Chapter 1850 - 1851: Smuggled Ashore

Mao Xuejing said: "Stop arguing for now, just observe, we'll discuss later."

These people stopped talking and watched quietly. After a while, they saw the ship slowly approaching the shore.

A shallow shore served as the landing point since there was no dock, leaving the ship some distance from the shore.

Suddenly, some people jumped off the ship.

The ship seemed small, but no one knew how it held so many people. Within moments, dozens had jumped off, running toward the shore.

The individuals on the distant rocks were stunned; Ling Zhenfei had never seen such a scene.

A large group of raggedly dressed people carrying simple luggage rushed through the surf toward the shore, hitting the beach, climbing the rocks, and heading on the path.

The police, customs officials, and others were shocked.

"What's happening here? Who are these people, and where did they come from?"

"It's smuggling—they're smugglers! I need to call for help to catch them back!"

Mao Xuejing glanced at Ling Zhenfei; their eyes were the same, now certain that the shopkeeper's words were true.

Mao Xuejing's face turned very unpleasant, and she said to those few people: "As the administrative department of this large island, I really don't know how you are working.

Are you increasing the population of Moergawa? These people have arrived, but Moergawa lacks accommodation and food. Naturally, chaos will ensue.

Those without food will steal; without shelter, they'll build their own—that'll be disastrous. Can't you see how chaotic Moergawa is right now, with miscreants everywhere, Jianghu prevailing?

Moergawa's hard-won foundation is about to face upheaval again, and you administrative departments must take full responsibility."

The police replied: "Princess, you can't blame us for this. Our department is just as before; no one reported it, we had no idea."

Mao Xuejing said: "Your responsibility is to maintain stability; you don't act unless there's a report? Sitting in the police station chatting away every day?"

The police lowered their heads, saying nothing, while Mao Xuejing turned to the navy and customs: "No matter what you say, these are maritime arrivals, and your navy failed to spot them.

These smuggling ships return daily, and this is a big island where defense should be tighter. If there's smuggling here, what about Nakajima, or smaller islands?"

The navy replied: "Our navy lacks radar; these small boats can't be detected."

Mao Xuejing retorted: "Stop making excuses, get it sorted immediately, and submit your remedy by tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The individuals replied swiftly, then were dismissed by Mao Xuejing.

It was clear that Mao Xuejing was truly angry; no matter what, this country had always been crucial to her, both past and present. She could not watch it be destroyed.

"Better late than never, Xue Jing, you attended university in Modu, demanding high standards for Moergawa, thinking everywhere is like Huaxia, but in fact, smuggling exists in many other countries too."

Mao Xuejing said: "Of course I know that, but people generally smuggle into developed countries; those countries have countermeasures, unlike Moergawa's lack of preparedness.

Did you hear what the police and customs said? If we hadn't discovered this today, they might never have noticed."

Ling Zhenfei thought about his small island; where the capital stood on the large island, Feixue Island would likely encounter similar problems.

Both began their return, discussing solutions on the way.

However, this issue couldn't be rushed; tomorrow held another very important matter, before consulting Gu Feng about this issue.

Back at their residence, Mao Xuejing retired early, while Ling Zhenfei called Chen Qian.

Telling Chen Qian he had arrived in Moergawa.

Upon hearing, Chen Qian was very happy, sharing that their construction was proceeding smoothly and rapidly.

Ling Zhenfei said: "I'll be there within days, but meanwhile, I have some questions for you."

Chen Qian replied: "Ask away, any issue you have."

Ling Zhenfei inquired: "How is the security on Feixue Island?"

Chen Qian paused briefly: "Truthfully, it's a bit chaotic on Feixue Island; security is patchy, perhaps because I view it with domestic standards.

The crime rate here is significantly higher, and there are smugglers—we've taken in several at our construction site."

Ling Zhenfei asked: "Where do these smugglers come from, and how did they reach Moergawa?"

Chen Qian said: "Most come from South America, where there's ongoing conflict, seeking refuge in peaceful Moergawa."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Understood, how is Hua Nong doing over there?"

Chen Qian said: "Your fellow apprentice is quite well, she'd be very happy to know you are here."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Alright, let's talk when we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei immersed himself in cultivation.

The next morning, Ling Zhenfei woke early, wandering around Moergawa before returning to find Mao Xuejing had prepared breakfast.

A rarity, as Mao Xuejing had made breakfast herself, astonishing Ling Zhenfei.

Mao Xuejing, after all, was a princess, rarely engaging in such tasks, but she not only made breakfast but did it exceptionally well.

Mao Xuejing laughed at Ling Zhenfei's disbelief, saying: "It's nothing; during university in Modu, I lived off-campus with classmates.

Nobody knew my identity; they all thought I was a foreign Chinese, and we took turns making breakfast—they taught me."

Ling Zhenfei finally understood; Mao Xuejing aspired to emulate Huaxia, accustomed to its way of life.

After breakfast, Ling Zhenfei reverted to his outfit from last night and headed to the Imperial Palace.

The agreed time was this morning, when everything would be revealed.

Ling Zhenfei was prepared, eager to see who had the audacity to threaten the Emperor.

The palace guards had heightened their vigilance since yesterday, all on high alert, fingers on triggers.

No matter how skilled, anyone not yet in the Immortal Realm would be vulnerable under gunfire.

Even at the Pursue Heart State, grasping explosives can't save you.

The palace had thus bolstered its troop numbers, ready for anything. Gu Feng had settled into his seat, his entourage of experts and soldiers by his side.
