Hoo!
Above the vast horizon, a figure swiftly swept across.
It was Qin Chen, who had left the Xuanyuan Empire.
In order to incite hatred between the Xuanyuan Empire and Piao Miao Palace, Qin Chen did not immediately return after leaving the Xuanyuan Empire. Instead, he deliberately spread rumors about the two great powers near the Xuanyuan Empire.
Those rumors about Piao Miao Palace having a large number of top-grade true veins were actually all released by him in secret to muddy the waters.
He did this to ensure that the Xuanyuan Empire and Piao Miao Palace would have no chance of reconciliation, provoking hatred between the two powers before Shangguan Xier and Feng Shaoyu had a chance to negotiate.
Now it seemed that his actions were somewhat successful.
This allowed Qin Chen to breathe a small sigh of relief.
As long as the attention of Piao Miao Palace was diverted, he would have more time to strategize and contend against Piao Miao Palace.
Ten days later.
Qin Chen finally returned to the Ji family.
"Young Master Chen!"
Seeing Qin Chen return, the great elder Ji Dewei, Ji Hongchen, and Ji Daoyuan immediately walked out with excitement.
"Are you okay?" They looked at Qin Chen nervously, feeling anxious. Ever since Qin Chen went to Piao Miao Palace, they had been extremely worried, feeling as if each day was as long as a year. A few days ago, when Shangguan Xier arrived at the Mo family, the Ji family was also summoned. Great Elder Ji Dewei didn't know how to deal with it and was about to go over.
But they received word that Shangguan Xier had quickly left, so this trip was immediately canceled.
Then they learned about the conflict between the Xuanyuan Empire and Piao Miao Palace. This made them both tense and anxious, as their lives were in Qin Chen's hands, and Ji Ruyue was also with Qin Chen. If anything happened to Qin Chen, Ji Ruyue would naturally be exposed, and the Ji family would definitely be doomed.
Whether out of personal or public interest, they always kept Qin Chen in mind, and now that they finally saw him return, how could they not be excited?
"How has it been these days while I was away?" After landing, Qin Chen entered the Ji family residence, sat down directly, and inquired. "Rest assured, Young Master Chen, our Ji family is still very safe. However, there's news from the Law Enforcement Hall, asking our Ji family to unite with the Mo family to prevent the Xuanyuan Empire from continuing to target the Mo family. We don't know how to deal with this," Ji Dewei said with a bitter smile, as the ancestral elder had died, Qin Chen was now the leader of the Ji family, and everything had to be decided by him. "Unite with the Mo family against the Xuanyuan Empire?" Qin Chen laughed, "Of course, you must participate in such actions. Remember, from now on, the Ji family's actions should follow the Ji family's previous ways, without revealing any flaws. This is most important. You must ensure nothing goes wrong and you don't expose yourselves. As for other matters, you can decide on your own."
"Thank you, Young Master Chen, for your concern." Ji Dewei and the others were deeply moved. They hadn't expected that what Qin Chen cared about most wasn't his own interests but their safety.
"Young Master Chen, how is Ruyue? Did you really rescue her from Piao Miao Palace?" Ji Hongchen stepped forward nervously, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
Qin Chen glanced at Ji Hongchen and smiled, "Would it be possible if I made a move and didn't succeed?"
With a wave of his hand, Ji Ruyue, You Qianxue, and Fu Qiankun appeared in the hall.
After a round of greetings, everyone was extremely thrilled.
Especially Ji Dewei and the others, who looked at Qin Chen incredulously, unable to believe that he had truly succeeded.
That was Piao Miao Palace, considered one of the most dangerous places on the continent. To rescue someone from there without anyone knowing was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, yet Qin Chen actually succeeded.
Incredible.
Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that Qin Chen managed to divert the disaster towards the Xuanyuan Empire without exposing himself.
