Wang Tianzong took away Wang Yuetong from the door of East Emperor Palace with no trouble at all.

Liu Shuanghua, the intelligence giant of Zhongzhou State, personally drove the car. The car body was slightly shaking. The light illuminated the flower beds by the roadside.

Wang Yuetong looked back in front of the opened car door.

In her sight, Li Tianlan still stood there without showing his feelings.

Wang Yuetong bit her red lips to prevent herself from crying. She just earnestly watched the figure bathed in the moonlight in the door.

Behind her were light and night wind. The wind blew the autumn leaves to the sky. Meanwhile, her dress and hair fluttered in the light of the night. There was a kind of heartbroken sorrow.

The man was silent and quiet when they first met.

The man was ruthless and decisive during the entrance maneuver.

The man stood in front of her in a dangerous situation and burned the sky with one stroke.

The man saved her but insisted on getting even with her.

They did not spend a lot of time together, but their feelings needed not to be measured with time.

Meeting, acquaintance, intimacy, until parting.

It was not until this moment when Wang Yuetong clearly felt his importance in her heart.

He was so vital that she could not part with him.

She had long been obsessed with this kind of sense of comfort while staying with him, even if she knew from the beginning that they would have no future.

Never had she imagined that this affection would not end up with a satisfactory ending.

Wang Yuetong laughed with tearful eyes. She appeared to be delicate and touching.

She was fascinated with a man for the first time in her life. The so-called first love was sweet and bitter.

Wang Yuetong waved her hand.

The crystal tears finally fell on the ground.

Li Tianlan was resolved and did not move.

The black car kept moving away along the road and eventually disappeared into the distance.

He could not saw her, and he could not had a desire for her too.

Li Tianlan finally felt the loneliness, almost emptiness, even if he knew that Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng would return soon.

…

Qin Weibai had nothing to do with him.

Wang Yuetong returned to Beihai.

With his grandfather’s support, the Li family began to live for themselves. It also had nothing to do with him.

Even his few friends had their own forces behind them.

Li Tianlan’s foundation was utterly ruined.

As he lost his martial arts, he seemed to have no liability.

Until this time, Li Tianlan discovered that he had nothing at all except for the responsibility he bore.

Nothing!

Li Tianlan ghastly smiled. He looked lonely in the night. No words could describe this kind of mental state—loneliness, desolation, helplessness, and confusion.

He stood there as if he had lost his soul.

He seemed to disappear in the cold night. He became vague and lifeless.

At the entrance of East Emperor Palace, two security guards looked at each other with eyes full of doubt and solemness.

After all, they were not ordinary security guards so that they could feel Li Tianlan’s state of silence much more acutely than others.

They did not know this state was good or bad, so they felt a bit awkward.

“Go and see?”

The tall and thin security guard frowned and asked, but he subconsciously moved to Li Tianlan.

The short and fat security guard hesitated and followed silently.

Without any sound, Li Tianlan opened his eyes again.

His eyes became more peaceful than ever.

The two security guards came to him.

The three men stared blankly at the same time.

The tall and thin security guard smiled honestly and said soothingly, “Boss, do you want to drink? Homemade rice wine, and it won’t go to your head.”

“I’m not your boss.”

Li Tianlan shook his head and quietly looked at the security guard in front of him. “What’s your name?”

“Li Dazhuang.”

The tall and thin security guard remained honest.

“Li Erwang.”

The short and fat one acted naively.

Even though Li Tianlan was in a bad mood, he was almost amused by the two men. He shook his head, pointed to the duty room in front of the door, and went in first.

The simple duty room had 20-inch color television, two hard beds, a computer with power off, a new hanger with clothes and electric baton, a small table in the center of the room, as well as a bottle of wine without trademark and a dish of peanuts on the table.

Li Tianlan glanced at the room and shook his head, saying, “You’re wronged.”

“No. We think it’s good for high wages, a good environment, and a cushy job. Boss, don’t be too polite. Please sit down.”

‘Li Dazhuang’ greeted him warmly as if he felt extremely flattered.

“Stop pretending.”

Li Tianlan said indifferently, “High wages? I can’t afford wages for two security guards of Thunder-shocking Realm, even if I sell my blood. I feel wronged for you since you’re here.”

He got a camp chair and sat down. Noticing that the two men looked stiff, he calmly said, “Which force?”

The two security guards were looking at each other in dismay, with confusion and embarrassment in their eyes. However, they still tried to pretend to be dazed.

“Wang family of Beihai? Jiang family of South America? Kunlun City? Sigh City? or…”

Li Tianlan did not continue to speak.

When it came to this, it would not make any sense if you still want to keep in something. The two security guards smiled wryly and hesitated for a while. The tall and thin security guard bowed first and said gently, “Bamboo Grove here to greet Your Highness.”

“Volcano here to greet Your Highness.”

The fat man also bent down with respect.

Li Tianlan was not surprised. Although he mentioned several forces, he knew precisely about their stance. Now, his perception was amazing and beyond imagination. Despite he could not accurately judge their strength, he could be sure that they almost be at the peak of Thunder-shocking Realm. Such experts spent several months here and took no action. Moreover, they did not attack him after his return. Thus, they were not likely to be enemies.

He was the Young Governor of Sigh City now.

They called him Your Highness.

With a self-deprecating smile, Li Tianlan asked, “Are you from the Samsara Palace?”

“Your Highness, how did you find out that we are suspicious?”

The man, code-named Bamboo Grove, asked. Obviously, he was the leader of the two. He wore a security uniform and looked honest, without any style of an expert. However, Li Tianlan could see through them at a glance. They found it unbelievable.

“If Wang Tianzong can see it, so can I. Even if he can’t see it, I can.”

Li Tianlan said quietly, “Are you really from Samsara Palace?”

“Samsara Palace has already withdrawn from Zhongzhou State.”

Bamboo Grove said with a smile, “Everyone knows this matter. We…”

He was a little hesitant and finally said, “We belong to Saber.”

“Saber?”

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and looked weird. “Is it an organization?”

“Yes.”

Bamboo Grove said in a calm voice. He seemed to read his doubts and whispered, “It’s a secret organization. Military Counselor is our immediate superior.”

Military Counselor.

It was still the Samsara Palace.

Li Tianlan paused for a moment and finally said, “I want to see Military Counselor.”

“Beep…”

While he just finished speaking, the car horn sounded at the entrance.

In his sight, the car had not stopped yet. In a twinkling, Military Counselor in black cloak appeared in front of him.

Seeing that Bamboo Grove and Volcano were calm, Military Counselor suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. And then, he saw Li Tianlan.

His body stiffened slightly. He paused for a while and finally gave a wry smile. “I heard that Wang Tianzong came here. So, I come over to see if you are alright.”

“Your message is timely.”

Li Tianlan squinted at Military Counselor. He meant it. With his position, Wang Tianzong could do as he wished in Zhongzhou State. Even if everyone wanted to pay attention to him, only a few people could keep track of him. Wang Tianzong left for less than 10 minutes, and Military Counselor came over. It showed that he possessed a lot of important information.

“What is Saber?”

Li Tianlan asked directly without waiting for Military Counselor to speak.

He thought Samsara Palace had nothing to do with him, but now he found that it was always by his side. Whatever the message meant, it cheered him up when he was in such a bad mood.

Military Counselor looked at Bamboo Grove and Volcano.

They looked helpless and bowed down to him.

Military Counselor took a tumble and helplessly smiled.

He sat opposite to Li Tianlan and ate a peanut. He paused for a while and pointed to Bamboo Grove and Volcano. “They are Saber.”

“Only two people?”

Li Tianlan stared at Military Counselor. Even if he were a fool, he could not believe it.

Military Counselor shook his head and waved his hand.

Bamboo Grove and Volcano walked out quietly and left the duty room to Military Counselor and Li Tianlan.

Seeing this, Li Tianlan frowned slightly. “Don’t you believe in your own subordinates?”

“This is the rule.”

Military Counselor whispered, “They don’t know much. Strictly speaking, Bamboo Grove and Volcano only belong to the sheath. They only know what they need to know.”

Where there was a sheath, there would be a blade.

Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes tightly. He suddenly discovered that the so-called Saber might be incredibly powerful.

“Saber is an organization?”

Li Tianlan asked.

“Yes, it is. I managed it on behalf of Palace Master over the years.”

Military Counselor nodded.

“Is its headquarters in Huating?”

Li Tianlan continued to ask. At this moment, he was extremely eager to uncover the cloak to see the man behind it.

“Headquarters?”

Military Counselor repeated and immediately shook his head. “No headquarters.”

Li Tianlan frowned.

“The Saber is not only integrated but also mutually independent.”

Military Counselor whispered, “Thick sheath, sharp blade, ethereal intent, illusive hilt, and brilliant radiance. Such an organization does not need headquarters for the time being.”

Bamboo Grove and Volcano belonged to the sheath.

Even if they were not at the peak of Thunder-shocking Realm, they were close to the realm.

What were the so-called blade, saber intent, hilt, and saber radiance?

Li Tianlan felt a little terrified.

“We don’t have a headquarters, but our foundation is indeed in Zhongzhou State.”

Military Counselor said with a smile, “Your Highness, Samsara Palace becomes famous in overseas. They say that we rise so fast, but our foundation is not firm. Even so, we still have a foundation. Do you know where our real foundation is?”

Li Tianlan did not speak. The answer was as expected, although the answer itself was unexpected.

…

“Our real foundation is in Zhongzhou State.”

Military Counselor whispered.
