Zhao Qingya’s assistant hurried over and grasped Li Tianen’s arm. “This time, the mission has arrived,” he declared earnestly. “The burden falls on you.”

“You’re Skyplume City’s hope, their strongest warrior! This quest is yours!” He delivered a firm pat on Li Tianen’s shoulder.

Li Tianen’s lips twitched with displeasure. “What’s wrong? Why the glum face?” the assistant pressed. “This time, the Demon Lord Abyss isn’t messing around. They plan a full-scale attack, not a hit-and-run. You can’t afford to be discouraged. We all depend on you to pull yourself together!”

Her gaze held Li Tianen expectantly. After all, he was their only hope. The enemy was formidable, demanding a fighter of equal caliber.

Taking a deep breath, Li Tianen forcefully shrugged off the assistant’s grip. “Get lost!” he bellowed, storming away in a rage.

The assistant stood rooted to the spot, bewildered. Confusion clouded his face as he watched Li Tianen’s retreating figure. “What’s gotten into him? Why yell at me? Is he afraid? Did his brain malfunction?”

Yuan Huan sighed deeply. “The situation is… his dragon battle pet is gone.”

“Gone? What do you mean gone?” The assistant’s puzzlement deepened. He adjusted his glasses, peering curiously at Yuan Huan.

“Lu Yu took it after Li Tianen angered him.”

A moment of stunned silence followed before the assistant burst out laughing. “City Lord Yuan, are you pulling my leg? How can that be? Isn’t Lu Yu an outsider? Are you suggesting a foreigner can just bully Skyplume City’s strongest general and steal his pet?”

“Tell me the truth. I won’t fall for this.

Yuan Huan’s expression turned stern. “I assure you, it’s the truth.”

Seeing Yuan Huan’s seriousness, the laughter died on the assistant’s lips, replaced by dumbfounded silence.

“No way! You’re saying Li Tianen actually gave up his battle pet to Lu Yu?”

“That’s right. Go find Lu Yu yourself if you don’t believe me. You’ll see for yourself then.”

The assistant clutched his head in disbelief. “So what do we do now? Beg a foreigner for help? That would be a disaster if word got out. Absolutely not!” He shook his head repeatedly, his voice laced with disapproval.

“Not doing it, huh?” Yuan Huan patted his shoulder. “Then just wait for Skyplume City to crumble. Or maybe you want me to fight? I can plug one hole but not a second.”

“Besides, if I abandon my duties here, the city could descend into chaos.”

The assistant deflated, his shoulders slumping. He turned and headed towards Lu Yu’s villa.

Yuan Huan watched him go, a helpless sigh escaping his lips. “What the heck? Who knew Lu Yu would be this powerful?”

Meanwhile, in a central city office building, Zhao Qingya sat in her office, poring over various intelligence reports.

“Any updates? Have those scum arrived?” She inquired sharply.

“Not yet, Mayor Zhao. However, we’ve picked up traces of them making preparations for an attack. Apparently, they’ve readied their dragons and are transporting troops to a valley. It seems they’re gearing up.”

“Are you sure you haven’t been compromised? Give me their exact location!”

“Don’t worry, Mayor. Our undercover skills are unparalleled. Relax, those fools won’t find us!”

“Good. Now, send me their exact coordinates. I want to know their precise location. We’ll eliminate them before they can make their move!”

“Alright, as you wish!”

Suddenly, silence stretched on the other end of the line. No response, no confirmation.

“Hello?” Zhao Qingya pressed after a tense moment. “Can you hear me? Don’t joke around! You can’t just leave me hanging after all that!”

Still no answer.

Zhao Qingya slammed the phone down. She knew her informant wouldn’t casually cut off communication. There was only one explanation.

Wiping a bead of sweat from her brow, she muttered, “This is terrible. We haven’t even gotten the coordinates, and they’re already gone. Li Tianen, the fate of Skyplume City rests on your shoulders now.”

Anxiety gnawed at her as she paced the room. A knock on the door interrupted her frantic movements.

“Miss Zhao, it’s me,” the assistant’s voice called out.

“Come in quickly!”

“Report?” she demanded, her voice laced with worry. “Did Li Tianen make his move? He’s a professional, responsible man. Knowing the truth, he must be preparing for battle, right? Tell him to get ready, now!”

The assistant sighed deeply. “Miss Zhao, things aren’t as optimistic as we hoped. Li Tianen… he can’t fight anymore.”

“Can’t fight? He’s the city’s strongest dragon tamer! Who else compares? If not him, then who? Tell me, why can’t he fight? Is he injured? Ill?”

“Because…” the assistant hesitated, “…his prized dragon is gone. Lu Yu took it.” Zhao Qingya stumbled back, eyes wide with disbelief. “What? His dragon? That can’t be right! Dragons are a warrior’s lifeblood. Li Tianen wouldn’t just hand it over!”

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she continued, “Did Lu Yu overpower him? Force him into submission?”

A glimmer of understanding lit up the assistant’s eyes. “That seems likely. Li

Tianen wouldn’t give up his dragon willingly.”

“Then…” Zhao Qingya’s voice hardened. “If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean Lu Yu is significantly stronger than Li Tianen? Otherwise, Li Tianen wouldn’t have complied.”

The assistant nodded fervently. “Absolutely!”

“Then what are we waiting for? Find Lu Yu! We need his help. If he’s hesitant, bring him here. I’ll personally persuade him.”

“Understood! I’ll leave immediately and try my best to secure his assistance!” The assistant replied with renewed determination and quickly exited the room..
