Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 386 Xiao Xiang
She recalled how much Jieyan doted on her when they were in the Southern Wilderness.

At the time, although he was a henpecked husband, he truly doted on her.

Xie Yuwei sighed. She should have had Wan Baoshi investigate their situation when Lin Zhixue returned to Lingdu City.

There are some things that she won't bring up, and Wan Baoshi won't say either.
Sensing Xie Yuwei's troubled thoughts, Wan Baoshi conveyed to her: "The person who turned him into a puppet is no ordinary person. If it doesn't actively investigate, it won't detect his abnormality at all."

Xie Yuwei's eyes sharpened!
"Could you release this puppet from its control so that Jieyan can be laid to rest?"

Wan Baoshi responded: "Once the control was lifted, the puppet's owner noticed something was wrong!"

Xie Yuwei frowned.

She still doesn't know who turned the original owner's father into a puppet, nor can she know the other party's strength.

If she alerts the other party, and they follow the clues to find her, would she be a match for them?

Xie Yuwei's hand twitched, but she ultimately decided to remain still.

She turned and left Jieyan's room, returning to the courtyard where she had previously lived to rest.

-

As night fell, a ray of dawn appeared in the sky.

When Xie Yan woke up, the life-size card in the house told him that Xie Yuwei had returned.

He was very excited when he heard the news. Before Xie Yuwei got up, he went to her courtyard to wait for her to get up.

For the past three years, Jie Yuwei has been either busy escorting warriors from the Tianlei Battlefield into the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm or refining cards and array plates in the Divine Demon Well.

These days, she has been planning her things by the day and by the hour. Now that she finally has some free time, Xie Yuwei relaxes and falls into a deep sleep.

Jieyan's arrival did not alarm her, and since Jieyan meant her no harm, Wan Baoshi did not warn her.

Xie Yuwei slept until the sun was high in the sky.

When she came out of her bedroom, she saw Jieyan enjoying tea in her courtyard.

Upon noticing the commotion, Jie Yan immediately looked towards Jie Yuwei. He was taken aback when he saw that Jie Yuwei looked about twelve or thirteen years old. Then, he walked lovingly to Jie Yuwei's side and said with red eyes, "Sister Wei, you're finally back."

Xie Yuwei seemed unaware of his identity. She looked at Xie Yan as usual and said, "Father, are you crying?"

Jieyan suppressed his excitement: "Sister Wei, your mother disappeared after entering the secret realm. I want you to send someone in to look for her."

Xie Yuwei never expected that even at this point, the puppet would still be thinking of Lin Zhixue.

Could it be that his master is the one who possessed Lin Zhixue?

"Father, Chen'er and Fei'er are also in the secret realm. They will be looking for Mother."

Jieyan was not appeased. He said urgently, "But the Lin family sent word that Chen'er and Fei'er did not go looking for your mother. They also said that your mother is from beyond the realm."

"Sister Wei, what exactly is going on? How could your mother be from outside the realm?"

Xie Yuwei asked calmly, "Father, you've always been with Mother. Don't you know whether she's from another realm or not?"

Jieyan was taken aback!
Shouldn't he know that?
“I’ve always been with her; she’s like a mother to you all!”

"Sister Wei, is there some mistake on everyone's part?"

Xie Yuwei had been watching his expression closely. Seeing him like this, she really didn't know that Lin Zhixue had changed her soul.

The person who turned him into a puppet is quite skilled!

To reassure him, Xie Yuwei nodded: "Father, don't worry! I will send someone into the secret realm to find Mother."

"As for whether Mother is from beyond this realm, we will find out when we meet her."

Jie Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Jie Yuwei's words. Having resolved his worries, he then remembered the rumors circulating outside: "Sister Wei, I heard from others that you secretly gathered 30,000 Heavenly Fiend Army soldiers, is that true?"

Xie Yuwei seemed oblivious to his probing. She calmly and naturally took out another cook card, activated it, and asked him to cook.

She nodded and said, "That's right!"

Jie Yan was somewhat excited, even a little incoherent: "I heard that the strength of this Heavenly Fiend Army is all at the god level!"

The thought of her daughter possessing an entire god-level army made Jieyan unable to remain calm: "Sister Wei, you're so busy, why don't you hand over the Heavenly Fiend Army to me!"

Xie Yuwei's calm expression turned cold.

"Father, with your strength, you are not capable of suppressing the Heavenly Fiend Army. Please don't say things like 'I'm handing the Heavenly Fiend Army over to you' again."

Xie Yuwei no longer wanted to call him "father" and instead called him "father".

A stinking rat from who-knows-where dares to covet her Heavenly Fiend Army.

If it weren't for her good self-control, she would have started swearing.

Knowing that Xie Yan was a puppet, Xie Yuwei disliked everything about him.

In order to avoid smashing him with one palm, Xie Yuwei decided to send him away.

"Father, someone from the Imperial Preceptor's residence will be looking for me soon, so I'll have to go now."

Jieyan was surprised: "Didn't people outside say that you were at odds with the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion?"

Xie Yuwei suppressed her impatience: "People outside also say that Mother is from another region. Does Father think they are right?"

Xie Yan immediately shut up, looking at Xie Yuwei with a wronged expression.

"Father, I really have something important to say!"

Jieyan said dejectedly, "Alright! Then you go ahead and get busy!"

Ever since his wife entered the Nine-Colored Spirit Spring Secret Realm, people all over the world have treated him badly. The Lin family drove him out of the Lin Mansion, and those who used to fawn over him now keep their distance from him.

He thought that once his daughter came back, he could change everything, but to his surprise, his daughter ignored him.

In this world, his wife still loves him the most.

He will definitely find a wife.

Xie Yuwei rested her chin on her hand, watching Xie Yan's departing figure. She always felt that Xie Yan himself was unaware that he was a puppet.

Like Lin Zhixue, he believed that he was the original body.

Xie Yuwei did not lie to Xie Yan; she did indeed want to see someone from the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

However, this person was neither the First Elder nor the Sixth Elder, but rather the Fourth Elder and the Seventh Elder.

She used a communication card to inform them that she had returned to Lingdu, and the two elders rushed to see her.

Xie Yuwei had the gatekeeper bring them to her courtyard, where she set up an isolation array around the courtyard to prevent Xie Yan from spying on them.

The Fourth Elder and the Seventh Elder were puzzled by Xie Yuwei's actions. Who was she trying to guard against?
After setting up an isolation array to ensure that Xie Yan could not detect what was happening in the courtyard, Xie Yuwei told the Fourth Elder and the Seventh Elder about Xie Yan's situation.

Neither of the two elders expected that Jieyan would also suffer such a terrible fate and be turned into a puppet.

To what extent have these outsiders infiltrated?
How many people in this world, like Lin Zhixue and Jieyan, are no longer the original inhabitants?

Seeing their solemn expressions, Xie Yuwei said to them, "Elders, I called you here today not to discuss Xie Yan's matter."

The two regained their composure, recalling what Xie Yuwei had said to them in the message card.

"We've brought the items. Take a look and see what you need!" The Seventh Elder handed a pile of Naka cards to Jie Yuwei.
