Chapter 996 - Li Wan ‘Er!

“Oh?”Wang Baole’s expression was the same as ever. He listened to the words of the giant tree beside him, the smile still on his face. He swept his gaze across the crowd and nodded politely at the few cultivators who were bowing to him. He also saw the scene of the wedding, lin You, who was surrounded by a crowd in the distance, was looking at him.

Wang baole smiled slightly and nodded at Lin You. Lin You’s appearance didn’t seem to have changed much compared to before. After all, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, the traces of time on his body would become lighter. Other than his aura.., it wasn’t easy to judge his appearance.

He had been paying attention to Wang baole the entire time. When he noticed Wang Baole’s gaze, Lin You’s expression was solemn. He bowed deeply at Wang Baole across the crowd. As he stood up, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes. However, that hesitation quickly turned into decisiveness.., he walked towards Wang Baole.

Seeing that Lin you, whom he had just mentioned, was walking towards him, the giant tree didn’t seem to have any abnormalities on his face. His expression remained respectful. However, his words had changed to reporting on his work on Mars over the years. His voice wasn’t loud, lin You, who was walking towards them, could hear a little of it. As Lin you approached and laughed, the giant tree turned around and cupped his fists at Lin You with a smile.

“Fellow Daoist Gui, I’m not disturbing you, am I? Can you give me a moment of Baole’s time?”Lin You joked, his eyes filled with kindness.

“President Lin, you must be joking. I’ve already finished my report. I wouldn’t dare disturb you any further.”The giant tree’s expression remained the same. He smiled and cupped his fists again before taking his leave respectfully.

As he watched the giant tree leave, Lin you swept his gaze across the area casually. When he turned his head to look at Wang Baole, his expression was filled with emotion and regret. Even though he didn’t speak to Wang Baole immediately, his expression.., the words he was about to say were very clear.

He didn’t need to speak, but his expression was enough to let others understand. Wang Baole had only seen Duan Muque and Li Xingwen among the higher-ups of the federation regarding his past abilities.

Many years have passed in a flash... Lin you sighed softly. His expression turned solemn once again. He took a step back and bowed deeply to Wang Baole.

“Moon Star Sect’s in-name disciple, Lin You, greets Senior!”

Wang Baole raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Lin You, who was in front of him, and asked, “Senior, what do you mean?”.

...

“Moon Star Sect? When did such a sect appear in our federation? Fellow Daoist Lin, what do you mean by that?”

“Baole, stop teasing me.”Lin you smiled bitterly and cupped his fists once again.

“Baole, I don’t know if fellow Daoist Gui said anything to you, but in order to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings, I still have to explain myself.”

“Back then, I went missing in a ruin on earth. I returned many years later. As for what happened during my disappearance, although most of it was reported to the federation for the record, there are still some secrets that I haven’t revealed...”Lin You was silent for a moment, he spoke softly.

“The place where I went missing was called the Moon Star sect. This sect should be related to the ancient Earth. Therefore, I wasn’t the first, nor was I the last person to be sent there. After a series of inspections, I became an in-name disciple and was taught cultivation techniques... Finally, I was sent back with a mission.”

“What Mission?”Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.

“To record the evolution of Earth since the spirit inception era, and to participate in it. In the midst of the danger that would affect the life and death of the entire federation, to send someone whom I believe to be a seed into the ruins.”Lin You’s eyes were full of honesty, he didn’t hide anything.

“I don’t know what the Moon Star sect is up to, but I do know one thing. The federation is my hometown. That’s why I didn’t send anyone there after I returned. Instead, I took the initiative to report it. As a result, the number of missing people in the ruins has decreased over the years

“However... Baole, if there really is an irreversible life-and-death crisis in the federation, I might still carry out that mission in the end and try my best to leave a spark for the federation

“The reason why I’m telling you now is because I, Lin You, have no regrets!”With that, Lin you bowed deeply towards Wang Baole once again. He raised his head and didn’t avoid Wang Baole’s gaze, allowing him to see his honesty.

He stared at Lin You for a long time before Wang Baole nodded slowly. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and he suddenly asked, “Tell me about the Moon Star sect.”.

“Tell me about the Moon Star Sect.”

“I don’t know where the Moon Star sect is, nor do I know how powerful it is. However, I do know... that there should be at least hundreds of cultivators like you, Baole.”

“As for the stars... just by looking up from the Moon Star sect, I can see that there are dozens of stars in the sky! “At the same time, the Moon Star sect must have a deep connection to the ancient Earth. In fact, it’s possible that they were created by the ancients who migrated from Earth. In addition... I’ve seen quite a few laurel trees in the Moon Star sect, just like fellow Daoist gui...” Lin You’s heart palpitated as he spoke, as if he had just recalled something.

“Oh, right. In the Moon Star sect, everyone who has reached a certain level of status wears a mask... masks come in all shapes and sizes, and most of them are different.”

“A mask?”Wang Baole was taken aback and fell into deep thought. Lin you heaved a sigh of relief after he had finished speaking. He hadn’t lied. He didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings between Wang Baole and himself, and he didn’t want them to become enemies.

After all, this was his hometown, and everything about him was in the federation. Now that his son was getting married, his feelings for this place were even deeper. That was why when he had seen the giant tree talking to Wang Baole earlier, even though he didn’t know the details, he had a feeling that something was amiss, that was why he had made up his mind after some hesitation. He revealed all the secrets that had been hidden deep in his heart. He believed that with Wang Baole’s intelligence and experience, he would be able to tell if what he had said was true or false.

After he finished speaking, Lin you felt much more relaxed. He saw that Wang Baole was deep in thought, so he didn’t continue disturbing him. Instead, he cupped his fists and left.

There were many people who could sense that Wang Baole was deep in thought. After all, those who could attend the wedding were mostly the upper echelons of the federation. They could tell when to stop. Therefore, no one came to disturb Wang Baole’s thoughts for the rest of the time.

Just like that, after the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Wang Baole muttered to himself.

I seem to have overlooked something... Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. When he heard the word “Mask”and thought about it, the image of the masked woman in the fallen star lands appeared in his mind!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The image of the woman could not be erased. As his mind became more and more focused, he finally fixed his eyes on the beautiful woman’s mask. As he recalled, the gaze of the woman in the mask became clearer in his mind.

Finally, Wang Baole raised his right hand and took out the jade slip that could contact the blazing flame ancestor. After a moment of silence, he sent a voice transmission respectfully.

“Is master around? Do you have the complete list of people who have been promoted to planet-level from the fallen star lands to the Weiyang Dao Domain?”

Wang Baole knew that not everyone could see the list. Only those who were qualified enough to receive it in the Weiyang Dao domain would receive it. In the fallen star lands, he could only see himself. He couldn’t see everything, he hadn’t paid much attention to the matter at first, but now, with the masked woman’s figure and suspicions in his mind, Wang Baole decided to look through the entire list.

Soon, the blazing flame patriarch, who had received Wang Baole’s voice transmission, sent the list over. He also replied to Wang Baole.

“My good disciple, I’ve already arranged for someone to pick you up. When you’re done with your matters, I’ll wait for you in the Raging Flame Galaxy!”

“As per master’s orders!”Wang Baole replied respectfully. He immediately opened the complete list that the raging flame ancestor had sent him. After scanning it, his breathing quickened, and his pupils constricted. He stared at the name on the list!

Li Wan ‘Er, Moon Star sect!

Li Wan ‘er... is this a coincidence? Wang Baole’s mind was filled with disbelief as Li Wan ‘er’s figure and the masked woman overlapped, he sent a voice transmission to Lin Tianhao, who was toasting with Du Min. Then, he left the wedding venue in a hurry. He stepped out of the hall and disappeared instantly.

When he appeared, he was no longer on Mars. Instead, he was speeding through the starry skies. He landed on Earth in an instant and appeared... outside the Chairman’s residence!

Outside the residence, Wang Baole took a deep breath and stood there, cupping his fists and bowing.

“This junior, Wang Baole, seeks an audience with uncle Li!”

Although the senator’s cultivation had fallen to that of a mortal, his contributions to the federation, especially his status as Li Wan ‘Er’s father, made it necessary for Wang Baole to treat him as a junior!
