allowing them to evacuate without any losses.
Li Tianxing immediately shook his head, "Ayao, the Master never compromises. Negotiating with that Ayu even once was already a rare concession from him!"
"Whatever decision the Master makes, we must execute it without question."
At this moment, Qin Yexuan was in his office, tidying up the back room and settling Wang Jiaqian's two "sisters" there.
Ling Su's Divine Doctor Hall had delivered various hormonal medications, neatly filling half the room.
Gently closing the door, the Lotus Girl emerged from the small study opposite the student union office.
She looked at Qin Yexuan, seeming to hesitate to speak.
Qin Yexuan sat down and smiled, "What, are you not used to living here?"
Lotus sighed, "It's nothing. I feel like Chairman Qin has locked me up. Can't I even go out to see Xueqing?"
Qin Yexuan patted the soft cushion beside him, "Come here, I'll help you regulate your injuries."
How could Fo Lian still have any injuries?
She had been under de facto house arrest for some time, unable to see Su Xueqing, and a stone monster was constantly guarding outside the door.
But Fo Lian couldn't understand, was Qin Yexuan suspicious of her, or was this truly just a protective measure?
Reluctantly walking over, Fo Lian was still calculating her options when Qin Yexuan's hand had already pressed down on her shoulder.
Instantly, an icy cold current spread throughout her body, followed by an electric shock-like pain.
Fo Lian let out a muffled groan, biting her lip until it bled.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be allergic to Buddhist spiritual energy!" Qin Yexuan shook his head. "It seems my Vajra Demon Subduing Qi isn't quite suitable for your 'injuries'."
Fo Lian forcibly swallowed a mouthful of dark blood, her heart a mixture of shock and anger.
Had her plan been exposed?
Just as she was about to get up, Qin Yexuan withdrew his hand and called out, "Let Xueqing come over and take Lotus out for a walk."
He then smiled at Fo Lian, "Chaoge is becoming more chaotic by the day. Do you have any friends still in the city? I can arrange for people to bring them in. The safest place now is the academy."
The door had already opened, and the stone monster's aura had disappeared.
This was a complete lifting of the restrictions on Fo Lian.
Fo Lian almost choked on her breath, her suspicion deepening: "I haven't been exposed? He seems to trust me a lot?"
Su Xueqing rushed in joyfully, hugging the older sister she had once relied on, talking incessantly.
Fo Lian distractedly responded. After a walk outside and returning, she was surprised to see Qin Yexuan's confidants filling the office.
Qin Yexuan, without any pretense of secrecy, convened a secret meeting in his office.
The failure of the negotiations with the minor world and the next steps for evacuation were all discussed in front of Fo Lian.
No one present had any solutions.
Qin Yexuan suddenly looked at Fo Lian, "Lotus, this is a time when we need all hands on deck. You are also a part of the academy. Do you have any thoughts on the evacuation?"
Fo Lian's eyes trembled.
Her mind was in disarray.
Was this a test? Or a genuine inquiry?
At this moment, the best answer would be "I don't know."
But if Fo Lian wanted to gain Qin Yexuan's further trust, she had to seize every opportunity to demonstrate her value.
So she picked up the initial evacuation plan and looked at it carefully.
Everyone else frowned, waiting.
Except for a few, most people present didn't understand why Chairman Qin valued Lotus so highly.
She was just a pitiful girl who had been rescued.
After a long while, Fo Lian suddenly said, "This plan is too passive. Even with the so-called soap bubble passage, millions of people would need to cooperate perfectly for it to succeed. I think once chaos erupts, people won't be so obedient. In short, the plan is too idealistic."
Li Tianxing snorted, "Does Miss Lotus have any brilliant ideas?"
Fo Lian pursed her lips and smiled, "Why be so passive? Can't we be proactive? Isn't Zhu Xiaotian the big villain in Chaoge now? Let's organize an assassination squad and head straight for Zhu Xiaotian's lair, forcing him to recall his demon subordinates."
Fo Lian's words stunned everyone.
But she became increasingly serious, "By creating a decisive battle posture near Zhu Xiaotian's stronghold, if we can hold them there, then Commander Li can use the Northern Territory forces to evacuate people at ease."
Director Chen of Chaoge excitedly stood up, "I think it's feasible! If the war department recaptures the train station, bus station, and airport, and opens a path to the Lingmeng Mountain base, then the four directions of the city's periphery will have reinforcements!"
Everyone looked at Qin Yexuan.
Qin Yexuan gazed at Fo Lian until she became visibly uneasy, then lightly tapped the table, "We will execute this plan! Lotus, you are excellent."
The meeting concluded temporarily.
After everyone left, Qin Yexuan called out to Fo Lian, "My former secretary, An Ya, is currently overwhelmed with tasks. Why don't you take over her secretarial duties? The affairs of the academy and Chaoge are too burdensome, and I need someone to handle the overall situation."
Fo Lian couldn't believe it.
Things were developing too smoothly.
In an instant, she was so close to Qin Yexuan's most secret circle.
She feigned hesitation, lowering her head, "I'm just a slave who escaped from Dongling Temple, I have no prestige."
Qin Yexuan looked at her deeply, "No one will underestimate you. After this evacuation is completed, you will have achieved the greatest merit. Believe in yourself. Moreover, I support you."
Smiling, he patted her shoulder, "Do a good job." Qin Yexuan turned and walked out.
Watching his retreating back, Fo Lian let out a soft sigh of relief.
Her eyes held a hint of triumph.
"If it proceeds according to my evacuation plan, then after you, Qin Yexuan, leave the academy with the main force, Su Yuluo in the academy will be an unguarded lamb!"
The key to the first riddle of the blood of the near-divine – Su Yuluo can be easily captured!
Fo Lian's lips curved.
"What demons, Chaoge, victory, or defeat, none of it is important!"
"The three keys are the crucial things!"
"Ayu's minor world has already laid the groundwork. With Su Yuluo, the golden carp, obtained, only the last riddle remains."
As for Zhu Xiaotian...
That idiot was just a scapegoat from the very beginning.
