those arriving now were mostly close friends and acquaintances. However, Xiao Yu didn't recognize any of his sister's husband’s relatives.As the sole representative from his family attending on behal...Chapter 666
In the Dongsheng Inn, Xiao Yu's physical body slowly opened its eyes. However, at this moment, there was a hint of gloom in Xiao Yu’s eyes. The events of tonight had dealt him quite a blow; it was the first time since he received Zhong Kui's legacy that he felt so powerless.
A few moments later, Xiao Yu’s somewhat dejected eyes gradually hardened as he thought to himself, "The next time I come to Japan will be the end of the Yasukuni Shrine."
Xiao Yu didn't know how his father was doing now, but when he saw everything that had happened there, a vague sense of unease welled up in his heart.
Anpe Kei Hai taking Zhao Lingyun away wouldn’t have let him off easily. Wuzang Iljima’s punishment was already brutal, and yet, they didn't make Zhao Lingyun talk. If they wanted Zhao Lingyun to speak, it would definitely be even more cruel. Moreover, the blood qi and煞qi on those ghosts were clearly that of battle spirits, and most of their blood belonged to Chinese people.
Furthermore, in recent years, whether through television or online reports, Xiao Yu had no good feelings towards this Yasukuni Shrine. He could be considered a radical youth back then, wishing he could burn everything down here with one fire, not to mention the reason involving his father.
The next morning, Xiao Yu carried his luggage and walked downstairs. When he reached the first floor, he saw Li Yifeng sitting at the counter by the entrance looking rather haggard.
It turned out that after leaving Xiao Yu’s room, Li Yifeng had been sitting here without daring to sleep; although Xiao Yu didn’t say he was taking him on a mission, he still needed to ensure his logistical support wasn't lacking and make no mistakes.
"Brother Xiao, what’s this"
Sitting at the counter, Li Yifeng's mind wandered slightly. He was wondering what Xiao Yu wanted to do To go so far as to mobilize him just for a few pieces of information Just when he was racking his brains without coming up with an answer, suddenly, he heard footsteps on the staircase. When he turned around and saw Xiao Yu carrying luggage walking down from upstairs, he immediately showed a puzzled expression and asked.
"Haha, Brother Li, I’m going back home…" After hearing Li Yifeng’s question, Xiao Yu smiled and nodded his head.
“Oh…” Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Li Yifeng was momentarily stunned.
Although Li Yifeng's face remained calm, he felt quite puzzled inside; he really couldn't understand what the purpose of Xiao Yu coming here had been.
Was it just to check on his work Could that be possible After all, they had been operating from this point for twenty years with single-line communication. Even if he wanted to come and take a look around, would the country give him permission
The answer was obvious: no. Despite Xiao Yu's deep background, the nation wouldn't make such a decision lightly. Li Yifeng was very sure of this point but couldn’t figure out why Xiao Yu decided to return home after just looking at some documents.
No matter how puzzled he felt inside, he didn’t voice his questions and maintained an untroubled appearance on the surface, merely nodding as he helped Xiao Yu settle the bill. He watched Xiao Yu leave the store slowly.
As Xiao Yu moved further away, Li Yifeng showed no difference in demeanor; whether he could return or not still depended on higher-up instructions. If there was any danger of his mission being exposed, he would be allowed to go back at once, but since nothing happened yet, he needed approval first.
"Mr. Xiao, the chief asked me to pick you up!" The moment Xiao Yu stepped out of the airport, a burly man in his thirties walked over and told him.
“Hmm!” Glancing at this person who was clearly from Li Suijun’s side, Xiao Yu nodded in response and followed him toward a black sedan.
"Xiao Yu, how is the investigation going"
In the dining hall, Li Suijun sat on the earthen bed as he asked Xiao Yu.
Li Suijun was also secretly puzzled. This time, Xiao Yu’s trip to Japan only took two days. Although he believed in Xiao Yu's capabilities, this speed was still unbelievable; hence, a slight premonition of something going wrong weighed on Li Suijun’s heart.
The last time Li Suijun had been amazed by Xiao Yu’s strength, but considering Xiao Yu’s usual conduct, it made sense. For someone so young to achieve such fame was already extraordinary.
While the fact that Xiao Yu claimed he killed Musashi Ichiro seemed incredible at first glance, after Xiao Yu returned home last time, Li Suijun had mobilized American agents for a thorough investigation; indeed, Xiao Yu had been in New York at that time.
Hearing Li Suijun’s question, Xiao Yu's previously composed face revealed faint traces of wry laughter. He sighed softly and said, "Grandfather Li, it was more bizarre than I anticipated!" Finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly but didn’t mention what exactly had been bizarre.
"Grandfather Li, there’s no need to send people to Yasukuni Shrine for investigation; I believe that even if an inquiry is conducted, nothing will be uncovered except for the loss of lives."
However, after a moment of contemplation, Xiao Yu spoke again.
"Oh!"
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Li Suijun frowned slightly and responded. Although he felt that Xiao Yu was exaggerating, he knew that something unpredictable must have happened to make Xiao Yu say this. However, since Xiao Yu did not mention anything specific, it left him with an uneasy feeling. He didn't believe a small shrine like the Jinggu Divine Toilet could pose any real danger.
Xiao Yu naturally noticed that Li Suijun had dismissed his concerns. After some thought, he felt compelled to speak again: "Grandpa Li, you're not someone who practices cultivation and wouldn’t know how terrifying it is there. Please don't act rashly! It will take me no more than three years at the longest, or one year at the shortest, to personally subdue that place! As for what's happening there, I don’t want to mention it. Just make sure nobody goes there; otherwise they’ll be risking their lives in vain!"
There was no way a 'small ghost domain' could be made public as it would cause panic. Such a small ghost domain might not have been noteworthy in the past, but in modern times, it is certainly significant enough to be considered a major threat. Xiao Yu had yet to discover any similar places in China; if there were, they would likely only be those large sects that had sealed their mountain gates.
However, who knew when these sects would reopen Besides, even if they did open, Xiao Yu had no intention of letting anyone else get involved.
Seeing how seriously Xiao Yu was speaking, Li Suijun thought about it for a while and then nodded. These soldiers are people too; nobody would recklessly endanger their lives just to joke around. Moreover, his instincts trusted what Xiao Yu said.
Li Suijun didn't ask about how Xiao Yu practiced cultivation or why he had such high cultivation levels because he knew that some secrets were deeply personal. Just like their big brother back in the day; nobody knew where he came from.
Initially, Xiao Yu was worried Li Suijun might have asked him these questions, but seeing as how he didn’t, he put his mind at ease completely.
After all, if Li Suijun had asked, he wouldn't know how to answer those questions anyway.
"Xiao Yu, come back again on the fifth day of the fifth month. You must return; it's very important!" When Xiao Yu was about to leave, Li Suijun said seriously.
Xiao Yu looked at Li Suijun. It was the first time he saw Li Suijun speak so solemnly with him, and thus he nodded earnestly in response.
As for what Li Suijun wanted from him on the fifth day of the fifth month, Xiao Yu did not ask. If there was something important to tell him, Li Suijun would definitely inform him without being asked; otherwise, asking wouldn’t help anyway.
Xiao Yu spent one night at home and bid farewell to his mother and sister early the next morning, setting off on a flight bound for Deep Sea.
"Eh Fourth Brother" After Xiao Yu found his seat on the plane and was about to sit down, he suddenly heard a voice filled with surprise from beside him.
"Second Brother" Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Yu paused momentarily before turning around to look.
"It’s really you, Second Brother!" When Xiao Yu turned around, he saw that the person sitting behind him was indeed his second brother Wang Chengzhi.
"Haha! Fourth Brother, I didn’t expect we’d meet here! I was actually planning to look for you after arriving in Deep Sea this time!" Wang Chengzhi burst into laughter upon seeing it really was Xiao Yu.
"Second Brother, why did you come to the capital"
After a brief chat, Xiao Yu learned that Wang Chengzhi had come to the capital to attend a medical system conference. It was at this very meeting that he heard about Xiao Yu’s name again and found out how renowned Xiao Yu had become in the medical field.
Originally, as a doctor who had just started working for one year, Wang Chengzhi did not have the qualifications to attend such meetings. However, their hospital director knew of his identity and arranged for him to be included among the attendees. Nevertheless, everyone at the meeting were professors and experts, while he was merely a young person, making him rather unimportant; in fact, apart from several other young people who had also come along with him, almost no one paid any attention to him.
However, Wang Chengzhi knew that hierarchy based on seniority was very important in the medical world, so he didn’t make a big deal out of it.
During the break between sessions, these people actually started talking about Xiao Yu. When they talked about him, many showed looks of admiration.
Wang Chengzhi, as a young person who had been ignored and looked down upon, felt somewhat indignant inside, but he knew that it was decided by medical skills, so there was nothing he could do about it. However, hearing them talk about his brother now made him excited.
Actually, their hospital’s Director Zhou had been paying attention to Wang Chengzhi all along. After all, considering his background, he feared that Wang Chengzhi might be displeased, and if so, the one who would suffer would be himself. But when he saw that Wang Chengzhi showed no signs of being pleased or displeased at all, he put his mind at ease. However, at this moment, when he turned around, he noticed a look of excitement on Wang Chengzhi's face, which made him rather curious. So Director Zhou walked over to Wang Chengzhi and said, "Doctor Wang, what’s the happy news Share it with me too!"Yu looked at the ghosts. They didn’t have any bloodstains or the qi from consuming living beings’ yang energy. If they were sensible, Xiao Yu wouldn’t mind sending them to the underworld after he fini...
