The stolen magic is a bit magical

"We came here for this very reason!" Lin Xiaosu stood up.

Blue Fairy also stood up.

Saintess Qianling smiled gently: "Is there anything else I can do to help you with?"

Lin Xiaosu was slightly taken aback.

Blue Fairy laughed: "There really is!"

"Where? What's going on?" The Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits seemed intrigued.

"The Middle East has been thrown into chaos by the temple. There are indications that several large armies they control will directly attack the border of Great Xia. Behind the temple are experts from the Li Tian clan of the Utopia Ancestral Temple. This unconventional force may need us," Lan Yao said. "If you are interested in fighting alongside us again, I will invite you!"

"Alright! I'll wait for your news!" Saintess Qianling nodded.

"So, shall we... say goodbye for today?" Lan Yao asked.

"Farewell!"

Lan Yao went first, using her senses to determine whether Lin Xiaosu should follow or not.

Lin Xiaosu followed.

The two left the Thousand Spirit Saintess's cottage and came to the lakeside outside.

Lopsided……

"I'm terrified!" Lan Yao's voice drifted into Lin Xiaosu's ears.

This statement indicates that she has begun to accept Lin Xiaosu's guess.

Because every link in the chain, every single thread, points to what Lin Xiaosu said.

Including the initial suspicions, the trap he set, and the bloodline characteristics that the Thousand Spirit Saintess just mentioned...

Lin Xiaosu did not answer; there was no need to answer.

His logical chain is basically closed; what remains is probably just confirmation.

Lan Yao said, "You really can't imagine why you would make such a guess..."

“This is a rather bizarre story!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Someone once warned me to be careful of someone with two lives after entering Luoba State. I’ve always wondered, who exactly is that person with two lives? It can only be someone who is already dead.”

Lan Yao was quite surprised: "There's such a person? Who?"

Lin Xiaosu gently shook her head: "I won't tell you about this person! This is the only secret I'm keeping from you."

If it were only the first half of the sentence, anyone would feel frustrated.

Being refused a secret in such a harsh tone is a huge embarrassment, almost equivalent to saying "I don't believe you."

However, with the suffix at the end, the overall impression changes completely.

This is the only secret I'm keeping from you.

what does this mean?
This means that keeping this secret is not due to distrust of her, but rather because there is another hidden reason.

Lan Yao naturally understood his meaning, her eyes darting around slightly: "The only secret? Does that mean I can ask you anything else directly? And you'll answer directly too?"

"Hmm..." Lin Xiaosu had only uttered one word when she immediately realized something was wrong: "Besides those scandalous affairs that can't be discussed in public!"

"Tch!" Lan Yao gave him a childish look: "I knew you couldn't handle being questioned about this... Never mind, I don't care about that. Once Chang Ye comes out of seclusion, she'll know how to deal with you! Let's get back on track..."

"Of course we need to get back on track!" Lin Xiaosu asked. "Where is he right now?"

This "he"!
There's definitely a hidden meaning behind it!
Thunder!

"Southwest Front!"

Lin Xiaosu's expression changed...

Sensing the change in his expression, Lan Yao's expression slowly changed as well...

Southwest Front!

Amidst the changing situation in the Middle East, tensions are running high on the southwestern front.

If the situation in the Middle East were to directly impact the Great Xia, there would only be one point: the southwestern border.

In the Middle East, the temple went completely mad, with a large number of ancestral temple experts leaving the border to subdue one armed force after another. Their power began to infiltrate the political arena, and the situation changed three times a day.

There are already signs that they are about to send troops directly to the Great Xia.

Based on this, the Southwest Military Region deployed heavy troops to defend the border, and the frontline command analyzed the situation day and night, conscientiously preparing for enemy decapitation strikes should the fighting break out.

Jing Lei volunteered to go to the southwest front to protect the command headquarters.

In the past, with the First King of Qianlong personally protecting them, everyone felt very safe.

However, the situation has changed today.

Jing Lei increasingly showed signs of being an internal traitor—at least in the eyes of Lin Xiaosu and Lan Yao, he had become the most dangerous potential enemy.

He's defending the headquarters?

Isn't he the most dangerous person in the headquarters?
If the enemy forces were to press on, and he were to provide support from here, and wipe out the headquarters in one fell swoop, the consequences would be truly unimaginable!

"We have to get there immediately!" Lin Xiaosu said.

Blue Demon nodded slowly: "With the information we have now, it's not enough to deploy the Red Flag! Have you come up with a strategy?"

Red flag, monitoring king.

If the Heavenly King is in trouble, the Red Flag will also be responsible for taking him down.

However, everything before us is just a vague and uncertain guess.

There is no conclusive evidence!

How to deploy the Red Flag to take down the First King?

Unless Lin Xiaosu can come up with a brilliant plan, they have no reason to take action against Jing Lei even if they get to his side.

Lin Xiaosu said, "It's like I said before! It's like a dried-up pond in the countryside. If the fish sense danger, they will jump out on their own!"

"Human instinct?" Blue Demon's eyes lit up.

"Yes! This is human nature. Human nature is always seeking advantage and avoiding harm, always making choices and weighing options..."

In the night sky, a flying car swooped down and landed in front of them.

The two entered the flying vehicle, soared into the sky, and ascended straight into the heavens.

In the southwest of the Great Xia Dynasty lies the Southern Border Province. This province borders three kingdoms: to the south is the Green-Faced Kingdom, and to the far west is Gesang.

Gesang Kingdom, a land of turmoil.

With warlordism and a constant turnover of political factions, the country was in chaos, and armed forces were springing up everywhere.

Compared to the Gesang Kingdom, Dingcheng, a border town of the Great Xia Dynasty that is adjacent to Gesang, is exceptionally peaceful and tranquil.

Although martial law has been declared in the western region and the shadow of war looms ever closer, the people can still feel the peace and tranquility of life.

In the army, Thunder King received a message from Blue Demon King: "Come here, I have something important to discuss in person!"

Below is an address: Yangu Farm.

Upon receiving this news, Thunder King frowned slightly, and then set off!
Between the Heavenly Kings, the importance of any face-to-face meeting is self-evident.

Yangu Farm.

Dingcheng North Suburbs.

Nestled against the Daliang Mountain range, the area is covered in dense forests.

The Xiaoliang River, a tributary of Nanchuan, flows slowly westward beneath our feet.

The Blue Fairy resides in a small wooden cabin at the foot of the mountain, a characteristic of the farm—a modern farm designed to meet customer needs. Want an apartment building? We have one! A seven-story building with a strong modern feel. Want to experience rural courtyard life? There are also riverside cabins. For a more elegant experience, there are also small wooden cabins nestled in the mountains.

Lan Yao does have some taste, and she chose a small wooden cabin nestled against the mountain.

The mountains behind us exude a primitive charm.

The log cabin seems to blend into the mountains.

It fully embodies the unique style of being both in the world and detached from it.

This perfectly matches the identity of the Hidden Dragon King.

The sun was setting, and the chrysanthemums on the farm swayed gently in the deepening night.

Lan Yao's light blue hair swayed gently in the wind.

Time: 8 PM!
At this time of year, it's already completely dark by 6 PM, and by 8 PM it's night.

The lights came on, creating a somewhat dim atmosphere, but in the quiet tea room, it actually created a tranquil ambiance.

A gentle knock was made on the door of the tea room.

Lan Yao got up and opened the door to the tea room.

There was a person standing outside, with an unremarkable face, just like a very ordinary middle-aged man.

He is Thunderclap!

Hidden Dragon Thunder, with an ordinary appearance like a passerby, but today, he is wearing a trench coat with the collar turned up high, hiding his ordinary face beneath it.

"coming?"

"coming!"

"Please sit down!" Lan Yao turned around.

With a soft click, Jing Lei closed the tea room door, walked to the opposite side of her, and sat down.

Lan Yao raised her hand, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Jing Lei.

Jing Lei gently raised his hand and took it: "Speak!"

Lan Yao said, "When I went to Luoba Prefecture earlier, I accidentally discovered a top-secret document. At first glance, it seemed absurd, but upon closer inspection, it was terrifying. So, I wanted to ask you to verify it."

"What information?"

"Information on the White Bone King!"

Jing Lei frowned slightly: "White Bone Heavenly King? What did the information say?"

Lan Yao said, "The information says that the White Bone Heavenly King is not actually dead."

Jing Lei's thick eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled faintly: "It's truly absurd. Can the person I killed with my own hands be resurrected?"

Blue Demon stared into his eyes: "Theoretically, the person you killed with your own hands cannot be resurrected, but are you sure that the person you killed with your own hands is really the White Bone Heavenly King? Could it be another Heavenly King?"

Jing Lei's thick eyebrows furrowed again: "Another Heavenly King? Which one?"

"Thunder King!"

"What do you mean? There's also a King of Thunder in Hydra? He's disguised as the King of Bones?"

Lan Yao picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and smiled faintly: "Of course you understand what I mean. In the battle of Luoba Prefecture that day, it wasn't Jing Lei who killed Bai Gu Tian Wang, but Bai Gu Tian Wang who killed Jing Lei. Then, Bai Gu Tian Wang disguised himself as Jing Lei and infiltrated Qianlong!"

Jing Lei laughed: "Is this what's recorded in that document?"

"Yes!"

"Do you believe?"

"I believe it about 80%!" said the Blue Demon.

"Blue Demon, are you insane, or is the person who left the information insane?"

Lan Yao slowly put down her teacup and stared at Jing Lei: "Whether he's crazy or not is actually irrelevant. What's important is to verify this matter. It's not as difficult as you might think!"

"Oh?" Jing Lei maintained his smile. "How do you investigate?"

“Starting from the bloodline of the Xipi family, the White Bone Heavenly King Du Luo Xipi has children, he still has parents. Using modern technology, we can extract their genes, and then extract your genes. If... I mean if... if the gene sequences between you are linked by a genetic chain, Thunder Heavenly King, do you think that would be irrefutable evidence?”

As he said this, Lan Yao leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with light.

The smile on Jing Lei's face suddenly vanished.

Although it appears calm on the surface, this calm is incredibly oppressive.

“I don’t understand!” Jing Lei uttered four words.

"Tell me!"

"I don't understand why you didn't tell the old man such crazy things, but instead told me in private."

"Because over the years, you have made great contributions to the Hidden Dragon. You have at least a three-digit number of high-ranking Hydra employees under your command. These achievements are real. I don't want to bring the road to its end in one fell swoop. I hope that when Hydra has reached its dead end, you can pull back from the brink and continue to be our comrade-in-arms." Blue Demon's voice was full of sincerity.

Jing Lei stared at her for a long time: "You've actually believed this information, and not just 80%!" (End of Chapter)
