Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404 Leave Without Saying Goodbye

The Warden of Peakstead, Qu Jing was well aware of the danger posed by the foreign race.

However, with the foreign race eliminated and those tainted by them left without control, they were now indistinguishable from ordinary people and no longer considered a threat.

Qu Jing believed that Ye Liuyun’s opposition to the Xie family was primarily fueled by personal vendetta.

The fact that the empire issued a warrant for him due to his personal grudges and the mass killings that followed was considered normal. Qu Jing had no intention of intervening on Ye Liuyun’s behalf to lift the warrant.

Especially when Ye Liuyun was evading Xie Tianqi.

Ye Liuyun couldn’t explain the ongoing threat posed by those tainted by the foreign race. The foreign race could send people again, and these individuals might play a crucial role at that time.

He could only say "Since this matter has fallen into my hands, I must eradicate it completely and leave no potential harm behind!"

Qu Jing chuckled and remarked, "You’re intervening in matters that the empire doesn’t bother with, and you’ll be wanted by the empire! Your actions don’t seem wise!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord! However, I have my principles. I won’t give up on what I want to do!"

Ye Liuyun understood that this world had nothing to do with him. If it weren’t for his fondness for the simple people of the tribe, he wouldn’t have concerned himself with the affairs of the foreign race.

However, if he cultivate at ease, his speed of improvement would become slower without an opponent.

Therefore, it was beneficial for him to find a powerful opponent. Otherwise, he could have stayed in Crystalberg to cultivate. freewёbnoνel.com

With this realization, he cared even less about the warrant.

Seeing Ye Liuyun’s determination, Qu Jing could only say, "In my opinion, your threat to the empire is even greater than those people!"

Ye Liuyun remained silent.

He needed battles for improvement, not indiscriminate killing or picking unnecessary fights!

If killing the remnants of the foreign race was considered a crime, then he had nothing to say.

"Father! Mr. Ye is killing the remnants of the foreign race. Isn’t that right?" Qu Wanying interjected to explain for Ye Liuyun.

"That’s the empire’s affair; he shouldn’t be taking action. He is correct. But to directly take action without the empire’s knowledge and continue even when those people are no longer a threat. That is an act of killing civilians!"

"And knowing they pose no threat anymore, his continuation is a manifestation of bloodlust! It’s normal for the empire to want him," explained Qu Jing to Qu Wanying.

"Father! Mr. Ye saved my life; you can’t arrest him!" Qu Wanying, seeing her father also believed Ye Liuyun should be wanted, was afraid he might take action to arrest Ye Liuyun. She pleaded with her father.

"Haha!" Qu Jing laughed and then assured Ye Liuyun and Qu Wanying, "Rest assured, as long as Mr. Ye is in my residence, he is your savior, and I won’t arrest him or disclose his whereabouts to others."

However, Qu Wanying continued to inquire, "But what if he leaves here?"

Pretending not to hear, Qu Jing lowered his head to sip his wine.

Ye Liuyun thanked Qu Jing, "Thank you!"

He felt that what Qu Jing had done was enough. At least there was no animosity in return for his favor.

Qu Jing smiled and said, "You are welcome! You saved my daughter; it’s me who should be thanking you! You can stay in my mansion as long as you want, without any burden!"

Qu Jing’s meaning was clear. While there was gratitude for the favor, once Ye Liuyun left the mansion, he would still be a wanted criminal. freeweɓnovel.cøm

After the dinner, Qu Wanying sent Ye Liuyun back to his residence.

"Don’t worry. I’ll talk to my father again when I go back!" Qu Wanying comforted Ye Liuyun.

"There’s no need for that! You’ve given me the reward I deserve. I should leave now to avoid causing you any trouble. I plan to leave tonight!" Ye Liuyun bid farewell to Qu Wanying.

"You’re being wanted everywhere. It’s dangerous to go out now! Why not stay in my house for a while longer? Since my father has promised, he won’t go back on his word!" Qu Wanying kindly suggested.

"I have my own business to attend to. I can’t stay here for an extended period! Take care, Princess!" Ye Liuyun stopped the conversation, not giving her another chance to persuade him.

"Alright! If you insist on leaving, I won’t stop you! But could you leave tomorrow morning instead? I’ll accompany you out of the city!" Qu Wanying suggested.

"Alright!" Ye Liuyun pretended to agree.

After Qu Wanying left, Ye Liuyun immediately put on his Concealcape and left.

Ye Liuyun didn’t distrust Qu Jing. It’s just that Qu Jing had made his stance clear, and there was no point in staying longer.

Moreover, there was no secret in this world. As a wanted criminal, staying in the mansion would not only endanger himself but also cause trouble for them.

After Qu Wanying left Ye Liuyun, she went to her father to argue about this matter.

"Ye Liuyun is not wrong. The mistake lies with Xie Tianqi, who is someone even we can’t afford to provoke! It’s that simple!" Qu Jing told her.

"Is he that powerful?" Qu Wanying asked angrily.

"If he doesn’t have someone supporting him from behind, he wouldn’t be!" Qu Jing said mysteriously.

"So we can’t help Ye Liuyun with his wanted order?" Qu Wanying only cared about Ye Liuyun.

Qu Jing sighed helplessly, "If Xie Tianqi already targets you, it means we are already in deep trouble!"

Qu Wanying, hearing this, also realized that they were now in trouble themselves.

"In that case, I’ll go and explain to Ye Liuyun!" Qu Wanying said.

"There is no need for that." Qu Jing said, "You’re underestimating him! He’s quite clever and doesn’t need your explanation at all! I think Ye Liuyun is not simple. He’s an elite cultivated by a major power."

"So, shall we befriend him?" Qu Wanying became interested.

Qu Jing shook his head, "Not the right time! We’re already in trouble ourselves. If we gather together, we’ll only burden each other. Let him be. We can consider it in the future!"

"Oh!" Qu Wanying responded dejectedly and left her father.

She sighed before instructing people to prepare breakfast for the next morning, intending to see Ye Liuyun off. Afterward, she went back to rest.

When she went to find Ye Liuyun the next morning, she discovered that he had already disappeared.

She inquired with the guards about when Ye Liuyun had left, but no one had noticed. She had to inform her father.

Inside the city, after the sky brightened, a martial practitioner with a mask walked into the city’s largest trading venue.

Customers bought valuable items and wanted to avoid being discovered or tracked, people wearing masks were not considered strange. On the contrary, they were treated as important customers here.
