Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 689 - 699 Entrust

Chapter 689: Chapter 699 Entrust

Thinking about how the affairs of His Majesty had fallen into the hands of Thousand Miles, Lady Lin felt a chill run through her body.

Contained within the affairs of His Majesty were many advanced military designs. Thousand Miles specialized in intelligence gathering; if he sold this information to those princes and lords, the battlefield would likely see even more lives lost.

How could the affairs of His Majesty, hidden in Fahua Temple, have appeared in Famous Scholar Mountain?

Could it be that the affairs of His Majesty had been stolen many years ago?

At this moment, Lady Lin didn’t know what to do; she planned to first withdraw and then come up with a long-term plan.

But then she unexpectedly encountered Li Wenli and Bai Junjun, and what happened after was known to everyone.

After hearing the story, Bai Junjun had only one sentiment - that everyone in this world was the protagonist of their own life.

Looking at the tumultuous three years of Lady Lin’s life, if it were written into a book, it too would be led by a strong female character!

Compared to Bai Junjun’s fanciful thoughts, Li Wenli considered things more deeply; he suspected that the affairs of His Majesty had arrived at Famous Scholar Mountain along with the Underground Palace.

And by sheer coincidence, it had been thrown out and picked up by Eunuch Zou.

Given the sophistication of the mechanisms at Famous Scholar Mountain, they likely had found it long ago, and perhaps Eunuch Zou even presented it to someone higher up the chain.

Lost in these thoughts, Li Wenli was startled when Lady Lin spoke again.

"Now, I only have one request. I implore you both to help me retrieve our family’s secret technique, the affairs of His Majesty, to honor the memory of my deceased fellow disciple."

"???"

Memory of the deceased?

Bai Junjun looked at Lady Lin and hesitantly spoke, "It’s not absolutely certain. The Lame Man Uncle and others are resourceful and won’t let anything happen to them."

"Impossible." Lady Lin lifted her eyes in sorrow. "The battlefield is ruthless to the sword and spear. As you said, one has lost an arm, another is blind, and another has a lame leg. What good can such people be on the battlefield?

Moreover, given their character of sacrificing everything for righteousness, they would not rest in peace if they did not die for someone else in this lifetime."

"..." Bai Junjun and Li Wenli listened, finding themselves unable to refute her words.

They were indeed sibling disciples, with a deep understanding of each other.

Lady Lin didn’t need their consolation; after crying for a while, she hid her sorrow.

After some time, she collected herself and lifted her gaze. "I know this is a matter of the Mohists and shouldn’t involve you, but having seen your capabilities today, you are the only ones in the world who can help me."

"Uh... we’re not going to lie to you, our trip to the Imperial Capital was indeed at the behest of the three uncles, to help them retrieve the affairs of His Majesty and the tribulations of agriculture to hand over to a new successor. Considering you’re their disciple sister, handing over the Secret Scroll to you would also mean fulfilling our duty."

"What... what?" Lady Lin was stunned.

She had never expected their goals to align with hers; this was truly an unexpected joy!

"If that’s the case, then it’s wonderful; on behalf of my fellow disciples, I thank you both for your righteous assistance!"

With that, Lady Lin’s melancholic sorrow from losing her fellow disciple dissipated considerably, as she gratefully clutched Bai Junjun’s hand.

Then, suddenly remembering something, she earnestly asked, "Speaking of which, what exactly happened today? Why were you appearing and disappearing out of thin air in that place?

And why did the Heaven-reaching Tree explode on its own just a second after you asked me if I wanted to keep it?

I believe I’ve experienced enough oddities in this world; I don’t think all of this was a coincidence, so please don’t put me off and explain it clearly, whatever the superpower or gateway. I can accept it!"
