Chapter 313: Chapter 313: This is Rebellion
Afterwards, the two left the cliff, and by then the forest had turned pitch dark, obscuring the path they had come by.
Watching Guan Yidao leading the way in front of her, Qi Yue released Lightning straight away.
Time meant life!
She needed to hurry back to Longnan County Government, and riding Lightning was the best option.
“Moo moo…”
Lightning, upon appearing, bellowed twice, full of vigor and spirit.
Guan Yidao turned around and jumped in fright at the huge white mass that appeared in the darkness.
On seeing Qi Yue standing next to this white mass, appearing quite affectionate, he took a closer look.
“Miss, is this… a cow?”
“Yes, a White Rhino,” Qi Yue said with a smile. “Let me introduce you to Uncle Guan, this is Lightning. Walking is too slow, we’ll be faster riding it.”
Guan Yidao stared at the White Rhino in amazement, his thick eyebrows furrowing in the dark.
“The legendary magical White Rhino?”

“Yes.”
“You mean we ride it back to Longnan?”
“Yes, it’s very fast; we can reach Pingfeng Town before sunrise. It’ll cut down several days’ journey.”
Pingfeng Town was under the jurisdiction of Longnan County Government, and once there, she planned to discuss her further plans with Guan Yidao.
On hearing her, Lightning seemed to boast and mooed loudly, its breath thundering like a storm, causing a large flock of birds perched on the trees to instantly take flight, and Guan Yidao even stepped back in fright.
Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh.
Lightning was just like her, enjoying bullying people.
She patted Lightning’s head and cooed a few comforting words, and Lightning mooed softly twice, slowly bowing down in front of her.
The adult White Rhino grew rapidly, having grown significantly in just a few months. Its back was strong, muscles thick, making it a very comfortable ride.
Considering Lightning’s incredible speed and its short fur providing no good grip, Qi Yue had specially made a riding kit for him.
It was similar to a horse’s reins, but Lightning was intelligent and didn’t need controlling, this accessory was more like a seatbelt for the rider’s safety.
She had originally planned to let Zhao Xiyan experience this, but since they had always used planes for long distances, he hadn’t had the chance; now it had come in handy, first for Guan Yidao to use.
Qi Yue first helped Guan Yidao climb on and fasten the safety belt.
Worried that Lightning might not be accustomed to it, she sat in front to calm it down, ensuring it wouldn’t lash out.
With a bellow, Lightning almost seemed to leap into the air and darted forward by several meters in an instant.
Guan Yidao, a big man, was scared and started yelling chaotically behind her.
“Ah… too fast…”
Qi Yue, however, was accustomed to planes and had even had the chance to speed in cars in her past life, so she didn’t mind the speed.
With Lightning’s help, saying they could travel thousands of miles in a day wasn’t an exaggeration.
Before dawn, the two had arrived in Pingfeng Town.
Stopping just outside the town, Guan Yidao hugged a tree and began to vomit, and Qi Yue quickly stored the White Rhino back into her space and handed over a flask of Spiritual Spring Water.
“Uncle Guan, drinking some water should help,” she said.
Guan Yidao took it, drank a few gulps, and his face showed immediate surprise.
“What kind of water is this? Sweet… feels much better.”
Qi Yue smirked slyly.
“Concocted by a famous doctor, I’ll give it to you, Uncle Guan. Drinking this should also benefit your back injury,” she offered.
“Thank you, Miss,” he said.
Guan Yidao secured the water flask and started looking around.
Knowing he was searching for Lightning, Qi Yue said, “I let it go, following us would be inconvenient.”
Guan Yidao nodded.
“I was wondering, Lightning must be quite conspicuous in daylight, and someone would surely covet it,” he observed.
Qi Yue smiled slightly.
“Anyone who dares to covet, surely doesn’t know what they’re up against,” she said.
Guan Yidao paused for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.
“Indeed, Miss, you’ve become powerful now. If your father were still alive, I don’t know how happy he would be.”
The two of them walked to the manor on foot, and along the way, Guan Yidao spoke of many things.
Qi Yue also came to understand Guan Yidao’s extraordinary affection for Qi Yunzhang.
It turned out that Guan Yidao was originally a servant of a wealthy family in the Capital City and had been driven out for peeking at his master studying.
Just then, Qi Yunzhang was recruiting soldiers, and Guan Yidao, thinking he had nothing left to lose, decided to try his luck in the military.
And so, he joined the Longnan Army, starting from the lowest rank.
After joining the army, he discovered that he was a coward who trembled at the sight of blood — how could he fight and kill?
Once, during a battle, as an enemy blade was about to strike, he stood frozen in place without any intention of dodging.
At that moment, a sword flew from the distance and killed the enemy before him.
The hot blood exploded before him, splashing his face.
It was Qi Yunzhang who had saved him.
“Your father shouted at me, ‘Stand up and fight the enemy, you won’t die if you’re not afraid!’
“That day, I killed my first man, but I felt as if a power had been awakened within me.”
“I then secretly vowed that I, Guan Yidao, had died, and that I wouldn’t need to die again. Indeed, I never died after that, advancing step by step to Lieutenant General. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before your father had his unfortunate incident….”
Qi Yue comforted Guan Yidao and was touched to learn that he hadn’t married or had children, dedicating his heart to avenging Qi Yunzhang.
After settling down in Pingfeng Town, the two did not even pause to rest, immediately starting their plotting.
Qi Yue repeated to Guan Yidao what she had previously told Song Gensheng, and Guan Yidao nodded continuously.
“Miss can be assured, although ten years have passed and the Longnan Army has been transformed into the Hu Family Army by Hu Keqing, the core members are still there. As soon as the Hu father and son die, they will surely obey your orders.”
Such a direct and firm response made Qi Yue somewhat embarrassed.
Previously, she had thought about forcing Guan Yidao to comply if he were unwilling.
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but make a joke.
“Uncle Guan, this is rebellion — a crime punishable by decapitation. You must think carefully; once you go, you will no longer be the commander of the Beiyuan Court.”
“To hell with being a commander; I was fed up a long time ago!”
Once everything was decided, Qi Yue urged Guan Yidao to rest in Pingfeng Town for the night and start off for Nanling early the next morning, but she couldn’t persuade him.
“As soon as I think about avenging your father, I can’t sleep. I will set off after eating.”
Qi Yue had no choice but to give him two bottles of Carefree Pills to consume.
After all, he was well into his thirties, and they had their share of aches and pains. Without care, who knows when they might collapse?
Considering Guan Yidao’s low combat power, she also gave him a bulletproof vest and a laser gun.
After personally testing these two items, Guan Yidao was amazed, his eyes wide for a long time before he returned to normal.
“Miss, where did you get these from?”
Qi Yue helplessly spread her hands, “You can consider them my own creation.”
Guan Yidao closely examined the two items in his hands, shouting in his mind ‘impossible’!
The material alone didn’t seem to belong to this world.
Could it be true, as rumors claimed, that a monster had taken over Miss Qi’s body?
Yet, in their conversation, she remembered things from her childhood distinctly clear.
However, she wasn’t this formidable back then.
Her abilities now seemed against the heavens, able to command the White Rhino and invisibly enter Lin Yuan’s study to take documents…
Wait, a few days ago, he received a secret letter. The Prime Minister’s household was emptied, and the Imperial Palace had issues as well…
And she had the White Rhino, capable of traveling thousands of miles in one night. Time-wise, from the Capital City to here, it adds up perfectly…
He dared not think further, swallowing hard, temporarily lost for words.
Seeing that he was deeply conflicted, Qi Yue did not mind and instead just advised him on what to pay attention to once they arrived in Nanling.
“Uncle Guan, we have our people there. If there’s an issue, just send me a message. I wish you success upon arrival!”
Only then did Guan Yidao snap back to reality.
“Right, success upon arrival. It will definitely be successful!”
He secretly made a decision in his heart: Regardless of whether Qi Yue was a monster, she was still Qi Yunzhang’s daughter!
