BXBX NOVEL Chapter 196 - 196: Merely a Mid-Level Sixth-Rank Expert
Su Qian crossed her arms and asked curiously, “I’ve only returned to the imperial capital not long ago, so I really don’t know. 1 wonder if the sub-branch Pavilion Master can introduce me?”
“Just as Madam said, the Longhu Fortress is an impregnable fortress with 30,000 elite soldiers stationed inside. It is the closest fortress to the imperial capital and has always been heavily guarded. Not even a fly can enter. Even a fifth-rank expert would not dare to trespass.” Qi Yao’s expression turned cold as he continued, “Furthermore, the most important thing is that the General of the City Guard at Longhu Fortress is a mid-level sixth-rank expert!”
“He’s not to be trifled with…” Ji Wanwan’s mouth twitched when she heard that the other party was actually a mid-level sixth-rank expert.
For a middle-level sixth-rank expert, splitting mountains and rocks was just a piece of cake.
“Yes,” Qi Yao took a deep breath and said as if he had made up his mind, “Please, Miss Su, refine a fifth-grade elixir for me. Even if I become a cripple, 1’11 accept my fate.”
“Husband…” Lady Liuhua could not help but sob, but she could not persuade Qi Yao. In the end, she could only remain silent.
“Previously, Wanwan gave me the Qilin Celestial Vine to save my daughter. In order to repay me, 1 naturally have to cure the sub-branch Pavilion Master, so I will definitely go to the Longhu Fortress.” Su Qian asserted confidently with a proud smile, “Moreover, a mere mid-level sixth-rank expert poses no threat. It’s not a big deal.”
After saying that, Su Qian instructed Qi Yao to rest well and left the room in big strides.
“What did Miss Su say just now? Just a ‘mere mid-level sixth-rank expert’?” Lady Liuhua’s lips twitched as she asked in shock, “Could it be that Miss Su is also a peak sixth-rank expert?”
“Do you think peak sixth-rank experts are as common as cabbages in the market? Is there a true saying?” Qi Yao sighed and quickly called out to Ji Wanwan, “Wanwan, go chase after Miss Su. You have to persuade her no matter what. Your uncle’s life should have been gone fifteen years ago. Now that I can keep my life, I don’t expect anything else. You must not let Miss Su take the risk. Otherwise, if anything happens, we will ruin Miss Su’s life.”
Qi Yao had never seen a young expert like Su Qian before. He was certain that Su Qian would definitely have greater achievements in the future, so he could not let Su Qian risk her life for him.
“Uncle, don’t worry. I know what to do.” Ji Wanwan left after she finished speaking.
“Sigh, I hope Wanwan can persuade Miss Su.” After saying that, Qi Yao coughed twice in worry.
“Don’t worry, husband. I can tell that Miss Su and Wanwan have a good relationship. If they can become good friends in the future, we don’t have to worry about Wanwan.” Lady Liuhua gently supported Qi Yao as he lay down. “We’ve talked for quite a while. Husband, you should lie down and rest.”
“Okay…” Qi Yao held Lady Liuhua’s hand, kissed the back of it tenderly, and finally closed his eyes to sleep.
Time flew. Night fell.
Su Qian changed into a set of night attire and prepared some necessary items for infiltrating Longhu Fortress.
It was only past nine o’clock in the evening. If she rushed to Longhu Fortress now, she should be able to arrive at three o’clock in the morning.
At that time, the sky was not bright, and it was the time when people were in deep sleep. Sneaking into the Longhu Fortress would undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort.
As she thought about it, Su Qian made her preparations and opened the door. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a figure outside the door that surprised her..
