Chapter: 6671
Yang Chen smiled and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Miss Cloud, this time in Morocco, I destroyed one of the White Cloister's bases and accidentally met a young woman who resembles you - she's a petty official from the Right Military Commandery, only twenty-something years old, yet has already achieved enlightenment."
"What? Twenty-something years old and already enlightened?" Song Yulu was shocked and blurted out, "The Right Military Commandery actually has such a genius... How come I never heard of it before..."
Yang Chen said, "This person is a distant relative of the Wu family, a prodigy that even Wu Feiyun pays close attention to. She's similar to you in having this kind of poison inside her, and she's already decided to serve me. However, I don't have any tasks for her to do, so I plan to let her settle down in Jinling when the time comes. If you're interested, we can get to know each other then and see if we can become friends."
"Ah!" Song Yulu said with some expectation, "A genius like that must have her own insights in cultivating herself, and exchanging ideas with someone like that could bring a huge boost to oneself. Additionally, our circumstances are similar, so it's like we're destined to understand each other."
Yang Chen nodded, saying, "So I'll let someone bring her here when the time comes, and then introduce you two to each other."
As he spoke, Yang Chen added, "Oh, by the way, her name is Song Ruyu, which is similar to yours."
"Song Ruyu... " Song Yulu smiled slightly, "Her name really does match mine, so it's like we have a connection."
As she finished speaking, Song Yulu asked Yang Chen, "Mr. Yang, don't you think it would be convenient for me to ask about your progress this time in Africa?"
Yang Chen nodded, recounting his experiences in Africa in detail.
Song Yulu listened intently, clapping her hands in excitement as he reached the climax of his story. After hearing Song Ruyu's story, she couldn't help but sigh: "Wu Feiyun's controlling nature is indeed unpredictable - this woman hasn't even met Song Ruyu yet, and she's already fed poison into her mouth, just to make sure she doesn't slip out of control."
Yang Chen said, "The entire White Cloister has no one who isn't under the influence of poison, except for Wu family members. However, even without poison, they have very strong controlling power over Wu Feiyun. Not only that, but all those soldiers and cavalrymen under their management number in the tens of thousands, and these people aren't actually controlled by them - they're controlled by Wu Feiyun herself. If these people don't listen to her orders, she'll just cut them off and let them die without a proper burial - if any member of the Wu family has different thoughts, all their subordinates will turn against them."
Song Yulu agreed, saying: "Wu Feiyun is essentially a female version of Emperor Chongzhen - besides herself, no one else is believed by her. No one can escape her control."
"As she was saying that, she added: 'It's lucky Song Yulu hasn't met Wu Feiyun yet; otherwise, Wu Feiyun would definitely set up a trap for her in her poison-filled palace.'"
"Yang Chen said: 'At present, Wu Feiyun's greatest threat is the lack of antidote, so I hope you two can stay together and thoroughly research the operating principles and underlying logic of this deadly venom within your bodies. After all, you are both poisoned people, and there are many feelings only you can discover if you can figure out the nature of the problem.'"
"Itoina Naiko has not returned to Japan since moving with her father to Jining."
"Originally, Yang Chen had agreed to accompany her to see the four seasons in Japan, but unexpectedly, plans were changed, and Itona Naiko directly chose to settle down in Jining. However, Yang Chen never forgot this promise and intended to pay her a visit when he went to Tokyo tomorrow."
"Since that day of enlightenment, Itona Naiko spent most of her time at the Xianghe Temple, where the environment was serene and suitable for solitary meditation and introspection."
"After the entire Half Mountain Villa was cleared out, Yang Chen gave one of the buildings to Itona Naiko, who came here almost every day to meditate and then returned to Wuchen's residence in the evening to accompany her father, Ito Yohei."
"Yang Chen bid farewell to Yun like a cloud and immediately drove over to see Itona Naiko after giving her a call. Upon learning that she was at Half Mountain Villa, he sped over right away."
"Itona Naiko learned that Yang Chen was coming and was thrilled, wearing an pale pink kimono as she came out to the courtyard to wait."
"The mountain weather was severe, with cold winds blowing against her face, making it slightly reddish and adding a few degrees of cuteness.
Yang Chen parked his car and saw her first sentence: 'How can you go out dressed so lightly in such cold weather?'
Cai Cai held up both hands in front of her body, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: 'Lord Yang Chen, it's been a long time!'
She finished speaking and laughed, saying with a chuckle: 'The room is warm, and being out for just a moment doesn't feel cold at all. And since I've achieved enlightenment, my physical quality has become stronger, and I no longer fear the cold.'
Yang Chen nodded his head and smiled: 'Mainly because of today's temperature drop, and then I forgot you'd already achieved enlightenment, so this coldness is nothing much to worry about.' JrNovels.com
