Chapter 518 Deal: How about taking me to find your brother Lie?
"Who are you and why are you destroying the fortifications of my Ancient Universe Country?" Xing Yang frowned. This woman looked very similar to the person who destroyed the fortifications he had just seen. She suddenly appeared at this moment. It was not difficult to conclude that she was the one he had just met. There was no mistake.
"Misunderstanding!" After saying that, Hua Yang "whoosh" disappeared again. Everyone present was confused. Except for the person from the Rong family who was controlled by Hua Yang, everyone else had a solemn look on their faces.
Hua Yang originally wanted Rong Bin to explain for her, but she suddenly remembered that the relationship between the Rong and Xing families was strained because of the broken marriage.
If the Rong family spoke for him, it would be equivalent to putting him on the opposite side of the Xing family.
The timing is not right. I should wait until later and go find Xing Yang in person to talk things out.
After Hua Yang, who was defined as an enemy spy, disappeared, Xing Yang advocated reporting the matter to all the families and then mobilizing manpower to find this woman.
Because of Hua Yang's instructions, Rong Bin strongly agreed with Xing Yang's approach in order to distance himself from the Rong family.
Xing Yang was a little confused when he saw Rong Bin, who had always been against him, actually supported his idea for the first time.
This matter is quite strange.
Now the defense works of the Ancient Universe Kingdom have been destroyed by unknown persons. This matter must be reported to the ancestor immediately.
Xing Yang did not immediately go to the Xing family mansion to tell the head of the Xing family what happened today. Instead, he returned to the Xing family's ancestral land and knelt behind a man who was meditating on a grass cushion.
"Old Ancestor, what happened today is quite strange. I saw that woman destroying the fortifications with my own eyes, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Can you see what that man looks like?" The man who spoke looked like an ordinary tall adult man from behind, but his voice was a little too mature. He should be one of the older ancestors of the Xing family.
"She has a petite figure, bright eyes, and, oh, there's a mole near the corner of her eye."
"Can you tell what kind of psychic she is?"
"Water type. She can communicate with the energy crystal and take it out from inside. She must be a water type. It's just strange. This woman seems to be missing something... Ancestor, that feeling is exactly the same as when I first met you!"
"Same as me?" It seemed that it was the little girl. But why did she come to this mess in his Xing family?
"But he did something as vile as stealing energy crystals. His expression was particularly shifty."
"Ahem." Hearing this description, he really couldn't help laughing but tried his best to hold it back so as not to appear undignified in front of the younger generation.
"Can anyone else see the woman's appearance clearly?"
"I was the only one present when the incident happened, and the woman didn't expect me to suddenly appear. Others didn't see me."
"That'll do."
"What? Ancestor, this matter..."
"That woman should have no ill intentions. If she comes looking for you again, as long as it does not involve my Xing family, you should do your best to satisfy her in whatever she wants to do."
Xing Yang stood there in a daze for a long time without reacting. Shouldn't the ancestor take him to capture the woman and interrogate the mastermind behind the scene? It is impossible for someone who dares to steal so blatantly to save her alone. "But the ancestor..."
Why was the old ancestor so sure that the man had no ill intentions? Seeing that the old ancestor stopped talking and waved his hand to let him leave, Xing Yang did not dare to ask any more questions.
With a lot of questions in his mind, when he returned to his residence on the border between the ancient universe country and the original universe area, he felt a sudden dizziness and darkness. When he reappeared, he was no longer on the original land.
"Where is this?" He looked around with full vigilance. Surrounded by mountains and water, with abundant spiritual energy, a woman was holding a basket of fresh bamboo shoots and teasing three evolved creatures, one large and two small.
Iron-eating beast?
"This is a fucking iron-eating beast!"
"Why are you so surprised?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman who was teasing the iron-eating beast just now moved in front of him in an instant.
"From the Xing family?" Hua Yang asked knowingly, but now she couldn't think of a better opening line.
"Yes." Xing Yang's mind was in a mess. He was a methodical person, but facing the thief he had identified, he restrained his words and deeds for the first time because of the words of the Xing family ancestor.
"I've been to where you live. It's shabby and you're short of food and clothing. Why? Isn't the Xing family very powerful in the Ancient Universe? Why are you so poor?"
No matter how patient Xing Yang tried, he couldn't stand the disdainful look on the woman's face when she talked about the Xing family.
"Shut up! Who allowed you to insult my Xing family like this!"
"Isn't it? Look at the residences of the Rong family's guards. They may not be magnificent, but they were at least built by a nebula-level earth and gold-type psychic. But your residence was probably built by a high-level psychic, right?
The Xing family is so embarrassed to throw this person away?"
"Shut up!"
"Why are you looking at me so fiercely? I didn't say anything wrong! If the Xing family really likes you, how could they let you be bullied by your peers here?
Look at you, your strength is comparable to that of Rong Bin, but the entire guard team listens to him and excludes you. Don’t you think about why? "
The atmosphere between the two of them became increasingly tense. Xing Yang, who was extremely angry at the beginning, now lowered his head more and more, and even blushed.
Because Hua Yang had predicted all of this.
“The Xing family sent me here to train. They wanted me to start from the bottom and leave my own spies in the defense team.
But who knew that this place had already been the domain of the Rong family? I was suppressed as soon as I arrived, and I couldn't play any role at all.
I, I am ashamed of the trust that the ancestor placed in me!"
Originally a serious and upright man who took things seriously, tears appeared in his eyes after hearing Hua Yang's words.
Seeing this, Hua Yang's eyebrows twitched, "Men don't shed tears easily!"
"It's because of my lack of ability that the Rong family took the lead in this important defense. I..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"
Suddenly, a curtain of water fell from above Xing Yang's head, shocking him. For a moment, the depressing and weird atmosphere just now disappeared.
"Calm down first!"
Anyway, Xing Yang was like a drowned chicken at the moment. Hua Yang didn't know whether he was angry or not. She only saw him lick the water that had not dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly brightened from the dejection just now.
"No wonder! No wonder!"
He stood there and ignored Hua Yang, just muttering to himself stupidly. Hua Yang couldn't bear it any longer. How could a normal person be so angry at her?
"What do you mean no wonder? Can you be a little more normal? A mere member of the Rong family makes you so depressed. Are you still a member of the Xing family?
As far as I know, the Xing family is not as cowardly as you. Now that you can't gain an advantage, you should find a way to gain recognition in the guard team.
A lightning user, how come Rong Bin is just a healing user? A lightning user can't beat a healing user? Is that reasonable?"
"You! What do you know! In addition to being a healing psychic, Rong Bin is also an ice psychic. Everyone knows that the psychics of the guards of this fortification are all selected from the best families.
And everyone has felt the supernatural power related to the water system. Although our Xing family has the explosive damage of the thunder system, no one in the Xing family has the supernatural power of the water system. That's why the ancestor sent me here. Because we can't find out the situation inside the fortifications, our Xing family has never been able to do anything about it. "
Hua Yang listened for a long time without understanding, "How does the inability to detect the internal situation of the fortification have to do with whether you can stand firm in the guard team?"
"You don't know. The liquid of this fortification is obtained by absorbing and mutating the water energy in the universe. It looks weak and soft, but it can actually resist the huge damage of foreign attacks.
This defense structure draws water energy from the universe, and slowly forms water energy crystals inside. Its strength is closely related to the energy crystals inside it.
Every member of the guard team can obtain a water energy crystal from the inside every month to increase the strength of his or her superpowers, and there is a high chance that his or her superpowers will mutate in the process of improvement.
Rong Bin's ice-type ability is because the energy crystal mutated from the water-type."
Hua Yang suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. But I still don't understand, what is the connection between them?"
“Just listen to me.
The law of conservation of energy in the universe means that the fortifications can absorb energy from the universe and also return part of it to the universe through energy crystals.
Therefore, in this entire circle of fortifications surrounding the Ancient Universe Kingdom, there are always a few places where energy is scarce and defenses are weak.
The duty of our guard team is to sense these weak areas every day and input our own special abilities to replenish the energy within the fortifications.
Fortifications are related to the stability of the ancient universe, which is an extraordinary matter. I don't have water-related abilities, so I can't react naturally.
However, one time when I was on duty in the middle of the night, I saw several guards from the Rong family sneaking towards a certain defensive position, so I followed them.
Later, I found out that they actually violated the agreement of the major families and stole the energy crystals in large quantities. I followed them and finally found out that they had contact with the people led by the elders of the Rong family.
This happens several times every month, but unfortunately I don't have water abilities, so I can't sense the changes in the internal energy ring. Without evidence, no one would believe me even if I told them."
Hua Yang frowned, "What will happen if the energy crystals are insufficient?"
"If the deficiency is too great, it will not be able to defend against external attacks. If an outsider attacks, without this layer of defense, it will be a disaster for ordinary people."
"If the fortifications are ineffective, it will not benefit the major families, including the Rong family. Why bother? The Rong family has so few cultivation resources?"
“That’s what I can’t figure out.”
"Have you told anyone about this?"
Xing Yang hesitated. "I was afraid that people in the family would laugh at my incompetence. I didn't tell anyone else about this except the ancestor."
"No! The Rong family is colluding with the outside world. If the fortifications are useless, it will be the best thing for the Rong family!"
Hua Yang's words successfully made Xing Yang look unbelievable, "What did you say? The Rong family colluded with the outside world? Do you have any evidence?"
"Tsk, you don't have any evidence either! But the Rong family's ancestors know a little about the Rong family's affairs. But the matter here must be resolved as soon as possible. I'm worried about what the Rong family will do in the near future."
"I think you're overthinking it! If the Rong family wanted to betray the Ancient Universe, how could they let the adopted daughter of the Rong family head marry Brother Lie!"
“…”
Xing Lie is going to marry the adopted daughter of the head of the Rong family?
"Hey! What's wrong with you? My brother Lie was originally engaged to the Rong family, but the previous one died outside for some reason, so according to the engagement, he has to marry another daughter of the Rong family." Xing Yang looked at Hua Yang's dazed look and suddenly laughed.
"Oh, I see. You are not one of the women who admires my brother Lie, right?"
Hua Yang glared and kicked Xing Yang's calf, "Then you are wrong. Your brother Lie wanted me but couldn't get me, so he turned to marry Miss Rong."
"Bah! You really have the nerve to say that. How can my Big Brother Lie like you? Although you are indeed good-looking, who is my Big Brother Lie? There are so many women in the Ancient Universe Country, but I have never seen him being intimate with any of them!
However, Brother Lie really had no interest in Miss Rong. The mistress had been poisoned for more than a month, and the Rong family had initially sent a healing psychic to treat her, but she was not getting better.
Brother Lie took the antidote from the Land of Death, and originally thought that he would be cured. However, the antidote was taken away by the head of the Rong family and not returned, saying that he wanted to study the medicinal properties of the antidote.
The mistress had been poisoned for so long that her body had long been broken, and she relied on the Rong family's supernatural powers to stay alive every day.
The head of the Narong family finally told us not long ago that he had developed an antidote, but he couldn't give it to the Xing family easily."
Xing Yang's voice became more and more fierce as he spoke. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he wished he could beat the entire Rong family to death with one punch.
"So... the Rong family's request is that Xing Lie must marry the family's daughter before they will give him the antidote?"
"That's right. My elder brother Lie is such a proud man. If it weren't for the mistress, how could he have agreed to the Rong family? Alas..."
"I see."
Regardless of the reason, Hua Yang suddenly felt relieved after knowing the reason. If she had to marry him because of this, she felt that Xing Lie's responsible behavior made her look at him with new eyes.
However, Hua Yang has different ideas as to why the Rong family did this.
If the Rong family had rebelled, why would they still hold on to Xing Lie? Moreover, judging from their behavior of forcibly deducting the antidote, it is possible that the poison of Xing Lie's mother was done by the Rong family.
First, poison the mistress of the Xing family and force Xing Lie to marry the daughter of the Rong family. Use the mistress of the Xing family to restrain Xing Lie, but after Xing Lie's wedding, once the Rong family detoxifies his mother, how can they restrain Xing Lie?
Given Xing Lie's personality, he should have no influence on whether this wedding happens or not.
Thinking of this, Hua Yang suddenly had a very bad premonition.
If their purpose was to restrain Xing Lie, then the Rong family would definitely think of a better way to restrain Xing Lie before detoxifying his mother, that is, before the wedding.
The only way to completely restrain Xing Lie is to make him lose his fighting power. If Xing Lie loses his fighting power, the most threatening person to the Rong family will no longer exist.
To make Xing Lie lose his fighting power, one must either defeat him and cripple him, or poison him to limit his fighting power.
The former is too difficult. Xing Lie was so powerful when he was at the cosmic level, not to mention that he is now at the war god level.
The latter... is more difficult. But what if there is a premise, that there is an internal supporter from the Rong family in the Xing family? Just like Xing Lie's elder brother Xing Lan, and Xing Lan's mother. Or is it someone from the Xing family who stands on their side?
Xing Lie's fall was also a victory for Xing Lan's people in the struggle within the aristocratic family.
Xing Lan is hers now, so it seems she has to find an opportunity to send Xing Lan back to the Xing family mansion as soon as possible just in case.
"Xing Yang, how about we make a deal?"
"trade?"
"I will help you gain a say in the Guards and gain a place in their ranks. How about you take me to the Xing Family Mansion to find your elder brother Lie?"
