Zhu Baixi, upon arriving in the Capital City, went straight to the location.

However, before coming, she had already prepared and brought gifts for everyone.

Having been in the business world for many years, she was adept at understanding social dynamics, and with a gentle touch, she made all the women somewhat captivated by this big sister’s thoughtfulness and gentleness.

That night, Chen Xiao, as he had wished, successfully challenged his own limits, like a god descending 1v6.

The most unhappy was Li Kani, who even clamored to join the night talks, but was sternly refused by Luo Qingli and others. After all, Li Kani was inexperienced, and her first time in life was something to be valued.

So, they felt that Li Kani should wait until Chen Xiao returned from Yin Country to discuss it further.

The next day, after everything was arranged, Chen Xiao, Leng Baiyu, Luo Qingli, and Lu Rugao prepared to leave for Yin Country.

Leng Baiyu felt that flying to Yin Country was too risky; it was best to create a diversion by buying plane tickets as a cover and instead take a cruise ship or transnational train to Yin Country.

After all, on a cruise, they could still protect Luo Qingli and Lu Rugao, whereas if something went wrong mid-flight, everyone would be doomed.

Given their sensitive identities now, the biggest fear was encountering unexpected incidents along the way, thus jeopardizing Luo Qingli and Lu Rugao.

Chen Xiao suddenly remembered something and clapped his hands, "This reminds me, I still need to return to Yuncheng City to bring along the herbs I’ve collected. That way, once we get the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart, I can immediately refine all seven herbs."

"Makes sense!" Leng Baiyu also realized this and agreed, "Then I’ll have someone change our schedule, starting from Yuncheng City port."

With the plan settled, they said their goodbyes to everyone and hurriedly returned to Yuncheng City from the Capital City.

Chen Xiao put the six herbs he had previously collected into the Small Tower Space.

He had researched this Small Tower before, and found that the space could hold some items, but only non-living things. Weapons and herbs, for example, could be stored, but not living beings.

This made the plan quite secure.

And if he did get the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart, he could immediately store it in the Small Tower Space without anyone noticing.

After everything was ready.

At ten at night, the group successfully boarded the cruise and embarked on their journey to Yin Country.

To be safe, Leng Baiyu had arranged for their tickets to be booked using fake IDs to prevent their identities from being exposed.

On the Ronis.

The evening breeze blew gently as they stood on the deck, enjoying this moment of calm and pleasure.

Leng Baiyu said, "The Ronis is a dedicated return cruiser from Yin Country. The majority of the passengers are from Yin Country, with only a few being People of Shenzhou, so we should keep a low profile."

They all nodded.

Luo Qingli added, "When we arrive in Yin Country, our agent Mota from Luo Group in Yin Country will meet us. I will negotiate with Sunny Pharmaceutical Group, the company copying Beauty Paste, to see how they wish to handle this."

"Sunny Pharmaceutical Group?" Lu Rugao raised an eyebrow, "They’re an internationally notorious pharmaceutical company known for replicating new drugs and stealing many company secrets by bribing insiders."

"If not for the protection from Yin Country’s higher-ups, they would have been taken down long ago."

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Looks like this Sunny Pharmaceutical Group isn’t simple, even the Yin Country officials are protecting them?"

"Of course." Lu Rugao explained to them, "You’re aware of Yin Country’s social hierarchy — extremely strict on lineage. Their nationals are roughly divided into four classes: Four is slaves, three is commoners, two is nobility, and the Royal Family and priestly ranks hold the most prestigious status!"

"There’s almost no intermarriage between the classes."

"Sunny Pharmaceutical Group is a company under a super noble family in Yin Country. Though they’re not Royal Family, they intermarry with the Royal Family, and even some family members hold priestly posts, practically wielding power in Yin Country!"

"So, even if they act unreasonably, with the Royal Family as their shield, they run rampant. If Luo Group’s confrontation involves them, it’s troublesome."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s lips curled in a cold smile, "No matter their background, I won’t hesitate to give them a taste of their own medicine if provoked."

Lu Rugao asked again, "Qingli, did your agent suggest you personally negotiate with Sunny Pharmaceutical Group?"

Luo Qingli nodded knowingly of the matter’s gravity.

Lu Rugao said coolly, "Considering the Sunny family’s status in Yin Country, this agent of yours either doesn’t know the risks involved or he’s sending you to your death!"

"Seems like a trap..." Luo Qingli took a deep breath, "Fortunately, Chen Xiao and the elder sister are with me. Alone, I couldn’t handle these wolves and tigers."

"But since we’re here, I want to see what they’re playing at!"

The Ronis soon entered territorial waters, and in the ship’s central cabin, revelry and music filled the air.

Chen Xiao and his group took a rare moment to relax and enjoy the midnight seascape.

Suddenly, a string of curses and the desperate cries of a child pierced the air behind them, "Daddy, Daddy...please stop hitting Daddy, I beg you!"

The child’s cries caught Chen Xiao and the others’ attention, prompting them to turn and look.

Several burly men were cursing, hitting and kicking a man curled on the ground, who was holding a little girl tightly in his arms, protecting her.

"Stupid kid, walking without looking? Are you looking for trouble by bumping into Master Reini?"

"Do you know who Master Reini is? Son of one of the Eight Great Generals of Yin Country, a noble by birth, you commoners aren’t fit to even touch him!"

The men unleashed furious blows, making the man on the ground cough blood.

The man gritted his teeth, humbly apologizing again and again.

But they showed no signs of stopping, growing more brutal, even landing a kick on the little girl’s face causing a nosebleed, looking all the more pitiful.

Leng Baiyu’s eyes narrowed!

The man being attacked wore a military uniform, albeit a bit aged, clearly marking him as a retired soldier from Divine Land, and his limp leg seemed to bear a bullet wound.

These bastards dared to humiliate a retired soldier from Divine Land like this?
