Chapter 1188

Tianze, standing aside, glanced unexpectedly at the two sitting on the sofa.

You see, his own father appeared very kind, but except for him, he never grew close to anyone; ordinary people could at most address him as "Elder Yuan."

It seemed his own father had acknowledged these two, and in his heart, their status was not low.

"Elder Yuan," Ning Chen said respectfully.

Elder Yuan looked very satisfied; he nodded, then spoke: "Our family, from past to present, has been a family of fortune-tellers, and also the auxiliaries of this world."

"Auxiliaries?" Xiao Han frowned; he had traveled to so many worlds but had never heard of such a title.

"Exactly, auxiliaries. In every world where an apocalypse is about to appear, there is such an auxiliary, and I am the auxiliary of this world; Tianze is my successor."

Elder Yuan narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something.

"When I was young, around ten years old, I once accidentally entered a place I shall temporarily call a time-space tunnel; there, I saw various worlds, and I also casually entered one of them."

"I stayed there for about two days before that world sent me back; after returning, I ran a high fever, and upon waking, I told my parents about it, but they said I was dreaming, that I had been feverish for those two days and never went out."

"Ahem, how could I possibly believe that was a dream? Not until I was twenty did my parents tell me the truth, and tell me that I was the next auxiliary."

Hearing this, Ning Chen truly believed the old man's words; after all, they were time-space travelers, and what the old man said was clearly correct.

"Then how do you know about our affairs?" Xiao Han frowned, clearly still somewhat suspicious of Elder Yuan.

Facing Xiao Han's unfriendly words, Elder Yuan did not get angry: "Because, you carry a scent that does not belong to this world; I cannot describe that scent, but I can smell it the moment I sniff."

"Then aren't you afraid we are here to cause trouble in this world?"

"Hahaha, I am old, not foolish. You are carrying the chosen one of this world's fortune, and you have protected him so well; moreover, you have come here. If I am not mistaken, you intend to help him."

Elder Yuan's guess was quite accurate; upon hearing this, Xiao Han fell silent.

But Ning Chen had a question: "Elder Yuan, if that is so, why did you not go directly to find the chosen one of fortune? With your abilities, you should be able to do so."

Elder Yuan took a sip of tea, a smile on the corner of his lips, but he did not reply.
