After that, Cao Cao indeed did not give Xia Mingyu the chance to refuse. Four people changed their clothes in a second. Cao Pi walked over, looked at Xia Mingyu and said, “Raise your hands.”

“…” He raised his hand as Cao Pi asked.

“Idiot. The one holding the Night Peal.” Cao Pi looked at him disdainfully. Xia Mingyu was embarrassed. Come on, how did he know which hand to raise?

He raised his hand silently. The Night Pearl rolled in his pale palm, Cao Pi’s reached with his index finger, then the Pearl was pierced and tied by a red rope on Xia Mingyu’s wrist.

Although it’s a bit simple, it’s actually really pretty. And it didn’t look fancy for boys to wear it. Well, he just didn’t want to admit that he has lost the only thing that could have protected himself. Kylin pendant, why did you stop working?

Cao Xi was very satisfied that Xia Mingyu was so obedient, and then the next second Xia Mingyu passed out. He really wanted to say, can he be any less of  a trouble maker? Do I really need to make him pass out every single time to take him with me?

Xia Mingyu had no idea that Cao Cao had already been intergrated in the real world. He was the owner of a large enterprise in China. And he was being carried into the company by Xia Houyuan at the moment…

“Hello, Mister Cao.” The staff of the company greeted the group, and the four people took the elevator to the office at the top. There were no other people besides them on this floor. It was not an office, but more like a house.

Xia Houyuan put Xia Mingyu on the big sofa and then said to Cao Cao, “Master, while finding the Night Pearl, the elder brother and I received a message about this guy.”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, “Oh, what news?”

“A search notice.” Xia Houyuan took out a small poster from nowhere. They looked closer. On the poster, it wrote in black and white, “Missing Person”. Xia Mingyu was the person they were looking for. Cao Cao sat on the swivel chair with his fingers tapping on the arm of the chair, and looked at the notice seriously.

“The He family, the Sun family, the Wang family, and the Murong family. The four families are all looking for him. Could they know about the child of Tianhun?”

Xia Houdunn thought for a moment and speculated, “They probably don’t know. Otherwise they would not have put so much efforts looking for one person publicly, they could have done it secretly.”

Cao Cao turned to Cao Pi and looked for his opinions. Cao Pi didn’t hold it back. He took a big step forward and said, “Father, since he knows Zhao Zilong, we might as well ask a favor of Zhao Zilong. We can just say we saved this person, and we will send him over. What do you think?”

The sound of the Cao Cao’s finger tapping on the chair has suddenly stopped. After a few second, Cao Cao sneered, “Send him over? How did I get the Sky Spirit and the Blood Jade? How do I achieve my great cause?”

His tone was so cold that it showed a strong sense of pressure which made Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan sweated. Cao Pi continued though under the pressure of Cao Cao, “Father, I didn’t mean that. We can say that Xia Mingyu is here with us. Then Zhao Zilong will definitely do something about it, but that will only leave a bad impression on him. Father, aren’t you trying to make him join us? This is a good opportunity.”

“But this good opportunity is also risky.” Cao Cao continued. Cao Pi paused, looked up at him and said, “Father might have forgot that he had already ate the ‘Three-Day-Light’. If he don’t take the antidote that I have, he can’t run away from us. So he won’t just leave us on his own.”

Cao Pi was betting on Xia Mingyu’s desire for survival. He did not believe that people are not afraid of death. So as long as he was afraid of death, he would definitely stay and would not dare to run away.

Cao Cao seemed to agree that the plan might work, so he nodded and said, “Sounds good. Zihuan, I’ll leave this to you.”

“Yes, Father.” Cao Pi turned to Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan and said, “Go spread the news. Say that Xia Mingyu is with the Cao Group.”

“Yes.” The two of them left. Only Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Xia Mingyu were left in the large room, Cao Cao moved his swivel chair to work by the computer. Xia Mingyu was still sleeping. He had changed back into the modern clothes. He was laying on the white European-style sofa and looked like a sleeping angel.

Shortly after, the Xia Hou brothers sent back the message that someone is at the entrance of the company and wanted to see Mr. Cao. Cao Cao turned on the CCTV camera and immediately recognized that the man who has long hair was Zhao Yun.

“Let them in.” The Xia Hou brothers stopped them downstairs after receiving Cao Cao’s command and took them straight up to the top floor by the elevator.

“Welcome to Cao’s Group.” The man on the swivel chair had his arms opened and smiled, as if he was really welcoming them. Zhao Yun and the others all had different expressions on their faces.

The first one talked to Cao Cao was Sun Yaxin and Mu Feng. The three foxes soon got acquainted and exchanged pleasantries. He Nai wanted to get closer to Xia Mingyu, but she was stopped by Xia Houyuan. She was so pissed and gnashed her teeth.

“Move! Why can’t you let me get closer to Yu?” He Nai said coldly, but her vigor didn’t change anything of the two guys cold-looking faces that was blocking between her and Xia Mingyu. Zhao Yun was even more worried about Xia Mingyu than her. He walked over and said, “Excuse me”, then started the fight.

None of the three people knew how to use mana, and still fought like a thousand years ago. They were fighting with their bare hands and locked in the fight. Because their zombie body condition, they would not feel tired. If Cao Cao didn’t ask the Xia Hou brothers to stop, it would probably be a long fight.

Zhao Yun crossed the Xia Hou brothers, rushed to the sofa, grabbed Xia Mingyu’s small hand and found that it’s still warm. He felt so relieved. Xia Houyuan got Cao Cao’s message, walked over and waved his hand in front of Xia Mingyu’s eyes. Xia Mingyu slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

Xia Mingyu didn’t know what had happened and saw Zhao Yun at his first glance. There is confusion in his amber cat-like pupils. He whispered, “Am I dreaming? Why am I seeing Yun? Hey, Cao Zihuan, don’t mess with me.”

Standing on the other side, Cao Pi’s face showed awkwardness. There was a light frown on the Zhao Yun’s face.

“Idiot, this time it’s real.” Cao Pi rolled his eyes at Xia Mingyu. He really couldn’t understand why such an idiot would be the son of the Tianhun.

After hearing Cao Yan’s words, Xia Mingyu rubbed his eyes with doubt. He reached out to touch Zhao Yun’s face, nose, mouth, and then to his shoulder and arm. He Nai was behind hime, she couldn’t help but said, “Yu, stop coming on to him. He is indeed Brother Zhao.”

He swore that he had absolutely no intention of taking advantage of him.

It was awkward. He didn’t know what to say. The next second he was in Zhao Yun’s cold arms. Zhao Yun gently stroked his hair and whispered in his ear, “It’s okay, it’s okay now. I’m here.”

The words “I’m here” completely opened the gate of his feelings of grievance and sadness over the past few days. Xia Mingyu couldn’t stop crying rivers. He choked with sobs and asked, “Why didn’t you come to find me? I was taken away at the White Horse Temple that day. I was so scared, but you didn’t even look back…”

Nobody thought that the boy would cry out loud like this. Cao Cao and the others thought that Xia Mingyu would have told all the horrible things that happened to him to Zhao Yun, whereas Mu Feng and the rest thought Xia Mingyu would just be quiet. Everyone seemed to have forgot that he was just a kid.

“I’m sorry…” Zhao Yun sighed. He thought he was being so useless and tried petting Xia Mingyu’s back to comfort him.  Xia Mingyu actually didn’t mean to blame him, he just felt so bad and wanted to let it out. When his came back to presence and understood the current situation, he lowered his voice and whispered in Zhao Yun’s ear, “You must leave now.”

His intention was to ask Zhao Yun, Mu Feng and He Nai to leave here quickly, because he knew he couldn’t leave himself. He didn’t forget the poison Cao Yan had fed him. He didn’t believe it at first, and then he suffered so much from the pain. Only after taking the antidote that Cao Yan gave him, he was back to normal. How could he take any more risk? He didn’t know how Zhao Yun got here, but he was no different from a dead person now. So why do they take any risk on him?
