214: Chapter 214 Shangguan Yanran

The secretary looked at King Fenghai and was momentarily stunned; he had rarely seen King Fenghai like this before.

"It has been investigated; something has happened at the Jiangcheng Barrier!"

Boom!

The words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, causing the corner of King Fenghai's mouth to twitch!

Not good; the thing he was most worried about in his heart had happened!

"A Marquis Realm Exotic Beast has appeared in the great river of the Jiangcheng Barrier and attacked the Jiangcheng Barrier."

A Marquis Realm Exotic Beast!

And it was in the great river.

King Fenghai's eyes were now gloomy to the extreme; he knew how difficult it was to deal with exotic beasts in the water, after all, when a Spirit Master entered the water, their combat power would be greatly weakened.

Not to mention a Marquis Realm Exotic Beast in the great river; even if Qian Tu entered the water, he would likely be unable to do anything to this exotic beast and would even be toyed with by it.

"How is Qian Tu? How is the Jiangcheng Barrier? What about the star of huaxia inside, and Ye Qing! Have Jing Yao and Jing Yue been investigated clearly?"

"What exactly happened?"

The secretary felt his scalp tingle as he listened; the situation was urgent, and he hadn't formed a report yet, as everything was in his head, and now he was frantically organizing his words.

"Overall, nothing happened to the Jiangcheng Barrier; only a very small number of people were killed or injured!"

Hmm?!

King Fenghai listened, his eyes filled with doubt. How was this possible? He had seen it with his own eyes just moments ago—blood was flowing in the great river outside!

The concentration of that blood, and its duration!

It couldn't possibly be caused by just a few casualties!

He spoke with the secretary.

Then, the secretary began to organize his words to explain.

He told the whole story.

After he finished speaking.

The secretary let out a long sigh, his mind still racing, recalling if there was anything he hadn't said.

After thinking for a long time, he was sure that there was nothing left unsaid.

Eh?

Why was it so quiet all around?

King Fenghai?

He looked at King Fenghai in front of him and saw that King Fenghai had fallen into a deep silence, his eyes even filled with shock and astonishment, as if he had gone numb.

This!

It was his first time seeing King Fenghai in such a state.

"King Fenghai? King Fenghai? Are you alright?" the secretary said softly as he approached him.

At this moment, King Fenghai's mind was filled with the situation he had just heard.

Gradually, the overall situation of this catastrophe at the Jiangcheng Barrier emerged in his mind.

The scene of Ye Qing freezing the great river and slaying the exotic beast seemed as if it were right before his eyes!

"How did this little guy grow to such a level in such a short time!" King Fenghai couldn't help but exclaim, and the secretary echoed him a few times!

King Fenghai thought about the first time he learned of Ye Qing; it was news sent by Marquis Ling Feng Li Xian, saying that a little guy had almost drained the blood pool formed by his slaying of the Black Water Flood Dragon.

In the blink of an eye.

"It seems I need to meet this little guy soon; after all, he is also my niece's husband."

King Fenghai thought, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face. He then picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Good!"

After finishing, he said to himself.

It gave the secretary a start.

However, the secretary understood immediately, "King Fenghai, this time, Ye Qing's achievements are too great; I'm afraid the headquarters will be shaken!"

"He didn't just slay an exotic beast in the water; he has provided us with great combat power in this area."

"Generally speaking, we used to rely on human wave tactics or dispatching an extremely powerful combat force to crush exotic beasts in the water, but if Ye Qing has such means, it will be much easier for us to deal with exotic beasts in the water in the future!"

"Correct."

King Fenghai nodded.

One night.

The news of the Jiangcheng Barrier spread like wildfire!

The Barriers downstream all knew about it.

Each city lord was quite shocked.

Not only that!

Other theater Barriers, and even the Military Headquarters, received the intelligence at the fastest speed.

Just as King Fenghai had expected, the headquarters was extremely shocked.

They ordered a Marquis Realm Mid-Stage exotic beast crystal core to be given to Ye Qing as a reward!

Meanwhile.

Imperial Capital, Shangguan Family.

"Young Miss, you have returned."

The butler looked at Shangguan Yanran, his face filled with respect.

Although the Young Miss was a Wasted Artifact Spirit, she was very talented in other areas, such as business.

She had now taken over many of the Shangguan Family's industries and could be considered a force to be reckoned with.

"Where is the Old Master? I haven't been home for such a long time; nothing has happened at home, right?"

"No, in terms of military strength, we have the Old Master and the High-ranking Officials holding the fort, and in terms of assets, we have you, Young Miss, at the helm; our Family can be said to be thriving."

The butler flattered her without leaving a trace.

Shangguan Yanran waved her hand, "It's all the Old Master at the helm; I'm just assisting. Alright, let's not talk so much; where is the Old Master? I will go find him."

"He is in the conference room; several High-ranking Officials are reporting to the Old Master. Young Miss, I will take you there now."

The butler said, leading Shangguan Yanran toward that direction.

A while later, they arrived at the door.

"Alright, the meeting inside probably hasn't finished yet; I'll just wait outside. You go ahead and get busy."

"Very well, Young Miss."

Shangguan Yanran was outside, then she pressed her ear against the door, wanting to hear what was being said inside.

A while later.

Shangguan Yanran's face was filled with extreme shock.

What is this?

What are the Old Master and the others talking about?

What kind of person is this, to have actually done such things, and it seems from what they are saying, he is quite young.

Tsk tsk!

Hearing this, Shangguan Yanran also began to feel envious.

As a Wasted Artifact Spirit, she naturally envied those powerful Spirit Masters and Artifact Spirits.

Sigh.

A while later.

The door was opened.

"Old Master..."

Shangguan Yanran looked at the Old Master who opened the door, her face filled with embarrassment.

"You girl, when you come here, just come straight in. There is nothing in the Family that needs to be hidden from you. You've been listening outside for so long; can you hear clearly?"

Shangguan Yanran: "..." Ahhh, Old Master, please stop.

Shangguan Yanran was in despair at this moment; she hadn't expected that even though her movements were so light, she was still detected by the Old Master.

Sigh, this is truly socially mortifying!

My goodness!

Shangguan Yanran entered, and the High-ranking Officials of the Family looked at her with smiles on their faces.

"Yanran is back."

"The Old Master is right; you are now also a High-ranking Official in the Family and can hold your own at home. Just come in."
