The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1758: Warning

"It’s fine, as long as there’s even a slight chance, I’ll try." Ye Shikai was very excited. According to Blade Soul, traveling back to the Qin Dynasty wasn’t impossible.

"Kid, don’t be too careless, time travel is something no one has ever tried." Blade Soul warned.

"What’s the big deal, I have traveled already, and managed to come back successfully. There always has to be someone to try first." Ye Shikai was single-mindedly focused on meeting He Linghan, and was naturally unafraid of danger.

"Indeed, you did travel back successfully, but who knows where you’ll end up next time? Moreover, the major family factions entering Kunlun this time are bound to reach the Secret Realm too. You’re alone, how can you approach them? If it doesn’t go well, you might end up being everyone’s enemy." Blade Soul advised.

"Given that’s the case, I must risk it all and try." Ye Shikai was determined to go to the Kunlun Secret Realm, as only there did he have the chance to travel back.

"What I’m most worried about is not whether you can face these family factions, but rather the traveling itself. In truth, the greatest danger of time travel is not whether you succeed, but that you don’t know where you’ll end up." Blade Soul continued, "Last time, you traveled back to the Qin Dynasty; it’s highly likely that was just a chance event. This time, who knows where you’ll end up? If you end up in the Stone Age, you might not even survive."

"What you say makes some sense." Ye Shikai mused over this. If time travel doesn’t follow one’s will and is random, then he could end up at any past timeline. How could he ensure he returns to the Qin Dynasty? This was uncontrollable.

"But I did manage to return." Ye Shikai calmly said, "If time travel is indeed random, how could it be so coincidentally that I returned to present times? Hence, I believe the timeline can be controlled, just that... I don’t know the method yet."

"Sigh, fine then, I can’t convince you. Since your mind is made up, I’ll accompany you. To be honest, I’ve come to realize that even King Yan might not want to take your life. That day on the execution ground, you were stabbed through, and yet you survived."

"Just watch." Ye Shikai packed up his things and exited the cave.

"Hey, what are you up to?"

"Of course, I’m heading up overnight. We’re already late, we can only move forward while they rest to possibly catch up." Ye Shikai faced the swirling snow, Kunlun Mountain’s weather was unpredictable, and he had anticipated it.

Ye Shikai, holding a flashlight, stepped on snow and slowly ascended the mountain. Although the heavy snow couldn’t harm anyone, it slowed progress, which gave him the chance to catch up.

.....................

Ji Family Camp.

Ye Shikai had a Storage Ring that could hold many items, but others weren’t as fortunate. No matter who they were, upon arrival, they could only stay in simple tents, as Kunlun Mountain didn’t offer luxury hotels for the family factions to stay in, only tents were portable.

The Ji Family numbered over a thousand people, with hundreds of tents erected in varying sizes on flat ground. Ji Family members were constantly patrolling the surrounding area. Interestingly, less than two kilometers from Ji Family camp was the Wang Family camp, and Chen Family camp was not far away too. It’s as if the family factions agreed to gather here, but it was simple logic; having set up so many tents, they needed flat ground, and on the mountain, flat areas were scarce.

In the nearby woods, Ji Qian sat on the grass, gazing skyward as if in thought.

"Didn’t expect you’d come here too." Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Ji Qian turned her head as a silhouette slowly approached in the dark.

"Chen Yuxin, why is it you?" Ji Qian was quite surprised, she hadn’t expected Chen Yuxin to come here late; could it be... she intended to make a move?

"Relax, I’m not here to kill you, put away your weapon." Chen Yuxin sat beside her, "Ji Family’s forces are nearby, I won’t do anything foolish. Besides, you’re not my match, even if I wanted you dead, there’s no need for me to do it personally."

"Then why are you here?" Ji Qian countered.

"Nothing much, just want to talk to you."

In truth, Ji Qian didn’t want to bother with Chen Yuxin. In her heart, she loathed this woman, thinking Ye Shikai marrying her was absolutely a mistake.

"Do you hate me very much?" Chen Yuxin asked.

"So what if I do?" Ji Qian spoke candidly. She wasn’t a straightforward person, but with no one around, she felt free to speak.

"Then you can attack me now. Even if you kill me here, no one will see."

"You... I couldn’t care less about killing you." Ji Qian was somewhat upset; though she indeed wanted to act, Chen Yuxin carried Ye Shikai’s child. For the unborn child, even if Ji Qian had murder in her heart, she couldn’t act.

"With the Chen family in full swing, why did you come here, while pregnant?" Ji Qian sarcastically remarked, "Your marriage hinges completely on the child in your belly, ensure you can keep it, or else your pitiable marriage won’t hold."

"Don’t think being Ji Family’s eldest daughter makes me afraid to act." Upon hearing this, Chen Yuxin’s face turned steel-gray. What she couldn’t tolerate was others criticizing her marriage, especially Ji Qian being her love rival. She couldn’t bear it.

"Humph, you haven’t answered my question." Ji Qian coldly said.

"You ask why I came here, I counter; why did you come here? We both know the reasons for our presence." Chen Yuxin replied, "Your reason for coming, mirrors mine."

"You’re after the rumored energy within the Secret Realm?" Ji Qian countered. If so, it was indeed possible. With Ye Shikai missing, Chen Yuxin was worried, perhaps she thought of this too.

"That’s right. Even though I don’t believe in the concept of time travel, he vanished from the Holy Mountain without reason; your search spanned months, yielded nothing. This seems to be the only explanation." Chen Yuxin’s face suddenly flickered with a hint of murderous intent.

"If it weren’t for you all, how would he go to the Holy Mountain and disappear? I’m warning you, if anything happens to him, I’ll definitely take your lives." Chen Yuxin’s words were not mere intimidation; should she lose her senses, she’d do combat with the Three Temples, implicating the Ji Family too.

"I should be warning you, for your selfish desires, you severely injured him, that debt remains unsettled."
