Chapter 248 Shadow Empire
After finishing dinner at the Cheng Family, Xiao Yun drove Cheng Hu back to the villa in the Rose Garden.
Upon opening the door, Xiao Yun was taken aback; it looked as if a thief had broken in. The refrigerator and kitchen were filled with food scattered all over the table, and fruit peels were thrown everywhere on the floor. At that moment, Red Sister was lounging with her legs crossed, holding a piece of bread in one hand and a drink in the other, chewing loudly with grease smeared around her mouth.
The most bizarre part was that she had a cigarette pinched between her fingers while holding the bread.
What the hell,
Is this woman a big eater? How can she eat so much?
Xiao Yun silently lamented; all this food was what he had bought for the Three Women as a late-night snack, and now it was all wasted on this girl.
"Uh, Brother Xiao is back! Sorry, I was hungry and started eating!" Red Sister swallowed a mouthful of bread, wiping her mouth with her hand, nearly smearing crumbs all over her face.
Her eyes then fell on Cheng Hu standing behind Xiao Yun. She casually tossed the half-eaten piece of bread aside and leaped towards him, wrapping her arms around him and laughing, "Hu Ge, did your dad let you out? How is it? Can he allow us to be together?"
Cheng Hu replied, "Brother has already spoken to Dad on our behalf and got his approval!"
"Brother Xiao, thank you so much! I represent my ancestors for eight generations in expressing my gratitude to you!" Red Sister then lunged at Xiao Yun again and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Uh, Xiao Yun felt a wave of frantic sweat as he wiped his face, his hand covered in bread crumbs.
"If you're done eating, clean up this mess and then come with me!" Xiao Yun hurriedly pushed her away and frowned.
"Sure, Brother Hu, come on, let's help clean up Brother Xiao's place!" Red Sister called out to Cheng Hu.
What is this? Clearly, it was you who made my place a mess, and now it sounds like I'm the one getting help.
Faced with such a foolish woman, Xiao Yun could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Watching Red Sister and Cheng Hu busy themselves in the room, Xiao Yun entered and pulled out the design drawings that An Yiran had given him, placing them into the Storage Ring.
Looking up, he caught sight of the portrait of Duan Qingxue hanging on the wall.
This portrait was one that Xiao Yun had painted for her during their first meeting at the Fragrant Flower Shop.
After Duan Qingxue left the flower shop, she gave the painting to Zhu Yan Hong, the new owner of the shop. Later, after she was taken away by someone from the Peerless Sect, Xiao Yun went back to the shop to reclaim the painting and hung it on the wall of his bedroom.
Seeing the painting reminded him of her, and Xiao Yun felt a surge of emotions. Sister Qingxue, why did they take you away as if you were their leader?
Where exactly is the Peerless Sect?
Once my cultivation reaches a certain level, I will definitely rescue you from the Peerless Sect.
Looking at Duan Qingxue's portrait, Xiao Yun felt a pang in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
Suddenly, Xiao Yun's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Sister Qingxue's enchanting eyes. Why do they resemble Qiu Yue's so much?
The way these two look at others is surprisingly similar.
Before Qiu Yue lost her memory, where was she from?
Thinking of Qiu Yue, he wished he could fly to Panlong Mountain to see her.
People can be quite strange. When Xiao Yun first saw Qiu Yue in the painting, he was captivated by her. He felt a peculiar sensation in his heart, as if it were destined; she was meant to be his woman.
If that were the case, then what position did Duan Qingxue hold in his heart?
This was also a point of inner conflict for Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun secretly smiled bitterly, then sat down in front of the computer and turned it on.
Last time he returned from Panlong Mountain, Xiao Yun had asked Old Village Chief for an account number. After logging online, he transferred twenty million through online banking.
After going offline, Xiao Yun thought of Qin Yun. Right, with the Dragon Team's vast resources, why not ask them to investigate the origins of Blood Curse Gate?
He then dialed her number and asked, "Sister Yun, do you have some time? I need your help with something."
On the other end, Qin Yun laughed and said, "Hehe, Xiao Yun, no need to be so polite. I'm just about to head to Beijing. What do you need?"
"Oh, do you know what Blood Curse Gate is? Could you help me look into their background?"
"Blood Curse Gate?"
Qin Yun's expression changed dramatically, her voice becoming serious. "How do you know about this sect?"
Xiao Yun sensed something unusual in her tone and replied, "Recently, there's been a rise of Azure Cloud Group in the galaxy; you must have heard of it, Sister Yun? Today I accidentally obtained a Golden Card from Blood Curse Gate that has the name Hong Qichang, the mastermind behind Azure Cloud Group, engraved on it." He then recounted the incidents involving Red Sister and Cheng Hu.
"Oh, I didn't expect this Hong to be from Blood Curse Gate. No wonder Azure Cloud Group has risen like a god."
Qin Yun paused and said, "It is said that the Blood Curse Gate has a significant connection with the Shadow Empire. As for the specific details, our Dragon Team does not fully understand it either, as the parties involved are too complex. However, the information you provided is very important. Regarding Hong Qichang, make sure not to alert anyone and observe the situation quietly!"
Shadow Empire?
What is the Shadow Empire? Even the powerful Dragon Team seems unaware of its background?
This situation is quite deep; it seems I will inevitably get dragged into it and might end up crushed.
Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel a chill run down his back.
"I understand. Sister Yun, can you tell me what the Shadow Empire is?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.
Qin Yun replied, "I can't explain everything about the Shadow Empire in just a few words. How about this: I will send you the relevant information to your computer. By the way, it's best to encrypt your computer so that no one knows what you have stored in it."
Xiao Yun said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yun sighed; it seemed that life would not be peaceful from now on.
When he came out of his bedroom, Xiao Yun found Cheng Hu and Red Sister had already cleaned the house spotless. One shouldn't underestimate Red Sister; she was quite efficient when it came to getting things done.
Clearly, Red Sister had already informed Cheng Hu about the Blood Curse Gate Card.
Thus, as soon as Xiao Yun appeared, Cheng Hu approached him with an unusually tense expression and cautiously asked, "Bro, you said that card might threaten my and Red Sister's lives? What kind of dangerous thing is it?"
Xiao Yun replied, "The situation here is complicated, and I can't explain everything to you right now. In short, you cannot stay in the Galactic District; the reason I want to send you to Panlong Mountain is to protect you!"
"Thank you, Bro!" Cheng Hu nodded anxiously.
"Remember, once you get there, you will stay in the mountains," Xiao Yun instructed again. "Without my permission, you absolutely cannot step outside of Panlong Mountain!"
Xiao Yun spoke very seriously, and the two fools listened with extra tension, their teeth chattering and their faces turning pale.
Don't be fooled by Cheng Hu's usual bravado; when faced with real danger, he immediately became timid.
"Alright, you two get in my car right away. I'll tidy up and come over soon!" Xiao Yun said.
Cheng Hu and Red Sister stepped outside, while Xiao Yun left a note on the table for An Yiran and the Three Women, explaining his trip to Panlong Mountain. As for Cheng Hu and their matters, he chose not to mention them.
Upon reaching the car, Xiao Yun turned back to see Cheng Hu and Red Sister sitting obediently in the back seat. He nodded in satisfaction; it seemed that people could change when it mattered.
Before driving off, Xiao Yun called Qiu Yue to inform her about his visit to Panlong Mountain that afternoon.
On the other end, Qiu Yue responded with immense joy, "Really? That's great! What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you!"
Xiao Yun teased, "Hehe, Autumn Moon, I just want to eat you. Will you let me?"
"Hmph, you bad guy! You want to die? I'm not going to let you!" Qiu Yue pouted playfully.
