Chapter 643
Luo Lei walked at the end of the line, another knight of the House of Magi.
A knight of the House of Magi could have a higher status than the knights of the Jade Family and the two Leingars.
No one else, including Falling Wind, dared to look his way.
White paper, red letters.
It looked shocking.
[Take blood, go for life]
After reading it, Luo Lei narrowed his eyes.
Slowly, he crushed the note into pieces with his fingers, and it came down in a flurry.
The gate of the World City opened, and a group of people’s figures were hidden.
Meanwhile, the Jade Family.
Vermilion sat on the open terrace, elegantly sipping her tea.
She lifted her head and looked in the direction of where the gates of the City of Worlds were located, and gently pursed her lips once.
There were footsteps, and it was a knight in Sage House attire.
He clasped his fist and knelt on one knee, “Commander, your message is all known to the Queen’s lord, who means that it is a small matter, all at your disposal.”
Not to mention the illegitimate son of the Yu family who had strayed away, even Yu Shaoyun himself was not yet qualified to be in the eyes of the Magi.
Like gods on high, the Magi had infinite compa*sion, but were also cold and heartless.
Vermilion had known this for a long time, which was why she had asked her housekeeper to bring her token to beg for an audience with the Sage Empress.
Before she married into the Jade family, she was the female commander of one of the four great orders of knights of the House of Sages, the Knights of the Holy Grail.
The four great orders of knights are named after the Sceptre, the Sword, the Star Coin and the Holy Grail.
Only the Four Great Orders are the most trusted by the House of Sages.
At the same time, as the direct subordinate of the twenty-two Sages of the House of Sages, the Four Knights also represent the four Minor Arcana cards of the Tarot.
The twenty-two Sages and the Four Knights just make up the entire Tarot system.
But apart from the people of the City of Worlds, no one knew that this was the source of the Tarot cards.
“Hmm.” Vermilion smiled, “But whether his blood is special or not is not yet known, so go down first.”
The knight paid his respects again and left.
Zhu Sha drank his tea for a while, stood up with a flourish and went to serve Old Lady Yu her meal.

This time.
o Continent.
Manuel’s experimental base.
He looked serious and was listening to his a*sistant report some news.
Hearing the latter, Manuel pushed his gla*ses, the lenses reflecting the light: “Where did the news come from, and is it reliable?”
“It came from the prison over in Filippo.” The a*sistant spoke up, “A young lady from the Laurent family was removed and expelled from the Laurent family for buying a paper.”
“And she’s now in the international prison in Villefranche for the deliberate murder of a man with a gun outside the airfield, and the warden says she’s a bit crazy and keeps repeating the same phrase.”
Manuel narrowed his eyes, “Go on.”
“Ying Zidian, the First Researcher, how is that possible and on what basis?” The a*sistant repeated, with a few apologies, “I’m sorry, Professor, that’s all the information available, I don’t think it’s very reliable, only fifty percent chance at best.”
Elizabeth was clearly a little out of her nerves with this look.
Who knew if what she was saying was true or not?
“No, instead I think it’s a hundred percent reliable.” Manuel smiled faintly, “Helvin was saved when he went to China and happened to be in Shanghai, and although the matter was kept under wraps at the time, it seems obvious now that it was this Ying Zigui who saved him.”
“Plus she’s incredibly learned, isc even though she’s preparing high school students for a competition, that kind of speed in solving problems, I wouldn’t dare say I could beat her.”
It dawned on the a*sistant, “Professor, so what do you mean?”
“That those who kidnapped Helvin last time have not contacted us again?” Manuel frowned, “Didn’t they say that they would definitely help us get rid of Helvin?”
Competition within the academic world was also met with bloodshed.
Helvin was even a thorn in the side of many people.
It was only because of the investment from the Laurent family and the venus group that had kept many people from moving.
The a*sistant shook his head, “No more.”
Manuel pondered a little: “Did they say what the reason was for having to kill Helvin?”
The reason he wanted to get rid of Helvin was simple, he didn’t want Helvin to overpower him within the academic world.
But those people, all of whom were not in the same spatial dimension as them, had any strife of interest?
“It didn’t say specifically, but they said something incoherent when they contacted us.” The aide recalled, “Said that something like a cosmic carrier shouldn’t exist.”
Manuel thought for a moment and nodded slowly, “I see, they won’t allow a cosmic carrier to be invented, even if it’s just a possibility.”
Going to another universe was a taboo for the people of the World City.
The a*sistant asked, “Is the professor trying to contact those people and kill Ying Zigui?”
“Kill her for what?” Manuel was a little surprised, “Of course we want to invite her to join our experimental project, didn’t you check that she is also a doctor? We have a shortage of such people.”
The a*sistant hesitated, “But it’s not that easy to get her to join our experimental project, is it? She’s supposed to have a good relationship with Helvin.”
“The City of Worlds.” Manuel said, “You give her the message of the City of Worlds and she will surely come.”
Human civilisation had developed to the heights.
Who wouldn’t want to go there?
Manuel faded: “Of course, if she doesn’t agree, it’s better to eradicate it as soon as possible.”
The aide was then enlightened, and after nodding, went down to prepare.
**
The following day.
Ying Ziji returned to country J from Fei Leng Cui.
After changing into a set of casual clothes at the hotel, she went to the supermarket.
Luckily, she was not famous here in country J, unlike in China where everyone knew about her and had to go to the supermarket in full armour.
Ying slowly pushed her shopping cart along and went to buy half a cart of snacks first.
In the middle of the shopping trip, she received a phone call from her secretary.
After the call, Ying Ziyang pushed the cart while thinking about the company, so much so that she didn’t notice where she had gone.
“Yoyo.”
At that moment, there was an extremely soft and low laugh that rang out behind her.
The man’s voice was tinged with a bit of tease if anything, low and sexy.
He lifted a hand, taking advantage of his height, and reached behind him, over her shoulder and pressed it against the shelf.
Another lazy laugh fell, and his tone was unhurried: “The number is small, are you trying to strangle me?”
Ying Zigui looked startled.
With her intelligence, she couldn’t understand what this meant for a while.
It was only when she raised her head and looked at the place where Fu Yunshen’s hand was pressing that she realised she was pushing the shopping cart to stop at the men’s clothing section.
Ying looked at the boxes lining the shelves and the size m on the box: “……”
For the first time, the girl’s expression shattered slightly.
Fu Yunshen looked subdued.
His hand moved up the shelf and pressed on another size: “This is about right.”
Ying Ziyi had little expression and glanced at him coolly, “Don’t flatter yourself, I didn’t want to buy it for you.”
“Well, you don’t know the size either, be a good boy, you’ll know later.”
The tone of a coaxing child.
“……”
A moment of silence followed.
“Sir.”
Fu Yunshen looked sideways.
Ying Ziyi pushed the shopping cart forward next, “It’s true that I didn’t realize you were still a rogue before.”
Really, he could say anything.
“Hm?” Fu Yunshen stuck one hand in his pocket, his eyebrows raised, smiling lightly, “I really wasn’t a rogue before.”
He followed up, naturally taking the shopping cart from her hands.
“I kinda wanted to ask you, how do you have the potential to turn people into hooligans? Little friend?”
It was still that cynical accent with a dandy edge.
He leaned down slightly to look at her intently.
The man’s eyesight was always sharp, but the light smile in his peach blossom eyes rendered a little tenderness that was hard to resist.
Ying Ziji stretched out her hand to poke his face away, her tone cool: “Where’s the supermarket, what for?”
“Discharging you?”
“……”
“Okay, no more.” Fu Yunshen patted her head and smiled gently, “I’ll make you some hairy blood for you when we get back.”
**
The two of them returned to the hotel.
The hotel was originally owned by the venus group.
The hotel is owned by the venus group and has all the necessary facilities.
After Fu Yunshen took off his coat, he went to the kitchen.
Ying Ziji sat on the sofa, turning on the TV and preparing to watch a drama.
The doorbell rings.
Ying Zidian stands up and goes to answer the door.
Outside the door is Manuel’s a*sistant, with two bodyguards.
Ying Zidian’s eyes narrow slightly.
“Hello, Miss Ying, I’m Professor Manuel’s a*sistant.” The a*sistant got straight to the point, “I’ve heard that Miss Ying is a divine doctor in China, she must be good at biology and medicine, Professor Manuel invites Miss Ying into his lab.”
After a pause, without waiting for the girl to speak, he added: “Has Miss Ying heard of the development of human civilisation to the Highland World City? Follow us so that you can enter.”
Helwyn didn’t have the ability to enter the City of Worlds, and it would be good if she didn’t die.
Chapter 644
How the forces of the City of Worlds were distributed, Manuel and his a*sistant did not know.
But it was clear that there was a very powerful force in the City of Worlds that wanted Helwyn dead.
To be precise, it was preventing the successful invention of the Cosmic Carrier.
As the first researcher of this experimental project, Ying was the main task.
If those people in the City of Worlds knew about it, could they spare her?
Many scientists are mad, including Manuel, and aspire to higher science and technology.
Ying Ziji propped one hand on the door, not intending to let Manuel’s people in, her eyelashes dropping: “Human civilisation has developed to the heights?”
“It’s understandable that Miss Ying has never heard of it.” The a*sistant smiled faintly, “Because it is a secret that those who are not qualified enough have no way of knowing about it, and the professor is fortunate enough to learn about it.”
“I suppose Professor Helvin has never mentioned it to Miss Ying?”
Ying Ziji’s eyes were light, her expression did not fluctuate, and she pressed the door shut.
“Miss Ying!” The a*sistant’s expression changed.
He raised his hand to block it, and his other hand went straight to grab the girl’s shoulder.
But before the a*sistant could touch her clothes, he was cut off across the room.
A strong force firmly imprisoned his hand.
“Click.”
There was a clear crunch in the silent air.
It was the sound of bones snapping.
The a*sistant couldn’t hold back a yelp and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The man’s stance was tall and oppressive.
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyes and smiled: “What does the hand want? Don’t you want it?”
He still spoke in a soft voice, but it made people feel the unparalleled danger.
The a*sistant took several steps back, looking terrified: “You, you ……”
“Can you go to the World City, don’t bother.” Fu Yun Shen sideways, one hand pressed the hotel receptionist’s phone, faintly, “Let the unrelated people leave here.”
The receptionist received the call and obviously panicked a little, immediately sending security up.
“Do you know what the City of Worlds is?” The a*sistant suppressed his anger, “You didn’t even know there was such a place until I told you about it!”
The technology and wealth of the City of Worlds was far from what the seven continents and four oceans could compare to.
The a*sistant let out another cold laugh, “Miss Ying, go ahead and help Helvin, the City of Worlds will not allow the Cosmic Carrier to be invented.”
“If you help him, you will only make your own life difficult to save!”
Fu Yunshen’s eyes were instantly cold and hostile.
The a*sistant opened his mouth, but before he could say the next word, he was carried away by the security guards who had rushed up.
Fu Yunshen closed the door behind him, and his peach blossom eyes deepened: “Yoyo, it’s also very dangerous for you to go to the World City.”
The World City is completely separate from the seven continents and four oceans, and the news between them is not well communicated.
Unlike in the Ancient Martial World, which at least shared an internet with the Secular World.
Even if they were well known in the seven continents and four oceans, no one would know them when they entered the City of Worlds.
“It’s no match for you.” Ying Ziyi yawned, his tone idle, “Those people who were after Auntie are still in the shadows, and from the information Sinai gave, the Jade Family will definitely not be peaceful.”
As the forceful controller among the two great clans of the World City, the Jade Family would only be more sinister inside than the Ancient Martial World.
“I’m not going to the Jade Family.” Fu Yunshen swept her up, his hand pressing the girl’s head against his chest, his voice low and cold, “There’s no place in World City for me to stay, after I’ve taken my revenge, I’ll return to Shanghai City, shall we open a teahouse?”
Ying Zidian’s hand paused and hugged his lean, strong waist tightly, “Good, let’s have a few more cats.”
“Hm?” Fu Yunshen let her go and flicked her forehead with his finger, curving his lips, “As naughty as you are?”
Ying Ziji glanced at him, picked up the pillow and went back to the sofa to watch TV.
Dinner was soon ready.
The strong spicy aroma stimulated the taste buds, and the colours and flavours were all over the place.
The two of them made it to the dining table.
“Speaking of the Sage’s House, I thought of something.” Ying Ziji put her hand on her chin and raised her eyebrows, “Sir, you have a code name, but the Devil.”
Tarot cards were all too familiar to her.
Demon, thedevil, serial number fifteen.
It was the sixteenth card of the twenty-two Great Alcana.
In other words, among the twenty-two sages, there must be a sage demon
“Hm?” Fu Yun Shen looked slightly stunned and suddenly smiled, lazily, “I didn’t really take this myself, it’s the Western side that regards demons as a sinister existence.”
“After I killed my first bounty target, I was given such a code name.”
Ying Zigui pressed his head, “There are indeed many people called demons.”
But not everyone was a sage.
Fu Yunshen put down his plate and lifted his chin, “Yao Yao, call the kid.”
“A child?” Ying Zidian, “She says he’s older than you.”
“My husband is as old as my wife, as old as you are, and several generations ahead of her.”
“……”
Sinai got the call and ran over from next door in her slippers.
She rubbed her eyes and sat down at the dining table.
The three of them had a calm atmosphere like a family of three.
Ying Zigui held her chopsticks and asked anyway, “Sage Devil, do you have any other information?”
“Cough cough cough!” Sinai choked and was a little surprised, “Sage demon? Why did you suddenly think of this one?”
Ying Ziji moved calmly, “Just asking.”
“The Sage Demons are the most mysterious of the twenty-two Sages.” Sinai frowned, “The most recent news about ta is three hundred years old, if it weren’t for the immortality of the sages, I would suspect that ta is no longer even around.”
“How can we be sure the ta is still around?”
“There are twenty-two gems outside the House of Sages, and if any of the sages is no longer there, the one that represents ta will break.”
In this way, the House of Sages tells the City of Worlds that there are twenty-two sages in the way, and the residents can rest a*sured.
“And, as I read the records, this Sage is not a nice person.” Sinai lowered his voice, “It’s possible that he’s been banned by the other Magi in conjunction, and we ordinary people are not qualified to know about the Magi.”
Fu Yun Shen listened.
There was a flash of broken images in his mind.
His hands paused, his eyelashes dropping as he continued to eat.
**
Outside.
The aide got on the plane, still distraught: “Who was that man?”
“After comparing the photos, it compares him to the president of the venus group in Asia Pacific.” The technician’s hand trembled as he spoke, “Or the seventh young master of the Fu family in Shanghai, China, who is so popular in China that he was voted the number one national male god.”
The a*sistant ignored the popularity and frowned, “Just the president of the Asia Pacific region?”
“Yes.” The technician checked again, “But recently there seems to be a big move in the venus group, it looks like there is a restructuring of positions, there is news that the headquarters is going to hand over the Asia Pacific region to Joseph.”
Joseph, that was the president of the O-League region.
The a*sistant nodded.
A position like the president of the Asia Pacific region could be changed at any time by the headquarters, and it wasn’t even as stable as those employees at the middle and lower levels.
A businessman was just a businessman, so there was no need to take it to heart.
The a*sistant thought about it and sent a message to Manuel.
[Ying Zidian has refused, Professor, let’s execute plan b.]
**
The other side.
China, Shanghai City.
The Fu family’s old mansion.
Fu Yijian has returned from the office.
He took off his coat and handed it to the housekeeper, and sat himself on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest.
A year and a half ago, the population of the Fu family had withered, but the Fu Group was flourishing.
As the eldest son of the Fu family, Fu Yijian had no intention of remarrying.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Fu Yikhan opened his eyes, with a few moments of confusion between his brows.
He had many guests, but not many people would come to visit him directly at the old Fu family home.
Fu Yichan walked over and opened the door, politely: “You are?”
When he got a good look at the face of the visitor, his complexion changed.
For a moment, it was as if Fu Yixian was seeing Fu Yunshen standing in front of him twenty years later.
The middle-aged man’s face was cold and his eyes were sharp.
Like a blade that has been washed away, yet is ready to strike.
The aura of severity was overwhelming.
Even though Fu Yijian had been in control of the Fu Group for so long, he could not stand up to it at all.
He wrinkled his eyebrows, and a very unbelievable thought came to his mind: “You-”
The movement of his hands had already overtaken all thoughts.
Fu Yijian’s fingers clenched and he punched the middle-aged man in the face.
The force was so strong that it directly knocked blood out of the corner of Shaoyun’s mouth.
This action of his was so sudden that no one reacted.
Including Yu Shaoyun himself.
As an outstanding warrior of the Jade Family, even an Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster could not hurt him.
The Jade Family represented absolute force and also because of their special bloodline, having speed, strength and so on that exceeded the ordinary residents of the City of Worlds.
Lok Feng was instantly furious, the sabre in his hand was already sheathed and directly across Fu Yikan’s neck, “Unbridled!”
How dare an ordinary person disrespect the great head of the Jade Family?
Shaoyun immediately raised his hand, stopping Fallen Wind’s movements, coldly: “Stand down.”
Lok Feng’s hand tightened, but he still reluctantly withdrew his sword and retreated.
Shaoyun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, “Mr. Fu, can we go in and talk?”
Fu Yikan stared at him for a few seconds and still let him in.
Shaoyun paused: “Mr. Fu, I want to ask Xiao Qi where he …… is.”
Indeed, without the need for Shao Yun to say, Fu Yijian guessed who he was based on his appearance.
This time, it was even more certain.
Fu Yijian’s fingers squeezed tight: “You’re the man.”
He had left Fu Liuying behind and let her return to Shanghai City alone to give birth to her son.
Shaoyun’s eyes shook slightly: “Sorry, I just found out what happened, I ……”
“No, you don’t know.” Fu Yijian took a deep breath and sneered, “You don’t know that he was born without a father, you don’t know what he went through when he was two years old, and you don’t know how on earth he survived until now!”
There were some things that even Fu Yikan only learned about later.
He had always been groomed by Master Fu as the heir to the Fu Group, and the Fu family had been very strict with him.
But even when he was ten years old, he had at most had more courses and had never met a life or death crisis.
But what about Fu Yunshen?
From childhood to adulthood, he had always walked on the edge of a knife.
Not a single day was a day of comfort.
Shaoyun’s heart tightened violently, needle-like pain: “Sorry, I …… I was in a coma for three years, if ……”
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Fu Yikan’s eyes were slightly stern: “What the hell are you?”
That is Fu Liu Ying ah.
The two women of Shanghai City are one of the two beauties.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are seeking to marry you.
But in the end, she ended up like that.
Shaoyun pursed his lips and told the whole story of the existence of the City of Worlds.
Fu Yihan’s fingers squeezed tighter: “In your eyes, we are lambs that can be slaughtered at will, right?”
He didn’t say anything else: “You can go.”
Shaoyun’s arm shook slightly, “Mr. Fu.”
“The words have come to this.” Fu Yikan took a step back and faintly, “I’m not lying to you either, I really don’t know where Yun Shen is.”
Fu Yunshen was able to leave an image of a fop in the minds of everyone in Shanghai, but secretly he was developing his own power.
As long as he didn’t want to, no one would be able to find him.
Of course, in private Fu Yikan did not want Shaoyun to bother Fu Yunshen.
After Master Fu’s death, it was Ying Ziji who pulled Fu Yunshen out.
He didn’t want anyone to push him back into the abyss.
Shaoyun whispered, “Okay, thanks a lot Mr. Fu, I will proceed with the search.”
He raised his hand and gestured for the guard to place the box he had brought on the ground, “Here are some gifts, I ……”
“There’s no need for that.” Fu Yikan interrupted him, his voice even lighter, “My aunt died over twenty years ago, and my father and mother have both pa*sed away.”
“The Fu family is ordinary and has nothing to do with your Yu family.”
Shaoyun’s face changed, as pale as paper, and he could barely breathe.
His heart throbbed in bursts, as if he was being scorched by fire.
Shao Yun stood up in silence.
At the same time, he thought.
Who were these people that Fu Yikan had spoken of?
Did Old Lady Yu send them?
The door of the old mansion reopened.
A hundred metres away, on a building.
Luo Lei pressed his earpiece, a hostile light flashed in his eyes, and his finger moved.
“Swish!”
A thin blade, only the size of a small thumb, came out of his hand and broke through the air from high above with great speed, flinging it straight at Fu Yikan’s temple.
