Late night.
Capital. Ye family.
“Ah.”
Suddenly, Elder Ye let out a shriek and woke up from his sleep, sweat soaking his clothes.
“Master, what happened to you?”Shadow’s figure silently appeared beside the bed and asked.
Elder Ye sat up and said, “I just had a nightmare, I dreamt of Ye Qiu.”
“In the dream, Ye Qiu was lying in the middle of a patch of yellow sand, covered in blood, he had a fierce face and asked me to return his father to him.”
“He also said that if I didn’t return Wushuang to him, he would kill me.”
Shadow laughed, “People who interpret dreams say that dreams are the opposite of reality, this should be an auspicious dream.”
“What is Ye Qiu doing now?”Elder Ye asked.
“The Military God has sent him on a mission to the Northwest.”
Northwest?
Elder Ye couldn’t help but think of the yellow sands in his dream, his heart was vaguely uneasy as he asked, “Has the mission been completed?”
Shadow shook his head, “I don’t know.”
Elder Ye hurriedly got up and said, “I’m going to give the Military God a call to ask about the situation.”
“Master, it’s so late, the Military God is only afraid that he has already rested.”Shadow advised, “Why don’t we wait until dawn to call?”
“The Military God doesn’t sleep well and often stays up all night, so maybe he’s still working at this time.”Elder Ye grabbed the phone and dialled the landline of the Military God’s office.
It was soon connected.
“Hello, this is the Military God’s office, who are you?”A young male voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Hello, this is Ye Zhengling, I’m looking for the Military God.”Elder Ye said.
“Hello Elder Ye.”The tone of the person on the other end of the phone immediately became incredibly respectful as he said, “I’m the Military God’s machine secretary, the Military God is not in his office.”
“The Military God has gone home?”
“No.”
Elder Ye frowned slightly, “Then where did the Military God go?”
“This,” the secretary hesitated, because the Military God’s whereabouts couldn’t be divulged, this was discipline.
However, he also knew that if he didn’t say anything, Elder Ye would definitely get angry.
Moreover, it was easy for a big shot like Elder Ye to investigate the whereabouts of the Military God.
Elder Ye also guessed the secretary’s concern and said, “Don’t worry, I will greet the Military God, he won’t blame you.”
“Thank you Elder Ye for being considerate.”The secretary then said, “The Military God has gone to the Northwest.”
Eh?
Elder Ye’s eyebrows trembled in utter shock.
Because the Military God had difficulty with his legs, he was always in a wheelchair and hadn’t been out of the capital for a whole decade.
Elder Ye was busy asking, “What is the Military God doing in the Northwest?”
“Elder Ye, it’s a matter of confidentiality, forgive me for not being able to disclose it to you, if you want to know, please contact the Military God in person, by this time, the Military God should have already arrived in the Northwest.”
“Good, I know.”
Elder Ye hung up the phone, the uneasiness in his heart intensified as he said in a deep voice, “Shadow, what do you think the Military God is doing in the Northwest at this time of the year?”
Shadow said, “The Military God hasn’t been out of the capital for ten years, and at this time he suddenly went to the Northwest, I think something big has happened in the Northwest.”
“Ye Qiu and Tang Fei went to the Northwest, and the Military God also went to the Northwest, it seems that the Northwest must have encountered a shocking event. No, I need to give the Military God a call.”
Elder Ye dialled the Military God’s mobile phone and it rang for a while before the other party picked up.
“Military God, what has happened in the Northwest that requires you to travel personally?”Elder Ye asked with a smile.
“You want to ask Ye Qiu, right?”The Military God said.
“It seems that nothing can be hidden from you,” Elder Ye continued, “I want to know how Ye Qiu is doing? You sent him on a mission to the Northwest, it wasn’t dangerous, was it?”
On the other end of the phone, there was silence for three seconds.
It was only after three seconds that the heavy voice of the Military God came through, “Elder Brother Ye, I’m sorry.”
Elder Ye’s face changed violently and he asked urgently, “Did something happen to Ye Qiu?”
The Military God said, “Ye Qiu was buried under the yellow sand in order to rescue his comrades, and now his life and death are uncertain.”
Boom!
Elder Ye’s face instantly turned pale, and his hand holding the phone was trembling slightly.
The Military God continued, “After the incident, Tang Fei took the first step to rescue him, and now the entire Northwest Military Region’s Special Warfare Company is digging into the yellow sand to rescue Ye Qiu.”
“But, more than ten hours have passed since the incident, and Ye Qiu has yet to be found.”
“Ye Qiu, he’s only afraid that he’s already been killed.”
Clang!
The microphone fell to the ground.
Elder Ye’s body staggered and fell, but fortunately, Shadow was quick and assisted Elder Ye.
“Master, what happened to Ye Qiu, what happened to him?”
Shadow had followed Elder Ye for so many years, and had only seen Elder Ye lose his temper twice.
The first time, it was the night when Ye Wushuang suffered a siege more than twenty years ago.
The second time, it was tonight.
As the head of the first family in the capital, Master Ye was once a great man in a high position, used to seeing great storms and waves, and had long been able to do so without changing his colour, but at this moment, Master Ye lost his temper.
Shadow helped Master Ye to sit down on a chair, suddenly, he saw two tears flowing from the corner of Master Ye’s eyes.
“Master, what are you doing?”
“Something happened to Ye Qiu.”Elder Ye trembled, “The Military God said that he was shipwrecked.”
What!
Shadow shuddered, “Ye Qiu is fine, how could something happen to him? Isn’t it a mistake?”
“The Military God wouldn’t lie to me, and there is no need to lie, now it seems that it’s because something happened to Ye Qiu, that’s why the Military God left the capital for the Northwest.”
“Back then, in order not to drag the Ye family down, Wushuang forbade me to help him and faced a strong enemy alone, and on his parting, the last thing Wushuang said to me was that he hoped I could help him take care of Ye Qiu.”
“But now, Ye Qiu just went like that.”
“I’m sorry Wushuang ah puh!”A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of Elder Ye’s mouth.
“Master, you shouldn’t be too sad.”
Before the shadow could finish his words, he saw Elder Ye violently stand up, turn around and open the bookcase, rummaging through it.
“Master, what are you looking for?”Shadow asked.
“I have a photo with Wushuang, I forgot where I put it, do you know?”Master Ye asked as he searched.
“Master, you told me to put that group photo in the safe.”
Elder Ye opened a cabinet against the wall that had a safe in it, and after opening it, he took out a photo from it.
On the front of the photo, it was exactly the photo of him and Ye Wushuang.
Elder Ye instructed Shadow, “Light the candle.”
The shadow immediately complied.
Afterwards, Elder Ye placed the photo on the candle and roasted it while saying, “Last year, when the Long Brow Realist came to the capital, I asked him to tell Ye Qiu’s fortune.”
“At that time, he wrote the result on the back of this photo using a secret technique and instructed me that I should open it again when Ye Qiu was in danger.”
Elder Ye turned the photo over and the reverse side was blank.
“Why is there nothing?”Elder Ye was full of doubts.
Shadow said, “Master, that old thing Long Eyebrows is unreliable eek, the word appeared.”
Elder Ye quickly looked down, only to see that on the reverse side of the photo, eight words emerged:
“Son of Heaven’s Destiny, in distress!”
