If it was anyone else in your shoes, I would have helped as well”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s asking the reason we came here from the outside world”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s because we lost a certain item in this place a few ten thousand years ago”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Xuan Ya had a doubtful look on her face, then quickly fell into thought, as if she recalled something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else had also settled down in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss had laid down on the sofa like a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After using [Shelter of Infinite Worlds] for so long, Laura was also tired so she was sitting on a rocking chair drinking a can of stamina drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ying Hao was standing next to a wall that hung a map of Calming Soul Country. He took out a cigarette, but then looked at the sleeping child and put it away in irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently thinking of something, Zhang Ying Hao abruptly asked: “Xuan Ya, if you’re already dead, would anyone come here to search your house?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being called so abruptly, Xuan Ya was stunned for a brief moment before she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She said that she’s only a normal civilian on the outside. Unless the king directly ordered it, she would not act, and no one knows about her true identity, so there shouldn’t be any issues”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, the four Pillar Gods would not investigate a nobody under the king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-especially one that was already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current top priority for the four Pillar Gods is to calm that monster down, then come up with a way to gloss this entire matter over with the populace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place still isn’t safe. After a bit of rest, we need to quickly move to another location” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ying Hao continued to study the map on the wall and replied: “Don’t worry, I’m looking for a suitable place.

Only you helped her”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he had said that Zhang Ying Hao abruptly clapped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone’s coming” he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura curiously asked: “How do you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They triggered the air that I rigged”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can even rig the air?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Gu Qing Shan, hurry up and make a decision, I’ve arranged a few things at the intersection to draw their attention, but it won’t be for very long”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan thought over for a split second and said: “That’s very strange, let us see what happens first”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of knocking could be heard from the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door was then lightly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two men in black armor swiftly went into the room without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Safe”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one here”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them looked around and whispered to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire room seemed normal, only a 3-year-old child was sleeping in his bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused them to lower their guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——-however, they didn’t know that Gu Qing Shan, Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li, Boss, and even Xuan Ya’s soul was standing in a corner, holding Laura’s umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were silently watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the men sighed: “How regretful, such a loyal and useful person fell into the enemy’s hand and was directly killed just like that”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is regretful. Her clan was already a ruined one, but now we need to remove all traces of her as well to prevent any trouble for his majesty”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, this unwanted child can’t be allowed to live”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do we do this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like always, you off him, I’ll set the fire”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were about to get to it as they finished talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But out of nowhere, they felt someone touching their shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they found themselves unable to move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A split second later, they felt a sharp pain before they fell unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laura put her umbrella away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan put his sword away and spoke to Xuan Ya apologetically: “I couldn’t kill them just now——- because that monster is very sensitive to death and souls, if someone died here, it would immediately notice”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ya nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She appeared completely drained, almost as if she lost her reason to live, but at the same time, she seemed like a burden had been lifted off her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the final bit of trust she had towards the king was now gone as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ya waved her hand towards Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She told you to come with her” Ye Fei Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan followed Xuan Ya in front of a bookshelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ya pointed at a certain book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan picked it off the shelf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ya said something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Page 653, the 9th line from the top, second sentence.
