My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

"Duke, General Qin has arrived."

Duke Cheng Shiyuan and Cheng Guang both directed their gazes towards the distance, where at the far end of the street opposite to the one Cheng Guang had come from, a middle-aged man clad in silver war armor was striding quickly towards Cheng Shiyuan.

The man was none other than Qin Beifeng.

At this moment, Qin Beifeng's face bore a hint of anxiety, and his steps were somewhat hurried.

Qin Gaozhi was also following close by Qin Beifeng's side.

"Duke, Princely Heir."

Upon reaching Cheng Shiyuan, Qin Beifeng greeted him first, bowing in respect, then he nodded slightly towards Cheng Guang as a salute.

Qin Gaozhi was also coming over to greet Duke Cheng Shiyuan and Cheng Guang at this time.

While facing Cheng Guang, Qin Gaozhi still looked a bit embarrassed.

However, besides embarrassment, his face also revealed a trace of sorrow.

Cheng Guang merely glanced at Qin Beifeng and Qin Gaozhi's expressions before sensing that something was amiss.

No matter what had happened, it must be significant to cause both Qin Beifeng and Qin Gaozhi such distress.

Could it be that Qin Yanqiu had already been swept into the Secret Realm, and these two had discovered it?

Cheng Guang couldn't help but think of this possibility.

He was aware that the Secret Realm had appeared.

But Duke Cheng Zhihai was still unaware at this time. He too noticed Qin Beifeng's worried expression, but did not overthink it, simply assuming that Qin Beifeng might be fretting over how to deal with the Devil Clan.

Therefore, he said to Qin Beifeng with a smile, "Beifeng, it's good that you've come. My grandson has also just arrived today. He is soon to wed Yanqiu, and I planned on finding an opportunity for these two young ones to meet first, to get acquainted, so that they won't be complete strangers on the day of the wedding ceremony, when we bow before the high hall."

Upon hearing this from Duke Cheng Shiyuan, Qin Beifeng naturally didn't have much to object to and nodded in agreement, but then hesitated and looked somewhat troubled as he said,

"Duke, it's fine for my daughter, Qin Yanqiu, to meet with the Princely Heir, and we military leaders don't need to pay special attention to formalities. It's just that, Yanqiu... has run into trouble."

"Run into trouble?" Upon hearing Qin Beifeng's words, Duke Cheng Shiyuan's brows involuntarily twitched slightly.

"What kind of trouble?"

Duke Cheng Shiyuan's eyes fixed on Qin Beifeng.

Qin Yanqiu could be said to be the apple of Qin Beifeng's eye, and if she indeed had an accident, Qin Beifeng surely would not appear as composed as he did at this moment.

It was thus certain that Qin Yanqiu was not in mortal danger.

Or to be precise, she wasn't dead yet.

As Duke Cheng Shiyuan watched Qin Beifeng, Cheng Guang's gaze also fell upon him.

Although Cheng Guang roughly knew what might have happened to Qin Yanqiu, he did not expect her to encounter trouble so quickly.

He had only just arrived in North City when he heard the news.

If he had arrived any later, would Qin Yanqiu then be gone?

Cheng Guang felt somewhat pained by the thought. Qin Yanqiu, a famed Female Martial God among the Northern Army, now somehow gave Cheng Guang the impression of a fragile university student.

Under the gazes of Duke Cheng Shiyuan and Cheng Guang, Qin Beifeng slowly began to speak, "Duke, on the battlefield of the Border Area, for reasons unknown, a Secret Realm suddenly appeared, and the Spacetime Rift that emerged as a result directly drew Yanqiu into it."

"As to what lies beyond that Spacetime Rift, whether it is dangerous or not, we are completely in the dark."

After Qin Beifeng finished, Duke Cheng Shiyuan's brow furrowed even more deeply.

Secret Realms and Different Treasures usually appeared out of nowhere, without any trace to follow.

Besides that, what troubled Qin Beifeng the most was the randomness of the dangers within the Secret Realm.

Other than entering the Secret Realm to carefully explore it, the only way for others to gauge the level of danger inside was by judging from its appearance and the Qi leaking from it.

The only remaining option was to enter the Secret Realm themselves.

After finishing, Qin Beifeng clenched his teeth tightly and said, "Now that Yanqiu has entered the Secret Realm, I cannot rest easy, and so I plan to go look for her myself."

Upon hearing this, Duke Cheng Shiyuan was about to outright refuse.

To him, Qin Beifeng was a significant general in the Northern Expedition Army, and he must not come to any harm.

But...

Qin Yanqiu was not someone who could be easily given up on either.

After all, she was about to marry his grandson, and now her life hung in the balance before the wedding could even take place.

Now, tell me...

Now, tell me...

What kind of situation is this?

Duke Cheng Shiyuan felt helpless, suffering from a severe headache.

"Beifeng, you needn't go. I will check out the Secret Realm myself."

Upon hearing Duke Cheng Shiyuan's words, Qin Beifeng immediately wanted to refuse.

"Duke, how can you expose yourself to danger? The risks within the Secret Realm are unpredictable, and no one can be sure whether even a Sky-Man like you can emerge unscathed."

"Let me be the one to go."

Duke Cheng Shiyuan's aged eyes widened slightly, "What are you talking about? I am a Sky-Man; even if there are dangers in the Secret Realm, I have more means to protect myself than you do."

"You stay here in North City, don't go anywhere. I'll take a look."

As Duke Cheng Shiyuan spoke, his eyes closed slightly, and immense Qi surged out from within his body, probing the surroundings as if searching.

A moment later, as if he had found something, Duke Cheng Shiyuan slowly opened his eyes, prepared to step forward.
