498: Chapter 491: Falling out over a single remark 498: Chapter 491: Falling out over a single remark On the way ho, Luo’er pondered over Cheng Ziang’s words, realizing their validity.
They indeed needed to understand Theron.
While Luoya was barely a novice, if she had participated in the ambush against the Judgent Legion, it ant she must have at least known so people in Theron.
Otherwise, her reckless presence on the battlefield with just a bow and arrow would have put her at risk of friendly fire.
Thinking so, Luo’er decided to find Luoya and seek her opinion.
Although he could leave this task to Cheng Ziang, he was after all Luoya’s brother.
No matter what, their relationship couldn’t remain so tense forever.
It seed that as long as Luoya wasn’t with Luo’er, she acted quite honestly and had been quiet for the past few days.
Cheng Ziang used to visit her frequently, claiming to convey ssages between the siblings.
However, Luo’er always doubted his intentions.
In fact, Luoya only had a strained relationship with him, getting along quite well with others; she could even chat with Hu Daoke.
It was unknown why she was so cold towards Luo’er, possibly out of guilt.
Luo’er ca directly to the tree house, where Luoya lived with the Olavia sisters.
He reached the door and was about to knock when it opened itself.
Ona stepped out from the room, a joyous smile spread across her face upon seeing Luo’er.
“Sir!” Ona exclaid, excitedly looking up at him.
“I’ve told you not to call ‘Sir.’ Just call Luo’er,” Luo’er helplessly responded with a hand gesture.
“Alright, Sir Luo’er!” Ona nodded her head.
“Never mind, call whatever you want.
Is Luoya here?” Luo’er shook his head and asked.
“Are you looking for her?” Ona asked, glancing towards the room.
“I need her for sothing,” Luo’er responded.
“She’s inside,” Ona paused, contemplated a bit, then said, “I’ll go get my sister.”
“Thanks!” Luo’er smiled.
He didn’t expect young Ona to be quite considerate.
“No, no, no, Sir Luo’er.
You don’t have to thank , it’s my duty,” Ona said as she waved her hand.
Ona was a few years younger than Olavia, probably fourteen or fifteen.
As they are Bobulu people, he could guess their age.
For hybrids like the Snow Elves, like Theron, you couldn’t tell their age from their appearance at all.
Having spent a long ti in the Otherworld, Luo’er had developed a broad perspective on age.
Nina, who was hundreds of years older than him, looked like his sister when standing beside him, not at all like mother and son.
Therefore, Luo’er had grown accustod to separating the real age and physical apparent age of the Otherworld inhabitants, especially hybrids.
He treated them according to their apparent age.
For example, Theron appeared to be six or seven, so he treated her like a six or seven-year-old girl.
Queen Lillith of Ilanadale was over four hundred years old, but she looked like a forty-year-old, so he treated her like a forty-year-old aunt.
However, regarding the Queen, Luo’er made so distinctions.
After all, that was his grandmother.
It wasn’t possible for him to really consider her as a forty-year-old aunt.
Soon, Ona led Olavia out of the room.
Luo’er entered the room, and upon seeing him, Luoya imdiately beca alert.
“What are you here for?” Luoya frowned, her tone unfriendly.
“Don’t look at like that, as if I were a villain.
Rember, I am your brother,” Luo’er shrugged.
As he spoke, the vigilance in Luoya’s eyes did not diminish at all.
She seed as if Luo’er was about to kidnap her and sell her off, which made Luo’er both annoyed and amused.
She pursed her lips, moved them as if to say sothing, but ended up remaining silent.
If ti allowed, Luo’er hoped to have a proper chat with her, at least to resolve their conflicts and return to a normal brother-sister relationship.
However, they were to depart the next day, so he didn’t have much ti to chat with Luoya.
“Luoya, you were part of Theron, weren’t you?” Since ti was of the essence, Luo’er stopped beating around the bush and asked bluntly.
“I thought I ntioned it before.
Are you trying to use this to humiliate ?” Luoya asked, furrowing her brows.
“Why would I humiliate you?” On hearing her words, Luo’er also frowned – displeased.
He suddenly rembered that Luoya had spoken to him about her past, which was why he knew she hadn’t joined Theron.
“I’m not here to humiliate you, I just have sothing to ask,” Luo’er paused, decided to soften his tone and asked amicably.
“What do you want to ask?” Luoya stared at him and asked.
“Since you have had contact with Theron, you should have a good understanding of them.
Can you tell about their situation?” Luo’er said.
“Why should I tell you!” Luoya retorted without hesitation.
“You…” Faced with her attitude, Luo’er felt a flush of anger, although he couldn’t think of a reason why she should tell him, Luoya’s manner towards him upset him.
“I just want to understand their situation…” Luo’er took a deep breath, forcing his anger down, and spoke calmly.
“You are our enemy, why should I tell you about Theron?” Luoya said with a stony face.
“What enemy!
You are not Theron.” Luo’er shot back, visibly frustrated.
“Since I’m not Theron, why would you ask ?” Luoya said.
“Luoya, are you deliberately trying to start a fight with ?” Luo’er was so annoyed he was starting to have difficulty breathing.
“Hmph!” Not frightened by Luo’er’s impending explosion, Luoya turned her face away disdainfully.
Luo’er took several deep breaths, barely suppressing his anger, nearly passed out from rage.
Facing Luoya’s disdain, he patiently explained, “The Ancient States are carrying out a military weapons research project.
We cannot let them succeed, so I need to ask you about Theron.
The organization is the defensive force for this project.”
“What military weapons research project?” Luoya was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask about this sowhat confusing matter.
“The Ancient States have a Creating God Plan, don’t know if you’ve heard of it.” Luo’er asked.
“Creating God Plan?” Luoya looked puzzled, obviously not aware of it.
“It would take too long to explain right now, but in short, this project is a military weapons developnt plan, once completed, the Ancient States will possess powerful magical weapons.” Luo’er explained.
“What does it have to do with you if the Ancient States have powerful weapons?” Luoya frowned as she said.
Luo’er sighed, then said, “Because we don’t allow it, or rather, we from Earth don’t allow it.
You were born in the Ancient States and think of yourself as one of them.
But don’t forget, you also have the blood of Earth people.
If you thought from the standpoint of Earth people, you would understand why we need to do this.”
“I don’t care about any Earth blood, I was born in the Ancient States, so I am an Ancient State person.
You are an enemy to the Ancient States, which ans you are an enemy to !” Luoya stubbornly shouted.
“You!” Luo’er was truly angered by her this ti, because by saying so, Luoya was essentially denying Luo Chuan’s existence.
He could understand Luoya’s unfamiliarity with their father, but he couldn’t accept her negation of him.
“Ah, just as I thought, you two are fighting.” Just as the two of them drew swords and flexed bows, Cheng Ziang directly entered the room and walked right between the two.
“You’re usually quite good-tempered with others, why are you so bad-tempered with your sister.” Cheng Ziang turned around and complained.
“This…” Luo’er was about to speak, but was stopped by a tap on the shoulder from Cheng Ziang.
He imdiately understood that Cheng Ziang was giving him an out.
So he sighed and resignedly said, “Forget it, I can’t be bothered anymore.”
“You go first, I’ll talk to her.” Cheng Ziang patted his arm and said.
“You…” Luo’er squinted at him, now he was more and more suspicious that Cheng Ziang had a hidden agenda.
“What’s the matter?” Cheng Ziang imdiately got goosebumps when Luo’er looked at him.
“Never mind, you go talk to her, I have other business to attend to.” Luo’er waved his hand and left the room without looking back.
If he rembered correctly, Cheng Ziang was originally portrayed as cool and aloof, when did he beco so proactive?
