Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this moment, Ye Zi stood in front of Lu Yao’s bed with a heavy heart. Even though almost a month had pa.s.sed, she still couldn’t accept this matter. But what could she do even if she couldn’t accept it?
The truth was right there. Regardless of whether she accepted it or not, she couldn’t deny it. Thinking of this, Yezi sighed deeply, accepting the truth.
“It’s alright.”
Lu Yao could see Ye Zi’s regret. She looked at Yezi and said softly, “This kind of thing is very normal. It’s not a big deal.
“However, since a traitor has already appeared, what should we do next?”
Lying on the hospital bed, she said softly and calmly. Compared to the current Ye Zi, Lu Yao appeared even calmer. She was completely different from a normal high school girl. During this time, Lu Yao had been growing at a rapid speed. Although she was still a little immature, the current Lu Yao was completely different from before.
Sensing Lu Yao’s calmness, Ye Zi sighed softly. While she was somewhat gratified, she could not help but s.h.i.+ft her attention.
Lu Yao was right. The most important thing was not anything else but the transformation that was about to happen. The last time Lu Yao went through the transformation, that group of people chased after her accurately, following the traces of the Golden Power.
If it were not for the accident that happened at the critical moment and someone appeared to save them, they would most likely be dead by now. However, just because they had such good luck last time didn’t mean that it would be the same the next time.
Even now, they still didn’t know the person’s ident.i.ty who had saved them previously. At this time, it was more important than anything to try to prevent others from catching Lu Yao’s tracks.
Thinking of this, Ye Zi quickly calmed down and began to ponder. A moment later, she pa.s.sed a secret technique to Lu Yao.
“This is a secret technique of the Golden Power and also a way to conceal your power.”
Looking at Lu Yao on the bed, Ye Zi said softly, “With your talent and the power of the Golden Mark, you should be able to master this secret technique very soon.
“At that time, the aura of the Golden Power will completely disappear, and those people won’t be able to find you.”
“Since there’s such a good method, why didn’t you take it out earlier?”
Hearing Ye Zi’s words, Lu Yao’s face instantly revealed a look of joy, and then she couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. If Lu Yao had mastered this secret technique before this, then the dangerous situation that had happened before would undoubtedly not have happened. Therefore, she couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled and subconsciously looked at Ye Zi in front of her.
Sensing Lu Yao’s confusion, Ye Zi sighed softly and explained, “This secret technique is a precautionary measure.
“If this secret technique is used, not only those people, but even your followers will not be able to find you.
“If this is the case, it will also cause trouble for your followers.”
After a thousand years of baptism, most of the followers of the Golden King were scattered throughout the universe, hiding in every corner. With the size of the universe and the vastness of countless stars, if there was no special method to locate them, there was no way to find them.
Under such circ.u.mstances, the Golden Mark on Lu Yao’s body was equivalent to a coordinate, and it was also the best symbol to guide the followers of the Golden King to rush over.
If the aura of the Golden King was suppressed and the Golden Mark stopped releasing its aura, then the majority of the risks would be eliminated. However, at the same time, some of the followers of the Golden King would not be able to find Lu Yao.
To a certain extent, this was a bad thing. Hence, previously, Ye Zi did not give this secret technique to Lu Yao. But now, she had no choice but to do so.
In the Round Table meeting, a follower of the former Golden King appeared. Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the traitor, if Lu Yao maintained the same situation as before, it would be a dead end. Hence, she had no choice but to change.
“I see.”
Hearing Ye Zi’s explanation, Lu Yao nodded and did not mind. “It doesn’t matter anymore.
“At the end of the day, according to Ye Zi, my predecessor has been dead for almost a thousand years. How many followers can I leave behind?”
She shook her head and said softly, “It’s enough that you’re here, Ye Zi.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Ye Zi beside her and said softly.
“My king…”
Standing in front of Ye Zi’s bed and listening to Lu Yao’s words, Ye Zi’s heart skipped a beat. She was inexplicably moved.
“It’s done.”
Lu Yao smiled, then slowly closed her eyes and began to study seriously, trying to master this secret technique. The process was very fast. Just as Yezi had said, as the Golden King, Lu Yao was very fast at mastering these secret techniques.
In just a short time, she had completely mastered this secret technique, and it didn’t even take her much time. Then, she gave it a try. With the circulation of the secret technique, all the extraordinary aura on Lu Yao’s body disappeared.
Not only was it the aura of the Golden King, but all the special things that she had gained from cultivating telekinesis had also disappeared. At first glance, she looked just like an ordinary and unremarkable little girl. There was nothing abnormal about her at all.
In others’ sight, she was just an ordinary person. n.o.body would believe that she was the Golden King. Yezi watched the entire scene from the side. Looking at Lu Yao in front of her, she couldn’t help but sigh softly, feeling a little emotional.
In the beginning, Lu Yao was just an ordinary girl. She still looked very young and immature, without any signs of being a king. But as time pa.s.sed, Lu Yao’s growth speed was very fast. Until now, she had already grown to a certain extent and had the true demeanor of a powerhouse.
Of course, at this moment, it was still very far from the goal. But compared to the beginning, Lu Yao’s change at this moment was very big. This was a good thing. Ye Zi could not help but put on a faint smile on her face, and she felt a little happy.
“Oh, right.”
Standing in front of Lu Yao, Ye Zi seemed to have a sudden thought and said, “Just now, your mother was chatting with the neighbors, and it seemed like your brother, my king, is coming back soon.”
“Brother is coming back?”
Hearing Yezi’s words, Lu Yao’s body instantly stiffened, and she inexplicably felt a sense of guilt. She had not forgotten that when she and Ye Zi had escaped, she had seen Chen Heng in that city.
At that time, Chen Heng should have been patrolling, but he had helped them deal with the Shadow Old Man. To a certain extent, this had also resolved their crisis at that time. Otherwise, the final outcome would have been hard to say.
“Brother… will he discover something?”
Sitting upright on the hospital bed, Lu Yao looked at Ye Zi in front of her with a conflicted expression. At this moment, she opened her mouth to speak.
“It should… it shouldn’t be that bad…”
Ye Zi also looked a little hesitant. At this moment, she opened her mouth to speak, “At that time, we were in disguise.”
“Even if your brother had discovered something at that time, he probably wouldn’t have been able to link it with us.”
Ye Zi speculated the situation at that time. The person was most likely someone from the Qika Federation’s Officials. As for why he wanted to help them fend off the Shadow Old Man, it was most likely an official order.
After all, the Qika Federation and the Round Table weren’t on the same page. It didn’t seem strange for them to have someone create an opening for them at that time and let them live.
However, the only thing that shocked them was the terrifying battle prowess that Chen Heng had displayed at that time.
“Speaking of which, my king, your brother is truly savage…”
Standing on the spot, Ye Zi looked at Lu Yao in front of her and said with a bitter smile, “A general-level, he was beaten to death just like that…”
“How terrifying…”
“My brother, he…”
Lying on the hospital bed, listening to Ye Zi’s words, Lu Yao revealed a bitter smile on her face. At this moment, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be unable to say anything.
Logically speaking, it was extremely illogical for her brother to have such terrifying combat strength. However, to Lu Yao, who had been shrouded in the shadow of her brother since she was young, it seemed to be a matter of course for her brother to have such terrifying strength.
Perhaps, in her younger sister’s eyes, her brother always had a mysterious aura around him. No matter what powerful things he did, it was only natural and not surprising.
Of course, even with the support of the aura, what Chen Heng had done before was a little too much. This was also the reason why they did not know about the subsequent news.
If they knew that Chen Heng had killed not only a Level Four but also a small leader of the Round Table, they would not have reacted like this.
However, it was still alright. Because of the Round Table, the battle that day had not been made public. Everything was still a mystery. Therefore, the news of the appearance of the Level Five and Olly’s death was only known by a small number of people on the entire Qika Star.
“As long as I act normal, there shouldn’t be a problem…”
Lying on the hospital bed, Lu Yao thought about it and still felt that there shouldn’t be a problem.
There really shouldn’t be a problem. After all, at that time, in order to avoid being pursued by those people from the Round Table, not only were they in disguise, but they also changed the aura all over their bodies.
Judging from the level of the secret technique that Ye Zi had mastered, Chen Heng should not have discovered it. This thought flashed through Lu Yao’s mind, and she began to gradually feel at ease.
Thus, a few days pa.s.sed just like that. Chen Heng returned home from the outside. After returning home, he put down his luggage and looked around. At this moment, he was not at the place where he had previously lived.
Ever since Chen Heng became a Guardian, his parents had moved to another villa. This was both a need and a necessity. After all, because of Chen Heng’s rising status, his family was no longer ordinary.
If they lived on the ordinary streets, they would inevitably encounter a lot of trouble. Therefore, a while ago, Chen Heng’s parents moved to another villa area to live. At that time, this villa seemed to have been found by Liu Rou with her help, and the price was also very affordable.
This was the first time Chen Heng came here. He looked around in front of the gate before entering. As soon as he entered inside, he was surrounded by a s.p.a.cious living room.
The decorations around him were very exquisite. At a glance, it showed that a lot of effort and heart was invested into it. The living room looked very comfortable, and people could not help but have a good impression of it.
Chen Heng walked in and casually put down his things. Then, he asked, “Where’s Yao Yao?”
“She’s still resting upstairs. I think she’s still sleeping right now.”
His predecessor’s mother said with a smile as she came over to help Chen Heng put his luggage aside. After entering the living room, Chen Heng had nothing in hand to do.
Therefore, he casually sat on the sofa and looked around. Everywhere around him was a bustling scene. Although they had already developed, the original body’s parents still hadn’t completely changed. At this moment, everything in the family was done by themselves. Seeing them busy up and down, Chen Heng just watched silently. Then, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
He was thinking about the next arrangements. If the situation did not go wrong, in half a year at most, someone from the Five Knights would descend here.
At that time, Lu Yao definitely would not be able to stop them. Chen Heng himself was not confident. Of course, he was very confident in himself. However, having the confidence doesn’t ensure his victory.
The opponent was not an ordinary person but also an overlord of a region. Facing the famous Five Knights, probably no one in this world would dare to claim that he was certain of victory. And thinking of the consequences if Chen Heng was defeated…
Chen Heng could not help but raise his head and look at his parents, who were busy in front of him. Once he was defeated, the people related to Lu Yao would definitely be punished, and even the people around him would not be able to escape.
At that time, he himself would be fine. Nothing would’ve happened to him. Lu You would most likely be fine as well since she was the chosen one and has heaven’s blessings.
But what about their parents in front of him? This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. Many of the characters were just fillers of a background in some stories. They might only be small characters and did not have much power. They did not have much relevance in the story. But in real life, they were all living beings.
Chen Heng could be cold-blooded, or he could do anything to achieve his goal. However, he couldn’t ignore everything and deny these things. Therefore, he began to think about the arrangements for his predecessor’s parents.
At least, even if he was defeated and died, he had to protect his parents as much as possible.
