Chapter 145: The Endless Calamities of the Holy Envoy Order

“Wake up, wake up, my husband is back!”

Whoosh!

Lu Ye woke with a start, leapt out of bed, and dashed to the balcony, about to climb over the railing and jump down.

Suddenly, he paused. “Wait, this is my home…”

Su Qianqian grinned mischievously. “No wonder you’re so skilled at this! Don’t you think you should come down and explain everything properly to me?”

“Honey, I swear on heaven and earth, the sun and moon as witnesses, I just barely escaped death and saved our entire family’s lives. How could I possibly have time to fool around with some wildflower outside?”

Then Lu Ye’s expression changed abruptly as he scolded her, “By the way, why did you sneak back? Didn’t I tell you to stay put in the capital until I came back to get you?”

Su Qianqian pouted, “I called you, but a stranger answered. When I asked where you were, she said the young master was asleep…”

“I talked it over with Feihong, and we immediately agreed to buy tickets and fly back to catch you in the act.”

When she said “young master,” Lu Ye immediately knew she meant Tang Qianyan and explained, “Oh, that’s my sister’s apprentice, Tang Qianyan. We basically grew up together.”

Su Qianqian nodded, “I know that!”

When she and Feihong returned, the courtyard was in complete disarray, scars of battle everywhere.

It was the first time Su Qianqian had seen Lu Ye hurt so badly.

Tang Qianyan had already clarified her identity and cleared up the misunderstanding when she returned Lu Ye’s phone to Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian wasn’t really suspicious of Lu Ye cheating; even if he had, there was no way he would fool around in their own home. She just needed an excuse to rush back.

Su Shiming was busy comforting the still-shaken Li Shuqie, and Chen Xi was also seriously injured.

Tang Qianyan had recounted the events to Su Qianqian but left out the dangers.

Yet with Su Qianqian’s sharp mind, it wasn’t hard to imagine the crisis their home had just faced—probably on the verge of total annihilation.

Fortunately, they had survived the ordeal without any real harm.

Everyone was safe. The little rascal had taken a nap and woke up lively and well.

Su Qianqian couldn’t help but throw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“No matter what danger we face next time, you’re not allowed to leave me alone anywhere.”

Lu Ye smiled, “Don’t worry, the Hongying Society has been completely dismantled by us.”

Ivanka and Max were dead; the Hongying Society had lost its supreme leader.

The remnants in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas were being relentlessly pursued by Y6, the Hongying Society now on the brink of destruction.

Moreover, the bottleneck that had troubled Lu Ye for so long was broken after this life-or-death battle. He unexpectedly advanced to the tenth tier, his strength soaring to a new level.

Even if Reika and Max came back to life, Lu Ye wouldn’t necessarily lose if he fought them head-on again.

The world is vast, and a tenth-tier master can be anywhere.

Lu Ye bent down and kissed Su Qianqian softly on the lips, gently asking, “What about the others?”

Su Qianqian blushed slightly, “Everyone’s waiting downstairs for you.”

“Then let’s go down.”

In the living room downstairs, everyone except Lu Yuqing was present.

Seeing Lu Ye looking refreshed and holding Su Qianqian’s hand, they all smiled knowingly.

Wan Quan asked, “Brother Lu, are you alright?”

Lu Ye grinned broadly, “Perfectly fine.”

He didn’t reveal his promotion to the tenth tier.

There might still be hidden dangers in the future; the martial world is treacherous, and keeping one’s strength a secret can be an advantage when it really counts.

“Wan Shao, Mo Shao, thank you both for risking your lives to come to our aid. I owe your families a great debt.”

“Whatever compensation you want, just say the word. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll do my best to fulfill it.”

Wan Quan waved his hand casually, “Brother Lu, you saved my life once; this one’s mine to give. Don’t be polite with me.”

Mo Chong and Mo Dong exchanged glances and pleaded, “Brother Lu, can you help us both with the Meridian Cleansing and Marrow Washing?”

Lu Ye smiled softly, “No problem.”

He immediately performed the Meridian Cleansing and Marrow Washing on both of them.

Mo Dong’s foundation was better; he advanced straight to the seventh tier, nearly matching Wan Quan’s level.

Mo Chong was slightly behind at the sixth tier but was already very satisfied.

He knew his aptitude was average and that without help, it would take him years to reach sixth tier on his own.

“Thank you, Brother Lu!”

“Thank you, Brother Lu!”

The Mo brothers were deeply grateful and knelt to pay their respects.

Lu Ye smiled, “Don’t mention it. I’m never stingy with my own.”

“Wan Shao, please take them back to get accustomed.”

Wan Quan stood up immediately, “Alright, Mo Da and Mo Xiao, let’s go. Don’t disturb Brother Lu’s family reunion!”

“Got it!”

After seeing them off, Lu Ye sat beside Li Shuqie, holding her hand. “Mom, sorry for frightening you.”

Li Shuqie’s previously tense expression softened somewhat. She forced a smile, “Don’t worry, dear son-in-law. I’m fine.”

“Oh my god! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have known my son-in-law was so amazing!”

“Having you protect us makes my heart so much more at ease, though I still have the chills from the fear I felt.”

Su Shiming nodded deeply, “You’re not only a national treasure but also our Su family’s guardian deity.”

Lu Ye’s smile deepened sincerely. Nothing felt more fulfilling than the understanding and affirmation from one’s family.

This warmth made Lu Ye feel that all sacrifices were worth it.

…

Three days later, Lu Ye received calls from Wu Qing and Zhou Tao one after another.

“Brother Lu, we’re leaving.”

“Y6 is withdrawing entirely from the country.”

Before Lu Ye could ask why, the calls ended abruptly.

When he hurried to the Yi Ren Club, Wu Qing had already left.

However, Wu Qing left Mu Xia behind.

Lu Ye pulled her into the manager’s office and asked, “Xia Xia, what’s going on? Why wasn’t I informed of such a major personnel shift?”

Mu Xia sighed, “Y6’s main battlefield is moving to Europe. The queen is gathering forces for a decisive battle with the Sanctified Legion!”

Lu Ye paused, “The Sanctified Legion? That evil group promoting so-called holy wars?”

“Yes, that’s them!”

Lu Ye was very familiar with the “Sanctified Legion.”

When he was active on the Middle East battlefield, he had clashed with them many times. The group that kidnapped Su Shiming also belonged to the Sanctified Legion’s armed faction.

They held extreme religious beliefs and considered outsiders heretics.

Under this pretext, they launched so-called holy wars but were essentially robbers and arsonists who deserved to be eradicated.

Five years ago, the Sanctified Legion was just emerging; now they had grown into a terrifying and massive force.

Mu Xia explained, “The Sanctified Legion frequently stirs up wars in Europe. If we don’t crush them there, their influence might spread here, causing endless calamities.”

Lu Ye took a deep breath—troubles kept coming one after another.

“Does Wu have any message for me?”

Mu Xia nodded, “Ambassador Wu told me to tell you to enjoy this brief peace while it lasts. Soon, the European battlefield will definitely need your support.”

Lu Ye nodded solemnly, “Understood.”

“Xia Xia, from today on, you’re the manager of Yi Ren Club. Forget your Y6 identity and keep silent.”

Mu Xia agreed, “Got it.”

Lu Ye thought for a moment and added, “When you have time, clean up our old base thoroughly so no traces remain. If you don’t mind, you can also move in with us.”

Since Mu Xia’s background was complicated and she was now left alone in Mingzhu City, having her stay with Chen Xi and Luo Ying would be safer.

Mu Xia was taken aback and said, “Ah? I don’t mind, but will Sister Qianqian mind?”

Lu Ye laughed, “No, I’ll give her a heads-up.”

After giving these instructions, Lu Ye tried to log into Y6’s intranet to check the current situation.

But the webpage showed a large “404” error with the message: “This domain name has expired!”

Y6’s internal website might have been canceled or temporarily taken offline.

It probably wouldn’t be relaunched until the decisive battle with the Sanctified Legion was over, to avoid leaking secret information.

Lu Ye’s way of contacting his mother was also cut off, so he could only wait for Cheng Qimeng to call him for one-way communication.

This brief peace was truly a moment that gave Lu Ye no peace at all…
