Chapter 221: Chapter 221: The Return of the White Emperor

Listening to her words, Huo Liuli lowered her gaze and curtain, feeling rather speechless.

How could Huo Lingjun, at her age, shamelessly say such things?

Isn’t she embarrassed?

Can thick skin really do whatever it wants?

"Grandma, don’t say anymore, Xiao Zhan isn’t."

Huo Lingjun became puzzled, "How do you know he isn’t?"

"He really isn’t."

Huo Liuli rarely showed a trace of shyness.

"How do you know that?" Huo Lingjun, seeing Huo Liuli’s demeanor for the first time, was filled with curiosity and pressed on.

With Huo Liuli being gazed at with such gossipy interest, her pretty face turned even redder, her head lowered, not daring to look at Huo Lingjun’s face.

"I just know."

She couldn’t help but recall the first time she brought Xiao Zhan back to the tribe, when she was applying medicine and changing his clothes, and that accidental glance - it was truly an astonishing glimpse.

Having said this, she was surprised at herself for even arguing with Huo Lingjun over such a matter.

Quickly turning her head, she ran off shyly.

Seeing her daughter-like demeanor, Huo Lingjun couldn’t help but be surprised – how could this girl be so sure?

Could it be that...

...

Two days later.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong successfully left the Demon Beast Forest.

They arrived in a small village on the outskirts of the forest.

There was a signal here.

Taking out a communicator from the Dimension Space, Ye Youlong dialed a mysterious number.

The other end of the communicator connected, "This is the Northern Town Command Control Room."

Ye Youlong spoke, "General Bai Zhan is dead."

"What?"

Click.

Ye Youlong hung up the communicator, his expression suddenly becoming grave.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan asked, "What’s wrong, why did you hang up?"

Ye Youlong explained, "What I just said was the secret code for the Northern Control Room. Only the most trusted people know it, but the operator didn’t. Northern Town has been taken over."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s expression turned grave as well.

"Could it be that the operator didn’t react in time?"

"That’s impossible. Everyone in that position has undergone strict training. This kind of scenario has been rehearsed countless times before; they absolutely wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake!"

Xiao Zhan nodded; indeed that was the case. Since there was a secret code established, only extremely sharp and intelligent people would be fit for the role.

Otherwise, one small slip-up could lead to irreversible consequences!

But knowing this, Xiao Zhan’s face showed worry, if even Northern Town had been taken over, what on earth had happened?

"What should we do now?" Xiao Zhan first sought Ye Youlong’s opinion; Northern Town was her home, and she would be more familiar with the situation.

Ye Youlong was silent for a moment, then said, "Go back."

"Go back where?"

"Northern Town."

Xiao Zhan frowned, "But Northern Town is now under control. Isn’t going back just asking for death?"

Ye Youlong shook his head, "Being captured and taken back is asking for death; going back on our own is not."

"The Northern Town is not that weak, and the Federation is not that chaotic. If Huang Yuan dares to launch a mutiny at this time, then he must have used some method to deceive people’s attention."

"As long as we expose this news, Huang Yuan’s plan will fail. This is also why Huang Yuan would go to the extent of sending a Fifth Grade Spirit Master just to capture us."

"The Federation will definitely send someone to investigate this matter; as long as we go back with them, our safety won’t be that much of an issue."

Hearing her say this, Xiao Zhan immediately understood, "Then I’ll communicate with Qin Wanfeng right now."

So, he immediately took out the communicator and dialed Qin Wanfeng.

Qin Wanfeng was of high status and could easily spread the news to the higher-ups.

Soon, the communication connected, and Qin Wanfeng’s voice came through, "You little rascal, why are you calling me? Are you tired of the military and want to join my Special Service Bureau? I welcome you anytime."

"Director Qin, something has happened, and I need your help."

Xiao Zhan went straight to the point and told Qin Wanfeng about the events that had occurred.

After listening, Qin Wanfeng was silent on the other end for a few seconds, then spoke with a heavy voice, "Huang Yuan actually dares to launch a mutiny, he really is tired of living. I’m reporting this to the top right now! Where are you guys? I’ll send someone to pick you up."

"We’re in a small town on the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest, I’ll send you my location."

"Alright, wait there for me. I’ll be there soon. Be careful."

After hanging up the communicator, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong looked serious. Such a major issue at the Federation level couldn’t be changed by their individual power; they had to rely on the high-level officials of the Federation.

"Do you guys, the Ye Family, have some sort of grudge with Huang Yuan? They’re risking their lives to start a mutiny," Xiao Zhan asked.

In this era, it was the Demon Beasts who were humanity’s enemy.

Under the threat of external dangers, it was very unlikely for the military to have a mutiny.

Especially an uprising led by a Commander in charge of a territory; if things don’t go well, not to mention the high-level Federation noticing and rendering all efforts useless, it would also be difficult to deal with the Demon Beasts.

After all, with one less strongest combat power, the military force of Northern City in resisting the Demon Beasts would be greatly weakened.

Of course, unless Huang Yuan no longer wanted to live and was purely seeking revenge against society.

But his series of actions clearly weren’t about seeking revenge on society; he had his own goals to achieve.

As such, Xiao Zhan was very curious about why he would do this.

Hearing this question, Ye Youlong contemplated the grudge between the Ye and Huang families.

But after thinking for a long time, she couldn’t come up with a conclusion.

She shook her head blankly, "Huang Yuan has always shown great loyalty, never displaying any signs of rebellion, and he is very brave on the battlefield. He’s been close to dying at the hands of Demon Beasts several times. Aside from a bit of a temper, he doesn’t have any other issues."

"That’s strange, such a person wouldn’t likely turn traitor."

Xiao Zhan, though puzzled, knew that Huang Yuan must have some reason unknown to him.

At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion outside the room.

Xiao Zhan had just prepared to use his Perception Skill when a white figure leaped in from the outside window, charging straight into Xiao Zhan’s arms.

Xiao Zhan stopped his attacking motion, relaxed his spirit, and picked up the white thing.

Snowy white and fluffy, it was the long-missing Baidi!

Baidi affectionately nuzzled against Xiao Zhan, meowing while looking at him with glowing, eager eyes, as if it hadn’t seen him for so long and it was expecting to eat.

"You little rascal, when I’m in a life and death crisis, you’re nowhere to be found. Now that things are safe, you show up again, huh? Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating all day long!"

Xiao Zhan was exasperated by its gluttonous appearance.

Such an ungrateful creature.

However, even though he said this, he was still quite happy in his heart.

He had thought that Baidi was dead.
