633: Chapter 633 Sleep

"Master, welcome back."

"Yuanbao, is there any news from the Holy Land?"

"Yes, Master. The first stage of the Seventh Heaven assessment mission, the merit task, has been approved, and the mission reward is 193,000 credits."

Xiao Weiqing sighed.

The assessment mission was really not worth much; over 100 Yao Race Peak Dominators, over 1,000 Yao Race Dominators, and so many Yao Race Star Lords that he couldn't even remember the number, yet the mission reward wasn't even 200,000 credits.

"What about the second stage of the mission?"

"It has been confirmed. Three days ago, the Holy Land sent you a virtual email, which Yuanbao does not have the authority to view."

"Oh?"

Xiao Weiqing was a bit curious. The Holy Land had sent him an email, and Yuanbao, as his virtual butler, actually didn't have the authority to view it.

Finding the email, he opened it and Xiao Weiqing quickly browsed through it.

It was indeed a kill mission.

"Hmm?"

"Qi Hao, a former member of the Fifth Heaven of the Holy Land. In the year 14272026411 of the Universal Calendar, during an S-rank mission, Qi Hao killed seven fellow members of the Fifth Heaven, defected from the Holy Land, and left the Southern Domain..."

Xiao Weiqing was shocked. The kill mission given to him by the Holy Land was different; in the past, they were always about hunting down wanted criminals of the Universe or interstellar pirates.

His target was originally a member of the Holy Land, and now should be considered a traitor.

The key to the problem lay here; the email clearly stated that the Yunxu Holy Land had never issued a wanted notice for Qi Hao from beginning to end.

Why was that?

If a wanted notice had been issued, the Holy Land's law enforcement team would have been dispatched long ago. Back then, Qi Hao was only a Star Lord; it would have been impossible for him to escape the pursuit of the Holy Land's law enforcement team.

Xiao Weiqing's thoughts raced. He felt that this matter was unusual; the mere fact that it was hidden from the virtual butler revealed that something was not right.

"Fortunately, I have six years. It seems I need to find an opportunity to investigate this Qi Hao."

He closed the email.

Xiao Weiqing did not have Yuanbao pull up Qi Hao's profile either.

Since the Holy Land intentionally kept the virtual butler from knowing, there must be a reason. Before investigating it clearly, he could only follow the Holy Land's instructions.

"Yuanbao, I am going into the Virtual World. If anyone looks for me, help me reply to them."

"Understood, Master."

...

Virtual World.

Blue Star.

Azure Dragon Island.

When Xiao Weiqing appeared, Qian Yi and Palace Master Yun Shu were already waiting.

"Weiqing."

The two women hadn't seen him for over three years, and they were very happy.

"Sister Yi, Sister Shu."

Xiao Weiqing felt the same and pulled them both into his embrace.

"Did you finish your mission?"

Qian Yi asked.

"Yes, I finished it."

The three of them returned to the Villa.

They talked about what had happened over the past three years. Qian Yi had successfully entered the Ninth Realm, and Palace Master Yun Shu was already at the Peak of the Ninth Realm, with the possibility of entering the Star Lord Realm at any time.

"Sister Yi, where is Wei Lan?"

Xiao Weiqing initially thought Wei Lan was cultivating, so he didn't disturb her, but now he realized Wei Lan was not in the adjacent Villa.

"Wei Lan is in the Phantom Moon Small Secret Realm. You can go take a look."

Qian Yi revealed a worried expression.

Xiao Weiqing frowned, "What happened to Wei Lan?"

Qian Yi said, "Wei Lan broke through to the Star Lord Realm two years ago."

Xiao Weiqing felt a surge of joy. As he had expected, among the three women, Wei Lan was indeed the first to break through to the Star Lord Realm.

"And then?"

"Then she fell into a deep sleep."

"What?!"

Xiao Weiqing's expression darkened.

"Fell into a deep sleep?"

"Yes, but don't worry. She is not in danger; her vital signs are completely normal, and her Divine Body is even undergoing a transformation."

"We took Zali Wise to see her, and he said there is some kind of power Awakening within Wei Lan, which seems to be a Special Physique."

"A Special Physique?"

Xiao Weiqing fell into thought and decided to make a trip to the Phantom Moon Small Secret Realm.

"I am going to Xinchang Prefecture."

"I will go with you."

Xiao Weiqing shook his head, "No need. I am just going to take a look and, by the way, find the head butler of the Phantom Moon Star Lord, Xiao Yue, to ask about the situation."

"Alright then, let us know if you find out anything."

"Mm."

Xiao Weiqing left the Villa. He didn't go directly to Xinchang Prefecture but first found Zali Wise.

"Greetings, Lord Xiao Weiqing."

Xiao Weiqing asked directly, "Wise, I ask you, you have seen Wei Lan; how is she doing now?"

Zali Wise quickly replied, "Madam is currently in a deep sleep. It should be the Awakening of a Special Physique. As for what kind of Special Physique will awaken, it is currently unknown."

"Wei Lan's Bloodline was inherited from a Phantom Moon Star Lord, manifesting as red pupils, and she is quite adept in the aspect of the Divine Soul. Do you know which civilization this Bloodline comes from?"

Zali Wise shook his head and replied, "My Lord, the Universe is so vast. In the Fifth Universe Civilization, the number of families possessing Special Physiques and Bloodlines is too numerous to count."

"Unless there is an Undying Realm powerhouse in the Family, they won't have any reputation in the Universe. Otherwise, it is impossible to know what Bloodline Madam has or which faction she is related to based on this information alone."

"Then in this situation, will Wei Lan be in danger?"

Zali Wise said, "My Lord, Innate Special Physiques and Bloodlines are bestowed by the Universe and cannot be stripped away. Madam's Bloodline was actively gifted using a secret method, so there will be no danger."

"Good, I understand."

"Help me keep an eye out for Bloodlines or Physiques in the Universe similar to the one I described. Notify me anytime if there is news."

"I will, My Lord."

"Mm."

Xiao Weiqing left. Standing above Azure Dragon Island, he recalled that Wei Lan had once said that the Phantom Moon Star Lord required her to go to the Yaluns Star Domain and the Red Moon Civilization after she became a Star Lord.

Before, when Wei Lan had not broken through to the Star Lord Realm, Xiao Weiqing hadn't bothered with this matter, but now it seemed he needed to investigate it in advance.

Next.

Xiao Weiqing left Azure Dragon Island and arrived at Xinchang Prefecture via the teleportation array.

Xinchang Prefecture.

Wei Family.

Ever since Wei Lan and Xiao Weiqing's grand wedding.

The Wei Family's status had risen. Although their overall strength was not as high as the Dongfang Family, their status was higher than the Dongfang Family, or rather, apart from the Vermilion Bird Yun Clan, no other Family could be mentioned in the same breath as the Wei Family.

"Weiqing, you're here. Are you here to see Wei Lan?"

Wei Cangbai smiled.

"Grandpa, long time no see. Can Wei Lan enter the Virtual World?"

Wei Cangbai shook his head, "No, she is still in a deep sleep and cannot enter the Virtual World. I can only record a video for you to see."

Xiao Weiqing sighed helplessly, "That will do."

Wei Cangbai had Wei Zhiyuan record a video.

After watching it, Xiao Weiqing was much more at ease. Wei Lan was indeed not in any danger; she just looked like she was sleeping.

"Grandpa, please go into the Secret Realm and have Xiao Yue come out."

"Alright."

"Wait a moment."

Wei Cangbai returned to the real world, entered the Phantom Moon Small Secret Realm, and found Xiao Yue.

"Old man, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this.

Wei Cangbai was a bit annoyed. He was Wei Lan's grandfather, after all, and this Xiao Yue was still the same as she was a few years ago, always calling him 'old man'.

"Is it about the Little Master?"

Xiao Yue said impatiently.

Wei Cangbai nodded, "Yes."

"Didn't I tell you that the Little Master has fallen into a deep sleep, and you just need to wait?"

"But it has already been two years."

Xiao Yue showed a hint of helplessness, "There is nothing I can do about this either. I really don't know when the Little Master will wake up. I am more anxious than you, but being anxious is useless."

"Then come out with me."

"Go out? Where to?"

"Blue Star, Wei Family."

"What for? I'm not going."

Wei Cangbai said, "That won't do. Xiao Weiqing is back, and he is looking for you. You must go."

Xiao Yue was shocked, "Xiao Weiqing is back?"
