The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1783: Continuing the Journey

No wonder we haven’t encountered the Chen family along the way, no wonder Chen Yuxin wasn’t worried at all. It turns out that the Chen family had already found a shortcut.

Ji Qian felt vaguely annoyed, she should have thought of this long ago. How could Chen Yuxin be so "leisurely"? There must be another shortcut to bypass the Heavenly Chasm, so the Chen family had been deliberately staying at the back of all the families, ensuring that no one could detect their movements. Then, Chen Yuxin could be at the forefront, reaching the Kunlun Secret Realm first.

"The leaders of the Shadow Organization are indeed highly skilled. The Three Temples are currently weak; if you encounter them, it’s bound to be dangerous," Ji Qian said, still a bit shaken. Among everyone in the Shadow Organization, she remembered Feng Ling the most clearly. That woman seemed ordinary, yet her skill surpassed Ji Qian’s. Like Chen Ruoya, she was a confidante of Chen Yuxin. Soul Destroyer was seriously injured, but at least... none of their leaders perished.

"Our food and water supplies are also depleted, but thankfully we found you," Wang Kai sighed. "Otherwise, we might have had to descend the mountain."

"Right, I have good news for you," Ji Qian suddenly said.

"What is it?"

"He’s back." Ji Qian only said four words, but the eyes of the four widened in surprise.

"The ’he’ you’re talking about, you mean... the Boss?"

"That’s right, I saw him with my own eyes, just after the avalanche," Ji Qian nodded.

"That’s great." Ghost was the most excited; news of Ye Shikai’s return was indeed unexpected for everyone, like a needle lost in the ocean that miraculously came back on its own.

"We came to Kunlun Mountain this time to try and find traces of the Lord. Now that the Lord’s back, it’s the greatest gain we could have," Nightmare also nodded, expressing relief.

"Since Old Ye is back, bring him over. We haven’t seen him in ages," Wang Kai eagerly said.

"But... he’s not here," Ji Qian said with her head lowered.

"Why not? Didn’t Old Ye stay with you?"

"He left again because I made him mad," Ji Qian confessed without hiding it. She regretted her impulsiveness that day, and now Ye Shikai’s whereabouts were uncertain again.

"What? How could this happen?" Everyone was astonished again, feeling a sharp drop from great joy to great shock.

"This issue is somewhat complex, and to be honest, I’m not entirely clear about it," Ji Qian hesitated. She only knew that Ye Shikai had "married" another wife, a woman from the Qin Dynasty, but hesitated to tell the four in front of her, thinking they might not believe it.

Ji Qian didn’t understand what kind of person Ye Shikai’s so-called "wife" was. Perhaps she should have listened to Ye Shikai calmly explain back then, but now it’s meaningless to think about it. Ye Shikai’s departure is a fact.

Ji Qian told the four everything she knew, including Ye Shikai’s time travel. Like her, when they first heard it, they were doubtful, but they ultimately chose to believe.

"No matter what, the Boss has already returned, and that’s the best news. Besides, he’s still on Kunlun Mountain. As long as we move forward, we’re bound to find him," Ghost reassured everyone.

"Yes, I believe in the Lord and believe in ourselves that we can certainly find the Lord,"

"However, since the Chen family took the shortcut, shouldn’t they be ahead of us?" Wang Kai questioned.

"They should be; if the shortcut was slower, Chen Yuxin wouldn’t have chosen it," Ji Qian nodded, her mind pondering something else. That day, when all families crossed the Heavenly Chasm, she didn’t see any trace of Ye Shikai. Could it be that he also took the shortcut...

"Why don’t we set out overnight? All the families are traveling by day and camping at night. If we travel day and night, we can certainly catch up ahead of time," Wang Kai suggested. Although Ji Qian wanted to leave with them, she was, after all, the eldest daughter of the Ji Family and their future leader. Leaving at this crucial moment wouldn’t do. Moreover, Ji Tao wouldn’t agree either.

"Lord Moon God, you still have Ji Family matters to handle, so you don’t need to act with us," Ghost perceived Ji Qian’s dilemma and kindly said to avoid her embarrassment.

"If you need anything, just tell me. If it’s within my ability, you’ll have it."

"Firstly, we need some supplies, food, water, and tents."

"Don’t worry, I’ll have someone deliver them to you immediately," Ji Qian agreed.

"Additionally, we need some manpower," Ghost said with some difficulty. "There are only four of us left, and it’s inconvenient to do anything. We need some people to assist."

"Alright, after the avalanche, I’ve gradually gathered some members from the scattered Three Temples for you, and I’ll also have my personal guards under your command."

"Good."

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

"Kai, what have you been through lately?" On the other side of Kunlun Mountain, in the Chen family camp, Chen Yuxin sat beside Ye Shikai. The weather was cold, and she couldn’t help but lean towards Ye Shikai.

"There’s nothing to say." Ye Shikai gently pushed her away and turned around to warm himself by the fire.

"Are we at a point where we can’t even talk?" Chen Yuxin felt a bit down, as Ye Shikai’s coldness towards her was more chilling than the harsh external cold.

"Alright, what do you want to know?" Ye Shikai sighed, finally turning around to face Chen Yuxin.

"You were in the Qin Dynasty for two months; it must have been tough. How was it there? Did you encounter any danger?"

"To be precise, it was two years. I stayed there for a full two years, and when I returned, only two months had passed here," Ye Shikai fell into thought again. When he first arrived in the Qin Dynasty, there were many things he wasn’t accustomed to, being two thousand years apart. However, he adapted quickly, not only physically but mentally, to the point where he considered himself a Qin Dynasty person.

"Two years? How did that happen? You must have suffered a lot."

"Suffer, did I?" Ye Shikai mumbled. Although in that war-torn era, peace seemed a luxury, his time there was fulfilling. Despite frequently going to war, with He Linghan by his side, all pain faded away.
