Chapter 611: Chapter 610 Must Have an Ace Up the Sleeve
Yang Fei slightly furrowed his brow.
To tell the truth, deep in his heart he didn’t have any recollection of his parents.
He had been an orphan since birth, raised by his second uncle and aunt, so emotionally he was far more attached to his second uncle and aunt than to his biological parents.
Still, as their son, it was necessary for him to understand something about them.
If there was another reason for the death of his parents, as their son he needed to investigate it.
All this was based on the blood relationship of parent and child, unrelated to emotion.
If he felt this way towards his parents, how much more so for this suddenly emerged grandfather and uncle?
At the moment, Duanmu Wentong suggested staying behind to tell him more about his mother; after a brief contemplation, Yang Fei nodded and said, "I’m a bit busy at the moment, could you both please stay in Bear Mountain City? Wait for me for a few days. After I’m done with my current affairs, I’ll come to find you, how about that?"
Duanmu Wentong asked, puzzled, "Is there something we can help with?"
Yang Fei glanced at him and shook his head, "No need."
Duanmu Wentong gave a wry smile and said, "I know you’re still wary of us, and since there was no previous acquaintance, it does feel a bit unfamiliar, but time will prove everything."
Yang Fei nodded, "Yes, time will explain everything."
"Alright, in that case, we will wait for you in Bear Mountain City," Duanmu Wentong said.
"Okay."
Duanmu Wugou turned to Qin Yanyang and said, "Since you’re busy, we won’t impose any further, I’ll wait for your news."
Qin Yanyang said, "Okay."
She then turned to Duanmu Han and asked, "Grandfather, will you be waiting here as well?"
Duanmu Han glanced at Duanmu Wugou and smiled, "If Senior Wugou needs my company, I’m idle anyway, so I might as well stay here for a while to accompany him and witness the bustling world outside. If not, I’ll go back to Imperial City."
Duanmu Wugou smiled and said, "If you have matters to attend to, then go back to Imperial City first. Now that we’ve established contact with them, we can discuss the rest on our own."
Duanmu Han said, "If that’s the case, I’ll take the three of you to Bear Mountain City and then return to Imperial City."
As they were speaking, Qin Yanyang’s phone rang.
She glanced at the number, answered the call in front of everyone, and asked, "What is it?"
"Commander, there’s news on the Fusang Divine Wood," came Mo Yinpeng’s excited voice from the phone.
Qin Yanyang’s eyes brightened as she asked, "Where?"
"The Zhuge family," Mo Yinpeng said.
"Okay, got it."
As soon as she hung up the phone, Qin Yanyang saw Duanmu Wugou looking over and asking, "Are you searching for the Fusang Divine Wood?"
Qin Yanyang asked curiously, "Senior, are you familiar with the Fusang Divine Wood?"
Duanmu Wugou nodded: "It’s said that the Fusang Divine Wood can connect heaven and earth, a very important material for formations, and the Zhuge family, proficient in talismans and formations, has hoarded most of such materials from the Hidden Sect."
Yang Fei couldn’t help asking, "What’s your relationship with the Zhuge family? Can you acquire the Fusang Divine Wood?"
Duanmu Wugou looked at Yang Fei, "Is the Fusang Divine Wood very important to you?"
Yang Fei nodded, "It’s not irreplaceable, but it would certainly be good to have it."
Qin Yanyang directly asked, "Does the Zhuge family count among the allies for cooperation you mentioned earlier?"
Duanmu Wugou shook his head, "No. The grudge between the Zhuge family and Yang Fei is irreconcilable. Zhang Yunlong is the genius they cultivated, and even the Zhang Family was propped up by them. Yet, you toppled the Zhang Family, and even the deaths of Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Hong were blamed on Yang Fei by the Zhuge family."
Yang Fei sneered, "They originally came out wanting to kill me but indeed got counter-killed by me."
Duanmu Wugou smiled faintly, "They’ve been missing for so long, everyone can guess that they died by your hand."
Yang Fei replied, "Since it’s a mortal feud, then I’ll make a trip to the Zhuge family and take that Fusang Divine Wood."
A glint flashed in Duanmu Wugou’s eyes, and he said, "You need the Fusang Divine Wood, and that’s not difficult. To show my sincerity, I’ll make a trip back and definitely bring you the Fusang Divine Wood."
Yang Fei looked at him doubtfully, "The Zhuge family will give it up?"
"I have my ways," Duanmu Wugou said.
Yang Fei smiled, "Good, I’ll wait for your good news."
Duanmu Wugou smiled faintly and turned to Qin Yanyang, "Then we’ll take our leave first."
After their car departed, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang walked back hand in hand.
Yang Fei asked, "Do you really plan to collaborate with them?"
Qin Yanyang nodded, "It’s inevitable. We don’t have the power to completely seal off the Hidden Sect, so the strong ones inside will come out sooner or later.
Besides, even if we had the ability, we couldn’t prevent their exit. Otherwise, if the Hidden Sect Plane collapses, it would be millions of people dying, which is too cruel. No one could bear such a sin."
Yang Fei chuckled, "When you came to fetch me last time, you were ready for a do-or-die situation, constantly saying you’d throw a few nuclear bombs in there."
Qin Yanyang’s cheeks tinged with a hint of red as she huffed, "That was for your sake. If I hadn’t put on that act, how would they have let you leave? And yet, they still forced you to reveal the Taoist Cultivation Technique before they allowed us to go."
"Mhm, the person you care about most is me, I understand," Yang Fei said proudly.
Qin Yanyang snorted and continued, "So collaborating with certain forces within the Hidden Sect is inevitable. Since the Duanmu Family has certain ties with us and they have presented themselves so properly, let’s first see their sincerity. Of course, such major matters still need to be discussed with the higher-ups. If they have their own decision, I can’t agree to cooperate with them alone."
Yang Fei laughed, "I think your attitude will be decisive. Everyone listens to you."
Qin Yanyang, speechless, "You think too highly of me. In the eyes of those politicians, I’m... I’m nothing, far from it."
Yang Fei looked at her with a smile, "But in my eyes, you’re the one who can decide everything. Divine Continent is yours to command."
Qin Yanyang, still speechless, said, "Do you think I’m an immortal? Also, you must not talk nonsense like this outside. It could lead to trouble."
Yang Fei, unconcerned, replied, "What’s there to fear? In the future, there will be significant changes in both Divine Continent Country and the world’s structure. Many things will differ from now. I think with your outstanding abilities, your high reputation, and with me, your husband, fully supporting you, you will be the one to call the shots on the lands of Divine Continent."
Qin Yanyang’s heart chilled, and she stopped walking to look at Yang Fei.
Her gaze was extremely clear, yet her expression was extraordinarily serious and solemn.
"Yang Fei, do you think I’m ambitious?" Qin Yanyang asked.
Seeing her serious and solemn expression, Yang Fei was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "I don’t think so."
Qin Yanyang’s expression lightened slightly, "Although I’m in such a position and sometimes may act dominantly, I can honestly tell you that I, Qin Yanyang, have a clear conscience. I’ve never thought about personal glory. What I want is only for Divine Continent to soar and rise.
Just like I said before, I hope we can witness a Divine Continent that resembles its pinnacle during the Han and Tang dynasties."
Yang Fei met her clear eyes and nodded, "Okay, I will do my utmost to help you fulfill this wish."
Facing such a pure person, Yang Fei suddenly felt guilt for thinking about stirring up grand ambitions in her.
But deep inside, Yang Fei had not forgotten the words of Tong Yunshu.
He could trust Qin Yanyang absolutely, but he couldn’t stop guarding against others.
When some situations arise, he must have his own trump card. Only then will he feel secure.
