Chapter 210: Chapter 210
"Turns out you are a person from Dajin Country, no wonder you were in a hurry to leave. Cailian misunderstood you, Zhao Letian."
Just at that moment, Cailian suddenly sent a mental message to Zhao Letian.
She remembered clearly that initially at the market, Zhao Letian had used a sword to kill Mu Shan and others, but today, during the fight against the tribal allied forces, Zhao Letian had switched to using a spear, which had already confused her. Now, hearing what her brother Mu Lei said, she finally realized and even faintly guessed what Zhao Letian had gone through before.
If she wasn't mistaken, the whole sequence of events should be that Zhao Letian, on the battlefield, had encountered pursuers from Dajin Country and had no choice but to take a risk to enter Gray Wolf Kingdom. Later, by a twist of fate, he ended up in the Holy River, which ultimately carried him to the Baihua Tribe. As for his claim of memory loss, it was probably a benevolent lie crafted to conceal his identity.
But understanding all this did not tarnish the image of Zhao Letian in her heart; instead, it made her finally understand why Zhao Letian was so determined to leave abruptly.
"Cailian, I did what I had to do. I hope you can understand."
Zhao Letian transmitted his message, openly admitting it.
Previously, he hid his identity because he had just arrived and knew nothing about Cailian and the others. Now, he knew the character of Cailian and her father, and admitting it wouldn't hurt.
"I understand you. If I were in your shoes, suddenly entering a strange place, I definitely wouldn't be without my guards up either. You must have many unresolved matters back in Dajin Country. Keeping you here would be too selfish. Go ahead, I will wait for you here." The reference version of this chapter is on *.
Cailian transmitted her message.
"Sister, what's wrong with you two? Why the daze?"
Mu Lei, looking puzzled, asked as he saw Zhao Letian and Cailian standing silently.
"It's nothing. Your Brother Zhao is about to leave. Would you see him off for me?"
Cailian said with a faint smile, preparing to walk toward the tribe. Although she understood why Zhao Letian was eager to leave, she didn't want to experience the moment of farewell.
"Zilong, are you leaving so soon?"
Mu Lang frowned, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"Yes, I still have tasks to handle and must leave as soon as possible."
Zhao Letian nodded as he watched Cailian's fading figure.
"Great, I need to leave too. Brother Zhao, where are you headed? Maybe we can travel together."
Mu Lei spoke very cheerfully.
"Mu Lei, you've just come back, and now you want to leave again?"
Cailian paused mid-step, turned around, and her brows slightly furrowed.
"That's right, you cheeky brat, can't you stay in the tribe and help your father? This tribe will be your responsibility sooner or later."
Mu Lang also glanced at Mu Lei in annoyance.
"Father, sister, I want to go to the Royal Capital. I heard the Princess is recruiting a Prince Consort, and at the same time, Holy Spirit Academy is enrolling students. I want to give it a try."
Mu Lei scratched his head, smiling broadly.
"Go to the Royal Capital? Are you thinking of becoming a Prince Consort or planning to attend Holy Spirit Academy?"
Mu Lang was slightly stunned and then asked with a smile, knowing both pursuits were important and supporting his son's wish to venture out.
If Mu Lei could become the Prince Consort, needless to say, from then on, the Baihua Tribe would transform from a wild chicken to a phoenix, ascending to heaven in one step. Even if he couldn't become the Prince Consort, joining the Holy Spirit Academy would still be a tremendous fortune for a Martial Artist, for the Holy Spirit Academy is the best academy in Gray Wolf Kingdom, a gathering place of prodigies with endless cultivation resources, a truly coveted cultivation haven for any Martial Artist.
"Hehe, all possibilities are there, but with my ability, the chance to become the Prince Consort might be slim, yet there's still great hope to join the Holy Spirit Academy. If it were Brother Zhao, he would definitely stand a good chance of becoming the Prince Consort."
Mu Lei said somewhat shyly.
"Are you also going to the Royal Capital?"
Cailian frowned slightly, staring into Zhao Letian's eyes, and asked in a peculiar tone.
"En, do you want to go together?"
Zhao Letian was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and nodded.
Although he was unaware of the Princess's summon for a Prince Consort or the recruitment of students by the Holy Spirit Academy, he had long been thinking of venturing to the Gray Wolf Kingdom Capital, for such a place filled with geniuses was where he could truly show his mettle.
"I'd rather not go. Compared with the Royal Capital, I prefer the leisurely life here. You go ahead, and please take good care of Mu Lei, also, I hope you can marry the Princess as you wish."
A hint of melancholy flitted across Cailian's eyes, then she turned away somberly, taking with her the black puppet that Zhao Letian had given her, and left directly.
"Err, what's going on? Why do I smell jealousy? Brother Zhao, what exactly is the situation with you and my sister?"
Mu Lei was slightly startled, then asked with a look of embarrassment.
"Brat, always so talkative. Alright, since Zilong is going to the Royal Capital with you, father is relieved. Remember, be careful in everything when you are outside. I'm going to be busy, you young people chat."
Mu Shan laughed and scolded, then continued to clean up the battlefield, as an experienced person, he recognized the situation between his daughter, Cailian, and Zhao Letian, but he did not want to comment much on the affairs of young people.
"Brother Zhao, stop looking, my sister has already gone far. If you still have something to say, just tell her directly."
Mu Lei gave a helpless smile, he too saw a hint of reluctance in Zhao Letian's eyes.
"It's nothing, let's go, I'll take you."
Zhao Letian's expression became solemn, he shook his head, then took out a Flying Boat, jumped on it. This Flying Boat was not a Cloud Piercing Boat, but a Six-Star Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, whose origin was unknown but belonged to some unfortunate soul, its speed was also not slow, and it was perfectly suitable for travel.
Mu Lei smiled and nodded, then jumped directly onto the Flying Boat.
Then, with a thought from Zhao Letian, he activated the Flying Boat, turning it into a streak of light, heading towards the distant horizon.
"Zhao Letian, I will always be here waiting for you."
Having walked far away, Cailian suddenly turned around, gazing at the streak of light in the sky, her beautiful eyes slightly reddened.
Although she could walk with Zhao Letian if she wished, she chose not to, well aware that she was just an ordinary girl with mediocre talent while Zhao Letian was a shining star of the heavens. By Zhao Letian's side, there would inevitably be many women far superior to her, and she did not want to live in the shadow of others.
"Dark Level Cultivation Technique Martial Technique? Alchemy? Spiritual Device Origin Stone?"
After the light in the sky had completely disappeared, Cailian then opened the Storage Ring that Zhao Letian had given her before leaving. She was instantly stunned, her beautiful eyes revealing a surprised expression and at the same time, a trace of hopeful color. With these precious cultivation resources, perhaps, one day, she could catch up to Zhao Letian's footsteps and follow by his side.
