Chapter 189 Xu Tianran's Actions
"Youyou, what exactly happened?" Looking at the miserable state of those immortal herbs, Su Yu seemed to have a vague idea that something bad had happened.
Could it be... the Snow Empress...?
"Never mind, I'll go check it out myself..."
They rushed to the location of the Yin-Yang Yin-Yang Eye, only to find the Snow Emperor calmly floating above the ice spring, looking nothing like that an accident had happened.
"You're back. Judging from your appearance, it seems you haven't finished dealing with things yet?" Xue Di slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Su Yu.
"Although it was a bit tricky, it's finally over. Um, there's something I'd like to ask you..."
Seeing Xue Di's calm demeanor, Su Yu felt it was best to ask her.
"If it's related to those gossipy guys outside, I think asking is pointless. For the time being, you should stay here and focus on your cultivation. Put everything else aside for now. I need to use this ice spring to recover my strength, and I should be able to emerge from seclusion in about a month."
The Snow Empress came to Su Yu's side and channeled some of her power back into his body to reinforce the previous seal. This restoration of power caused the Snow Empress's seal to loosen slightly, which forced her to leave Su Yu there and use the power of the ice spring to reinforce the seal.
"I understand. Once my current matters are resolved, I will return to the far north with you. My tasks will not stop at the Star Dou Great Forest. As their king, you should also pave the way for your people's future."
Su Yu nodded, went to the place where ice and fire met, immersed his body in it, and entered a state of cultivation.
At the same time, Su Xinyuan officially settled down in the Sun Moon Empire, and the situation of the Su family has stabilized. However, only two people know about Su Xinyuan's secret arrival in the Sun Moon Empire.
One is Luo Yu, and the other is Su Yu.
As Su Yu's strength increased, his and Luo Yu's memories and thoughts became completely interconnected, and the distance between them no longer prevented them from communicating.
Under Luo Yu's secret instructions, the safety of Su Xinyuan and Mu Hanyan was within a controllable range. Although they could not be completely protected, this was the only option for the time being.
Su Yu knew that this was the only way for now, since he couldn't reveal Luo Yu's true identity.
Sun and Moon Empire, Crown Prince's Palace.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Xu Tianran looked at the intelligence report in his hand and slowly asked, "How is the second test subject?"
Orange quickly replied, "The experimental progress of Number Two has made a new leap forward. Master Jing said that as long as they are given five more years, Number Two will definitely be able to be deployed to the battlefield within five years, and within ten years, Number Two will be able to achieve mass production and sweep across the three great empires."
"Oh? I see. Since the hall master has said so, he must be absolutely certain. It seems that your junior brother really has a different talent for soul tools. Ju Zi, you really are my lucky star." Xu Tianran looked at Ju Zi, who was still handling official business for him, and said with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, what are you saying? Your Highness gave me my life. It is my duty to share your burdens." Ju Zi's words were still so rigid, or rather, so monotonous.
"I understand. I'll leave the rest to you. I need to rest for a while. Except for a few essential matters, you don't need to report to me anymore. You may leave."
Xu Tianran watched Ju Zi's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh silently.
Looking at the messy data in his hand, Luo Yu frowned deeply. Things were not progressing as smoothly as he had hoped. The problem was neither with the materials nor with the soul guidance technology, but each set of data had a different degree of deviation. This deviation made him hesitant to attempt the next stage of testing.
"Where exactly did the problem lie? Logically, the deviations in the test data from the previous stages were all within a controllable range, so why are the data errors so large in these recent tests, even exceeding the specified range by several times?"
Looking at the jumbled, erratic data, Luo Yu fell into deep thought, trying to recall every step of the experiment.
He pondered repeatedly, scrutinizing every detail of the experiment in his mind. However, after repeated verification, he was ultimately disappointed to find that there were no errors in his experimental procedures.
What exactly is the problem?
Boom boom boom!
Just as Luo Yu was still pondering, there was a knock on his office door.
Luo Yu wondered, "Who would be knocking on my door at this hour?"
Just as Luo Yu was wondering who the person was, a clear voice came from outside the door.
"Is Luo Yu there?"
That's Orange's voice. What's she doing here?
"Sister Orange, please come in." Luo Yu put down the data in her hand, looked up at the door, and asked, "Is there any message from His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Ju Zi didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Luo Yu. When their eyes met, a strange look flashed in Ju Zi's eyes.
Seeing the signal from Ju Zi, Luo Yu slowly returned to his seat and said, "The current experiment has encountered some problems, and I need some help from Your Highness."
"Tell me the details, and I will relay them to His Highness the Crown Prince." Orange's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
"I need His Highness to gather Soul Masters with different Martial Souls to inject Soul Power into the second experimental subject. The Soul Masters' strengths must be consistent, but their Martial Souls must not be the same. In addition, I need more experimental materials. The quantity of these materials does not need to be too large, but all types of Soul Guidance Materials must be prepared." Luo Yu handed the list of materials to Ju Zi, and then returned to his seat.
"I will report the follow-up matters to the Crown Prince's residence myself. As for the matters at the academy, you can leave them to the hall master. In addition, I suggest increasing exchanges and learning with Shrek Academy, because this is related to the future development of our Sun Moon Empire. I will discuss the specifics of this matter with my teacher and let him make the decision. However, I have heard recently that His Highness the Crown Prince has not left the palace. Is he encountering some kind of trouble?"
…………
The ensuing small talk was about work and the research on Experiment No. 2, and Luo Yu only stopped after Ju Zi's eyes returned to normal.
"Sister Orange, tell me, is it because His Highness the Crown Prince has been acting strangely lately, and you're worried about me being implicated? If that's the case, then there's no need to worry. But I think Sister Orange isn't that oblivious. I think it's because His Highness has been getting too close to me, and that's caused a rift between us, right?"
Looking at Ju Zi sitting opposite him with her brows furrowed, Luo Yu helplessly rubbed his temples. He knew perfectly well what Ju Zi was worried about; he knew her all too well after spending these past few years together.
"You're right, but how did you guess that?" Orange tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear, her eyes slightly complicated.
"We've lived together for several years now, does Sister Orange still think I'm some kind of clueless kid who's faded into the background?" Luo Yu sighed helplessly as she looked into Orange's eyes, which held a mixture of light and shadow.
Ju Zi took out a report and placed it in front of Luo Yu. "Recently, His Highness the Crown Prince has been targeting those around him. Although he's delegated everything to me now, you know his methods. However, he's recently asked some questions about you. Would you like to hear them?"
Luo Yu picked up the documents, opened them, and started reading. "You've brought them all out, do you think I wouldn't listen?"
The document that caught my eye was a photo of Luo Yu, and the contents were as follows.
Name: Luo Yu.
Born in the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, he entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy at the age of fifteen, and later became Xuan Ziwen's student due to his exceptional talent...
Family background has been verified and no abnormalities have been found.
Identity and background verified, no abnormalities found.
Contact tracing has identified the individuals who have been in contact with the infected individuals; no abnormalities have been found so far.
…………
This series of intelligence made Luo Yu break out in a cold sweat. The information on it revealed almost everything about Luo Yu's life from childhood to adulthood.
Fortunately, he didn't give anything away, otherwise he would most likely have been captured and thrown into prison by now.
It was fortunate that I had done a perfect job of wrapping things up, which eliminated the risk of being exposed later.
Luo Yu returned the documents to Ju Zi and slowly said, "It's normal for Your Highness to be careful. After all, my appearance itself is suspicious, so I'm not surprised."
"But do you know what? I found all of this out myself. I was worried about you too..."
Before Ju Zi could finish speaking, Luo Yu was interrupted. Looking into Ju Zi's eyes, which held a mixture of light and shadow, he looked away the instant their eyes met. "Don't worry, Sister Ju Zi, I am who I am, and always have been..."
…………
After a moment of silence, Orange realized that the atmosphere of their conversation had become a little too submissive, but she still remembered the two words Luo Yu had emphasized: "Sister..."
"It's been a long time since we got together. Let's invite Keke and the others too..." Orange couldn't bring herself to say anything else.
"Keke is still studying at the academy, Zimu is studying at Mingde Hall and is now a formal student there. Wang Shaojie is still studying with Keke under Xuan Ziwen. Thinking back, the last time we met was more than two years ago." Luo Yu looked at Ju Zi's departing figure and recalled the memories as if they were precious treasures.
The light in the corridor slowly dissipated as the soul-guiding lamps went out one by one, leaving only a blurry figure that was indistinguishable between black and white. Watching Ju Zi leave, Luo Yu reached out and rubbed his temples.
Between her brows lay an unyielding sense of helplessness and complexity...
A series to be completed in one's lifetime.
I'm just resurrecting myself every day. Feel free to comment, and thank you for your cooperation.
