Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

……

"Finally out..."

Having escaped from Mount Song with great difficulty, Zeng Chenglin, Ye Hudie, and the others were all panting heavily, looking extremely disheveled, and covered in dust.

"Elder Chen and Yu Su have boarded the armed fighter jet and will be back at headquarters soon. They're safe..."

The night butterfly opened its mouth and looked up at the sky.

The collapse of Mount Song actually created an opportunity for Cheng Yusu and others to escape, and they were finally able to get rid of their enemies and leave.

"No, it's far from safe. The real conflict is about to begin..."

Zeng Chenglin sighed, "The Li family has lost the spirit of the Great Yu Cauldron this time. They will definitely not let this go. It might... trigger a major war!"

Today, the major financial groups in China are no different from warlords. Once they start fighting each other, hundreds of millions of lives will be threatened by the flames of war!

Zeng Chenglin looked at Li Lan with a complicated expression and said, "Did you already know that the mountain would collapse?"

Li Lan was so calm!

When Bai Ruijie chose her, Li Lan did not resist. Even when the battle broke out, Li Lan remained calm, as if she didn't care at all.

In addition, the deep impression Li Lan left on him when the three Zhou brothers were destroyed... made him wonder if all of this was related to Li Lan?

But once the idea came to him, even he himself felt it was too audacious.

That's the Daoist temple of Yu the Great. The Li family even mobilized a Core Formation stage cultivator. No matter how strong Li Lan is, can he be stronger than a Core Formation stage cultivator? Can he possibly affect Yu the Great's Daoist temple?

Li Lan smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask."

Zeng Chenglin spoke up, saying, "However, will you stand with the Restorationists?"

His attitude was very serious.

He had already foreseen that the situation within China would become unprecedentedly tense, and that the major forces would be in unprecedented conflict.

In this situation, someone like Li Lan... is truly crucial.

“The Resurrectionist saved my parents, so I owe them a favor.”

Li Lan spoke calmly.

Having experienced so much, Li Lan didn't care about the attitudes of people like Gu Lianxi, Bai Ruijie, or even Cheng Yusu.

The only people he cares about are his parents.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Chenglin felt both relieved and regretful!

Fortunately, since Li Lan said so, it meant he wouldn't stand idly by.

Unfortunately, Li Lan could have been much closer to the Restorationists...

He couldn't help but sigh. The prejudice that headquarters held against Li Lan... might become the biggest decision-making mistake of headquarters!

At that very moment, Li Lan and the others' satellite phones rang. When they picked them up, they saw that it was an emergency summons from headquarters.

"All branch leaders, immediately lead your elite forces to the capital, without delay—"

Clearly, after escaping from Mount Song, Chen Jinhua had already made contact with headquarters.

In preparation for a potential major war, the Restorationists began to gather their forces.

"Perfect timing, we can go to the capital together!"

Zeng Chenglin said.

Li Lan smiled and said, "Let's go!"

He couldn't help but feel a little expectant... he was finally going to see his parents.

The group got into a car, stepped on the gas, and sped away.

Do you think a civil war will break out in China?

On the way, Zeng Chenglin asked a question.

"will not."

Li Lan spoke calmly.

Zeng Chenglin asked in surprise, "The reason?"

"No reason, just a guess."

Li Lan smiled.

Of course, he wasn't just guessing!

In fact, the choice of Cheng Yusu as the host by the spirit of the Dayu Cauldron was a scheme he had planned!

Li Lan had considered what he should do in the face of the current situation in China.

To wipe out the Li family and others directly?

This is easy, but unwise.

If "they" despair of the Great Yu Cauldron, then "they" may take a desperate gamble and summon the divine realm, at which point there will be no way to resist.

Therefore, Li Lan cannot let "them" lose hope; he must drag it out to give himself time to do many things.

Cheng Yusu's appearance gave him a clear plan.

Make Cheng Yusu the host of the spirit of the Great Yu Cauldron!

It should be understood that she was Bai Ruijie's furnace, while Bai Ruijie was merely a pawn placed by "them".

To "them," the artifact spirit simply moved from Li's hands to Bai Ruijie's, a mere transfer from one hand to the other, all within their control.

They will definitely use Bai Ruijie to gradually influence and control the artifact spirit.

There is a difference between the two!

Previously, the Li family had carried out a large-scale human sacrifice, which was very aggressive and could be effective in a very short time.

But what about now that Bai Ruijie has taken over? Because Cheng Yusu is the furnace, "they" can't be too hasty and can only let Bai Ruijie nurture her slowly.

This means that Li Lan will have enough time!

Moreover, this has another advantage: no matter how angry or furious Li Shi is, she can't retaliate—because "they" won't allow Li Shi to affect Bai Ruijie's furnace cultivation plan.

Whether it's Cheng Yusu or the Daoist, they will both gain a period of peace as a result.

At least there is no danger of annihilation.

The so-called civil war in China will naturally not happen.

This is Li Lan's complete plan!

In reality, he also regarded Cheng Yusu as a pawn. This pawn seemed to be controlled by Bai Ruijie, but it was actually a nail that he embedded in "their" game!

Moreover, he wasn't afraid at all that the spirit of the artifact would actually be affected by Cheng Yusu.

Because he can continuously provide incense money to the spirit of the artifact, and with a pure source of faith, the spirit of the artifact can always maintain its true self and not become evil!

The spirit could even deceive Cheng Yusu and then carry out strategic fraud against "them," leading them to make strategic misjudgments!

—Since his return to Earth, only now has he truly made a move in this game of chess.

……

The car sped by day and night, and after three days and three nights, Li Lan and his group finally arrived in Kyoto!

Countless dynasties once established their capitals here, and Kyoto remains a premier luxury city with skyscrapers standing side by side and dazzling lights, but the streets are deserted!

All shops and supermarkets were closed, and a large number of vehicles left Kyoto.

"The headquarters of almost all major corporations are in Kyoto, and they are all mobilizing troops to the capital. They may even have launched nuclear weapons... Even ordinary people can smell the gunpowder..."

Zeng Chenglin sighed.

They quickly drove into a street and saw a checkpoint ahead. Zeng Chenglin stepped forward, verified his identity, and after passing through, quickly headed to the headquarters building of the Fudao Group.

The area around the headquarters building was already heavily guarded, with many tanks and armored vehicles parked in layers, and snipers stationed in the buildings on both sides.

"Elder Chen, how is the situation?"

Upon entering the headquarters building, Zeng Chenglin immediately sought out Chen Jinhua.

"Old Master Gu has already led a team to negotiate with the Li Group and other conglomerates."

Chen Jinhua looked worried and said, "I hope for a good outcome!"

Elder Chen,

At this moment, Li Lan finally spoke, saying, "I would like to see my parents, is that alright?"

When Chen Jinhua saw that Li Lan had also arrived, he paused for a moment, his expression slightly complicated, and said, "Okay."

Li Lan immediately followed Chen Jinhua and took the elevator to the top floor. Li Lan saw Cheng Yusu and Bai Ruijie in the waiting room outside the conference room, as well as a beautiful middle-aged woman who looked very much like Cheng Yusu and an old man wearing a Taoist robe!

Besides them, there was a couple dressed in ordinary and easygoing manner. They looked to be middle-aged, but the man had a slightly worried expression and graying hair at his temples, while the woman had some shallow wrinkles on her face and her eyes were full of worry.

Upon seeing them, Li Lan finally couldn't contain her excitement and exclaimed, "Dad, Mom!"

He walked over quickly.

Upon Li Lan's arrival, everyone in the waiting hall immediately turned their attention to him!
