"Yes...I'm sorry."

Extremely reluctantly, Xiong Zhuang apologized to Yi Shuihan.

"Ah."

Yi Shuihan nodded slightly, offering no further comment.

"Zhuang'er, let's go."

After giving Yi Shuihan a deep look, Teria strode away, with Xiong Zhuang following behind her with his head down.

"Sister Huaxiang, I suddenly remembered something, so I'll have to go now."

"Oh dear, I promised my senior sister I'd help her refine pills, I'm going to be late."

"Junior Sister Fu, didn't you say you wanted to exchange ideas with me? Let's do it now!"

In the blink of an eye, the Hundred Flowers Palace was completely empty, leaving only Yi Shuihan and Hundred Flowers Fragrance.

"You were so cool just now. Look at Tria's face, it's hilarious. I never expected you to get so many treasures. You really are worthy of being called Little Hanhan."

Bai Huaxiang said excitedly, feeling a deep connection to Yi Shuihan's previous show of fame, as if it were herself who had been in the limelight, not Yi Shuihan.

"I'm also surprised. Did you really get so little? I thought it wouldn't end until we produced it."

Yi Shuihan took out the Law Flower, and a unique fragrance of the Law Flower filled the surroundings, refreshing the mind and making people's minds incredibly active.

Faced with the fragrance of a hundred flowers, Yi Shuihan didn't mind being known to have picked the Law Flower.

"Could this be... a Law Flower!?"

Baihuaxiang opened her mouth wide, looking incredulous.

"That's right, it's the Law Flower."

"My God! You're so lucky! It's been so long since anyone has managed to collect a Law Flower. The last time I remember collecting one was hundreds of millions of years ago."

Baihuaxiang was simply happy for Yi Shuihan, but she had no interest in the Law Flower, even though it was very useful to her.

"I actually think I'm pretty lucky."

Looking at Bai Huaxiang's genuine smile, Yi Shuihan felt a momentary flutter in his heart, but he quickly suppressed the emotion.

After a moment of silence, Yi Shuihan revealed the purpose of his visit to Baihuaxiang.

"What? You say you're leaving? In such a hurry? Why? Is it because of Xiong Zhuang? Or are you unhappy here?"

Baihuaxiang seemed very agitated.

"No, I'm just not used to it."

"Aren't you used to it?"

As she murmured to herself, Baihuaxiang felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and her body went limp. She had vaguely realized something.

"Then will you come back?"

Those expectant eyes were hard to refuse, but Yi Shuihan ultimately did not give Bai Huaxiang the answer she was hoping for. He looked at Bai Huaxiang quietly, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Hmm? When did I, Yi Shuihan, stop acting according to my own heart? So what if there is pressure from Emperor Xinrui? If Baihuaxiang is unwilling to follow me after knowing the truth, and she is willing to seal her memories, then this matter can be left alone. But what if she is willing to follow me? Emperor Xinrui will not be able to stop this."

A sudden realization made Yi Shuihan change his attitude, but he still didn't tell Bai Huaxiang the whole story on the spot. Instead, he said, "I will tell you everything when we meet again. If you still don't regret it then, you will get what you want."

Baihuaxiang's dim eyes suddenly became incredibly bright, and she once again shone with amazing brilliance.

"You must tell me everything next time we meet."

"of course."

"Don't lie to me, we made a promise, pinky swear."

"Hook?"

Staring in astonishment at Baihuaxiang, who was extending her little finger like a child, it was astonishing that this tradition had actually spread to all the heavens and myriad worlds.

With a slight smile, Yi Shuihan also placed her little finger on the screen. The two little fingers, one big and one small, touched each other, signifying that an agreement had been reached.

Afterwards, Yi Shuihan left the Flower Realm as planned and went to the company headquarters.

"Didn't expect we'd meet so soon, did you?"

In the office, Tria sat in the boss's chair, smiling at Yi Shuihan.

On the desk, a vertical sign reads "Head of Special Operations: Tria".

Yi Shuihan's task of protecting Baihuaxiang was assigned by this special mission department. Although he knew that it was probably related to Baihuaxiang, he still did not expect that the head of this mission department was Teria.

"I really didn't expect that."

He readily admitted it, but Yi Shuihan didn't show any emotion other than surprise, which disappointed Tria.

"You should know why you're here."

"They said I had a specific task assigned to me."

"That's right, this mission is..."

Chapter 1411, Battle of Emperors

Tria and Yi Shuihan stared at each other, remaining in this position for several minutes, ever since Tria finished explaining the assigned task.

Both Yi Shuihan and Teria were very patient. A few minutes of staring at each other was nothing, and if neither of them broke the deadlock first, this situation could easily continue for several hours.

The task assigned to Yi Shuihan was not complicated; in fact, it could be described as very simple. If Yi Shuihan wanted to, he could complete the task in less than a minute without even leaving his office.

The task was to submit a Law Flower within a year.

Yi Shuihan didn't believe that Tria wouldn't be unaware of the difficulty in finding the Law Flower. With only such a short time allotted, it was clear that the news of Yi Shuihan possessing the Law Flower had already been exposed. As for who exposed it to Tria, it was unlikely that Baihuaxiang would have revealed it voluntarily. Either Tria found out on her own through special means, or Baihuaxiang was passively leaked it.

"Perhaps that person is warning me."

The image of the emperor she had met in the Flower Realm automatically surfaced in her mind. The entire Flower Realm was his territory. Perhaps it was because of what Yi Shuihan said to Baihuaxiang at the end that she developed a dislike for him and revealed a little information about the Law Flower, which led to this situation.

Regardless, Tria knew that Yi Shuihan possessed the Law Flower, and the main question now was how Yi Shuihan should choose.

Should he simply hand over the Law Flower? That's definitely impossible. He can't embolden Teria. He, Yi Shuihan, isn't someone who can be taken for granted. It's obvious that this mission is targeting him. If he obediently gives in, he'll not only lose benefits for nothing, but also appear easy to bully.

Of course, simply refusing directly is not a good solution, as that might lead to Tria using other methods, which wouldn't address the root of the problem.

As long as Yi Shuihan wants to continue working at this company, he must abide by certain rules. If Teria uses the company's rules against him, he can only retaliate with the same rules.

"It seems that assigned tasks can be refused, right?"

Yi Shuihan spoke calmly.

Tria's expression changed slightly, but she quickly calmed down.

"You can refuse, but are you sure you want to refuse? If you refuse, then you won't get your salary for the next hundred million years."

"Of course I won't refuse."

"then you……"

"I was just asking."

As he spoke, Yi Shuihan flipped his hand and took out the Law Flower. When Tria saw the Law Flower in Yi Shuihan's hand, her eyes immediately lit up.

In fact, the one who needed the Law Flower was herself. She hadn't made any progress in a long time and had fallen into a bottleneck, which she needed the Law Flower to break through.

Tria stood up, extended her hand to Yi Shuihan, and made a gesture to receive the Law Flower.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Yi Shuihan looked at Tria with a puzzled expression.

"Stop pretending, give it to me. Don't you just want to complete the mission?"

"Of course I want to complete the mission, but completing the mission doesn't necessarily mean I have to give it to you!"

Tria was dumbfounded by these words, completely baffled by what Yi Shuihan meant.

"I've heard that there are rules for designated tasks. The faster you complete a task, the greater the reward. If you can complete it within an hour, you'll receive a reward ten times the difficulty of the task. I'll turn in the task now, which would be perfect. Hmm, I only need two Law Flowers as a reward, so you still owe me one Law Flower. You've made a profit."

Upon hearing these words, Tria's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Yi Shuihan wasn't being unreasonable; the rules he mentioned were real. However, in reality, these rules, while they existed, were essentially useless. These rules were for designated tasks at the level of Chaos Emperor or higher, and tasks that the company designated only for Chaos Emperors to complete were by no means simple. Complete them within an hour? That was simply a pipe dream.

Teria glared fiercely at Yi Shuihan, clearly furious.

"You win this time."

After a long silence, Tria finally spoke.

"What do you mean 'you win' and 'I win'? Hurry up and change the mission status! I've even taken out this Law Flower. Here, let you touch it to go through the proper procedures."

Yi Shuihan put on an "I'm waiting for you" look.

"Don't try to stall for time. I've written everything down, and I have evidence."

A piece of white jade emerged from the hand that had not taken the Law Flower. It was a Recording Jade, and an extremely high-grade one at that, completely impossible to forge.

"Hahaha……!"

Suddenly, Tria burst into loud laughter, leaving Yi Shuihan bewildered.

"Yi Shuihan, do you think this will work? Let me tell you the truth, this mission wasn't my idea, it was Master's. Even if you're right, so what?"

The truth is out: Tria couldn't win the argument herself, so she brought out her backing.

Tria thought that Yi Shuihan would be shocked by her words, but the reality was different from what she expected. Yi Shuihan was stunned for a moment, and then just looked at her quietly, completely unmoved.

"Don't you know who I am?"

Yi Shuihan said quietly, "I'm not without a powerful backer too!" The ranking of the Creation Emperor is above that of the Heart Bud Emperor. If it weren't for the fact that the Heart Bud Emperor is the mother of the Hundred Flowers Fragrance and has a special relationship, Yi Shuihan would never have compromised so easily.

"Who are you? Aren't you just..."

When Teria finally realized that Yi Shuihan was a disciple of the Creation Emperor, the atmosphere became tense.

"Dong dong..."

The knock on the door eased the awkward atmosphere in the office slightly.

"Come in."

Tria sat down again, and then appeared calm again.

"Chief, something terrible has happened."

The one who entered was a True Saint, but judging from his aura, he was someone who had barely stepped into the True Saint realm, and his strength was basically fixed.

At this moment, the face of this true saint was filled with panic.

"What terrible thing has happened? Explain yourself."

"Emperor Xinrui and Emperor Duxin are fighting."

"What!?"

Tria jumped to her feet in shock, her face filled with disbelief, while Yi Shuihan beside her was equally astonished.

Two Great Emperors, both belonging to the same company faction, are actually fighting?

Chapter 1412, Becoming the Leader of the Guardians

"Impossible? Master and Poison Heart Emperor have no enmity, so why would they suddenly start fighting? Are you mistaken? They were just sparring."

Tria stared intently at the True Saint who came in to report, and her aura suddenly exploded.

"Mercy, Chief! Mercy!"

Under the pressure of Tria's Enlightenment Realm cultivation, the employees with only True Saint cultivation level knelt down and began to bleed.

Seeing that the True Saint employee's eyes were starting to turn white and he looked like he was about to faint, Tria finally slowly withdrew her aura.

"Huff... Huff..."

The sound of heavy breathing filled the office.

Where were they fighting?

The moment the question was asked, the ground began to shake slowly, like an earthquake, and the shaking speed increased.

Fortunately, this is the company headquarters, and the building is of good quality; the earthquake did not cause large-scale damage.

In Yi Shuihan's perception, he only felt two vast and boundless wills in the sky. Under these wills, Yi Shuihan felt that he was extremely insignificant and there was no possibility of comparison whatsoever.

It is clear that these two wills are Emperor Xinrui and Emperor Duxin.
