Chapter 485 -486: Zhao Xiyan Did Something Behind Qi Yue’s Back.
Qi Yue quickly regained her composure.
“Oh, right. We were talking about Sheng Lang! Now this matter is somewhat more important.”

She couldn’t help it, her thoughts always leaped ahead uncontrollably!
Meanwhile, in the Nanyue Camp, Sheng Lang’s face was dark with anger, his eyes like deep pools, staring intently at the kneeling figure of Sheng Lang before him.
“This is what you called foolproof?!”
Sheng Lang raised his head, his pale cheeks filled with a frightened expression, clearly having been punished.
“I am guilty. I did not know that the boy would be as tough as iron! Fortunately, you have the eyes of a hawk, sir, otherwise… a hundred deaths would not absolve me of my guilt!”
“Hmph!” Sheng Lang huffed repeatedly.
“The boy has arrived, it seems Zhao Xiyan has already become suspicious about the happenings in Gemidu City…”
As he spoke, Sheng Lang’s face grew stern as if he’d thought of something.
“…they might already know!!”
“No, no, no!” Sheng Lang crawled forward a few steps on his knees, hastily defending himself, “Sir, please believe me, nothing here has been leaked, the boy’s appearance might just be an accident!”
“Might be? An accident?” Sheng Lang’s eyes bulged, his nostrils flaring with rage, making him resemble a snorting bull.
“Sheng Lang, if there’s an accident with this matter, I will have your life!”
“Sir, there will be no accidents. I stake my life on it, sir. Everything has been done perfectly; no one will know. Even if Zhao Xiyan has suspicions, he won’t find anything for a while!”
Perhaps Sheng Lang’s determination assuaged Sheng Lang’s doubts, as his expression finally eased somewhat.
“If you are sure, then ensure the plan proceeds smoothly!”
“Yes!” replied Sheng Lang, a hint of flattery in his voice, “Sir, shall we move up the timetable? Every year, just when the thunderstorms are ending, the sea becomes especially rough. If we activate the mechanism then, we can surely harness the wind and ride the waves straight into Longnan’s hinterlands!”
Sheng Lang stroked his beard, his expression unchanging.
“I’ve thought about it myself, but that thing is too unstable, Master Qi is worried about complications…”
He paused mid-sentence and fell into contemplation.
A moment later, he continued, “I’ll discuss it further with Master Qi, see if he has any ideas!”
He glanced at Sheng Lang, his expression softening slightly.
“It’s good that you thought of this. Do you have any other ideas?”
Sheng Lang’s face finally regained some color as he received the praise, and his demeanor grew livelier.
“Sir, I have another suggestion, though I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to speak?”
“Speak!”
Sheng Lang licked the corner of his mouth and crawled another step forward.
“Sir, if you are worried that Zhao Xiyan will notice us here, why not give him something else to focus on?”
Sheng Lang squinted his eyes, his paper-thin lips curling slightly.
“Well said. Zhao Xiyan is busy with construction and playing Emperor. We should indeed keep him busier… at least until the end of this rainy season…”
He looked at Sheng Lang approvingly, then rose and walked to the desk and began to write.
He wrote out several letters before stopping.
“Sheng Lang, have someone deliver these to Fengdu on horseback, hand them to the Cabinet, and have our people press the Conservative Faction again, creating the illusion of an attack from Northern Ridge!”
Looking up and seeing Sheng Lang still kneeling, remembering that he dared not stand without permission, he waved his hand.
“Stand up. I know you’ve done well. For over a decade, no one has paid any attention to this place.”
At this point, a self-satisfied smile appeared on Sheng Lang’s withered face.
“…you’re right, it’s all coming to an end now. Even if Zhao Xiyan knows, it’s too late for him to turn things around! Hahaha…”
He laughed wildly for a moment before his gaze fell on Sheng Lang, and the laughter faded away as if the tide had gone out.
“The reason I am punishing you is to make you strive for excellence! To forge you into a perfect blade! When I stir chaos across the land and turn the entire royal family to dust, that will be your time to shine, Sheng Lang. Do you understand?”
Sheng Lang’s face flushed with excitement.
Because he was kneeling, and his neck was stretched out long, he looked like a red-necked duck.
“This subordinate understands! I am willing to die for your cause!”
“Go then, and keep a close eye on the developments!”
“Yes, my Lord!”
At that moment, the far horizon lit up suddenly and without warning, bathing the previously dim study in brilliance.
Even though it was brief, the light was incredibly dazzling!
“The thunderstorm season has begun!”
The voice of Sheng Lang was deep, tinged with an unmistakable excitement.
That night, lightning flashed and thunder boomed, accompanied by torrential rain.
The next day, dawn arrived an entire shichen later than usual.
Qi Yue, who was a late sleeper, was woken up by the sound of the rain and simply decided to get dressed and watch the rain from the corridor.
Zhao Xiyan brought her a cloak and urged her to go back to bed.
“Yueyue, watching like this is not a solution, be careful with your health! You’re not alone now!”
“I am quite well, and so is the child,” said Qi Yue, clasping her fists to show her energy, though her eyes were fixed on the dark skies.
Zhao Xiyan was at a loss with her and decided to try another tactic.
“Zhao Chong’s news should arrive soon. Let’s go back and wait.”
“Alright,” Qi Yue pouted and followed him back to the room.
On the small table by the window, hot tea was ready, along with several snacks made by White Mother.
The two of them sat down, and no sooner had they had a sip of hot tea than Hei Lie hurriedly came in.
“Master, the message has arrived.”
As he spoke, he presented several thick documents.
Qi Yue took them, picking out the one from Fengdu and eagerly opened it.
After only a few glances, her fair little face tensed up.
“This Nanyue world is truly filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons, it has all sorts of people!”
Zhao Xiyan looked over the document and his expression gradually turned serious.
“It’s difficult for Yueyue to have foreseen this, more than a decade ago we were but children, how could we have connected Sheng Lang’s wide recruitment of alchemists to today’s events?!”
But Qi Yue shook her head.
“No, I feel that even for an alchemist, to extract the sodium element from seawater, to stabilize it, and to cause it to react with water at a certain time, leading to an explosion and triggering a tsunami, it still seems a bit far-fetched…”
She spoke, furrowing her delicate eyebrows and falling into deep thought.
“Where could the problem lie…”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyan’s fingertips hidden in his sleeves tightened.
His seemingly unfeeling thin lips twitched slightly, but eventually, he remained silent.
Qi Yue, lost in thought, didn’t notice Zhao Xiyan’s unusual behavior.
In fact, Zhao Xiyan had done something without Qi Yue’s knowledge.
Ten days ago, he had diverted twenty of the most elite Shadow Guards from the black market to investigate the details of the Twelve Noble Families and the Eight Great Powers of the Qiongzhou Continent a century ago.
Just the day before, messages were steadily arriving from those he had sent out, and some of the news had unsettled his heart.
