"Hahaha, did the old man really say that? It would be great if he could really say that." Although Wang Min didn't say anything, a smile appeared on her face.

For a moment, both the host and the guests in the living room were having a great time, with laughter and chattering continuing. It was not until very late that Wang Min personally brought Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi to their respective rooms.

Early the next morning, when Zeng Wenyu woke up, Wang Ke still hadn't returned. Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi, who were also hosted by Wang Min, waited until noon before Wang Ke returned to the mansion from outside with a tired face.

All the affairs, big and small, in Xinkang City have basically been dealt with. Those stubborn families have either been thrown into jail or executed on the spot. From today on, the entire Xinkang City is controlled by the Xinguo and Kanguo parties. Early this morning, the two parties also joined forces to publicize the ugly things that Zhang Zun had done in Xinkang City before. In addition, the things that those big families did privately were exposed. For a time, Zhang Zun and his forces became a target of public condemnation in Xinkang City.

When Zeng Wenyu saw Wang Ke, his face showed fatigue, with two very deep dark circles under his eyes.

"Brother Zeng, did you sleep well last night? I was busy last night and didn't have time to come back to entertain you. I'm really sorry."

"What are you talking about, General Wang? It's enough for us to have my sister-in-law at home to take care of us. General Wang should still focus on his own affairs."

"Hahaha, it's okay. Xinkang City has calmed down and business has resumed. Although the streets are not very lively and the soldiers of my Xin Kingdom and Lao Fengkang Kingdom are still patrolling the streets, you can go out for a stroll if you want," Wang Ke suddenly yawned here. "I'll excuse myself first. After all, I'm old and my health is not as good as before. I'm going to take a nap first. Lao Feng and I have prepared a banquet in the evening. Please be sure to come then, brother Zeng!"

"Don't worry, General Wang. Since I have promised, I will definitely not break my promise."

Wang Ke and Zeng Wenyu clasped their fists, said see you in the evening to Zeng Wenyu, and then walked towards his room.

It was still early and there was still a long time before nightfall. Mu Zhi had already gone out shopping, but Zeng Wenyu did not go out shopping. He walked around the mansion for a while and found Butler Jian. He asked Butler Jian to help him invite Wang Min, as he had something to ask Wang Min.

Butler Jian walked towards the backyard, and not long after, Wang Min came out from the backyard. Unlike before, Wang Min's spirit was a little poor, but not as bad as Wang Ke.

"Brother Zeng, what do you want from me?"

"Sister-in-law, I have something I want to consult you about."

"What's the matter? I will tell you everything I know."

"I wonder where did you get this wooden stick in my sister-in-law's hand?"

"Oh? Is there anything special about the wooden staff in my hand? This wooden staff was made when I was fighting with the old man and my right leg was injured by the enemy. The exact place was... It was in the White Mist Forest in the north. I cut a branch in the White Mist Forest to make this wooden staff."

"To be honest, sister-in-law, the wooden staff in your hand has the aura of the innate wood. I guess the injury to your right leg must have been very serious before. It is because of the innate wood in this wooden staff that the injury to your right leg has gradually improved over the years."

"I see. That's what I was thinking. With that man's tactics, I would have lost my leg even if it was only injured. I didn't expect that the injury was suppressed and it has been getting better over the years." Wang Min looked at the stick in her hand for a few seconds, then turned her head back. "Brother Zeng, do you need this stick? If you do, I'll give it to you. Anyway, my right leg has almost healed over the years."

"Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand me. This innate wood is still nourishing your body. This means that without the treatment of this innate wood, your injury will quickly deteriorate. In this case, why would I want this wooden stick? I just want to know where the White Mist Forest you just mentioned is."

"Brother Zeng... Actually, I should have died a month after I got hurt. I am lucky to have lived for so many more years. Besides, the White Mist Forest..." Wang Min paused here, "Brother Zeng, have you been to the Cangling Mountains?"

"I just came out of the Cangling Mountains some time ago."

"It's OK as long as you've been there. I'll tell you, if you've been to the depths of the Cangling Mountains, you'll know that it's very dangerous. However, as long as you don't go to the deepest part, a Tribulation Realm cultivator can still travel freely in it. As for the White Mist Forest... the White Mist Forest is a place where even a Tribulation Realm cultivator will get lost if they go a little deeper. If you're lucky, you can get out within a few decades. If you're unlucky... you'll be lost in the White Mist Forest for the rest of your life."

Although Wang Min said so, Zeng Wenyu still looked at her. Wang Min finally sighed helplessly: "Alas... If you really decide to go, then I will tell you that the White Mist Forest is at the northernmost part of the New Country. You go out of Xinkang City and walk all the way to our Central Imperial City. Then go out of the north gate and keep walking north. When you see the border waters of the New Country, you will arrive. The White Mist Forest will appear on the sea at night, shrouded in thick white fog."

"Thank you sister-in-law for telling me this!"

"Brother Zeng, I know you must go, but I still advise you not to go. Even I was lucky enough to see the white fog retreat a little, so I took a branch from it and made it into a wooden stick. If you go deeper into it... I'm afraid you will really get lost in the white fog."

"It's okay, sister-in-law. I know you are worried about me, but I do have a reason to go."

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more. However... if you want to enter the White Mist Forest, you must first go to the Imperial Palace of the Central Imperial City. There is a treasure in the palace that points to the Central Imperial City at all times. As long as you can borrow that treasure, you can tell the direction after entering the White Mist Forest."

Zeng Wenyu knew that Wang Min was doing this for his own good, but he didn't know many people in the New Kingdom. Besides, he said he knew the new emperor, but how could the city defense troops guarding the central imperial city of the New Kingdom know him? He might be considered a fool if he said he knew the new emperor. But even so, Zeng Wenyu still thanked Wang Min: "I appreciate your concern, sister-in-law, but how can I borrow that treasure from the palace? I'd better think of a way myself."
