Chapter 1117 - 634: Outsiders_2

Just like the Yang Family promised when they founded the Danai Empire:

This glory will not be exclusive to the Yang Family!

The previous Puzzle Solver is the answer.

But it’s too early to talk about this now. Yang Genshuo just silently remembered the role each one played for future rewards.

"Ancestor, this kind of uneasiness... is due to some key information not being revealed, they left an important riddle unsolved."

"The riddle... yes! There’s a riddle!"

Yang Genshuo suddenly recalled which one Yang Qiangjing was talking about.

"The identity of the Mouse Servants!"

"That’s right, Ancestor. Actually, I agree with No. 9’s ’role theory’, playing and understanding roles in this story might be key to passing through it... You showed me every [Character Card], and the [Mouse Servant]’s card has an unresolved question."

[Why would anyone willingly take such a hard job in this desolate countryside, why are so many Government Officials flocking here?]

This clue had always been overlooked; Yang Genshuo previously regarded it as background information, just seeing it without considering it as the key to solving the puzzle.

"Oh... according to No. 9’s method, we rescued the real Government Officials, got rewarded, then the Government Officials went to deal with the rat infestation... if this story ends, then the riddle is left unsolved."

"Ancestor, we’re viewing from an outsider’s perspective... able to see the whole picture, while ignoring immediate sensory influences, hence we notice something feels off... are the Government Officials truly innocent? What makes them flock to the station? Have they said anything strange?"

Yang Qiangjing, having not seen the full process, only heard Yang Genshuo’s recounting, suspected there might be other missing information.

"Is there more... there is, it consumes three-tenths! The Mouse Servants have said this, telling them to take some grain from their own supplies to cook... hiss~ I get it!"

At this moment, Yang Genshuo suddenly grasped the mind of the story!

Viewing this from the perspective of modern thinking and Blue Star’s history... suddenly everything became clear!

"Actually, the real cause of all this... is the Government Officials!"

"We still haven’t solved the riddle!"

"Oh Mouse Servants, oh Mouse Servants... turns out the riddle was always on the surface."

After hearing Yang Genshuo’s analysis, Yang Qiangjing nodded directly.

"Perhaps this is the real riddle in this story... yet I still have a small problem."

"What is it?"

"You said Yang Zhushuang obtained extra treasures, while others didn’t find them?"

"Yes... perhaps it’s just luck."

"I hope so."

Yang Qiangjing did not say much, and looked outside... everyone Yang Minrui uses in the whole Danai Empire now seems to be Yang Minrui’s people; is this coincidence or a special choice?

Bang bang bang~

"Leader, I have an urgent matter to report!"

Yang Minrui and Yang Minyong stood outside anxiously knocking on the door.

Yang Genshuo and Yang Qiangjing exchanged a glance across the air.

"Come in."

"Something happened, Aunt! There are several riots in the city, our security management lacks manpower, already completely out of control, please let the Sky Dragon Army’s second and third battalions come out to suppress the riots together!"

"Riots?"

Yang Qiangjing stood up and looked out the window.

They saw a large crowd gathered near the west city wall, the noise growing louder, and magic shining brightly, with the smell of gunpowder already very strong.

"What’s happening? Focus on the key points."

Yang Minyong said: "Yesterday, some people on the city wall saw a vision outside, after a night of fermentation and brewing, everyone in the city knows a new Legendary Land has opened... they all want to explore the Legendary Land and demand us to open the city gates."

"How do they know it’s a Legendary Land... Didn’t I tell you to block the news? Whose side made the mistake!"

Yang Qiangjing’s eyes glanced over the two, intimidating without anger.

Yang Minrui sighed.

"Aunt, even though we’ve been trying our best to cover it up... the city has too many people, we can’t look after everyone, a group from the Illusion Sect from Spirit Miao Continent not only fully recorded the vision yesterday with an Imprint Stone, they deduced through an Array that the Legendary Land outside has not yet reached full capacity, can accommodate more people, and spread this news... all over the city."

Hearing this, Yang Genshuo felt it was tricky.

The Legendary Land symbolizes supreme opportunities, and this chance is something most ordinary cultivators can’t encounter in many years.

Just like the ’Flowing Water Tribe’ that the Yang Family controls nowadays, opening once every five years, they almost fight over the family shares of spots, it’s impossible to share the treasures inside with others.

They tried their best to cover up this Legendary Land and declared that area as a forbidden zone, not allowing ordinary people to pass through.

Now, the Legendary Land ’White Grain Warehouse’ has been known to everyone in Bright City...

What to do?

Yang Qiangjing’s gaze drifted outward, eyebrows lightly furrowed.

"If this matter isn’t handled well... it could shake the decades-old reputation and status of the Yang Family."

The Yang Family promised everyone equality.

Now, with the emergence of good things, if they are kept only for themselves... then the Yang Family is effectively slapping themselves.

Yang Minrui had a wry smile on his face.

"That’s why we didn’t dare to make decisions presumptuously and came over to consult you promptly."

If it’s not handled well now, it’ll be a people’s rebellion.

Yang Qiangjing pondered for a moment and engaged in Divine Sense communication with Yang Genshuo:

"Ancestor, what do you think we should do?"

Previously, it was like one person deciding alone; now, there’s someone to discuss with, and Yang Qiangjing felt more secure.

"Water can carry a boat, and can also overturn it... we cannot become the enemies of the masses."

Yang Qiangjing shook her head lightly.

"But I don’t want them to go in to die... the danger level in the White Grain Warehouse within the Legendary Land is high, ordinary people will find it difficult to come out, if they go in, it would be irresponsible for their lives."

"However... at this moment, whatever you say as danger for their good, they’ll misunderstand..."

"Being misunderstood is what we should bear... Ancestor, I plan to talk to everyone first."

"I hope you can persuade those who are already red-eyed... I’m going to crack the real story with them."

Yang Qiangjing respects people’s lives, but Yang Genshuo thinks at such times... people have already lost reason.

Before Yang Qiangjing left, she suddenly looked back at Yang Minyong, casually asking:

"Was it really Illusion Sect people who spread the news?"

Originally following behind, Yang Minyong staggered slightly, his face changed suddenly, opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything... momentarily being questioned!

Yang Minrui quickly responded upon seeing this: "It definitely is... we’ve interviewed many people, if you don’t believe me, you can ask them later."

"Oh..."

Just as Yang Qiangjing wanted to continue questioning, the sound of airflow surging came from the sky.

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes turned to the sky...

A gigantic Treasure Ship flew out of the void and descended over Bright City, blocked outside by the city’s Array.

"Hey~~~ Yang City Lord, open the gate!"

Upon seeing this Treasure Ship, Yang Qiangjing’s face darkened.

"Why have they come..."

At the Yang Family’s most chaotic moment, a group of foreign outsiders they wished least to see arrived.
