A few minutes later.
Gu Qing Shan arrived at the North Pole.
As he was about to control the airship to continue flying forward, a figure appeared in the middle of the snowstorm.
It was a black figure, covered by a thick cloak so his face couldn't be seen clearly.
At the same time, a voice resounded in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
"I am the Protector of the 9 Lords, this is our ancestral land"
"Who are you? What do you want here? "
This was a telepathic God's Chosen Skill.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the figure.
A power as deep as the sea erupted from the figure, turning into sharp killing intent.
Indeed, this is someone else's territory after all — – and also Su Cher's territory.
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan stopped the airship.
He came down from the airship, flew in front of the figure and spoke: "This humble one is Gu Qing Shan, I'm here to look for Su Cher"
"Why are you looking for her?"
"She's a friend of mine, I suddenly lost contact with her, the last news I heard of her was from the North Pole"
"Is that true?"
"Not a single lie"
The figure raised her hand and drew a card from the void of space.
She then tied a long strand of hair onto the card.
"Yesterday once again"
The figure muttered in a low voice.
The card instantly scattered into a dense cluster of light spots.
The sprites of light rotated in the air, turning into an illusory screen.
Gu Qing Shan and Su Cher's images appeared.
The two of them sat down to eat. A second later, Gu Qing Shan stroked Su Cher's head.
"So you really are Xue Er's friend, and here I thought you were another Combatant who wanted to pry into the 9 Lords' secrets"
The figure's killing intent dissipated, her tone also became a bit calmer.
"Where is she?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"You should go, she's currently receiving the 9 Lords' inheritance, it's not convenient for her to see you"
"Can I take a look?"
"Of course not, in fact, anyone who tried to pry into the 9 Lords' secrets is already dead"
"What if I insist?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
A sword appeared in his hand.
The Protector of the 9 Lords instinctively wanted to draw a card, but then retracted her hand.
She looked at Gu Qing Shan and recalled the scene she saw in the illusion.
This young man had a close relationship with Xue 'er.
He could even fly here …
The Protector of the 9 Lords paused for a bit, then changed her tone: "If that's the case, Su Cher will feel bad"
Gu Qing Shan was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"
"She's from the 9 Lords, and she's also the Lord of the 9 Lords, and her ancestors and clansmen are buried here, are you sure you want to make a move here? What do you think? "
Gu Qing Shan's momentum stagnated.
I don't care at all if I barge into the 9 Lords' ancestral grounds.
But Su Cher was the Lord of the 9 Lords, which meant that this was the burial ground of her ancestors.
If he acted like a little kid and insisted on making a scene in her ancestors' graveyard …
That's not good.
Gu Qing Shan retracted her aura completely.
"Looks like you're a sensible person."
The figure had a gentle smile on his face.
"Can I ask something? How is she right now? "Gu Qing Shan asked very seriously.
"She's doing very well! I've checked her fate several times, the shadow of death has already left her, she's currently spreading her wings and flying "
The figure spoke proudly: "Very soon, her power will be unimaginable to you"
Gu Qing Shan sensed the other party's power.
This level of power should be at the peak of this world.
A Combatant of this level wouldn't casually lie about something like this.
Gu Qing Shan tried asking: "You seem to care a lot about Xue Er?"
The figure replied: "Of course, this is my 9 Lords' ancestral grounds, who do you think I am to her?"
Gu Qing Shan facepalmed.
I'm so worried that I'm confused.
This is the 9 Lords' ancestral grounds, so the other party is obviously a Combatant who guards this place.
If I'm not careful, this person might even be related to Xue Er by blood.
The figure then asked: "But you — — who are you? What does this have to do with our Xue Er? "
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Why did the topic suddenly change so much?
I feel like I'm knocking on your door.
At this point, the Holo-Brain lit up.
[In the last 400 years of records, every Lord has successfully gone through the ceremony of inheritance] Impartial Goddess showed the results of her search.
If that's the case, Xue Er should be fine as well.
Gu Qing Shan calmed down.
If so many Lords have gone through the ceremony of inheritance and are still alive and well, then this inheritance shouldn't be too dangerous.
I'm the same, coming here without knowing what's going on.
— — -who would like a guy who comes to their family's ancestral grounds?
"I'm sorry, I'll leave Xue Er to you, I just remembered there's something urgent I need to take care of" saying so, Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist solemnly.
After bowing, Gu Qing Shan flew away without looking back.
From the looks of it, it felt like he was running away.
The figure silently watched him leave.
"Flight … this child's power is truly shocking …"
In this world, there are only three kinds of people who can fly without any external help.
5th stage Elementalist.
Martial Saint of martial arts.
God's Chosen who have reached the 5th stage of their God's Chosen Skill and will soon have their own Card or Scroll.
This is common knowledge recognized by the entire world.
Every Professionist, and even every normal person knows this very well.
The fact that he could fly so stably in the middle of a snowstorm at such a young age speaks volumes.
This was also the reason why the Protector of the 9 Lords didn't act right away.
"This youngster isn't bad, Xue Er will need someone like this to help her in the future" she muttered.
The Protector of the 9 Lords turned around and flew all the way to the foot of the mountain at the very top of the North Pole.
She stopped in front of a small house.
"Come out" she called out.
The 8 Lords came out one by one, nervously looking at the Protector.
"Su Cher is still undergoing her test, you don't need to wait for her, go first" the Protector told them.
"According to the rules, shouldn't we bring her back with us?" one of the Lords asked.
"She's by herself, how could she go back?" another Lord asked.
"You don't need to test me" the Protector smiled and said, "she's about to become extremely powerful, she'll be able to make it back to the North Pole by herself, she doesn't need you to lead the way"
Saying so, the Protector flew up the mountain without looking back.
"Did you hear that?" one of the Lords looked at the Protector's disappearing figure and asked.
"That's right, seems like that little girl chose strength, and the result isn't too bad either"
"This is really surprising."
The Lords went silent.
A new Combatant of this world is about to be born.
And this Combatant is one of the 9 Lords.
What should the other 8 Lords do now?
The Lords packed their things and thought about what to do next.
"A girl will eventually have to get married" one of the Lords muttered.
"According to my intel, she already has someone she likes" another Lord said.
"Which Lord's direct descendant is it?" another Lord asked curiously.
"He's not one of us"
The Lords all stopped what they were doing.
"No" one of them suddenly said, "the reins of a powerful force should be in our hands"
…
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly retreated.
But he felt relieved.
Since Su Cher is fine, there's no need to worry anymore.
She's a member of the 9 Lords, let her continue breaking through in the 9 Lords' ancestral grounds.
Not to mention, I've left a backup plan on the Blazing Angel ring, if there's any danger, it'll be able to help her.
Alright, there's nothing else to do for now.
Gu Qing Shan sighed tiredly.
She's been running around two worlds at a time, her mind has been stretched taut without a single moment of rest.
If only she could rest a bit …
Let's go have a drink first before we talk about anything else.
"Help me transfer Liao Xing and Ye Fei Li's locations"
[Rainbow bar's location has been transferred] Impartial Goddess answered.
Gu Qing Shan checked the location on the Holo-Brain, summoned an airship and flew towards the Federation capital.
The Freedom Federation.
The capital.
In a crowded bar.
Liao Xing took Ye Fei Li and sat down at a booth.
Liao Xing drank a large glass of liquor, then took a cigar and happily took a puff.
"It's so comfortable here" he happily said, "if I could make a wish, I'd be able to live like this every day"
"Your wish is pretty boring" Ye Fei Li commented.
"What about you? What wish do you have? "Liao Xing casually asked.
He put a glass of liquor in front of Ye Fei Li.
Ye Fei Li pushed her sunglasses up a bit, raised the glass and took a big gulp.
"Wish … I have a lot of wishes"
"Greedy brat, you can only say one"
"I want to find a girlfriend"
"You fucking need to be realistic"
"I want to live a normal life"
"Alright, let's talk, what kind of girlfriend do you want?"
"I don't have anything to say to you" Ye Fei Li angrily said.
At this point, a beautiful woman walked past them.
A fragrant breeze.
Both of them went silent.
Liao Xing lowered his voice and counted to three.
Ye Fei Li shook her head: "You old pervert, you only know how to talk, but you can't even do what you said"
"What did I say?"
"You said that as long as you hit on them, there would be a lot of girls throwing themselves at you, you even said that you would teach me how to get along with women"
"Ah? Is that so? Did I say that? "Liao Xing was a bit drunk, so he casually answered.
That's right, a fugitive who faked his death came to a bar with a Man Killer Fiend.
The fugitive wanted to show the Man Killer Fiend how to hit on them.
If it weren't for Impartial Goddess keeping an eye on them, they would've already caused trouble.
"You old bastard, you don't even remember what you said" Ye Fei Li angrily said again.
"I remember, how could I forget, I'll teach you right now" Liao Xing said.
He looked around, only to see that none of the girls in the bar were paying attention to him.
That's true, an old drunkard who's constantly pouring alcohol into his mouth, a shy young man wearing sunglasses under the dim light, not only does this combination look awkward, it's also a bit strange.
Everyone's here to have fun, who would be interested in such a strange person?
"Hey, pretty girl, do you want to get a drink together?"
Liao Xing greeted the girl sitting next to him.
The beauty glanced at him, rolled her eyes, and turned to the other side.
Failed to hit on him.
"So you only know how to brag, and here I thought you really knew how to get along with women" Ye Fei Li muttered in disappointment.
"Brag? When did I ever brag! "Liao Xing sat up straight and glared at her.
Ye Fei Li puffed out her chest, mimicking his manner and tone: "Hitting on people is a very simple art, I can talk to any girl"
Liao Xing: "That's right, it's a piece of cake"
"Why don't you beg them to talk to you?" Ye Fei Li mocked him.
"Brat, don't push me, as long as I use my true male charm — –"
As Liao Xing said that, his expression became serious.
He put the bottle down, turned on his Holo-Brain and contacted Impartial Goddess.
"Honorable Goddess, I have a question"
"Mr. Liao, please ask"
"What kind of equipment and materials do I need to purchase for my warp device miniaturization technology? How many Credits did Gu Qing Shan prepare for this? "
"The materials you need are as follows: Quantum accelerator, miniature power core …"
Impartial Goddess then replied to each of them.
Liao Xing silently listened until the end.
For some reason, his hand suddenly slipped and accidentally turned the Holo-Brain's volume to the max.
A voice came from the Holo-Brain: [… So your available balance is: 1,196 million Federation Credits]
The loud voice echoed throughout the bar.
There was a strange silence.
Everyone turned their heads in unison and sized up the two strange people.
"Ah, damn this Holo-Brain, it's always malfunctioning" Liao Xing loudly shouted.
He angrily slapped the Holo-Brain, shrugging at everyone: "Sorry for bothering you all"
He appeared very embarrassed.
Everyone turned their heads and returned to their normal state.
A second later.
"Hey, uncle, is there anyone here?"
A voice came from behind them. The two of them turned around to see a beautiful young girl.
The girl smiled brightly, tilting her head to Liao Xing.
Both her figure and face, she looked absolutely stunning.
"Have a seat, order whatever you want to drink, it's my treat" Liao Xing said.
The girl giggled, twisting her hips as she sat next to Liao Xing.
Another girl's voice came: "Uncle, I see there's still a seat here, can I sit for a bit?"
"Have a seat"
Not even a minute passed.
Another girl came, pulling a chair from the side and sat down: "Although the seats are full, we can still squeeze a bit"
"Alright, alright, everyone sit, it's fine, let's make friends and have some fun" Liao Xing said.
He winked at Ye Fei Li.
