Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1724: Chapter 1724

Qi Wen cupped his hands, ”Thank you, Lord Sun.”

The madam only accepted twenty taels of Silver upon hearing the news, truly fond of and protective of this girl.

On their way back, ”Who is this girl?”

”Someone from Xuantian Sect who vanished during the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.”

Even if they are on good terms, there won’t be any mention of having anything to do with his father.

”I see. This woman should be said to have a stroke of good fortune. She was originally supposed to vanish, but being able to reincarnate means her future days should be smooth.”

”Hmm, so let’s help her a bit.”

Thus, this matter passed, and by the end of the year, the Zhang Family’s three members had their servitude removed, becoming ordinary people now.

In truth, the luckiest thing for a servant is for their master to remove their servitude. Although they still can’t participate in the imperial examination, their next generation can.

Because Meng Po wanted to make a grand spectacle, she could only find a way.

The two still stayed by the Emperor’s side every day. They knew the Emperor’s movements best.

They also knew clearly that the Emperor had already found the person who wanted to assassinate him.

Both were very curious as to why the Emperor hadn’t taken action. As they knew, the Imperial family is most heartless, so there must be a reason, definitely not familial affection.

Another year passed, and the two had been here for eight years now.

Gu Ersheng couldn’t hold it any longer and directly sent a message to Meng Po.

”Alright, alright, Golden Immortal, don’t be anxious, we’ll definitely leave this year.”

Gu Ersheng truly had no choice. He was tired of playing and didn’t want to return. Tan Qiyan might be getting anxious too. These two willful girls were really hard to predict.

Qi Wen was also a bit anxious, ”Let’s hurry and return. If Qi Hao and Qi Xuan haven’t reached Mahayana, we’ll go out again. After they reach Mahayana, they need to repair the Ascension Channel.”

”Alright, isn’t the Emperor working on it? By February at the Halloween festival, when the dukes from various places come over, he should take action. When the time comes, we should make some noise, isn’t that grand enough?”

Qi Wen reluctantly agreed, as she had already thought it through.

Meng Po was right; the Emperor indeed started to arrange things.

The two adhered to the principle of seeing through but not exposing, pretending as if they knew nothing.

Good news arrived on the fifteenth of the first month, that Marquis Ye’s second wife was pregnant. But before the Marquis Mansion could rejoice, the second young master surprisingly ran away.

This was a grave crime. The Emperor had already decreed no one could leave, so how did Ye Liangkun manage to escape?

This was the responsibility of the Ye Mansion. The investigation revealed that it was the eldest young master of Ye Mansion who let Ye Liangkun go.

”Ye Liangyu’s move of using a borrowed knife to kill is pretty clever.”

”People are always this selfish. Of course, Ye Liangyu wants revenge. He’s just a cripple now; only this way can Ye Liangkun have no way out.”

”How could Ye Liangkun not know? He’s now desperate, which could mean a cornered dog might leap over a wall. We should be careful; you wouldn’t want your grand spectacle to end with your death, that would be too unfortunate.”

”Heh, with the Golden Immortal here, there’s no problem.”

”He wishes we would return now.”

”Then I must hurry, Qi Wen. After returning, I will diligently practice swordsmanship. In the future, we will roam the Divine Realm with our swords.”

”Then you must strive hard.”

”Of course, now I understand the advantage you Sword Cultivators have.”

Indeed, Qi Wen was right; Ye Liangkun came out to kill them both, having already thought it through. Rather than suffer humiliation like this, it would be better to go out for revenge. Even if killing them meant his death, it would be worth it.

After coming out, penniless, he knew where his mother was and could only go to seek refuge.

Mrs. Wang almost died of anger seeing her son.

”Are you stupid? Coming out, you have no way to live. For you, I now have nothing, but still, I have no regrets, thinking that a good death is better than a bad life, letting you finish this life.”

”Living like this, I’d rather die. Those two beasts roam free, I can’t stomach the anger.”

”Why do you think about them? They’ve already ruined their bodies. Who knows how long they’ll live? The one who lives long is the final victor.”

”Mother, I can’t wait any longer. I can’t bear another day of this life.”

Mrs. Wang had no choice now. ”Quickly hide in the cellar. They will definitely search here.”

”Mother, I don’t want to be locked up anymore.”

”But you must get through this period. Go live somewhere far away. Change your name and live freely.”

She had thought this through, wanting to save her son. But later, she realized that living like this would mean hiding for a lifetime.

But now there’s no choice; her plan was indeed useful.

Soldiers really did come to search, and Mrs. Wang just sat there motionless, waiting for them to search.

Of course, they returned empty-handed, but the hunt for Ye Liangkun outside had not ceased.

January passed, February’s Halloween festival, the dukes from other places still had to come to pay homage.

The Capital City was bustling once again, and the two Lord Yes received invitations from all the dukes.

This time, they did not refuse any invite, they would definitely attend if invited.

On Halloween, the entire Capital City was filled with festivity.

The two still stayed by the Emperor’s side.

Everything went smoothly, and Qi Wen could already feel the Emperor’s tension. It seemed the main event was still to come.

On the way back from the audience, there were many people on both sides of the road. There were also many guards, all afraid something dangerous could happen at this time.

The two exchanged a glance; it seemed today was the day.

Among the crowd, Ye Liangkun looked at those two whom he’d bullied since childhood, filled with hate. Why did they get to have their current status? They should have always groveled under his feet.

He knew this time he would succeed. Someone was helping him, promising to kill these two, and he wouldn’t be found out; he was assured that arrangements had been made for him, his identity was secured.

What was there to be afraid of? Just ahead was their burial ground.

Ye Liangkun was now so excited he couldn’t stand still.

Qi Wen knew there was danger, and although they were leaving this time, they wouldn’t let their enemies succeed.

Meng Po also understood the situation ahead. She had been waiting for this.

Suddenly, a guard in front fell, causing chaos there.

The two immediately surrounded the Emperor, sending someone ahead to examine the situation.

At this moment, Ye Liangkun was the closest to the Emperor. Holding a knife, he charged forward. Though the defense was weak, it wasn’t something Ye Liangkun’s meager skills could break through.

But a few people surrounded the guards, allowing Ye Liangkun to break through.

How could Qi Wen allow him to get close? Though she couldn’t kill him, knocking him unconscious was no problem. With just two strikes, Ye Liangkun fell, his face full of resentment and hatred.
