Extraordinary Demon King Soldier

Huaxia, Jiangnan.

After returning to Jiangnan, the first thing Ye Qiu did was find Cat and the others.

"Lord, you're back!!!"

Cat and the others, upon seeing Ye Qiu, immediately showed expressions of surprise and joy.

"Yes, I am back."

Ye Qiu nodded, looking at Cat and the others, and then said seriously, "I have something that I need you to do. It might be a bit dangerous."

"Lord, it's our duty to serve you. No matter if it's dangerous or not, just give us the order, we'll definitely get it done!"

Upon hearing this, Cat and the others patted their chests and spoke with a look of determination.

"I need you to investigate the exact location of the Zhuge Clan, and inform me immediately if you have any news."

Ye Qiu said seriously.

Although he knew the general location of the Zhuge Clan was in Lu Province, the exact location was unclear to him.

To bring Zhuge Yang out and figure out Phoenix's whereabouts, he must find the precise location of the Zhuge Clan and then confront them.

"The Zhuge Clan, in Lu Province?"

Cat and the others exchanged glances, somewhat surprised. Upon hearing there might be danger, they thought it was some dangerous mission. But it turned out to be just gathering information.

So, Cat and the others chuckled and confidently agreed, "Don't worry, Lord, we will definitely find out the exact location of the Zhuge Clan!!!"

Seeing Cat and the others so relaxed, Ye Qiu frowned and then solemnly reminded, "Don't underestimate it. The foundation of the Zhuge Clan is no weaker than the Blood Cross. If there is any danger, remember to protect yourselves first."

Although Ye Qiu didn't say it, if he guessed correctly, given the Zhuge Clan's cunning, once he returns there, they'll likely assume Ye Qiu will eventually confront them.

So perhaps, the Zhuge Clan is already prepared, guarding against Ye Qiu.

In such a scenario, even sending Cat and the others to investigate the exact location might cause some danger once the Zhuge Clan notices.

Cat and the others, seeing Ye Qiu's solemn expression, also became a bit nervous.

For Ye Qiu to emphasize so seriously, it seems the mission might truly be a bit dangerous.

Nonetheless, Cat and the others still agreed to it and prepared to set out immediately to Lu Province to investigate the Zhuge Clan's information.

After all, they sincerely serve Ye Qiu, even if it means risking their lives.

...

After leaving Cat, Ye Qiu returned to Bai Lan's villa.

Bai Lan seemed to still be dealing with business at the company and wasn't home, leaving the villa empty, with only Ye Qiu alone.

Returning to his room, Ye Qiu initially intended to train, to enhance his power, and break into the Divine Realm as soon as possible.

But while training, Ye Qiu couldn't help but think about Phoenix, feeling upset and downcast, unable to calm his mind to train.

"Phoenix..."

Ye Qiu sighed, gave up training, sat on the bed, and muttered, lost in thought while staring blankly at the wall.

The matter concerning Phoenix is forever a pain in Ye Qiu's heart.

Love so deep, pain so severe!!!

All the experiences with Phoenix vividly played out, as if they happened yesterday.

Including hearing about Phoenix's demise, the anger Ye Qiu felt, and the deep sense of regret and pain for not being able to save Phoenix.

Thus, even knowing Phoenix might still be alive doesn't erase Ye Qiu's scars.

Moreover, even if he finds Phoenix and sees her again, Ye Qiu doesn't know what expression he should face her with.

Ye Qiu feels he might not have the qualification, nor the face, to face Phoenix.

Just as Ye Qiu was sinking into gloom, Bai Lan returned from the company.

"Ye Qiu, you're back?"

Seeing someone at home, Bai Lan's eyes lit up and she went to the room, happily saying upon seeing Ye Qiu, "Why didn't you call me to pick you up?"

"Yes, I just got back."

Hearing Bai Lan's voice, Ye Qiu also lifted his head, smiling at Bai Lan.

To avoid worrying Bai Lan, Ye Qiu tried to hide his emotions, but Bai Lan keenly noticed Ye Qiu seemed a bit downcast and was momentarily surprised.

Bai Lan pursed her lips, sat beside Ye Qiu, held his hand, and gently asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Having his gloom spotted by Bai Lan, Ye Qiu bitterly smiled, hugged Bai Lan's shoulders, rubbed his cheek against her hair, and said sadly, "You know, Phoenix might not be dead."

"Is it that girl in the photo? She's not dead, you should be happy, right?"

Bai Lan turned to look at Ye Qiu and softly asked, a bit surprised.

In a normal situation, Bai Lan would feel jealous seeing Ye Qiu so saddened by another woman.

But Phoenix is different. Bai Lan knows how important Phoenix's presence is to Ye Qiu, always occupying a part of his heart.

And Bai Lan, being with Ye Qiu, has accepted this.

So, seeing Ye Qiu pained and saddened by Phoenix, Bai Lan feels only heartache for him.

"But, Phoenix's whereabouts are unknown now. I don't know where she is. Moreover, I don't know how to face her if I meet Phoenix."

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, shaking his head, lowering his head painfully and remorsefully, "You know, at that time, when Phoenix was in danger, she must have wanted me to save her, yet I didn't. Later, I thought Phoenix was dead, so I never tried to verify or find her. And now, Phoenix is missing, and I still don't know where she is."

"Someone like me, even if I find Phoenix, doesn't deserve to see her..."

"But it's not your fault."

Bai Lan bit her lip, comforting Ye Qiu, "You've already done so much for her; if she knew, she surely wouldn't blame you."

"Also, you've said Phoenix liked you, so even after all this time, she surely hasn't forgotten you and wants to see you, right?"

Saying this, Bai Lan also tightly hugged Ye Qiu, resting her head on his shoulder, feeling some guilt, "Go find her, find her and tell her everything in your heart."
