Chapter 231: Chapter 92: King Jing’s Group Friends (2 more updates at noon, ask for monthly tickets~)

This is where An Jing differs from You Ruhui.

Although An Jing felt that he would not really stick with the Red Armored Guards to the end, he guessed that he would escape halfway through.

But what he wanted, plainly speaking, was just to escape the watchful eyes of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect and True Demon Sect.

Even though being exposed carried risks, these risks were nothing compared to You Ruhui’s; to An Jing, they were merely trivial inconveniences.

Even if we take a giant step back and assume that Da Chen really wanted to bind him, who could do it without Divine Repository making a move?

"Yes, you’re not like me, with such a sensitive identity..."

After listening to An Jing, You Ruhui, in addition to being stunned, also felt reassured, "If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to worry about."

"Don’t worry."

And An Jing had already planned his next move, "Next, I will stay in Kanming City for a while longer to cope with any issues that might arise from my recent enlightenment."

"Once the attention subsides somewhat, I will take you and Granny Huai out of Kanming City. By then, I will assist you in finding a sufficiently hidden location on an Earth Vein, where you and Granny Huai can live in seclusion for a time."

"When the time comes, whether Granny passes away or the person meant to meet with you arrives... you’ll be free to act on your own. Anyway, we can stay in touch with each other, and if it comes to it, you can also come find me."

"No need."

You Ruhui, while knowing the kind intention behind An Jing’s words, also understood very well that being with him, given her own identity, would disadvantage An Jing — in essence, he was still a good son of Da Chen, a defector of the Demon Sect. His enemies were only overtly the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect. In today’s world, where the Demon Sect has been cleansed by Da Chen, it was quite convenient for him to act.

"The person coming for me should be True Master Mysterious Mirror, Mingguang Dust of the Six Yang Mystic Mirror," she said.

You Ruhui looked out the window and spoke softly, "After some time, when things have settled down, I will leave Kanming City and then try to leave a secret message, waiting for that True Person to take me away."

"However, it seems that he has already left Kanming City... To ensure safety, he doesn’t really have a reliable way to find me."

At this point, An Jing became a bit curious, "Is this True Person escorting you someone your parents found for you?"

"Yes." You Ruhui replied softly, "When I escaped the palace, my father told me to go to the Northern Border."

"Whether it’s Hanhai or Western Mountain, it doesn’t matter. There, someone will come for me — someone absolutely trustworthy. My father said, he trusts this person even more than himself."

"But..."

As she said this, You Ruhui showed a particularly strange expression, one that could be seen even through her veil, a look of confusion, "He said he was not certain who exactly that person would be."

"He also didn’t know who would come... but whoever it was, it would be his friend!"

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, An Jing was truly stunned. He had never imagined such a scenario: "Your father doesn’t know who the person is, or even who will come, yet he still... trusts them?"

"Yes."

You Ruhui said helplessly, "My father was very confident and steadfast in his words, but I don’t understand at all — how could there be such confidants whom one can trust completely without even knowing who will arrive, who cannot be certain, but yet they trust each other completely?"

"I asked if the person was male or female, and my father didn’t know. But as long as they bring the token, they are his ally... It’s completely incomprehensible! How can there be such a group of friends?"

"Hmm..." An Jing pondered for a moment and realized that he might not be totally unable to understand this situation.

——To be fair, wasn’t that what online friends from his previous life were like?

They had never met, but had known each other for years and were still able to entrust faith in each other. If they had cooperated on certain matters across the distance, it could further attest to the weight of that trust.

However, similarly, even if mutual trust can be established, it is very difficult for both parties to know each other’s true gender—and even if they do know, and have even met offline, if a call for help is sent out to the group asking for assistance, nobody knows who will come or who will keep the appointment.

Members of the group can be trusted, but which members will come is something even King Jing cannot be sure of.

Uh. That being said, You Ruhui’s father, His Highness King Jing of Da Chen, may very well have entrusted his daughter, as well as a divine object like the Heaven and Earth Core, to...

A group member?

"It’s not completely unacceptable. Who knows if King Jing has some secret channel?"

An Jing also showed a meaningful expression. He had originally thought that King Jing might be harboring a great conspiracy, secretly planning to betray Da Chen, or fashion himself as a rebel king, intent on establishing his own empire.

In summary, a deep and cunning man, secretly in control of Da Chen’s core yet unexpectedly revealing his identity leading to his death.

Only then could one account for the current treatment of You Ruhui and the existence of the Dragon Jade Heart of Heaven and Earth.

But could a person who would entrust such a divine object to an online group member... really be such a character?

Perhaps the truth behind all this will only be known when the ’group member’, who is also True Master Mysterious Mirror, arrives to meet them.

Moreover, An Jing couldn’t help but feel like laughing when he thought about how the netizens knew more than You Ruhui.

But he was well-mannered, so An Jing held back.

You Ruhui did not ask An Jing what he had realized. She just stood by as a protector, preventing any crazy person with a sick head from attacking An Jing.

An Jing appreciated this sentiment—in any case, regardless of what kind of person King Jing was, his daughter You Ruhui was indeed a good person.

Dawn broke.

In the three days since An Jing and the others left for the Tianyuan Realm, a lot had changed in Ming City.

First, the aftermath of the Frost Calamity had gradually subsided.

While snow still fell, it was visibly getting lighter, signaling that this calamity had safely passed.

Within Ming City, the temperature remained above freezing, but outside the city, massive frost and snow had even sealed the rivers, leading to the strange sight of water inside the city forming lakes, with both ends frozen over.

Because Ming City was not ’flat’, the southern part of the city, located at the river’s end, experienced flooding as the blocked ice prevented the water from flowing, turning that district into a wetland.

Second was the departure of True Master Mysterious Mirror and Inspector Cao.

As True Persons of the Divine Repository, both naturally had their own duties and could not stay long in Ming City. After initiating the Earth Vein Great Formation for the first time, they activated it four more times in the following two days, stopping only when the Earth Vein of Ming City could no longer handle the strain.

Clearly, they had not found the presence of You Ruhui. Apart from frustration, Inspector Cao felt somewhat relieved.

After all, even as a respected member of the Divine Repository, he would be risking a lot by getting entangled in disputes involving the Imperial Court and Emperor’s Blood. One careless move could result in severe consequences, and actually getting involved might even lead to his death!

Therefore, his thought was either to catch You Ruhui quickly and send her straight back to Shenjing or to the Western Mountain capital, taking credit for the capture then immediately fleeing without any entanglements.

Or simply fail to catch her: he could bide his time in the Northern Border, let someone else take over, and since he was of the Divine Repository, at most he’d be idled for a while but no real harm would come to him.

Now, it seemed he had to choose the second option.

Though not the best outcome, at least he wouldn’t be dragged into the major affairs of the Imperial Court.

So, before he left, Inspector Cao, in a surprisingly good mood, even did a rare good deed.

He used his own resources as a True Person of the Divine Repository to arrange for a large supply of medicine and materials from the Prefecture Government.
