Chapter 2278: Chapter 2279: A Bet Must Be Honored (Second Update)
Yue Guannan smiled, then shook his head, "I’ve already untangled my heart, so why do I need to see him again?"
"But aren’t you...?"
"After more than a thousand years of waiting, I’ve already lived up to his protection of me back then. As for feelings... let them drift away with the wind, because he can never love me!"
Saying this, Yue Guannan turned to look at the sky outside and said calmly, "Now that you have been appointed as the Commander-in-Chief by him, it’s time for me to leave this place and explore the outside world!"
Xue An wanted to say something to comfort him, but his mouth moved and ultimately, he said nothing, just sighed softly.
This might already be the best ending.
At this moment, Yue Guannan’s face lit up with a brilliant smile, and he said to Xue An, "But before I go, there’s one more thing I need to tell you!"
"What is it?"
"Haven’t you ever thought about the identity of Yue Qinghuan?"
Xue An was taken aback.
To be honest, he indeed had thought about it, because if it was as Yue Shifang said, whenever he soldier solution reincarnated, he usually attached himself to a natural treasure.
Then the question arises, what’s up with Yue Qinghuan?
As if seeing Xue An’s confusion, Yue Guannan chuckled, a sly look appearing on his face.
"Haven’t you ever thought that her purple eyes and keen insight into the goodness and evil of the human heart made her seem a bit unlike... the Human Clan?"
With these words, Xue An’s heart shook, and he blurted out, "Are you saying she’s not of the Human Clan?"
"Not exactly. Back then, when Yue Shifang soldier solution reincarnated, he used a stone brought from an unknowably distant place."
"This stone was crystal-clear throughout and emitted extremely powerful Spiritual Energy. People back then believed it was a naturally formed Spirit Stone, just right for Yue Shifang to use for soldier solution reincarnation. But no one ever thought that after his success, not only was he reborn, but there was also a baby girl, as delicate as jade!"
"As for whether this baby girl was naturally born from the Spirit Stone or for some other reason, it is unknown. But this baby girl is a genuine member of the Human Clan, except... for those purple eyes and her terrifying insight into the human heart!"
Xue An fell into deep thought.
A Spirit Stone obtained from an unknowably distant place... a baby girl resulting from the soldier solution reincarnation...
How do these things seem to hint at something eerie?
Just as Xue An was racking his brain trying to understand, Yue Guannan laughed and said, "I have no other intention in telling you this, just to clear your doubts. After all, Qing Huan is a good girl, don’t wrong her!"
With that, without waiting for Xue An to respond, Yue Guannan turned around and stomped down.
Boom!
A massive fissure split the mountain beneath his feet, and Yue Guannan took this power and soared into the sky, transforming into a beam of golden light that disappeared in an instant.
Xue An watched her disappearing figure, gave a wry smile, then turned around and left with the Fine Gold mask.
At this moment, in the training ground outside the forbidden area, Yue Qinghuan was waiting anxiously.
Since Xue An left, there had been no news for more than a day, how could she not be extremely anxious?
Although Yue Guannan shouldn’t be so brutal as to harm Xue An.
Yet Yue Qinghuan’s heart was still in her throat, and her eyes were almost looking through everything.
Compared to her anxiety, this group of elite soldiers from the Yue Clan was much calmer.
At this moment, all the elite squads had gathered here, whispering as they looked at the forbidden area.
"Heh, newborn calves are truly unafraid of tigers. With just Immortal Honor Cultivation, he dares to find the God of War and wants to subdue him, what utter nonsense!" said another squad leader.
In reality, the Yue Clan’s elite soldiers consisted of dozens of squads, and the first one Xue An encountered was just one of them.
"I think the guy is probably finished already. Guan Nan is not one to have a good temper. If you anger him, he doesn’t care who you are!" said another squad leader.
Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.
Some even mocked, "I really can’t understand, you are elite under Guan Nan, how could you be embarrassed by a mere Immortal Venerable?"
The first squad leader heard this, blushing, and awkwardly lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
"Enough, he holds the Commander’s Seal. If he really wants trouble, none of us can resist!" someone defended him.
"He’s been in there for more than a day, probably already cold by now, there’s no need for us to waste time here! Let’s disperse, I have things to do back home," someone suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement, ready to disperse.
But at this moment, the entire training ground and even the entire planet began to tremble violently.
"What’s going on?"
Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.
It was then that a golden light shot up from the depths of the forbidden area, piercing through the sky and disappearing.
"That aura... it’s Guan Nan!" someone exclaimed.
"What’s going on? Why did Guan Nan suddenly leave?"
"Yeah! What’s happening here?"
Just as the audience was in an uproar, someone with sharp eyes pointed towards the depths of the forbidden area, trembling as they spoke, "Look, he’s coming out!"
Everyone looked up.
Sure enough.
Xue An strolled out leisurely from the depths of the forbidden area.
Everyone’s faces changed.
Yue Qinghuan, however, was overjoyed and immediately ran to him.
"I knew you’d be alright... What is this...?"
When she got closer, Yue Qinghuan immediately saw the Fine Gold mask in Xue An’s hand and was stunned on the spot.
Xue An smiled faintly, "Mission accomplished!"
With that, Xue An walked up to the stunned elite soldiers, dropped the mask into the dust, and said lightly, "Do you recognize this item?"
Of course!
Who here wouldn’t recognize this mask?
But the key question is, how did it end up in Xue An’s hand?
Could it be... he really subdued Guan Nan?
This thought made all the elite soldiers’ faces go pale.
Meanwhile, Xue An’s gaze swept over each of their faces, finally stopping on the first squad leader, with a half-smile.
"What you asked me to do, I’ve done. Yue Guannan has conceded and left, so... from now on, I am your master!"
Those words were like a thunderbolt, shocking the elite soldiers and making their hair stand on end.
"No! This can’t be! How could Guan Nan lose to you!"
"Yes, it’s impossible!"
The crowd became noisy.
But before they finished speaking, Xue An gave a slight cold hum, "What? Trying to go back on your word?"
These words unleashed a tremendous aura enveloping the entire field, forcing everyone to kneel.
