As the game server launched, Xingyu had many things to attend to. After bidding farewell to Ye Ling and Ye You, he left in a hurry.
Ye Family Manor returned to peace.
Ye You also wanted to experience the new game immediately. She said to Ye Ling, "Brother, I won't bother you anymore. You should find something to do yourself."
"Oh, right! Brother, since you're back for a visit, why don't you go see Sister Ruoxue? She's been working very hard lately!"
After speaking, Ye You immediately picked up the game helmet that Xingyu had left in the courtyard and rushed into her room.
"This girl... she's really become a gaming fanatic."
Ye Ling smiled and shook his head, watching Ye You's eager expression. Then, he looked in a certain direction of Jiangcheng and murmured to himself, "Speaking of which, after so many years, I wonder how Ruoxue is doing. I should go see her."
Ye Ling thought of his childhood sweetheart who had waited for him for so many years, and a wave of guilt washed over him. He immediately summoned one of his ten divine weapons left on Earth, the Demon Sword Tian Zhu, and said, "Tian Zhu."
"Your Majesty?"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's summons, Tian Zhu's voice was filled with excitement. "You finally remembered us!"
Ye Ling replied with an apologetic tone, "Beyond the Three Thousand Universes, there were simply too many things to deal with. Even after I returned, I encountered a pile of troubles. I am truly sorry to all of you."
Tian Zhu said, "Your Majesty, what are you saying? We brothers and sisters all understand you. Even though you left Earth, we have been diligently cultivating here. Now, the Demon Palace has become the most powerful hidden force in the Three Realms of Earth, controlling the vital arteries of all nations!"
"As long as Your Majesty gives the word, we brothers and sisters will serve you at any time!"
Ye Ling said, "I happen to have something for you to do right now. First, go notify Xue Sha and the others to prepare themselves."
"No problem!" Tian Zhu replied quickly, swiftly contacting Ye Ling's other nine divine weapons.
Upon hearing Ye Ling's call, Ye Ling's other divine weapons also became excited and began carrying out Ye Ling's requests.
Great tremors occurred in various parts of the world, to varying degrees.
Countless influential figures fell into a state of panic. They couldn't understand why the supreme beings who controlled the world and had been inactive for so long had suddenly appeared.
For a time, intelligence agencies in various countries began to operate at full capacity, trying to find the reason for the supreme beings' sudden actions in order to quickly gauge the situation and prepare accordingly.
After all, Ye Ling's divine weapons had long been secretly controlling the entire world. Their every move could have an extremely profound impact on the entire world.
Ye Ling, who had orchestrated all of this, paid no attention to the unfolding events on Earth. After arranging for Tian Zhu and Xue Sha to carry out his tasks, he soared into the sky and flew towards the Su Corporation Building!
In the heart of Jiangcheng stood a skyscraper, the world's tallest building – the Su Corporation Building.
After Ye Ling left Earth, Su Ruoxue, with her outstanding abilities and the secret assistance of Ye Ling's ten divine weapons, had built a vast commercial empire in recent years, with its reach extending into all industries.
Even Stellar Entertainment, which released "The Judgment of Good and Evil," had Su Ruoxue's shares behind it.
It could be said that the Su family today was the undisputed richest family in the world, openly speaking.
In the eyes of outsiders, Su Ruoxue had reached the pinnacle of life and only had enjoyment left. However, despite accumulating immense wealth, she worked frantically every day and lived extremely frugly, showing no signs of being the world's richest person.
Some said Su Ruoxue did this because she was stingy, but every employee of the Su Corporation received a high salary and worked from nine to five, with weekends off and even double holidays!
It could be said that Su Ruoxue was the best boss in the world to her employees. Money was not even a number to her.
Others said Su Ruoxue was simply a workaholic, but employees often saw her standing alone on the rooftop, lost in thought. Many times, Su Ruoxue would seem distracted during important meetings, appearing to be indifferent to her work.
No one around her could ever fathom Su Ruoxue's thoughts. Even the world's most influential journals had described Su Ruoxue as the most perplexing businesswoman.
However, no matter how outsiders speculated about Su Ruoxue, she never responded to the outside world. She simply repeated her tasks day after day, as if numbing herself.
In reality, Su Ruoxue was indeed using her busy work to suppress her longing.
She knew very well that her beloved was no ordinary person.
He bore a great responsibility, and all her current achievements were insignificant compared to the great deeds he was undertaking.
No matter how hard she tried to catch up, she couldn't even see his back.
In fact, Su Ruoxue had already prepared herself mentally. It was possible that her ordinary self had already been forgotten by her beloved, and she might never wait for him to return in her lifetime!
However, she harbored no resentment.
No matter how far her beloved had gone, how dazzlingly he shone, or how many excellent and perfect confidantes he had by his side, she always remembered... the young man who, even in the depths of despair, had fearlessly protected her.
She still remembered the Emperor who, upon his triumphant return, had saved her from the abyss.
No matter how the years changed, for Su Ruoxue, she had her cherished memories, and that was enough.
...
Su Corporation Building, top floor, Su Ruoxue's office.
"Director Su, there's a foreign trade order worth thirty billion that requires your signature," the secretary said respectfully to Su Ruoxue, who was working, as she approached the office door with a stack of documents.
"Leave it on the desk. I'll handle it later," Su Ruoxue replied, her gaze not even shifting from the documents in front of her.
The secretary was accustomed to this and placed the documents on the desk, continuing, "Oh, Director Su, the Prince of Country D wishes to have dinner with you tonight."
"Decline it."
"But he made this dinner appointment two years ago, and you had previously agreed. He arrived in Jiangcheng a month ago and has been preparing for this dinner."
Hearing the secretary's words, Su Ruoxue paused and looked up at the secretary. "When did I agree to this?"
"You said it when you went to Country D for inspection years ago," the secretary nodded. "You said that when the sun rises in the west, you would consider accepting the invitation. Then, Country D truly mobilized its entire nation to build an artificial sun, making it rise from the west. Didn't it make the news before?"
"Really? Then I must have forgotten. I didn't expect anyone foolish enough to do it," Su Ruoxue chuckled.
"The secretary asked, "Then shall I arrange the schedule?"
"Still decline it... I have a lot of work to do recently and can't get away."
"Then regarding the Prince of Country D..."
"Their country has always wanted our Su Corporation to establish a presence there. Just arrange a suitable project for them," Su Ruoxue waved her hand. After instructing the secretary, she was about to continue working when Ye Ling's voice sounded from outside the office door: "I didn't expect our Ruoxue to be so popular. I wonder if Miss has time to have dinner with a闲人 like me?"
Hearing Ye Ling's voice, Su Ruoxue, who had always been calm and composed, trembled all over!
The expensive fountain pen in her hand dropped to the floor.
