Reborn as a tiger cub, I'm too weak, so I can only rely on self-discipline.

Chapter 681 The Cautious Old Age

"Why?"

Tiger Girl was puzzled by Cangnian's sudden change of expression.

"My elder brother's Qi Sea is still sealed by the Imperial Seal, and his strength is not as great as before."

If we go out now and someone finds our tracks, it could be dangerous.

"It's fine for me to take risks myself, but it's unacceptable for you to follow me!"

Seeing Tiger Sister's questioning, Cangnian's expression softened considerably, and he patiently explained.

"But brother, Brother Diao has the ability to become ethereal and has spatial three-dimensional defense. Apart from space-type powerhouses, even if they want to cause trouble for us, they can't get close, right?"

"Only that Qu Yinmei has spatial abilities. She's been beaten up by you, Big Brother, so she definitely won't dare come!"

Tiger Girl was somewhat unwilling and kept finding reasons for Cangnian to take her to create a giant spirit stone.

"That's hard to say. Logically speaking, she should have stopped after almost dying at the hands of her eldest brother the first time."

She still dared to provoke me and even killed Er Mihu.

My dear little sister, the sealing power within your brother's body can only last for another five days.

Once my brother recovers, we won't have to be afraid of any of them!

"When the time comes, your older brother will take you to cultivate a giant spirit stone, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Nian shook his head and then coaxed him.

Once he can use his spiritual power, he has nothing to fear.

Even though Ye Dingjiang had clearly gained absolute initiative in the battle of the Forbidden City, he did not kill him.

That shows that the old man is consistent in his words and deeds and cherishes potential geniuses.

The only one who could keep himself in check was Ye Dingjiang, who possessed the Imperial Seal of the State.

As long as I don't make any fundamental mistakes, I won't let him have any intention of killing me.

In this way, no one can do anything to him except Ye Dingjiang!

Even without Yi Chen's legal blessing, if he used his second-level overlimit burst, along with numerical manipulation and numerical plundering skills, Song Zhiyuan would still be no match for him.

Only then can I feel at ease going out.

With his recovery imminent, Ye Dingjiang was probably keeping a close eye on him.

Cang Nian doesn't plan to cause any trouble during this period.

First, make Ye Dingjiang believe that he has calmed down, given up, and yielded.

They quietly develop and grow stronger in secret.

"Oh! I understand!"

Upon hearing Cangnian's explanation, Tiger Girl's ears drooped, and she lost interest.

However, since Cangnian had already said so, it had no choice but to obediently comply.

Besides, it's only five days, it'll be over soon!

……

275 days after birth.

"Chief, Cangnian has led a team to carry out a pioneering mission."

Inside the Forbidden City, Song Zhiyuan gazed at the ark outside the great formation, which looked even more magnificent than the Forbidden City itself, and said in a deep voice.

"He is a cautious one."

Ye Dingjiang didn't turn around; he looked back and forth at the map on the wall.

"He's probably still resentful. You should seal his Qi Sea for a longer period of time."

Song Zhiyuan came up behind Ye Dingjiang and said softly.

In fact, what he wanted to say was that after Ye Dingjiang suppressed Cangnian, he should have eliminated him as soon as possible.

Although he felt that Ye Dingjiang might have made the wrong choice after being injured in a previous encounter with Cang Nian, once a choice is made, one should stick to it to the end without hesitation.

Ye Dingjiang's actions last time felt unfamiliar to him.

However, what surprised him the most was that Ye Dingjiang was also an evolved being, and the terrifying power of the Imperial Seal was also beyond his expectations.

Even his bodyguard didn't know, which shows how well Ye Dingjiang had kept it a secret.

"I just want him to calm down, not to cripple him. A month is enough."

If we really cripple him, are we old men like us supposed to take the place of our future enemies?

Unfortunately, Qu Yinmei's special ability is inherently incompatible with that of evolved creatures.

Otherwise, if these two could join forces amicably, they would have a better chance of winning in the future.

Ye Dingjiang turned around, looked at the ark hovering in the distance, and sighed.

"My disciple is extremely talented, but his temperament is terrible."

I heard she wasn't like this before, I don't know when she changed..."

Speaking of Qu Yinmei, Song Zhiyuan also had a headache.

“Young people who suddenly rise to prominence and stand above millions of others rarely don’t undergo a drastic change in temperament. I’ve seen far too many of these in my life.”

But this old man, though an evolved being, is loyal and righteous, never taking his anger out on others; he has a good heart...

If Qu Yinmei had even half his temperament, things wouldn't have come to this.

Speaking of Qu Yinmei, how has she been lately?

Ye Dingjiang remained calm, patted Song Zhiyuan on the shoulder, and then asked.

"She sits in the insect hive all day without saying a word, and it's impossible to tell what she's thinking."

Hopefully, she's truly scared this time and won't provoke Cang Nian's bad luck again.

But don't worry, Chief. There are at least three Zerglings guarding the hive, including her.

Everyone's watching; this time, she won't have a chance to find a loophole.

When Ye Dingjiang asked about serious matters, Song Zhiyuan quickly replied.

When Qu Yinmei first provoked Cang Nian, Song Zhiyuan could tell that Cang Nian wanted to kill her, but since she didn't actually die, he figured that as long as Qu Yinmei didn't offend Cang Nian again, he would definitely forgive her.

As a result, even while being watched by him, Qu Yinmei still managed to find opportunities to retaliate against Cang Nian, leaving no room for maneuver between the two.

Now, all they can do is rely on Ye Dingjiang's Imperial Seal to keep Cang Nian from acting impulsively.

Now that things have come to this, all we can do is wait for time to wear down the animosity between us, and for external pressure to arrive. Even if we don't expect them to forgive and forget, at the very least, under the pressure of survival, they will realize that losing each other would mean bearing even greater pressure.

"I hope so..."

Ye Dingjiang sighed, then turned back to look at the map on the wall.

On the map, the pioneering route heading southeast from the capital city, according to the map scale before the spiritual energy revival, is not far from the Demon City.

……

“Ooo ...

Tiger Girl howled excitedly.

Meanwhile, Cangnian and his group had already traveled through the spatial passage to the front line of the land reclamation along the southeastern route from the capital.

Compared to a month ago, the progress of land reclamation in the capital is already quite different.

Originally, the land reclamation progress in the six directions around the capital was roughly 10,000 kilometers or so.

However, according to Kong Xuanling's deduction, the major crisis in the southeast of the capital had disappeared, so the reclamation in the southeast, except for the due east near the Bohai Sea, was restarted.

Compared to the other six directions, the southeast is a fertile, undeveloped area, making it a top choice for exploration missions over the past month.

Furthermore, with the increasing number of fifth-tier evolved beings in the capital, the pioneering missions in the southeast are now more than 20,000 kilometers away from the capital.

This direction was familiar to Cangnian and his group; it happened to be the direction of Luzhou Quancheng.

Although there was no Little Purple Sable, the capital city has cultivated quite a few fifth-order space-type powerhouses, and a 20,000-kilometer route has been completed after such a long time.
