Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 394 Don't Return, Xi Yu, If You Go Back, You Won't Even Get Leftovers

We suspect…

Before the officer could finish speaking, Xie Changming waved his hand to interrupt him: "Don't make any unfounded suspicions before the matter is thoroughly investigated. That would only push our friends to the enemy's side."

Leaving aside Duan Huaige's stance for the moment, the speed of this kid's rise and the source of his magical powers and treasures are indeed issues. Xie Laodeng pondered for a moment, then said, "Show me the previous intelligence reports."

He quickly flipped through the pages and indeed found records of Duan Huaige's inexplicable success in Foundation Establishment and his inexplicable success in Core Formation.

It's now completely certain that he possesses a spatial artifact.

The military is a large and powerful organization, so naturally it would never be interested in the treasure on Duan Huai's head. But the key issue is that this secret treasure, which allows one to travel between the two worlds and even change the location of one's cultivation tribulation, seems to have a similar function to the complete version of the Jiangshan Sheji Map recorded on the Kunlun Stele.

Considering that Duan Huaige once entered the Luoyang Secret Realm and participated in the battle when Taiqing was born, it's hard not to suspect that he didn't fully reveal his secrets back then.

Could it be that... what he obtained in the secret realm was... the method to unlock and use the fragment of the "Map of Mountains and Rivers"?

Even... in order to tempt him, Taiqing also taught him his demonic soul cultivation method.

Xie Laodeng grew increasingly alarmed as he thought about it. His intuition told him that it was impossible for Duan Huaige to have betrayed the Qing and joined forces with them. Given all the circumstances, anyone in his position would have drawn the same conclusion immediately.

Duan Huaige has been turned! He's now a double agent sent back by the demoness!
Following this line of thought, it can also explain why Duan Huaige was able to escape unscathed every time he encountered a female demon... You know, there are countless cultivators on Mount Shu whose cultivation and strength are stronger than his, yet Taiqing still wiped out their entire families and stole a fragment of the map.

Xie Changming closed his eyes, his fingers tapping lightly on the windowsill. From a father's perspective, he should probably keep all this a secret, burn all the documents, and not care if Duan Huaige was a double agent or not, as long as he could be happy with his daughter.

However, from the perspective of national and global affairs, he had no choice but to report it.

I never expected this! I was just trying to keep an eye on a scumbag who wanted to harm my daughter, but it seems I've uncovered a whole spy operation! Isn't this just asking for trouble?

After a long while, Xie Changming slowly opened his eyes, a hint of helplessness in them. He turned his head and said in a deep voice, "...Let's wait a little longer. This kid is no ordinary person. I think we should all give extraordinary people an extra chance."

Xie Laodeng didn't finish his sentence. Although Duan Huaige was indeed an unparalleled prodigy, such figures often had an immeasurable impact on the world…

If the higher-ups were to find out that he could use the fragments of the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," the first thing they would probably do is have Duan Huaige open the fragments that the court had collected and discover their secrets.

Perhaps we'll even explore the deepest parts of Kunlun Ruins?
"Yes!"

The officer had no objections; after all, a soldier's duty is to obey orders. He then asked, "So, should we continue to keep an eye on him?"

Xie Laodeng hesitated for a moment, then seemed to recall the Taiqing's rampage on Longhu Mountain and the tragic destruction of the Shushan Sword Sect, and finally made up his mind:

"Keep an eye on it and report any developments to me immediately."

Duan Huaige led Xiao Xie back to the room, quickly handed the girl a bottle of water so she could rinse her mouth, and was about to say, "Cang Ling, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Xie stopped her with a finger. She spoke softly but firmly, "Brother Huai Ge, don't worry, Cang Ling will be fine. As long as you can find happiness, I will silently bless you and Sister Shuang Jiang."

Duan Huaige: ?
Who said Xie was a tease? He's so sensible! He left the Xie family deeply moved. Miss Cangling leaned against the window, seemingly gazing at her beloved's departing figure. After a long while, she withdrew her gaze, a resolute look appearing in her eyes.

While the effects of the alcohol are still on us, let's quickly discuss with Xi Yu a strategy for an early first blood battle!

Oh wait, shouldn't it be called the Leftovers Battle now?

Xie Cangling quickly dialed Little Jiang the Great Demon King's number. After a while, the call connected, and Little Jiang's cheerful voice rang out from the other end:

"Hey~ what's wrong, Cangling?"

"Xi Yu, something's wrong!" Xiao Xie said in a deep voice, "Qin Shuangjiang seems to have already gotten the first blood!"

Little Jiang the Great Demon King: ? ? ?

Xuanwu on the other side was silent for two seconds, then chuckled and said, "Cangling, Cangling, look at you, you're starting to talk nonsense. How could Xiao Duan have already been taken down by Qin Shuangjiang? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Look at Qin Shuangjiang, what kind of person is she? If she had such a big advantage as first blood, she would have already attacked head-on. How could she still be standing here so timidly?" Xiao Jiang analyzed seriously. "Secondly, look at Xiao Duan, what kind of person is he? He's a huge fan of big breasts! How could he be lusting after a flat-chested body? If he's lusting after anyone, he'll be lusting after me and Yan Qiuxi at most."

"Of course, Cangling, I wasn't targeting you specifically, it was just a friendly misunderstanding!"

Green Tea Little Cangling: "."

I think I made a mistake. I shouldn't have gone to my best friend... oh no, my dear Xiao Jiang sister. Someone like her wouldn't even get a lick of the bowl, let alone leftovers.

However, now is not a good time to change Xiao Jiang's turtle-like nature. Besides this ally, she'll find it difficult to find a new one in the short term. So Xiao Xie decisively said, "Brother Huai Ge told me personally, Xi Yu, stop being such a turtle, or you'll really only be able to lick the plate clean!"

When Little Jiang the Great Demon King saw the words on the screen, he was struck dumb, his vision blurred, and he almost fell over.

Such niche writing, yet the sheer amount of information is giving me a headache.
Putting aside the fact that my best friend called me a turtle, Cangling, tell me first, why would Xiao Duan suddenly take the initiative to talk to you about this?

You...you didn't do it too, did you?

She gritted her teeth and said, "Cangling, are you telling the truth? Did Xiao Duan really bring this up with you?"

"good!"

"When?"

"I'm not too sure about that, but it should be recently."

Xiao Jiang suddenly recalled the scene in the landscape painting where Qin Shuangjiang had walked around in front of her and Yan Qiuxi with the 100-ton truck cab, and her heart skipped a beat:
"Then why did she keep it from us?"

"I guess... maybe she didn't get her first time in a very honorable way?" Xie Cangling offered her analysis: "Or maybe something unexpected happened, making Qin Shuangjiang feel ashamed!"
