In the city lord's mansion of Linjing City,

Julian stood silently in the empty room.

The space inside was only covered by layers of gauze curtains, obscuring the figures of those sitting at the very back.

This is completely different from the magnificent and imposing city lord's mansion that you see from the outside. Only by standing inside can you feel the coldness and desolation here.

It's as if the other person has nothing left to care about.

"So? Based on the information you've gathered recently... have you figured out why the Zerg are doing this? Or have you found other clues?"

When the man who hadn't shown himself in the innermost room spoke, Julian couldn't help but purse his lips.

He remembered the surprise he felt when his father told him the true identity of the law enforcer.

What kind of terrible mistake must someone have made to be placed in this game world?

Even his own father didn't give a specific answer to his question, only offering him a piece of advice: "The other person is a homeless person. He didn't stay in the Federation out of genuine affection; he had ulterior motives."

However, after playing the game for so long, Julian didn't think the other person was that bad; at most, he felt that the other person had some of the other person's bad behavior.

Even though he knew all the stories in this game world, he was unwilling to reveal them. Instead, he guided himself to explore and discover them little by little.

When he has any needs, the other party will do their best to accommodate him.

For example, when he went to the far north, he found a legitimate reason to enter. Although they were later arrested due to his own improper actions, he still sent people to bail them out.

The law enforcement officer seemed really unpredictable to him.

"Yes. I investigated all the recent events. Although some of them seem unbelievable, I only had that idea on a whim. But when I found out that it was true, I still felt it was unbelievable."

Julian found it strange that his investigation had ultimately led him to the leader of the Bu Tian Sect!

A bizarre coincidence.

"The relic of Lianhua Temple... I heard that after the relic was lost, the abbot of Lianhua Temple even asked Xie Zhen to divine its whereabouts, but it has never been found."

The destruction of the Hundred Herbs Sect and the fact that Fairy Yuehua, the leader of Bibo Yaoshan, attacked the Butian Sect caused quite a stir. I'm sure you've heard about it. Xie Zhen once predicted for Yuehua's disciple that her true love would come from the Hundred Herbs Sect. As a result, the entire Hundred Herbs Sect was wiped out, and even birds and beasts were not spared.

Furthermore, the Sword Pool of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was destroyed. At the last Sword Appraisal Conference of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it is said that the Bu Tian Sect did not purchase any divine swords, but it was said that a unique weapon would appear at the next Sword Appraisal Conference of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. As a result, the Sword Pool was destroyed, and the countless swords that had been tempered were destroyed in an instant. Even the Sword Appraisal Conference was postponed...

There were also some aristocratic families and minor sects that were wiped out, many of whom Xie Zhen had either seen or predicted. They were all gone.

Julian explained in detail, and finally couldn't help but conclude that Xie Zhen's prediction was truly a case of bad luck.

This milk is incredibly toxic!

Want your fortune told?

The kind where the whole family dies.

"I don't understand why the Zerg are targeting Xie Zhen. Could it be that the ability to defeat the Zerg was also calculated?" Julian thought to himself, then added, "If that's the case, why not just find a way to kill them?"

"Pfft~"

Mo Wenshu, who had always been reluctant to show his true face to others, couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Julian's blunt statement. "If everything were that simple, do you think that Zerg are stupid idiots who would do so much?"

"Then why is Xie Zhen, the sect leader, being targeted?"

Julian couldn't understand it. Since Xie Zhen was being targeted, he must have some extraordinary abilities, just like this divination.

"You can go and ask."

"What?"

Julian couldn't help but look at the figure behind the gauze curtain, thinking that the other person had just been joking.

"Go ask him. Since you've already thought of the Zerg, why don't you just take action directly? Why don't you just ask Xie Zhen if he has offended anyone?"

Julian: ? ? ?

Is what you're saying really going to work?

...

"Are you sure? Is that even a question?"

After feeding the two cubs, Lu Xiaoyao didn't expect to go out again and have a late-night rendezvous with Julian.

When Lu Xiaoyao heard the news Julian had recently uncovered, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Oh my god! Is that true?"

After Julian finished speaking to Lu Xiaoyao, Lu Xiaoyao suddenly thought of the Seven Sea Anemones and Merita she had met that day, so she asked Julian if he had returned to the courtyard, and then took him to see the Seven Sea Anemones and Merita.

After meeting the two, Julian's investigation became even more certain, because Xie Zhen's information was found in both Nanami's and Merita's character memories.

"Our sect leader once said that he was saved by the sect leader of the Butian Sect when he was young, and he has always remembered it."

“Our ancestor also valued my cousin highly, saying that…someone had divined the future of the Jiu family, and that within three generations, a gifted genius would emerge from each family to lead them to new heights. My grandfather and father were of average talent, and our generation is all girls.”

My cousin is the only male heir, and he possesses a mutated celestial spiritual root that's one in ten thousand—isn't he the genius that fortune teller predicted?

After speaking, Merita shook her head and said, "And now..."

Finally, Julian suddenly looked at Lu Xiaoyao and said that since she was going to Butianmen this time, should he try to find out what Xie Zhen was thinking?

That's why the previous question arose.
