But I had a question in my mind. I didn’t know whether it was okay to ask him or not, but since I was going to do the mission, it was better to be clear headed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean, I have a question. Are you going to reveal my name again?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerome smiled and said, \"Yes, I told you before. I will release the news that you were sent outside for a mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it’s enough for the hidden spies to come out,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed internally. Then, I looked at him and decided to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’m ready.\" After saying that, I stood up from the seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome then looked at the Purple Mark Guard and said, \"Take him with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard nodded his head. He grabbed my shoulder, and we walked out of the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, we left the Dean’s place and arrived at the Star University entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have anything to pick up?\" the Purple Mark Guard asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I shook my head and said, \"Elder, I have everything in my storage ring. We can leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, we are going to the closest city next to Star City,\" the Purple Mark Guard said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After reaching there, you are on your own. I will not show my presence. I will protect you in secret,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes glinted with understanding. The next second, the Purple Mark Guard grabbed my shoulder again. Then, we left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We left Star University. I didn’t know when we would return. It didn’t take long for us to reach Star City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard was flying past everything; I could only see a blur. We left the city area within minutes. Now, we were heading towards the next city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder, what’s the next city called?\" I asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Red Ridge,\" the Purple Mark Guard uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Red Ridge,\" I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was familiar with most of the names, so I recognized Red Ridge as well. It was the city next to Star City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was actually located 50 miles away. I had never been to that city before; it was going to be my first visit. While we were moving in mid air, I started thinking about the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A helpless smile appeared on my face all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guessed I didn’t have to do anything. Dean Jerome would reveal my whereabouts, and then the spies would come after my life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would have to capture those at the Black and Silver Mark level. The Purple Mark Guard would take care of the Gold Mark and Purple Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We reached the city. He dropped me on the ground and disappeared from my sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to hide your identity. You are a Star University Warrior and a member of the Thunderflame Faction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The City Lord and his authorities are responsible for Star University Warriors’ safety. You can act boldly here,\" the Purple Guard’s voice reached my ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, my mouth twitched. At this time, I was convinced that I was being an open target, right? The special envoy? And the special mission tag? They were just extra words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I had agreed to the mission, there was no backing down. I told the Purple Mark Warrior that I would take care of myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was close to midnight. I should have been at my residence right now, but here I was in front of another city. I collected my thoughts and started walking towards the main gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The activity outside the gate was minimal. One or two people were standing here and there, and the city guards were standing in their positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were no queues in front of the gate. I guessed no one was going to enter the city apart from me. So, I arrived in front of the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two city guards were Black Mark Warriors. They were startled upon seeing me. I was a Silver Mark Warrior wearing the uniform of Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them recognized me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Guards looked at each other. Their gazes didn’t fail to notice the Thunderflame Faction Emblem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hearts set off storms. Everyone knew about the top ten Factions. Seeing that a guy from one of the top ten factions was here in front of them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were shocked to the core. They opened the gate immediately. They didn’t dare to ask for ID; they knew no one would dare to copy a Star University Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the person in front of them was real. I glanced at them before walking through the entrance. The few random people gathered outside were shocked as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they looked at the Star University uniform. They were curious about what a Star University Warrior was doing here in the middle of the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not a surprise for Star University Warriors to visit the cities under the university, but the timing was surprising to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I walked inside. My gaze started scanning the place. I had a feeling that the Purple Mark Guard was right above me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a deep breath before I started looking for a hotel. It didn’t take long for me to find a towering building glowing in bright light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came to the hotel and saw the name. It was called Trent Hotel. I didn’t know which warrior family owned it. I walked into the place and approached the hotel admin desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle aged man was seated at the desk, but he was sleeping. Seeing that, I raised my eyebrows. This hotel didn’t have guards at all? It was totally unprotected at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I coughed a few times to wake the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, the middle aged man’s sleep was disturbed. He was angry. He was about to have an outburst and lash out at the person disturbing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the Star University Uniform and the Thunderflame Faction badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of fear flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he deflated like a balloon and quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>",1060,"2026-06-05T15:57:19.580Z",1,"novelbin.me","3c771da8daaa4e1ecb97eb556049afd8360184d8cdd046426aba36c8c2e9fae6","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1201","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1349",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
