Several people thought it made sense, after all, one couldn't let Wenjie embark on his journey with his family in tow. In that case, the first person in the heavenly realm would definitely be him!
Mo Wenjie looked at the several people, "You don't have to worry about me. After this matter is resolved, I may take you all away from here and we can explore other places. The area of the thirty-six heavens is too vast, and I will definitely take you to places outside of the thirty-six heavens, so that you can see just how vast the celestial realm truly is!"
Xiao Yawen, upon hearing this, looked at Mo Wenjie with a smile and nodded, "We are definitely going to follow you in the future. We understand the principle of 'my husband sings and my wife follows.' As long as you lead us, we will have no complaints about wherever we go!"
Tuo Ba Yingying was even happier, dancing with glee. "I love traveling around the world and visiting various countries the most. I want to thoroughly experience what it's like to feel there's a heaven beyond heaven. By then, I will definitely feel very excited. In this life, having you is enough for me!"
Two blossoms bloom separately, each representing a branch. Speaking of Ye Qiuyang in the cloud capital city, he was idle all day and found it extremely boring. He strolled around the cloud capital city every day, but never met a woman who excited him. This made him very unhappy. This couldn't go on, and he couldn't wait any longer. He would have to ask Liu, the bodyguard at the city lord's mansion, about his feelings for Guo Yawen. Maybe he could help him find out if Guo Yawen had really gone on a long journey or was avoiding him on purpose. If she had truly gone on a journey, he could forgive her; but if she was hiding and unwilling to meet him, then he wouldn't be so kind to her family! Without realizing it, he arrived at the city lord's mansion.
Ye Qiuyang arrived at the office of the guard, Liu.
Guard Liu hurried forward to shake his hand, "What wind brought you, Junior Ye?"
Ye Qiuyang looked at Liu, shaking his head helplessly, "This is hard to explain, Liu."
Guard Liu immediately spoke up, "Young Master Ye, if you have anything on your mind, just tell me. Whatever I can do for you, I would do it without hesitation, even if it means sacrificing my life. Rest assured, you can just say whatever is on your mind. I have a bit of a reputation in the Cloud Capital City; everyone owes me a favor or two. So, I can help out with your matters!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuyang was moved to tears. "Liu, you are truly a generous person! If you can help me resolve this matter, I will definitely reward you!"
Upon hearing this, Liu immediately felt that the situation was not simple. A descendant of the city lord, unable to resolve a matter in the Cloud Capital City, would certainly not be a small matter. If it were a small matter, perhaps the city lord himself would have ordered it. To date, there has been no mention of the city lord using his influence on behalf of Lei Xiao, indicating that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. I shouldn't get involved in this mess; if I do, I might end up getting caught up in it too. He thought about this and began to ask, "Young Master Ye, what is troubling you so much?"
Hearing this, Ye Qiuyang's anger flared up. "You don't understand, Liu. This time I came to the Cloud Capital City for fun and met a woman who was beautiful as if she were a fairy. I followed her to her house, and after some inquiries, I found out that the beautiful woman is Xiao Yawen, a member of the Xiao family. I arranged for someone to propose marriage to her family. But they told me that Xiao Yawen already had an engagement. I said that she should break off her engagement with the man she's engaged to and get engaged to me instead. I can solve any problems that arise. If the man doesn't agree to break off the engagement, then I won't be polite with him, and they should think about it carefully; don't lose your life over a woman. But Xiao family said that Xiao Yawen has gone on a long journey and won't be back any time soon. If Xiao Yawen doesn't come back soon, I really won't wait anymore. I'm ready to go back to Xiao family to see if she has returned yet. If she really hasn't come back, then I can only regretfully leave the Cloud Capital City. If Xiao Yawen is deliberately avoiding me, then don't blame me for taking action against her family!"
Upon hearing this, Liu shook his head immediately. "Junior Ye, I can't help you with this matter. All matters must be handled by yourself. I am just a servant, dedicated to serving the city lord. I have no power to interfere in such matters. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you!"
Ye Qiuyang looked at Liu, "Is this still the Lieti who has a haughty attitude all day long? How come he suddenly became so modest? Is this related to the Xiao family? It shouldn't be possible, should it? Even if the Xiao family is considered a high-end family in the Cloud Capital City, it shouldn't be able to frighten Lieti. This Xiao family is definitely not ordinary; I must find out what secrets they have! Since Lieti is acting like this, I will take my leave now!"
Liu the guard hurried to his feet to see him off. "Young Master Ye, goodbye! I couldn't help you with this matter, but if there's anything else I can assist you with, I would never stand by idly. This time, please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuyang quickly shook his head, "Liu, you are too polite. There will be many times in the future when I will need your help. Please don't hesitate to ask. Even if you can't help this time, it's no big deal. After all, we have known each other for many years."
Liu nodded upon hearing this, "Young Master Ye's understanding of my sincerity has touched me deeply. I won't be able to help this time. Please look forward to my performance next time!"
Leaving Liu the guard's office, Ye Qiuyang thought for a moment and decided he had to go to the city lord. Otherwise, he knew nothing about the Xiao family's situation. He must have the city lord send people to investigate the Xiao family to see what they were up to. If they were really trying to avoid him, then he wouldn't be polite to them. He would gather elite warriors from Xingluo City, wipe out your Xiao family, and teach you not to mock a sleeping tiger, thinking I'm a sick cat!
Ye Qiuyang was brought to Zhang Tianshi's office by the guard. "Grandpa Zhang, please help me!" Ye Qiuyang said, "I believe the Xiao family is deceiving me. Please send people to investigate the Xiao family to see if Xiao Yawen is really out on a long journey."
Zhang Tianshi looked at Ye Qiuyang after hearing this. "You haven't gone back yet, Young Master Ye? You've been here for over a month, haven't you? How can you still be here? Isn't it already confirmed that Xiao Yawen has gone on a long journey? Why don't you believe it? Are you questioning my integrity?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuyang quickly waved his hand. "Grandpa Zhang, please don't take it the wrong way. I never doubt you. I'm just worried that the Xiao family might deceive you."
Zhang Tianshi looked at Ye Qiuyang after hearing this. "Are you thinking that I have no authority, and anyone can deceive me? Your implication is that I'm not as capable as your grandfather in managing affairs, and that everyone would deceive me while no one dares to deceive your grandfather. I understand what you're saying. Go back for now. If you want to know if Xiao Yawen has returned, you can directly ask her family. When you have the answer, come back to me, and I will settle the matter for you. Don't continue to argue with me. I'm very busy. Isn't your grandfather always very busy?"
Ye Qiuyang hurriedly shook his head. "Grandpa Zhang, I didn't mean that. I know you're very busy, but I hope you would look into my matter as well!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianshi secretly thought, "This idle young man, who bullies the common people everywhere, has come to my Cloud Capital City to cause trouble. I have already given you a great favor by not having them kill you. Now that you are still causing problems, you are truly mistaken. If it weren't for my influence with your grandfather, how do you think you would be able to act so recklessly in the Cloud Capital City? You seem to think that there is no one who can stop you here. However, you are very much mistaken. If it weren't for me holding them back, do you think you would still be alive? Moreover, if I weren't friends with your grandfather, do you think you would be able to act so freely in the Cloud Capital City? Xiao Yawen is not only Mo Wenjie's fiancée but also the niece of General Manager Qu Sub division. She is a top-level aristocrat in the Cloud Capital City. What kind of identity do you have to try to take her from her? Is there anything she can't do?" Zhang Tianshi had already been very tolerant of him and was now one step away from losing his patience. "Why can't you just choose a different death?"
Ye Qiuyang left the office of Zhang Tianshi, his heart full of discomfort. "I can't just give up like this. My grandfather must send someone over. Whether I can get Xiao Yawen or not is uncertain. After all, I have no spies in the Cloud Capital City, otherwise this matter would have been resolved long ago. Xiao Yawen would already be on my bed, and I wouldn't be enduring this torture for nearly a month with no sight of her. She's so captivating! If only she were from Xingluo City..." He was deep in thought and collided with Liu the guard unexpectedly. "I apologize to Liu the guard! I was lost in thought and didn't see you. Please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, Liu the guard shook his head immediately. "Young Master Ye, you are too polite. This is no big deal at all. Why would Young Master Ye apologize? We're all in the same boat; there's no need for such formalities!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuyang shook his head and said, "Liu, you are very generous! Your broader vision is truly impressive. I have ten million spiritual stone banknotes here. Please accept my humble gift!"
Liu the guard immediately waved his hand upon hearing this. "Young Master Ye, I cannot accept this money. If I can help with your affairs, I will certainly do so. These banknotes are unnecessary. Please take them back! I will immediately dispatch someone to inquire about it! However, let's make it clear before we go any further: If we find out anything, you shouldn't get too excited; if we don't find out anything, you shouldn't get too upset either. After all, such matters are not openly discussed."
Ye Qiuyang nodded in agreement upon hearing this. "What you said is very true, Liu. After all, it's a matter of inquiring about someone's family at their own home. Whether or not we can get any information is normal; it's not as if it's in my own home. So, whether you get results or not, these ten million spiritual stone banknotes are yours!"
