The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1753: Heading to Kunlun
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
"Is Ji Qian okay? I remember she was poisoned," Ye Shikai suddenly called out.
"Don’t worry, Boss. The poison Lord Moon God was affected by has long been resolved by the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect, Wuyan. After some time recuperating, she has already recovered."
"That’s good, that’s good," Ye Shikai muttered, his past memories slowly resurfacing. Following the events of Ji Qian being poisoned, he recalled the Main God Conference events, where Doris and Aphrodite conspired together, causing heavy losses to the Three Temples members. In the end, it was his decision at fault; he participated in the Main God Conference despite lacking Inner Strength, indirectly leading to the subsequent events.
"In these two months, you must have encountered many dangers," Su Qingyu said with a hint of pity. Seeing Ye Shikai looking so disheveled, she knew. In truth, it wasn’t that he was very dirty, but rather the ancient hygiene conditions really couldn’t compare to the modern times. Additionally, he had been climbing the mountain searching for the tomb earlier, getting muddy, and hadn’t had a chance to clean up.
"To you, it seems like I’ve been missing for two months, but for me, it has been entirely two years," Recalling the experiences during the Qin Dynasty felt like a dream. With his "death," this dream awoke, leaving him no room to recover, too sudden, making him momentarily bewildered.
"It’s definitely not a dream," Ye Shikai murmured, even though this travel sounds absurd, he was convinced it’s not "an insignificant dream." Everything was too real; every minute, every second was palpable, and history unfolded as recorded. Also, he vanished from the Holy Mountain, yet was discovered in Linxian. How could this be explained otherwise; was it sleepwalking?
"I believe you." At this moment, Su Qingyu suddenly said, the three people in the back row were taken aback. Su Qingyu, who holds a master’s degree, actually believed such a thing. Most of them thought Su Qingyu was merely comforting Ye Shikai.
"You say you traveled to the Qin Dynasty, became a General, and even got married; I believe what you said."
"Qingyu, actually... Ling’er looks exactly like you." Ye Shikai shockingly said this, and with these words, not only the three in the back row but also Su Qingyu was stunned.
"It’s true, I’m not lying. When I first saw Ling’er, I was startled too. I even took a photo, but unfortunately... my phone won’t turn on," Ye Shikai lamented, really wanting to prove to everyone and himself that he truly traveled through time. If only he could display the photo of him and He Linghan together from his phone, then it would prove that he indeed traveled, rather than experiencing a "dream."
"Don’t worry, once back in Yanjing, I’ll have my colleagues repair it. They’re all professionals."
"Repair the phone? Why not leave it to me; I’m quite adept at this," Worm said suddenly. Though he’s a hacker, Worm isn’t only skilled with software; hardware is also his strong suit.
"Indeed, Worm is an expert in this field," Zi Yun reiterated, as Ye Shikai’s partial memory lapse made him forget that Worm was a master in this field. Zhang Ting said nothing and directly handed the phone to him.
"I don’t have the tools here, but give me an hour after we’re back in Yanjing, and I’ll fix it."
"The phone doesn’t matter, but I need to preserve the photos inside," Ye Shikai said.
"No problem, Boss."
"By the way, you said Ji Qian is on Kunlun Mountain, right?" Ye Shikai shifted his tone and curiously asked.
"Yes, not just her; the major families of Huaxia have come too, along with Nightmare and Soul Destroyer. Moreover, Lord War God also went there. Now that the War God Temple is destroyed, until a new place is found, they can only stay with the Ji Family."
"Again with the relics," Ye Shikai muttered. All these occurrences were due to these relics. After returning from the Qin Dynasty, his mindset changed, as it was a "survival of the fittest" place, bestowing the clearest "interpretation" of the concept. In a way, he doesn’t long for life in the Qin Dynasty; what he does long for is He Linghan and those brothers, especially He Linghan, Ye Shikai doesn’t want to leave her so messily.
"It’s rumored Kunlun Mountain contains mysterious energy, even capable of bending time and space," Zi Yun suddenly noted. "It’s a pity that Worm and I aren’t cultivators, as Ji won’t let us go."
"Bending time and space; if that’s the case, I might be able to travel back," Ye Shikai murmured. Back then, while on the Holy Mountain, it was a beam of light that sent him to the Qin Dynasty. And Kunlun Mountain is Huaxia’s most mysterious relic, worthy of being Huaxia’s "Holy Mountain." Being there might provide a chance to return.
"I... I must go to Kunlun Mountain, now, immediately," he said, pushing open the car door, intent on leaving.
"Where are you going?" Su Qingyu also got out of the car, blocking his way.
"Qingyu, don’t stop me. I’ll explain the past to you all slowly, but now I must go to Kunlun Mountain. Only there might I have the chance to return," Ye Shikai insisted; at this moment, it seemed this was the only way.
"You’ve just returned, and now you’re going back? Moreover, even if everything you said is true, once you travel back again, can you guarantee you’ll return?" Su Qingyu opened her arms, blocking his path.
"I can’t guarantee it," Ye Shikai softly replied, gently pushing Su Qingyu aside.
"Qingyu, do you know? You and Ling’er truly resemble each other. I genuinely love her, so I must go back," Ye Shikai’s words made Su Qingyu recall their earlier times together. When faced with danger, Ye Shikai disregarded everyone’s dissuasion, risking his life to save her without hesitation. At this moment, Ye Shikai’s attitude towards He Linghan mirrored the way he once treated Su Qingyu.
"Then I will go with you," Su Qingyu hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly said.
"What?" Ye Shikai exclaimed.
"To Kunlun Mountain, if there’s a chance, I too want to see this Ling’er you speak of, to see who she really is."
"Are you crazy?" Ye Shikai retorted. "You don’t know the circumstances there, Qingyu. That era is nothing like now; there’s constant warfare, people dying every day. I absolutely won’t agree to let you go."
"Since you disregard everyone’s opposition and insist on going back, whether I go or not is my decision, which you cannot interfere with," Su Qingyu countered.
"You... you’re threatening me," Ye Shikai realized that Su Qingyu intended to use herself as leverage to prevent him from returning.
