Chapter 73

Yeqiu wasn't the first time he had heard the name "Jiugiansui."

Yesterday evening at the Crystal Palace, he had heard Emperor Xiao Qing mention it. At that time, Yeqiu noticed that the Dragon King's expression was very serious, as if he was very afraid of this Jiugiansui.

"Dragon King, who exactly is this Jiugiansui?" Yeqiu asked.

"He is the leader of Longmen." The Dragon King replied.

"Longmen?"

Yeqiu was even more puzzled; it was the first time he had heard of this organization.

The Dragon King said, "Longmen was established less than half a year ago, and it has already subdued the underground forces in fourteen provinces in the north. The spokesperson of Longmen is Jiugiansui."

Sigh—

Yeqiu drew in a sharp breath.

Jiugiansui had become the leader of the underground world in fourteen provinces in the north in less than half a year, which showed how terrifying this person was.

As the leader of the underground forces in Jiangzhou, the Dragon King was like a small wizard compared to Jiugiansui.

No wonder the Dragon King was so afraid of Jiugiansui.

The Dragon King continued, "Jiugiansui's goal is not just the fourteen provinces in the north; he wants to unify the entire underground forces of Huaguo."

"Before, people used to laugh at Jiugiansui, thinking he was just a dreamer, as no one had achieved this in thousands of years."

"But, Jiugiansui used just half a year to subdue the underground forces in the fourteen provinces in the north with a thunderous force, making those who laughed at him shut their mouths."

"Next, Jiugiansui will start sweeping through the south."

"Jiangzhou, as the largest city in central Huaguo, is Jiugiansui's next target."

"If it were in the past, I could have just submitted, and Jiugiansui, who is fair in rewards and punishments, would not have made things difficult for me. But now, even submission might not allow me to escape unscathed."

Yeqiu immediately understood and asked, "Is it because of Emperor Xiao Qing?"

"Exactly." The Dragon King said, "The Purple Gold Token is the symbol of the leader of Longmen. Seeing the token is like seeing the leader. Emperor Xiao Qing came to me with the Purple Gold Token to deliver a message, but I not only did not listen, I also let him get seriously injured on my territory. Jiugiansui will definitely investigate this matter."

"Similarly, you injured Emperor Xiao Qing, and Jiugiansui will not let you off either."

"The worst part is, I just received news that Jiugiansui was attacked in Jiangzhou last night."

"Attacked?" Yeqiu was surprised.

The Dragon King said solemnly, "I just received the news that five of Jiugiansui's guards died last night, and his adopted son was seriously injured, whether he is dead or alive is still unclear, but Jiugiansui is fine."

"Given Jiugiansui's style, Jiangzhou will definitely change, so leaving Jiangzhou now is the only option."

The Dragon King said to Yeqiu, "Hurry home and pack. Meet your mother and Zhao Yun at the airport at noon and leave Huaguo."

"Where to?" Yeqiu asked.

"Australia."

Yeqiu fell silent.

The Dragon King could see that Yeqiu did not want to leave and continued to persuade, "Jiugiansui has a vast influence. If you hide in the country, he will find you soon. Therefore, leaving the country is the best choice."

Zhao Yun also advised, "The Dragon King has already arranged everything. You don't need to worry about food, clothing, housing, or transportation abroad."

"I'm not worried about that; I just don't want to go abroad." Yeqiu said.

"Why?"

The Dragon King and Zhao Yun were puzzled.

"I want to find my biological father." Yeqiu said solemnly.

To this day, he still did not know who his biological father was, which was a heartache for Yeqiu.

He wanted to find his biological father and ask why he abandoned them when they were young.

Why did he not contact them for so many years?

Of course, his biological father might have died long ago.

But no matter what, Yeqiu had to find him, alive or dead!

The Dragon King said, "You can tell me about your father, and I will send people to help you find him."

"Dragon King, don't fool me. You are in trouble yourself, how can you help me find my father?" Yeqiu said, "You don't need to persuade me anymore. I won't go abroad, and I don't think my mother wants to go abroad either."

"But..."

"Life and death are predetermined, and wealth and status are in the hands of heaven. You don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Alas..." Seeing Yeqiu's firm attitude, the Dragon King sighed deeply.

Zhao Yun did not give up and said, "Yeqiu, we can think of ways to find your father, but for now, saving your life is the priority. Come with me."

"Brother Zhao, thank you. I said it before, life and death are predetermined. You don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Zhao Yun was a bit angry.

"Alright, let Xiao Ye decide for himself." The Dragon King instructed Yeqiu, "Be very careful these few days."

"Okay." Yeqiu nodded, then asked, "Dragon King, have you ever met Jiugiansui?"

The Dragon King shook his head, "Never."

"Then do you know what kind of person he is?" Yeqiu asked again.

The Dragon King's face showed deep fear, and he said, "Unfathomable."

"Can you be more specific?"

"I have never met Jiugiansui, but from his actions, it can be seen that he is both cunning and heroic. If I had to describe him with one word, it would be 'warlord.'"

"Warlord? Like Cao Cao?"

"Yes! He is very similar to Cao Cao, both cunning and ruthless, yet extremely intelligent."

"Why is he called Jiugiansui?" Yeqiu always felt that the name Jiugiansui was not good. In the past, only those powerful eunuchs in the palace were called Jiugiansui.

The Dragon King said, "Because he is a eunuch."

What!

Yeqiu was shocked.

The leader of Longmen is a eunuch?

The Dragon King said, "It is rumored that when Jiugiansui was young, he loved a woman, and they loved each other. Later, the woman died, and Jiugiansui, losing his beloved, castrated himself to show that he would love only one person for life."

Yeqiu was speechless. No matter how much he loved a woman, he didn't need to castrate himself, right?

Could it be that Jiugiansui practiced some martial arts like the "Evil-Dispelling Sword Manual"?

"Dragon King, how is Jiugiansui's martial arts?"

"Jiugiansui does not know martial arts."

"No way!" Yeqiu said, "A person who doesn't know martial arts can subdue the underground forces in fourteen provinces in the north?"

"Lu Xun of the Three Kingdoms was just a scholar, but he could command thousands of troops, right?" The Dragon King said, "Jiugiansui may not know martial arts, but his talent and courage are among the best in the world. Even the Champion Prince Xiao Jiu and Bai Yujing admire him greatly."

"Who is Bai Yujing?" Yeqiu heard a new name and was curious.

"You don't know?" The Dragon King's eyes were a bit strange, as if he thought Yeqiu should know.

Yeqiu shook his head.

"Bai Yujing is the eldest grandson of the Bai family's patriarch in the capital, and he is known as one of the two great heroes of the world alongside the Champion Prince Xiao Jiu. He is also Bai Bing's cousin."

Damn—

Yeqiu was stunned.

"Alright, you can go now. When Jiugiansui comes, I also need to make some arrangements."

Yeqiu got out of the car.

Only when Zhao Yun started the car did he come to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Right, Dragon King, what is Jiugiansui's real name?"

"Cao Yuan!"
