Where’d My Delicate Little Wife Go?

The High Priest is going to get married, and it just so happens it’s the same day as the annual celebration in the Holy Temple!

The insurrection and coup in which the High Priest was ‘killed’ happened just after the celebration last year. Now this year’s celebration is approaching, which means that Duan Changqing will have been in this world for one year.

It’a celebration, and also the wedding of the High Priest. During this time, Holy City was indescribably lively.

On the day of the wedding, a motorcade slowly approached Holy City.

Chen Qiyun, who was over sixty years old, with gray hair and coarse clothes, sat lazily in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed to rest. In the front, the driver and his subordinates were lightly chatting.

“Holy City doesn’t seem to be the same…”

“That’s not surprising, it can’t be the same.”

“True, there’s peace now, so shouldn’t people be more lively?”

“Is Xie Yunnan really in charge of Holy City?”

“I’ve always felt that the High Priest is very crude, but he looks good…”

Chen Qiyun finally responded to the chatter, opening his eyes and said a little tiredly: “Holy City changed hands? Is Xie Yunnan willing to let go after gaining power? Shouldn’t the High Priest pay more attention?”

“Maybe they’re like you, City Lord!” said the co-pilot.

Chen Qiyun is the owner of Canglan City, a ninth-level warrior.

He was born in an aristocratic family in Canglan City, and is very talented and strong. In his early years, he was not like the young masters of other big families in Canglan City. At most, he was more lively.

He likes to run around, so when he was eight years old, he left Canglan City and traveled everywhere.

Years later, he returned to Canglan City. After his travels, he was much stronger, and his personality also changed, which made him incompatible with the elite.

He stayed in Canglan City for a few years, had a big quarrel with his parents, left Canglan City, and didn’t return until he was forty years old.

By then, he was already an eighth-level warrior, one of the top experts in Canglan City. After returning this time, he did not leave. Instead, he encouraged the people of Canglan City to rebel against the powerful elite.

Yes, his parents and family were included.

The situation in Canglan City was very bad at the time. Most people in the city were forced to mine the ore veins nearby. However, there were not enough safety measures. Therefore, every year, hundreds of people are buried underground because of mine collapses.

In addition, many people had lung diseases from mining, and died young because of it.

After Chen Qiyun resisted… Now the people of Canglan City can mine safely without worrying about running out of food, and medical care is completely free.

Of course, there are still many problems in Canglan City. The biggest problem is that Chen Qiyun is not in good health, and he can no longer hold others back.

Some of the people who followed him back then have gradually grown in strength.

These new masters are all seeking profit for themselves.

If he’s still there, he could still hold down these things. But if he leaves, Canglan City might change back to its original appearance when he returns.

He didn’t want to see this, so he has Holy City every year, hoping that the priests can cure him. But basically they have no success – they can only help relieve his injuries. His injuries only have a chance of being cured if he stays in Holy City.

As for the High Priest… The High Priest never does anything except in celebrations.

Recently, such a big accident happened in Holy City. He also received the news, but because of the distance, the specific situation was unclear.

Instinctively, changes in Holy City are a happy thing.

But Chen Qiyun worried that dragon slayers will end up being evil dragons.

Thinking so, Chen Qiyun sighed for a while: “I hope so.”

“City Lord, Holy City has improved! Look outside!”

Chen Qiyun was intrigued and looked out. This time, he saw a group of children doing some strange things on a newly built concrete play area by the road.

Chen Qiyun suddenly said, “Stop.”

The driver was a little puzzled, but stopped the car.  “City Lord?”

Chen Qiyun said, “I’ll go down and have a look.”

He walked over to a local farmer nearby, and asked, “What are those children doing?”

The local stopped to look at Chen Qiyun: “Are you from somewhere else?”

“Yes, I came from outside to participate in the celebration.”

The farmer smiled proudly. “I knew you must be from somewhere else. You obviously don’t know the situation here! Those children are practicing exercises and can be warriors!”

“Become warriors?”

“Of course yes, after my relatives practiced this technique, they became warriors! I practice every day now, and sooner or later I will be a warrior!”

Chen Qiyun said: “This… I remember that this wasn’t the case before…”

After Chen Qiyun got out of the car, he could see the surrounding situation clearly.

There is a house next to the play area with the name of a school written on it. It’s a school?!

In addition, there are many reinforced concrete buildings along the spacious road, some of which are just half-built.

Last year, this was not the case here. They’re only on the fringes outside Holy City. At that time, it was all slums built with various waste materials!

“Of course it wasn’t like this before! But this year is different! A few months ago, the High Priest and City Lord Xie beat all the bad guys of the Second Elder to the ground.” This farmer was particularly happy. “I used to rent land, but now I have my own land! This land belonged to the High Priest, who donated all his land!”

Chen Qiyun was a little surprised. This didn’t feel like something he would do.

The farmer continued talking: “Now Holy City is completely different! Those who bullied us have been arrested…”

He shared a lot of what was shared through the news. Even though it wasn’t exhaustive, it’s easy to see how satisfied he is with life right now.

Chen Qiyun’s mouth twitched slightly as he listened, and tiredness on his face lightened a little.

At this moment, a burst of exclamation suddenly came, followed by cheers.

“He awakened!”

“Awakened?”

“He seems to have awakened a priest!”

“We’re going to have another priest!”

…

Chen Qiyun looked in the direction of the voice, only to realize that one of the young men on the playground suddenly awakened as a priest.

Chen Qiyun’s heart skipped a beat.

If the people of his Canglan City can also learn such exercises, he won’t have to worry about those powerful men clamoring to take over Canglan City anymore!

This trip is not made in vain. Even if he can’t cure himself, at least he can bring a spark back to Canglan City!

Chen Qiyun likes the changes in Holy City very much, but other cities… don’t like the current  Holy City much.

These have already arrived in Holy City and are secretly discussing.

“Is there something wrong with the High Priest’s brain? He even donated all his property!”

“Elder Bai even agreed!”

“The Lu family has a problem. Even if Xie Yunnan is the son of the Lu family head, how can they be so supportive? Donating all the family property, and splitting the family!”

“They’re all lunatics!”

…

“This is not the time to talk about this… What are we going to do?”

“Yeah, what are we going to do? With Holy City and Hongye City like this, will they force our city to be like this?”

”What should we do?”

“The property that you have worked so hard to save for several lifetimes… are you willing to give it away? I’d be reluctant.”

“Losing my property is secondary. We can’t just idly sit by.”

…

Nearby cities quickly learned of the situation in Holy City.

Those big families who have committed crimes in Holy City will not end well. Very few of them have clean hands.

As the manager of a city, trying to snatch the wealth of the entire city… This is normal!

It can’t be entirely their fault. If they don’t have money, finding a priest to treat them or their family is simply a dream!

And… they’re so powerful, what’s wrong with taking more money?

“Then do we want to do it?”

“It’s too late if we don’t do it!”

“As long as the High Priest is gone… Xie Yunnan is nothing to fear.”

All of them expressed their opinions and wanted to get the High Priest, but at this moment, suddenly there was a voice: “Um… can we beat the High Priest?”

The group fell silent.

 

Lol, I just see cannon fodders lining up to be cannoned down.
