Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“No! This is definitely not a mistake!” The Great priest said. “When the Sacred Heaven Kingdom was first established, to discourage renegades, everyone who served in the palace had to learn the Sacred Duke Incantation. Once the person masters this skill, his or her cultivation will increase very quickly. But at the same time, their lives are with the Sacred Duke! Seventh priest is the perfect example. He violated you as a princess as a subordinate, thus the Sacred Heavenly Duke’s Special Ability was awakened and killed him!”
Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti were speechless.
Who knew that there was such a special bloodline in this world! Having allowed their subordinates to learn the Sacred Duke Incantationand should their subordinates renegade, they would be killed mercilessly!
Chen Xiaobei looked at Luo Puti and said, “Judging from Seventh priest’s death and the 11 priests’ fear of you, we can be certain that the Great priest was telling the truth! You really are the princess with Scared Heavenly Duke’s bloodline!”
“No… No… This must be a mistake.” Luo Puti shook her head. “My father is Luo Bin, and my mother is Lin Xue. I am not some princess! I just want to find my parents!”
“Calm down! You have to accept the truth!” Chen Xiaobei comforted in a gentle voice.
“No! I can’t accept it! I just want to find my parents! I cannot accept anything else!” Luo Puti had completely lost control of her emotions.
All these years, she had been searching for parents. It was her only dream, her only desire.
When she finally found the truth, she was told that her parents were not her real parents. All that she had done was merely then a waste of time?
This was not what she wanted to hear.
“Luo Bin? Lin Xue?” The Great priest said, “Princess, please don’t panic. These two people are still in the Sacred City. You’ll be able to see them if you follow me to Sacred Duke Starfield!”
“Really? You know them?” Luo Puti asked.
“Of course, I do!” The Great priest nodded.
“Can you tell me what happened? Tell me now!”
“We’ll have to go all the way back to 24 years ago!” The Great priest said. “That year, an enemy invaded Sacred Duke Starfield, and our Sacred City was in danger! If the city was impinged, then the Royal Family would have been ma.s.sacred! In order to protect the new-born princess, the king sent Luo Bin and Lin Xue, and the royal doctor, Luo Xun, on a covert mission to bring the princess to earth! For the rest of the 19 years, imperial physician Luo Xun became grandfather to the princess, Luo Bin and Lin Xue took on the role as her parents, and together they raised the princess!”
Luo Puti tried to digest what she was hearing.
19 years!
That was a very significant period!
It was on her 19th birthday that Luo Puti’s parents suddenly disappeared.
That year, Luo Puti ‘s entire temperament changed. Her life totally derailed, and everything changed.
“What happened?!” Luo Puti asked. “Why did my parents leave me that year? Why didn’t my grandfather say anything about why they left? Why?”
“Calm down, princess. Please listen!” The Great priest continued, “You were 19 years old that year, you were already an adult. It was the perfect age for marriage! Also, the battle was still ongoing! In order to end the war, the king decided to betroth the princess to the prince of a neighbouring kingdom in exchange for their confederation.”
“Their ally took the opportunity and made some ridiculous demands. Our Sacred King’s heart hardened and he decided that he was just going to use a well-trained female martyr to take the princess’ place to get this marriage done and over with! But their ally was not going to be that easily fooled. The Sacred King summoned Luo Bin and Lin Xue to train the female martyr, so that she would be as close to the princess who had escaped to earth! The wedding went well, and Sacred King received the military support from his ally. But the war still did not abate! In order to prevent the stand-in princess’ ident.i.ty from being exposed, Luo Bin and Lin Xue had to remain there. For the sake of the real princess’ safety, Luo Xun could not talk about it! So, they left without a goodbye and kept everything a secret. At the end of the day, it was all for the bigger picture, to protect the princess!”
The Great priest’s explanation was very comprehensive, a lot of the details corroborated the truth, and put to rest all of the doubts that Luo Puti had.
“So, that’s what that happened.” Luo Puti’s brows knitted together. She did not speak for a long time, trying to take in everything she was just told.
If her parents had really abandoned her for no particular reason, Luo Puti would have been very mad and thrown a tantrum.
But because her parents had departed due to a long-standing hards.h.i.+p, Luo Puti’s heart finally found closure.
Now that the knots in her heart have been untangled and her obsession eradicated, she found the truth easier to accept.
“I want to see my parents as soon as possible!” Luo Puti said.
Now that she had accepted the truth, her biggest wish was to see the parents who had raised her for 19 years.
“We might need the Sacred King’s permission.” The Great priest answered.
“There’s no need for that! This is my command! I will bear the consequences for that! But if you disobey my orders, you will bear the consequences yourself!”
Luo Puti was resolute.
Let us not forget that Luo Puti was the Chief Inspector of Six Door Organization. Whenever she was serious, she was not to be underestimated.
“I wouldn’t dare disobey! I will go set up the portal!” The Great priest got to his feet and before he left, he added, “This gentleman here cannot come with.”
“Why not? He’s my man! He’s with me! Don’t you trust him?” Luo Puti questioned.
Despite the icy expression, she had officially admitted her relations.h.i.+p with Chen Xiaobei.
“It is not that I distrust this gentleman.” The Great priest explained. “But to protect any intruders from using this portal to get to earth and threaten the safety of the princess, the portal had been specially reinforced! Only those who had learnt the Sacred Duke Incantationand those with the Scared Duke’s bloodline can pa.s.s through!”
“Huh…” Luo Puti frowned.
“If that’s the case, then I won’t go.” Chen Xiaobei said. “It’s your home anyway. So, there’s nothing to be afraid of. I won’t be going with you. The expedition team is waiting for me to lead them out of the desert anyway!”
“Alright!” Luo Puti chewed on her lip thoughtfully. “Please tell my grandfather not to worry!”
“Alright, I’ll take care of that.” Chen Xiaobei smiled.
Luo Puti suddenly stepped forward and planted a gentle kiss on Chen Xiaobei’s forehead. She whispered, “Wait for me! I will reward you when I get back!”
She then turned away and left with the Great priest.
Chen Xiaobei stood stunned for a moment before he regained his composure. “Hey! How are you going to reward me? Is it going to be… Hehehe…?”
