Huo Yushen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Last November, when your team was on a mission, you encountered the remnant species. Do you remember?"
Xia Chujian said hurriedly, "I remember, of course I remember. That was the first time I saw such a disgusting thing. I will never forget it in my life."
Huo Yushen: "...On that day, another incident occurred."
Xia Chujian perked up, as if listening to a story, and asked very professionally: "What's the matter? Does it have anything to do with me?"
Huo Yushen ignored her and continued, "That day, the eldest prince returned from outside the domain and brought back two delicious fruits."
As soon as Huo Yushen said "the eldest prince", Xia Chujian's pupils suddenly contracted.
She suddenly remembered the terrifying scene of tentacles fluttering in the sky that night, and also remembered that the eldest prince was indeed being hunted by the remnant!
Xia Chujian opened her mouth, but changed her tone as the words were on the verge of her lips. She asked in confusion, "Ah? Why would the eldest prince return from the outer domain? Isn't he in poor health and bedridden all year round? What is the outer domain? Does the Jia fruit grow there?"
If Xia Chujian hadn't been so deeply involved, Huo Yushen wouldn't have explained a single word.
But now there was nothing he could do, so he could only patiently say, "...The eldest prince is not in poor health; that's the royal family's explanation. The real reason is that he went out of the domain to pick delicious fruits."
"Outside the domain, you can imagine it as another world, completely different from our world."
Xia Chujian: "...Can you imagine it as another planet?"
What the hell is that other world? It’s too fantastical. Xia Chujian feels that it’s not realistic at all, let alone unimaginable.
Huo Yushen didn't care. "You can think so. Anyway, it's in a very far place, and Jiaguo grows there. There are many monsters there that are similar to the Yizhong, Nyapula, Darah, and Bunis. If we humans go there to get Jiaguo, we will have to compete with those monsters in a battle of wits and courage."
"That eldest prince is truly remarkable..." Xia Chujian felt a slight liking for the eldest prince whom she had only met once. "But if it's so dangerous, why don't others go? The eldest prince is the first in line to the throne! By the way, is he a genetically evolved being? Is his mental power level very high?"
Xia Chujian had a series of questions popping up in her mind. It was because she was too far away from that class and her knowledge was only at the level of gossip on the Star Internet.
Huo Yushen was tired. He didn't like to talk, but this Xia Chujian was a chatterbox...
But there is no way. I have to explain to the people I hired myself no matter how tired I am.
He said coldly, "The eldest prince is a genetically evolved being, and his spiritual power level is high, but not the highest. He needs to go there in person because only members of the royal family can go there."
Xia Chujian said "Oh", indicating that he understood, and showed a relieved expression.
She felt relieved.
That place is so dangerous, but only the royal family can go there. How great!
Huo Yushen saw that she actually showed a hint of joy. For a moment, he didn't understand what she was so happy about. He just continued, "That day, he took back the Jiaguo, but he didn't expect that when he was leaving, the other party actually chased him. The eldest prince didn't escape and was unfortunately killed by that thing."
Xia Chujian had actually witnessed how the eldest prince died, but in front of Huo Yushen, she still covered her mouth and gasped: "...So this is how the eldest prince died!"
Huo Yushen knew that all this was different from what the royal family said to the outside world, but fortunately this girl was stubborn and believed whatever he said, which saved him a lot of effort.
Huo Yushen continued, "We went to rescue him, but we were still a step too late. When we arrived, the eldest prince was already dead, and the two Jiaguo he brought with him disappeared at that time. We believe that they must have been left somewhere on Guiyuan Star during the battle with the remnant species."
The more Xia Chujian listened, the more questions she had. She couldn't help but ask, "How did you know the eldest prince brought two Jiaguo? Wasn't he already dead when you arrived?"
Huo Yushen said calmly, "Before he came back, he spoke to His Majesty the Emperor and told him that he was lucky this time and got two delicious fruits..."
Xia Chujian seemed to suddenly understand: "So, it is His Majesty the Emperor who is looking for these two Jiaguo?!"
Huo Yushen: "..."
Now he was a little smarter.
He said calmly, "Of course His Majesty the Emperor is looking for these two Jiaguo. They are things that only the royal family can use. But His Majesty the Emperor didn't ask Quan Yuxun to look for the Jiaguo."
"...So who is Quan Yuxun looking for this for?" Xia Chujian pondered, "Or does Quan Yuxun want this thing himself?"
Huo Yushen said: "He must be looking for someone else. As for who those others are, they must be those in the royal family."
In other words, apart from the emperor, any other member of the royal family is possible.
Xia Chujian became even more nervous. "What should we do then? Who did the Emperor ask to find Jiaguo? The Special Security Bureau? Inspector Huo?"
Huo Yushen shook his head in denial: "His Majesty the Emperor has his own Imperial Guards who specialize in handling matters related to the Imperial Family. We, the Special Security Bureau, handle state affairs for His Majesty the Emperor."
Xia Chujian tutted his words, "The distinction is quite clear."
But in this way, she won’t become the target of public criticism!
Xia Chujian said hurriedly, "If Chief Quan tells others what I said, will they all ask me for the whereabouts of the other Jia Guo? But I really don't know! I just... I just... made up a story..."
Xia Chujian felt more and more guilty as he spoke.
"You lied." Huo Yushen slowly exposed her, "and you were unlucky. You made up a lie that sounded quite true."
