Chapter 227: 146: The Lanling by your side is indeed Suo Lun! The wedding!_2

The meaning in Fang Qingshu’s words was crystal clear: we are powerless to save your father, Yan Yan. Therefore, you don’t have to donate the Dragon Seal Stele either.

What a joke, such a heavenly treasure cannot be exposed. Once it’s made public, it must be donated to the Dragon Temple. Otherwise, countless supreme experts would come to steal it, and Yan Shuang would never have peace.

"I donate this sacred object with no strings attached," Yan Shuang declared resolutely. "Now, in the presence of the official representative of the Rage Wave Kingdom, Lord Ji Gang of Tianye City, and the two judges from the Sanctuary Tribunal, I formally offer this Ancient Dragon Seal Rubbing to the Dragon Temple without any conditions."

Having said this, Yan Shuang lifted the thousand-pound stele with both hands and handed it over to Fang Qingshu.

Fang Qingshu slit his palm with a precious sword, allowing his hands to be stained with blood, as he took over the Ancient Dragon Ruins with utmost solemnity and reverence.

Fang Qingshu spoke sincerely, "Miss Yan Shuang’s generosity will be eternally appreciated by our Dragon Temple. We will certainly cherish this sacred object and ensure it is revered by generations to come."

Then, cradling the Dragon Seal Stele, Fang Qingshu bowed and retreated backward, saying to the two judges, "Honorable judges, with the sacred object in hand, I dare not delay. I will travel day and night on foot to the Zhi Du Sanctuary. Please accompany me to escort it."

"We shall follow your command," the two judges responded.

And so, Fang Qingshu left with the Dragon Seal Stele in hand, followed respectfully by the two judges.

These three men were now set to travel thousands of miles entirely on foot, to place the Dragon Seal Stele in the Dragon Temple in the City of Rage Wave.

"Alas, Heaven envies the talented. With the departure of my worthy brother Yan Yan, it’s as if Tianye City has lost its pillar that reaches the sky," lamented Lord Ji Gang of Tianye City. "My dear niece, please accept my condolences, and should you need any assistance, do not hesitate to ask."

He was eager to go and inform the other eleven power brokers of Tianye City that the Wolf King had perished and that they could now attack with confidence.

Tomorrow, by the latest, the fatal assault on the Silver Wolf Legion would begin, with attacks from both inside and out. Within a month, the Silver Wolf Legion would vanish into ashes and smoke.

And Yan Shuang, the stunningly beautiful woman who took one’s breath away, would thus become the finest spoil of victory. Whether for personal enjoyment or as an offering to the person of the highest status, she would be a supreme prize.

"I take my leave," said Lord Ji Gang of Tianye City with another look at Yan Yan, his sigh mingling seeming condolence with glee, before he turned to depart.

Instantly, only Suo Lun, Yan Shuang, and Turing Duo remained in the secret chamber.

"Miss Turing isn’t leaving?" Yan Shuang asked.

Turing Duo said, "I have a few words I wish to speak with Miss Yan Shuang alone."

Without any hesitation, Suo Lun turned and left immediately. At this moment, he couldn’t afford to show any semblance of hesitation, or Turing Duo would mark him as Suo Lun.

What would the consequences be if he were identified as Suo Lun? It would be tantamount to a death sentence.

This was Tianye City, beyond the borders of the Rage Wave Kingdom; if Suo Lun died here, there would be no place to seek justice.

Seeing Suo Lun depart so decisively made Turing Duo startle. At this moment, if he really were Suo Lun, his greatest worry would be being left alone with Yan Shuang, who might reveal his true identity.

But this rough man called Lan Xiao walked away so swiftly, looking as if he did not have any guilt at all?

...

After Suo Lun left, only Yan Shuang and Turing Duo remained in the secret chamber.

"How heartless is the Dragon Temple? To accept such a precious gift, yet not lift a finger to help," Turing Duo scoffed coldly.

Yan Shuang replied, "One must always rely on oneself."

"Indeed," said Turing Duo. "One must rely on oneself, yet so often, people fall short. I believe that after tomorrow, the Silver Wolf Legion will be besieged both internally and externally, with its destruction imminent."

Yan Shuang responded, "That is a private matter of my Silver Wolf Legion. Miss Turing need not trouble herself."

Looking at Yan Shuang, Turing Duo’s previously hard and cold gaze suddenly softened as she said, "We are both women, and you are only a year older than me, yet your cultivation is much stronger than mine. I admire you in my heart. May I call you Sister Yan Shuang?"

Yan Shuang replied, "As you wish."

Turing Duo said softly, "Sister Yan Shuang, heed my advice and leave Tianye City. Whether you go to the Rage Wave Kingdom, to the Xiliang Kingdom, or even to Night Orchid Duchy to become the Crown Princess Consort, it would be good to leave this place. Otherwise, the Silver Wolf Legion is doomed, and you will certainly meet your demise."

Yan Shuang said coldly, "I am the daughter of Silver Wolf Yan Yan. I would rather die a glorious death than live a cowardly life. I will go nowhere; if I must die, I will die in Tianye City."

"Good!" exclaimed Turing Duo. "Miss Yan Shuang is indeed a female hero. I admire you greatly. I have a proposal for you; would you like to hear it?"

Yan Shuang said, "Please speak."

Turing Duo went on, "You should be aware of my Turing Clan’s influence in the military, and even though Tianye City lies just outside the borders of Rage Wave Kingdom, our deterrent power here is immense."

Yan Shuang nodded, acknowledging the point.

After all, Tianye City was the closest to the Rage Wave Kingdom, entirely within its sphere of influence. The Rage Wave Kingdom needed such a neutral trade city, otherwise, the armies that could wipe out Tianye City and incorporate it into the kingdom’s territory were but moments away.

Turing Duo continued, "We can ensure the survival of your Silver Wolf Legion, and we can help you eliminate Ji Gang, supporting you as both the City Lord and the Chief Controller of Tianye City. If you need money, we’ll provide it; if you need troops, we’ll supply them."
