Men Chao’s master had the surname Yun, and due to his excellent martial arts skills, everyone respectfully addressed him as Master Yun. It was said that Master Yun came from a family of martial arts lineage, but later on, his family faced a decline. Old Xu took him in, allowing him to teach at the Xu Family home.
"Master," Men Chao sat cross-legged, facing Master Yun and playing chess, "having traveled abroad for many years, have you ever heard of the notion of ’possessing a body to resurrect a soul’?"
In his view, what Lan Shuixian talked about was the same as possessing a body to resurrect a soul.
"Such things are quite common," Master Yun didn’t find it strange at all, "However, not everyone can survive in another person’s body. It also depends on fate."
Men Chao looked at him.
The elder across from him smiled, "Such matters are very mysterious, and are difficult to explain clearly. However, I have heard that in the same era, there cannot exist two abnormal souls at the same time. Even if they can temporarily survive, one day, another will disappear."
Men Chao smiled, "Master, this kind of thing still sounds quite horrifying."
"It’s not horrifying, it’s pitiful," the elder sighed deeply, "The world is so vast, there are endless wonders."
Men Chao nodded, as if agreeing.
"Master, how long will you stay in the Imperial Capital this time?"
"I will stay for a while this time," the elder made his move in the chess game, "Firstly, I want to assist you in investigating the case, and secondly, I have a wish that remains unfulfilled."
"What is your wish, Master?"
"Don’t laugh when I tell you," the elder smiled, "You know of the Iron Lady of the Imperial Capital, right? When I was young, I had some unresolved issues with her, and this time, I want to resolve some of these issues."
Men Chao laughed after hearing this, "I’ve heard that the Iron Lady never married."
"Neither have I married in my lifetime."
"There’s a story between you two, isn’t there?"
"Sir, Men Chao’s master returned to the Imperial Capital yesterday,"
Ye Cheng was browsing through the old case files.
Most of the people involved in this case had been brought down, only one remained—the Iron Lady of the Imperial Capital, Bai Liuniang.
Bai Liuniang’s life was legendary, and for that reason, she never married. The people of the Imperial Capital admired her highly whenever they spoke of her.
The case was related to her because she suspected the chemical plant explosion was not accidental or a mistake, but was indeed caused by someone.
However, since no evidence was found, her suspicions had not been validated, though her comments and thoughts were recorded in the case files at the time.
But now that he assumed the identity of the Dragon King, visiting the Iron Lady was not appropriate, nor could he discuss the case with her face-to-face.
After reviewing the case files for a while, he returned home.
Xiaofeng was still fussing with his wine when he saw Ye Cheng come back and waved at him, "Grandpa said this ginseng wine is very nourishing, and you should have a drink before bed."
Listening to her words, Ye Cheng laughed, his eyes filled with insinuation, "Wife, I understand what you mean. Rest assured, I will definitely take care of my health."
Xiaofeng gave him a sideways glance, "You always think nothing good.", "Come on, drink this, try the taste."
Ye Cheng sipped a cup, and with one swallow, felt completely refreshed.
"Wife, you should drink a bit too, shouldn’t I be the only one drinking? A wife tends to be more forward with her husband when she’s tipsy, so it’s best to drink a bit,"
saying so, he already passed the cup to Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng was not unaware of his intentions, but she didn’t refuse and drank it down in one gulp.
"By the way, today Grandpa said, tomorrow he wants me to join him at a banquet, it’s Bai Liuniang’s birthday tomorrow, and he wants me to accompany him and told me not to prepare anything. So who is this Bai Liuniang?"
"Who they call the Iron Lady of the Imperial Capital, not a simple person," Ye Cheng took off his upper garment to go for a shower, "Because she was very dedicated in her younger years, people called her ’Desperate Liuniang’, and later just ’Iron Lady’. She dedicated her whole life to the laboratory, never married, a person of great respect."
"Oh, I see. No wonder Grandpa speaks of her with so much respect."
"In the ’319 Explosion Case’, two of her students were involved. At that time, the project was mainly hers, but since she was unwell during that period, she passed the opportunity to her two students. Unfortunately, the lab exploded, and all the personnel in the lab perished."
"It was concluded at the time as an operational error. The Iron Lady was quite outraged, but as there was no evidence of external factors, she wanted to overturn the case but lacked sufficient evidence."
"Based on what you’ve said, I might indeed be able to form a connection with this Iron Lady tomorrow, which could potentially benefit you."
"No one knows me better than my wife."
