Chapter 433 You have to sacrifice your cub to catch the wolf.

“Thank you for your understanding, City Lord. Luoxia will certainly remember your kindness. Should Xueyue City ever be in need, Luoxia will not stand idly by.”

Yin Luoxia’s eyes grew warm, and she bowed deeply to Si Kong Changfeng.

“City Lord Si Kong shows great righteousness; Yu Xian is endlessly grateful. Should you ever require my services in the future, please do not hesitate to ask.”

Yu Xian also cupped his hands in a salute toward Si Kong Changfeng.

Upon hearing this, even Si Kong Changfeng’s brow twitched slightly.

One Yin Luoxia in exchange for a great asset to Xueyue City—it wasn’t a loss, actually!

“Fine. With Young Master Yu’s word, Xueyue City can consider itself secured for the future. It’s just that once you all leave, Xueyue City will lose some of its liveliness,” Si Kong Changfeng said, waving his hand, feigning a touch of melancholy.

“City Lord Si Kong, there’s no need for formalities. From now on, matters concerning Xueyue City are matters for Xue Luo Manor,” Yu Xian gave Si Kong Changfeng a promise.

The reason he said this was because whether it was Li Hanyi or Yin Luoxia, or even Ye Ruoyi, they certainly wouldn’t stand by if Xueyue City ran into trouble. In that case, what difference did it make if he promised? Therefore, he could afford to make such a promise.

Si Kong Changfeng was overjoyed upon hearing this. To sacrifice a child to catch a wolf!

“Then I thank Young Master Yu! In the future, Xueyue City and Xue Luo Manor shall support each other and jointly protect the peace of this region,” Si Kong Changfeng said, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Yu Xian nodded slightly, saying no more, merely taking Yin Luoxia’s hand, his expression as calm as ever.

Yin Luoxia, standing nearby, watched the interaction between the two men and felt settled in her heart, knowing that their departure this time had finally achieved Perfection.

Afterward, the two bid farewell to Si Kong Changfeng and left the City Lord’s Residence.

“I suddenly feel so light.”

Yin Luoxia suddenly said to Yu Xian beside her.

Ever since she lost the bet to Si Kong Changfeng and became an Elder of Xueyue City, everything in Xueyue City seemed deeply connected to her. Now that she had resigned her post, she suddenly felt a bit empty.

Yu Xian shook the hand he held of Yin Luoxia’s and said with a smile, “From now on, you just need to live happily. Your husband, I, will handle everything.”

Huang Rong: The matter of the Dark River, can you take care of it?

Ye Ruoyi: The affairs of Xue Luo Manor, are you managing them yourself?

“Mmm, okay, thank you, husband.”

Yin Luoxia revealed a brilliant smile. Now that she was free of responsibilities, she could romp around with her sisters without any worries!

The two hadn’t gone far before they were called back by Si Kong Changfeng, who had rushed out after them.

“What is it, City Lord Si Kong? Is there something else?” Yu Xian asked curiously.

“Xueyue City’s spies have detected several unknown forces moving in the direction of Xue Luo Manor. Their target should be Xue Luo Manor,” Si Kong Changfeng said with a grave tone.

Forces that even the Spiderweb Network doesn’t know about are likely not forces from North Li.

News of the great treasure Yu Xian possessed might have already spread to other nations. The days ahead for Xue Luo Manor were probably not going to be easy!

“Oh? Unknown forces?” Yu Xian immediately became interested. In this world combining so many things, he wondered what kind of forces would appear. He was rather looking forward to it.

“It might be forces from other nations, or perhaps… forces from overseas,” Si Kong Changfeng’s tone remained heavy.

Regardless of whether it was Li Hanyi or Yin Luoxia, they were both people of his Xueyue City. If they were in trouble, Xueyue City would not ignore it.

But facing unknown forces, he didn’t have absolute confidence. Mainly, Baili Dongjun was not in Xueyue City right now!

“Oh ho? So many? Overseas?” Yu Xian didn’t actually pay much mind, but the word ‘overseas’ caught his attention. Overseas—could that mean people from the same place as Jue Wu Shen and those Japanese devils?

When it came to this, he was wide awake!

The hatred etched into the bones of the descendants of Huaxia meant they were absolutely sharpening their knives against those Japanese devils!

Back when the little devils invaded, burning, killing, and looting, countless common people were displaced, countless families were torn apart. Those bloody and tear-stained pasts had long since turned into indelible scars in the national memory.

Now, hearing that there might be overseas forces, especially those related to such a despicable nation appearing, Yu Xian’s Battle Intent was instantly ignited.

He wanted to see what these presumptuous fellows relied on to dare cause trouble on his turf.

“Does Young Master Yu have enmity with those overseas forces?” Si Kong Changfeng clearly sensed the change in Yu Xian’s emotions.

Yu Xian didn’t answer directly, but merely moved his fingertips, and a wisp of invisible Qi silently spread out, instantly crushing several falling withered leaves nearby into fine powder.

He looked up toward the distant horizon, his gaze as sharp as a falcon’s, as if it had pierced through the clouds to see the demons and monsters lurking in the shadows.

“Enmity? More than just enmity!” he said slowly, his voice carrying a hint of a cold smile, “However, they are just a few clowns who always think they can stir up trouble if they change places. Since they dare to come, I don’t mind letting them know that some accounts must eventually be settled.”

He paused, then turned to look at Si Kong Changfeng, “Thank you, City Lord Si Kong, for informing me. I will personally entertain these people.”

Seeing Yu Xian like this, Si Kong Changfeng knew this was no simple feud, but since Yu Xian didn’t seem concerned, he didn’t need to worry either.

After Yu Xian and Yin Luoxia returned to Li Hanyi’s residence, he informed The Women about the matter.

“Let’s return to Xue Luo Manor immediately,” Ning Zhongze said with a frown.

“Husband, we’ll return to the Small World; it will be faster for you to travel alone,” Huang Rong suggested.

Upon hearing that unknown forces were heading to Xue Luo Manor, the expressions of The Women all turned solemn.

“Alright, alright, we’ll go back right now. It’s not as serious as you think; the word ‘overseas’ isn’t as terrifying as you imagine. Those so-called overseas forces are mostly just clowns who dare to run rampant relying on some unorthodox tricks,” Yu Xian found it amusing seeing The Women looking so grave, as if facing a great enemy.

Hearing they were from overseas, The Women probably all thought of Immortals from overseas or something, which is why their expressions were so heavy? This must be the limitation of this world.

“Is what Husband says true?” Li Qingluo asked curiously.

“Naturally. We’ll just act as we always do. If they come, consider it a chance for you to test your swords. Haven’t you all obtained the weapons you desired? It’s the perfect time to try them out,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

Hearing this, and seeing that Yu Xian truly looked unconcerned, The Women finally relaxed, which was immediately replaced by anticipation for the swords in their hands.

“Alright, you all pack up, then return to the Small World,” Although Yu Xian didn’t care much, he didn’t want to delay either. He still needed to return to Xue Luo Manor to take the Dragon Essence and enhance his cultivation.

“Yes!” The Women said in unison, then began packing. Their burning Battle Intent hadn’t diminished at all.

Now that they all held their desired weapons, they were likely eager to show off their skills.

Yu Xian looked at The Women, only smiling dotingly and shaking his head.
