Chapter 396: Set Off for the Northwest

"Brother, I've packed all your clothes for you."

Su Yige came to the living room and said to Su Yian on the sofa: "If you can't come back before school starts, I will ask for leave for you."

Su Yian nodded and looked away from the space window. Qing Ming's whereabouts were unknown. Intelligence collection in the northwest was basically paralyzed, with no useful information at all.

Moreover, the risk factor of traveling to the northwest province is very high. The Changxing Palace is located in the northwest province. Although the Changxing Palace does not have military power, the previous Changxing King was a powerful man at the level of the Great Magister, and he was an unparalleled master in the northwest area.

Coupled with the unknown forces hiding in the dark, it requires careful planning.

Jingle Bell……

At this moment, the phone rang again, and Su Yian was startled when he saw the caller ID.

"Sister Xun, I called you so early. What's the matter?" Su Yian said as she stood up and walked to the balcony.

Su Yige looked at Su Yian's figure, and her expression froze slightly. This subconscious avoidance of her conversation made her feel so uncomfortable.

Looking for sister? Who is Sister Xun? Why had she never heard of it? Who else does my brother know that he doesn’t know?

She wanted to follow him and eavesdrop, but thinking that she might make her brother angry, she could only suppress the impulse in her heart.

On the balcony, Su Yian opened the window and listened to Mu Qianxun's voice.

"Did something happen in the Hundred Schools War?" Mu Qianxun's voice sounded a little weak: "The cabinet just called and said that the Yu Zhaohui I recommended is a waste who has failed to achieve anything and is prone to failure. Judging from his tone, Mr. Zuo Xiang is very angry."

"Sister Xun, are they too unreasonable? It's obviously Yu Zhaohui's own problem. He failed to fulfill his responsibilities and caused so many problems in the Hundred Schools War. Besides, Sister Xun, you don't have the right to appoint or remove. It's strange, I blame myself for not being able to read people accurately." Su Yian's tone sounded very relaxed.

Mu Qianxun chuckled: "Did you do this? I know you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

"It's unfair, Sister Xun. This time it really has nothing to do with me." Su Yian smiled and said, "It's because Yu Zhaohui was too confident in his own ability, and this problem happened."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Have you reached the Intermediate Level 3 now?" Mu Qianxun continued: "Thanks to you for reaching the Intermediate Level 3 this time, otherwise there would be really some trouble over there at the Gate. ”

Hearing this, Su Yian suppressed the smile on his face: "Is it getting worse? Sister Xun, when do you think the next time will be?"

"The frequency is getting higher and higher, and the next one will probably be half a year."

"Half a year is shorter than I thought..." Su Yian's expression was a little solemn: "Can we replenish the manpower within half a year?"

"It's difficult." Mu Qianxun sighed: "Although the world is not peaceful now, there are many fewer wars than before. The consequence of the comfortable environment is that magicians are not so motivated."

"You also know that the harsher the environment, the more potential a magician can be unleashed. However, the current environment is far from being able to cultivate good enough magicians. After you left, you have seen arrivals in the top ten magic academies in the country. A genius in that field?”

"No." Su Yian replied: "I have not discovered Huangfu Tiange, Ouyang Yuanqing and others. Ouyang Yuanqing has definitely not reached that level, but I don't know about Huangfu Tiange. He is even more difficult to see through than Ouyang Yuanqing. "

"So it's even more difficult for the military to find someone who can reach that field." Mu Qianxun's voice was full of fatigue: "Now this place can only be supported by a few of us, and it's becoming more and more difficult. Your current situation is special and you cannot come back..."

Su Yian's expression gradually became serious as he listened to Mu Qianxun's words. The severity of the situation was beyond his imagination, and there was only one way to solve this problem, and that was to improve his strength.

After thinking about this, he said in a deep voice: "Sister Xun, I understand the seriousness of the matter. Before the next loosening comes, I will definitely improve my strength to another level. Don't worry."

"Of course I believe you. I know your talent, but don't act too hastily. I finally found a way for you to practice again, so you can't give up halfway."

"Yes." Su Yian responded, and then said: "By the way, Sister Xun, you told me before that you found the way to the third floor from the second ruins. What is the specific situation now?"

"Wait a moment."

As he said that, Su Yian heard Mu Qianxun calling for someone to investigate. After the two chatted for ten minutes, Mu Qianxun continued: "The solution has indeed been found, but the cabinet did not leak any relevant information. I don’t know the specific method, how about I help you ask?”

"You don't need to owe the cabinet any favors." Su Yian said: "I haven't been to the second ruins yet. Give me the information on the first and second floors. If you go there in the future, you can be prepared in advance."

"After?" Mu Qianxun grasped the key point in Su Yian's tone: "If I remember correctly, you will start school on February 25th. There is still some time before school starts. Don't you plan to go there during these few days?"

"I'm planning to go to the Northwest Province now. There's something going on there, and I have to go there and deal with it."

"Northwest?" Mu Qianxun said: "The location of the second ruins is in Xiadong Province, next to the Northwest Province. If you have time, you can stop by and take a look."

"If you have time."

"Okay, there's nothing else to do for now, I'll hang up first. Sister, I need to take care of myself for a while." Mu Qianxun's voice returned to its lazy state, and even through the phone, it still made Su Yian feel numb.

After hanging up the phone, he walked out of the balcony and saw Su Yige looking down at the wall, her hands tangled together, like a little girl who had been wronged.

After a slight start, Su Yian roughly knew what was going on, so he walked over and patted Su Yige's head gently: "Yige, next time I go there, you come with me, I'll take you to see them."

"Who?" Su Yige raised her head and asked.

"Sister Xun, Mu Qianxun, and a few others... who seem great to me." Su Yian smiled slightly: "Let Yige see these people who are unknown but have dedicated their lives."

"Really?" Su Yige suddenly turned from sadness to joy, and said excitedly.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Su Yian chuckled: "It's good for you to see more different scenery in this world."

"Yeah!" Su Yige's face was no longer gloomy, and he happily hugged Su Yian.

"Okay, I have to leave." Su Yian patted Su Yige on the back: "Take care of yourself when I'm not around."

"I'm not a child." Su Yige snorted.

Watching her brother get in the car and gradually disappear from sight, Su Yige restrained the smile on her face, and after a flash of hesitation, her face finally turned into determination.

She took out her mobile phone, dialed a number, took a deep breath and said, "I accept." After that, she hung up the phone.

...

The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses listened to the "beep" sound on the other end of the phone, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Dad, what makes you so happy?" The young man sitting on the chair to the left of the middle-aged man asked curiously. How long has it been since he saw his father's smile so comfortable, as if he had fulfilled some wish?

"It's your sister."

"Yi Ge?" When the young man mentioned Su Yi Ge, his expression was relieved: "Yi Ge called, what did she say to make you so happy?"

"She said that she accepted it." The middle-aged man stood up and stretched: "After so long, I finally got her response."

The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that she has figured out a lot of things by following her cousin Yi An."

"Yes." The middle-aged man smiled: "Yi An is a child who is far superior to you guys in vision and character, so this is why I agreed to Yi Ge to go to the southeast."

"Yi Ge is the most talented among you, but she has not fully discovered it. What she lacks is calmness and a sense of the overall situation when encountering things. "

"Following Yi An, she can gradually improve her shortcomings. As long as she improves her shortcomings, she will be the first among the younger generation!"

"And now that she has agreed to accept it, her progress will only be faster..." The middle-aged man was overjoyed as he spoke: "Yi Chen, you are leaving for Linnan City now to complete the handover with Yi Ge. During this time, you should teach her the relevant matters carefully so that she can have a comprehensive understanding."

"Okay." Su Yi Chen nodded, got up and walked out of the room.

Looking at the rising sun hanging in the east, Su Yichen smiled: "I can finally rest."

"Brother!" A young man came over: "Why are you smiling so happily?"

Su Yichen looked at the young man, and the smile on his lips was restrained a little: "You are in a hurry. Did something happen?"

Su Maoxing sighed: "Family discipline."

"What trouble did you cause again?" Su Yichen frowned: "This is the fourth time this month."

Su Maoxing's eyes flickered, and he couldn't speak. Su Yichen snorted coldly: "Can you stop smearing the Su family? I'm going out these few days. If I come back and hear that you are causing trouble again, don't blame me, your brother, for being merciless!"

"You want to go out?" Su Maoxing's voice was excited. Knowing that his tone was wrong, he quickly changed his words: "Brother, where are you going?"

"To Linnan." Su Yichen's eyes drooped slightly.

"Linnan?" Su Maoxing suddenly realized: "Are you going to find that troublemaker Su Yian?"

"Brother, why are you looking for that troublemaker? If it weren't for him, would the Su family have fallen to this point?" Su Maoxing frowned and said, his words were full of dissatisfaction and anger towards Su Yian.

"You still hate him so much?"

"Brother, don't you hate him? If it weren't for him, the elders in the family actually hate him. If it weren't for him, our Su family would have been the most powerful magic family. How could we have fallen to the point of living in secret now?"

Su Yichen patted Su Maoxing on the shoulder: "What you said makes sense..."

"Right!" Su Maoxing said proudly: "That kind of person should be expelled from the Su family directly. He is a disaster!"

Seeing that Su Maoxing was about to talk non-stop, Su Yichen interrupted him directly: "Hurry up and take the family punishment. I have to leave quickly too."

"Okay, brother, take care!" Su Maoxing said hurriedly. Watching Su Yichen walk away, he said, "Finally, I can be free for a while!"

...

On the flight to Qingding City, the capital of Northwest Province, Su Yian sat in the window seat and closed his eyes for a nap.

At a certain moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"What a fate! I didn't expect that we would meet again on the plane."

Su Yian opened his eyes and looked at the smiling woman beside him.

"Sister Mu." Su Yian was a little surprised.

The woman sitting next to him was Mu Zijin, whom he had met three times. The first time was on the plane to Liuyangjiao, the second time was when they met by chance on the streets of Kunyang City, the capital of Jingnan Province, and this time was the third time.

"Sister Mu, are you going to Qingding City too?" Su Yian became interested.

Mu Zijin nodded and admitted: "Yes, I plan to travel there to change my mood. The desert scenery there is unique."

"Every time I see you, Sister Mu, I feel that you live a very easy life. It's really enviable." Su Yian joked.

"No way." Mu Zijin rolled her eyes at Su Yian: "And this is depressing. Without the hard work when I was young, how could I have the life I have now, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Yian nodded: "If you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old."

"What about you, are you going to travel too?" Mu Zijin asked with a smile.

"Yes." Su Yian said, "But I'm not going to see the scenery of the desert, I want to see the murals?"

Mu Zijin nodded, and then said, "I saw your performance in the Hundred Schools Tournament. I didn't expect you to be so good."

"But what makes me most curious is that you are Beiming Zhiyao's boyfriend, and Chu Anlan from Shuiyun Magic Academy also has a special liking for you..."

"You are quite popular." Mu Zijin said with a smile: "Even Huangfu Tiange's limelight has been overshadowed by you."

"Sister Mu, you are also paying attention to the Hundred Schools Tournament." Su Yian said: "There is a real relationship between Zhiyao and me."

"I didn't say it was fake." Mu Zijin's eyes drifted from Su Yian's face to the blue sky and white clouds outside the window: "I'm just a little surprised that a girl like Beiming Zhiyao was chased by you in such a short time..."

"What a fate..." Mu Zijin thought silently in his heart.

"Sister Mu, what are you thinking about? So absent-minded?" Su Yian stretched out his hand and waved in front of Mu Zijin's eyes.

Mu Zijin came back to his senses: "I was wondering how you managed to get Bei Ming Zhiyao."

"I got her after a while."

"That's really amazing."

"Sister Mu, your husband never accompanies you on your trip."

"He's very busy." Mu Zijin's eyes softened: "He's also amazing."

Su Yian smiled, it's true that a lover's eyes see beauty in everything, the outside world doesn't think so highly of Bei Mingze.
