My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!

Chapter 550 - 275: Didn’t King Qi Always Have No Interest in Her?

Meanwhile, in Sui City.

The three siblings traveled day and night, and had just arrived in Sui City, still a hundred miles away from Dingbei Pass.

Yun Wanchen and Yun Wanye entered a noodle shop, planning to have a bite, rest briefly, and then continue their journey.

Suddenly, Yun Wanqing’s shocked voice echoed in their minds.

[What???]

[Did it really work????]

Hmm?

The two brothers exchanged glances and then simultaneously turned to her.

"What’s wrong, little sister? Is there new information from Su Qianxue?"

[Yes, there is.]

Yun Wanqing nodded, her pair of dark eyes looked at Yun Wanye, then raised her head to look at Yun Wanchen, her delicate and cute face full of disbelief.

[Although I don’t know the specifics, the system shows the task is completed.]

When Su Qianxue was on horseback seducing Mo Yuanhao, she did not communicate with the system.

Therefore, Yun Wanqing could not see the details and could only rely on her clever mind to speculate.

[Oh, right. It’s about the previous task issued by the system for Su Qianxue to do that with King Qi.]

[Big brother, second brother, you should understand what I mean by that, right?]

[Now that the task is completed, it means Su Qianxue has found King Qi and done that with him.]

[It’s really strange, wasn’t King Qi always uninterested in her? How did they suddenly become so close?]

[Could it be due to Su Qianxue traveling miles to pursue him, touching him and causing affection?]

[Or did Su Qianxue use some means via the system to control him??]

[Alternatively, without interference, did the Plot intervene and cause an unexpected event between them???]

Unaware of the truth, Yun Wanqing could only guess wildly, considering nearly every possibility.

But soon, she sighed bitterly.

[Ah, regardless of the process, the result is the same.]

[Now, Su Qianxue has completed the task, and the system must have gained a lot of points, upgrading its functions and becoming more formidable.]

[Who knows what changes will occur once we reach Dingbei Pass.]

After hearing this, the expressions of Yun Wanchen and Yun Wanye grew extremely solemn.

The two did not expect Mo Yuanhao, stationed in the military camp, would be so easily approached, enabling Su Qianxue to complete the task so quickly.

Could it be due to the butterfly effect caused by their plan to escape system surveillance in Linxi Town and shake off Su Qianxue?

If that is true, whether his painstaking effort to shake off Su Qianxue was right or wrong?

Yun Wanchen plunged into confusion and regret.

If he had resisted the pressure of surveillance and kept Su Qianxue hanging, perhaps she wouldn’t have used Teleportation Item to teleport directly to Dingbei Pass to complete the task.

Father wouldn’t have to face such an immense unknown threat.

Just thinking of Yun Wanqing’s earlier comment about Su Qianxue intending to hand over the border defense map to Duo Chen Crane, but being stopped by the system, made Yun Wanchen shiver from the bottom of his heart.

This woman is ruthless.

To complete the task, she can totally ignore the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers at the Border.

Their survival might be insignificant, but once the border defenses are breached, countless border residents and subsequent towns will face annihilation.

If not promptly suppressed, the flames of war will quickly spread to Haojing, and by then, the entire Da Wu Country will suffer.

Minor incidents could incite rebellion, turning the Court into an enemy, while major incidents could lead to the fall of the Imperial Family and a change of dynasty.

And their Yun Family will be perpetual sinners of history.

"Ye’er, little sister, I seem to have made a mistake..."

Yun Wanchen’s throat moved, his expression heavy, and his voice filled with deep regret.

Upon hearing this and seeing his current state, Yun Wanye and Yun Wanqing understood why he was feeling this way.

It must be due to the unforeseen events of late.

But all this was destiny’s trick, and he didn’t want things to turn out this way.

Unable to bear his sadness and self-reproach, Yun Wanqing clasped his hand in comfort.

[Big brother, don’t think like that. It’s not your fault.]

[Anything that hasn’t happened has the potential for change.]

[Even if big brother didn’t find a way to shake off Su Qianxue, keeping her along, she might have gotten tired or couldn’t endure the journey’s hardships and directly teleported to Dingbei Pass.]

[No one expected Su Qianxue to consider abandoning the task due to the harsh Dingbei Pass conditions, only for the system to erase her memory.]

[Every day brings unexpected events, beyond anyone’s control, so big brother doesn’t need to take all the responsibility upon himself.]

[This might truly be fate.]

After Yun Wanqing’s comforting words, Yun Wanye nodded in agreement.

"Little sister is right; this matter is not big brother’s fault, and he should not blame himself."

"Now that things have happened, rather than regretting, we should think about the future."

"Since this woman had the idea of sending the defense plan to Duochen Hele, there’s no guarantee she won’t do something even more outrageous in the future."

This time, the system stopped her from acting crazily solely because of Mo Yuanhao.

Duochen Hele is too ruthless, and the system was worried that if Mo Yuanhao fell into his hands, he’d be killed.

If Mo Yuanhao wasn’t at Dingbei Pass this time...

Yun Wanye could hardly imagine how things would turn out.

With this factor in play, he’s particularly worried; what if next time it has nothing to do with Mo Yuanhao and Su Qianxue has system support, what will happen?

"So, we must hurry to Dingbei Pass. As long as we get there, we have a chance to ruin all her actions."

"Then the potential danger father faces will be smaller. Yes, that’s the decision: after finishing this meal, we’ll continue on our journey."

If they ride non-stop, they should reach Dingbei Pass by midnight at the latest.

Both brothers carry Yun Zheng’s token. While they cannot mobilize the army, they can certainly meet Yun Zheng.

"Alright."

Persuaded by the siblings, Yun Wanchen felt somewhat relieved and transformed all his self-blame into motivation to face all upcoming changes.

After hurriedly finishing their meal, the two brothers mounted Yun Wanqing on the horse.

With frost and dew, the horse galloped tirelessly.

The thick fox fur kept out all the cold wind. In her brother’s warm embrace, Yun Wanqing slept sweetly with her eyes closed.

She was completely unaffected by the hardship of traveling and the harshness of winter, even the bumps on horseback felt like a cradle to her, making her incredibly comfortable and at ease.

But it was tough for the two brothers.

Da-da-da...

In the silent night, this sound of hooves was particularly conspicuous.

Moreover, the sound was getting closer, undoubtedly heading straight here.

Outside the military camp, the guarding soldiers instantly drew their swords and strung their arrows, focusing intently on the direction from which the sound came.

"Be vigilant, horses are approaching, be alert for night raids."

Before long, two strong horses appeared within the highly alert sights of many soldiers.

Huh, only two horses, their attire clearly showing they’re people of Da Wu Country, should not be a raid.

The centurion breathed a sigh of relief but did not completely relax, still remaining vigilant inside.

He led a few men forward, and the horses stopped before him.

The torch flickered, obscuring the visitors’ appearances; they could only faintly see that they were two young men.

"This is a military restricted area, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach. Who are you to dare come here?"

Being stopped was completely expected.

The brothers were not ones to make things difficult for others, so they were not irritated in the slightest.

Yun Wanchen fetches a Mystic Iron Order from his chest and tosses it towards the other.

"This is the Duke Ning Mansion’s token. My brother and I have come to see Duke Ning, Commander of Dingbei Pass. You may bring the torch closer to recognize us."

The siblings have spent a long time in the military camp, and many soldiers know them.

But the issue is, with the constant troop movements and battle casualties, personnel continuously change, and now those guarding at night are only a small part of them.

Therefore, Yun Wanchen was uncertain whether this person would recognize him.

The centurion caught the token and examined it several times, recognizing it as indeed a token from the Commander Mansion.

He then took the torch from a subordinate and approached the horse, instantly revealing a striking face which had an indescribable familiarity.

The centurion was slightly stunned, a wave of astonishment washed over him, and he instinctively glanced at the token in his hand again, then towards the silver-clad gentleman on the horse, who projected an aura of nobility.

"Are you perhaps the young master from the Commander Mansion?"

This face, eyes carried the likeness of the commander.

Combined with the token in his hand, the centurion felt strongly that this remarkable gentleman was certainly the famed first son of Duke Ning Mansion from Haojing, renowned as bright as the moon.

"Indeed, I am Yun Wanchen, sent by my mother to visit my father, and this is my brother Yun Wanye."

"So it’s the two young masters, pardon me, pardon me. Would the young masters please wait a moment? I shall send someone to notify the commander right away."

Having confirmed their identities, the centurion’s attitude transformed instantly, becoming extraordinarily respectful.

But in such a crucial military area, no mistakes can be afforded.

Hence, even after verifying they were the commander’s sons, he did not let them through immediately but sent someone to report and waited for the commander’s orders.

The centurion casually pointed at a soldier, instructing him to deliver the message.

After the soldier turned away, he looked at Yun Wanchen and Yun Wanye again, lowering his posture and offering a smile.

"Military regulations are strict; I cannot let the young masters pass, please forgive my hands being tied."

"Centurion, no need to say more. My brother and I understand, rest assured, we shall wait here."

A centurion is equivalent to a commanding officer.

In Da Wu Country, each rank of soldiers has distinctive features, making them very easy to recognize.

Thus, Yun Wanchen could identify the man’s position without the need for him to introduce himself.
