Chapter 919: Chapter 919: Xue Lang’s Revenge

Finally, the day had arrived. Gu Fan was fully prepared, while Gu Ling, Su Hui, Lu Yi, and Jie all came to show their support, indicating that they would guard the space-time door while Gu Fan traveled back in time to the ancient period.

Gu Ling was somewhat worried, "Bro, can you manage alone? Why don’t I accompany you? I’m certain I can be of use."

Gu Fan shook his head, "Forget it. I don’t want to end up losing you in the ancient times before we even find Lin Xi."

Gu Ling, puffed up with indignation, retorted, "What do you mean ’lose me in the ancient times’? Why isn’t it me losing you instead?"

"You’re already thinking about losing me; that’s even more reason not to let you come with me." Gu Fan shook his head, clearly not going to agree to let Gu Ling come along. Suddenly, Gu Fan noticed that Gu Ling’s backpack seemed to be filled with a lot of stuff, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

"Wait a second, Xiaoling, let me take a look at your backpack." As he spoke, Gu Fan moved to check Gu Ling’s backpack.

Gu Ling hurriedly protested, "No, that’s personal privacy. You can’t just rummage through a girl’s bag like that."

Although Gu Ling made sense, Gu Fan couldn’t care less. After insisting on checking, he finally found women’s ancient clothes in Gu Ling’s backpack.

Everyone looked at Gu Ling with astonished eyes, and Gu Ling pretended to be shocked as well, "What’s going on? How did these ancient clothes get into my bag? Could it be that Sister Su secretly put them there?"

Don’t frame others, Su Hui almost rolled her eyes; of course, she would not admit to such a thing.

"Alright, I’m confiscating this outfit. You just stay put in this era." After saying this, Gu Fan confiscated Gu Ling’s ancient clothes, but Gu Ling pleaded grievously, "Bro, listen to me, I really don’t know where these ancient clothes came from."

To this, Gu Fan did not want to listen to any more explanations. He needed to focus all his energy on this time-travel mission, and Qian Ye would certainly come to stop him. What was worst, Qian Feng would definitely assist Qian Ye, so guarding the space-time door had become quite difficult.

Su Hui was also concerned, "Do you think Helen is reliable? Even though you’re relatives, you haven’t lived together and don’t have much of a bond."

Gu Fan sighed, "Now, I can only hope to rely on Helen. I trust my second granduncle; he has made sacrifices for the Gu family. He definitely won’t ignore me."

Gu Ling too was surprised by the sudden appearance of a relative, "No wonder I didn’t feel threatened by Helen at the beginning. So, she’s a relative."

Gu Fan nodded, "But still, we need to be cautious. After all, there are others in Organization X, and they may not be friendly towards us."

"Enough of that, let’s set out. I think Lin Xi must be tired of staying in the ancient times by now. Let’s go bring her back." Su Hui’s words also voiced everyone’s feelings.

"Right, let’s head out now." Gu Fan took the lead, and the group headed together towards the factory, unaware that a bird had been hiding in the nearby treetops, watching Gu Fan’s every move the whole time.

At that time, Helen had already gathered her forces, which included not only skilled ordinary people like Qiao Ya and Dong Ni, but also members of the Xue Clan such as Xue Lang and Xue Li.

During this period, Xue Lang had attacked several people and successfully transformed them into vampires, fortifying his subordinates. However, he had been exceedingly cautious, lest Zhuo Hang, the big boss, and the hunters caught wind of his actions.

After assembling these individuals, Helen explained the intention was to help Gu Fan travel through the space-time door, and she also informed them about Lin Xi and Qian Ye swapping identities.

Xue Lang was utterly disinterested in this matter, "Helen, although your grandfather holds a significant position within Organization X, we are not a charity. How can we help Gu Fan unconditionally? We cannot engage in such a losing deal, so I refuse."

Hearing this, Helen’s brows furrowed, and she knew that Xue Lang was a thorn in her side. She cleared her throat and added, "I understand this mission may be puzzling to you all, but it is my grandfather’s order, and up to this point, his orders are still valid. Hence, as per the organization’s rules, we must carry them out."

Xue Lang remained unimpressed, "Sorry, Helen, although we Xue Clan are part of Organization X, we also obey Xue Wang. We can refuse any unreasonable orders." With that, Xue Lang turned to leave, waving his hand, "Well, I won’t say more. We have decided not to join this operation. If you want to help Gu Fan, go ahead."

"Xue Lang, you..." Watching Xue Lang walk away, Helen felt utterly powerless, truly at a loss on how to command these vampires.

Qiao Ya was a bit worried, "Helen, without the help of the Xue Clan, can just the rest of us be of any help to Gu Fan?"

Helen also looked greatly concerned, "Yes, it’s going to be difficult enough just to keep the space-time door secure for Gu Fan, let alone capturing Qian Ye and sending her back to ancient times..."

As Xue Lang was about to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Turning around coldly, he asked in a deep voice, "Wait a moment, Helen, did you just say you’re going up against Qian Ye?"

"Yes, what about it?" Helen was somewhat puzzled, suddenly remembering how Xue Lang had spoken of the origin of the scar he bore, which was why Xue Lang deeply detested Qian Ye.

With a stern face, Xue Lang then said, "Alright, this time we’ll lend Gu Fan a hand. If it’s about dealing with Qian Ye, I definitely want in."

"Goodness, such a grudge." Dong Ni was surprised, then noticed Xue Lang’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Unexpectedly, the tables had turned. Helen was overjoyed but still cautioned, "Everyone needs to be careful. I believe you’ve seen Qian Feng’s power. This time, if Qian Ye destroys the real space-time door, then Qian Feng will surely come. We need to be ready for a tough fight."

Xue Lang stated firmly, "It doesn’t matter whether it’s a tough fight or not. As long as I can kill Qian Ye, I have no issues whatsoever."

Helen’s brow furrowed again, "Xue Lang, I need to emphasize that nothing must happen to Qian Ye. We still need to send her back to ancient times to avoid altering history."

"Fine, no problem. As long as I can spoil her plans, I’m willing to do anything." After speaking, Xue Lang couldn’t help but touch the wound on his chest, remembering the pain he had endured every single day for the past century. Suddenly, the flames of revenge blazed furiously.

"Qian Ye, oh Qian Ye, since you wish to remain in this era, then I’ll just send you back to ancient times. Don’t blame me—it’s all brought on by yourself." Xue Lang had always believed that Qian Ye’s arrival in the present was providence granting him a chance for revenge—it had to be.

At that moment, Qian Ye couldn’t help but sneeze and rubbed her nose, feeling a sense of foreboding. Then she sneezed again.
