Return to the City: The Strongest King

Although there's no concrete method for now, Sun Yiyi is quite happy and laughed, "Xianling, look at you. This time you watched your husband getting cozy with another woman and came up with such a great idea. If you were involved yourself, who knows what fun ideas you might come up with."

Chu Xianling's mind suddenly recalled the spicy scene just now, and her body slightly heated up, "I just felt the operation and fusion of your True Qi; this should be something you overlooked, not something I came up with."

Sun Yiyi laughed and said, "Many great inventions and creations in this world are actually about finding things others didn't notice. But speaking of which, it might be because you're not truly involved, that you could discover the problem at this time. When together with our husband, aside from Dual Cultivation, we only focus on enjoyment and can't think of much else."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Yiyi's right; it should be something like this."

Chu Xianling smiled slightly and said, "Since you're all praising me, I'll accept it. It seems I really need to restrain myself and stay longer in the perspective of an observer."

Sun Yiyi burst into laughter and said, "I say, Xianling, now you've learned how to keep people in suspense. You are such a girl that I can't help but want to make a move on you. Truly it's hard for our husband now to just look and not eat."

Chu Xianling gave a light laugh and said, "No problem, since you sisters are around, he has plenty to enjoy."

Now Chu Xianling can joke a little bit suggestively, especially with Sun Yiyi. If she couldn't joke, she'd really be bullied to death by Sun Yiyi.

Song Xiaodong's phone rang; it was from a protector.

Generally, without important matters, a protector wouldn't directly call Song Xiaodong, so he immediately answered.

"Young Master, we found Miss Qingluan's whereabouts." As soon as the call connected, the protector's urgent voice came through.

"Where is she?" Though Song Xiaodong's voice remained typical, his pace unwittingly sped up.

"Currently in Melbourne, Australia, and accompanied by only one Dark Night Sect Elder. But there, we have very few Dragon Gate people."

Song Xiaodong pondered for a moment and said, "Keep tracking them. Don't lose sight of them. Also, don't let the Dark Night Sect discover you. Find out the purpose of their trip and the Dark Night Sect's setup in Melbourne."

After hanging up the phone, Song Xiaodong was softly tapping the phone's screen with his finger, eyes narrowed, saying nothing.

Sun Yiyi and Chu Xianling already knew Qingluan's identity. When Song Xiaodong reopened his eyes, Chu Xianling said, "I fear things won't be so simple; I'm worried this might be another trap from the Dark Night Sect."

Sun Yiyi nodded and said, "Right, I also feel something's fishy about this. You guys already took down a Dark Night Sect Elder last time, and now the Dark Night Sect must be scheming to deal with us. Qingluan is crucial to them, and knowing we'll act against them, their moves will surely be cautious."

Chu Xianling shook her head slowly and said, "Yes, the Dark Night Sect certainly knows we're looking for ways to weaken their power, but they don't know Qingluan's true identity, so they won't expect us to fully target Qingluan's identity. This might actually be an opportunity."

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Regarding Qingluan, the Dark Night Sect is bound to know. However, they likely don't know Qingluan is the Dragon Gate Princess."

"Why do you say that?" Chu Xianling and Sun Yiyi looked at Song Xiaodong in confusion.

Song Xiaodong said, "I believe among Dragon Gate protectors and Elders, there are no Dark Night Sect insiders. But among the warriors, I'm not 100% sure, let alone the Dragon Gate young disciples outside. Dragon Gate has mobilized too many people to investigate Qingluan, so the Dark Night Sect undoubtedly received the news. Therefore, this must be a trap."

Pausing a moment, Song Xiaodong continued, "In Australia, in fact, the Dark Night Sect's setup there isn't very strong. Places like that are more likely to give Dragon Gate a chance to act. How could they instead reduce the protection over Qingluan?"

Chu Xianling nodded and said, "If that's truly the case, it further confirms it's a trap."

Sun Yiyi waved her hand and said, "Since we know it's a trap, let's just ignore it, make their entire setup futile."

Song Xiaodong shook his head with a smile and said, "This isn't a conspiracy from the Dark Night Sect, but rather an open strategy. They want to see how we respond, to test if Dragon Gate has the courage and strength to resist them head-on. If we don't respond, it only shows Dragon Gate fears the Dark Night Sect."

Chu Xianling contemplated and said, "This is almost like a challenge. They're openly stating that no matter how important Dragon Gate is, it's far inferior to Dark Night Sect. So those who plan to use Dragon Gate's Force for their agenda should reconsider this idea."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Exactly. If Dragon Gate wants to rise, we can't refuse this challenge, and we must not lose. Winning this will greatly enhance Dragon Gate's unity and reputation."

Sun Yiyi frowned and said, "But Dragon Gate's strength is far weaker compared to the Dark Night Sect, right? It's fine to play dirty tricks, but accepting this open challenge poses huge risks. There's a saying, 'As long as the green mountains remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood.' Dragon Gate has endured for over twenty years. Is one more time a big deal?"

Song Xiaodong shook his head, "I understand the risks. My plan isn't to knowingly jump into the trap. If we can devise a counter strategy to play the Dark Night Sect again, wouldn't that be better?"

Sun Yiyi gave Song Xiaodong a sidelong glance, "Talking as if it's simple. They've already dug various pits. Would you have a chance to climb out once you fall in?"

Chu Xianling hurriedly said, "Yiyi, I feel Xiaodong's words aren't entirely unreasonable. Your comments seem a bit... harsh."

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "I know Yiyi speaks like this for my sake, I won't mind. I'm not stubborn; with so many of you, why would I easily risk sending myself to death? I just have this thought, and now it's up to us to come up with a good plan."
