C1606
After the arena battle, the situation of the Four Territories stabilized, for example, the northern border was independent, the western border was Jun Tianxia's, the southern border was Young Master Wu Hen's, and the central border was the joint domain of the two.
Nether Emperor had given up on Hua Ruge, so now there was no longer any chaos in the Four Territories.
They felt that they would rather sacrifice their faith energy to kill Hua Ruge and the rest. However, ever since that day, Huo Xi had suffered a blow to his body, and even though he did not want to see anyone, he did not want to give any orders.
In the past, Light God would still ask about a few things, but after the last great battle, he gave Huo Xi the authority of the Divine Hall to heal his own wounds. Thus, the elders did not receive the orders from the Holy Maiden, and no one dared to take action.
Just as Young Master Wu Hen had said, Hua Ruge only needed three days to completely recover from his serious injuries, while the Nether Emperor was still recovering.
After hearing that there were guests in Imperial Advisor'S Mansion, she also left the palace and went straight to her own residence.
Just as she reached the entrance, she saw that the guard's gaze towards her had changed. It was a look of adoration.
"State Advisor, we went to watch you fight that day, it was too awesome." The guard leader said to his face.
Because Hua Ruge didn't bother with small details, he had long become familiar with his subordinates, so he spoke to them casually.
Hua Ruge nodded, enjoying the compliment very much.
"State Advisor, all the brothers are looking forward to your return. When are you going to go to the martial ring to teach these kids a lesson?" The leader said again.
"Sure." Hua Ruge then walked in and asked: "Young Master Wu Hen still lives in the original courtyard?"
"Yes."
When Hua Ruge walked over, Xiao Jiu was in the courtyard practicing his sword techniques with a wooden sword.
The Young Master Wu Hen sat at the table drinking tea, supervising her.
Seeing Hua Ruge entering the courtyard, Xiao Jiu's charming eyes lit up, he immediately threw down the wooden sword and rushed towards Hua Ruge.
As a result, the moment Hua Ruge entered the courtyard, he was hugged by a bear, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Elder sister Ru Ge, you're finally back. Xiao Jiu misses you." Xiao Jiu said as he hugged.
"Child, let go of me first." Hua Ruge pulled her off his body, sized her up, and could not help but nod his head in satisfaction.
Although she had seen Xiao Jiu many times before, Xiao Jiu's face still gave her a sense of awe every time she looked at him.
Xiao Jiu changed the topic and hugged her arm, saying, "I heard that Elder Sister Ru Ge won against Nether Emperor, you sure are mighty."
Hua Ruge smiled without the slightest trace of modesty, and at the same time, looked at Young Master Wu Hen and said: "Long time no see, your temperament is still as good as ever."
"You still know how to cause trouble." Young Master Wu Hen smiled and poured her a cup of tea.
Hua Ruge sat down, and Xiao Jiu followed suit.
Young Master Wu Hen glanced at her.
Xiao Jiu promptly leaned towards Hua Ruge, and said with a pleading tone of voice: "Big Sister Ruge, it's too difficult for me not to practice the sword."
Seeing that, Hua Ruge understood what she meant, she did not want to be her life mentor to reason with her, so she said: "Then let's rest for a day, I'll plead for your help."
"Mhmm, big sister Ru Ge is the best." Xiao Jiu said happily.
Young Master Wu Hen shook his head slightly, looked at Hua Ruge helplessly, and said: "I really can't do anything about you."
"It doesn't matter if you take a day off now and then." Hua Ruge stroked Xiao Jiu's head and said somewhat dotingly.
Young Master Wu Hen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he replied, "That's not even a day. You came today, yesterday you were injured from training and the day before yesterday you ate too much. Ask her which day she has no excuse."
Hua Ruge was startled, Xiao Jiu was already lying on her shoulder, pouting: "Training sword is not fun at all."
"It's to give you the ability to defend yourself. You can't be like this in the future, can you?" Hua Ruge rarely lectured.
Xiao Jiu could only weakly nod when he saw that the two of them were of the same caliber.
The Young Master Wu Hen chuckled, "It's still useful if you say that. The longer you stay by my side, the more disobedient you become."
"He's just a kid, teach him slowly." Hua Ruge also laughed.
Xiao Jiu nodded on the side.
Young Master Wu Hen shook his head, looked at her and asked: "What plans do you have for the future?"
"I haven't decided yet." Hua Ruge said truthfully: "Previously I had wholeheartedly wanted to take over the Nether Emperor, but now that I have achieved my goal, I have no plans for the next step."
"Yes." The Young Master Wu Hen expressed his understanding.
"I really want to face him in a head-on battle, but our foundation is too weak, and we are not the match for him." Hua Ruge sighed.
Every time she thought about how Tuoba Rui was still in the Light God Palace, she felt extremely anxious. However, she couldn't rush such things, so he could only wait.
The Young Master Wu Hen nodded his head: "We can't act rashly right now. We'll wait for a while more to develop."
"But the prerequisite is that the Light God Palace does not take action. This time, I have revealed some trump cards, and I think that they will not sit idly by." Hua Ruge said.
Young Master Wu Hen frowned: "You said that they will covet your methods?"
"Probably." Hua Ruge squinted his eyes: "If they are to make a move, we need to have a plan."
"Now that we're at a disadvantage, we have to think of a way to restrain them." The Young Master Wu Hen spoke up.
Hua Ruge thought for a while, then said: "I sent a letter to Ah Li, and asked her if there was anything she could do."
"Yes." Young Master Wu Hen said: "We should be prepared here."
"I don't think so." Hua Ruge thought for a while and said: "If you want to make a move, then do it while I'm injured.
Young Master Wu Hen looked at her and said, "You seem to understand the way things are done there quite well."
"I've been dealing with him for a long time." Hua Ruge said casually.
"Then what do you think Huo Xi will do?"
Hua Ruge thought for a moment, sighed, and pointed to himself: "Against me, even if you didn't openly kill me, you would have still thought of a way to control me, and then force me to hand over those treasures."
When she said this, her expression was a little sad. When she was once a love rival with Su Nianxia, no matter how much that girl struggled in her heart, she would laugh in front of her. She had never blushed before.
"You can't take this risk. Although our overall strength is still lacking, we can still fight." Young Master Wu Hen's expression became serious.
Hua Ruge shook his head: "We should think about the big picture and not make a move. Believe me, we can still strive for a bit more."
"No, the current Huo Xi isn't the Su Nianxia from back then. She doesn't remember who you are, so you can't have any hope in her." The Young Master Wu Hen reminded her.
"I hope for myself." Hua Ruge was calm.
Seeing her like this, Young Master Wu Hen sighed: "You probably already thought of this before fighting stage."
Hua Ruge was usually careless, there would never be a mistake when planning things out. Since he dared to reveal his trump card, then he must have thought of the consequences.2
