BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136: Friends and Allies Deserting
Even in the endless sea of stars, these two could still be regarded as powerhouses. The fact that something happened to both of them on the same day made people’s imaginations run wild.
Ms. Lu Qi, who came from the Sixth Region, immediately issued an order to search for the whereabouts of Feng Zhuotang’s orphan, Feng Lun.
In contrast, Lu Yiming, a native of Heavenly Enterprise Star, didn’t express any views on Gu Nan’s disappearance.
In the Lu family residence, Lu Xinyu walked out of Lu Yiming’s room with a frustrated expression. She had just asked her grandpa for a lot of manpower to search for Gu Nan, but Lu Yiming refused.
This ruler of the Lu family didn’t even give a reasonable explanation. He merely told Lu Xinyu to calm down.
“Sister, calm down,” Lu Zhanyu also advised her of the same thing. “With someone like Gu Nan, as long as his corpse isn’t confirmed yet, then there’s nothing to worry about.”
……
The people from White Mist also heard the news of Gu Nan’s disappearance, and they even received more detailed information.
“The Bloodline Alliance attacked.” Elder Qin had a dark expression. “Lord Yue Qianleng personally participated in the battle. Feng Zhuotang had zero chance of survival. Gu Nan…”
“Perhaps he escaped after sustaining a serious injury.” Li Leyou said, “If he died at the hands of Lord Yue, there would’ve been a corpse.”
Wei Rou sneered from the side. “The question now is not whether Gu Nan died, but why Lord Yue wants to deal with him.”
As soon as this sentence came out, Li Leyou suddenly fell silent, and even Elder Qin’s expression looked a little ugly.
Because Wei Rou’s words hit the nail on the head. They came all the way here to find someone who can support the organization, not someone who invites constant trouble.
What’s more, Gu Nan’s troubles may also involve the Bloodline Alliance, so they couldn’t be careless.
“I’ve already sent news back to the organization. The two commanders will make the decision.” Elder Qin said, “First, let’s investigate exactly why Lord Yue intervened.”
In all honesty, Elder Qin still held onto a sliver of hope that Yue Qianleng’s actions were merely from personal grudges.
He had witnessed Gu Nan’s power and knew that once the latter entered the organization, he would be second only to the two commanders.
And wouldn’t such a powerful figure need to have a few confidants in the organization? As the one who first made contact with Gu Nan, Elder Qin had long been aiming for that position.
But now…
At that moment, a crystal on Elder Qin suddenly lit up and jumped into the air, followed by a projection of a figure.
This figure wore a mask. She had a slightly slender figure and a female style silver sword at her waist.
“I greet the Second Commander,” Elder Qin and the other two spoke at the same time.
The projection nodded gently, then said in a cool female voice, “Stop all cooperation with Gu Nan immediately and return to the organization.”
Hearing these words, Elder Qin frowned slightly, while Wei Rou was jubilant.
“Second Commander…” Elder Qin tried to speak, but before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted.
“A truly powerful figure in the Bloodline Alliance intervened this time.” Second Commander said quickly, “This matter is beyond our control. Return immediately.”
After saying that, the projection dissipated without giving Elder Qin time to ask further questions.
But it was also true that he had nothing to ask now and just muttered, “A truly powerful figure…”
After a while, Elder Qin sighed softly. “Wei Rou, contact San Wei and ask her to bring the person here immediately. We’ll only wait for them for one hour.”
……
Inside Gu Nan’s residence, Lin Yunyun was sitting in front of San Wei with a hesitant look on her face while San Wei was still trying to persuade her.
“Yunyun, he hasn’t shown himself for several days. Nobody even knows whether he’s dead or alive right now,” San Wei said thus, “Come with me. Let’s go to White Mist. That’s where us bloodline users should go.”
Lin Yunyun just kept her head down silently. She knew that San Wei was speaking the truth. If she wanted to grow more, then only an organization of bloodline users would do, but…
“Are you perhaps thinking that because Gu Nan helped awaken your bloodline, you can’t be ungrateful and desert him?” San Wei saw through her thoughts and sneered.
Lin Yunyun hesitated, then gave a small nod.
“Stupid!” San Wei said disdainfully, “What can you do for him by staying here? If there’s an enemy that not even he can handle, then you’d just drag him down if you stayed.”
After a pause, she added, “Only in White Mist will you be able to make good use of your strength and find an opportunity to avenge Gu Nan in the future!”
But not even San Wei herself believed those words. The attacker was Yue Qianleng. No matter how talented Lin Yunyun was, how long would it take her to reach Yue Qianleng’s level? Moreover, will she even remember Gu Nan at that time?
The reason San Wei was trying all kinds of methods to persuade Lin Yunyun to leave with her was because she wanted a helper for herself.
With Lin Yunyun’s personality, she wouldn’t be able to rely on anyone other than San Wei when they reached White Mist, which meant that San Wei’s strength had doubled. Many matters would be easier to handle.
Lin Yunyun fell into contemplation again. This time, the conflicted look on her face grew deeper and deeper, while San Wei’s communication device just happened to light up at this time.
Her face changed slightly. “The people from White Mist will leave Heavenly Enterprise Star soon. We’ll be too late if we wait any longer… Have you given it enough thought yet?”
Forced to quickly make a choice, Lin Yunyun finally gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I’ll go with you!”
……
Moments later, two figures quickly left Gu Nan’s residence, as if afraid that a certain someone would suddenly return.
In a location out of their sight, a shadow stopped on the sofa in the room, turning back into Gu Nan’s figure. Through the window, he silently watched them leave.
A faint smile flashed across his face and soon disappeared. He casually lifted the sofa up, revealing a small door on the ground.
After opening the door, Lan Si’s face suddenly appeared.
“Looks like you’re heavily injured.” Lan Si sneered at Gu Nan. “How does it feel to be deserted by friends and allies alike? People like you who only chase after schemes and power will never receive sincere treatment from others!”
Gu Nan smiled. “You’re talking about the rules governing human interaction. Those aren’t applicable to me.”
Lan Si couldn’t help being slightly taken aback. Before she could process Gu Nan’s words, she saw him take out a round blue stone and place it in front of her.
It was precisely the goal of her and her brother’s visit. They wanted to seize the Serene Water Godstone for their Mother Goddess.
At this moment, two of the three gaps in the stone had already been filled, and the last fragment… ‘Is on me!’
Lan Si suddenly felt cold sweat break out on her back. She didn’t know what Gu Nan was planning, but it couldn’t be anything good.
“Are you ready? My very first apostle in this world.” Gu Nan stretched out his hand and patted her face. At the same time, the power of shadows poured out crazily, suppressing all of Lan Si’s divine power.
Under Lan Si’s fearful gaze, the Godstone was getting closer and closer to her, and the fragment in her body was also beginning to stir.
