Chapter 151 Everyone Is Waiting for You

Zhou Qianfeng remained completely unruffled and simply said,

"The main battlefield of the World Boss is directly related to the safety of World City. Both the Alliance Leader and Deputy Alliance Leader were aware of the White Guard's deployment.

It was just conducted secretly, not 'sneakily.'"

Fu Yixue scoffed coldly, "Then what about your previous order for the White Guard to treat Wu Yue with courtesy? What was that about?

You’ve met Wu Yue, haven’t you, Zhou Qianfeng? You must have noticed something!"

Zhou Qianfeng only smiled, "What should I have noticed?"

Fu Yixue glared at the old fox before her and immediately activated the Truth-Compelling Spell in her hand.

Before she could act, five ghostly figures suddenly appeared beside them, each wearing different animal masks.

They were the Five Great Immortal Beings: Fox, Weasel, White Weasel, Snake, and Rat.

The five stood in a tight protective formation around Zhou Qianfeng, their presence accompanied by faint, menacing sounds of the animals they represented.

If only one of the Five Immortals had appeared, Fu Yixue wouldn’t have been concerned.

But now, with all five present, a direct confrontation wouldn’t be so simple.

Zhou Qianfeng smiled with infuriating calm, "Master Fu, times have changed.

After all, I am now the Secretary-General of the Alliance. Grant me the respect due my position."

Fu Yixue sneered, "Zhou Qianfeng, you’re as insufferable as ever."

Zhou Qianfeng’s playful expression vanished instantly, his cold expression turning as intimidating as when he effortlessly dominated Alliance meetings.

"Fu Yixue, in my eyes, aren’t you just as arrogant and insufferable?

Given my current status, if not for her, do you really think I’d tolerate your insolence?"

The two locked eyes, their mutual hatred palpable.

Had anyone else in the world dared speak to Fu Yixue like this, they would have been dead where they stood long ago.

But now, she needed Zhou Qianfeng’s answer.

Fu Yixue clenched her fists tightly, "Tell me, is Wu Yue her child?"

A brief flash of surprise crossed Zhou Qianfeng’s eyes. He sighed softly, then retrieved a folder from his desk and handed it to his secretary, "Give it to her."

Fu Yixue frowned as she took it, "What is this?"

Zhou Qianfeng replied, "Come back to me when you’ve resolved the issues contained within."

Fu Yixue opened the folder on the spot.

"The Alliance recently detected the emergence of an unknown corrupting presence near a refugee camp in World City. The primary source of this force has yet to be identified.

Refugees affected by this malevolent force went on a murderous rampage in the local camp, leaving numerous dead and wounded.

Examination of the afflicted subjects revealed that they demonstrated sudden surges of supernatural energy far exceeding their natural limits within a short period, even alarmingly spontaneously manifesting dangerous awakened abilities."

"After unleashing their power, the individual rapidly aged to death."

Fu Yixue flipped to the second page:

"Tracing the origins of the refugee possessed by the malevolent force, it was discovered that he was an orphan from Friendly Orphanage."

Zhou Qianfeng, "In recent years, due to a sharp decline in newborns, many orphanages have shut down, with their children being transferred to those still in operation. This person happened to come from Friendly Orphanage, which was just shut down recently."

Fu Yixue, "Friendly Orphanage?"

Zhou Qianfeng, "The very same orphanage where Wu Yue once resided, and also where Yi Na—your star pupil Fu Mingli’s future fiancée—used to live.

Not only that, but for the past decade, this orphanage has frequently produced high-level psychic talents, often accompanied by powerful awakened abilities.

Currently, nearly all of these children have been adopted by influential families in Central City, groomed into outstanding members of their households—pillars of their communities.

Even heirs.

Of course, you’ve adopted several yourself."

Fu Yixue's frown deepened, "So, you suspect there’s a connection between these two things?"

Zhou Qianfeng, "It’s just my theory. I’m a politician—reading between the lines is what I do.

Moreover, the Alliance has only recently become stable, and there are still those who seek to incite rebellion.

I always have to stay three moves ahead to never be caught flat-footed."

Fu Yixue, you just need to take care of the Fu family and ensure that the entire Daoist community does not fall because of you.

The rest will naturally be handled by me.”

Fu Yixue flipped to the third page of the document, where Ina’s photograph and the benefits she had secured for the Huo family over the years were clearly detailed.

The connections were deeply intertwined; Ina and the Huo family were bound together, with many of these ties also involving the interests of her own Fu family and Fu Mingli.

With one hand, Fu Yixue ignited a flame, burning the file in her hand to ashes, which fell to the ground.

She turned and left without a word.

Zhou Qianfeng rubbed his temples, “Thank you all for your hard work.”

The Five Immortals silently dispersed.

Zhou Qianfeng spoke softly, “I have no descendants, so everything I have now will ultimately belong to Wuyue.

I only hope that when it is passed to Wuyue, it will not cause her any trouble.”

The secretary said, “If there are any changes in Master Fu’s situation…”

Zhou Qianfeng smiled silently, but his eyes were cold with a deadly intent,

“I thought it would be good to leave Wuyue with more resources.

But if there are any dirty or foul elements mixed in, then it’s better not to.”

Eliminate them all, then.

The underlying meaning in Zhou Qianfeng's words made the secretary's blood run cold.

....

"Yue Yue."

"Yue Yue, come to Mother."

"Mother."

"Mother, hug."

"I love Mother so much."

Wu Yue struggled to raise her head, trying to see her mother's face clearly, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't.

She stretched out her tiny hand, stumbling forward as she ran toward her mother's receding figure.

"Mother."

"Mother!"

But her mother kept getting further away.

"Mother!"

Wu Yue's eyes flew open, and the treatment cabin above her slid open instantly.

Shen Que looked worried. "Wu Yue, how are you feeling?"

His face blurred in her vision, and Wu Yue remained dazed for a long moment before finally regaining her senses.

She sat up slowly. "How long was I unconscious?" she said weakly.

Shen Que, "Three full days."

Wu Yue hadn’t realized she'd been unconscious that long this time. She quickly asked Shen Que:

"That long? What about the World Boss? How’s the World Boss?

And you, Captain—why are you here? Don’t you have dungeon business to handle?"

Shen Que smiled. "Right now, I’m waiting for our MVP to wake up before I go deal with the dungeon."

Wu Yue had blacked out the moment she unleashed the Seventh Ice: Frozen World skill, so she had no idea the Boss had been dead for a while—much less that she was the "hero" in Shen Que's story.

Wu Yue stared blankly. "Me?"

Shen Que, "Wu Yue, you’re the hero. You landed the final blow on the World Boss.

Now, go clean up.

Blaze’s shuttle has been stationed outside the World Boss map all this time. Not a single Blaze member has left—everyone’s waiting for you.

They’re just waiting for you to wake up so we can go loot the drops."

Wu Yue blinked once, twice.

Finally,

beneath Shen Que’s anxious stare,

Wu Yue's eyes were rimmed red, and she clapped both hands over her face.

That's great,

She's alive,

They all made it,

Everyone in Blaze is okay.

Mom—

I'll keep moving forward on my own path,

Firmly and unwaveringly.
