Chapter 1914: Chapter 1914: Trouble with Evil Eyes?

As Long Qie temporarily departed, only Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing remained in the spacious office. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Looking at Xiao Zheng, who was bowing his head to check the map, Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but ask, "Will this operation be dangerous?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng looked up and smiled, then shook his head and said, "No danger, as long as I’m here, how could there be danger? Besides, both the list and map are already in our hands. We hold the initiative completely — there’s no chance of losing this battle."

"That’s good to hear. The Demon God Sect is different from the guys we’ve faced before. It’s best to proceed cautiously," Leng Ruobing said.

Xiao Zheng thought of the bizarre Demon God Statue and then nodded, saying, "I agree with that statement. The Demon God Sect is indeed mysterious, which is why I ensured Evil Eyes was safely withdrawn from the Southern Border before taking any action against them."

"By the way, how did you know the location of the Demon God Sect’s headquarters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Border?" Leng Ruobing asked.

This was her biggest question at the moment.

Xiao Zheng did not hide anything and detailed everything that happened the night before.

When she learned that the Saintess of the Demon God Sect had found Xiao Zheng, Leng Ruobing frowned slightly and said, "The members of the Demon God Sect truly don’t learn from their mistakes. After suffering so much, they still dare to send people after you."

"They aren’t failing to learn — they’re seeking their own doom," Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "To take me down, they’d have to pay a painful price, like their lives."

"Hmm? Long Qie is back."

Upon hearing the door opening behind them, they both turned.

However, what they didn’t expect was that Long Qie’s expression showed faint signs of distress.

Xiao Zheng suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but ask, "How is it? Did you manage to contact Evil Eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Long Qie immediately spoke in a serious tone, "I just called Evil Eyes, but he didn’t pick up. Moreover, according to the intelligence team brothers, Evil Eyes sent back a message this morning."

"What message?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.

Upon learning Evil Eyes was missing, a trace of unease had already settled in his heart.

Long Qie did not say anything but handed a note to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng took it, finding it only had one line: My whereabouts have been discovered, but there’s no need to worry about me.

A total of sixteen words — even with punctuation, it was only eighteen characters.

Yet, from these words, Xiao Zheng could still perceive Evil Eyes’ difficult predicament. Though Evil Eyes indicated not to worry, Cloud Border was, after all, the territory of the Demon God Sect.

Even if Evil Eyes reassured them, Xiao Zheng couldn’t truly be at ease.

"Knowing this would happen, I should have gotten the message back sooner!" Long Qie fell into deep self-blame, saying, "If I had sent word back earlier, Evil Eyes wouldn’t have gone to the Southern Border alone, and wouldn’t be in danger!"

"It’s all my fault!"

Feeling his remorse, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Leng Ruobing then said, "Now is not the time to assign blame. Our immediate priority is to figure out how to contact Evil Eyes and assist him in escaping peril."

"Ruobing is right; no matter how much you regret, it’s useless now," Xiao Zheng said. "We can only find Evil Eyes first. By the way, you said this intelligence was received this morning, right?"

"Correct, the note came in at a bit past nine this morning," Long Qie nodded and said.

"It’s now half past two in the afternoon, so it’s been about five hours since Evil Eyes sent the note," Xiao Zheng said slowly. "Time isn’t very tight; given his abilities, he shouldn’t encounter too much danger in this short period."

"Here’s what we’ll do — prepare a plane for me immediately. I’ll go to Cloud Border and find him now."

"I’ll go with you!" Long Qie said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng almost instinctively shook his head, refusing: "No, you can’t come with me. You must stay back."

"Why? If it weren’t for me, Evil Eyes wouldn’t be in danger," Long Qie said excitedly, having difficulty understanding. "He’s in danger because of me; I must go save him myself!"

Hearing his words, Xiao Zheng frowned slightly and then said coldly, "Calm down first. I didn’t say you couldn’t take part in the rescue mission. It’s just different tasks, with different duties. You need to stay behind."

"Listen, once I reach the Southern Border, immediately target the people on this roster. We must catch the Demon God Sect off guard and distract them."

"If we create more difficulties for them externally, forcing them to divide their attention, Evil Eyes’ safety will be assured."

"So your task is also extremely crucial."

"Do you understand?"

Only at this point did Long Qie finally understand Xiao Zheng’s plan fully. Xiao Zheng intended to execute a ’besieging Wei to rescue Zhao’ strategy — first having him raid the Demon God Sect’s external forces to distract them internally, thereby aiding Evil Eyes’ escape.

After understanding all this, Long Qie no longer insisted on accompanying Xiao Zheng to the Southern Border.

Because, as Xiao Zheng said, his task was equally significant.

"I’ll go arrange it now."

Having said this, Long Qie hurriedly left the office once more.

When only the two of them were left in the office, Xiao Zheng somewhat apologetically looked at Leng Ruobing and said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t expect I’d have to leave so soon after just a few days of peace."

"It’s okay, I understand," Leng Ruobing said with a smile. "Besides, I don’t like it when a man stays home all day, and you’re leaving this time to save someone."

"Don’t worry, after this is over, I’ll take you on a trip and spend quality time with you," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

Leng Ruobing nodded but didn’t say more.

She did not want to become a burden to Xiao Zheng, so at this moment, silence was her best support for him.

Ten minutes later, Long Qie returned again.

He had already contacted the airport and urgently arranged for a direct flight path to the Southern Border. The private jet was waiting at the airport; Xiao Zheng could take off anytime.

After bidding farewell to the two, Xiao Zheng drove away alone.
