Chapter 1387: Chapter 1387: Battle of Thousand Peaks
Xu Zijing’s departure was very sudden. After the conversation between You Ming and the Red Robed High Priest ended, he disappeared without a trace in front of everyone.
By the time people thought of Xu Zijing again, they found that his presence was already missing from the entire City of Eternal Winter, along with the Red Robed High Priest of the Nether Clan.
Such an important task naturally could not be entrusted to just the three of them. It was only logical that Xu Zijing took her away with him.
The only thing that puzzled Su Chengyu was why Xu Zijing avoided saying goodbye to everyone.
Su Chengyu did not think that Xu Zijing had forgotten, nor was he too lazy to bother. Su Chengyu might do such a thing, but Xu Zijing definitely would not.
With Xu Zijing’s strange behavior, Su Chengyu could not help but suspect that he had other deeper intentions, such as avoiding certain people, though he could not decide whether it was You Ming, Mo Ningchen, or himself.
"Thank you to the three distinguished guests from Xia Country, the City of Eternal Winter has been dark for so long, it should have dawned already."
The auditor of Eternal Winter City, Blair, excitedly said to the three, Mo Ningcheng stepped forward and smooth-talked adeptly, obviously well-versed in such scenarios and feeling no discomfort.
After some deflection, Blair eventually gave up on trying to keep the three in the Eternal Winter City for a longer period, understanding that the three with obviously special identities from Xia Country could not stay anywhere in the Bei Luo Empire for too long.
Moreover, in Blair’s view, having the three stay in the City of Eternal Winter was absolutely not a good thing for the city.
The City of Eternal Winter, after such disasters, could not withstand any more trouble.
"Mr. Blair, there is something I personally want to ask you."
Just before leaving, Su Chengyu specifically sought out Blair alone to ask.
Blair turned around with a flattering face and said, "Please feel free to ask, as a benefactor of the Eternal Winter City, I will share everything I know."
"What is your relationship with His Royal Highness the Regent?"
The question made Blair’s face freeze, and he looked at Su Chengyu somewhat awkwardly and said, "You misunderstand sir, in Bei Luo, Blair isn’t a significant surname."
"So you have no relation?"
Blair cleverly deflected Su Chengyu’s question, but Su Chengyu was not about to let this man off the hook.
Blair’s expression flickered, facing Su Chengyu’s continuous questioning, knowing he could not escape the issue, Blair finally said, "I indeed belong to the same clan as His Royal Highness the Regent; Blair is the surname of our clan, but His Highness has already severed ties with our clan."
"Severed ties?"
Su Chengyu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Blair looked up at Su Chengyu and counter-questioned, "Sir, do you know about the previous Empress of our Bei Luo Empire?"
Su Chengyu nodded and said, "I don’t know much, but I have learned a bit, a uniquely charming woman."
Blair’s face bore a bitter smile, knowing that Su Chengyu had already been deliberately understated in describing everything.
In the history of the Bei Luo Empire, there were many charming Empresses, but only she was overthrown.
She not only kept men in the Bei Luo Castle but also played with young talents from the great families.
Of course, she would not touch those of the Great noble families of Bei Luo, but she utterly disregarded the Blair family, which was neither small nor big among the families of the Bei Luo Empire.
"So... His Royal Highness the Regent was born to the Empress and a member of the Blair family?"
"Such is the official status."
Blair said with a bitter smile, which was precisely where the problem lied.
Seeing this expression on the other’s face, Su Chengyu immediately understood.
Undoubtedly, during that period, the former queen of the Bei Luo Empire had relationships with more than one man, and it’s highly probable that His Royal Highness the Regent was not born to the Blair family. However, pressured by Her Majesty the Queen’s power, the Blair family had no choice but to acknowledge this fact.
What Su Chengyu could not understand was why, being the queen, she chose to affiliate someone who was not her own child with their family, and also...
"The Blair family did not gain importance from this, did they?"
If they had been given importance, it would be impossible for Blair to hold a position as an auditor, neither great nor minor, in the City of Eternal Winter.
Blair shook his head with a bitter smile, "At first, my clan believed that after this affair, Her Majesty the Queen would take extra care of our family, but nobody expected that afterwards, members of the Blair family were successively sent away from the capital city. Many even lost their nobility titles. Today, apart from me living in the City of Eternal Winter, there is no second person in the entire Bei Luo Empire from the Blair family who holds even the slightest power."
Su Chengyu was greatly surprised when hearing this, because this incident did not just occur during that queen’s reign.
Even after the current Bei Luo Regent ascended to power, the Blair family was still marginalized, and it was almost as if they were purged entirely.
Such actions might have been excusable for the former queen.
But why would the current Regent do this?
Su Chengyu’s mind spun rapidly, yet he could not find an answer.
"Sir, you may rest assured that I, residing in the City of Eternal Winter, am not loyal to the Bei Luo Royal Family."
"Oh? Then what exactly are you loyal to?"
Su Chengyu asked with great interest.
"The vast lands of Bei Luo and its countless subjects."
Moved by the nobility of these words, Su Chengyu was stunned, unable to believe that the person who spoke them used to be extremely obsequious when they first met.
But having confirmed the sincerity in the other’s eyes, Su Chengyu’s expression towards Blair became solemn.
Taking a deep breath, Su Chengyu spoke to the other, "Sir, your virtue is great."
Leaving the City of Eternal Winter late at night, this time the three of them made no attempts to conceal their aura.
Creating such chaos in the capital city, it was impossible for the Bam Alliance not to have noticed them.
Yet having killed an enforcer, the trio believed that the Bam Alliance would not easily make a move against them.
Bei Luo was, after all, extremely vast; even with thirteen enforcers assigned to various locations, it was simply impossible to fully monitor the entire territory of Bei Luo.
It is highly probable that there would not be a second enforcer near the City of Eternal Winter, and even if individuals like General Lays from the Bam Empire were to come in duos or trios, they still had the confidence to face them.
Without encountering any setbacks, the trio smoothly crossed the channel and arrived at the capital city of the Bei Luo Empire.
Looking at the city’s various types of hat-shaped buildings, Su Chengyu instantly understood why this city was named so.
However, more than the shapes of these buildings, what intrigued Su Chengyu was how these peculiar rooftops, scattered around, surprisingly formed an intricate Formation that completely enveloped the entire city.
