Chapter 865: Chapter 552: Possibilities and Mist [2]
During the time she spent blending in with Lin Guang and others in Great Xia, it was probably the hardest she’s ever worked in her life.
To be honest, having the Holy Beast Blessing, three Dao Marks, and a level close to Tier Five, she wasn’t considered weak anywhere.
However, in the eyes of a Giant like Li Jiatu.
Breaking through the barrier of level sixty, or gathering True Intent and True Body, was merely the beginning of someone being able to claim they had an independent will and could adhere to their own principles.
Before that, it was just the whims of a child, uncounted.
"..."
At this moment, the atmosphere fell into a stalemate.
Lin Guang and a few others exchanged glances, already starting to communicate through thoughts.
— It’s very obvious.
Lately, Fusang has been thrown into turmoil due to successive beast tides, coupled with the lack of response from Heikawa Yue, Remyu’s adoptive father, leading her to want to return to her country, and was thus denied by Li Jiatu.
But is it really that simple?
Considering what Li Jiatu said, Heikawa Yue instructed Li Jiatu in advance, even emphasizing that Remyu is not allowed to return to Fusang?
Is it simply because the Outer Battlefield situation is severe, and with Blue Star’s turmoil, he’s being cautious, or did he actually know something unusual in advance?
Whatever the truth, this will only cause Remyu more worry.
At this moment, Li Jiatu’s eyes were already focused on Lin Guang.
The reason for calling them here might be because they are the only ones in this world capable of persuading Remyu, having her settle down.
Yet Remyu’s golden eyes also followed Li Jiatu’s gaze towards Lin Guang.
She also showed a look of pleading to the five of them.
If someone could help her convince this Giant, Li Jiatu... she could only think of the people in front of her.
"..."
Lin Guang’s gaze separated from the few girls, all revealing a look of making a decision.
Vishdair rolled his eyes, while the other girls showed a slight smile that said "as expected."
In the next moment, he smiled and spoke.
"This is somewhat veering off the topic."
"A mighty figure like Senior Heikawa, both in experience and strength, surpasses the vast majority of Seven-Star individuals in this world."
"In my view, he’s probably just gone too deep into the Outer Realm, so far that even his avatar has been retracted, making it difficult to send a message back."
"As for his personal safety... I believe he will be prudent."
"Therefore, the main point of the problem lies in the initial request."
He looked at Li Jiatu: "Senior Heikawa’s request was only to protect Remyu."
Then he looked at Remyu: "And you want to return to Fusang to see if you can help."
The red-haired girl nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.
"Very simple, there is a way to kill two birds with one stone."
He said calmly: "Then... we just go together."
Upon hearing this, Remyu’s eyes widened in delight, and she immediately cheered and hugged him tightly like an octopus.
Li Jiatu, however, slightly frowned.
"We will be responsible for protecting her, going there to take a look together. Under the guise of ’Tower of Babel Manufacturing,’ we will discuss matters of diplomacy between the two countries. If all goes smoothly, we will return quickly, and everything will be calm, with nothing happening."
"The air routes and trade between Great Xia and Fusang will be reestablished in some way. I will seize opportunities during this ’timely help’ process to gain benefits, strengthen myself, and strive for a win-win situation."
"For me, if there are abundant opportunities to gain benefits on a national scale, it is certainly a worthwhile endeavor."
Remyu, hugging Lin Guang, rubbed her smooth, delicate face against his, the halo swaying: "Yes, yes, how could I let Lin Guang suffer losses!"
Then Vishdair forcibly pulled her away, pushing her red head against her own majestic bosom: "You stupid Sakota, be quiet!!"
"Mmmm——"
Li Jiatu’s gaze focused on Lin Guang, becoming profoundly deep: "But... what if things don’t go smoothly and unexpected situations arise?"
"Fusang is, after all, another country. Even though it has maintained good relations with Great Xia since Heikawa Yue took charge, it doesn’t mean we will meddle too much. In fact, the majority of Great Xia’s population knows very little about Fusang."
Li Jiatu’s fingertips gently tapped the table: "Do you know what your current status represents? Without exaggeration, you are already tied to the livelihoods of billions, being a backbone and pillar of Great Xia."
"You cannot be moved lightly."
However, Lin Guang remained unmoved, slowly pointing out the most crucial fact.
"But this stance is completely different from the time I went to Great Yue, Principal."
He displayed a slightly sly smile: "Even when Master Fa and I killed four Six-Star Peaks, we never saw you with such an expression."
"Wasn’t I already a pillar and future giant of Great Xia at that time?"
"So, have you sensed something? Or does the Plague Division have some new information?"
The five girls were slightly taken aback, watching Lin Guang, who was already incredibly keen, begin to probe the seemingly blank-faced Li Jiatu step by step: "If you genuinely sense something about the future or have any news..."
"Then why not say it?"
"..."
Lin Guang’s words seemed to finally corner Li Jiatu, forcing a helpless smile, and he jokingly scolded him:
"I despise sharp kids like you the most."
The elder’s gaze swept over the perked ears of Remyu and the girls, shaking his head and slightly becoming serious.
"To be precise, it’s not sensing any crisis, but rather being unable to sense almost anything."
