Chapter 228: A Target In This Life

Gu Mountain Prefecture City.

Inside the manor, the fat Meng Dajiang was playing with his grandson and granddaughter.

“Grandpa, hug.”

“Grandpa, hug me, hug me.”

The two children argued. Meng Dajiang carried one child in each hand and teased them.

By the side, Liu Yebai was lying flat on a reclining chair. He was very relaxed. “It’s so much easier for me now that you are here. These two little fellows are really a handful. They make a scene day and night. Yet, I won’t be at ease if I let the servants serve them.”

“Alright, alright, leave it to me in the future.” Meng Dajiang didn’t feel tired at all. He carefully teased the two children. “Little Youyou, come, kiss Grandpa.”

The elder sister, Meng You, immediately smiled and kissed him hard. Her younger brother immediately kissed Meng Dajiang and glared at his sister.

“Haha…” Meng Dajiang laughed especially happily.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue saw everything through the window.

“Originally, everything was going well, but he was suddenly framed. I’m still worried about my father,” said Meng Chuan. “From the looks of it, he’s in a good mood.”

“Ah Chuan,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “You’re underestimating Father-in-law too much. When he was young, he served in the military for ten years. He fought many life-and-death battles. He joined the Demon Annihilation Guild for so many years and has been in charge of Earth Net’s intelligence network in Eastcalm Prefecture for the past few years. He has seen countless tragic events. Compared to those, the accusation this time was a trivial matter. Of course, he wouldn’t be too affected by it.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “I’m relieved that Dad is in a good mood.”

“What are your thoughts about Mother-in-law?” Liu Qiyue suddenly asked.

“My mother?” Meng Chuan looked to the northwest. Wu State’s Gu Mountain Prefecture was located in the Great Zhou Dynasty’s southeast region. Black Sand Dynasty was west of the Great Zhou Dynasty. “I never expected my mother to be a Grand Yin Holy Maiden of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven,” said Meng Chuan. “She’s now a Marquis G.o.dfiend, but our family can’t reunite.”

“Is there really no other way?” asked Liu Qiyue. “When we were eating last night, I could sense that Father-in-law really wants a family reunion.”

“Grand Yin Holy Maidens are not allowed to marry and have to maintain their virginity unless they become Grand Yin Holy Hall Master or are stripped of their status as Grand Yin Holy Maiden. This is a public rule of Grand Yin Holy Hall,” said Meng Chuan. “Since my mother’s matter is still a secret to the public, Grand Yin Holy Hall can feign ignorance. However, once my mom wishes to reunite with my dad, the secret of my mother’s early marriage cannot be kept a secret, especially when I—her son—am already in my thirties. According to Grand Yin Holy Hall’s rules, my mom must be punished…”

“Also, the person behind everything is Supremacy Bai Yaoyue.” Meng Chuan said, “If Supremacy Bai Yaoyue doesn’t agree, my mother won’t dare to leave Black Sand Dynasty.”

“Supremacy Bai Yaoyue? How is this Supremacy’s personality?” Liu Qiyue asked.

“I only heard that she’s cold and stern. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s G.o.dfiends fear her,” said Meng Chuan.

“Cold and stern?” Liu Qiyue frowned.

Meng Chuan softly said, “My father was framed this time. Although I’m angry, I haven’t found out who the mastermind is yet. However, I’m very happy. Firstly, my father is safe and sound. Secondly, I now know that my mother is still alive.”

Liu Qiyue hugged Meng Chuan’s arm and gently leaned against him.

“I’m really happy that my mom is alive.” Meng Chuan’s eyes turned slightly red. “I have another goal in my life—to reunite my family so that my parents can be together without obstruction.”

“You can definitely do it,” said Liu Qiyue.

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.

Suddenly—

A bamboo tube flew over from outside. Meng Chuan raised his head and waved his hand. The bamboo tube landed in his palm. The avian demon monarch only flew away when it saw Meng Chuan receive the letter.

Meng Chuan pulled out a letter from the bamboo tube.

“Who sent the letter?” asked Liu Qiyue.

“It’s from Wu State’s Xiangshan Garden.” Meng Chuan looked at the letter and said, “It’s requesting my father to return to Eastcalm Prefecture City as soon as possible to hand over all Earth Net matters completely.”

“Didn’t Father-in-law resign from his Earth Net position? Could it be that the people in charge didn’t manage to hand over matters completely?” Liu Qiyue was puzzled.

Meng Chuan smiled. “I’ll personally send my dad back.”

…

That afternoon, Meng Chuan brought his father, Meng Dajiang, back to Eastcalm Prefecture City.

“These are the intelligence dossiers I left in my residence.” Meng Dajiang pushed out a cart of dossiers and handed them over. “I collected them deliberately. Logically speaking, my subordinates should have a copy of the dossiers. There is more than one copy of every dossier.”

“I’ve just taken over. I’m familiarizing myself with many matters. I need two sets of information to compare.” The thin middle-aged man smiled.

Meng Dajiang nodded.

Meng Chuan said in surprise, “A Great Solar G.o.dfiend is now managing a prefecture’s Earth Net?”

“Senior Brother Meng, you might not know.” The thin middle-aged man was much more humble and respectful when speaking to Meng Chuan. “The G.o.dfiend teams that guarded the various prefectures have all been disbanded.”

“Disbanded?” Meng Chuan was surprised. He really didn’t know of such events.

“All outer sect Great Solar G.o.dfiends will enter Earth Net,” said the thin middle-aged man. “I’m also one of them. We are no longer in charge of fighting. Instead, we only deal with intelligence and investigation.”

Meng Chuan frowned slightly.

The number of Great Solar G.o.dfiends in the Great Zhou Dynasty numbered about 2000. However, all the outer sect Great Solar G.o.dfiends had joined Earth Net? There would be far fewer Great Solar G.o.dfiends fighting the demons now.

“Weak inner sect Great Solar G.o.dfiends don’t have to partic.i.p.ate in battles either,” said the thin middle-aged man. “Only the captain of my former team was transferred to a new team.”

“Oh?” Meng Chuan pondered. He and Liu Qiyue were too powerful, so they weren’t affected. In fact, many G.o.dfiend teams had been disbanded and rea.s.sembled recently.

Could it be related to the large-scale invasion of demon monarchs? From his master, Supremacy Qin Wu, Meng Chuan knew that the demons were about to send demon monarchs in the human world en ma.s.se. The number of demon monarchs entering the human world would far exceed the present number. However, Archean Mountain’s strategy was to reduce the number of G.o.dfiend teams?

…

That night, Meng Chuan brought his father back to Gu Mountain Prefecture City. The elders of the Meng family could manage the family clan’s matters properly, so Meng Dajiang spent his time taking care of his two grandchildren with Liu Yebai.

…

The G.o.dfiend teams were split up, and elite G.o.dfiend teams were formed.

As usual, Meng Chuan and his wife received rescue missions every few days. In this “peaceful period,” the upper echelons of the human race were extremely tense.

“Keep an eye out. Report to me anytime there’s any movement.” At Jade Origins Pa.s.s, Marquis Southcloud gave his orders in his mansion.

“Yes, Marquis.” Earth Net personnel were extremely respectful toward him. They were responsible for monitoring the medium-sized World Entrance at Jade Origins Pa.s.s.

Jade Origins Pa.s.s originally had hundreds of thousands of people living there. However, it had long turned into a desolate city since the Great Relocation Plan had been implemented. Marquis Southcloud and company were hidden within the city pa.s.s.

It wasn’t just Marquis Southcloud. Many other Archean Mountain Marquis G.o.dfiends were guarding medium-sized city pa.s.ses. This was because the humans’ upper echelons were certain that the demons would launch a large-scale invasion! Naturally, killing them as they entered the human world was the most efficient. Meng Chuan—who was still a Great Solar G.o.dfiend—didn’t partic.i.p.ate in this interception mission.
