The King of Special Warfare-Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Peacemaker

Wang Yuetong settled down in Yonghua Villa. It had been a day since the opening of the Sky Academy, but Li Tianlan didn’t go back to the academy. The little princess of the Wang family of Beihai did not even mention it.

It was said that Wang Tianzong had left Huating. However, the search task announced by the Sky Academy was still ongoing, not knowing was it because he had left so hastily that he failed to inform Zhuang Huayang of his departure or was it because the old headmaster ignored something. Now the Sky Academy was officially open, but in order to gain the attractive 200 credits offered by the search task, many people were still struggling to find the missing one outside the academy. Sometimes, when Li Tianlan saw Wang Yuetong walk before him, he even had the feeling of looking at credits.

Li Baitian, Ning Qiancheng, and Yu Qingyan all called him and asked why he didn’t return to school. Li Tianlan could only make an excuse that he was tied up at the moment and could not leave. He couldn’t tell the truth, especially facing Yu Qingyan.

Yu Donglai had made him his only hope. If he knew his current state, only God knew what a mental blow he would take.

Sitting in the living room and thinking of the old man, Li Tianlan hesitated.

He knew that perhaps the most important thing he should do was to meet Yu Donglai, but he didn’t know how to explain his current state to him.

At present, his vitality had been completely stabilized. With the assistance of the Immortality Potion, he could live for at least another three to five years. Furthermore, his realm of strength became stable.

He was both in the Qi-controlling Realm and the Thunder-shocking Realm.

Now he was simply more powerful than ever, but the price he had to pay was that he had no hope of entering the Invincible Realm. What was worse, it was even impossible for him to enter the Thunder-shocking Realm completely

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Li Tianlan to be in a good mood, but he did not despair. After all, he was still alive. He had experienced too many desperate situations when he was in the desert of Beijiang back then. Everything he was experiencing was, at best, a small thing for him currently.

Neither did he want to complain nor did he feel disappointed about or scared of the future. He just wanted to do something.

But it was also the biggest problem.

Because he couldn’t find a suitable starting point.

Currently, he had little understanding of the treason case back then. What was worse, he was unfamiliar with Huating. The organization named the Curtain was by far the most powerful weapon at his disposal, but it did little to help the case of treason. Under the present situation, his best choice was to seek Yu Donglai.

Yu Donglai had stood aloof from worldly affairs in recent years and remained dormant in Huating. However, Li Tianlan was sure that he must have some clues. These clues, no matter how small and fragmented, were better than none at all. As long as there was an entry point, and the entry point was given to the Curtain, then Li Tianlan could do too many things.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier.

Li Tianlan sat in the living room quietly, making a pot of tea.

The rain continued for two days, shifting from moderate to heavy, and set the city in an uproar. Sitting in the villa and looking out of the window, he found that the bustle of the entire Huating seemed to have disappeared, leaving the only desolation.

A thin coat draped over Li Tianlan from the back and Wang Yuetong’s sweet voice sounded behind him. “Senior brother, aren’t you cold? You can’t catch a cold now.”

Having just showered, Wang Yuetong sat down beside Li Tianlan, holding the newborn Golden Retriever. She smiled gently and asked, “Do you want to watch TV?”

Smelling the fresh fragrance around him, Li Tianlan smiled and replied, “Have it your way. When are you going back to the Sky Academy?”

“Whatever.”

Wang Yuetong lifted up her long wet hair casually. She held the dog in one hand and pressed the remote with her little, white, and pink feet, adding casually, “I will go whenever you go. Didn’t the academy issue the search task? I’ve been living in seclusion lately, waiting for you to take me to the Sky Academy to exchange credits.”

“The mission will be cancelled in a few days.”

Li Tianlan smiled helplessly and continued, “Given my condition, going to the Sky Academy is a complete waste of time. Fortunately, although my vitality has been consumed a lot, my combat capability has skyrocketed. I plan to do something recently, so I have no time to accompany you. How about going to the Sky Academy first? Otherwise, when the headmaster cancels the task, your credits will be deducted. Do you want to be expelled from the school?”

The internal management of the Sky Academy was strict yet loose, and there was a saying that credit was everything. In theory, it didn’t matter how long one skipped class as long as he possessed enough credits. One credit would be deducted for each day of absence. When too many credits were deducted and the sum of credits became a negative number, the Teaching Affairs Office would get in touch with the relative student to determine his condition.

In such a case, if the student was still not willing to return to the academy, the Teaching Affairs Office would hand the student’s materials over to the Political Department. Then the Political Department would discuss whether to delete the student’s files. If the answer was yes, a notice would be issued by the Political Department to expel the student from the Sky Academy completely.

If the answer was no, the Political Department would send the information of the student back to the Teaching Affairs Office. The Teaching Affairs Office would give the student disciplinary punishment to see how he would behave in the future.

Due to the entrance maneuver, Li Tianlan had 50 credits. Wang Yuetong originally possessed 80 credits, but she spent 60 credits in exchange for a healing potion for Li Tianlan, thus, she now had 20 credits left.

If Wang Yuetong didn’t show up for class, by the time the task of the academy was cancelled, her files would be sent to the Political Department in 20 days.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll call Uncle Ye later and I won’t be expelled. The academy will at most give me disciplinary punishment. I will make up for it with credits.”

Wang Yuetong casually changed the channels with the remote. Her big eyes were blinking and her long eyelashes were fluttering. Anyone saw her would have an urge to kiss her.

“Uncle Ye?”

Li Tianlan looked at her blankly.

“Ye Fengcheng. He is the director of the Political Department of the Sky Academy and a good friend of my Second Uncle.”

Wang Yuetong sat cross-legged on the sofa and chuckled. Her body was soft, as if she wanted to lean against Li Tianlan. The little Golden Retriever in her embrace jumped to Li Tianlan’s arm first and licked the back of his hand, making him get itchy.

Li Tianlan held the dog and nodded, then shook his head. “Anyway, you’d better hurry back.”

He handed Wang Yuetong the dog and stood up, saying, “I’m gonna go out.”

He decided to go and meet Yu Donglai, or there was no point in staying here every day.

With his current strength, Li Tianlan was capable of defeating almost all the freshmen and seniors, and even most of the teachers and directors, once he returned to the Sky Academy. He was not sure that he could beat Tribulation. To be honest, Li Tianlan was even unable to escape when fighting with him. Besides Tribulation, he was not so confident to defeat Zhuang Huayang either. But he dared to fight anyone but the two.

Nonetheless, being invincible at the Sky Academy was clearly not his goal. From the moment he went grey, he had no intention of going back to the Sky Academy. Even if his credits were all deducted, it did not matter at all.

“Then come back early.”

Wang Yuetong stood up with the dog in her arms and walked over to Li Tianlan in her slippers, as if she wanted to see him out.

“Hmm,” Li Tianlan replied as he got dressed and went straight to the door together with Wang Yuetong.

When the key was inserted in the lock, he heard the opening of the door.

Li Tianlan stiffened, and then he was so overjoyed that he almost flung himself at the door.

Wang Yuetong froze. Looking at the excited Li Tianlan from behind, she held the Golden Retriever tightly in her arms subconsciously and seemed a little nervous.

Qin Weibai’s figure appeared at the door. Looking at Li Tianlan rush over excitedly, she was shocked. The cold expression in her eyes suddenly softened.

“Have you had a meal?”

She walked in with Flaming Fire. As she bent down at the vestibule and took off her high-heeled shoes, she asked in a soft voice.

The weather in May in Huating was hardly cold. It was rainy and the outside was just cool.

However, Qin Weibai wore a very thick overcoat, and her dreamy face looked haggard and tired. Her face was so pale that the color had gone from her rosy lips.

Li Tianlan’s heart sank. He suddenly took one step forward and looked at Qin Weibai carefully, asking, “Are you hurt?”

“I was attacked sneakily in Bili State by two experts at the Peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm, but Horsewoman blocked most of their blows. I was hurt a little bit. It’s ok, I’ll recuperate in a few days.”

Qin Weibai chuckled. Her dim eyes gradually became bright after she saw Li Tianlan.

She took off her overcoat and put on her slippers. Then she directly put her arms around Li Tianlan’s neck and kissed him hard on the cheek. After that, she said smilingly, “I’m dying to see you.”

Li Tianlan put his arms around Qin Weibai’s slender waist and gradually calmed down. “All right, all right,” he whispered.

“Come here. I have brought you good things, and you will soon recover from your injury.”

Qin Weibai took Li Tianlan’s hand and her eyes lit up. “My elder sister took a lot of effort to get it, you must thank her sincerely some other day.”

She took Li Tianlan’s arm and walked to the sofa. When passing by Wang Yuetong, she looked steadily forward, as if she did not see her at all.

At that moment, she was wearing a gray sweater and tight black leggings. Although she dressed up commonly, her perfect figure was completely revealed. She held Li Tianlan’s arm casually, becoming the hostess of the family at the moment.

Wang Yuetong had obviously just showered and her hair was still wet. She was wearing pyjamas and holding a dog. Although she looked particularly beautiful, she was not confident in front of Qin Weibai.

Wang Yuetong felt like a dwarf every time she appeared before her.

She bit her lip hard and walked on the other side of Li Tianlan with the dog in one hand, sitting almost next to him on the sofa.

Li Tianlan glanced at her and his expression seemed unnatural.

Wang Yuetong’s face turned red. Everything Qin Weibai did was natural, even the way she sat, while she did everything deliberately.

Li Tianlan opened his mouth unconsciously, trying to explain, but Qin Weibai seemed to see nothing and waved at Flaming Fire, who just entered the door.

Flaming Fire came up with a crystal box and put it on the tea table.

The light was on in the living room. Soft light fell on the crystal box, and the refracted light was colorful. There was a strange dreaminess about it.

Li Tianlan fixed his eyes on the pattern right in front of the box, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. The lines were simply drawn with great momentum and the pattern could leave a deep impression on anyone who saw it at first sight.

Li Tianlan had seen this pattern. The first time he went to the Garden Party, Wang Xiaoyao handed him a membership card and this pattern was on it.

The sky and the sea.

“It belongs to my family.”

Wang Yuetong whispered and her expression changed slightly.

“Yes.”

Qin Weibai shot her a glance and nodded slightly. But she suddenly asked, “Did you feed Tianlan the Immortality Potion of the first version?”

Wang Yuetong glanced at her and nodded.

“Thank you,” said Qin Weibai, her eyes sincere.

Every expert in the Dark World knew clearly the value of the Immortality Potion in the Wang family of Beihai. Wang Yuetong had done so much for Li Tianlan. Qin Weibai was truly grateful to her.

Wang Yuetong pursed her rosy lips. Hearing Qin Weibai’s sincere thanks, she subconsciously hugged the little Golden Retriever in her arms tightly, feeling wronged and wanting to cry.

The Golden Retriever struggled and whimpered in pain from the squeeze. It crawled out of Wang Yuetong’s arms, passed over Li Tianlan, and went straight into Qin Weibai’s arms.

“That’s my dog.”

Wang Yuetong felt more wronged and was on the verge of crying. She couldn’t win the competition for a man. But was she going to lose her pet either?

“We are a family. Why should we make clear of the belongings with each other?”

Qin Weibai said casually with a meaningful smile.

Wang Yuetong’s face suddenly turned red.

Li Tianlan’s heart shivered and he didn’t dare to say anything.

Flaming Fire had opened the box in front of her. Looking at the potions lying in it, she said calmly, “There is the Immortal Series of the Wang family of Beihai. The potions are still activating and probably the process will finish in eight hours. Then your injury will be completely healed.”

Immortality Potion.

The whole series!

Li Tianlan looked at the box, dazed.

“Immortal Series?!”

Wang Yuetong sprang to her feet and stared at Flaming Fire, asking coldly, “Where is my father? What did you do to my father?”

“This series is the treasure of the Wang family of Beihai. If a person from Samsara got it, my father…”

Wang Yuetong’s heart shook violently.

“His Majesty ranks first on the Divine List, so what could we do to him? It’s a deal. My elder sister bore his blow and gained this series at the cost of serious injury,” said Qin Weibai casually.

No one knew whether she deliberately simplified the process, or that was the version she heard from the Samsara Palace Master.

Li Tianlan remained silent for a long time before he looked at Qin Weibai and said seriously, “Thank the Palace Master for me.”

“Palace Master? You’re gonna call her elder sister.”

Qin Weibai muttered something discontent. Then she sighed gently and continued, “I wanted to stay and take care of my elder sister until she gets better. And it’s okay to ask Flaming Fire to send you the potions. However, Marshal Dongcheng and Headmaster Zhuang have made an appointment with me, so I come back by the way.”

Li Tianlan froze and was unable to come back to himself for a moment.

“My sister is badly hurt. In the battle with Tian Xin, she was seriously injured. Later, she went to the Wang family of Beihai…”

Qin Weibai took hold of Li Tianlan’s hand and said softly, “Wait till she is healed, I’ll come back to accompany you as soon as possible.”

Li Tianlan nodded in silence and asked gently, “What do general and headmaster want to do by meeting you?”

“They did not just invite me, but you and Zhong Yongming.”

The corners of Qin Weibai’s mouth curled slightly. With a meaningful smile on her face, she looked exceedingly beautiful.

Zhong Yongming!

Li Tianlan’s eyes narrowed slightly and he thought of the information he had received from the Curtain yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhongzhou Organization Department and Army Headquarters announced the transfers of several major personnel at the same time.

Liu Xiucheng, the deputy mayor of Huating, now served as a member of the standing committee and the director of the Ministry of Politics and Law in Huating. He Ping, the former director of the Ministry of Politics and Law, was under investigation due to serious disciplinary violations.

Bai Qingqian, the governor of Qinzhou Province, was transferred to Guandong Province to be the major secretary.

Dongcheng Qiuchi, the district mayor of Wudong New Area, now served as a member of the standing committee in Huating and the secretary of Wudong New Area.

Tan Qinghua was transferred to the Southern Theater of Operations to be the Deputy Commander.

Ye Fenglin, the former Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater of Operations, was transferred to Eastern Theater of Operations to be the Deputy Commander.

In less than a few days after Samsara eliminated Night Spirit, Zhongzhou State immediately reacted. It went without saying what that meant.

Zhong Yongming had always stressed the stability of Huating, but it did not achieve ultimately.

On the contrary, the top management of Zhongzhou State gave explicit support and attitude to the matter of strengthening the solidarity of the Eastern Theater of Operations mentioned by Ning Zhiyuan, the Commander of Eastern Theater of Operations.

As for whether there was a hidden storm in Zhongzhou State that was something unavailable for Li Tianlan for the time being.

However, Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang invited Qin Weibai and Zhong Yongming for a gathering.

The latter also accepted the invitation, which was self-evident.

Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang.

Were they going to make him the peacemaker?
