853: Chapter 846: Entanglent 853: Chapter 846: Entanglent “Hehe…” Upon hearing lia’s question, Luo’er couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.
It did not surprise him that lia would ask such a question, for her purpose had always been pure, aid solely at the throne.
Should he tell her that the people of Earth were planning to establish a unified governnt in Otherworld, she would surely worry whether the position she had struggled so hard to seize could be maintained.
“Once the ti is ripe, reform will be inevitable; but rest assured,” Luo’er said, “If you have earned what you desire through your own efforts, we will definitely not strip it away from you.
However, we do hope that you understand one thing, no one can stop the tide of the tis.
Otherworld will eventually undergo fundantal changes, so I still hope that you can prepare yourself ntally.”
“Thank you for your suggestion.” lia nodded sowhat distractedly.
“lia, this world will ultimately change, and what you see now is just the calm before the storm.
So, whether you choose to embrace the future or cling to the past is entirely up to you,” Luo’er said seriously.
“I understand, I will give it so thought,” lia nodded and replied.
“Let’s talk about sothing else; this topic feels a bit heavy,” Luo’er said with a smile seeing lia deep in thought.
“What shall we talk about, matters between us?” lia asked with a smile after slightly adjusting her mood.
“Stop making fun of ,” Luo’er said awkwardly, waving his hand, then he continued with a serious expression, “Our headquarters is planning to relocate to Lipei, did you know about this?”
“I am aware.
I have already instructed my subordinates to make the necessary preparations, just waiting for your move,” lia nodded.
“Er, when the Otherworld Gate in Lipei is open, co visit us on Earth,” Luo’er said earnestly.
“In what capacity?” lia tilted her head and asked him.
“Eh, of course as…
as Princess Masia…” Luo’er hesitated for a mont, then carefully replied.
“Thank you for the invitation, I will go,” lia nodded in response.
“Er…” Luo’er tried to find another topic, but lia interrupted him.
“Regarding your mission this ti, I have prepared all the supplies that your headquarters left with , and there is a team of Cavalry on standby, just waiting for you to depart.
Additionally,” she paused, then continued, “considering you may face unforeseen dangers this ti, I plan to send extra hands with you.
The Knight Commander needs to protect , so he cannot be spared.
I am thinking of sending Xilia with you to the Snow Domain.”
“No need, we have plenty of people, there’s no need to arrange more for us,” Luo’er declined with a smile, “And, to speak frankly, our supplies for this trip to the Snow Domain are quite limited; it would be hard to sustain another person.”
“At the very least, let her accompany you to the entrance of the North Lead Corridor,” lia said.
“This, alright…” Faced with lia’s earnest gaze, Luo’er knew he couldn’t refuse her and thus chose to agree.
“Don’t underestimate Xilia; she’s a decent assassin,” lia said.
“What’s her background?
I feel she’s not like the Marsyan people,” Luo’er inquired.
“Her family is in Otland.
It’s said that she beca an assassin to avenge her father,” lia replied indifferently.
“To avenge her father?” Luo’er hadn’t expected that there was such a backstory to Xilia.
“Yes, apparently a few years ago, her father was implicated in a gang dispute and was assassinated by a rival force.
She has been searching for the assassin’s trail ever since,” lia added after a mont’s thought.
“And how did you end up taking her in?” Luo’er asked.
“She said that the murderer of her father might be from Masia, so I promised her that if I claid the throne, I would help her search for her father’s murderer nationwide.
With that, she agreed to beco one of my subordinates,” lia explained.
“Quite the promissory note…” Luo’er said with a wry smile.
“That’s about right, but I think I can make it happen,” lia glanced at Luo’er and said confidently.
“Well,” Luo’er nodded and then half-jokingly added, “Since you’re so eager to rush us out, I reckon we shouldn’t overstay our welco.”
“I didn’t an to rush you out,” lia replied calmly, “Your mission isn’t supposed to be that urgent, right?
With the Snow Domain currently blocked by heavy snowfall, it would be difficult for you to make headway.
Why not wait until spring to proceed?”
“Urgent is just a pretext for the headquarters to the outside world,” Luo’er sighed and continued, “You might not know, but right now, everyone at the headquarters is eagerly awaiting the opening of the Otherworld Gate, their work can only continue with that.
So, the burden we carry is not light.”
“Alright, it looks like I can’t convince you to stay,” lia said with a look of regret.
“Thank you for your hospitality.
We’ll co back if we have the chance,” Luo’er replied.
“Honestly, if it weren’t for business, you wouldn’t co at all, would you?” lia stared at Luo’er, a half-smiling, half-mocking expression on her face.
“That’s…
I’ll co by when I have the ti,” Luo’er said awkwardly.
“It doesn’t matter,” lia sighed, then added, “Set off tomorrow.
I’ve already prepared everything and everyone for you.”
“Thank you very much.” Luo’er nodded and expressed his gratitude.
“Don’t ntion it, I’m just fulfilling soone’s request,” lia said, shaking her head.
“Is there not a personal reason then?” Luo’er blurted out, not sure what made him ask such a thing.
“There is,” lia glanced at Luo’er, showing a charming smile, “I’m just worried about soone blushing, that’s all.”
Luo’er had only been in lia’s office for a little over half an hour before he hurried out as lia was preparing to bathe and change.
Of course, lia wouldn’t mind Luo’er’s gaze, but he didn’t have the nerve to stay, and so he scurried out.
As he walked out, he also took the opportunity to glance at Xilia standing guard at the door.
She had been watching him with wary eyes the whole ti, showing no signs of relaxation, clearly still distrustful of him.
The thought that she would accompany him all the way to the North Lead Corridor made Luo’er give her a few extra glances.
For so unclear reason, he always felt that Xilia looked familiar, as if he had seen her sowhere before.
Leaving lia’s office and walking the corridors, Fulajie’er suddenly spoke, “Luo’er, did you have sothing you wanted to say to that woman just now, sothing you were worried I might overhear?”
“What are you talking about?
I’ve said all I need to say,” Luo’er denied outright.
“You don’t have to lie to .
I can see right through you when you lie,” Fulajie’er sighed and went on, “If you think I shouldn’t know about certain things, just tell .
I promise not to encroach on your private space or eavesdrop on your conversations.”
“What nonsense are you talking?” Luo’er said with a bitter smile, “Do you also hope sothing happens between lia and …”
“Of course not.
Compared to bad won, perhaps I can be more open about it.
After all, all I demand from you is company, not love,” Fulajie’er answered truthfully.
Facing Fulajie’er’s sincere response, Luo’er found himself speechless, unsure of what to say.
He opened his mouth several tis, but couldn’t find the words to express himself, so he fell silent again.
“Luo’er!” Just as Luo’er lapsed into silence, he heard Fulajie’er calling his na again, this ti her voice sounding heavy with concern.
“What’s the matter?” Luo’er responded.
“Do you think…
if I were to be resurrected, we…
could still be together?” Fulajie’er asked hesitantly.
“I, I don’t know…” Hearing her question, Luo’er was taken aback for a mont and then reluctantly opened his mouth to reply.
“The thought of it makes feel that maybe I’m better off not being resurrected, staying like this at least I’ll have your company.
If I were resurrected and couldn’t be with you, then what would be the point of living?” Fulajie’er said earnestly.
