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

Chapter 81 Is he a Celestial Card Maker? (Two chapters combined)

Everyone has just been rescued. Although the mysterious Card Masters and the magical beasts outside have disappeared, who knows what dangers might come next?

This place is not safe to stay for long. Those who are able to move around helped the injured boys and girls out, and everyone walked out of the valley together.

As for those who were already dead, there was nothing they could do; they could only leave their corpses in the underground palace.

Qi Bo's purpose was to treat the wounded. The wounded were carried out of the underground palace, and he naturally followed along with everyone else.

Fortunately, Qi Bo was there when they escaped from Yulin Valley.

With him there, as long as these wounded soldiers still had a breath left, he could keep them alive.

As a result, everyone gained a new understanding of Qi Bo's medical skills.

They were really curious about who possessed such a card.

He didn't show himself even when the cards were right under their noses, nor was he afraid they would take them away.

When the group of young men and women walked out of the valley together, Xie Yuwei and Tie Shanhe and the others had already reunited.

They returned to the teahouse, but because everyone was disguised, even the teahouse owner couldn't recognize them as the same children and guards from before.

Seeing that they only consisted of Tie Sanhe, Sun Shize and his sister, and their guard captain, Xie Yuwei asked curiously, "Where are the prefect's spirit masters?"

Tie Shanhe said, "They are still lingering on the outskirts of the valley. Judging from their intentions, they are waiting for you to come out."

Unwilling to risk going in, yet wanting to know what was inside the valley, they could only wait on the outskirts.

Xie Yuwei disapproved of their actions.

She looked at Sun Shize and said, "The students in the valley have all been rescued. They should be able to reunite with the prefect's card spirit masters."

Once they meet, the boys and girls should be safe.

Sun Shize didn't know how Xie Yuwei had managed to rescue those people.

Judging from her tone, she doesn't seem to intend to claim credit for this achievement.

Sun Shize was very curious about Xie Yuwei, who had just given up such a great achievement.

"I thank you on their behalf!" That was all Sun Shize could say to her.

Xie Yuwei shrugged indifferently; she didn't care about those people's gratitude.

She asked the tea stall owner for a pot of tea, intending to finish it and then leave.

Tie Shanhe remained silent for a while before saying, "When we came out of Yulin Valley, I saw that the prefect's Kaling Masters were suspicious of General Ming."

Xie Yuwei looked at him, puzzled.

Sun Shize also heard these words.

He explained to Xie Yuwei, "Didn't you say that those people in the underground palace were extracting other people's Qi Sea for their own use?"

“Those people thought that General Ming’s Qi Sea was damaged, and it was said that General Ming was also recuperating in Tiansheng City, so they guessed that it was General Ming who did it.”

Xie Yuwei and Tie Shanhe were absolutely certain that Ming Zihui was behind it.

Ming Zihui's Qi Sea has been fully healed, and he doesn't need anyone else's Qi Sea to repair him.

Moreover, given Ming Zihui's character, he would never do such a thing.

These prefectural officials' spirit mediums really know how to smear others.

Whenever Xie Yuwei thought about it, she felt sorry for Ming Zihui.

At this moment, Xie Yuwei really wanted to tell Ming Zihui about this situation.

Unfortunately, Ming Zihui is still in Nanwen Village.

Even if they communicated, they wouldn't receive letters immediately.

Xie Yuwei had a flash of inspiration; she thought of the communication talismans used in the cultivation world.

Since there are legendary sound transmission talismans, she should be able to make one, right?
After settling down, Xie Yuwei plans to try crafting such cards.

Now, even if they wanted to stand up for Ming Zihui, they could only suppress their feelings.

They drank a pot of tea at the teahouse and then began to chase after their carriage.

Outside Yulin Valley:

Yu Lin did not rush to leave. Although he did not think that Xie Yuwei could rescue the people in the valley, he stayed here so that he could receive information from inside as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether Xie Yuwei is alive or dead, he needs to know how things will turn out.

Yu Lin only stayed outside the valley for a day before he heard noises coming from inside.

Just as he thought it was a mid-level magical beast emerging from the valley, he heard the voices of the boys discussing:

"The spring equinox is approaching, and the college's admissions date is also fast approaching. I've been held here for so many days, and I don't know if I'll be able to make it back in time."

"What's the rush? There are still three days until the end of the school year. This should be the outskirts of Tiansheng City. We'll definitely make it back in time."

Yu Lin was puzzled. Why were there students' voices here?
As he led the prefect's spiritual masters forward, he saw dozens of students helping each other out of the valley.

Seeing this group of teenagers, he couldn't believe they were students imprisoned in the underground palace.

Did they really get rescued by that boy?
How can this be?

How did he do it?
Yu Lin tried to convince himself not to believe it, but seeing the state of these teenagers, he had to accept the facts.

At this moment, he regretted leaving.

If he had insisted on going in with the boy to rescue the people, wouldn't he have learned the whole story?

Seeing so many people emerge alive, he must have obtained a lot of intelligence.

At this moment, the boys who came out of the valley also spotted Yu Lin.

As everyone became wary, many people in the crowd recognized Yu Lin's identity.

"Are you the prefect's high-ranking card spirit master?"

"It's Lord Yu! I've seen him before!"

The boys were overjoyed to learn that Yu Lin was the prefect's man; they were finally safe.

Without Yu Lin needing to interrogate them, they began to chatter about what happened in the underground palace.

Yu Lin scrutinized them while listening to their complaints and grievances.

Upon seeing Qi Bo in the crowd and sensing the aura of cards emanating from him, he immediately pointed at Qi Bo and asked, "Who is he?"

The boys fell silent immediately upon hearing this.

They didn't know who he was, only that his medical skills were superb.

Li Xuanze stepped out from the crowd and said to Yu Lin, "The person who saved us didn't show up; they only left this card."

When Yu Lin saw Li Xuanze, his heart skipped a beat. He asked in alarm, "Young Prince, what are you doing here?"

The young prince came for General Ming. Ever since he learned that General Ming was recuperating in Tiansheng City, he has stayed at the prefect's residence and has not returned to the capital.

He never expected that the young prince would also be kidnapped and brought here.

If the young prince were to get into trouble in Tiansheng City, the prefect and his group of card spirit masters would not have an easy time either. At this moment, he was extremely grateful that the young man from before had insisted on rescuing these people.

Those around them heard Yu Lin's words and looked at Li Xuanze in surprise.

Is he a prince?

The thought that he, a prince, had been captured and brought here just like them made them feel a little better.

No wonder they've been so lucky!
Just as his Qi Sea was being drained, someone came to their rescue.

I wonder if they benefited from his influence.

Was his savior, lurking in the shadows, here to rescue him?

Li Xuanze was unaware of everyone's thoughts, nor did he know Yu Lin's fear and trembling. He touched his chest with relief: "I was captured by those mysterious people and taken to the underground palace. They wanted to extract my Qi Sea."

"Fortunately, someone saved me at the critical moment! Otherwise, my Qi Sea would have been drained."

That person acted just in time!

Upon hearing Li Xuanze's words, Yu Lin instantly recalled what the young man had told him: if he didn't intervene, the young man on the altar would have his Qi Sea drained.

Could that person be the young prince?
Yu Lin felt an indescribable sense of relief.

Fortunately, the young man intervened; otherwise, he and the entire prefecture would have faced the Emperor's wrath.

Yu Lin inquired about what happened in the underground palace from Li Xuanze. When he learned that they had not seen who had saved them, his expression changed in a complex way.

Only then did he realize the boy's mystery and power.

He was able to silently eliminate more than a thousand mid-level magical beasts in the valley and scare away those mysterious card spirit masters. Just how strong is he?

Is he a Saint-level Card Spirit Master?

Such a young Saint-level Card Spirit Master appeared in their Tiansheng City, yet he missed it.

Yu Lin was extremely frustrated at missing this opportunity.

If he had known, he should have gone with that boy.

Furthermore, he was deeply shocked to see Qi Bo bustling about among the crowd.

Advanced Humanoid Card!
Only a Marquis in the Card Hall would have cards like these!

Oh, right, the human-shaped card, Lord Marquis?
Could this young man be related to the Marquis?
Could he be that mysterious celestial card maker?
Everyone thought the mysterious card maker was a woman. Could it be that he was actually a boy?

Yu Lin felt that his guess was close to the truth. He suppressed his excitement and planned to report to the prefect when he returned.

Thinking that the young man might be the Celestial Card Maker, he couldn't stay still any longer. He said to Li Xuanze, "I suspect that the person who saved you is the legendary Celestial Card Maker."

what?
Everyone stared at Yu Lin in surprise.

He wasn't wrong, was he?
They were saved by the legendary celestial card maker?
They get excited just thinking about this possibility. What should we do?
Qi Bo, hidden among the crowd, raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing Yu Lin's words.

Although I don't know how he guessed correctly, he actually guessed right.

Li Xuanze noticed Qi Bo's expression. He was also surprised that the person who saved them was the legendary Heavenly Maiden Card Maker.

He didn't press Yu Lin about how he knew their savior was the legendary celestial card maker; what he wanted to know now was: "Can you find him?"

If he could find this celestial card maker, he could not only repay her life-saving grace, but also introduce her to the imperial court.

Yu Lin did not know where the boy had taken his younger siblings, but he knew where Tieshanhe was.

Since they are together, they must know each other's identities.

Once Yu Lin considered this possibility, he couldn't stay still for a moment longer.

He said to Li Xuanze, "Your Highness, they said they know Sun Shize from Fengyun Academy. It was Sun Shize who asked them to find Zhu Yunfei's whereabouts, which is how they found Yulin Valley."

Among the surviving teenagers, Zhu Yunfei heard Yu Lin's words and said in bewilderment, "I don't know Sun Shize!"

Neither his classmates nor his friends had Sun Shize by his side.

Zhu Yunfei never expected that he was just an ordinary student from the inner sect and didn't know Sun Shize, but Sun Shize, an older student from the outer sect, knew him.

Actually, they didn't really know each other. Sun Shize had only seen Zhu Yunfei from afar and knew that there was such a person in the academy.

As for his previous statement, that was merely a stopgap measure by Sun Shize.

At the time, he only wanted to obtain Zhu Yunfei's items from the prefect's warriors so that Xie Yuwei could find their whereabouts.

Yu Lin and Li Xuanze both frowned upon hearing this.

The identity of the Celestial Card Maker has become increasingly mysterious.

Yu Lin said anxiously, "Your Highness, that mysterious young man has companions. We just parted ways here yesterday."

"If we chase after them now, we might still be able to catch up!"

Li Xuanze looked hesitantly at the injured boys and girls.

Yu Lin knew he was worried about these people, so he said to Li Xuanze, "Let's go catch up with those people first. I'll leave all the Card Spirit Masters here to escort them back to Tiansheng City."

Apart from him, the other nine members of his team were all intermediate-level Card Spirit Masters.

In addition, these teenagers are all novice Card Spirit Masters.

With so many people, it was more than enough to escort more than thirty injured people.

The presence of him and Li Xuanze in the team is not a big deal, but their absence is also significant.

After a moment of silence, Li Xuanze accepted Yu Lin's suggestion.

Everyone knew they were going to track down the whereabouts of the Celestial Card Maker, and everyone agreed that they should leave the group.

They also wanted to thank the legendary celestial card maker in person.

Yu Lin explained some precautions to Li Xuanze and assigned them tasks before leaving the team to track down Tie Shanhe.

When the two arrived at the teahouse, they asked the owner and learned that the mysterious boy had already reunited with their companions.

"They're gone? Do you know which direction they went?" Yu Lin asked the tea stall owner.

Seeing his agitation, the tea stall owner didn't hide anything: "Where else could they be going? To Tiansheng City!"

Yu Lin and Li Xuanze exchanged a glance, surprised that the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker lived in Tiansheng City.

The two rushed towards Tiansheng City as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, even after chasing them to the city gate, they couldn't find the group of people.

They stood at the city gate of Tiansheng City and asked the soldiers guarding the city: "Have you seen two young men and a boy leading three children into the city?"

Yu Lin was worried that the soldiers guarding the city wouldn't be able to identify the people they were looking for, so he described in detail the appearance and characteristics of Yu Wei and the others.

A dashing young man in his early twenties. (Tie Shanhe)
A young man of average appearance. (Sun Shize's bodyguard)
An eighteen-year-old boy. (Jie Yuwei)
A sixteen-year-old young master. (Jie Yuchen)
A shy twelve-year-old boy. (Sun Shize)
A vibrant ten-year-old girl. (Sun Xiaoxiao)
A shy, silent six-year-old girl. (Jie Yufei)
After hearing his description, the soldiers guarding the city all shook their heads and said they had never seen these people before.

Little did they know, a team was approaching from behind.

A group of dozens of people, including a dozen or so armed guards from Tieshanhe and yamen runners from Shuangbai Town, escorted Xie Yuwei, Xie Yuchen, Xie Yufei, Sun Shize, and Sun Xiaoxiao into the city.

I had no internet today, and after a lot of searching, I finally found a place to upload it. I combined the two chapters and uploaded them together.
