Chapter 67: Traitor

Traitor

"Yummengze day trip, go or not?" said the purple-haired woman in communication with Fu Guang, one hand propping her chin, her gorgeous nails catching the eye.

Fu Guang thought it over; she had nothing urgent lately, so she nodded and agreed.

"Yu Ran will also come." The crimson fingertip lightly tapped, Chan Yi looked toward the blonde-haired girl in the communication, purple eyes seeming to have smoke drifting through.

"This time the military will also support a few water-system Sentinels; take a good look, see if there's any you like." Chan Yi said indifferently.

"For same-system Sentinels, the boost landing on them is a bit better than on other-system Sentinels."

"Only a Sentinel who can exert their maximum value is a good Sentinel." Chan Yi said, her eyes showing no fluctuation.

Her gaze turned somewhat cold, looking at Fu Guang, not knowing what she was thinking, for a moment she was dazed.

Then, as if advising or pointing, she said: "It's merely an exchange of interests. The Guide gives to the Sentinel, maintaining sanity, the dignity of dying awake."

"Naturally, a Sentinel must exert their maximum value as repayment."

"Don't do anything foolish…" thinking that without the Sentinel you'd be helpless.

Chan Yi thought over the latter half but still didn't say it out loud; she suddenly lost interest in continuing the call with Fu Guang, simply said something, then hung up the communication.

Fu Guang turned her silver-white ring, her blue eyes flickering—was something wrong?

She opened her Light Brain, linked her mental power, and logged into the White Tower area.

A virtual figure appeared in the White Tower Hall; the streets were sparsely populated, she seemed to sense something and turned back—the large screen that usually displayed battle results was occupied by a figure.

A blonde-haired, green-eyed woman, with short cropped hair, dressed in a black military uniform.

Her expression was stern, brows slightly furrowed, she warily looked back, one hand pressing a knife at her waist, the sharp military blade at her side, as if about to strike any second.

As if suddenly called by a stranger's name, she was extremely wary.

Fu Guang heard the Light Brain notification: a friend had come online; beside her, a figure gradually condensed—a youth with green hair and green eyes, simulated by the Smart Brain.

Every detail was clear; he opened his eyes, as if suddenly imparting spirit to a doll, making it lively.

Qing Feng also looked toward the large screen ahead, his gaze somewhat deep; he raised his hand and touched Fu Guang's head.

Fu Guang felt a weight on her head; she turned her head to look at Qing Feng.

"Remember, at any time, your own life is most important." Qing Feng's voice was a bit lower than usual.

"She…" Fu Guang had just begun to speak.

Qing Feng shook his head, indicating he didn't want to say more. "Let's go, think about what to prepare."

"Yummengze is a water-element holy land; the water element there is abundant, so we need to prepare waterproof clothing."

"It's best not to bring fire-element, because due to the environment it won't be useful."

"Also need to prepare some agents that keep people calm; Yummengze is also called Seek Dream Marsh."

"Easy to dream?" Fu Guang moved her brows and said.

"Yes and no. Water refracts light, so Yummengze shows different scenes—some like real life, some very beautiful and fantastical, as if one is inside a person's dream."

Qing Feng patiently explained.

The brief words calmed his mood; he glanced back at the woman on the screen, then placed his hand on Fu Guang's shoulder.

His words were calm, yet like a thunderclap from flat ground: "That person is Chan Yi's disciple, and also a traitor of the White Tower."

Speaking of him, Qing Feng's breathing quickened, his emotions still fluctuating: "He was a child I watched grow up; not long ago he sacrificed himself resisting the alien species tide."

Fu Guang finally turned back to look once more; the stern woman on the screen, said to be Senior Chan Yi's disciple, yet possesses opposite traits to Senior Chan Yi.
