Wang Ye's words instantly solidified the determination in Long Qingtian and Xu Heng's eyes.
Long Qingtian took a deep breath, "We naturally must protect our era of peace and prosperity. According to Wang Ye, the beings in the ancient relics bear us no malice."
"So, can we ask them for help?" Xu Heng asked with a hint of hope on his face. He knew the beings in the ancient relics were very powerful.
If they could get those beings from the ancient relics to help, it would play a critically important role in their upcoming arrangements.
However.
Wang Ye shook his head, "That won't be possible."
Under the gaze of Xu Heng and Long Qingtian, Wang Ye's voice continued, "The beings in the ancient relics, to dissipate the True Qi, might need to break something."
"I personally witnessed consciousnesses, glowing with golden light, surge into it to help unlock the seals, resulting in the True Qi dispersing so quickly."
"And those consciousnesses, they completely vanished, died."
Silence.
Wang Ye's words plunged the office of Long Qingtian into silence for a moment.
After a while, Long Qingtian took a deep breath, "These consciousnesses deserve our respect! Even if it was hundreds of thousands of years ago, and they actually have no connection with us."
"But they were willing to sacrifice themselves for our sake."
"Therefore, we will temporarily seal off the ancient relics, and ten days from now, we will officially hold the Ancient Relic Excavation Ceremony to announce the relics of Taiyuan Mountain to the world and explain the reasons."
"Now, with the True Qi overflowing, it has led to many changes, some good and some bad, at a time when people are fraught with anxiety."
"Using this opportunity, it would also be good to calm everyone down."
...
Three days later.
Suye Group.
As soon as Wang Ye returned to his office at Suye Group, several of his senior sisters crowded around him, including Su Wanqing, Fang Feifei, and Ye Ke'er.
With the anomalies outside and the spread of True Qi, almost the entire Dragon Country was enveloped by it.
Ordinarily non-threatening stray cats and dogs had rapidly swollen in size, and some stray cats had even developed Spiritual Wisdom under the influence of True Qi.
They led other stray cats and dogs to attack people.
And groups of rats raided supermarkets and stores, with such incidents occurring in many places.
Thus, although Wang Ye had always assured Su Wanqing, Fang Feifei, Ye Ke'er, and his other senior sisters that he was fine, they were still very worried.
Only after Wang Ye returned did they finally relax and came forward to check on his injuries, ensuring that he was truly alright before they felt reassured.
"Wang Ye, you have no idea how terrifying the things we've seen recently are. Rats as tall as half a person marching right past us in hordes. If it wasn't for Chen Li and my quick reaction, we might have been discovered by those rats," said Fang Feifei.
"Yes, I also saw a big cat that crazily scratched and bit its former owner who had abandoned it, luckily it didn't intend to harm anyone else."
"Just a few days ago, I bought a loaf of bread, planning to eat it on my way to work, but before I could even open the package, a sparrow swooped down out of nowhere and snatched the bread right out of my hands."
The women around Wang Ye, once they confirmed that Wang Ye was all right, immediately started chattering and complaining to Wang Ye one after another.
It was clear to see, the sudden changes over the past few days had greatly shaken Wang Ye's female seniors and companions.
Listening to them, Wang Ye's expression gradually became more solemn.
In his mind, he recalled what Xu Heng and Long Qingtian had shared with him upon his return from the Military Department.
"Wang Ye, we understand that due to some issues, you are reluctant to join the Military Department, but now, with True Qi overflowing and many places undergoing changes, the lives of ordinary people have been impacted like never before. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Yun City is now in your hands."
"In chaotic times, it's usually the martial arts schools that maintain peace in the region. Since you are the President of the Yuncheng Martial Arts Association, it's your duty to step forward and save Yun City from distress when it faces danger."
Thinking of this, Wang Ye smiled at the women in front of him and said,
"Don't worry, I've returned to Yun City with a responsibility. As the President of the Yun City Martial Arts Association, I'll take care of the safety of Yun City from here on out."
No sooner had Wang Ye spoken,
The women who were just chattering fell silent instantly, their gazes towards Wang Ye filled with worry.
Although they too hoped that when Yun City was in danger and many were at risk, someone would stand up and protect the peace.
However, if that someone happened to be a close person to them, it made it somewhat harder for them to accept.
Because that meant their loved ones would be facing danger, confronting death.
Wang Ye's eldest senior, Xia Qingxin, took a deep breath, her right hand trembling slightly as she raised it, but still she firmly patted Wang Ye's shoulder, a smile appearing on her face as she turned to the other women and said,
"Alright, if our junior brother can shoulder such a heavy burden, it means that he is indeed capable."
"We, as his seniors, must naturally support our junior brother."
Even though Xia Qingxin also found it hard to let Wang Ye face the danger, she knew that since Wang Ye had already made up his mind, they shouldn't hold him back. They should just let him do what he needs to do.
Seeing that Xia Qingxin had spoken, the other women didn't say much anymore, but echoed her sentiment.
And they indicated that if there was anything they could do to help, they would assist Wang Ye in the days to come.
"That's right, Senior Sister Li Ying."
Wang Ye looked towards Li Ying and said, "It's too late to notify some official media channels now, special times call for special measures."
"You hack into everyone's mobile phones within Yun City's area, as well as the public displays in large plazas, and one hour from now, I'll be holding a live broadcast; the more people who see it, the better."
"Sure!"
Li Ying nodded instantly, casting a somewhat proud look at the other seniors.
