Chapter: 5477

Old Zhang nodded in agreement, his excitement tempered only by a hint of trepidation as he asked: "Miss, Mr. Yè is indeed a remarkable individual. If he truly can work with him to uncover the locations of those soldiers and turn them against the Clear River Society, the Clear River Society will be doomed!"

~@~ The time left for you is running out.

"What's that?"

Lín Wánér heard these four words and laughed, shaking her head in self-mockery: "Those soldiers and cavalry guards are nothing but the bottom layer of the Clear River Society. They don't even count as middle-level personnel."

As she spoke, Lín Wánér continued: "The true core and strong foundation of the Clear River Society is actually the Five Military Commandery's commandery and the close associates around him. They are kin to the emperor and have a deep connection with him. No one can betray them, and among the many high-ranking officials cultivated by the Tiger Guard over the years, half or more are from the Five Military Commandery. Who knows how many top-tier talents the Five Military Commandery has in reserve?"

"Furthermore, no one knows how many high-ranking officials the emperor has around him either. The four major earls may have only three remaining, but they are merely the four top-tier talents released by the emperor from his side. Only the emperor himself knows if there are any other capable individuals beside them."

"So, even if all the dead soldiers and Tiger Guard officials are betrayed, the Clear River Society's capabilities will still not be underestimated."

Old Zhang nodded, respectfully saying: "Miss said it's right; I was too optimistic... "

Lín Wánér smiled and said: "Optimism is nothing to worry about. After all, this should be the biggest crisis that the Clear River Society has faced since its founding. Ye Čén didn't just destroy one of the dead soldiers' bases; he turned the entire base's strength into his own power. This kind of enemy-elimination-may-enhance-my-strength situation is very favorable to him if he can quietly consolidate and continuously dismantle the Clear River Society, tile. I believe it won't take long for him to gain the ability to face the Clear River Society head-on and completely eliminate it."

Old Zhang sighed: "I hope this Mr. Ye will be able to do what Miss expects of him."

"He will," Lín Wánér whispered a smile, then rolled up her left sleeve with her right hand in the inkstone, smiling sideways at him. "Do you have any other business to report? If not, I'll continue drawing; before school starts, I need to finish this painting entirely."

Old Zhang said: "Report back to Miss; I don't have any other business to report if there's no further instruction. I'll just take my leave then."

Lín Wánér nodded and smiled: "Alright, go ahead. Don't contact the lines for a few days; I'm afraid the emperor will use this opportunity to purge the internal affairs, and in such a situation where everyone is silent, anyone still contacting the outside world would be too easy to catch out."

Old Zhang immediately said: "Yes, Miss! From now on, I won't have any contact with the lines. I'll wait for your notification."

"Good." Lín Wánér nodded: "Go ahead. By the way, go tell Old Qiu that I want some fresh flowers and pastries, let someone buy some from Yunnan and bring them back to me, please."

Old Zhang hurriedly bowed: "Yes, Miss! I'll go talk to Old Qiu right away; I'll take my leave now."

After Old Zhang left, Lín Wánér gazed at the painting before her and couldn't help but murmur softly: "Mr. Ye, wait until I finish this painting, then we'll probably meet again soon!"

...

At this moment, Mr. Ye was driving through Zijin Mountain.

He had just left White Gold Palace and was planning to visit someone's house.

This time, he wanted to invite all the family members to participate in training, so they could also improve their overall abilities during this opportunity.

However, he didn't know that the mysterious girl he had saved earlier was currently standing within a distance of less than two kilometers straight ahead on Zijin Mountain's peak.

Mr. Ye arrived at He Family and everyone came out to greet him together.

Old Master He Hongsheng walked forward, knelt down in front of Mr. Ye, and said respectfully: "I didn't know you were coming to visit today, so I wasn't able to come out to welcome you; please forgive me!"

In his heart, there was a deep sense of gratitude towards Mr. Ye. JrNovels.com
