My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 868: Arriving with Orders

About an hour ago, Gongsun Fengying was sent back by Gongsun Zhi, telling her to prepare for guests arriving that evening.

But just as she got home, Gongsun Fengying saw her father, who she rarely met in the past ten days or so, had actually returned.

Moreover, there was a stranger accompanying her father.

Gongsun Fengying had always been very fearful of her father since childhood, while she was very close to her grandfather instead.

After casually greeting him, Gongsun Fengying went to pack her things.

She didn't expect that after her father had a brief conversation with the man, she was called over.

Her father told her that the man was one of Lord Military God's Thirteen Grand Protectors.

In the vast Hua Country, who doesn't know about the Thirteen Grand Protectors?

Gongsun Fengying never imagined the Twelfth Grand Protector would appear in her house. Shocked and slightly nervous, she hurriedly nodded and greeted him.

Huang Fuqi looked at Gongsun Fengying but didn't say much.

The middle-aged man, of course, was Gongsun Fengying's father, named Gongsun Zhengxing.

Seeing Gongsun Fengying looking apprehensive, Gongsun Zhengxing waved his hand, "Okay, go do whatever you need to do."

Glad to be excused, Gongsun Fengying quickly left.

After Gongsun Fengying left, Gongsun Zhengxing sighed helplessly, "Mr. Shier, I apologize. I've been too strict with my daughter since she was little, treating her like a tomboy. Coupled with my busy work schedule and her mother's early passing, this girl feels distant from me but is very close with her grandfather. Please don't laugh at me."

Huang Fuqi shook his head lightly, "Boss Gongsun, you're too kind. I used to think the rumors about Miss Gongsun being a genius were just that, but seeing her today, they're indeed true. I heard she's practicing both martial arts and specialized strength training. Is that true?"

Gongsun Zhengxing sighed, "Yes, she's practicing both martial arts and specialized strength. But it's strange; ever since the last big competition, she seems to have given up on martial arts and focused solely on specialized strength. As for her current level, I have no idea. By the way, Mr. Shier, is there something important you came for today?"

Huang Fuqi furrowed his brow, "Yes. This time I'm here on Lord Military God's orders for two reasons. Firstly, Boss Gongsun, you should be aware that the Eternal Life Hall has risen again and is even allying with Yin Ghost Sect, Medicine King Valley, and the Witch God Sect, as if they're ready for a resurgence."

"One of my brothers, Feng Shisan, encountered people from the Eternal Life Hall in Jinling a few days ago and promptly reported to Lord Military God. Lord Military God immediately dispatched someone to investigate, but found things weren't that simple."

Gongsun Zhengxing had heard about the Eternal Life Hall and hurriedly asked, "Is there more to it?"

Huang Fuqi nodded, "According to our investigation, the Eternal Life Hall is likely connected to the Hidden Sect from over twenty years ago."

"The Hidden Sect?" Gongsun Zhengxing's pupils contracted slightly, "You mean, that Netherworld Emperor?"

Huang Fuqi wasn't surprised Gongsun Zhengxing knew these things, as he too belonged to the military group and was a chief figure in Quanzhou.

"That's right. This time, it's not just the Hidden Sect; it's very likely also connected to the son of the Netherworld Emperor from back then. And there's evidence suggesting the Hall Master of the Eternal Life Hall is possibly the son of the Netherworld Emperor who disappeared over twenty years ago."

"The Seven Kings probably haven't discovered this yet. Once they do, the world might fall into chaos."

Hearing this, Gongsun Zhengxing's smile finally faded, becoming extremely serious.

The Netherworld Emperor was a legendary figure, also recorded as the person in the Hua Country Martial Arts who got closest to immortality.

Although immortality is elusive, as martial arts cultivation heightens, martial artists increasingly yearn for it.

It's said that back then, the Netherworld Emperor was just an ordinary person who suddenly rose at seventeen, defeating eleven grandmasters single-handedly and becoming a leader in the Hua Country Martial Arts World.

Later, the Netherworld Emperor seemed obsessed with cultivation, founded a Hidden Sect, and lived reclusively in the Kunlun Mountain Range, rarely venturing out.

In just two or three years, the Hidden Sect became the most revered and feared existence in the Martial Arts World.

Forget the Netherworld Emperor; any one of his followers was almost at the Grandmaster Realm.

Although the Netherworld Emperor lived in seclusion, he didn't completely detach from the secular world; he controlled some semi-secluded families to obtain wealth and resources from the outside world.

But who would have thought that such a once-dominant figure would die due to a rebellion?

Since then, the Seven Kings have stood together. Although they still reside in the Kunlun Mountain Range, their control over the secular world hasn't diminished.

Gongsun Zhengxing knew Huang Fuqi must be here with orders from Lord Military God, and he quickly stood up, "Mr. Shier, though my cultivation isn't high, if the world is in turmoil, I will do what little I can. Please give your instructions."

Huang Fuqi lifted his head and said solemnly, "Boss Gongsun, you're too kind. Now that the Eternal Life Hall shows signs, according to Lord Military God's orders, we must promptly nip it in the bud. Regardless of whether the Hall Master of the Eternal Life Hall is the son of the Netherworld Emperor, we need to control it. Only in this way can we hold back the Hidden Sect Seven Kings, forcing them to remain within Kunlun and not emerge. However, controlling the Hall Master of the Eternal Life Hall is no easy task. So, Lord Military God wants to form a temporary Dragon Hidden Team, specifically to capture the Hall Master of the Eternal Life Hall."

"Dragon Hidden Team?" Gongsun Zhengxing was puzzled, "Mr. Shier, isn't there already a Dragon Hidden Unit under Lord Military God? What does this Dragon Hidden Team mean?"

The Dragon Hidden Unit is the highest-ranked combat force in Hua Country, completely under Lord Military God's command, not subject to orders from anyone else.

This unit, not only with strong combat power but also with outstanding team coordination abilities, has made numerous contributions for Lord Military God.

Unlike the Thirteen Grand Protectors under Lord Military God, no one knows any member's individual name; they act only as a team under a code name.

Thus, the Dragon Hidden Unit is the elite of the elite, a sharpened sword to defeat foes upon being drawn.

Gongsun Zhengxing was a bit confused. If Lord Military God already had a Dragon Hidden Unit, why form a Dragon Hidden Team?

Huang Fuqi explained, "Boss Gongsun, you might not know. As strong as Dragon Hidden is, their numbers are ultimately limited. Now the world is full of unrest, not to mention Dragon Hidden having their own tasks. Using Dragon Hidden might alarm the enemy. So, Lord Military God wants to secretly form a Dragon Hidden Team, with fewer numbers, up to ten people, but each must be the elite of the elite, not only highly skilled in martial arts but also knowledgeable in witchcraft. Allowing them to infiltrate the Eternal Life Hall and achieve surprise victory."
